Chapter 31 Huang Xue's speculation
After wandering around the Yaohua Palace for a while, Huang Xue's heart moved, so she went out with the spring equinox, and walked all the way along the path of tracking the monster last night, wanting to see where the monster escaped outside the palace last night.
After walking all the way, they walked straight for half an hour, and they never saw the palace wall that stopped them last night. Huang Xue frowned, looked at the surrounding buildings, could it be that she was in a hurry last night, and she didn't see it really in the dark, and then walked for another quarter of an hour, only to see that the road was divided into two, one turned to the left, and the other continued to move forward. Huang Xue clearly remembered that she had not turned a corner last night, so she continued along the road ahead.
After walking for a while, I suddenly saw a stone wall, there was a closed stone door on the stone wall, and the stone door was written with three big characters of "Yongshou Palace", and there was still a palace and a stone tower behind the stone wall.
Huang Xue was taken aback, if there was such a scene, it would be impossible for her to be without the slightest impression last night. So he asked the spring equinox to summon a waiter who was passing by, and Huang Xue asked, "Where is the front?"
The attendant replied: "If you go back to Su Meiren, the front is the Yongshou Palace, and before that is the Queen Mother's bedroom. But the Empress Dowager of this dynasty has long since died, and this Yongshou Palace has long been abandoned, and it has not been inhabited for seven years. ”
Huang Xue asked, "Is this stone gate so closed day and night?"
The attendant said curiously: "This stone door was closed by the king's own hand seven years ago, and it has not been opened for seven years. If the Sumers want to go in, it is a little inconvenient, and they still need the king's decree. ”
Huang Xue nodded and asked the attendant to retreat, but the horror in his heart had reached the point of no return.
Could it be that the thing about catching demons with Gongming last night was just a dream? Otherwise, it really can't explain the path in this palace, and how can such a big change occur. But the things in the dream are so real and vivid, but they are really indistinguishable.
Her heart moved, for the sake of today's plan, it still needs to be confirmed, but she already has an idea in her heart.
Hurried back to Yaohua Palace with the spring equinox, and after lunch, Huang Xue went out to inquire about the spring equinox, and learned that the king of Shang was going to the study to review the chapter at this time.
In the current situation, the best way to confirm whether last night was really a dream is to find out where the Shang King went last night.
In this era, the management of the harem was not as regular as after the Han Dynasty, and there were not many concubines of the Shang kings, and there was no system of "turning over the brand" in later generations. Where the king of Shang wanted to stay at night, he came casually, and no one else knew it. If you want to find out the whereabouts of the King of Shang last night, you can only ask the King of Shang's personal entourage, or ask the King of Shang directly.
Not long after she entered the palace at this time, the personal entourage of the king of Shang was not yet familiar, so she asked rashly, which aroused suspicion, but it was easier to ask the king of Shang directly.
Let the spring equinox bring some pastries, and she asked the waiter to lead her to the study.
King Shang was in a good mood, and he was also very happy to see Huang Xue. He put down the piece in his hand and said, "Why is the beauty here?" I was about to go to Yaohua Palace to find you after reading this piece. ”
Huang Xue saluted and said: "When the concubine saw that the king was working on political affairs, she asked her to make some pastries and send them to the king to taste." ”
King Shang smiled: "The beauty has a heart." ”
Huang Xue asked the spring equinox to offer the pastries, and his own attendant took the tasting, and after tasting it well, it was placed in front of the king of Shang.
The king of Shang ate some pastries, said a few words of gossip casually, and said: "I see that the beauty is not as radiant as before these days, but she is not used to living in the palace, and she does not rest well at night?"
Huang Xue was still thinking about how to ask about the whereabouts of King Shang last night, and said casually: "The king said that he really misses his mother a little, and he can't sleep these days and nights. ”
King Shang said with a smile: "The beauty has just entered the palace, and it is normal to miss her parents, and after a while, I will send a decree to let your mother come to the palace to see you." Last night, I saw that you slept soundly, and you were still talking in your dreams in the morning, but I didn't know that the beauty still had such a heart, but I was negligent. ”
Huang Xue replied: "The concubine thanked the king for his thoughtfulness. But there was a storm in his heart again, and the king of Shang actually said that he spent the night here last night!
The facts are clear, I was really dreaming last night. But when the king of Shang came, he never knew about it, which was too unbelievable. It must be known that this is the son of heaven of a big businessman, and it is definitely impossible to be like an ordinary husband, seeing that his wife is asleep, he sleeps on the side without saying a word.
Thinking of this, she considered her wording for a while, and then asked, "The concubine has not been in good spirits these days, but I don't know this....... Is it a pleasure to serve the king this night? Speaking of this, even if she came from the modern era, she couldn't help but blush thoroughly. That's her, and I can't ask anyone else.
When the king of Shang heard this, he was stunned for a while, and then saw her little daughter's shy demeanor, and burst into a burst of laughter. ”
Sure enough, Huang Xue's worst fears appeared. Even if she really dreamed last night, no matter how well she slept well, it was impossible for her to be ignorant of having sex with the Shang King.
In this way, could it be that the king of Shang was also dreaming when he went to her palace at night? Otherwise, it would be difficult to explain such a strange thing.
