Chapter 426

Taishi Pang said some things about Qige back then, which made everyone feel a lot of doubts, especially when the Empress Dowager mentioned that Zhao Pu was frightened by the ghost of Qige when he was a child, which made everyone feel unbelievable - what kind of ghost can scare Zhao Pu?

Gongsun suddenly asked the imperial concubine curiously, "What was Zhao Pu like when he was scared?" ”

The Empress Dowager was slightly stunned, and then asked with a smile, "Mr. refers to Zelan's reaction after being frightened?" ”

Gongsun nodded.

"Hmm." The concubine really thought about it seriously and said, "It's not easy to scare Zelan, I have the impression that he was scared twice." It's fun to be scared, kicking things, and then swearing with Ouyang. ”

Gongsun blinked, "He was scared with Ouyang?" ”

"The Four Seas Hall was there with the five of them that time." The Empress Dowager covered her mouth, "When I came back, my little face was green, but I was only a teenager at that time." ”

"Temple of the Four Seas?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

Bai Yutang was even more curious, "The five of them are scared?" ”

The concubine nodded, "Yes! ”

Seeing that everyone was puzzled by the Four Seas Palace, the Eighth Prince said, "The Four Seas Hall is an abandoned palace, west of the palace, just behind the Furong Garden, the Furong Garden and the Four Seas Hall are sealed together, and high walls have been built around it, and no one has entered it for more than ten years." ”

Zhan Zhao seemed to remember, "Oh! I said that the wall on the west side of the Imperial Garden is recessed, and I still think about what kind of structure, dare to love the wall? ”

Taishi nodded, "There is an evil gate in the west of the palace, especially in that area, which is separated from the palace. I used to see the Venerable Master Youming, a famous feng shui master, and he said that there were indeed some problems with feng shui in that place, and the evil qi was too heavy. ”

"Angry?" Gongsun also has a study of feng shui, the Venerable Youming is a master of Taoism, proficient in feng shui and Zhou Yi gossip, and he is also very important in the rivers and lakes, and he will not talk nonsense, but ......

"How could the palace build a courtyard in such a place where the evil spirit is so heavy?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.

"This palace is left earlier, the past dynasties have experienced several major chaos, each dynasty has to have something, plus the terrain is low and gloomy, approaching is a gust of cloudy wind." After all, the eighth prince also grew up in the palace when he was young, and he was deeply impressed by this palace, "Now it is blocked by a wall, so it is not so scary, I didn't have a wall when I was a child, and the building was eerie from a distance!" ”

The Empress Dowager also nodded and said, "When I was young, I heard some old people in the palace say that that the place was not good, and I used to make a cold palace with four wells. The previous dynasty was chaotic, and the change of dynasty was too frequent, and every time something happened, a large number of palace maids and eunuchs were afraid of being caught, so they committed suicide directly by throwing themselves into the well.

"How many people believe in this kind of thing?" Bai Yutang didn't seem to think so, "Someone is pretending to be a ghost, right?" ”

"Zelan thought so when he was a child, and he didn't believe in evil, so he ran in with a group of brothers to play, isn't it scary."

The eighth prince also nodded, "I was not at ease at that time, I wanted to find someone to demolish that building and never suffer in the future, but Master Weichen suggested keeping it and sealing it." ”

The crowd was amazed.

Tianzun asked, "Is it the idea of the dust to seal it?" ”

The eighth prince nodded, "Master Weichen said that everything in the world has a cause and effect, although the haunted house is heavy, but the palace is originally the place with the heaviest evil, leaving that building can still block evil, and all the things that are not clean gather here, but they don't come out to harm people, isn't it good." Existence is cause and effect, let it be. ”

Yin Hou and Tianzun raised their eyebrows - the great monk was mysterious again.

