Chapter 297
Mu Qingge was speechless for an instant, this girl actually used this trick. However, I didn't expect that Xiao Jin and Xiao Man were quite conscientious and knew that they would entrust someone to take care of themselves.
However, Dongyu and Dongxue are so honest, Mu Qingge is not easy to embarrass them, and he also understands that it is probably useless to embarrass them.
"Well, you've got it all to say, and I can't go too far. As I said, I won't embarrass you, I won't embarrass you. However, you must also understand that this is a cold palace, which is different from the outside. Whether you are ordered to protect me or spy on me, you need to be clear. The cold palace is far from being as calm as it seems, the three of us are now one, I just hope that you can not hide it from me, don't hide it from me, otherwise, if something really happens, I really can't say what the ending will be......" Mu Qingge spread his hands, saying that he was also helpless.
No matter who the cold palace is, it is not a good place. All kinds of rumors about the cold palace are also endless. Naturally, Dongyu and Dongxue have heard a lot, and the emperor's attitude is indeed very strange. Qing Leng said that he would closely monitor Mu Qingge, and he couldn't let Mu Qingge live too comfortably. However, the emperor's various expressions clearly made Mu Qingge live a very leisurely feeling. In fact, the two of them are already a little confused about what the master means. However, what Mu Qingge said was to sue her if he could not hide it, which was not an excessive request, the two glanced at each other and agreed without hesitation.
"Anyway, it's nothing, there are many boring days like this, so let's talk about what you know about this cold palace." Mu Qingge saw that the two agreed. Smile slightly. Put on a chatting attitude, "I really don't know anything about this cold palace." You've been in the palace for a long time, haven't you? Do you know anything about the cold palace? β
This is not a big deal, of course Dongyu and Dongxue will not fail to give Mu Qingge face. Dongxue was the first to say: "Actually, if you want to talk about it, I really don't know much about the cold palace, but I heard that it's really terrifying......"
Speaking of which. He also hugged his arms exaggeratedly. It seems that I remembered something terrible. After a pause, he added, "But." Dongyu should know a lot. She's been in the cold palace. β
Winter Rain probably didn't expect Winter Snow to be so direct. I looked at the winter snow in surprise. The latter laughed a little mischievously.
Mu Qingge's heart moved. Is it a coincidence that you sent yourself a girl who stayed in the cold palace? Are you also thinking too much?
"The slave maid has indeed been in the cold palace for almost a year......" Dongyu saw that Dongxue had betrayed herself. You can't help but admit it, just admit it directly. Speaking of which. Those days. Really...... It's still scary to think about it, so in fact, this time I just asked the slave maid to come to the cold palace, and the slave maid was very reluctant...... But. As it turned out, this time, it was much better than the last time......"
"Really? Can you tell us about the last time? Mu Qingge could see that Dongyu was not very happy with the memory of the last time in the cold palace, but there was no way, in order to learn more information, he had to ask.
At that time, Dongyu was still serving in the palace of the core concubine Niangniang, the core concubine Niangniang made a mistake and was punished to the cold palace, Dongyu saw that the core concubine Niangniang had no one to take care of, so she also came to take care of it. However, the core concubine Niangniang did not survive until the day when she came out of the cold palace...... "Dongxue seemed to regret mentioning this stubble a little, and helped Dongyu summarize the events of the year.
Dong Yu was not as sensitive as when he first mentioned it just now, thinking that he had promised Mu Qingge just now that he couldn't hide it, he would tell the truth, and took the initiative to add: "At that time, we didn't live in this courtyard, and there were more than a dozen masters living in our courtyard, each of which was a ...... Anyway, we really don't have enough to eat every day...... When I first entered the cold palace, it happened to be winter again, and I didn't even have a quilt...... The core concubine is actually not very old, where did she suffer that kind of hard life, plus at that time, there were a few ...... in the yard Not quite mentally normal...... The core concubine couldn't stand that kind of double torture, and soon fell ill, and at that time, she had already forgotten who the core concubine was at that time......
"It's okay, it's all over." Mu Qingge saw that there were already tears in Dongyu's eyes, looking at her appearance that she was only ten ** years old now, she must not have been very old at that time, so at that time, she must have suffered a lot of torture. Mu Qingge didn't know who this core concubine was, but it wouldn't have been a long time ago. Inferred from Dong Yu's age, it should have been within ten years, so Mu Qingge changed the topic, "Which courtyard did you live in at that time?" Is it close to our current yard? β
"Speaking of which, it's not very far away, there are two courtyards in between......" Dongyu wiped a handful of tears and said.
