Xiao Meiyi drank two glasses of wine in the main hall, and her face was slightly red.

She stood up and said to the concubine: "The concubine feels that this wine is a little strong, not very comfortable, and wants to go out for a walk." ”

Nianyun nodded: "Go, there is this palace here." ”

When she got up, the concubine told her uneasily: "Don't go too far, just walk around in this West Garden, don't bump into the emperor." ”

Xiao Meiyi came out of the Nanxun Palace, and as soon as the cold wind blew outside, she suddenly woke up. She didn't drink that badly.

Thinking of the mutton just now, she felt a little unhappy in her heart. Knowing that this is the first time she is doing things, she is already very cautious, how do she know that the people below will go wrong in this kind of thing?

Could it be that the concubine intended to harm her? But His Majesty obviously didn't punish her, but punished the concubine Niangniang for three years in front of the civil and military officials.

She couldn't figure it out for a while, so she simply stopped thinking about it.

However, she was very curious about the Emperor, since she had no chance before, no one noticed her at this time, it was a good time.

She didn't even bring a palace maid with her.

Before she came, she specially inquired that Emperor Taishang usually lived in the Xingqing Palace, in the east of the Nanxun Palace.

Xiao Meiyi came out of the apse of Nanxun Hall and saw that there was a door behind it, and it said "Liyuan Gate" on it. After that gate, there was an alley, very deserted.

She looked at the plaques on both sides, one side was the Datong Hall, and the other side was the Xingqing Hall.

Xingqing Hall is really very deserted, it is estimated that everyone went to Nanxun Hall at this time, and there was no sound at all. Xiao Meiyi couldn't help but sigh in her heart, the emperor was too lonely, and if he was replaced by someone else, he would be suffocated to death. At this time, if someone is willing to talk to him to relieve his boredom, it is probably a very pleasing thing.

She slipped in quietly, and saw that the door of the main hall was hidden, and she lay on the crack of the door and vaguely saw that there was only an old eunuch watching in the main hall, it was getting late, and the old eunuch was a little sleepy, constantly bowing his head and dozing off.

The wooden door of the main hall seemed to be some years old, and she pushed it gently, it was very heavy, and if she pushed it open rashly, she might make a creaking sound to wake up the old eunuch.

However, she saw that the back door seemed to be open.

Xiao Meiyi then circled around the hall for most of the time, and went around to the back of the hall, but the back door was not closed tightly, leaving a slit.

She was slender and dexterous, took a deep breath, and slipped through the crack in the door.

The inside of the hall was even more deserted than outside, and there was even a smell of dust, as if no one had lived in it for a long time. She had heard that the Emperor liked to be quiet, but was it so quiet?

She walked a few steps, and felt that her tiptoeing footsteps were still too loud, so she took off her shoes and lifted them in her hands, and tiptoed towards the side hall.

There was no one to guard the side hall, not even a brazier, and it was very deserted. Xiao Meiyi walked forward on tiptoe, and couldn't help beating a drum in her heart.

This Xingqing Hall is too big and empty, and the rustling sound made by the friction of her clothes when she walks can be heard very clearly, which makes her feel strange.

There were no lights in the hall, and the curtains were only slightly opened, making it look very dim. The coldness on the floor came from the soles of my feet through the socks, and for some reason, I just felt that this hall was very eerie and a little creepy.

She has never been a bold person, and she can't help but retreat in her heart.

But when I think about it, isn't there still the Emperor Taishang living here, there are people after all, besides, they have already entered the Xingqing Palace, how can they just return in vain?

She gritted her teeth and took a few steps forward, still without any popularity.

She couldn't help but wonder in her heart: If the emperor wants a tea and snack, he can't take care of it personally?

If you go further inside, you will see the door of the warm pavilion.

She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, the Emperor Taishang should live in that warm pavilion.

She stood in front of the door of the Warm Pavilion.

Looking back at the main hall, there are many patterns painted on the dome, which are old and mottled. Accustomed to seeing the grandeur of Daming Palace, this Xingqing Palace looks like it has been abandoned for a long time. After looking at it for a long time, I felt that the paintings seemed to be coming back to life, and they rushed towards her with teeth and claws.

She forced herself to calm down and looked away, but a fine layer of white sweat was already oozing from her back.

The strange thing is that didn't everyone say that the Emperor Taishang was not in good health and couldn't stand the wind, but why is this hall so cold, and the temperature seems to be a few points lower than outside?

Even if she was standing at the door of the warm pavilion at this time, she didn't feel half a bit of warmth.

She went to push the door of the Warm Pavilion, but the door was just hidden, and it was easily pushed open. There was no brazier in the warm pavilion, it was even colder than in the main hall, and there was a plate of ice on the table!

Xiao Meiyi heard her teeth chatter up and down.

What the hell is going on, could it be that they deliberately abuse the emperor? These people are simply disgusting!

Or is there any conspiracy involved?

There was a strong smell of spices in the room, but it was not ordinary incense, but a strong spicy aroma emitted by a large number of peppercorns and rosin, which stimulated her to sneeze three times in a row.

She was afraid of disturbing the emperor, so she covered her mouth and nose hard.

When she let go of her hand, she found that even with such a strong fragrance, she still smelled a strange smell, unpleasant, something like the mutton that had changed its flavor in the hall before, intertwined with the strong aroma, indescribable, almost disgusting.

