Chapter Seventy-Two: The Woman in White
Since then, it has been rumored in the palace that every midnight, there will be a woman dressed in white like a fairy dancing.
Until one night, in the Biyun Palace, the candle flame had long been extinguished.
In Concubine Shu's bedroom, only a rustling wind was heard. When the palace maid who was keeping watch saw that the window was open, she no longer had any doubts and wanted to close the window, but she clearly saw a woman dressed in white dancing in the courtyard. was frightened, and woke up the lady concubine.
"Kite, what's going on?" The lady asked unhappily.
"Mother, mother, the legend of that woman is true, you, you see." The kite was so frightened that she couldn't speak clearly.
The lady shook her head and walked out of the window, but before she could look out the window, the woman in white fell into her bedroom. She asked a little panicked, "You, who are you?" ”
"Sister, sister, take a closer look at the palace, it's me, it's Jin'er." The woman in white turned around slowly, and said in a faint voice.
After seeing this woman's appearance, Concubine Niangniang was not only not afraid, but also shouted excitedly: "It's actually Sister Jin'er." ”
"Yes, Sister Yun'er, my sister died unjustly, His Royal Highness the King of Hades saw me pitiful, so he let me come back to take revenge, and then go to reincarnate as a man. My sister misses her sister a little, so let's see if my sister is doing well. The woman's voice was a little ethereal, so frightened that her legs trembled, and she didn't dare to move at all. On the contrary, Concubine Niangniang was not afraid, but looked teary-eyed, which made people feel no pity.
"Sister, my sister misses you very much. I don't know who made my sister like this, is it the Yuan Emperor's concubine? My sister persuaded my sister many times, but my sister just didn't listen, and in the end she couldn't escape the catastrophe. My sister had to go deep into the palace for the sake of my sister. The lady asked regretfully.
"Sister, I've suffered you for so many years. If it weren't for the Queen Mother praying in the temple, I wouldn't have been able to come back. The hour has come, the palace is leaving, come back another day......" In the blink of an eye, the woman disappeared in front of the eyes of the concubine. And the voice of the voice was getting farther and farther away, which made Concubine Shu shudder.
After the woman in white left the Biyun Palace, she stood outside and shouted, "Mo'er, call it a day." ”
That's right, the woman in white these days is pretending to be Murong Xi and Mo'er. Actually, it's not a pretend, because that's Murong Xi's original appearance, but he just took off his mask. In the past few days, Murong Xi would come out for a walk in the middle of the night. Specially find a place where there are people to float by, otherwise how can it be spread in the palace.
After returning to the palace, Murong Xi changed his appearance when he entered the palace.
Mo'er said: "Miss, do you still need to go to Concubine Shu's Biyun Hall tomorrow?" ”
"No need to go. The next performance will be handed over to Concubine Shu, let's wait to see the excitement, and when we appear, we will naturally not be able to pull you down. Murong Xi said with a wicked smile.
At that time, Emperor Yuan and Concubine Yuan would definitely be the first to be afraid of Yuan Jin'er's appearance. As the saying goes, don't do bad things, don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on the door.
Sure enough, early the next morning, after the lady got up, she went to greet the Queen Mother first.
Because of last night's incident, it has already spread throughout the harem.
After the Queen Mother summoned Concubine Shu, she asked, "Concubine Shu, what happened last night?" ”
Concubine Shuniang said with a smile: "Back to the Queen Mother, the concubine began to think it was a dream?" As a result, it was so real, even the palace maids around me could see it clearly. ”
Concubine Shu told the Queen Mother about last night's scene, and then continued: "The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother said that she was killed to death, not a simple childbirth. However, she has not been able to come back for so many years, and it is because of the Queen Mother's blessings every year that she was able to get out. The concubine and the queen were also sisters at the beginning, but they didn't expect to see the mother in their lifetime. The concubine was very excited, and the concubine ...... said, and the tears of the concubine passed across her face, and the queen mother who saw it was sad.
The queen mother likes and pities the queen from the bottom of her heart, who will kill the queen? The Queen Mother had some doubts in her heart, but she never said it.
And after Concubine Shu returned to Biyun Palace, the emperor also followed.
"Lady Princess, what you said is true? Did you really see Jin'er? The emperor asked with some excitement.
"Back to Your Majesty, Yun'er doesn't dare to lie." Concubine Shu lowered her head and replied obediently.
When the emperor saw such a concubine, he didn't say anything, but just threw down a word to come to see her at night and returned to the Heart Cultivation Palace.
Concubine Shu's words naturally came to the ears of Emperor Yuan's concubine word for word, she originally had a ghost in her heart, and after hearing about this, she said with some concern: "Mama Yan, what do you think of this matter?" ”
"Niangniang, the words of the ghosts and gods seem to be true or false, you must not believe it. Maybe the lady said this on purpose, you don't have to take it to heart. Mama Yan said comfortingly.
Emperor Yuan nodded and said no more. She knew something was wrong, but she was really scared.
These days have been unusually calm, and the woman in white doesn't seem to appear anymore. However, for a few days in a row, Emperor Yuan's concubine seemed to have nightmares, always muttering something in her dreams. Every time, I was covered in sweat and woke up in the middle of the night.
