Chapter 6 The Secret of the Shrine 3

"Get up, get up!" There was a sound of scolding in his ears, and Yingxian woke up from his coma. In a daze, he saw two men dressed as servants with pale faces and no expressions standing in front of him. One of them dragged himself up from the ground, and without saying a word, took out a wooden lock, snapped and locked Yingxian's hands, and said in a hoarse voice: "It's not too early, we still have to hurry, let's go." ”

Ying Xian was puzzled and asked, "Who are you?" Why lock me up? Where are we going? ”

The servant didn't answer, but stumbled forward with Yingxian, and after walking for some time, several people stepped onto a path covered with gravel. Dark clouds rolled in large streams in the distance, darkening the entire sky. On the side of the road, there were beating green lights, clusters of which seemed to emerge from the ground, and the wind flickered and shimmered, and they were not extinguished. The grass covered most of the road, the wind whined, and from time to time the dead branches of cypress trees fell from the sky while walking. There was no one else along the way. An eerie and poignant aura spread endlessly in the air, causing goosebumps all over his body, and he couldn't help but ask again: "What kind of place is this so terrifying?" ”

One of the jailers snorted coldly, and the other laughed sadly: "Where is it? Soon you will find out. ”

As they spoke, the three of them passed by a hill with high walls. There was an old woman standing at the door of the villa, with white hair and a hunched back, and when she saw Yingxian, her face suddenly showed a kind smile.

"You're here. Come on in. The old woman said, as if welcoming the old man home.

The servant opened the wooden lock on Yingxian's wrist and said to her, "You are also tired, go in and rest for a while." We're waiting for you here. ”

Yingxian followed the old woman into the villa in confusion. The mountain ponds in the village are scattered, the trees are verdant, and all kinds of strange flowers and flowers are in full bloom like spring. Walking into the middle hall of the main room, the eyes are even brighter. Carved colors are depicted everywhere, and the walls are painted with incense. The lanterns are beautiful, the Zhu Lanyu case, and the exquisite furniture is not inferior to the princess's mansion. Yingxian looked at it, and felt even more strange in her heart, and was about to ask, but the old woman led Yingxian to the Taishi chair in the room, motioned for her to sit down, and asked kindly: "Walking such a long way, are you thirsty?" Yingxian couldn't help licking her lips and nodded, "Indeed...... I'm a little thirsty. The old woman showed a peculiar smile and said, "Please calm down and drink some tea, so that you have the strength to hurry." After that, he shouted loudly: "Meng Jiang, Meng Yong, Meng Ge, still don't come out to serve tea to the guests?" ”

I only heard the sound of Huanpei, the glutinous sound was like a warbler's cry, and three young women walked out of the back room. The three of them wore vermilion, emerald green, and rose. The silk skirt dragged the ground, the curves were exquisite, and they were all covered with white silk, and the head was full of beads and hairpins shook step by step, shaking out the bright light like water across the whole house. All of them are bright and beautiful, and a smile breeds charm. The girl in red brought a blue and white porcelain bowl, Ying Ying approached, handed the porcelain bowl to Yingxian, and the three girls said in unison: "Girl, please use tea." ”

Yingxian was dizzy. Seeing that the tea soup was yellow and bright, the aroma came to his nose, he took the tea bowl without hesitation, took a sip, seemed to have a slight dizziness, but felt even more thirsty, so he simply raised his head and drank it all. After drinking, I saw a little muddy mud at the bottom of the bowl. Ying Xian was very strange and looked up. It's good not to look at this, but when I look at it, my heart is suddenly terrified - the old woman and the girl turned into four skeletons at some point, and they stood frozen in front of them, and the cold in the empty eyes came out one after another. Suddenly, there was a great earthquake on the ground, and the beams, pillars, and walls collapsed, and the whole house was instantly reduced to nothing, but the place was a desolate area filled with dark clouds and gusting winds.

"Ah......h......h Belch? Lying in the same bed yourself?

"Are you awake?" saw my sister Yingxue sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at herself with concern, and said happily: "Thank God, you are fine." Scared the hell out of me. Do you know? You almost strangled to death by that crazy woman! ”

Only then did Yingxian react. As far as I can see, what soldiers, paths, villas, old women, beauties, and tea soup are just a nightmare. Looking around, it was a beautiful bedroom. The carved windows penetrate the sun, and the furnishings are very elegant. It must be Yingxue's boudoir. I was still frightened, cold sweat broke out layer by layer, and I couldn't spit out a word for a long time.

