Chapter 138: White Fingers
Meng Xiao is not a loss to Meng Xiao, she said that she does not believe in ghosts and gods, even though she has seen Zhou Jinhuan put her hand into the oil pot with her own eyes, her eyes are bloody and tearful, but she still came to Changle Palace again.
The two said something as usual, and Zhou Jinhuan's expression was as usual, but his hands were kept behind his back, as if there was something unsightly, and such an action fell in Meng Xiao's eyes.
"Sister Zhou, didn't sleep well yesterday, and her face didn't look very good?" Meng Xiao said tentatively, Zhou Jinhuan shook her head lightly: "No, Jinhuan slept until dawn, and Lao Niangniang was worried." β
"To be honest, my sister has always been afraid that Sister Zhou is still hostile to me, and I am always uneasy, this amber and lapis lazuli bracelet is a rare thing for foreign tribute, seeing that Sister Zhou likes cyan, I gave this bracelet to Sister Zhou, okay?"
The amber lapis lazuli bracelet is very beautiful and low-key luxury, but ......
Seeing Zhou Jinhuan's hesitation, Meng Xiao walked up to her in a few steps, with a slightly injured expression on her face, which was quite similar to her: "Sister Zhou still has a grudge against her sister?"
"No, where did Niangniang go, my Changle Palace is an ominous place, Niangniang can come here for a few days in a row, for Jinhuan, this friendship is really rare, it's just ......" Her face was a little pale, tears rolled in her eyes, she sighed, and then took out her hand from behind her back, it was a pair of very slender and white hands, and the cardamom on her nails pierced Meng Xiao's eyes: "How is it possible, how can it be ......"
"What is Niangniang talking about, what could it be?" Zhou Jinhuan pretended to be very innocent and asked, Meng Xiao noticed her gaffe, and hurriedly said: "It's nothing, it's just that Sister Zhou gave birth to a pair of beautiful hands, which makes my sister very envious......"
Meng Xiao said while putting the bracelet in Zhou Jinhuan's hand, the bracelet just fell into her palm, she "lost" the thing on the ground, in fact, it can't be said to be "lost", she didn't take the bracelet at all, the bracelet just slipped through her palm, and fell to the ground, before Meng Xiao had time to scold her, she shouted "Ah", the sound was very sharp, as if she was stabbed by a sharp weapon.
As expected, her screams provoked onlookers from the palace, and Meng Xiao's first reaction was to get angry, isn't this ruining her reputation, and then she felt that something was wrong, so she let everyone retreat.
"Bold Zhou Jinhuan, what does this palace do to you to make you react so violently?" This was originally very serious, but when I said it, I felt that there was something strange.
"Jinhuan didn't mean it, it was just ......" Zhou Jinhuan stopped talking, Meng Xiao eased up, and said angrily: "If you have anything to say, just say it directly." β
"It's really not Jin Huan's intention, Jin Huan doesn't know what's going on, it's clear that she was fine yesterday, but when she woke up today, she felt ......" Her words stayed in the key place, Meng Xiao had a not-so-good association, and muttered: "What do you think?"
"I feel as if my hand has been blown up by something, it hurts a lot, and even getting dressed is an hour slower than usual, but my hand is obviously good, it is not injured at all, Jin Huan has asked the imperial doctor to see, but it is useless. Seeing that Meng Xiao's face was getting worse and worse, a subtle smile rose at the corner of her mouth, stretched out her hand to Meng Xiao, and continued: "Niangniang, look at Jinhuan's nails, they are obviously the same red as DancΓ΄me yesterday, but I don't know why Jinhuan always thinks of blood unconsciously, and you see that my nails are the same as yours, but I don't know why Jinhuan always feels that the nails are particularly brittle, as if they will disappear when you touch them......"
"Concubine Shu, it's really Concubine Shu, otherwise her hand has been tumbling in the oil pot, how can it be as good as ever, it's really Concubine Shu's ghost coming......" Meng Xiao stared at Zhou Jinhuan's hand, her eyes seemed to have lost her soul, and she only saw her mouth moving, but her ears seemed to be deaf, and she couldn't hear anything.
Wen Zhu, who was still careful, discovered her abnormality, helped her up, and said to Zhou Jinhuan: "Miss Zhou, my mother is a little uncomfortable at this time, so I will go back first." β
They walked in such a hurry that they almost tripped over the steps of some age when they left the palace gate.
"Girl, is this time over?" Su Wan walked out from behind the screen and also saw Meng Xiao's embarrassed side.
"At least for some days, she won't dare to come to Changle Palace again. "Yes, now that things are settled, she should be happy, but why is her mood still a little heavy?
"Who are the girls still worried about?" Su Wan handed her the bracelet that fell to the ground, she took the bracelet, and said with a wry smile: "I already have the most beautiful colorful bracelet in the world, how can this kind of thing be in my eyes?"
She once promised Xiao Jingzhi that she would carry the colorful bracelet in the future, just like he once promised her that he would take her wherever she went in the future, but they all missed the appointment.
"Girl, now Concubine Xian and Concubine Li will not come to Changle Palace to find trouble, what about Concubine De, she is very soft, she should not be ......"
