Chapter 172: The Ghost Lingers
Ruyi's eyes were full of doubt.
The cuttlefish explained, "Shen promised to live in Changchun Palace in the past, if you want to burn paper for the two of them, you can only go there, you can't be in Xianfu Palace, it will still dirty our place." ”
Ruyi hesitated, "But, what if someone finds out?" ”
"Go back after dark, nothing will happen." The cuttlefish replied lightly.
She felt a headache and fell asleep soon after.
In the middle of the night, sub-hour.
Cuttlefish and Ruyi went to the gate of Changchun Palace, quietly burned the paper money, and Shungui was on the side.
Ruyi was afraid of being discovered, so he sped up the movements in his hands, but instead scattered the paper money all over the ground.
"The eunuch who patrols the night has just walked over, we still have plenty of time, don't panic." The cuttlefish whispered a reminder of Ruyi.
Ruyi couldn't help but complain, "How can the slave not panic, once someone finds out, how do you plan to explain?" You have just reconciled with the emperor, but you can't make any other trouble. ”
The cuttlefish lowered his eyes, "It's okay, it won't be discovered." She said this, but her tone was low.
Although she and the emperor reconciled, she had a pimple in her heart, and it was difficult for the relationship between them to return to the past.
After the mirror is broken, no matter how it is repaired, there will be a crack, and the same is true for feelings.
After a few moments, the paper money was almost burned, and the cuttlefish got up and was about to go back.
At this time, the vermilion gate of Changchun Palace was suddenly opened, and a stocky female figure walked out.
The cuttlefish and Ruyi were both surprised.
If you look closely, the person in front of you is the sea ever. She was dressed in obscene clothes and pants, her hair was messy, and she was obviously ready to sleep.
"You're burning paper here?" Hai Chang asked as he stared at the cuttlefish. Her face was a little pale in the moonlight.
The cuttlefish calmed down. replied confidently, "Hai Chang is here and sound, what are you doing this big night without sleeping and running out?" ”
Hai Chang crossed his arms and snorted lightly, "You are sneaky in front of the gate of Changchun Palace, and the concubines naturally want to come out to take a look, I don't know why Concubine Qian wants to burn paper here." ”
Changchun Palace is her dormitory. So she didn't have the slightest timidity when she spoke.
Hai Chang was originally out of a small solution. But she accidentally saw the light of the fire through the crack in the door, so she came to investigate, and she had been looking through the crack in the door for a while. I saw clearly what the cuttlefish and Ruyi were doing.
Hai Chang continued, "Do you know that paper money is not allowed to be burned in the palace? Could it be that you can ignore the palace rules just because you are favored? ”
The cuttlefish thought for a moment, glanced at her disdainfully, and sighed. "What do you know?" Recently, there have been rumors that the palace is haunted, and several palace maids have said that they saw Shen in front of the gate of Changchun Palace. Although this palace has never done anything bad and is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door, when I remember that I had offended the Shen family before, I was still a little relieved, so I came here to burn some paper. After all, Bengong is now pregnant, and you have to be careful every time. ”
Ruyi looked at the cuttlefish in a daze, not knowing what she was talking about.
When was the palace haunted. She had never heard of such a thing.
It wasn't until the cuttlefish glared at Ruyi meaningfully that Ruyi reacted. It turned out to be a deception.
Ruyi pretended to be scared and whispered, "That's right, the sea is always there, you have to be careful, don't go out of the house in the middle of the night, don't see things you shouldn't see." ”
Hai Changzai's face was shocked, and she shuddered unconsciously, "The ghost of Shen promised is still in the palace?" ”
The cuttlefish and wishful thinking nodded in unison.
The cuttlefish lowered his voice, "The sea is always there, you must be careful, I heard that she is often near the Changchun Palace, maybe she is reluctant to leave." ”
After that, Ruyi took the cuttlefish's arm and walked back to Xianfu Palace.
After going back, Ruyi couldn't help but smile and laughed loudly, "Master, did you see Hai Changzai's expression, she must have believed your words, and she must be very scared now." ”
The cuttlefish smiled, "Who told her to be nosy, not to sleep well in the middle of the night, but to come out to find fault, it's really a panic." ”
Soon, Shungui returned.
He jumped to his feet with joy and told the cuttlefish and Ruyi what he had just seen.
"The slave saw that Hai Changzai also went to the door to burn the paper money, and she muttered while burning it, saying that she had stolen what Shen promised before, begging Shen to forgive her, and said that Shen promised not to come to her."
Ruyi was very surprised, "She still steals other people's things?" How many adults are there, I really don't know how to be ashamed. ”
The cuttlefish walked to the bed, laid out the futon, and hoped for a good night's sleep. After she went to bed, she instructed Ruyi to put out all the candles, and then fell asleep.
The next day, the cuttlefish woke up and felt in good spirits, and last night she didn't dream that Dr. Wen was burning paper money.
During breakfast, Ruyi came over mysteriously and said, "Master, now the palace is rumoring about the Shen family's ghost. ”
The cuttlefish swallowed the millet porridge in its mouth, "What? Where is there such a thing as a ghost? It couldn't be that Hai Chang was telling us about our conversation last night. ”
"That's pretty much what Hai Chang is saying." Ruyi shrugged helplessly and replied, "But she shouldn't have told you, after all, she also burned paper money last night, so she probably wouldn't be stupid enough to expose herself." ”
The cuttlefish frowned and pondered for a moment, the more she thought about it, the more angry she felt, it was definitely Hai Chang who said it in that big mouth!
If such an inconsequential matter reaches the ears of the emperor, then he will definitely lose his temper.
The cuttlefish commanded, "If someone asks about this, you will say that you don't know at all, don't let these nonsense things have anything to do with our Xianfu Palace, I don't care what Hai Chang wants to do, as long as it doesn't involve us." ”
Ruyi nodded in response, "The slave knows that as long as we don't mention last night's incident, even if Hai Chang insists on saying it, it won't be on our heads, she has always liked to talk nonsense, and it is estimated that few people will believe her words." ”
Cuttlefish didn't expect that a lie she made up casually last night in order to get away would really be passed out, and now everyone in the palace knows that Shen Xu's ghost often haunts the vicinity of Changchun Palace, and even people have to walk around when they pass by.
In less than half a day, even the emperor heard about it, and the emperor naturally didn't want to believe this kind of unjust soul, and he specially ordered that the palace strictly prohibit talking about this matter, and the violator deducted a month's money.
The more the emperor did this, the more it was considered that he was trying to cover up, which made people believe in it even more.
At this time, in the Chuxiu Palace, Li Changzai was scolding, "Everyone is dead, but they still refuse to stop, and they have to stay in this harem as a ghost, it's really unlucky!" ”
Although she scolded fiercely, people didn't dare to take half a step out of Chuxiu Palace, for fear of bumping into Shen's ghost. (To be continued.) )