"Is the emperor going to investigate this time the Furong Garden or the Four Seas Palace?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Gongsun was also curious, "Didn't they all have peace and quiet earlier, why did you suddenly mention it now?" ”

Master Pang frowned, lowered his voice and said, "Something has happened!" At the end of last year, there were a few maids and eunuchs in the palace, idle and playing tricks. ”

Everyone was puzzled, "Trick? ”

"Hey." The imperial concubine sighed, "There are not many concubines in the emperor's harem, but there are many maids. But after Concubine Pang became a mother in the past two years, her human nature has been a lot more tolerant, and her temper has improved. ”

Taishi also nodded on the side, "It's a lot gentler than before." ”

"The Queen Mother has no mind when she is old, and the other concubines are all docile." The imperial concubine was helpless, "There is nothing wrong in this palace, after all, the maids and maids are not very old, and the children are temperamental, so they began to play around, and finally got into trouble." ”

Everyone said in their hearts, what kind of trouble can a group of little eunuchs and little maids play?

"Are they too idle to go into a haunted house?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Taishi smiled bitterly, "Yo, Zhan Guard, do you think they are all flying on the wall like you?" Those children also gamble and gossip. ”

The crowd couldn't figure out what the connection was.

"But a few of the brave ones played something they shouldn't play." Taishi said, "To be more detailed, it was made by the girl in Concubine Qiong's palace." There was a maid named Yan Cui'er in it, Concubine Qiong's personal maid, who lost an earring. This pair of earrings was given to her by Concubine Qiong, which is quite valuable, and it is a pity to lose one. Yan Cuier remembered that day that she was wearing out of the house, and then she was busy moving things, and she might have lost it in and out, and a group of maids couldn't find it in the palace, so she didn't know who came up with the idea, saying that she was asking the goblin. ”

The crowd looked at each other.

The fourth son asked his grandson curiously, "Daddy, what is a goblin?" ”

"Well, a kind of fairy in the legend, formed after the death of flowers and plants on the ground, summons goblins to help find everything that is lost on the ground." After Gongsun finished speaking, he emphasized to the stunned crowd, "It's just a legend, no one has seen it at all." ”

"Those maids summoned goblins, who knew that something was summoned!" Taishi shook his head, "They are also half-serious and half-joking, who knows that Lu Dao mispronounced the mantra, guess who they summoned out?" ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Bai Yutang didn't quite know what it meant to summon, "Summoned?" ”

"Is it the psychic that has been put on the body?" The Taishi God mysteriously said, "Seven songs! They called out the Seven Songs! ”

Everyone was stunned.

Zhan Zhao couldn't cry or laugh, "Is someone playing a prank?" ”

Gongsun also nodded, and by the way, he gently patted the ostrich-like little fourth son in his arms who was covering his ears.

"A few maids held hands to play psychics, and they woke up the ghost of Qige in a daze." Taishi summed it up, "The key is what Qige said. ”

"What did she say?"

"The seven songs are Yan Cuier's body, she said that she was killed back then, and the person who killed her is still in the palace." Taishi raised his eyebrows.

Everyone frowned.

Bai Yutang thought for a while, "Could it be that Yan Cuier knows about the Seven Songs, so she pretends to say it by mistake, and wants people to avenge the Seven Songs?" ”

Taishi waved his hand slightly, "Don't worry, it's not over yet." ”

Everyone frowned and listened to the follow-up.

"Those maids said that Yan Cui'er's eyes and voice changed when she spoke." Taishi continued, "Qige seems to be very resentful, and she said that if she does not find her murderer, she will curse the whole palace to be at peace, and the first curse is Xiangxiang. ”

Everyone heard the chill on the back of their necks - isn't this Zhao Zhen's life?

Pang Yu jumped up on the ground. "Who is she cursing? The master first cursed her soul to the Taoist priest, believe it or not! ”

"Hey......" Taishi waved his hand and signaled Pang Yu not to worry, "This thing is outrageous and not worth believing, but aren't you worried?" ”

Pang Yu was also a little hairy when he heard this, "Why is this female ghost like this?" ”

"Didn't she say who killed her?" Bai Yutang asked.

"She herself doesn't know what to do, she only says that the clue to her murderer is in the Temple of the Four Seas." Master Pang said, "After speaking, she left Yan Cui'er's body, Cui'er was seriously ill after that, and after several imperial doctors' diagnosis and treatment, she finally saved her life, but she didn't remember what happened that night, but there was a very strange thing." ”

Everyone looked at the Taishi, "This is not weird enough?" What's even weirder? ”

"Cui'er was psychic until she was sick, and she only had one earring on her ear, didn't she lose the other one?" Taishi asked.

