20. Chapter 20

Lin Fengyuan became more and more eerie at night, the wind blew through the forest as if a mourning song was blowing, and even the sound of each other's breathing could be clearly heard in the quiet surroundings.

The leaves rustled, and the voice became louder and louder, and Wei'er suddenly grabbed An Sui's hand, "Could there really be a ghost?" ”

An Sui patted her hand, "Don't be afraid, it's just the wind blowing." ”

"No, there have really been deaths here, and a sister who used to enter the palace with me saw a ghost here, and a good person was scared stupid. This is no joke. Many people have died here, even the first emperor's favorite concubine, Ning Guifei, do you know? It was here that she was executed, and many palace maids and eunuchs said that they had seen her haunted here, and she kept crying and crying, as if she hadn't stopped, and at night, she cried louder and louder, you listen, don't you? Here she comes, really! ”

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid." An Sui patted her on the back, "It's just a strange force, even if there really is a ghost, why did she come to you?" You have no grievances with her. ”

"Wow, Wow, Wow, Wow......"

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and Wei'er cried, "Don't come to me, I really didn't do anything, I'm just a little palace maid, I didn't do anything." Don't come to me. ”

An Sui stared at the source of the footsteps, although it was very light, but for some reason it made people feel extraordinarily calm, the wind blew gently, the footsteps also paused, An Sui seemed to feel the gaze projected in the gap between the trees in the jungle, that gaze made people feel as if the edge was on the back, a gust of wind swept through the neck, there was a creepy feeling, as if a bloody hand touched the neck.

The source of the gaze withdrew its gaze, and the footsteps grew farther and farther away, as if they were walking away.

Wei'er in his arms was already shaking like he was about to pass out.

"Ann-sama?"

"Here, longevity, here." An Sui heard the voice of longevity and hurriedly replied.

Changshou carried a palace lamp and ran a few steps, "Lord An makes it easy to find the minions." ”

"Don't say it, Wei'er is scared, why are you here."

"The emperor is coming, and the master asked the servants to come to Lord An."

"It's so late?" An Sui looked at the sky, it was already past dinner time, it seemed that the emperor was going to stay in Chang'en Pavilion.

"Don't say it, let's go."

"What about Wei'er?"

"The master said don't let her appear in front of the emperor, and the slave will take her back first."

"It's fine."

As soon as he returned to the door of Chang'en Pavilion, Ji Xuanyuan arrived, Changshou was shocked, and he couldn't care about comforting Wei'er, so he immediately knelt down, "Welcome to the emperor." ”

Before Ji Xuanyuan could say anything, Wei'er rushed up and grabbed the corner of the emperor's clothes, "The emperor helps, the emperor helps!" ”

"Bold minion!" Xu Mingchang immediately shouted angrily, and the two eunuchs behind him were also startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to talk about Wei'er.

Ji Xuanyuan frowned slightly, and didn't blame Wei'er, "Let her go, I remember you." ”

Wei'er knelt on the ground, "Go to the emperor to save the life of the slave and maid." ”

At this time, Liang Meiren heard the movement in the Chang'en Pavilion and hurriedly came out, "The emperor is blessed." ”

"No need to be polite."

Wei'er's hair was scattered, her face was also stained with bad mud, and her palace clothes were torn open twice, but this qiē looked pitiful because of Wei'er's tearful eyes. Liang Meiren looked at it, she was nervous and angry, "Wei'er, what are you doing here?" Pingbai stained the emperor's eyes, and he didn't retreat quickly. ”

Wei'er tears rippled, "The slave and maid don't leave, if you go back to the room, the master will find someone to beat me, the emperor begs you to save the slave and the maid, the slave and the maid did not mean to show in front of the emperor, the emperor asked the slave and the maid a few words yesterday, and the slave and the maid answered truthfully." ”

Ji Xuanyuan frowned, "Liang Meiren, what's going on?" ”

When Liang Meiren heard that Ji Xuanyuan's tone was wrong, she quickly knelt down and pleaded guilty, "Concubine, concubine doesn't know." ”

Wei'er kowtowed, "Your Majesty, the slave and maid just did their duty last night, the emperor asked the slave and maid something, and the slave and maid replied, but the master thought that the slave and maid were deliberately trying to attract the emperor's attention, so they would have killed the slave and maid, if it wasn't for Lord An to stop them, the slave and maid would probably have died." But the master still punished the slave and maid to kneel in Lin Fengyuan, and even Lord An was punished for interceding for the slave and maid. The slaves and maids are brave and ask the emperor to be the master of the slaves and maids. ”

"You're spewing blood, it's obvious that you made a mistake first." Liang Meiren shouted, and hurriedly turned to Ji Xuanyuan, "Your Majesty, the concubine only slightly punished this palace maid, and asked the emperor to learn from it." ”

"Your Majesty, there is no one in the Changen Pavilion who has not been beaten by the master." Wei'er suddenly lifted her sleeves, indeed the scars on her arms were there, both new and old, and the blue and purple ones looked really shocking, "Your Majesty, the slave maid is just a palace maid who is responsible for sprinkling and sweeping." ”

Wei'er easily pulled up the sleeves of longevity, "Did the emperor see it?" As long as the emperor doesn't come to Chang'en Pavilion, sometimes when he goes to other masters, the masters will be angry with us when they are unhappy. ”

Liang Mei's face turned red with anger, and she reached out and slapped Wei'er.

Ji Xuanyuan really couldn't stand it, "Enough, you are so presumptuous and unruly in front of me, it can be seen how arrogant you are when I can't see it on weekdays." ”

Only then did Liang Meiren realize what she had done, "The emperor is angry, and the concubines are dizzy for a while." ”

"Alright, I have eyes to see. The injuries on the bodies of these palace people can't be faked, the queen has given you some admonitions many times, but she doesn't want you to have no remorse at all, these palace maids and eunuchs are also human beings and flesh chiefs, but you use them to vent your anger, which shows that there is no mercy at all. Jealous of the concubines, disturbing the uneasiness in the palace, innocently punishing the female officials, and exceeding the authority to torture, do you think that I chose the female officials to stay by your side to add a subordinate to you? Female officers are also free for you to punish? You know that all of you are a great sin! ”

An Sui felt a chill in his heart, knelt in front of Ji Xuanyuan, "Please calm the emperor's anger, Liang Meiren made mistakes, and it was also the poor teaching of Weichen, I beg the emperor to open up to Liang Meiren, read that Liang Meiren has served the emperor for many years, and give Liang Meiren a chance to change." ”

Liang Meiren hurriedly said, "Yes, the concubine knows that she is wrong." begged the emperor to spare the concubine this time, and the concubine must sincerely change her ways. ”

Ji Xuanyuan squinted his eyes at An Sui who was kneeling on the ground, and thought for a while, "Xu Mingchang, Xiaoyu Liugong, the beauty of the Liang family, mistreats the palace people, abuses punishments, disrespects the emperor and queen, and is jealous of the concubines. As for the female official An's family, I read that her exhortation is meritorious, you don't have to be demoted first, and you can still be your Wen person. ”

"The minions obey."

An said casually, "Weichen thanks the emperor for his grace." ”

Liang Meiren sat slumped on the ground, opened her mouth but couldn't speak. Ji Xuanyuan asked, "What, is there any objection to my words?" ”

"The concubine is the order."
