The news of the four princes being crowned kings caused a small commotion among the people and the court.

Both the common people and the ministers of the court were very curious about this fourth highness who suddenly appeared and seemed to be particularly favored by the emperor.

Of course, for the officials of the DPRK and China, curiosity is a small matter, but stance is a big matter.

Some time ago, because of the matter of the third prince, the situation of some ministers who stood in line earlier was already very difficult, and then the mother of the second prince had an accident again, and the court and China were even more upright and secretly turbulent.

Now that His Royal Highness King Qing, the fourth prince suddenly appeared, it has obviously exacerbated the turmoil in the imperial court, so except for Zhao Taifu, who teaches the princes part-time, few people are really happy about his rise.

But in any case, when this summer is over, there is still an additional Qingwang Mansion in Cheng'en Lane.

At the same time, Shen Yuyu, the third prince who had been bedridden for nearly two months, finally swallowed his last breath and left with endless unwillingness and resentment.

Chen Lingwan, the sixth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, shook her hand when she got the news, and the phoenix crown in her hand smashed to the ground with a bang.

The golden phoenix on the front was smashed crookedly, and several beads that fell on both sides were broken, and the shape of the entire phoenix crown became soft.

The mother-in-law who served next to her was so frightened that she knelt down as soon as her legs became weak, but Chen Lingwan was strangely not angry: "It's okay, just ask the craftsman to repair it." There are still three days left in the auspicious period, and it is about too late. ”

The mother-in-law was overjoyed and recited "Huangtian Bodhisattva Blessing" more than a dozen times in her heart.

Waiting for the mother-in-law to withdraw, Chen Lingwan's face suddenly changed, and with a bang, she threw all the auspicious clothes and jewelry on the table to the ground, almost lifting the table.

Mrs. Chen lifted the curtain and came in, and what she saw was her little daughter standing in a mess with an angry face on her face.

The mother looks at her daughter, of course, how she looks good. Mrs. Chen walked in with a sigh, pressed her daughter on the shoulder, and asked softly, "Why are you angry again?" ”

"Mother......" Chen Ling cried out in a wow, "He's dead, he's dead!" ”

"Shut up!" Mrs. Chen's face changed, "Who died?" Life and death have life, so many people die every day in the world, what does it have to do with you! ”

Chen Lingwan wiped a handful of tears, fell into Mrs. Chen's arms, and cried even more: "Didn't I say that he didn't have to die?" People are dead, what if I cry? Can the royal family kill him, can they force me to marry a flower child who is nothing, can they still control me and not allow me to cry! ”

"Little Liu!" Mrs. Chen didn't know whether she was anxious or angry, and her face turned pale: "You are not a princess now!" Royal is something you can talk about? Besides, what's wrong with the four princes, he is the first prince to be crowned king! I don't know how many people in Beijing are blushing in your marriage, don't be in the blessing and don't know the blessing! ”

Chen Lingwan cried whining, deliberately refusing to listen to these words.

Mrs. Chen sighed again and slapped her daughter twice on the back: "You, it's just that your temper is not easy to change!" What if you don't want to give you a marriage? Your father is not afraid to reason with His Majesty for your future, so I ask you dare to fight for your own 'reluctance' and fight for the lives of our family? ”

Chen Lingwan hurriedly shook her head, paused for a moment and said reluctantly: "Mother, I understand the truth, I will marry, you don't have to worry too much." ”

Only when he is so sensible is it even more distressing.

Mrs. Chen wiped a handful of tears, pulled her daughter to sit down together, and sighed: "Don't be too sad, people always have to look forward." I heard your father say that the fourth prince was only delayed because he was not taken seriously for these years, and when it comes to being smart and studious, he is not inferior to any other prince. In fact, it's okay, now that he has just tasted the taste of favor, you can be regarded as a bad wife when you marry, this affection is not comparable to those who later put the icing on the cake. He's young, are you still afraid that you won't be able to manipulate him? ”

Chen Lingwan finally laughed out loud, and then hurriedly raised her hand to wipe her tears, and asked tentatively: "What does my father mean...... Isn't it a bad thing that I got married? ”

"Of course not!" Mrs. Chen smiled, "Do you really think that a child whose father doesn't care for his mother's absence, who has been thrown in the backyard as a little beggar for more than ten years, suddenly became king is because he is lucky?" Silly Wan'er, this is already a blockbuster! ”

"If you don't fly, it's just a flight?" Chen Lingwan picked up the second half of the sentence, and her eyes lit up.

