Chapter 505: The human heart is more terrible than a ghost
King Hui took a deep breath, then took Zhuo Qian's hand and said very seriously: "Qianqian, are you sure what you heard is really the dim sum sent by Concubine Wen?" ”
"Yes, you've asked many times, and it's not just me, but also the five sisters-in-law." Zhuo Qian pouted.
"Qianqian, it's impossible for Concubine Wen to send someone to bring you snacks, because Concubine Wen died many years ago." King Hui said in a deep voice.
Hearing this, Zhuo Qian and Gu Yunxin looked shocked, what? Concubine Wen died many years ago? No wonder, no wonder they feel strange when they hear this title.
"What? Concubine Wen is already dead? That...... So who will send us pastries yesterday under the banner of Concubine Wen? Gu Yunxin said in a panic.
Since this person knows Concubine Wen, he may be the old man in the palace, but they don't know Concubine Wen at all, let alone have any festivals. Even if it's a ghost, you shouldn't be looking for the wrong person.
"Lord Wang, how did Concubine Wen die?" Gu Yunxin said lightly.
If you want to know why this Concubine Wen gave them food, as long as you know what happened to her before, maybe it can be solved.
"That Concubine Wen is said to be the mastermind of setting fire to Yongfang Palace, and it is also human and material evidence, she has no way to refute it, originally her father grounded her, and she was still thinking about how to deal with it, so she set fire to herself in her bedroom and hanged herself." Rui Wang said lightly.
Burning Yongfang Palace? Isn't that where most of the princes used to live? And King Hui's face was also ruined because it was there.
Thinking of this, Zhuo Qian waved her fist and said: "Since she is the mastermind and has all the evidence, suicide is cheap for her, so why should my father consider it?" ”
"It is said that Concubine Wen at that time was just pregnant, and my father wanted to wait until she gave birth to the child, but he didn't expect ......"
Whether Concubine Wen was the mastermind of setting fire to Yongfang Palace, no one knew, and there were no clues to investigate. But now someone is using Concubine Wen to make a fuss, which makes Gu Yunxin feel the aura of danger.
"Fifth sister-in-law, after the death of Concubine Wen, there was a lot of trouble in the palace for a while, and there were many people who were scared to death and crazy at that time. And in less than five years, the ghost of Concubine Wen will appear in the palace. King Hui said lightly.
What the? Comes up every five years? How is this like a story in a storyteller's book?
"King Hui, are you kidding? How is this possible, isn't there someone who wants to avenge that Concubine Wen! Hongqi said lightly.
Hongqi and Gu Yunxin had the same idea, they both felt that someone was using Concubine Wen's matter to cover up for themselves.
"I don't believe that there are ghosts in this world, and people's hearts are sometimes more terrible than ghosts." Gu Yunxin said lightly.
If there really are ghosts in this world, why haven't so many bad people been rewarded?
It's just that some people want to use the power of ghosts and gods to satisfy their own selfishness.
"But fifth sister-in-law, Concubine Wen has been dead for so many years, if it weren't for the appearance of ghosts, who would it be?" Zhuo Qian wondered.
"I don't know for the time being, this person may be a good friend of Concubine Wen and wants to avenge her, or he wants to harm us in the name of Concubine Wen, and then transfer all his attention to the matter of Concubine Wen's ghost." Gu Yunxin's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Fifth sister-in-law, can't it really be a ghost?" Zhuo Qian looked around nervously.
"No, how can ghosts use Gu poison to kill people." Gu Yunxin said lightly.
"Yes, someone used Gu to poison my master before, but I didn't expect it to get even worse this time." Hongxuan said indignantly.
"Lord Wang, sixth brother, I hope you can cooperate with us in acting, and let the person behind the curtain jump out by himself, how about it?" Gu Yunxin said with an unfathomable smile.
"It's good, it's just ......," King Rui said in a long voice.
"But what?"
"It's just that if you look at Zhuo Qian, the sixth brother is the sixth brother, why do you call me the prince at any time, it doesn't sound kind at all." King Rui pouted.
When has this been, this Rui Wang is still jealous because of this little thing, besides, this prince and prince have been called for so long, and for a while, she can't change it.
"Then if I also call you the fifth brother, isn't it the same as the sixth brother and the ninth brother? I don't know, I think I'm your sister. Gu Yunxin rolled her eyes and said.
"Then you can also change the title, a more intimate name between you and me." King Rui pursed his lips and smiled.
"Then let me think about it, call you Goro? Or is it Yi Lang? It feels so weird, I'll call you husband. Gu Yunxin said with a smile.
"Husband? Where do others know who your name is? King Rui pouted.
"Then call it the prince's husband, so it won't be the same as others." Gu Yunxin said with a smile.
Looking at Gu Yunxin's smug appearance, King Rui could only sigh secretly in his heart, it seemed that it was impossible to hear too many sweet words from Gu Yunxin's mouth, because now there was one more person competing with him.
