Walk through the Imperial Garden, walk through the flower-filled corridor, and step into the silent deep palace.

Even Jiang Linlin, who had always been proud, quieted down and walked slowly with Xiao Dezi, not daring to look around at will.

It was noon, and the clouds in the sky obscured the sun, and the red walls and green tiles dimmed, which was very oppressive.

Jiang Yingxue walked slowly and dignifiedly, looked up at the sky, and muttered: "It's really not a good phenomenon for floating clouds to cover the sun." ”

"Mrs. Liu, don't talk too much, Empress Dowager Lu is chattering, it's too easy to touch the mold." Seeing her stop, the little father-in-law tensed up and whispered in her ear.

Jiang Yingxue was puzzled, she just said that the weather was not in order?

Seeing that the guards outside the palace were all dressed in black robes, expressionless, and stationed with spears, their eyes immediately glared like bells when they saw the comer.

Jiang Linlin in front of her trembled with fright, and retreated in fear, not daring to take a step closer.

After the guards saw her timidity, they became even more angry, walked to Jiang Linlin's side, and shouted: "Who are you who dare to enter the palace of the Empress Dowager Lu." ”

The guards were angry and dantian, watching Jiang Linlin shout, their eyes were split, and they were angry, like a door god.

These two guards were simply sent as door gods, Jiang Yingxue thought wildly, and was shocked by this thought.

"The courtier, Jiang Linlin, was summoned by the Queen Mother to ask for peace." Jiang Linlin trembled, her legs bent, her eyes panicked, and she asked for help, "Little Dezi, you can explain to them quickly." ”

Empress Dowager Lu is too terrible here, as if she wants to eat people, Jiang Linlin looked at it timidly, and suddenly wanted to escape, not wanting to enter the palace.

After Xiao Dezi heard this, he swallowed his saliva, plucked up his courage, bent down and said respectfully: "The two adults are angry, this is the person next to the emperor, you can't misunderstand." ”

As he spoke, Xiao Dezi took the opportunity to come up, muttered a few words in the guard's ear, and said flatteringly: "Please also ask the two adults to make it convenient." ”

Xiao Dezi motioned to Jiang Linlin and asked her to make amends quickly, looking anxious.

Jiang Linlin had already been frightened, and seeing that Jiang Yingxue on the side was calm and calm, she refused to lose face, and stiffly curved the corners of her mouth and said, "It's the courtiers who are rude, don't be angry." ”

Jiang Yingxue always felt that the atmosphere was strange, and the guards on errands in the palace were all equipped with swords, and rarely with spears.

Seeing that Jiang Linlin's master and servant kept bending down and saluting, Jiang Yingxue frowned, looking at this Empress Dowager Lu is really wrong.

Seeing that Jiang Yingxue had been silent, the little father-in-law beside her was afraid that she would not understand, which would make people embarrassed, so he pulled her back.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, the little father-in-law said kindly: "Since the Empress Dowager Lu fell seriously ill, everything in this palace has been requested, and the Empress Dowager Lu will die if she is unhappy." ”

The little father-in-law seemed to fall into a memory, at first the Empress Dowager Lu was only seriously ill, and then she began to be suspicious, always worried that someone would harm her.

One day, a maidservant girl said a few wrong words, and was beaten to death by the Empress Dowager Lu, and she was not allowed to be buried, and she had to be exposed to the sun for three days before she could do it.

Jiang Yingxue's eyes flashed with surprise, this is a serious illness and delirium, this is obviously a ghost in her heart, and she wants to drive herself crazy.

"Thank you, little father-in-law, I already know." Jiang Yingxue restrained her emotions and thanked her indifferently.

Seeing that the two guards were finally relieved, Jiang Yingxue walked over quickly and stepped into the palace gate with her feet raised.

"Wait." A loud voice came, and a strong arm blocked Jiang Yingxue's way.

Jiang Yingxue stepped in, saw that she had to withdraw her feet, turned her head and looked at the guards calmly, and asked indifferently: "Two adults, what's wrong with Mrs. Ben?" ”

Hearing this, Jiang Linlin, who had just been glad to have entered, stopped, looked at a few people outside the hall with a sneer, and muttered: "Fortunately, Jiang Yingxue was also stopped, it's best to teach her a hard lesson." ”

The thick clouds were blown up by the wind, revealing a trace of sunlight scattered to the earth, shining on Jiang Yingxue's side, and plating a layer of golden light on her face.

The guard was stunned, and for some reason he retreated, lowered his arm, and said in a deep voice, "There is nothing wrong, Mrs. Liu, please come in." ”

The guard no longer stood in the way, but was respectful and stood outside the door again.

Jiang Yingxue nodded with a light smile, raised her foot and stepped in again, and followed the guidance of her little father-in-law.

Jiang Linlin's eyes widened, full of surprise, her small mouth opened slightly, she pointed at the guards silently, and said angrily: "Why is Jiang Yingxue like this, is Empress Dowager Lu targeting me?" ”

Xiao Dezi panicked, hurriedly covered Jiang Linlin's mouth, and said with a boo: "Miss Jiang, be careful, this is the queen mother's palace, be careful of the trouble coming out of your mouth." ”

Xiao Dezi knew that the Jiang family sisters dealt with each other, but Jiang Yingxue had always been steady and not out of proportion, and he took Jiang Linlin to keep his mouth shut.

If it weren't for him, Jiang Linlin might not have been able to get in, Xiao Dezi complained a little angrily.

Jiang Linlin whimpered, broke Xiao Dezi's hand, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said disgustedly: "You really don't know the etiquette, Miss Ben knows it in her heart, and she won't be heard here." ”

Jiang Yingxue ignored the two who were arguing, but agreed with Jiang Linlin's words in her heart.

No one will hear it here, it's too quiet.

The palace of the Empress Dowager Lu took many years to be carefully built by skilled craftsmen, and there are two everlasting lamps at the door of the main hall.

In this matter, it was the blue sky and the white day, and the palace lamp of the stone carving was still burning for a long time.

The wide courtyard was empty, and even the flowers in the flower beds were left unattended, and the fallen petals were scattered all over the ground.

Jiang Yingxue was puzzled, she didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of the old fox of the Empress Dowager Lu, so she raised her feet and walked to the side of the main hall.

Seeing that there was no one in front of the main hall, Jiang Yingxue was about to ask others, and found that the windows were all covered, and she couldn't see the scene inside clearly.

"Jiang Yingxue, what are you doing sneakily, this is in the palace of Empress Dowager Lu, and you are not allowed to be presumptuous." There was no sound in her ears, Jiang Linlin was a little panicked, and said sarcastically at Jiang Yingxue.

The inside seemed to be covered by a black cloth, Jiang Yingxue was surprised, and took the initiative to say, "Don't you think it's too quiet?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Linlin felt that everything had lost its voice, and it was cold behind her, and she screamed: "Jiang Yingxue, you are less scary." ”

Jiang Linlin's voice was already sharp, and when she softened, it was like a kitten scratching her heart, and once she shouted loudly, it was like a play with a broken sound.

In this silent and eerie palace, it is more like the screams of the souls who are seeking their lives.

In the main hall, black cloth was enclosed on all sides, and the only light was the burning candles, and even the maids did not dare to make a sound.

Empress Dowager Lu was lying on the bed with her eyebrows locked, with infinite pain in her eyebrows, sweat appeared on her forehead, and she twisted her head uneasily as if she had a nightmare.