Mrs. Chen smiled and nodded: "It's man-made." Since you can't escape this marriage, you should accept this fact as soon as possible. How far and how well you can go in the future depends on your creation and ability! ”

"I'm sure I'll be able to walk well!" Chen Lingwan raised her head, her eyes shining with determination.

Mrs. Chen was quite relieved, and was about to nod, but she saw another layer of water in her daughter's eyes, and the corners of her lips drooped: "However, I heard that the fourth prince is ...... with a little eunuch."

"Don't believe that nonsense!" Mrs. Chen immediately sank her face, "The mouths of the world grow on their own faces, how filthy they are, it is their own business, if you believe it, you will be stupid!" ”

"But......" Chen Lingwan was not so easily frightened by a few words.

Seeing this, Mrs. Chen sighed again, and changed to a soft tone: "Little Liu, in our women's family, jealousy is the most important thing. You have to remember that you are the wife, even if he loves ten in his heart, the honor of the main room is also yours alone, what are you afraid of? Not to mention...... The waiter, just a eunuch, not a girl! Even if there is such a thing, he can't get any reputation, and a minion is worth your attention? ”

Chen Lingwan herself seemed to feel a little funny, so she lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, squeezing out a smile: "Mother, I know." ”

"If you know, you will be honest and get married, don't break the plate and make those movements, your father won't be able to eat and walk around!" Mrs. Chen reprimanded her as usual, and then bent down to pick up the auspicious clothes on the ground and put them on the table, and then went out to help the little maid's hand and left.

Chen Lingwan's smile completely collapsed after the curtain stopped shaking, and her good-looking phoenix eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a bit of cold light.

"What about King Qing, to be called Hanako is to call Hanako! My family has been scholarly for generations, and you are a son born from a cheap maid who sells lines, and you are also worthy? ”

She stared hatefully at the pile of auspicious clothes on the table, and sneered: "A hairy boy from a humble background, uneducated, unskilled, and prodigal...... Just listen to me in the future, otherwise, I want you to look good! ”

……

Shen Yuli didn't know how much he was disliked by his fiancée.

Now he is very distressed. Sitting in his palace, watching the diligent little eunuchs and maids go in and out to clean up the new house, he only felt lonely like never before.

The minions in the palace are very well-behaved, no one will come to talk to him on their own initiative when he sits quietly, and no one will move around and trample things. Every eunuch and maid is well-trained, and the rules are almost not like living people.

So at this time, there were about a dozen people in Shen Yuli's field of vision, but he couldn't even hear the slightest human voice in his ears.

Is...... Not used to it.

The little eunuch, who seemed to have hundreds of mouths, hadn't appeared for more than a month.

Forty-nine days, to be exact.

This overly neat number made Shen Yuli frown. Then he remembered the forty-eighth, forty-seventh, forty-sixth...... He counted all the days, and was relieved.

Forty-nine days, a very common number, in another eleven days will be two months, and in more than three hundred days will be a year...... At that time, he may not even remember what the little eunuch looks like.

Will forget. In three days, he will get married, and in the future, he will be his king of Qing, study diligently, practice martial arts diligently, care about the government and sympathize with the people, and respect the princess like a guest...... The rumors out there will soon be gone.

Shen Yuli thought about this endlessly, forcing himself to look forward to the upcoming wedding and the fiancée he had never met.

But when he thought of the marriage, he couldn't help but think of the girl in the pink skirt who had only appeared twice and didn't even know her name and identity.

If the bride is her......

Don't think about it, it won't be her, it's not the right age in the first place.

Shen Yuli was doubly irritable in his heart, and stood up with a sigh of relief, so frightened that the little eunuch passing by at the door slipped under his feet, and the half-human-high red porcelain beauty bottle in his arms almost fell to the ground.

There are eunuchs and eunuchs under the corridor, and there must be a scolding when they see this, and there is finally a voice in the palace.

But Shen Yuli's mood did not change for the better because of this "human voice", he only felt a little angry in addition to his irritability, which was very sad.

