Although most of the Imperial Forest Army was transferred, there were still 800 soldiers left in the palace after all, so strictly speaking, this palace was not an empty door; In addition, the inner supervisors and female officials in the palace are still on duty, so judging from the appearance alone, it seems that there is no difference from the scene of the past.

Shen Gui took the detailed map of the palace drawn by Qi Yan, and after looking at it by starlight for a while, he went straight to the Yanyu Pavilion in the southeast corner of the Imperial City.

It was a quiet and elegant courtyard, which was the palace residence given by Yan Qinghong to Yan Shuqing. But to this day, Yan Shuqing has not stayed in the Smoke and Rain Pavilion; Therefore, except for the two small internal supervisors who are responsible for daily cleaning and maintenance, the entire Yanyu Pavilion is lifeless on weekdays. After a long free time, there were many palace maids and eunuchs who talked in private, saying that this small courtyard was often haunted, and they also made up the time and place the cause and the reason, and made up a nose and an eye.

Yan Shuqing, the owner of Yanyu Pavilion, has been living in her eldest princess's mansion since she disguised herself as a beggar and returned to Youbei. On weekdays, the door is not out of the door, and the palace chef with outstanding skills has been specially invited to study the way of cooking.

It happened that early this morning, someone from the palace spread the word that Shen Gui, the king of Zhongshan, had just returned to Fengjing. Yan Shuqing dressed up carefully, and while he was still talking in the Dongnuan Pavilion, he went to the imperial dining room to cook a pot of bird's nest porridge with his own hands.

Yes, the way she secretly competed with Li Le'an was to say four simple words: do what she likes. Shen Gui's love and fascination with food is almost universally known; However, Li Le'an is indeed a good hand at concocting medicinal materials, but he has no talent interest in cooking. It's also a little strange to say, cooking and decocting potions are obviously using fire, why is she, a disciple of the Holy Hand of Rejuvenation, actually a culinary idiot?

In Yan Shuqing's imagination, he may not be able to play any role in this temporary cramming; But he can also express his heart for Shen Gui, and let him, a "workaholic" who does not understand the amorous feelings, carefully feel the unique gentleness and thoughtfulness of his daughter's family.

But that guy who didn't understand the amorous feelings, although he ate his own bird's nest porridge, he didn't come to the imperial dining room to look at himself! In vain, he happily ran to Beilan Palace, begging the imperial sister-in-law to show him on the side; As a result, that bastard not only didn't show up, but he didn't even say a word about the bird's nest porridge, and he didn't even scold a few words about unpalatable!

The joy turned into sadness, and all afternoon, Yan Shuqing lay on Tie Li'er's phoenix couch and cried her nose. She remembered the thorns on the way she followed Shen Gui, remembered Shen Gui's indifferent attitude of pretending to be incomprehensible, and remembered that she had passed the good years of leaving the cabinet, but because of him as a bastard, she had become an old girl who no one wanted......

The grievances of the past few years, including the helplessness of Li Le'an, the opponent, all turned into tears and sprinkled on Deng Li'er's fiery red quilt.

The stronger the girl on weekdays, once she is touched by something, and as soon as her tears fall, it will be difficult to stop. Although Empress Deng is Shen Gui's righteous sister, he also doesn't know much about this righteous brother, and he can't understand Yan Shuqing's pain on the road of chasing love; In desperation, she could only rub her green hair repeatedly, and let her use her bed as a towel to wipe her tears......

Yan Shuqing cried directly from the afternoon until the sun set. It wasn't until Yan Qinghong returned to Beilan Palace from Dongnuan Pavilion that he could be regarded as putting back his tears. She was crying happily, but Yan Qinghong was in a hurry! Whoever sees his own sister-in-law and turns those willow eyes into two fresh peaches will never be able to give up! Besides, for him, this girl is his only living blood relative!

Originally, he was not very optimistic about Shen Gui becoming his brother-in-law, but he couldn't stand Yan Shuqing's liking, so he completely gave up the idea of getting married, and let this girl chase the happiness she wanted. However, after the two sides went on this long trip, there seemed to be no progress in the relationship, but it looked even more sad!

Yan Qinghong lost his temper half-truthfully, but he completely scared Yan Shuqing's grievances back, and in turn comforted the emperor's brother for more than half an hour. It wasn't until it got dark that Yan Shuqing left Beilan Palace and settled in the Yanyu Pavilion in the palace.

So why does this smoke and rain pavilion have a haunted story? is because since the construction of this place was completed, Yan Shuqing, the owner's house, has not appeared once. Over time, this quiet and elegant small building in the middle of nowhere has become a place for private meetings and gambling of several internal supervisors. Anyone who passes by here in the middle of the night and sees several dim fires lit up in the courtyard, and countless people laughing and screaming and wailing in what should be a silent house, must be frightened!

As for those who are bold enough not to fear ghosts, or who do not believe in ghosts and gods at all, dare to go in and take a look? Of course, there are people who understand like this, but the entertainment life of the eunuchs and palace ladies is very scarce, and gambling is their only pastime; In addition, the person who came out to form the bureau is an old internal supervisor with excellent personal popularity, so even if someone finds out, everyone knows each other.

