The palace of the new lotus kingdom, the court.

At night.

"See Lotus Noble."

When Yanyu left Wenyuan Pavilion with Phantom Lotus and came to the gate of the Yeting Cold Palace area, the two royal guards on duty saluted respectfully.

"Excuse me, I'm not here to see anyone, but to go to the light shadow building in the northwest corner of the court, I wonder if any of you can help me show the way?"

Yanyu stretched out his jade hand and raised it lightly, motioning for them to get up, and asked politely.

In fact, it stands to reason that as a noble person at the moment, there is no need to be so polite, and it is completely possible to order these two royal guards to lead the way directly.

The reason why Yanyu would so politely ask for the opinions of the two royal guards in front of her was because the light shadow building she wanted to go to had been a terrifying ghost building since ancient times.

It is said that in the light shadow building located in the northwest corner of the Yeting Cold Palace, there used to be a lady in charge who made a big mistake, and her name was Chu Yingxuan.

This Chu Yingxuan's identity was the head of the Queen Mother's Palace, who was generous and decent, wise and shrewd, and was deeply appreciated by the Queen Mother back then.

And she is also very sympathetic to the weak, and often helps those eunuchs and palace maids who are always bullied and honest, loyal and kind, so she is very popular in the palace and has won the respect of those eunuchs and palace maids with low status.

But because of this, he offended a lot of narrow-minded and arrogant masters, after all, these masters relied on the favor of the emperor at that time, and they often beat and bullied those lowly eunuchs and palace maids, and Chu Yingxuan always stood up to seek justice for those eunuchs and palace maids.

If it weren't for Chu Yingxuan's more sensitive identity and being the most favored lady in charge of the Queen Mother's palace back then, I'm afraid she would have been killed by those narrow-minded masters who would repay her.

Although they hated Chu Yingxuan to death during that time, they didn't dare to risk offending the Queen Mother to harm Chu Yingxuan.

No, not long after the unfortunate death of the Queen Mother, she was inexplicably sentenced to death by the angry emperor for brutally killing a three-year-old prince.

However, Chu Yingxuan claimed that she was framed, and she dared to swear to the sky that she would never kill the little prince, but she couldn't come up with any evidence to prove her innocence.

Although on the afternoon of the day before the execution, many eunuchs and palace maids in the palace who had been taken care of by Chu Yingxuan spontaneously wrote to the emperor, begging the emperor to retry the case, so as not to wronged the good people, but they were still rejected by the emperor.

At three o'clock in the afternoon of the next day, when everyone thought that Chu Yingxuan would definitely die, they did not expect a dramatic change to occur, that is, the emperor suddenly issued an order to stop the execution.

said that the queen mother dreamed of him last night, pleaded for Chu Yingxuan, and begged the emperor to save her from the death penalty in front of her, but the living crime is inescapable, that is, to imprison her for life in the light shadow building in the northwest corner of the cold palace.

Although Tuomeng's statement is a bit illusory, the emperor, who has always been filial, is still unwilling to disappoint his late queen mother, so he unprecedentedly withdrew the original holy decree that sentenced Chu Yingxuan to death, and completely reissued a holy decree in accordance with the Queen Mother's words.

That is to send Chu Yingxuan directly from the execution ground to the light shadow building in the northwest corner of the Yeting Cold Palace, and she will not be allowed to leave for the rest of her life.

originally thought that although Chu Yingxuan would not be free in the future, she still saved her life after all, so the eunuchs and palace maids who had received Chu Yingxuan's favor were also relieved, and they were also looking forward to the day when they could help Chu Yingxuan avenge Zhaoxue, and she would be able to regain her freedom again.

Unexpectedly, not long after she was imprisoned in this remote and dark attic, she committed suicide by hanging herself because she couldn't think about it.

As soon as this news came out, it also caused an uproar in the palace.

Those masters who have always hated her are naturally happy to get what they want.

And those palace maids and eunuchs who believed that she was framed were deeply sorry for this.

Just when everyone thought that this matter was over, who knew that something even more bizarre and strange happened, that is, when the eunuch who was in charge of collecting the corpse went to the Light Shadow Building to carry Chu Yingxuan's body, he didn't expect a gust of wind to blow, and suddenly the sand and rocks flew away, covering the sky and the sun, and soon the entire Light Shadow Building became dark, and he could barely reach out his fingers.

After about a quarter of an hour, the wind and sand stopped, and the light shadow building gradually brightened.

It's just that what stunned those eunuchs was that the body of Chu Yingxuan, the master who was originally hanging on the beam, actually disappeared!