Everyone nodded, isn't that what kind of goblin the girl is looking for to find earrings?

Nangong sent effective guards to protect her safety, and the palace was heavily guarded, but the next morning...... She has two earrings on her ears. Taishi raised his eyebrows, "The other one is back." ”

Everyone was stunned.

The little four sons are about to get into the squeaky nest of the grandson, and their little faces are pale.

Xiao Liangzi also heard a pair of eyes wide open, "How did the earrings go back?" ”

Taishi stretched out his hands, "No one knows what to do." ”

"It's been more than half a year since that happened." Zhan Zhao counted the days, "There is no fulfillment." ”

"Fortunately, it is true that it has not been fulfilled, and there is nothing to do, but the failure to fulfill does not mean that there is no accident...... Taishi said this, quite worried, "Xiangxiang has almost had an accident once a month in the past few months. ”

"What's wrong?" Pang Yu's heart and liver are hanging, this niece is his life.

"At the beginning of this year, Xiangxiang stood by the pond and fed the carp with the emperor, and suddenly fell into the lotus pond. Fortunately, the emperor caught it quickly, and it was a mess. The emperor asked Xiangxiang what was wrong, and Xiangxiang rubbed her back and said, 'Push push'. "Taishi said.

Pang Yu's eyes widened, "Someone pushed her?" ”

Taishi nodded, "The emperor is beside her, surrounded by Da Nei masters, and there are two eunuchs standing behind her, it is impossible for anyone within a radius of one mile to approach!" ”

Tianzun touched his chin, "This is really strange. ”

"In early spring, my daughter and the Queen Mother were measuring and making clothes for Xiangxiang in the yard, and suddenly a glazed tile on the house fell down and went straight to Xiangxiang's head, but fortunately, Father-in-law Liu caught the tile." Taishi sighed, "Gonggong Liu immediately went to the roof, but he was sure that there should be no one at that time, and the shadow guards didn't find anyone at all. But that glazed tile was originally good, and there was no reason for it to fall. ”

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other, Gonggong Liu was the personal eunuch of the Queen Mother, and the old man's kung fu was not ordinarily good, it was impossible for someone to approach silently, and he and the shadow guards didn't notice it at all.

"Just the other day, something happened again." Taishi continued, "That day, Xiangxiang was learning calligraphy with Master Liang, and the emperor was just free, watching Xiangxiang's calligraphy on the side." Originally, Xiangxiang was very well described, but suddenly stopped writing and was in a daze. ”

"Tired, aren't you?" Gongsun asked, "When the fourth son used to learn calligraphy, he was also drawing calligraphy, and suddenly he fell asleep when he was tired. ”

"The emperor also thought that Xiangxiang was asleep." Taishi said, "But at this time, Xiangxiang suddenly wrote the words 'Seven Songs' in the blank space of the paper.

Everyone gasped.

"The emperor threw away the pen in her hand at that time, and rushed out of the study with her daughter in her arms, and Master Liang was also at a loss." Taishi said, "Xiangxiang has only been learning words for a few days?" I can write a notebook, and I can't write the words Seven Songs at all. ”

Gongsun covered his mouth in shock, "What about after that?" ”

"The emperor found Lang Zhong to check Xiangxiang, she was not sick at all, Xiangxiang was also normal, she would call her mother and father, she was hungry and sleepy. The emperor found the dust master again. "Taishi is helpless," Master Bu Weichen and Gonggong Liu guarded Xiangxiang for twelve hours a day, and there were hundreds of shadow guards on the three floors inside and three layers outside the door, my daughter couldn't sleep well at night, those two big black circles! ”

"Dad, why didn't you say such a big thing earlier?" Pang Yu jumped up.

"It really wasn't anything before." Taishi was also very confused, "This one that came out in this half a month is the most outrageous!" At that time, the emperor already knew that you were on your way home, so he thought that when you came back, he could investigate the matter thoroughly, but who knew that Lu Dao suddenly became so weird. ”

Everyone was puzzled by what they heard.

