After Concubine Wang Xian was put into the secluded palace by two palace maids, Concubine Qinggui Lian moved lightly, walked in front of Concubine Yan, bowed and bowed, "Concubine thanked Niangniang for her help." ”

Concubine Yan looked tired, just a simple nod, Qing Guifei raised her eyes and peeked at it, "If Niangniang has no other instructions, the concubine will retire first." ”

"Okay."

When Qing Guifei and her party walked away, "Concubine Yan" breathed a sigh of relief and turned to the winter solstice who was holding her and said, "Fortunately, you pinched me just in time, otherwise I really wouldn't have reacted." ”

The winter solstice was also pinched in a cold sweat just now, and there was usually illness as a pretense, but no one took it seriously even if the summer solstice didn't speak, but now it's different.

Hearing her say this, Dong Solstice pinched her arm again and whispered, "Shhhh ”

"Concubine Yan" that is, Xia Solstice, subconsciously stood up straight, glanced left and right, and coughed pretendingly, "Winter Solstice, let's go back." ”

Halfway through, I happened to meet Bai Luoyan, who was covered in blood, and when I saw him, both of them wanted to salute in unison, and when Xia Zhifu was halfway through, he was stopped by an arrow, "Don't worry, I'm fine, sister don't worry." ”

Hearing him emphasize the word sister, Xia Zhi also came back to his senses, Bai Luoyan was followed by a small group of people, and saw her clasping her fists and saluting, "I've seen Concubine Yanniang." ”

"Excuse me," Xia Zhi waved his hand, "You soldiers have worked hard, are you just retreating from the city gate?" Go and rest! ”

Several soldiers of the forbidden army also saw that this "Concubine Yan" had something to say to Bai Luoyan, so they all left first.

When the people walked away, Xia Zhi nervously pulled Bai Luoyan to hold her hand, a deep wound on the back of her hand was still bleeding, and this wound was still extending upward, "Young Master, it's better to go back to the Liuying Hall with the slave maid, where ......"

Bai Luoyan raised her hand to stop her words, withdrew the hand she was holding, and took a few steps back quietly, "You are now a "Concubine Yan", you have to look like a "Concubine Yan", and the military doctor will deal with this injury." ”

Xia Zhi noticed his movement of pulling away from him, a little gloomy, but his face was not obvious, "Yes, slave...... Hongu understood. ”

"Okay, let's go back if it's okay, whether the harem can be stable depends on you," Bai Luoyan looked at the winter solstice who had not spoken from beginning to end, "You have a more stable temperament, take a good look at her." ”

"No," Dong Solstice bowed his head, raised his eyes and glanced at Xia Zhi's somewhat hesitant appearance, sighed, and stepped forward to hold her, "Niangniang, there are still some palace affairs in the palace that have not been handled, let's go back!" ”

It seemed to be lightly supported, but in fact, it was the winter solstice that dragged her forward, and Xia Zhi also understood that the situation was anxious now, and Gu was not too stubborn, so she followed the trend, so she didn't see Bai Luoyan looking back behind her.

The palace was safe for the time being, but the small village in the lower reaches of the Yuhe River outside the city was terrified by the large number of floating corpses floating downstream.

The first one I found was Aunt Li, who was washing clothes by the river, and when she was washing, she saw a good gold silk belt floating in front of her, and when she went to pick it up, she found that the gold belt seemed to be hooking a very heavy thing and couldn't be pulled.

Aunt Li looked at it from the eyes of a peasant close to the imperial capital, this gold silk belt is a good thing, and it doesn't matter if the people in the city lose one or two, but in their place, whoever has such a belt has a big face.

Thinking about the son who was about to marry a daughter-in-law at home, Aunt Li secretly glanced around, and after making sure that no one was looking at this side, she was ruthless, gritted her teeth, took off her shoes and socks, lifted her trouser legs, and groped along the gold silk belt while stepping on the water, but found more silk on a hard thing.

