Gu Banqin nodded and asked Bi Geng to hurry up, she wrapped her mink cloak and continued to walk towards Lihua Palace.

Liu Wu's courage has always been very small, and when she heard Bi Geng say that there were ghosts in the palace, whether it was true or not, she felt scared, and subconsciously leaned towards Gu Banqin, and asked Gu Banqin in a low voice:

"Mother, there can't really be a ghost, right?"

Gu Banqin turned her head to look at her pale little face, and couldn't help laughing.

"I heard that a ghost can scare you into such virtues? Look at Shinobi grass, why is she not afraid? You're timid. Is there any ghost or monster in this world, has anyone really seen it? Ninja grass, have you seen what a ghost looks like? ”

Liu Wu glanced at the ninja grass, only to see the ninja grass recalled, Gu Banqin shook his head: "Okay, okay, don't think about it, someone has really seen a ghost, and it is also a dead person, and the ghost is not stupid, it is stupid to let you see it, and I won't take you away?" ”

Gu Banqin's words made Liu Wu even more frightened, and Shinobu finally recalled: "Aunt Liu in our village has seen it before, saying that when she was walking at night, she passed by the grave and saw several ghost fires, and many ghost shadows were standing at the grave, she ran back to the village with her eyes closed, and within two days, she hooked the ghost and became crazy." ”

Shinobu either didn't speak, and as soon as she opened her mouth, she gave goosebumps to the catkins, and she couldn't stop stomping her feet, as if she could shake open what was entangled in her.

Gu Banqin wanted to explain to them what this ghost fire was, but she didn't know how to make them understand that there is phosphorus in the human body.

Walking all the way to Lihua Palace, the catkins and ninja grass behind her muttered all the way behind her, although the catkins were afraid, but they were surprisingly interested in this kind of horror story, and chased after the ninja grass to ask her about the crazy woman in the village.

Ninja grass is obviously also a rumor from others, and the rumors are amazing, as if there are really ghosts and monsters in this world.

Gu Banqin naturally didn't believe it, shook her head all the way and walked straight forward, Liu Wu and Nincao followed her not far behind, and they were together and exchanged heads.

Gu Banqin turned a gazebo, and suddenly felt a gust of wind sweeping behind her, she looked back, but saw nothing, the pavilion was empty, the sun was setting, and the scene on the path began to be depressed.

Gu Banqin looked at the two who were still muttering in the distance, and couldn't help shouting:

"Hey, you two are going to go on like this, it's getting dark. It's time for a ghost to come out. ”

If it was true, let the catkins spread their feet, and the rabbits scurried over.

Gu Banqin saw the catkins and ninja grass running towards her, so she didn't wait for them, turned around and turned into the path by herself, and after passing through this bamboo forest path, she could reach the road in front of Lihua Palace.

This is the shortcut that Gu Banqin finds when she walks every day, but she walks on the bluestone slab in the bamboo forest, but she hasn't found the catkins and ninja grass coming, and then she looks back and waits for a while, but there is still no one at the entrance, Gu Banqin was stunned for a while, and then she felt that something was wrong.

Just as she was about to turn back, she felt a chill behind her back, and a dagger overflowing with cold light hit her neck.

Slowly lowered her head and looked at the dagger in front of her neck, as long as the sharp knife edge was sent one centimeter further, it could successfully cut her artery......

Swallowing her saliva, Gu Banqin tried to adjust her mentality. This person has enough ability to kill her with one sword, but he didn't do it, which shows that Gu Banqin has use value. Since it is valuable, what Gu Banqin has to do now is to calm himself down.

"You're smart."

A voice came from behind him, it was deliberately suppressed, in this quiet, only the sound of the wind in the bamboo forest seemed a little ethereal and terrifying, Gu Banqin licked her lips, swallowed her throat, and after thinking about it, she said:

"I ...... I don't ask who you are, I don't turn to look at you, you just tell me, what can I do for you? ”

Since he praised Gu Banqin for being smart, Gu Banqin couldn't be too stupid, when he was in danger, it was taboo to forcibly look at the murderer's face, and Gu Banqin understood this truth.

There was no sound behind him, Gu Banqin looked at the sky, and said: "If the strong man has anything, just say it directly, although this forest is clean, but there will be people passing by in a while, where you want to go, or what you want to do, you can tell me, as long as I can help you." ”

Gu Banqin's words made the people behind her let out a sullen laugh: "I don't want you to do anything, I just want to ask you about your mother......"

Before she finished speaking, Gu Banqin felt pushed behind her, she was so shocked that she quickly covered her neck, and then she didn't dare to move.

After a while, two or three people ran in at the entrance of the bamboo forest, and the leader was the tall and tall Bi Geng, and the catkins and ninja grass finally rushed over.

Seeing them, Gu Banqin reacted, hugged his neck, and slowly turned back, where was there a figure. Bi Geng hurried over to Gu Banqin and asked, "Niangniang, did you see a black shadow?" ”

Gu Banqin nodded, pointed behind with his fingers, Bi Geng chased after him, a team of imperial guards came over, and protected Gu Banqin, Liu Wu and Nincao said to Gu Banqin:

"Niangniang, the palace is really not clean. Earlier, the slave maid and the ninja grass seemed to see the corner of the mother's clothes flashing in front of us, we chased the corner of the clothes, but we didn't see anything, but we happened to meet Commander Bi, you, are you okay? ”

Liu Wu saw that Gu Banqin had been holding his neck, and asked anxiously with concern, Gu Banqin was sure that there was no injury on his neck, so he put his hand down with palpitations, stroked his heart and shook his head: "It's okay, it's okay." Scared the hell out of me. ”

"Mother, you can see it with your own eyes this time, it's really terrifying."

