6. There are ghosts in the lake
When Wei Yuxuan came to Yingcui Palace, the palace maids were already in a hurry. The frightened concubine had already fainted, and the palace maids were also frightened, trembling one by one. Speaking of the virtuous concubine, she is also a means, she has only been in the palace for two years, and she has been promoted from a small promise to the position of one of the four concubines, but this promotion will inevitably pave the way for the dead, she didn't believe it, she was unsettled these days, and she only recited the Buddha for a few days, but something happened tonight.
Hong'er, the first-class palace maid beside Concubine Xian, cried with a sad face: "Tonight Niangniang couldn't sleep, said that she was going to go outside for a walk, who knew that she passed by a lake, and saw something on the lake from a distance, Niangniang was curious, and said that she wanted to see what fell into the lake, but ...... "Recalling the scene after that, Hong'er's face became pale again, and her lips trembled: "As a result, that thing floated up and floated up, only to find out that it was a person...... No, no, no, it's a ghost! ”
Wei Yuxuan's brows tightened, as if he was thinking about something, and after a long time, he glanced at the unconscious Concubine Xian, as if he didn't care: "Move Concubine Xian to the side hall and take care of her." ”
"Yes." The palace maids looked at each other, their eyes were full of helplessness, since they had that Ning Guifei, the emperor no longer paid attention to the virtuous concubine, and even the queen mother, who was so gentle to them on weekdays, was beaten into the cold palace. But what's the use of regret, everything can only be decided by this affectionate emperor, not something that a few of their little palace maids can influence.
Wei Yuxuan returned to his dormitory, lying on the bed, but he couldn't sleep anyway, as soon as he closed his eyes, he was all like the woman who didn't know what to do, when he closed his eyes, he could see that she was pinched by himself, he saw her sitting in the courtyard and laughing with a female ghost, and he saw the indifference in her eyes, in short, when he closed his eyes, all he saw was her. Wei Yuxuan turned around irritably, letting himself think wildly, and he didn't know how long he waited before he fell asleep in a daze.
"Don't-" Wei Yuxuan got up suddenly, woke up sweating profusely, stretched out his hand and shook it, not only on his head, but also on his palms and body, all of which were sweaty, and there were some water droplets in the corners of his eyes, I don't know if it was sweat or tears.
He had a dream, dreaming that he was facing Liu Yin, both of them were smiling, Liu Yin looked at him with love, hope, and faint sadness, but he was also smiling, smiling and laughing, he stretched out his hand and pulled out the sword behind him, Liu Yin did not dodge, just looked at him fixedly, and he, trembling, pierced her heart with a sword. As far as his eyes could see, it was red, it was her blood, and he only felt a tingling pain in his heart, and he couldn't help it.
He shook his head puzzled, he didn't know what was wrong with him, how could he have such a grotesque dream, what he liked was Wanwan, but he killed an unrelated woman, how could it be so painful? It must be that he thinks too much, it seems that he has paid too little attention to Wanwan recently, so he still has to go to see Wanwan more, and go tonight.
Liu Yin slept until the third pole of the sun before waking up, and when she opened her eyes, she saw that Chunyu was opening a pair of big eyes, full of curiosity. She touched her face: "What's wrong?" ”
"Nothing, nothing." Chunyu smiled, but she was a little weak in her heart, just now she was thinking, was Niangniang possessed by the pig god, why can't she wake up now! If this is known to the mother, she will not live......
Liu Yin didn't mind, and asked Chunyu to change her clothes, this ancient dress was really difficult to wear, and she hadn't learned it yet. After changing into a simpler outfit, Chunyu put her hair in a bun again, and finally inserted the step shake in her hair. At this time, the willow shade, without powder, has a different style.
Remembering last night's screams, Liu Yin asked, "What happened last night?" Chunyu thought about it carefully: "It's nothing, but the slave maid dreamed of a big chicken leg." Thinking of the aroma of chicken legs, Chunyu swallowed his saliva, I haven't eaten big chicken legs for a long time, and I don't know how the big chicken legs are......
Liu Yin looked at this spring rain that jumped out like a child, and there was some pampering in his eyes: "After a while, let you eat enough!" ”
Chunyu's eyes were shining: "Then the slave will work more and save more money." ”
"This palace can afford to support you!" Liu Yin glared at her, how unambitious, and her eyes had to look forward!
As he was talking, a young eunuch came from outside and walked in with a smile: "Last night, Concubine Xian claimed to have met a ghost, and the emperor ordered the queen to go to Yingcui Palace to investigate the truth and atone for her crimes." ”
Liu Yin received the order and took out a piece of silver naked from his sleeve: "There is Father-in-law Lao, there are no good things in this palace in this cold palace, this bit of silver, father-in-law will take it to tea." ”
The little eunuch accepted the silver, and looked impassive, but his heart was already excited, he had not been in the palace for a few days, and he had received so many rewards, even the lady in the cold palace could give it to him. Thinking of this, he reminded one more thing: "The female ghost showed up in the lake, and now her bones have been salvaged, like a deceased phantom concubine." ”
Liu Yin nodded, and watched him leave, and Chunyu was upset: "Letting Niangniang go to that haunted place is really tormenting Niangniang, and it is obvious that she is bullying Niangniang." ”
"It's not bad, I'll take you to the rise and gain knowledge when the time comes." Liu Yin was full of anticipation and kept chattering. Chunyu didn't know what she was happy about, so she had to give up, and resigned herself to packing her things, but in fact, there weren't many things, and the things in Yingcui Palace were much better than the things in this cold palace.
In the afternoon, Liu Yin and Chunyu came to live in Yingcui Palace, Concubine Xian had not yet reacted from the fright, her eyes were blank, she looked stunned, and when she saw Liu Yin, she just saluted, and did not say any more polite words, and was led out by Hong'er. When she left the door, she said to Hong'er: "She's back, she's coming back to take revenge on me, what should I do?" I don't know what Hong'er muttered, Liu Yin only heard this, her eyes deepened, it seems that there are still some stories in this......
"Chunyu, do you know who this phantom concubine is?" At the beginning, she only learned a general situation from Chunyu, and there were many things she didn't know.
Chunyu was pouring a cup of tea for Liu Yin, and when she heard this, she glanced up at Liu Yin suspiciously, but she still explained carefully: "Speaking of phantom concubines, she was also famous for a while a while ago. "Why did the mother forget about the sensational thing?
"At the beginning, Concubine Xian was pregnant with a dragon fetus, but the fetus was unstable and needed to be taken care of, the phantom concubine Niangniang had just been favored during that time, and she was also pregnant with a child, some of them had no one in their eyes, the two lived closely, and naturally had some suspicions with Concubine Xian, but that day I went to sit with Concubine Xian for a while, and the two quarreled again, and I don't know why, the phantom concubine pushed Concubine Xian, and Concubine Xian's fetus fell."
"And then she threw herself into the lake and died?"
"It's not, it's said, the phantom concubine Niangniang was fascinated by a ghost, and in the middle of the night, she walked to the lake in a daze, and the palace maid in Yingcui Palace saw it."
Liu Yin wondered, this matter is related to the virtuous concubine everywhere, why does no one suspect it?