At this time, a little eunuch who couldn't remember his name came in from outside, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, there is a kid sneaky outside the gate, and he has been walking there for a long time. The housekeeper called the servant to ask if he wanted to be taken away. ”

Shen Yuli didn't like to listen to these miscellaneous things, so he said with a cold face: "Don't care." ”

"But," the little eunuch looked embarrassed, "that kid has a pair of eyes that are slippery, and always peeks secretly inside the gate, could it be a robber stepping on it......

"The robbers stepped on the point, stepped on the palace?" Shen Yuli smiled angrily, "Then let them come!" If they can rob my palace, they are capable! ”

The little eunuch didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly agreed and ran out.

Shen Yuli looked at his back, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart inexplicably, and he suspected that he had just done something stupid.

That's not right!

Shen Yuli, who has never believed in metaphysics, has become a little chatty recently, and after making sure that he was uncomfortable, he immediately became energetic, and with a flick of his robe sleeves, he quickly stepped out of the threshold and went straight to the gate of the palace.

The gate was originally newly made, and it had just been cleaned for a happy event, and the dark red color lined the plantain next to the door, which was very eye-catching.

But no matter how eye-catching it is, it is not as eye-catching as the miserable little boy outside the door.

Shen Yuli felt as if something had been pounded heavily on his chest. He opened his mouth to speak, but he couldn't.

His tongue is so wooden, he won't move.

When the dusty boy at the foot of the stairs saw him, he shrank in fright, and ran away.

"You...... Hold it! Shen Yuli let out a loud cry from his throat, and tried to straighten his tongue: "Huanlin, you stop for me!" ”

The figure outside the door immediately stopped.

Shen Yuli rushed out of the door in an instant, ran down the steps in three steps and two steps, stood in front of the gray boy, and looked up and down: "Why are you ...... Dressed like this? And lost so much weight? Didn't your father kill you? Where did they get you? How did you get back? You ......"

"Shen Yuli," the little boy smiled, his eyebrows crooked: "Now you are even more noisy than me!" ”

Shen Yuli immediately took two steps back, and the urge to go back to the house and close the door was born in his heart.

But Circumference did not give him time to do so. She quickly took two steps forward to fill the gap, and reached out and grabbed Shen Yuli's sleeve: "Hey, you are the prince now, I almost died!" ”

Big eyes blinked, aggrieved.

Shen Yuli immediately froze, came back to his senses and hurriedly reached out to grab her wrist, dragged him into the gate of the palace, and went straight to the study.

Huan Lin was frightened by him, and screamed all the way, but he almost didn't shout "help".

Shen Yuli slammed the door of the study shut, and finally let go of his hand. Huan Lin was so frightened that he suddenly retreated to the window, made a gesture of pushing the window to escape, and then turned around and looked at Shen Yuli with a wary face: "What do you mean?" Is it going to kill me for your father? ”

"You haven't answered my previous question." Shen Yuli looked at her.

Huan Lin shrunk his shoulders, pouted and thought for a long time, and shook his head: "I forgot what you asked." ”

Shen Yuli sighed resignedly: "Let me ask you, where did my father get you?" How did you get out? ”

"Your father?" Huan Lin was stunned, "Where is he going to get me?" I don't know! Why is it not enough for you to bake sparrows alone, are your whole family planning to bake sparrows? The roasted sparrow movement arose in the palace? ”

"What a mess!" Shen Yuli laughed angrily at her.

Huan Lin couldn't laugh, and was so anxious that he turned around in front of the window: "This can't work, there can be a few sparrows in the palace, and I can't stand you eating like this......"

"Don't turn around!" Shen Yuli held her down helplessly, "No one wants to roast sparrows!" And you're not really a sparrow either! Let me ask you, where have you been for the past two months? ”

"I'm dead!" Huan Lin replied seriously.

Shen Yuli felt a pain in his chest. After that, he frowned and looked at Huan Lin's face, and said in a deep voice: "Speak well!" I've never seen a ghost in my life, and if you really die, I'll be completely quiet! ”

Huan Lin was so angry by his hard tone that he pouted, and sat down angrily: "You don't believe me when I tell the truth!" I was really killed by that big beauty! It's so easy for me to leave a wisp of remnant soul back to see you, and you still murder me! ”

Shen Yuli furrowed his brows, recalled the real touch when he grabbed her wrist just now, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and did not pursue the topic of death or not.