But if this is the case, then was the king of Shang also dreaming when he came to his palace a few nights ago? In this case, could he be dreaming when he was favored a few nights ago?
Thinking of this, she was terrified in her heart, and she had no intention of chatting with the king of Shang anymore. Then he spoke: "I talked to the king, and my mind is better." At present, the concubines are a little tired, so please go back to the palace to rest again. ”
King Shang waved his hand and said, "Since the beauty wants to rest, then go back to the palace, I just finished reading these pieces today." By the way, the beauty is not in good spirits, there is still a treasure in this palace, but the beauty does not know, just to help the beauty rest. ”
Huang Xue said absentmindedly: "I don't know what treasure the king is talking about?"
Shang Wang said: "The plum blossoms in the palace are different species, called undefeated plums, and they bloom all year round without withering." This flower was also transplanted this year, and it is the most effective way to nourish the mind and help sleep. You call someone to pick some and boil it into soup, which can help the beauty rest. ”
Huang Xuexin was no longer here, so she saluted and said: "The concubine thanked the king for the reward, and the concubine retired." ”
After that, he hurriedly took the spring equinox back to Yaohua Palace.
At this time, she was anxious that there was still an important thing to verify.
hurriedly wrote a letter and handed it to the spring equinox, ordering her to send it to Huang Yan of the Wucheng Palace.
An hour later, Huang Yan came to the outside of Yaohua Palace with the spring equinox and a woman over forty years old. The woman was blindfolded and looked a little nervous.
The woman and the spring equinox waited outside the palace again, and Huang Xue called Huang Yan in alone.
Huang Yan looked a little nervous, and asked softly: "Ah Xue, what happened?" Why did you call Wen Po less than ten days after entering the palace, but ....... Happy?"
Huang Xue Zhengse said: "Sister Yan, things are not as you think. You should send Wen Po in alone first, I have something important. I'll tell you more about it when I get to the bottom of it. ”
Huang Yan saw that Huang Xue was so solemn, so he didn't ask any more, went out and brought Wen Po in, and went out on his own.
After a quarter of an hour, Huang Xue summoned Huang Yan and the spring equinox, and with a solemn face, she asked the spring equinox to send Wen Po out of the palace, leaving Huang Yan to discuss with her how to deal with it.
Unexpectedly, the suspicion in her heart turned out to be true, she was still a virgin! These days and nights for the king of Shang, she was still a virgin!
Combined with her previous experience, now the facts are very clear, since she entered the palace, the king of Shang dreamed of meeting her every day, Huang Guifei, Concubine Yang and she all dreamed of meeting with the king of Shang every day, she thought of Zhao Gongming before going to bed yesterday, and met Zhao Gongming in a dream at night, by the way, there is also the spring equinox, he dreams of meeting his parents every day. But in fact, at night, nothing happened, everything was just a dream.
Also, after the dream, every woman in the palace will become more and more emaciated, and the attendants should be affected somewhat, but the man is unharmed. Of course, the man in the palace is just a merchant king, and the attendant should not be considered a man.
The only explanation is that there is a monster in the palace who can make everyone dream at night, dream about what is in their hearts, and then absorb the essence of the women in the palace, making the women more and more emaciated.
In the palace of the Great Shang Dynasty, there is such a demon, which is really unbelievable.
Huang Xue put the matter together and asked her to help think of some solutions. Of course, Huang Yan's thoughts are that he refuses to believe it, just that Huang Xue is suspicious, which is a normal person's reaction. In order to prove that her spirit was normal, Huang Xue had to beg Huang Yan to stay in the palace for one night, and what she said would naturally be confirmed.
On this night, Huang Xue asked the spring equinox to arrange for Huang Yan to stay in the side hall. Originally, according to her intentions, Huang Yan could live in the main house with her, and she would have a good care, but Huang Yan was afraid that the king of Shang would come at night, so he resolutely refused to allow it.
Huang Xue had just fallen asleep when she was woken up by Huang Yan. Huang Yan said that he believed Huang Xue's words and wanted to visit the palace with her at night.
After experiencing the previous events, she naturally knew that it was a dream, so she only said that she would go to bed first and talk about it tomorrow, but she refused to get up. Huang Yan couldn't afford to call Huang Xue, so he had to go to rest first.
After a night, Zhao Gongming never came, but it once again confirmed Huang Xue's guess.
When she got up in the morning, Huang Xue asked Huang Yan if she came to find her last night, Huang Yan shook her head and said no, Huang Xue nodded, and she already knew it in her heart.
Huang Xue asked Huang Yan what he dreamed of, Huang Yan's face turned red, but he refused to say anything, but Huang Xue already had the answer in his heart.
It seems that this monster's ability is really weird, and it is actually able to read the subconscious in other people's hearts, and weave a real dream from this.
The things that Huang Yan and the spring equinox dreamed of were so unbelievable that even they couldn't believe it, so when they woke up, they knew they were dreaming.
And the things that King Shang, Huang Guifei, and Concubine Yang dreamed of were all logical, so they all thought it was true.
But the strangest thing is that if it is subconscious, then how could Huang Xue dream of the Shang King? Could it be that what she is subconsciously thinking is ....... No, this question is too toxic to think about.
After experiencing last night's incident, Huang Yan also believed Huang Xue's speculation, so he discussed countermeasures with her.