Yin Hou didn't speak, but he was also puzzled, "Let Xiangxiang write the words 'Seven Songs' by hand, it's really difficult to explain." ”

"In order to appease Qige, the emperor has sent craftsmen to start demolishing the walls outside the Sihailou and Furong Garden, but the walls built back then are too thick, and it is estimated that it will take a few days to demolish. The Queen Mother also burned incense in front of the Hibiscus Garden and prayed for blessings, telling Qige that she would definitely help her find out the murderer who killed her and let her give her some time to give her some grace. ”

Speaking of this, the Grand Master sighed, "Just as the Queen Mother said this, all the candles and lanterns were suddenly extinguished...... A palace lamp lit up in the Hibiscus Garden. ”

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, this is really a haunted rhythm!

"Wait for the guards to scramble to light the candles, and guess what?" Taishi asked.

Pang Yu was about to die, "Dad, don't sell it, hurry up!" ”

"There are two words 'thirty' written in blood on the table." The Taishi replied.

"Thirty? What do you mean? Bai Yutang asked.

Taishi shook his head, "I don't know. However, when the lights went out, it happened that the Queen Mother discussed with Qige and asked her to give her a few days...... So ......"

"Is it because Qige is limited to solve the case within thirty days?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Taishi nodded, "The old man thinks so too." ”

"It's weird, too." Zhan Zhao thought it was incredible.

"I've never believed in ghosts and gods." Gongsun shook his head, "It's just ...... At that time, there were so many top masters, if it was a trick, how did it be implemented? ”

Bai Yutang felt that this was not the point, "Qige's threat to Xiangxiang is indeed unforgivable, but her request is not too unreasonable." “

Everyone nodded-Qige, whether it was really a ghost asking for his life or someone pretending to be a ghost, the purpose was to find out the mysterious murder case in the palace twelve years ago, and after finding out, wouldn't the truth be revealed? Her resentment was lifted, and Xiangxiang was naturally not in danger. And if the murderer is really still in the palace, it's hard to guarantee that he is not a dangerous person.

"If you want to investigate the case, you must first determine the cause of Qige's death." Gongsun asked Taishi, "Where is her body buried?" ”

Taishi shook his head, "Seven songs are cremated. ”

"What?" Zhanzhao frowned, "Why cremation?" ”

"She died unexplained at the time, and the people in the palace were afraid that there was some strange disease, and she had no family, so she was cremated as usual." The Taishi replied.

"Where's the ashes?" Gongsun's eyes lit up, "Where is it?" ”

"Uh...... Buried at the foot of the green hills. The master asked, "Sir, ash is also useful?" ”

Gongsun stood up, "I can find out how she died!" After speaking, he took the shadow guard and went to dig up the ashes.

Everyone silently looked at Gongsun's back, and always felt a little strange - is it an illusion? It seems that Mr. Gongsun is more thoughtful about this case than about other cases.

The Queen Mother smiled slightly, nodded and drank tea.

Zhan Zhao also stood up, said goodbye to the eight kings of the Taishi, and dragged Bai Yutang out.

Out of the door, Bai Yutang asked Zhanzhao, "Where are you going?" ”

Zhan Zhao smiled, "Naturally, go and see that Hibiscus Garden and Sihai Tower!" ”

The two walked out for a while, and when they turned around, they saw Yin Hou and Tianzun following behind, as well as Bao Yan Pang Yu, as well as Xiao Liangzi and Xiao Sizi holding hands, as well as Xiao Wu who was like a fart and Mi Mi who was passing overhead.

Zhan Zhao took a deep breath, "Oh, why are you here to investigate the case?" ”

Everyone looks up to the sky - and we are curious.

Bai Yutang looked at the man hovering in the air, and he was also a little weak.

In the palace, Taishi Pang ran out, "Let's go together, the emperor was talking just now, I want to take a look at the white dragon." ”

Helpless, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had no choice but to "help the old and the young", and then brought two unreliable pets into the palace.