Soon, the news that Princess Hui was poisoned by Concubine Wen's ghost spread all over the palace.
Some of the people who heard the news were scared, while others were not at all reacting. If it weren't for King Rui who had greeted the emperor and the queen mother in advance, then someone would definitely suppress this matter.
Another piece of news from this is that because the harem is not suppressed by the main palace Niangniang, there will be these demons and evil spirits.
For a while, everyone in the harem was terrified, for fear that because there was no suppression in the main palace, the demonic spirit would find him.
In the Empress Dowager's palace, Gu Yunxin was chatting with the Empress Dowager with her child.
"Yun Xin, what do you think of the rumors in the palace in the past few days?" The Queen Mother has a good time.
"Imperial grandmother, it's just that some people can't sit still, and they want to get more things than now, Queen Xiao of the Middle Palace hasn't been abolished, but she has just been grounded, why is there no main palace mother?" Gu Yunxin chuckled and said.
"Hahaha, you girl, your eyes are really poisonous, that's right, although the mourning family is not the queen, but the mourning family is the queen mother, can't you cure these demons?" The Queen Mother snorted coldly.
"Imperial grandmother, don't worry, there are some things, the prince is still investigating, and there should be a result soon." Gu Yunxin dissuaded.
"What are you looking into again?" The Queen Mother wondered.
"This ...... Please don't ask the imperial grandmother first, and then we will naturally know. If you are accidentally known and the other party has a precaution, it will be difficult to do. Gu Yunxin said lightly.
She believes in the Queen Mother, and she also believes in the people who serve around the Queen Mother, but there is no unventilated wall in this world, and she doesn't want the other party to be prepared.
"That's good, then the mourning family won't ask, but you must protect yourself well, Xun'er is still young, don't rush up by yourself when you encounter something." The Queen Mother took Gu Yunxin's hand and said softly.
"Yes, grandmother of the emperor, don't worry, we will protect ourselves and you for Xun'er, for you and your father." Gu Yunxin said with a light smile.
In Concubine Xi's palace, Concubine Xi swept the tea set on the table to the ground, "This damn Gu Yunxin, if she doesn't mention the Xiao family, how can the Queen Mother remember her?" Isn't the crown prince at odds with their Rui Wangfu? ”
"Niangniang, don't be too angry, Princess Rui may not want to help Queen Xiao, don't forget, before the Lin family died, but as I said, the Xiao family was the one who killed Emperor Mu's concubine." Concubine Xi's maid flattered.
"Hmph, just let that Xiao be proud for a few days, she won't live long anyway." Concubine Xi said coldly.
"Yes, Niangniang, so there is no need for us to be in a hurry, wait for the Xiao family to die, this harem is in the air, who is still qualified to compete with you. Moreover, we can also ask King Hui to talk to King Rui and support you as the queen. ”
"Hmph, that guy from the sixth child, Bengong doesn't expect him, if he really thinks about Bengong, he doesn't need Bengong to say anything to him, he will do it himself. It's a pity, he's incompetent, otherwise, the palace will support him to ascend to the throne first, and when the fifteenth prince grows up, the palace can abolish him as the queen mother and then set up the fifteenth prince. Concubine Xi said coldly.
In Concubine Xi's eyes, this King Hui is simply an obstacle to her ascension, if it weren't for the fact that the time was not ripe, she would have disposed of King Hui a long time ago.
"Niangniang, the slave knows that you are most hurt by the fifteenth prince, but now this King Hui is not worth using? You can give him a good face, so that he can be willing to do things. The maidservant continued to flatter.
She knew very well that if it was before, this King Hui was indeed all the hope of Concubine Xi, but now there are fifteen princes, and the fifteen princes are also slowly growing up. It's just that he still doesn't have any competitiveness compared to other princes.
"In this way, you will summon King Hui and Princess Hui into the palace tomorrow, and say that the palace wants to have a meal with them, and it will be lively." Concubine Xi said lightly.
"But...... Princess Hui didn't just fall into Gu poison a few days ago, I'm afraid that King Hui won't enter the palace. "The maidservant is not going to boil.
"Speaking of this, I was angry, that Zhuo Qian is a fool, how many times, it was all for Gu Yunxin to prevent disasters. The couple is destined to be slaves to others, things that can't be supported by mud. Concubine Xi spat and said.
She has a deep prejudice against King Hui and his wife, it is not just that they are not close enough to King Rui, but she does not get any benefits from it.
"Niangniang, don't be angry, tomorrow the slave maid will go to King Hui's mansion to take a look, and tell King Hui your intentions, presumably King Hui will be very happy after hearing it."
"Well, okay, you can go, pick a few more things from the treasury and bring them, otherwise others will think that this palace is too mean." Concubine Xi pouted.
In fact, in her heart, she didn't want to give anything at all, even if the things in the warehouse were broken and thrown away, she didn't think about giving them to King Hui's mansion.
Moreover, she let her maid go to King Hui's mansion, not really to visit, but with her own other purposes.
