Huanhuan didn't think about it anymore, but he didn't let his guard down either.

After pondering to no avail, she touched her sideburns with her hand and glanced at Ling'er, "Li Zerong has allowed me to move around recently, let's go to the rockery garden to have a look, I heard that there is an underground spring there, sweet and clear, let's bring a copper kettle to fetch some water to make tea." ”

"It's better not to move around, if you meet the princess, you will inevitably be angry." Ling'er didn't want Huanhuan to go out of the side courtyard to the rockery garden that was very close to the main courtyard, "Why don't you ask Mo Niang to fetch some spring water for Miss." ”

"After staying in the house for a long time, I feel depressed and want to go out for a walk." Huanhuan touched his chest and glanced at Ling'er with a painful expression.

"Okay, okay, take Mo Niang later and let her go with us." Seeing this, Ling'er had to compromise.

In the evening, a few frogs chirped in the summer, and Huanhuan was irritable when he heard it. She glanced at Ling'er, who was wrapping a small kitchen knife with strips of rags, a little impatient, "Ling'er, what are you doing here?" When I met the princess, I avoided her, and I didn't have a conflict with her. ”

"Take it, feel at ease." Ling'er neatly wrapped the strips of cloth, put them in her sleeves, looked at the sky, turned her head and said happily, "This sunset is really beautiful, and it is cool down, it is also good to go out for a walk and eliminate food." ”

Mo Niang stood behind the pair of master and servant, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and her eyes looked at the two of them lovingly. Hearing Ling'er say that it was cool now, I remembered the last time the prince asked me that this young lady couldn't be blown by the cool breeze.

Mo Niang stepped forward and reached out to pat Ling'er's shoulder, gesturing with both hands to put on a cloak.

Ling'er didn't see what it meant, and there was a pair of apricot eyes, confused.

"She said to give me a cloak, Mo Niang is worried that I will be affected by the cold wind."

Mo Niang nodded again and again, and her smile widened. Ling'er chuckled and scratched her head, "It's Mo Niang who thinks thoughtfully." ”

In the rockery garden in the evening, many things are not real.

Some rockery stones are carved very charmingly, and looking at it makes people stretch their brows and feel happy.

Ling'er rarely comes here, it can be regarded as the first time to come to this rockery garden for so long. The garden is not big, but it is better to have a good pattern, and there is a stone pavilion to shelter from the rain, which is quite ancient.

Huanhuan walked around the garden for a while, but he didn't see the small pool formed by the underground spring, so he walked into the pavilion and sat down to rest.

Ling'er sat down when she saw that she had only been gone for a while, and quipped: "Miss muttered that she wanted to come out, and she wanted to sit down after watching it for a while?" ”

"There seems to be some kind of smell mixed with this garden, especially when the wind blows, the smell seems to be even stronger." Huanhuan explained, sat in the pavilion, and looked around, "Where's Mo Niang?" Why can't you see her? ”

When Ling'er heard this, she turned around and walked a few steps to see Mo Niang, and when she saw that there was indeed no her, she was a little scared in her heart, "Miss, Mo Niang doesn't seem to have followed." ”

When Huanhuan heard this, he was so frightened that he immediately stood up, looked on tiptoe, and secretly guessed in his heart: Didn't he meet the princess and be detained?

Ling'er had the courage to go back a little, but when she saw that there was still no Mo Niang, her heart was beating faster and faster, and she didn't dare to go back anymore, so she turned around and went to find Huanhuan.

The sky was getting hazy and dark, the cool breeze was gusting, and Ling'er's nose was not as sensitive as Huanhuan's, but when she heard Huanhuan say that, she also noticed the smell of the air that seemed to be absent, like the smell of rotting livestock.

The garden was empty now, Ling'er looked around nervously, feeling more and more afraid, and hurriedly quickened her pace to meet Huanhuan.

However, when she walked around a huge rockery and looked at the stone pavilion, Huanhuan was gone.

Ling'er hurriedly turned to look around, her vision became more blurred, and the objects in her eyes began to ghost, only then did she realize that she was crying uncontrollably.

"Miss? Mo Niang? Ling'er held a kitchen knife wrapped in strips of cloth in one hand, and nervously tugged at her sleeve with the other, as if looking for a whereabouts.

And I don't know if it's out of hallucination, Ling'er always feels that she is followed by a person, secretly looking at her behind her. But when she turned around, she couldn't see anything.

"Miss? Mo Niang? Where are you? Back, back. Ling'er became even more nervous and scared as she spoke.

She felt like her tongue couldn't straighten up, goosebumps all over her body, all the senses of her body were magnified, and the slightest movement would catch her attention.

Gradually, Ling'er felt that her hand holding the kitchen knife began to shake uncontrollably, she had never been so scared.

The sky was getting darker and darker, and only a waning moon was left in the sky, shining coldly on the ground.

"Ahh

A frightened woman's cry sounded, and when Ling'er heard this voice, her consciousness was empty, trembling all over, and the kitchen knife in her hand fell in response.

Two lines of hot tears hung on her face again.

Immediately afterward, there was another miserable scream.

"Dead man!"

Ling'er returned to consciousness, and she wanted to run away, but the woman's voice she heard was the same as her young lady's timbre. So he immediately picked up the kitchen knife on the ground, tore open the strip of cloth wrapped around it with trembling hands, and stared at the source of the voice.

The blade was glowing with the cold white of the moonlight, which became the only real thing Ling'er could see at the moment.

"Miss!" Ling'er's voice trembled and choked out, "Miss! Yes、Isn't it you? ”

The voice was silent, and everything around it became strange in the dark night's cloudy vision. Ling'er waited with bated breath for this response. Another cool breeze blew, and the rancid smell invaded Ling'er's lungs, making her terrified.