She suddenly wondered, could it be that the mutton in the Nanxun Hall before had some strange connection with this house?

Or does the Emperor like this smell?

She wanted to escape, but in the end she couldn't match her curiosity, and with full doubts, she looked intently into the room.

The light was dim, and the lights were not turned on, and the Emperor was alone in the room, wearing a newly-made dragon robe, with his back to her, sitting on a specially made couch. Rao is she had already made a sound, and the Emperor Taishang still did not look back.

Xiao Meiyi resisted the urge to gag, knelt down and saluted, and whispered, "The Emperor." ”

The Emperor didn't move, as if he hadn't heard it at all.

She waited for a moment, and then had to shout again: "The Emperor? ”

Still nothing happened. She held her breath, and the room was so quiet that it was clear that even a pin had dropped on the floor.

Could it be that the Emperor Taishang fell asleep while sitting?

Xiao Meiyi slowly straightened up and walked to the side of the Emperor on her knees, but she faintly felt that the unpleasant smell was emanating from the Emperor Taishang!

She was taken aback and was about to stand up, but accidentally touched the emperor's arm.

It didn't matter if it was touched, the Emperor's arm suddenly hung down, and a piece of rotten flesh actually fell out of his sleeve!

Before she could react, she saw that the emperor's head was suddenly tilted softly, and his face was less than a foot away from her, and his face was almost completely black, showing a terrible state of decay and swelling, the eye bubbles were protruding, and the yellow, yellow and black couldn't tell which was the whites of the eyes and which was the eyeballs, and some unknown liquid flowed out of the nostrils, which was very scary!

"Ahh

A scream resounded through the hall, like a sharp sword, piercing through the silence and coldness of the dust, penetrating the empty Xingqing Palace, and cutting into the eardrums of the old eunuch on duty outside.

The old eunuch was startled, and his drowsiness was completely frightened, and he hurriedly jumped up and ran to the side hall. I saw a young concubine trembling all over, stumbling out of the warm pavilion, losing all her manners, stepping on the skirt of her clothes from time to time, falling to the ground and rolling and crawling, full of horror and screaming.

The old eunuch was so frightened that he hurriedly went to help her, "Which palace is this, why did you run to Xingqing Hall alone, oh my ancestors, eh......"

Xiao Meiyi was frightened by Fang Cai, almost lost her mind, and pounced on the old eunuch, pointing at the warm pavilion in horror, and screaming incoherently: "Dead man...... Emperor Taishang...... Emperor Taishang...... I see...... Dead ......"

The old eunuch was so frightened by her that he hurriedly covered her mouth: "My little ancestor, you must not talk nonsense, you have to lose your head!" ”

Xiao Meiyi struggled with her hands dancing and screaming. The old eunuch hurriedly pressed her hands and feet again, not beware of being bitten by her, and withdrew her hand in pain, and she cried out loudly again.

In desperation, the old eunuch tried his best to pull off a section of her sleeve, stuffed it into her mouth, and squeezed her hands vigorously. But she still kicked and beat her feet indiscriminately, and the old eunuch was so anxious that she shouted: "Someone! Come on! There's a lady who has lost her mind! Help me! ”

At this time, there were no others in the Xingqing Palace, and they all went to the dining room and the Nanxun Hall to help, and no one heard the old eunuch's shouts at all.

This soulless Xiao Cairen was amazingly angry, pushed the old eunuch to the ground, and ran outside the Xingqing Palace, the cloth in her mouth was also torn out by her, she shouted while running, so frightened that the old eunuch sat on the ground for a long time and couldn't get up.

When he came back to his senses, he immediately beat his chest and ran to Nanxun Hall to report to the concubine.

Xiao Meiyi was not very familiar with Xingqing Palace, which would be so frightened that her soul would be scattered, and she would jump around like a headless fly. When she finally ran into the backyard of Nanxun Palace, Nianyun had already gotten the news and brought a few strong palace maids out.

Seeing Xiao Cairen, whose hair was scattered, the left sleeve was still missing half of it, and her demeanor was completely lost, several palace maids immediately pressed her to the ground, and hurriedly found a piece of cloth to plug her mouth.

Before she was restrained, Li Chun also rushed out, and when he saw this, his face immediately became gloomy, his eyebrows were twisted into a pimple, and he asked sharply, "What's going on?"

Nian Yun didn't dare to come out, knelt down and replied: "Xingqing Palace is not full of manpower, so the concubine transferred some of the Xingqing Palace to the dining room to help, who knows that Xiao Cairen broke into the Xingqing Palace by mistake......"

Fortunately, the banquet was almost over at this time, because the Emperor Taishang Dragon's body was not safe, and the event was not arranged for so long, and most of the people had already gone back, which did not cause too much trouble.

Li Chun commanded with a dark face: "Take it to Xingqing Hall first!" ”

Liufu confessed to everyone in the Nanxun Hall on behalf of Li Chun, only saying that His Majesty was drunk and told the rest of the people to use it slowly. After a short time, the group escorted Xiao Cairen and hurried back to Xingqing Palace. Nian Yun ordered people to strictly guard the doors of the Xingqing Hall and not allow others to enter.