The courtyard where Mu Qingge and the others live now is in the most corner of the entire cold palace, and when they came, Mu Qingge felt that the two courtyards next to them were uninhabited. Now Dongyu said that the courtyard where they lived at that time was separated from this courtyard by two yards, that is to say, the courtyard they lived in before should be the closest one to this courtyard among the residents. Although it is said that there is no book without coincidence, there are too many coincidences left together, and Mu Qingge can't help but wonder if there is any connection here.
"Actually, I've always been quite strange, the two courtyards next to it, there are no people, right? Why did His Majesty insist that we live in a courtyard in the far corner? Mu Qingge looked at the two girls puzzled, "Do you know?" β
Dongxue shook her head: "The slave doesn't know, the cold girl didn't say it, but maybe she was afraid that the young lady would be noisy, right?" This is really the quietest place in the whole cold palace, those courtyards, are too ......"
Dong Xue didn't finish speaking, Mu Qingge understood what she meant, where there were crazy people, of course it was noisy. However, in the cold palace, I'm afraid that I'd rather be noisy than so quiet. Moreover, there is another point, if you are really afraid that you will be noisy, shouldn't you arrange a yard for yourself alone? Aren't the two yards next door still empty?
"So, what about Miss Chen?" Mu Qingge continued to speak suspiciously. "Why did His Majesty arrange her alone in this courtyard? Do any of you know that Miss Chen? β
That's the most important question. Mu Qingge had wanted to ask for a long time. It's just that I'm afraid that the two of them won't want to tell the truth, so I've endured it. At this time, when the atmosphere reached such a time, he understood that even if the two of them didn't tell the truth, they wouldn't lie to themselves, so Mu Qingge asked this question. If Emperor Shang Jing really locked himself up here, he really wanted to get something from Miss Chen. Then, the two girls Dongxue and Dongyu should know a little bit about Miss Chen, so that they can have a direction.
But. Mu Qingge was quickly disappointed. Because Winter Rain and Winter Snow shook their heads one after another, and there was no trace of lying. I really don't know Miss Chen.
"Didn't that Miss Chen say that? She's been locked up here for 10 years. The slave and maid are in this palace. I haven't been here for 10 years. "Winter Snow pouts." Ten years ago. Surely many people don't remember, the slave maid thinks that Her Majesty must have forgotten about this Chen girl...... I just didn't think of it. She lives well in this cold palace. β
Miss Chen's is unusual, even these two palace maids can see it. Mu Qingge thinks. Even Emperor Shang Jing didn't mean that. She also wants to start with Miss Chen. There may be some unexpected gains. After all, now she's on the run. It is not qualified. Dongyu and Dongxue are two girls, both of whom can do martial arts, and they are not their opponents at all. And outside the yard. There are also several guards. Although they are all in the dark, Mu Qingge has already confirmed with the two girls that they are indeed zΓ i. Since there is no way to leave, there is something strange happening here, of course, we have to investigate.
"You are usually in the palace, have you never heard of this Chen girl? β¦β¦ Or, a story about her? Legend? Mu Qingge also wanted to see if there was anything missing.
"The slave maid once helped Niangniang deal with things and sorted out the list of the harem, not to mention that there is no one named Miss Chen in the harem of His Majesty, that is, the surname Chen, the surname Cheng, there are none." Dong Yu said with certainty, "Moreover, her name is also very strange, the slave doesn't look like a person in this palace." β
This point coincides with Mu Qingge's thoughts, but at the same time, there is a more puzzling question, why are people who are not in the palace locked up in the cold palace?
"When the slave maid was in the cold palace with the core concubine, she heard some things about this courtyard." Dongxue may have remembered the past, or perhaps she remembered the dead Xin Concubine Niangniang, her reaction was a little slow, and her expression was a little sluggish.
Mu Qingge noticed that she was talking about "this yard", not about "Miss Chen". Such a statement may not seem to make much difference, but in fact, it is not a small difference.
"What kind of thing?" Mu Qingge hurriedly asked.
"Say this yard...... Haunted......" Dongxue hesitated for a moment and said.
Mu Qingge was stunned for a moment, a little strange. Seriously, there are too many people dying in the cold palace, so almost every cold palace will have rumors of haunting. Therefore, it should not be an unusual thing for haunting to be in the cold palace. But why, Dongxue will specifically bring it up?
Dongyu also thought of this, and said puzzledly: "Which cold palace is not haunted?" β
"This courtyard, haunting is not simple......" Dong Xue's body trembled slightly, as if she thought of the horror of the past, and thought that she was now in this haunted place, so she suddenly became afraid.
"What's not easy?" Although he could see Dongxue's fear, Mu Qingge still asked, unusual places, in order to find flaws.
