Recently, Xie Lan has frequently dreamed about things in Meizhuang, and heard the innocent dead souls muttering joyfully.

He even saw that the hundred miles of merlin had been burned to the ground by a raging fire, which reflected the clouds on the horizon the color of fire.

Someone was telling a story in his ear, but he could never hear it clearly.

When I woke up, I had almost forgotten the scene in my dream.

He walked down the South Street in a trance, and when he looked at the people coming and going, he forgot for a moment where he had come from.

The snow has stopped, and spring is coming!

is still the royal capital in his memory, but he is no longer the person he used to be.

For some reason, he remembered a conversation with Xuan Jinhuan again.

"Is my funeral grand?"

"Of course, everyone knows that you are dead."

"That'······ It's really great! ”

Xie Lan is dead, that's really good!

He could only laugh at himself.

Xuan Jinhuan made a human skin mask for Xie Lan, and Xie Lan sat in front of the bronze mirror and let Xuan Jinhuan fiddle with him on his face; After a long time, Xuan Jinhuan finally showed a satisfied smile, and let Xie Lan open his eyes and look through the bronze mirror: "Look, what do you think?" ”

Xie Lan tried very hard to look at the completely unfamiliar face in the bronze mirror, very incredulous: "This, it's me?" ”

Xuan Jinhuan nodded: "Naturally." That way, even people who knew you well in the past won't recognize you. ”

"Really?" Xie Lan was suspicious, so he stood up and reached out to cover Xuan Jinhuan's eyes, and then let go, "Guess who I am." ”

Xuan Jinhuan sneered: "I made this human skin mask, I probably don't recognize it." ”

Xie Lan pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, feeling that this feeling was too unreal, she reached out and touched her face carefully, for fear that she would accidentally tear this face and look cautious.

Looking at the stranger in the bronze mirror again, Xie Lan still felt a little relieved for no reason.

He looks too much like Emperor Chengji, and now he finally doesn't look like anyone else.

"You'll feel a little uncomfortable when you first put on this human skin mask, but you'll have to get used to it. And it's best to take it off every day before going to bed. Xuan Jinhuan instructed.

Xie Lan nodded: "Okay, I wrote it down." ”

Xuan Jinhuan looked at him again, and silently recorded the appearance of this face in his heart.

When she went out with this unfamiliar face again, Xie Lan felt much more comfortable, and she no longer had to be as frightened as before; He was reborn again and became a different person.

Perhaps in order to prove that no one could recognize him anymore, Xie Lan was crazy and shook his face in front of those who had known him before, and even appeared in front of Xie Ye in such a grand manner.

Xie Ye was even more depressed than the days after Ning Yanyue's death, as if he was a completely different person from Xie Ye, who was radiant and radiant after meeting Miss Yue Tong in Yong'an.

Naturally, Xie Ye wouldn't recognize him either, so Xie Lan was completely relieved.

Xuan Jinhuan watched Xie Lan like this coldly, she knew that Xie Lan had suppressed too many emotions in her heart, and only by letting him vent everything like this could she be a normal person.

Be a normal person! What a wish!

It wasn't until Xie Lan was finally bored that he was finally familiar with the face on the human skin mask.

He sat in front of Xuan Jinhuan, looked at her and asked, "What am I going to do after that?" ”

"Don't do anything." Xuan Jinhuan shook his head and said.

Sometimes, even if they don't do anything, stupid prey will come to the door on its own.

I heard that something happened in the palace recently, and it was a lot of trouble.

Since Mrs. Yan "died of illness", the person who managed the harem was Mrs. Chu, the mother of Xie Xuan, the king of Jin; But recently, Emperor Cheng Ji spoiled a palace person next to Ning Ji for some reason, and that palace person was pregnant. There has been no prince or daughter born within the palace walls for more than ten years, so although the palace person was from a humble background, Emperor Chengji was still overjoyed and canonized the palace person as Xiaoyi.

Mrs. Chu looked down on Feng Xiaoyi, who was born as a palace maid, and felt that seeing her was a self-surrendering identity; However, for this reason, she targeted Ning Ji everywhere, thinking that Feng Xiaoyi could benefit from the holy favor, but in fact, Ning Ji was behind the scenes, and even felt that the young and beautiful Feng Xiaoyi was deliberately launched by Ning Ji to try to divide her holy favor.

The result was a very unexpected accident, Feng Xiaoyi fell into the water, and one corpse and two lives.

Feng Xiaoyi's appearance was just a short-lived woman in the deep palace, but her death set off a storm. Some people testified that Feng Xiaoyi was actually deliberately pushed into the water, and the person behind the scenes was Mrs. Chu.

Mrs. Chu cried in front of Emperor Cheng Ji and told her grievances and asked Emperor Cheng Ji to investigate the matter thoroughly.

Emperor Chengji agreed, but he still grounded Mrs. Chu in the palace first, and asked Ning Ji to take charge of the affairs of the six palaces.

And this time, the palace carried out a large-scale investigation, but it also found some very secret things.

At that time, the person in charge of the inventory of the Huanyi Bureau was a Yongan secret guard who had been hiding in the palace for more than 20 years, and she found a very strange person in the Huanyi Bureau, and then carefully investigated this person, and found that this person's identity was very suspicious.

The person with a suspicious identity is an old palace maid in the Huanyi Bureau, who has been sent to the Huanyi Bureau for twenty years; Because of her ugly appearance, the people in the Huanyi Bureau called her an ugly slave.

Because the Huanyi Bureau is generally a place where the palace people who have made mistakes are served, each palace person will be sent here with a detailed record of what crime they have committed.

However, the strangeness lies in this, the old palace maid who was called an ugly slave, she actually has no official record, as if she should not be a person in this palace.

The people who checked it thought it was strange and suspected that she had escaped into the palace from outside, so they wanted to detain her.

However, the aunt in charge of the Huanyi Bureau said that the ugly slave was not a person of unknown origin, she was originally supposed to be a person in the palace of the former queen, and was sent to this Huanyi Bureau by the former queen's henchman Xiao Female Officer twenty years ago. Because of her ugly appearance, and no one would come near to talk to her, no one knows her name to this day, but calls her an ugly slave.

So there was an inexplicable extra person in the palace, and no one noticed it for twenty years.

But now no matter who asks her, the old palace maid bows her head and doesn't say a word, and it seems that she has become mute.

"This woman is so ignorant of what is good or bad, perhaps she is a fine work sent by a foreigner. It's better to arrest her back and torture her, and then you can ask for it. Someone said so.

"If you force her to speak, maybe she will climb on others indiscriminately." The person who checked said with an expressionless face, and when he heard this, all the palace maids of the Huanyi Bureau, including the aunt in charge, took a step back, for fear that they would be slandered by the ugly slave.

However, since the aunt in charge said that she was originally a person in the Xuanhou Palace, she also made the people who checked it have an extra mind, thinking that if she was really Xuanhou in the past, she might still be of some use, so she was not directly imprisoned in the inner cell.