"What great beauty? Did you see that ghost again? Is she really still there? He asked.

Huan Lin nodded: "That old Taoist priest is a liar, he just used a spell to trap those ghosts for a while, and he didn't eliminate any of them at all!" You wait and see, now that the old Taoist priest is dead, it won't take half a year for the palace to be full of ghosts, and the new ghosts and the old ghosts will come out to make trouble together! ”

Shen Yuli, who had never seen a ghost before, imagined that scene and shuddered.

Huan Lin fiddled with the vase on the windowsill in his hand, and was angry: "After the big beauty came back, she became fierce again, she thought I didn't want to kill your father, so she arrested me and tortured me...... I feel like my soul has been crushed by her, the eggshell has been shattered, and the yolk has been scattered! ”

Shen Yuli didn't understand what eggshells and yolks were. But it is obvious that he has suffered during this time around the forest, and the thin little face is clearly placed there.

"So, you didn't show up during this time, not because you fell into the hands of the guards, but because you were captured by a female ghost?" Shen Yuli confirmed.

Huan Lin nodded, and when he talked about this topic, his eyes were even more teary: "I almost can't get out!" Last night, the great beauty summoned a lot of hanged ghosts in the palace, and I had a free time to sneak out...... I don't dare to stay in that palace city for a day, and now all the hanged ghosts, decapitated ghosts, and ghosts with missing arms and legs will kill me......"

Shen Yuli had a headache when he heard so many ghosts, and hurriedly asked, "Why do you want to kill you?" ”

"Because they are all the subordinates of that great beauty!" Jumping around the forest, "You don't know, what kind of queen is that big beauty—it's the queen of the previous dynasty!" She and the whole group of ghosts want to kill your whole family to avenge the emperor of the previous dynasty, and I won't listen to them, so they will kill me......"

It's getting more and more. Shen Yuli shook his head in disbelief.

Huanlin jumped around and shouted, "What I said is true!" The big beauty is the queen of the previous dynasty, I heard that your father rebelled because he fell in love with her! The hanged ghost I saw last time was the good concubine of the previous dynasty, as well as the virtuous concubine Yang Zhaorong, Lu Jieyu, and the four emperors were all hanged! The big beauty and her child died by wiping their necks in the Buddha hall! The emperor was already sick before he hanged himself, so after he died, he didn't even think of a ghost, and was captured by a ghost! The black-faced little eunuch I saw three months ago who claimed to be the crown prince was really the crown prince of the previous dynasty, he was dressed as a eunuch and tried to escape, but he was caught and pressed into a puddle and drowned......"

These words were even more absurd and bizarre than before, but the expression on Shen Yuli's face gradually became a little weird.

The death of the former emperor and the concubine of the crown prince was only accidentally found in the library when he was studying recently. How can the confused little eunuch Huanlin know?

Could it be ......

Huan Lin met his scrutinizing gaze and cried: "This is not what others told me, I saw it with my own eyes!" After the great beauty stunned me, I felt as if I had become a ghost, watching the former emperor and his concubines hanging, watching the former prince being pressed into a puddle, and watching the great beauty wipe her neck with her daughter...... Her 'Bao'er' is not a son, but a daughter! It's an ugly death! ”

"Don't cry." Shen Yuli pulled her over a little awkwardly and patted her on the back a few times like coaxing a child: "That's all someone else's business." ”

Huan Lin shook his head desperately in his arms, and said with a sob: "It's not someone else's business, it's your business!" Those concubines, princesses, princesses and princesses of the previous dynasty have all become powerful ghosts, and they will definitely cause chaos in the palace! If you can't surpass them, there will be one accident after another in the palace, and your father, your brothers, and yourself will not live long! ”

Shen Yuli was so distressed by his crying that he was helpless: "Don't cry, wait a few days, I will try to mention it to my father, and I will do a magic event in the palace to surpass them." ”

"I'm afraid it's useless!" Huan Lin sobbed and shook his head, "Those are all terrible ghosts!" Now the palace is full of resentment, and they are more popular than alive! That's the resentment of a dynasty, do you think you can go over by asking a few monks and Taoists to recite the scriptures? ”

Shen Yuli was speechless, hugged her silently for a long time, and sighed: "You don't have to worry about this, I'll figure it out." ”