"Haunting in other places is all mysterious, but in fact, few people have really seen ghosts." Dongxue explained, "However, the ghost of this courtyard dares to appear in broad daylight, and countless people ......have seen it."
So mysterious? Dongyu couldn't help but shudder, but he couldn't help but be curious: "So, what does that ghost look like?" β
"No face...... Accurate, accurate, say, yes, there are no facial features......" Dongxue seemed to be immersed in memories and couldn't pull it out, "Many people have seen it, but the female ghost has come and gone without a trace, and I can't catch ......"
"Ah......h
"Okay, it's okay, it's just a legend, and Dongxue hasn't seen it with his own eyes, right?" Mu Qingge also walked over and hugged the two of them. Comforting them.
The winter rain is still a little shivering. But I heard Dongxue say: "Yes, the slave maid hasn't seen ......"
Only then did Dong Yu calm down, stretched out his hand and pushed Dong Xue, and said angrily: "You haven't seen it, what you said is the same as the truth, it's scared to death!" β
Dong Xue was scared a little bit by Dong Yu when she said this, and she was a little more embarrassed, and she saw that Mu Qingge was younger than the two of them. Instead, he came to comfort the two of them. Suddenly a little ashamed, explained: "It's really not that slaves are cowardly. At that time. There was a man in the yard. I was scared crazy by the female ghost. Every day I yelled that I saw a ghost. And. I heard that many people have seen it with their own eyes, so it shouldn't be fake...... Otherwise, you think. Why is there no one else living in this courtyard? Why are there no people living in the two courtyards next door? β
Winter snow says this, not only winter rain. Even Mu Qingge. I feel a chill down my spine. There's a creepy feeling.
"But, Miss, how do you know that Dongxue hasn't seen it with your own eyes?" Winter rain in order to drive away fear. deliberately diverted the topic and asked Mu Qingge.
The reason why Mu Qingge guessed that Dong Xue hadn't seen the so-called female ghost with her own eyes was because when Dong Xue first entered this courtyard today, even until they talked about the past, there was no great fear of this courtyard. If she had really seen such a terrifying ghost, how could she forget it? Naturally, you will remember it as soon as you come. But she didn't remember. It means that she has not seen it with her own eyes at all. It was only just now that Dongxue recalled his previous days in the cold palace, and he thought of other people's descriptions, and thought that he was now in this legendary haunted courtyard, so he couldn't help but bring it in and think about it, so the more he thought about it, the more terrifying it became.
However, if you say it directly, it is estimated that the three of them will involuntarily bring people in tonight in their dreams. So, you can't answer that.
Mu Qingge was still thinking about how to answer, when he heard two small sounds, "Bang, Bang". The three of them were originally in a tense atmosphere, and these two sounds, the sound was not very loud, but it seemed to knock on people's hearts, and they were suddenly so frightened that people's three souls and seven spirits were about to disperse. Dongxue and Dongyu involuntarily hugged each other again, and screamed in unison.
When the two of them screamed, Qingge calmed down. patted the two of them on the shoulder and said, "Don't panic, let's go out and have a look." β
Let's say, take the lead and open the door, Dongyu and Dongxue looked at each other, and then followed Mu Qingge to open the door tremblingly.
Standing outside the door was Xiaofu, who seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Mu Qingge and the fact that they came to open the door so late. But she still said very politely: "This is what our girl gave to Miss Mu." β
After that, he handed Mu Qingge a bag.
"Thank you for me." Mu Qingge took it gratefully, but couldn't help but ask, "However, I don't know what is in this?" β
"The ...... of insect repellent" Xiaofu seemed to be too lazy to explain, but said patiently, "In summer, there are many insects and snakes." β
A very concise answer, I don't really want to talk to Mu Qingge.
"Your girl has a heart, thank you for me." Mu Qingge didn't ask much, and said to Dong Yu, "Dong Xue, you can send Miss Xiaofu back." β
"No need." Xiaofu hurriedly waved his hand, "The slave is very familiar with this place. β
After that, he didn't wait for Mu Qingge to say anything more, turned around and left.
Mu Qingge is nothing, Dong Xue and Dong Yu have recovered from the terrifying atmosphere just now, seeing that Xiao Fu is not polite, and he was frightened just now, he will inevitably feel angry in his heart. I couldn't help but mutter: "Really, what's the spirit?" β
"Actually, Miss Chen is already very good, knowing that there are many insects, rats, snakes and ants at night this summer, she kindly sent us a medicine bag, we should thank them." Mu Qingge said, taking the medicine bag and checking it.