At this moment, she was leaning on the chaise longue with dark circles under her eyes and thinking about something, and when Mama Yan saw such a concubine, she sighed and said, "What is on Niangniang's mind?" ”
"Mama Yan, you know that the palace has not rested well these days, and you always think about the events of the past. The main palace is afraid of ...... "afraid that things will be revealed."
"Niangniang, the person involved in this matter is long gone, you don't have to take it to heart." Mama Yan reminded.
"This palace knows, you go down first, this palace is a little tired." Emperor Yuan's concubine drove everyone out and leaned on the couch herself.
That same night, the woman in white reappeared.
This time she appeared in the bedroom of the Yuan Emperor's concubine, she didn't speak, just walked and danced in the hall. When Emperor Yuan woke up, she also saw her dancing. Emperor Yuan Guifei panicked and hurriedly asked, "Who are you?" Why in the main palace? ”
The woman didn't speak, and she didn't look at the Yuan Emperor's concubine. It's just that he is dancing the familiar dance steps by himself.
At this time, Emperor Yuan's concubine shouted hysterically. The palace maid heard the voice and broke in, and after lighting the candle, she asked, "What happened to Niangniang?" ”
"Are you blind? Don't see it? She, here she came, right there. Emperor Yuan said in panic with her eyes in her eyes.
However, after Huan'er looked around, she didn't see anyone, so she said, "Niangniang, look at it, there's nothing?" Are you dreaming? ”
"Dreaming?" Emperor Yuan Concubine muttered to herself, could it be a dream just now? Yes, the woman didn't speak, she just danced in the hall.
"yes, Niangniang must be dreaming." Huan'er soothed.
Emperor Yuan stopped talking, lay down behind her, and continued to sleep.
But the next few days were like this. What made Emperor Yuan's concubine lose her temper was that no one else could see it, only she could see it. Because Emperor Yuan's concubine was in Xianfu Palace all day long, she didn't know that she was rumored to be crazy outside.
That night, the Yuan Emperor and Concubine saw the woman again. Emperor Yuan didn't speak, and looked at her quietly. However, what she didn't expect was that she was actually different from the past, turned around, and gently walked towards the Yuan Emperor Guifei, and said gently: "Sister, sister, did you remember Jin'er." Ha ha. ”
Emperor Yuan Guifei saw the woman's face clearly, Yuan Jin'er! Suddenly frightened, he took a step back. Then he said, "You, who are you, and why are you pretending to be a god?" Hurry up and report your name, otherwise this palace will be unkind to you! ”
"How should my sister be polite to Jin'er? That's right, you're welcome. Otherwise, Jin'er wouldn't be standing here talking to her sister today. Looking at my sister's complexion, it must be that she has had a good time over the years. Sister, Jin'er misses you very much. Sister, will you come to accompany Jin'er? ”
'Yuan Jin'er's tone of voice was very playful and gentle, but it made Emperor Yuan and Concubine feel a little cold.
When she wanted to say something, she saw that 'Yuan Jin'er' was gone.
Of course, she didn't call the palace maid to come in, anyway, it was in vain, and no one else could see it except her.
For a few days, the emperor would come to Concubine Shu's bedroom, just waiting for Jin'er to appear. Concubine Shu wanted to speak to the emperor and stopped. The emperor saw that Concubine Shu seemed to have something to say to herself, so he asked, "Yun'er, do you have something to say to me?" ”
"Your Majesty, you also know that the concubine recently met the queen's mother, and the concubine naturally wants to talk to her sister. However, the concubine heard that she seemed to be sick with the Yuan Emperor's concubine. Xianfu Palace often reported that the Yuan Emperor Guifei always shouted hysterically in the middle of the night, and the concubine thought, is it that the queen mother misses the Yuan Emperor Guifei very much, so she went to Xianfu Palace? Why don't you accompany the emperor and the imperial concubine tonight? Perhaps, you can see the queen mother. The lady asked timidly.
Yuan Xin'er is sick? Could it really be that Jin'er is back?
The emperor nodded and said, "It's okay." He was now eager to rush over to see if the dancing woman was Jin'er.
A smile appeared on the face of the lady concubine, and then she accompanied the emperor to the bedroom of the Yuan Emperor and the concubine.
The palace people of Xianfu Palace were stunned when they saw His Majesty and Concubine Shuniang, and then wanted to report, but the emperor said: "No need to report, I heard that Emperor Yuan's concubine was sick, so I brought Concubine Shu to visit, you should retreat." ”
After speaking, he took Concubine Shu into the Xianfu Palace.
As soon as I reached the door of the dormitory, I heard a voice from inside.
"Sister, are you not happy to see Jin'er? Hasn't my sister always loved Jin'er? ”
Hearing the voice of 'Yuan Jin'er', the emperor wanted to rush in regardless of it, but was stopped by the emperor by the lady concubine, she shook her head at the emperor, and told the emperor to hold back first.
"Yuan Jin'er, you damn it!" Emperor Yuan said viciously.
"Hehe, did my sister forget? I was dead. "'Yuan Jin'er' said gently.