Liu Wu thought that Gu Banqin said that he saw a black shadow, which was a ghost or something, and he was so frightened that he was about to cry, and a guard came over to Gu Banqin and said: "Niangniang, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, and my subordinates will escort Niangniang back to the palace." ”

Gu Banqin looked at the dozen or so young guards around her, nodded again and again, and didn't dare to linger for a moment.

After returning to Lihua Palace, the imperial guards stood guard around Lihua Palace, Helian Hongyi learned the news, left the envoy and came to visit Gu Banqin, I heard that Gu Banqin was frightened, and as soon as she entered the door, she pulled Gu Banqin up and down to see if she was injured.

Gu Banqin flipped around with him, and only after he finished turning it did he speak: "You said that the palace was safe before, but now you can enter the palace casually, it's too terrifying." ”

It's really terrifying, if that person didn't want to talk to her today, but wanted to kill her, then now Gu Banqin is already a corpse, and it's scary to think about it.

Regarding Gu Banqin's complaints, Helian Hongyi was duty-bound, pulled her to the warm couch, sat her down, and asked, "Have you seen that person's appearance?" How tall is it? How old are you? ”

Gu Banqin shook her head, not to mention seeing her appearance, she didn't even dare to turn around.

"What about the voice? Did he speak? Helian Hongyi asked.

Gu Banqin nodded: "I spoke, but I lowered my voice." ”

Helian Hongyi squinted his eyes and said coldly: "If you deliberately change your voice, it means that this person is afraid that you will hear it, and it should be someone you have seen." ”

This reason is the first time Gu Banqin has heard it, thinking about it, if that person doesn't know her, then why do you want to do something like changing your voice.

"What did he say?"

Helian Hongyi seemed to have an answer in his mind, but he didn't talk to Gu Banqin carefully, but continued to ask.

Gu Banqin thought about it, because it involved the Duan family, she hesitated to tell Helian Hongyi, but even if she didn't say it, she should be able to find out with Helian Hongyi's ability.

He said worriedly: "That man said something very strange, and I didn't hear it very clearly, as if he mentioned my mother...... But as soon as he mentioned it, Commander Bi chased after him, and the man ran away, and I didn't listen to the rest of the words. ”

Gu Banqin's words made Helian Hongyi fall into deep thought, Gu Banqin looked at Helian Hongyi's reaction, and had some doubts in his heart, why didn't Helian Hongyi feel strange when he heard that person mention the Duan clan?

Did he know something?

I didn't know the bottom of my heart, Bi Geng heard that Helian Hongyi was here, so he asked to see him outside the hospital, Helian Hongyi let him in, and he went to the cloister, and when he saw Bi Geng coming empty-handed, he knew that he didn't catch up.

"That person's body is extremely fast, and there is more than one person, obviously he came prepared, and the minister chased in several directions, and finally ran away for him."

After Bi Geng reported this, Helian Hongyi pondered for a moment and ordered: "Bring some forbidden troops and secret guards over to guard Lihua Palace, Concubine Xian is timid, don't let people scare her anymore." You go to the Taiji Hall with me, and I have something to say to you. ”

After Helian Hongyi arranged the affairs of Lihua Palace, he hurriedly led Bi Geng away, Gu Banqin looked at the back of their departure, and always felt that Helian Hongyi must know something.

He sent someone to protect Lihua Palace, which means that the black shadow may come back and continue to come to her for what she didn't finish just now.

Gu Banqin was so nervous that she didn't even dare to sit on her favorite recliner in the yard, and even ate in her bedroom to eat.

learned from the catkins that Gu Banqin was as timid as a mouse, and couldn't help but joke with her: "On weekdays, it looks like the sky is not afraid of the earth, but there are times when you are afraid?" ”

Gu Banqin was reading a book on the warm couch, and could have gone to bed early, but she was inexplicably uneasy, and wanted to wait for Helian Hongyi to come over, and listen to him tease herself like this, Gu Banqin did not show weakness:

"What do you still say, I always brag about how safe the palace is guarded, I'm just from Cining Palace to Lihua Palace, and it doesn't add up to a quarter of an hour's journey, and I actually met an assassin, what kind of character am I?"

Helian Hongyi untied his cloak and belt by himself, walked to Gu Banqin's feet, lifted a little thin felt, covered his legs, and put the belt on the coffee table next to Gu Banqin, and said: "Yes, I can't escape the blame for this matter, I was indeed negligent, fortunately you are fine, if something happens to you because of this, I will really regret it." ”

Gu Banqin didn't mean to blame Helian Hongyi, hearing him blame himself so much and admit his mistakes with a good attitude, she naturally wouldn't stare at this matter, and asked him: "Looking at you before, it seems that you know something, do you know who the black shadow that Commander Bi has been chasing is?" ”
