Ruliu thought for a while and said: "When the slave maid was at home before, I heard that the black cat was more evil than other cats, and the Persian cat that died under the master's chair, although it was originally white, but when it died, its whole body was black, even the hair was no exception, and the death was terrifying. Speaking of this, Ruliu herself also had goosebumps, but she still finished the rest of the sentence, "Could it be that it died unwillingly, so it became entangled with the master?" ”

Shu Mulu suddenly clenched the brocade quilt, and his face was a little unpleasant, "You mean the ghost is haunting?" ”

"Yes, otherwise how could the master always think of it for no reason and have nightmares?" The more Ruliu thought about it, the more frightened she became, so she hurriedly went to light all the lights that had been extinguished before, so that the room was full of light, otherwise in that kind of darkness, she would always have the illusion that a ghost would run out at any time.

Seeing that Shu Mulu didn't speak, she whispered: "Master, why don't we ask someone to do a ritual to overtake it, so that it won't keep pestering the master." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, Shu Mulu had already suddenly looked over, and that gloomy gaze was like a trembling in the willow heart, "What's wrong with the master?" ”

"If someone else had said this, I would have thought he was trying to harm me. What kind of place should you be, can monks and Taoists enter the palace with intentions? People outside the harem are not allowed to enter the palace unless the emperor's order, do you want me to learn from Concubine Xi's fake holy decree, or do you want me to tell the emperor that I am suspected of being entangled by the cat spirit, so I want to invite someone to overdo it? Didn't you send the handle yourself to Concubine Xi to catch it? ”

This series of questions made Ruliu speechless, and at the same time, he realized that what he said just now was too hasty, and bowed his head and said: "The slave and maid are speechless, please ask the master to confess." ”

Seeing her like this, Shu Mulu sighed and said slowly: "I know that you are worried about me, but you must remember that the palace is no better than the outside, you have to be careful in everything you say and do, and you must not make mistakes." ”

"The slave knows the way." Responding like this, Ruliu suddenly looked at Shu Mulu and said: "Listening to the master's words now, and then thinking of the scene when the slave maid first saw the master, the change is really great, if it weren't for the slave and maid who have been following the master, I can't believe that it is the same." ”

Thinking back to his former self, Shu Mulu felt like he was looking at others, with an indescribable strangeness, and asked compassionately: "Then which one do you think I am better?" ”

Ruliu thought for a long time before saying: "The slave maid thinks that it is useless or not, but there is no doubt that the current master is more suitable for survival in the harem, if the master is still the previous xingzi, I am only afraid of ......"

"I'm afraid I'm already dead and there's no place to bury, right?" For Shu Mulu's words, Ruliu didn't nod or shake her head, and after a while, she said worriedly: "Since you can't ask someone to overdo it, what should you do if the master is always entangled by the cat spirit?" If this continues, won't the master be able to sleep at night? ”

"Cat Spirit!" Shu Mulu slowly spat out these two words, her eyes flashed with coldness, and after a while, she suddenly lifted the quilt and got out of bed, and took out a delicate dagger encrusted with gems from under the red sandalwood cabinet behind the bed.

Seeing the dagger in Shu Mulu's hand, Ruliu was shocked, and hurriedly ran over and pressed her hand and said, "Master, what are you going to do?" ”

Shu Mulu gestured to Ruliu to let go of his hand, and then held the handle of the dagger and pulled it out of the scabbard, looking at the sharp blade of Xueliang, the fierce light gradually appeared in his eyes, "Whether it is a cat spirit or an evil spirit, in the final analysis, they are all things that cannot be seen, and they can't be on the real table, if I invite the mage to come, it means that I am afraid of them, and it will only make them more arrogant." ”

Ruliu said uneasily: "But who can subdue these things except the mage." ”

Shu Mulu sneered and put the dagger under the pillow, "Queen, Concubine Xi, Concubine Qian, none of these people want me to die wholeheartedly, but I am not alive and well, I don't believe that a dead cat evil spirit can help me." If it comes again, I'll kill it again!" ”

Ruliu glanced around, and said uneasily: "Isn't the master afraid?" ”

"I'm afraid." Shu Mulu's answer made Ruliu puzzled, she was afraid, why did she say that she would kill again, if she was to be replaced, she should be avoided.

"I'm afraid, but I can't be afraid. Now it's just a dead cat, and if I'm so scared that I can't sleep, and I can't eat, what will happen to people who die in the future? Besides, as a noble man, a woman of the Son of Heaven, I don't believe that those evil people dare to hurt me! Saying this, Shu Mulu went to bed and lay down, stretched out his hand tremblingly under the pillow to hold the dagger, and said word by word: "I am going to decide the lives of Concubine Xi and Concubine Qian, so I must not be afraid!" ”

These words were not so much for Ruliu as for herself, and she forced herself to put away all her fears and vacillations.

From the moment she drugged Yinzhen, she had already embarked on a road of no return, she couldn't turn back, she couldn't regret it, she could only go all the way, being afraid would only slow her pace, so she must not be afraid!

However, she put the dagger under the pillow, not just to strengthen the courage, since ancient times, the blade has the effect of suppressing evil, so that the ghosts and gods dare not approach easily, although this dagger is not a heirloom, but when Yinzhen gave her a reward before, she was curious for a moment and tried the sharpness of the dagger, blowing hair and breaking hair.

I don't know if the evil was afraid of the dagger, or if there was no evil at all, but Shu Mulu was weak and afraid, and he really didn't have any more nightmares in the middle of the night.

Early the next morning, after Shu Mulu's freshened up, he led Ruliu to Yongshou Palace, and the palace people who were guarding outside saw her coming, they were all surprised, what is the relationship between their own master and him, they know in their hearts, they don't communicate at all on weekdays, how can a Hui noble person come over today.

Surprised, surprised, the ceremony still has to be done, the two glanced at each other, and went up to fight a thousand, "The minions have seen the Hui nobles." ”

Shu Mulu nodded and said, "Go in and spread the word, just say that I have something to ask to see Concubine Qian, and ask Niangniang to see her face." ”

"Huh." The palace people agreed, and one of them walked quickly to the palace and told the Liu family, who was teasing the sixth elder brother, about the incident.

As soon as he heard Shu Mulu's name, Liu immediately frowned, and said puzzledly: "What is she doing here?" ”

Haitang said on the side: "Will it be here to demonstrate to the master, Dai Jia's family was abolished, and only she and the Wu family are left in Jingren Palace, if the emperor wants to choose one person to be the lord of Jingren Palace, she must be." ”

Before Liu could speak, Jin Gu had already shook her head and said: "There is not even a shadow in this matter, what kind of authority did she come to show, besides, I think Hui Guiren is not such a flamboyant person, there should be other reasons." ”