The maid Wanyun also walked in when she heard the movement in the house, handed over a cup of clear tea, and said, "Girl, drink requiem tea to suppress the shock." ”

Yingxian was so worried about the nightmare that she didn't dare to take the tea, and said in a trembling voice: "I thought it was ...... I thought I was dead...... It's dangerous. Ying Xue took the teacup from Wanyun's hand and said angrily: "Who told you not to stay in Jingyangzhai Garden?" But you want to run to the palace by yourself? How can this place be wandering? ”

Ying Xian remembered the scene before he fainted, and couldn't help asking, "What the hell is going on?" I saw a middle-aged woman near the Evening Pavilion and when she saw me, she said that I had killed some Huan'er, and then came and choked my neck. After that, I touched my neck, and I felt pain.

Yingxue retreated from the evening clouds and said in a low voice: "You ignorant girl! That woman was no ordinary person. She is Huang Guifei Huang Niangniang, and she is also the mother of the crown prince. ”

"Huh? The Prince's mother? Yingxian was taken aback. It was the prince's mother who wanted to kill herself?

"To be precise, it should be the former prince."

“…… Has the crown prince been deposed? ”

"The prince, that is, Huan'er in Huang Niangniang's mouth, has been dead for four years."

"Ah...... Did the prince die of illness? ”

Ying Xue stood up, put the teacup on the table, returned to the bedside, and said slowly: "The death of the prince is an unsolved mystery in the palace. Some people say that the crown prince was murdered, but it has not been found out who the murderer is. When she said this, a strange look that seemed to sigh and rejoice appeared on her face. Yingxian couldn't help but shudder.

"Why can't you find it? Won't the emperor pursue it? Also, How did the prince die? ”

It's hard to put it into words...... To say that among the emperor's children, the emperor's favorite is the crown prince Situ Huan, who made him the prince very early. But the prince was shot in the heart by a cold arrow in a hunting competition four years ago and died on the spot. ”

Yingxian asked, "Who sent the cold arrow?" Did anyone catch it? ”

"The person was caught, and it was actually one of the prince's personal guards. The man didn't say...... It is not said that everyone is hunting chaotically, and he wants to shoot a deer, but he looks away and misses the prince. ”

"This ...... I'm afraid no one believes him, right? ”

"No one believed it. Of course, the emperor didn't believe it. He captured the guard and put him in the prison to prepare for his own interrogation. Unexpectedly, the man was afraid that he would not be able to endure the punishment, so he avoided surveillance and found a way to commit suicide in prison. ”

"Ah, that's bad...... If someone really instructed him, there would be no proof of his death. ”

"yes. And honestly, is this murder, or is it just manslaughter, as he says? None of this is known. ”

"Alas, I'm afraid the prince's mother can't accept such a result."

Yingxian sighed: "Huang Guifei was originally more expensive than her son, and everyone in the palace had to please her for three points." But as soon as the prince died, she lost her backer, and gradually no one took care of her. Later, probably because she missed her son, she became delirious, and when she saw someone, she said that she had killed her son. ”

Only then did Yingxian understand the reason why Huang Guifei was crying and laughing, but it turned out that she was already crazy. He asked, "She's really dangerous like this...... The emperor didn't think of a way? ”

"The emperor probably also felt ashamed of Huang Guifei, but he didn't deal with it specially. Just let the maids and imperial doctors wait for them. He didn't seem to look at her much. I'm afraid the relationship between the two has long been estranged. Ying Xue paused, and then said: "Just now, the noble concubine Niangniang secretly ran out of the Purple Cloud Palace, was bumped into by you, and launched a madness." Fortunately, the palace ladies arrived in time to stop her. Otherwise, you'd probably already be on Huangquan Road by now! ”

Yingxian shuddered and asked, "Then sister, you say, who is most beneficial to the death of the prince?" It is likely that this person did it. ”

"The most advantageous? Hehe, I'm afraid it's going to be the second prince Situ Xi. ”

"Hmm...... Who is he? ”

"He is the son of the late Concubine Shen Hui...... Also...... is also the younger brother of Princess Wenji. Although he is not a concubine, and he doesn't like the emperor very much, he still has an advantage over the other two little princes in terms of age. However, the emperor was heartbroken that the prince died early, and there has been no new prince yet. ”

Yingxian's heart sank, and he immediately remembered what Situ Su and the Phantom Time Palace had seen, and asked, "What about the queen's son?" Why wasn't he made a prince? ”

Yingxue sighed: "The queen mother did not give birth to a son when she was alive, only two daughters. One of them is Princess Wonhee. After saying that, he stared at Yingxian, and his eyes dissolved with a strange meaning. There was silence in the room for a moment. Yingxian brought his face closer, but saw his figure in Yingxue's shaking eyes. It seems to understand something, and it seems to understand nothing.
