Chapter Sixty-Nine: Back to the Light

"You brought these things, do you really think we're going to hunt ghosts?" Mu Chenghuang walked briskly all the way, urging all the way. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

Baojuan's voice trembled slightly: "But princess, we are going to pass through the Hall of Forgotten Worries and the well that has died." ”

While talking, the two of them could already see the majestic but gloomy eaves of the Hall of Forgotten Worries from a distance, and the occasional sound of the hexagonal wind chimes under the eaves seemed particularly ethereal in this night, and the closer Mu Chenghuang walked, the more clearly he could see that the little bit of the Hall of Forgotten Worries was like a ghost fire flickering unknown lights, thinking that it was Wu Cainu alone in the palace to spend this long night.

With the wind chimes coming and going, the occasional cry of Wu Cai girl sounded from the Hall of Forgotten Worries, Baojuan only felt very scared in her heart, she tightened Mu Chenghuang's sleeve, but opened her mouth to comfort Mu Chenghuang and said: "The princess is not afraid, there are slaves and maids." ”

Mu Chenghuang squinted at her and said coldly: "Baojuan, you are about to tear my sleeves." ”

The dark palace road seems to be very long to walk, the place where Concubine Jing lives is more remote than the Forget Worry Palace, this place is a dead corner where even the guards have not come to patrol on weekdays, the palace door is closed, Mu Chenghuang glanced at Baojuan, Baojuan dared to step forward and knock on the door, but no one answered the door for a long time.

Mu Chenghuang took out his hand from his cloak and was about to knock on the door himself, when the door suddenly made a heavy rattling sound, which was the sound of the old door bolt rubbing in the mortar groove, and a head poked out from Mu Chenghuang's waist, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see his face clearly.

"Who?"

"It's me. Mu Chenghuang looked at this person holding a candle that was about to be extinguished in his hand, and his rickety back seemed to be carrying a thousand pounds of burden, "Is it Mama Hong?"

Before, she remembered that Mama Hong said that she was the only one who served Concubine Jing now, and it was not Concubine Jing who opened the door.

Mama Hong can't see people clearly at night, she hit the candlelight on Mu Chenghuang's face, looked at it carefully for a long time, and suddenly found that it was Mu Chenghuang, and she was ready to go back after receiving the candle, but fortunately, Baojuan's eyes were quick, and she grabbed the door frame with one hand, where could Mama Hong be worthy of this young and strong Baojuan, but she still pulled the door frame, and said fiercely: "Concubine Jing doesn't have time to see guests, and she doesn't want to see the princess, so the princess goes." ”

In fact, because of Ying'er's matter, Mu Chenghuang privately exposed that Mama Hong was lying, and Mu Chenghuang guessed that Mama Hong had no good impression of herself, but it was precisely because Mama Hong was worried about Ying'er and was unhappy for Ying'er, so Ying'er was also a great breakthrough between her and Mama Hong.

"Mama Hong, I have a relic of Ying'er here, which was brought out by my aunt who entrusted the court bureau, I think, do you want to take a look?" Mu Chenghuang took out a handkerchief prepared in advance, this was indeed what she was looking for Qi Baozhu to come at that time, Qi Baozhu was still puzzled, this person died, and everyone avoided the things left behind, and there were few special collections like Mu Chenghuang, but fortunately, after Ying'er died, everyone felt bad luck about the things in this room, and no one had touched it, but it was just a handkerchief embroidered by Ying'er, if Mu Chenghuang wanted it, there were eight out of ten.

But Mu Chenghuang only needs one, and asks to burn all the others, the so-called rare things are expensive, it is precisely because there are no other things that the one in her hand is particularly precious.

After Shen Ke knew about this, he specially praised her, saying that if she was in business, she would definitely be the most profitable black-hearted businessman.

Sure enough, as soon as Mama Hong heard Ying'er's name, her hand was loosened, and Baojuan took the opportunity to push the door open, and Mama Hong didn't stop her, but just spread out her hand and said, "What relics?"

Mu Chenghuang directly handed the handkerchief to Mama Hong without warning, "A handkerchief embroidered by herself, embroidered with longevity pine, come to think of it, which elder or old man do you want to give it to." ”

Mu Chenghuang said, while looking at Mama Hong's face under the dim candlelight, Mama Hong's back was very hunched, although she couldn't see her face, she could feel that she was trembling violently, as if the emotions she had endured for a long time suddenly burst, she pulled the veil tightly, although she desperately didn't want to show any excessive emotions in front of Mu Chenghuang, but she still couldn't help but sigh: "My Ying'er, my hard-working little niece." ”

Mama Hong carefully folded the handkerchief neatly, hid it in her arms, and gave everything to her, Mu Chenghuang could make a generous request: "Mama Hong, I don't know if it's convenient at this time, see Concubine Jing." ”

Mama Hong glanced at Mu Chenghuang vigilantly, waved her hand and said, "Concubine Jing has been in the past few days, her body is no longer good, she has no strength to speak, and she has no heart to see you." ”

This is what it means to drive people out, and suddenly, from the quiet room without a trace of light, an old voice called: "Lin'er, is someone coming? Is it her?"