There will never be a more wishful thinking word for "should" in the world.
However, after going through so many things, the reputation of Changle Palace is outside, if it is then Concubine De, she should not come to this troubled water again, right?
In fact, the reason why she didn't do anything to Concubine Qian Yanran was very simple, she didn't know Qian Yanran.
Zhou Caiwei is the heroine in the novel, the whole novel revolves around her, Zhou Jinhuan knows her very well, and although Meng Xiao does not appear in the novel, after several contacts, the two are destined to become friends, so it is better to pull into this incident and let her become a chess piece of her own.
There is only Concubine Qian Yanran, and Zhou Jinhuan has no understanding except that she has seen her useless brother and knows that she used to be Zhao Yu's concubine. The two of them in the palace didn't say a few words, so they naturally didn't dare to do it easily.
"Girl, what if Concubine De comes to our palace again?" Thinking of this possibility, Su Wan felt a little sorry for Zhou Jinhuan.
"What can we do, naturally the soldiers will come to block the water and cover the earth, now we are in the dark, they are in the light, we have nothing to fear. I don't know if it's been too much trouble lately, but after standing for a while, she was a little tired: "Wan'er, you go and tell the kitchen to make some white porridge." β
Here, Zhou Jinhuan just lay on the bed, and over there, Meng Xiao just returned to the Chaoxia Palace.
"Niangniang, you speak, what should you do like this?" Since returning to the Chaoxia Palace, Meng Xiao has been staring at the front in a daze, and her eyes have not moved, which frightened Wen Zhu, tears fell down, and there were obviously some six gods without a master.
"What's the matter, why don't you invite the imperial doctor soon?" The voice was Concubine De's mother, Wen Zhu reacted and was about to salute, Qian Yanran waved her hand and was about to ask but was stopped by Meng Xiao: "You don't know, there are really ghosts in Changle Palace, I watched Zhou Jinhuan's slut's hands rolling in the oil pot, and the blood and tears flowing from his eyes...... It's the yin ghost of the lady concubine who is haunting, so even if her hands have been fried in the oil pan, even if the palms of her hands are so crisp that they can be broken when you pinch them, they are still the same as us ordinary people, it's like this, it turns out that there are really ghosts ......"
Meng Xiao's words were full of words "I" and "you", which was unruly, but it was obvious that she was delirious at this moment.
Qian Yanran clearly saw the deep fear in Meng Xiao's fluttering eyes, how much she didn't believe in ghosts and gods at the beginning, how deep the fear in her heart was at this time.
"Don't be afraid, you tell the palace, what did you see and hear?" This is the purpose of Qian Yanran's trip, and the Zhou Jinhuan she saw in the palace seemed to be different from the one she had seen in the palace before.
"The hand reached into the oil pot, blood and tears flowed out, and there was a sour and rancid smell, as if it was emitted by a corpse, yes, it was Concubine Shu's corpse, it must be Concubine Shu's ghost who controlled Zhou Jinhuan, and she didn't have many days to live, hahaha......" Meng Xiao laughed as she spoke, and Qian Yanran, who was on the side, frowned without missing a trace, got up, and instructed Wen Zhu: "Help your mother to the bed first, let the imperial doctor take a good look, and the palace will come back tomorrow." β
"Congratulations to Concubine De. Wen Zhu still has tears on his face, a slap face, I feel pity.
"Niangniang, that concubine is the most unbelieving person in the palace, why is there such a big reaction this time?" Thinking of Meng Xiao's crazy appearance, Zijuan shuddered.
"You forgot your words, that Zhou Jinhuan was the princess of the former dynasty who could launch the palace change, and her wrist was naturally very powerful. Unexpectedly, Qian Yanran suddenly thought of the summer two years ago, and her hands clenched.
That day, she walked through the lotus pond in a fuchsia gauze skirt, and happened to bump into Zhou Jinhuan in a fuchsia shirt, no, it was Princess Gaoping with golden branches and jade leaves at that time.
"Dare to wear clothes of the same color as this palace, this dog slave should be beaten, come to someone, give her a long lesson, come to a thirty board, right?" Since it is Zhao Yu's concubine, she is naturally closer to the palace, and the palace has always been strict with herself, so let's add twenty more, and make up fifty boards. β
......
Qian Yanran can't forget the pain she brought to herself in her life, and she is determined to take revenge!
But how hateful, now she is a high-ranking concubine, she is just a sinner of the former dynasty who has no rank, but she seems to have forgotten herself, as if she doesn't know herself at all, so she looks down on people so much?
Thinking of this, Qian Yanran tore the silk handkerchief in her hand at once, and the sound of silk tearing made the anger in her heart be vented slightly, and under Zijuan's distressed gaze, she smiled: "It's not our turn to make a move now, the most taboo ghost and god in the palace, someone will find fault for us, what we have to do is to fan the flames." β
"What Niangniang said is ......" Zijuan pointed in the direction of Fengzao Palace, and a fierce light suddenly appeared in Qian Yanran's soft eyes: "No matter how skilled a person is in acrobatics, there is a time to play off, isn't it?"
