Chapter 181: The Female Ghost in White
Ru Xuan chatted with Qingguo for a while, and walked to Lening Palace very late, but she was a little lost along the way.
said that she didn't care, but Qiaohui's reaction still affected her mood and made her a little sad.
It's like people who have been together for a long time, and they are like sisters, so they have become enemies step by step.
Ru Xuan's heart was suddenly a little blocked.
I wanted to talk to Shiqi and relieve the boredom in my heart, but Shiqi said that he had just come back and would be busy, and if he was free, he would come to Ru Xuan.
In desperation, Ru Xuan had no choice but to go back to the small Buddha hall and continue to copy the scriptures.
At this time, it was already afternoon, and after lunch, Ru Xuan didn't feel hungry, so she was in the small Buddha hall with an empty stomach.
Copying Buddhist scriptures is the easiest way to meditate, and no matter how irritable the mind is, it can gradually calm down under every stroke.
Therefore, after transcribing a few lines, Ru Xuan felt that her bored heart gradually calmed down and gradually integrated into the matter at hand.
I sat for an afternoon, and I didn't know it.
When Ru Xuan dried the ink stains on the last page and rubbed her sore wrists, she found that the sun was already sinking a little westward.
So fast, another day has passed.
Ru Xuan propped her head with her arms and glanced at the Buddha statue next to her.
Buddha, sitting here every day, do you feel that time flies and every day is boring?
Ru Xuan thought about eating.
The days have been unusually peaceful, Ru Xuan is a little depressed, she doesn't go out much, and Shiqi seems to be very busy these days, and she hasn't come to him.
It's just that the dark soul who came to him last time sent things and notes a few times.
Things are just food, and the notes are very simple, just greetings and other words.
It's just a few words, but every word expresses concern.
Although this move is not surprising, such a small move is also very heartwarming for Ru Xuan.
At noon on this day, Ru Xuan was resting in the house with lunch, and suddenly heard a whispering sound outside the window.
The sound came from the north-facing window, and under the north-facing window was a flower garden with all kinds of flowers and plants, and it seemed that the palace maids who were tending to the flowers and plants were doing their work and chatting.
Ru Xuan had nothing to do, so she simply approached the window and listened to the corner once.
"Well, have you heard?" A palace maid with a slightly thicker voice asked.
"What did you hear?" Another soft voice replied in surprise.
"That's it, haunted again!" The rough voice said again.
"Why haven't I heard of it, I heard that someone saw it with their own eyes, it was a female ghost in white, with a cloak and a bloody face, which was terrifying......" said in a soft and glutinous voice.
"You guys, don't you work hard, what are you chewing on the root of your tongue? Be careful, I told Mama Yan and pulled you to play the board! Suddenly, someone shouted.
The coarse and soft voices disappeared suddenly.
Only the sound of what appeared to be digging and weeding followed.
Ru Xuan straightened up.
Female ghosts?
Is that the one you see......
It didn't sound like she'd be the only one who had seen it.
But that night, Ru Xuan clearly saw that the person had a shadow in the firelight, and it should be a human, not a ghost.
Since it's a human, how can there be rumors of a female ghost with a bloody face?
Ru Xuan's doubts were too serious, and the ghost sent her out of the room.
All the way out of the gate of Lening Palace, Ru Xuan came directly to the place where she saw the female ghost in white that day, oh no, it was the place where the woman in white haunted.
Walking through the layers of low wood and trees, Ru Xuan walked straight to the clearing where there had been firelight and human figures.
This clearing is not large, about fifteen or sixteen square meters, and almost all of the surrounding trees are tall and low, and this one, for some reason, has no grass.
What's even more surprising is that this place, with a hint of coldness, is intimidating.
Ru Xuan stood here, Rao was constantly comforting herself, but she was also a little timid.
Looking around, she didn't find anything, and Ru Xuan was a little puzzled.
That fire, that person, could it be that it only appears at night?
With questions, Ru Xuan planned to go back first, and wait for one day to make an appointment with Shiqi to see what was going on.
Having made up her mind, Ru Xuan turned around and prepared to leave.
"You're here." A female voice remembered faintly behind Ru Xuan, her voice low with a slight trill.
Ru Xuan turned her head and was startled when she saw a person dressed in white, with a cloak that covered most of her face, standing in front of her.
"You, who are you." Ru Xuan subconsciously took two steps back and clenched her fists.
"Don't be afraid, I'm a human, not a ghost." The woman in white tucked her loose hair back, revealing her face.
The skin is fair, like clotted fat, without powder, the facial features are delicate and small, it can be said that she is fresh and pretty, and she is a rare beauty.
Born such a beautiful person, who is she in this place?
"Who are you?" Ru Xuan asked again, but this time her voice was much calmer, and there was no longer a trill.
"I, my name is Gu Siling, just call me Siling." The woman in white smiled, smiling like a flower.
"Oh." Ru Xuan replied a little distractedly.
Siling, Gu Siling, I have never heard of this person, why is she here?
Moreover, as soon as she is dressed in white, isn't she afraid of committing taboos?
"Siling, my name is Ru Xuan, and I work as an errand in Lening Palace." Ru Xuan smiled and said, "Which palace are you from?" ”
"Lening Palace?" Gu Siling tilted her head slightly, and said with a smile: "Then you are serving the Queen Mother?" ”
"Hmm." Ru Xuan nodded and said, "Exactly, I copied the Buddhist scriptures for the Queen Mother, what about you?" ”
The other party didn't answer her question, and Ru Xuan asked again.
"Me?" Gu Siling blinked, hooked her lips and smiled: "You are doing things in the Empress Dowager's Palace, don't you know that next to Lening Palace, there is also a palace called Hundred Flowers Valley?" ”
Valley of Flowers?
Ru Xuan hadn't heard that there was such a palace in the harem, let alone such a place.
Moreover, the Valley of Hundred Flowers sounds more like the name of a valley or a gang, not at all like the name of the residence of the harem concubines.
Ru Xuan shook her head, saying that she didn't know such a palace as Hundred Flowers Valley.
"Valley of Hundred Flowers? Where? Ru Xuan asked in surprise.
"Right here, this is the Valley of Hundred Flowers, my palace, I am Gu Shuyi of the Valley of Hundred Flowers." Gu Siling said with a smile.
The surprise on Ru Xuan's face suddenly became several times thicker.
Shuyi, who belongs to the first class of concubines, is second only to the concubine, which can be said to be very noble.
In front of her, Gu Siling, who was dressed in a white cotton shirt and was alone, actually said that she was Gu Shuyi, and this open space was her palace, Hundred Flowers Valley.
This...... It's just weird. R1152