However, the attitude of the palace maid was inevitably a little too arrogant. Forget it, miss, you are the young lady of the Mu family......" said in the winter rain.
"What Miss of the Mu family?" Mu Qingge couldn't help but laugh, "When that Miss Chen entered the cold palace, I'm afraid the Mu family didn't have the current power, she didn't know that there was such a family surnamed Mu in the capital, let alone the young lady of the Mu family?" Besides, everyone has been in the cold palace for ten years, how can you still ask them like a normal person? It's good to be able to do that. β
As soon as Mu Qingge said this, Dongyu didn't want to say anything more. The master of the family is not afraid of being looked down upon, what is she excited about as a palace maid? However, I heard Mu Qingge say that people have been in the cold palace for ten years, how can they still ask them like normal people? Winter Rain instantly thought of the haunted thing mentioned earlier. I feel more and more that Miss Chen and Xiaofu are too normal. On the contrary, it looks like there is a problem, and I can't help but think about it.
glanced at the winter snow next to her, and found that her face was even paler. Dongxue thought of it because she thought that Miss Chen and Xiaofu had lived in this courtyard ten years ago, that is to say, they had been living here when they were haunted. So, why didn't the hurting ghost do anything to them? Even they weren't frightened, and after ten years they were still normal. Could it be that the ghost is there to protect them? Or are they ghosts themselves?
Dongxue couldn't help but shiver again, it was really terrifying.
Mu Qingge didn't have time to pay attention to the attitude of the two palace maids at this time, she was thinking about it with the medicine bag. Miss Chen was obviously showing affection, from the first time she saw Miss Chen, Mu Qingge felt that this was not an easy person to get close to, and that kind of momentum could not be hidden. Therefore, Mu Qingge wanted to leave at that time. However, in the subsequent relationship, Miss Chen was unexpectedly enthusiastic. It's like I want to be friends with myself. Miss Chen has been in this cold palace for ten years, and if she wants to escape, or do something, she shouldn't have no chance at all. But why did she show favor to herself? She didn't know what the Mu family was at all, so she didn't have the meaning of pleasing zΓ i. Knowing that she is Shang Qirui's fiancΓ©e is also a later thing. Until then, she was enthusiastic.
Mu Qingge couldn't guess Miss Chen's intentions, but this medicine bag worked in the summer. In a place like the Cold Palace, there must be a lot of bugs or something. When she came, she didn't bring anything, and there were no medicinal herbs here, so she couldn't prepare a medicine bag at all. If it weren't for Miss Chen's medicine bag, Mu Qingge felt that he might really be disturbed by insects tonight.
was about to put the medicine bag on the bed, but Mu Qingge's hand suddenly froze. How did Miss Chen get this medicine bag? There are no medicinal herbs here, and of course, Miss Chen can use other means. For example, when you are sick, you can deduct a little from the medicine, or buy those subordinates and get a little in. However, these are all possible. However, it is absolutely impossible to get a lot at once. Because if Miss Chen had that ability, she wouldn't have to stay in this cold palace for a long time. After all, Dongxue they have already said that they are now in the palace. Almost no one knows about Miss Chen's deposit. Even if she runs, no one will know. But she couldn't run out, which means that she still doesn't have that ability. So, where did she get these pills from? The most important thing is that this medicine bag is very well dispensed, and now ordinary doctors outside will never be able to match such a medicine bag.
Mu Qingge thought for a moment, and suddenly began to open the medicine bag.
"Miss, what are you doing here?" Winter snow is a little cloudy.
"Miss is probably looking to see if there is anything bad in the medicine bag? It's right to be careful, and sure enough, the young lady is still careful......" Dongyu guessed.
"I just wanted to see how the kit was fitted." Mu Qingge was a little helpless about the thoughts of these two people, and those who had stayed in this palace for a long time had suspicion as their first reaction, and it was no wonder that they were.
Dongyu and Dongxue glanced at each other, and they didn't know what to say.
Mu Qingge opened the medicine bag, and sure enough, the formula inside was roughly the same as what he had just guessed. Mu Qingge had been in Li Huan's store before, and he had written a good prescription. Among them, there are also many insect repellents, and no doctor can prescribe such a magic prescription. Even, in the medical book given by Dr. He, there is no such wonderful prescription for deworming.
Moreover, there are a few medicinal herbs in it, and they are also very strange. First of all, these herbs are rarely used in Dajin. The only thing Mu Qingge had seen was when he was in the barracks, Ji Junhe had done it, and at that time, it was still copied from elsewhere. However, the effect of these herbs to repel insects is really good. Those who live in the mountains all year round know this. (To be continued.) )