The internal officials who have the right to travel the palace at night are already rare, half of them are stumped by ghosts and gods, half of them are tripped by the gambling table, and half of them are stumped by human favors, plus the current head of the inner court is a bad person, so there has never been any major problems.

However, although the chief administrator of the inner court is irrelevant, since his accession to the throne, His Majesty the Xingping Emperor has maintained the image of a holy monarch who is diligent in government and loves the people, lives a simple life, does not drink alcohol, and does not love money. Therefore, in the minds of these internal officials, Yan Qinghong, who looks like a swinger brother, has already been left behind. Although gambling in the palace has existed since ancient times, it is not something that can be put on the table, so I often shoot and change places to avoid being opened by those defenders.

Therefore, the gamble of the Yanyu Pavilion actually did not last long, it was only more than two months, and it was transferred to the ruins of the Imperial Horse Prison; However, the old internal supervisor who was in charge of organizing the gambling game installed the meeting place of another small group in the haunted Yanyu Pavilion. As for the two little internal supervisors who are responsible for daily cleaning and maintenance, they have also been replaced by the godsons of this "casino owner"!

Shen returned to Beijing, and almost no one knew about it; And Yan Shuqing returned to Beijing, why not?

Since leaving Beilan Palace, Yan Shuqing was full of girlish concerns, and did not choose to take the palace sedan chair, but took heavy steps and slowly walked back to Yanyu Pavilion.

For this elegant courtyard that she has never lived in, she can also imagine how lonely and desolate the scene will be. But when she walked nearby, there was still a courtyard wall separated from Yanyu Building, and she heard some voices from the courtyard...... There are people!

Yan Shuqing knew that the eunuchs on duty in each palace had very strict procedures to follow, and there was no rule for cleaning after sunset!

Could it be ...... Is it the bastard who drank his own porridge but didn't come to see him, and came to apologize?

Yan Shuqing was full of joy, with a peacock-like proud expression, rubbed his red and swollen eyes quite worriedly, and repeatedly practiced the smile that he thought was "charming" a few times, and then tiptoed close to the door, and then kicked open the wooden door of the Yanyu Pavilion!

"Shen Gui is your ......"

After only saying five words, Yan Shuqing could no longer pronounce any scales! The thin lover she expected did not appear in the Smoke and Rain Pavilion; And everywhere you look, there is a strange and eerie horror scene!

In the main hall of Yanyu Pavilion, there should have been a portrait of Concubine Lan's Bao; But now it has become a portrait of a god and monster with three eyes, eight hands, a cloak of hair, and bare chests and bare feet! And on the incense table in front of the portrait, there is a bloody head! In every corner of the room, there were inner prisons of all sizes, kneeling on the ground, as if they were worshipping something......

The inner prison door, which was originally sincerely burning incense and kowtowing and praying, had all turned their heads at this time, and was staring at the master's house of the Yanyu Building with Mu Ne's cruel eyes, and the scene was silent......

Yan Shuqing followed Shen Gui through a period of rivers and lakes, and his hands were also stained with human blood, and there were countless unjust souls living on the bowstring; So even though her heart was beating wildly at this time, she still maintained an extremely calm look on her face:

"What do you see me doing? The princess is coming, so put your things away! I'm going out to watch the wind now, and you're all nibble in your hands and feet, and listen to my cough! ”

In such a sudden situation, Yan Shuqing quickly thought of a way to leave safely! She organized the transfer of the other party with an unquestionable tone! Looking at her frowning, complaining and anxious look, there were really a few young eunuchs, thinking that she was her own person who had come to report the news, and immediately stood up and began to take away the head on the incense case......

"Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, it's really not shallow! is obviously a wealthy lady who grew up in the inner courtyard of the deep palace since childhood, but she can think of such means, she really deserves to be the woman of the king of Zhongshan! It's a pity, it's a pity, if you hadn't worn the queen's phoenix hairpin on your head, our family would have been fooled by you! Children, tie up this palace maid who trespassed on the forbidden land to our family! ”

Yan Shuqing has indeed practiced flower boxing and embroidered legs for a few days, and he has a superb archery skill; However, she was now wearing a wide robe with large sleeves, a dress that was extremely difficult to move, and she did not carry a longbow and quiver at hand, so she could not exert her strength at all; In addition, there were a large number of internal prisoners in the house, and they stepped on the hem of her phoenix silk skirt and rushed up, and tied Yan Shuqing into a strong knot after dividing five by two!

"Nothing should be! You shouldn't go back to the Smoke and Rain Pavilion tonight. But that's okay, as the so-called born in Si grew up in Si, after tonight, this Youbei Palace will no longer be surnamed Yan! You were sunk in the well in the backyard of the Smoke and Rain Pavilion today, and you can be regarded as a fallen leaf returning to your roots! ”

After finishing speaking, the "casino owner" took a steel knife from the incense table for the head, and slapped it horizontally on Yan Shuqing's forehead, making a "buzzing" knife sound; After that, the old eunuch pinched Yan Shuqing's temple with his left hand, held the steel knife upside down with his right hand, chanted words in his mouth, and danced a strange dance around the ground......

At this moment, on the beams of the Yanyu Pavilion, Shen Guizheng, who had no conscience, crossed his legs in a big way, looked at the group of crazy eunuchs who were singing and dancing below, and yawned boredly!
