A drop of water is like a crisis, and a drop of water is like a rumor, and a drop is enough to break the balance that is difficult to maintain at the moment, and let the situation develop towards an uncontrollable situation.

The rooster crowed three times, and the whole Jinle Palace was still immersed in the peace and tranquility of last night, and a little eunuch who had just been on duty at night was yawning and unblocking the curfew; As soon as the door of the vermilion lacquer hall was half a large slit, a chilling cold wind rushed in from outside.

A little trembling, the little eunuch's confused eyes looked out through the crack in the door, and suddenly a faint red shadow flashed quickly in front of him! A sobering spirit rushed by, and the little eunuch's sleepiness disappeared without a trace, and was invisibly replaced by a terrifying coldness.

What is it?! The first reaction in his mind was this curiosity with a sense of horror, and the little eunuch was also bold, and hurriedly opened the door of the palace and chased out.

In the early morning of late autumn, the fog and dew were heavy, and the speed of the flashing "things" was extremely fast, which invisibly reduced the little eunuch's ability to identify a lot. Biting his lip, the little eunuch wandered through the courtyard of the deep palace, carefully searching for the traces of the shadow just now; I don't know if it was too evil this morning, and I didn't even see a palace person or palace guard along the way, and the tension in the little eunuch's heart suddenly climbed a lot.

The sneaky "thing" of the red shadow was very strange, as if it was playing hide and seek with the little eunuch, and always kept a distance from him in the fog; Several times, the apprehensive little eunuch thought that he had lost it, but it ghostly appeared in the distant field of vision, one moment at the corner of the corridor, one moment behind the rockery, and one moment on the eaves of the temple erratic. It's hard to fathom.

And in the tension, he gradually got used to it, and the little eunuch also faintly felt that this "ghost thing" seemed to be deliberately teasing himself and going somewhere.

When the older generation of palace people have nothing to do on weekdays. Always make jokes about weird things. They say that this palace looks magnificent and splendid on the surface, but after several generations of kings, how can there not be one or two resentful souls in this deep palace compound? On some special days, when the resentment is particularly heavy, these dirty things hidden in the invisible place will come out and vent the resentment that has accumulated in your heart for a long time.

Weird anecdotes like that. The little eunuch is just a pleasure to relieve boredom on weekdays, and he forgets it after hearing it; But now I have encountered it myself, although I am afraid in my heart. But the footsteps never stopped for a moment. It is probably the boredom in this palace day after day that has created the curiosity of these humble palace people, and they have a heart to get to the bottom of everything.

After going around for a while, the red shadow appeared in a corner of the palace wall. And he was never to be seen again. The little eunuch walked around the wisteria corridor outside the palace wall. Finally, he stopped the heart to continue exploring, wiped the fine sweat on his forehead and walked back suspiciously.

But as soon as I passed by the gate of the palace where the vermilion paint was peeling, a cry sounded in my ears! The creepy feeling was like putting a block of ice in the inner lining, and the little eunuch with a stiff face suddenly trembled all over.

Is it a cry?! Unable to believe what he had heard, the little eunuch asked himself with a flustered expression, and the intermittent cry floating in his ears silently reminded him that he was not hallucinating.

The thorns were on his back, and cold sweat broke out. The little eunuch didn't know what kind of Ecstasy Pill he had eaten at that time, but he still had the courage to look back at the place where the cry came from! And that's that look. Finally let the little eunuch see clearly what the "thing" he had been looking for before!!

On the cornices a few feet away, a woman with a cloak of hair sat there, her bright red skirt slowly fluttering in the white mist; Her whimpering cry was bitter and bitter, and the resentment that had accumulated in her heart like a cuckoo's cry of blood continued to grow the fear in the little eunuch's heart.

And in a panic, his eyes suddenly fell on the door plaque of this strange palace, and the three big characters of gold lacquer suddenly pierced the last heart defense of the little eunuch!

Hall of Stars.

Realizing something in a flash of light, the pupils of the lost little eunuch's big eyes like cowbells shrank suddenly, and he suddenly raised his throat and howled, and fled with his legs

At this time, in front of the gate of Jinle Palace, there was also a stagnant tension at this time. More than a dozen palace people gathered together, forming a small circle in front of the door of the princess's dormitory, looking at the different expressions of the people in Jinle Palace, it seemed that something terrible was happening in front of them.

In the center of the circle, a wooden box wrapped in a strip of bright red silk lies quietly on the floor tiles carved by Yunfeng; The two colors of red and white are commensurate, making this wooden box look particularly eye-catching in the eyes of everyone, but no one dares to step forward to check what is inside.

At this time, the old palace people who served the princess Jie Yi arrived, and when he saw the wooden box wrapped in red silk on the ground, his eyelids couldn't help but jump, and he hurriedly asked these palace people who were gathered in a group.

"Who sent this box, can anyone see it?!"

As soon as Le Yi asked, the audience on the field was even more silent, and no one could answer this question. After sweeping everyone's reactions, Le Yi also sensed the trickiness of the matter, but at the moment, he couldn't let this wooden box of unknown origin be placed here all the time, and the old man also had the courage to step forward to explore what was inside.

Although I am not afraid that it is fake, I can see one or two from Le Yi's trembling old hands, who knows what is inside? The foreboding made everyone on the field feel in danger, and the circle around them unconsciously expanded a lot.

Untied the wrapped red silk, Le Yidan stared at the black wooden box in front of him, and could clearly hear his breathing sound intensifying; But the arrow had to be fired, even if there was a man-eating demon inside, they had to get rid of it.

With trembling hands, he pinched the button on the wooden box, and as soon as Le Yi closed his eyes, the wooden box was uncovered.

There was no heaven and earth cracking, no shouting, and the princess suddenly fell into a dead silence for no reason; Le Yi, who waited for a short time in fear, slowly realized that this so-called deep coldness is even more terrifying!

Slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw the things in the wooden box, Le Yi suddenly sat on the ground with a dead face, stupid.

There were no man-eating ghosts, no biting snakes, no deadly gunpowder, only a pile full of dazzling "gold, silver and jewelry". And these gold, silver, and jewels, all made of tin foil, are horrific to be burned for the dead!

This thing has always been a taboo in the palace! Appearing in front of the princess's bedroom at this time, the deep meaning inside is naturally self-evident, and a bunch of onlookers in the palace have long been frightened, where is there still the courage to shout. (To be continued......)