Soon Aunt Li realized what it was, and in an instant, there was no blood on her face, and as soon as her hand was loosened, the golden silk belt quickly sank a section, surrounding the water snake that seemed to roam leisurely.

Before she could react, a cold hand suddenly grabbed her ankle, and Aunt Li retreated in shock, and fell into the water at once, screaming hoarsely, and kicking her feet non-stop.

The other washerwomen, who were some distance away, thought she was drowning, so they hurriedly surrounded her and grabbed Aunt Li and dragged her to the shore.

When they arrived on the shore, someone suddenly reacted, "Aunt Li, what are you doing?" This is the river, and the water is not even up to your knees! ”

A young daughter-in-law laughed, "I can't see that Aunt Li is still afraid of water." ”

Aunt Li was surrounded by so many people, and she was a little relieved, but she was still incoherent, "Water ghost! There are water ghosts! Something grabbed my foot, I went to pick up the belt, there was something underneath! ”

Seeing that they didn't seem to believe it, Aunt Li lifted her two feet, and one of them had a shallow fingerprint on her ankle, "Look, the fingerprints are still there!" ”

Looking at that fingerprint, the people around him turned pale with fright.

Some old people are superstitious, "There must be a water ghost who is unwilling to find a substitute." ”

"We're not afraid of being old, I heard that water ghosts are looking for good-looking young ones."

The young daughter-in-law was so frightened that tears came out, and she complained with a crying voice, "Auntie, don't say it, it's scary!" ”

"Eh, look over there!" I don't know who shouted, everyone looked over, only to see a floating corpse slowly floating down upstream.

"Ahh

All the women ran to the village in a panic, and threw their clothes away by the river.

When the women had disappeared, their pale hands, which had been wet, stretched out of the water and climbed to the shore.

After a while, a group of old and young masters ran to the place where Aunt Li said with hoes, shovels, and sickles, and one of them dared to ignore the old people's obstruction, went into the water to touch it, and only found a soaked corpse, which frightened the man and threw the corpse back as soon as he let go.

"Ah Zhuang, come back quickly, be careful to let the water ghost hook up!"

As soon as he was told this, the man named Ah Zhuang suddenly felt a chill in his vest, and hurriedly rushed back to the shore, "Ah Niang, I guess there may be an accident in the city, it is estimated that there will be officers and soldiers coming soon, let's leave it alone, pack up, let's go home!" ”

Seeing everyone go to get their clothes, Aunt Li found that the clothes were gone, and exclaimed, "Clothes-water ghosts-"

Everyone gathered around again, only to see that the clothes that Aunt Li had washed were gone, and there was a watermark next to it, which may be a psychological suggestion, and the more I looked at it, the more it looked like it was printed by a person.

For a while, everyone scattered again, and when they went back, everyone decided that it was better to have more than one less, and if the officers and soldiers came to ask, they would say that they didn't know.

This village in the lower reaches is a good geographical location, close to the imperial city, and backed, there is a big river in front of it, and with people coming and going, this village has become rich even with it.

In the dark night in the woods, there was a little fire dancing in the wind, and by the fire, there sat a woman with a pale face, looking like a ghost.

This female ghost is Bai Suyan, before she was in a daze and grabbed a little hot before, and she was kicked and beaten before she came to her senses.

When they returned to the village, she went ashore and took the freshly washed clothes by the way, but her own package was washed away by the water.

Barely holding herself up, she ran into the woods, found a leeward cave to rest, and when she took out the beeswax from her nose, she almost fainted from the stench of her body.

As a woman, such dirt was unbearable, and after Bai Suyan felt her strength regain, she went deep into the mountains and forests, and found a waterhole in a low-lying area along the low vegetation.

After trying the depth, he took off his clothes until the skin on his body was torn, looking at the red all over his body, Bai Suyan looked up at the sky, thinking that he couldn't delay any longer, so he put it on regardless of whether the clothes he had just washed were dry or not.

She found a stick and walked back, picking up some firewood along the way and returning to the cave.