Mama Hong's original name was Hong Lin, and like Mama Gu, this small character can only be called by this old master who serves all the year round, and there is no one else in this palace who can call Mama Hong like this except Concubine Jing.

It's just that "she" in Concubine Jing's mouth, who is she talking about?

Mama Hong glanced at Mu Chenghuang, bowed to the front of the curtain, and said respectfully: "It's a wild cat outside, the concubine is afraid of cats, and the slave maid drove the cat for the concubine and came in." ”

"You don't have to hide it from me, I told you that if she comes, let her in. ”

Concubine Jing's words were very weak, and after saying a word, it seemed like she had gone to the side of half a life, Mama Hong gritted her teeth and said, "No one, Concubine heard wrong." After that, he waved at Mu Chenghuang and asked Mu Chenghuang to leave.

How could Mu Chenghuang give up so easily, and suddenly raised his voice and said to Concubine Jing inside: "Concubine knows that I am coming?" Mu Chenghuang did not report his name, just because if he was not the person that Concubine Jing expected, he would not be kicked out immediately.

"Fifth princess," Mama Hong leaned on her back, but her steps were suddenly extremely fast, and she pushed Mu Chenghuang reflexively, "Concubine Jing is tired, the princess will come back another day." ”

"Is it really you?" Concubine Jing's tone was unexpectedly relieved, as if the secret she had kept for many years could finally be revealed, and she called, "Lin'er, bring her in." ”

Even though Mama Hong was reluctant in her heart, the master had already spoken, and Mu Chenghuang had two people with Baojuan, so she couldn't stop her.

In the dormitory, it is really dark, and people who have been sick for a long time will have a sick breath on their bodies, and the Empress Dowager Pei has been bedridden for a few days, and she is also sick, but she has been infecting the room with high-quality incense and flowers, but she can't smell it at all.

But Concubine Jing is different here, as soon as Mu Chenghuang stepped into this hall, he smelled a very strong smell, Baojuan couldn't help but cover his nose with his hands, and was coldly glanced at by Mama Hong, but he didn't dare to show a tasteful expression here.

The things here are all half-old, but they are also neat, only on the table, there are stacks of new brocade boxes in neat places, which are a little out of place with the atmosphere in this room, this should be sent by the Empress Dowager Pei in the afternoon, Mama Hong saw Mu Chenghuang's eyes fall on this brocade box, and immediately stepped forward, hugged the brocade box, and said: "The slave maid cleaned up these things for the concubine, so as not to be an eyesore." ”

The person in the heavy curtain did not speak, which can be regarded as acquiescence, it seems that the relationship between this Concubine Jing and Empress Dowager Pei is a little ingenious.

Mu Chenghuang bowed to Concubine Jing uprightly, and he didn't care about the black light, the person who was lying on the bed and was still separated by the heavy curtains couldn't see it clearly.

"The younger generation came this time, and I had a few questions I wanted to ask the concubine. ”

There was a sudden silence inside, and Mu Chenghuang thought that he was too straightforward to anger Concubine Jing, but who expected that a voice suddenly came from inside: "What have you found now?"

Mu Chenghuang was slightly stunned, several heavy gauze curtains floated up with the night wind, she couldn't see the people inside, but she felt that it seemed that her every move, the slightest change in her expression, could be clearly seen by the people inside, Concubine Jing didn't let her in, she could only talk to her through this heavy curtain, but in this way, she felt a little insecure, as if the person opposite was an omnipotent prophet, she calculated that she would come back, and she was sure that she would check some things, and she knew that she had given birth to a prince for the first emperor, and this prince also died in the nine sons, the rest, nothing is known.

Concubine Jing seemed to know her hesitation, and said: "I am a person who has stepped into the ghost gate, but it doesn't hurt for you to say it, maybe, you told me today, I will swallow my breath tomorrow, and your secret will always be a secret." ”

Mu Chenghuang glanced at Baojuan, Baojuan immediately retreated, and there were only two people in the palace now, she and Concubine Jing, she confessed: "Tianchi Country, I only know Tianchi Country, but Dashun's record of Tianchi Country is too little, and the matter is too long, I have inquired for a long time, and I have asked friends outside the palace to ask many old people, but this is like a mysterious country, I don't know where to start." ”

"Of course, you don't know," Concubine Jing said leisurely, "History has always been written by the winner, Tianchi was destroyed by Dashun, and it has long ceased to exist, and the emperor, but has always been in the name of a generation of Ming monarchs, how can this kind of pure destruction of the country of burning and plundering be recorded and remembered? However, I can tell you a lot of things, because Tianchi Country is the place where you were born, and it is also the place where I was born. ”

Mu Chenghuang's heart trembled suddenly, as if someone had grabbed the most sensitive nerve, she opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say, for a long time, it was a sentence: "Quiet...... Concubine Jing?"... Friends who read books, you can search for "", you can find this site as soon as possible.