Could it be... Could it be that what I just shouted was... Is it a female ghost?

Thinking of this, Ling'er couldn't calm down anymore, and the kitchen knife in her hand was frightened to the ground again, and just as she turned around to escape, a hand suddenly put on her shoulder.

Ahh

"Ling'er, why are you here?" A beautiful girl's voice sounded behind Ling'er, mixed with the obvious smell of rotting corpses.

When Ling'er heard this, she was even more frightened that her legs became weak, and she fell to the ground directly. I thought to myself: It's over, this female ghost will imitate the voice......

Another footstep sounded, as if it was approaching her, Ling'er was already in a cold sweat all over her body, and she wondered why she hadn't fainted from being scared yet.

"Ling'er?" Huanhuan looked at Ling'er, who was kneeling on the ground, her whole body trembling, and squatted down to face her, "It's me." Fang Qinniang came to look for me, so I went with her to the back of the rockery..."

When Ling'er heard Qin Niang, she immediately screamed in fright, could it be Qin Niang's ghost? Hurriedly kowtowed and begged for mercy.

"Qin Niang, rest in peace, don't come, don't come out and shake around."

"Hahaha," Huanhuan stretched out his hand to smooth the broken hair on Shun Ling'er's forehead, and chuckled, "We Ling'er are most afraid of ghosts, aren't we?" It's Mo Niang, not Qin Niang, it's me who made a mistake. ”

After feeling the temperature of the fingers in front of her, Ling'er mustered up her courage, looked up at Huanhuan, and recognized that the woman in front of her was her young lady by the cold moonlight, and immediately reached out to hug her.

"Miss, how can Miss not wait for Ling'er?" Ling'er buried her head tightly on Huanhuan's shoulder, and said in a tone of resentment and grievance.

"Ling'er is so timid, I'm afraid that when I see the scene behind the rockery, I'm afraid I'll faint with fright." Huanhuan was actually very scared, but seeing Ling'er like this, most of Fang Cai's fear dissipated, not to mention that there was Mo Niang standing behind them.

"What's behind the rockery?"

"Dead people."

As soon as Ling'er heard that it was a dead person, she held Huanhuan's hand and hurriedly pushed harder.

"Don't be afraid, let's go to the main courtyard now and seek justice for the woman who died tragically, so that she can be blinded."

"What? Miss still talked to 'her'? ”

……

Mo Niang led the way in front, and after a while, the three of them arrived at the main courtyard of the palace, at this time Li Zerong had not returned to the house, and there were only two servants who kept vigil in the main courtyard, squatting in the courtyard.

The main courtyard is luxurious, and the candles are lit for a long time, and the light is extraordinary. Huanhuan and Ling'er were relieved when they arrived at the light. Especially Ling'er, when she saw the light, her eyes were shining with stars, and her hand holding Huanhuan was a little looser.

When I realized that I was so frightened that I burst into tears and snot overflowed, I felt ashamed in my heart. Hurriedly took out a handkerchief and wiped his face seriously.

When Huanhuan saw her behaving like this, he felt cute and quipped, "Ling'er was almost scared to death, if it's really a ghost in the book, I don't know what will happen to Ling'er?" ”

Ling'er glanced at Huanhuan, pouted, and said, "What's the matter?" It must be so frightened that he will be killed on the spot. Miss knows to make fun of me, I don't believe you're not afraid! ”

"With Mo Niang here, what do I have to be afraid of." Huanhuan glanced at Mo Niang in front of him, approached Ling'er and said mysteriously, "Tell you quietly, Mo Niang is very good." ”

"I already knew."

Ling'er looked a little proud when she heard this, she knew that Mo Niang was skilled, otherwise she wouldn't have proposed to let Mo Niang follow when she visited the garden today. She still remembered that when the princess brought someone to see the young lady lying on the bed that day, Mo Niang threw a strong man to the ground with one hand, making him unable to move. It can be seen that the skills are very good.

"How did you find out?"

"Aren't the masters in the book all talkative?" Ling'er would not tell Huanhuan about Mo Niang's defeat of the strong man, otherwise she would have pulled out the matter that Huanhuan was sick and stupid that day, and woke up to call the princess. That would surely embarrass her young lady to death.

"But Mo Niang can't speak." When Huanhuan said this, his expression was sentimental, if only Mo Niang was not dumb, then he could talk to them, just like Qin Niang in the past, and accompany them.

"Then Mo Niang's skills are even more amazing!"

Huanhuan was amused by Ling'er, but the smile disappeared immediately.

The servants of the night watch, having already seen the three of them, went into the house to report the news. By the time Huanhuan and the others stood in the main courtyard, the servant who had reported the news had already received an answer, "The princess said, it's late today, and I won't see you." ”

The servant spoke very stiffly, clasped his hands in front of him, and did not salute, and was very sluggish.

"I'm not looking for the princess, I'm looking for the prince." Huanhuan was too lazy to entangle with the princess, so he got straight to the point.

When the servant heard this, the corners of his mouth sneered, and he pretended to be embarrassed and said, "The prince is in love with the princess, I'm afraid I won't see Miss Qi." ”

Huanhuan's heart ached when he heard this, and he raised his eyes to look at the lit house inside, his expression darkened for a moment, but then turned to disdain.

The servant did not ask her purpose, but when he saw that she had stopped talking, he made an impatient gesture of invitation, and motioned for them to leave.

Huanhuan looked around, and suddenly shouted loudly, "He Quan! General He is not here?! ”

Since Gao Yu and Li Zerong don't care, then she will find someone else, in short, she must not let the murderer escape freely. Such a hidden place, such a cruel killing method, made Huanhuan uneasy.

Today, no matter what, she wants people to see the horrific scene of this palace - the tragic death of a female corpse in the rockery bamboo forest.