What frightened the eunuchs even more was that when they looked around, they found a creepy phenomenon, that is, it was normal for them to look at the shadows behind others, but if they turned their heads to look at the shadows behind them, they saw two shadows!

In addition to its own shadow, there is a slightly fainter shadow next to it, and this somewhat less obvious shadow is actually a shadow that looks like a hanged death swaying back and forth.

In other words, looking at the two shadows on the ground will make everyone feel that the corpse of the disappeared lady in charge is actually beside them!

It's just that I can't see myself, I can only see her shadow.

This sudden change also frightened the eunuchs who collected the corpses on the spot, and they all turned their heads and fled in all directions, and quickly fled from the Light Shadow Building in a panic.

Subsequently, this strange thing quickly spread throughout the palace and also reached the ears of the emperor.

So, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation of this matter, but every group of people who came in to investigate ran out with pale faces.

After that, not only will they be incoherent, but they will also be seriously ill, no matter how they are interrogated, they can't say clearly, the only thing they can hear clearly is a faint shadow, and some kind of hanging female ghost and the like.

Over time, the emperor also felt that it was not a way to investigate like this, so he simply sent someone to close all the entrances and exits of the Light Shadow Building, and since then it has become a forbidden place for the cold palace of the court.

Since then, the light shadow building has become an extremely mysterious and terrifying place in everyone's hearts, almost to the extent of talking about the tiger's color change.

After that, many years later, although everyone had forgotten Chu Yingxuan, the former mother-in-charge. But the legend of the ghost building of the light shadow building has been handed down.

In fact, the statement that the light shadow building is a ghost building, Yanyu heard it soon after entering the palace, and at that time it was just a trumped-up legend, and he didn't really take it to heart.

After all, there are some unbelievable legends in the ancient palace, which is normal, and the light shadow building itself is located in a remote corner of the Yeting Cold Palace.

For millions of years, I don't know how many concubines and palace maids have been unjustly killed in the cold palace, so it is not uncommon for a ghost building to appear.

But the reason why Yanyu was able to come here at this moment and plan to enter the Light Shadow Building was because she suddenly had the idea of coming here to find out after the secret conversation between Wenyuan Pavilion and Master Shirong of Wenyuan Pavilion University before.

It turned out that after Yanyu followed Lord Rong into the secret room of Wenyuan Pavilion for a detailed discussion, she learned that there were a batch of ancient paintings and ancient books unearthed from the ancient tomb that she needed to help translate.

It is said that this batch of unearthed cultural relics is of great significance to the reconstruction of the new lotus country, so the emperor does not meet is also very important, some time ago he also offered a heavy reward in the country, hoping to introduce a capable person who is proficient in exotic languages from the people to help translate this batch of ancient paintings.

And Yanyu was recommended to the emperor but did not meet, so the emperor did not meet him, so he deliberately used his sedan chair to send Yanyu to Wenyuan Pavilion in person.

When Yanyu looked at the words on the ancient paintings, he was even more surprised and surprised!

Because she knew all those ancient words, it was the text of the Lotus Immortal Kingdom, and she belonged to the princess of the golden-crowned black-tailed frog royal family of the Lotus Immortal Kingdom, so it was really easy to recognize these words.

When Yanyu clearly replied to Mr. Rong that he had confirmed that he knew these ancient words, Mr. Rong was also very happy, and hurriedly turned around to prepare pen, ink, paper, and inkstone.

It's just that what makes Yanyu deeply puzzled is that she has been imprisoned in Chuxiu Palace for the past year and is not allowed to go out, and she has lost contact with the outside world at all, so she really can't think of anyone who will recommend her to the emperor to translate this ancient painting and ancient book.

And how did the person who recommended her know that she could recognize the Lotus Immortal Kingdom script? For Yanyu, there are very few people in the entire Lotus Kingdom who know that she is the princess of the golden-crowned black-tailed frog royal family, and except for the Phantom Lotus beside her, everyone else has long lost contact.

And Phantom Lotus will never go to the emperor to recommend her, because Phantom Lotus is her personal palace maid, no matter what she does, she will be consulted before doing it, so Phantom Lotus cannot be the person who recommends her.

When Yanyu asked suspiciously who recommended her to the emperor, Master Rong, who returned to the secret room after taking the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, also said with a confused face that he didn't know either.

However, after calming down and thinking about it carefully, Yanyu suddenly remembered the ghost bird, that is, the little seagull that only she and the emperor could see, but the emperor could not see the little seagull, but he could not understand its bird language, but Yanyu was able to talk casually with the little seagull.

Therefore, Yanyu has reason to believe that it must be the little seagull who recommended her to the emperor, so she was specially sent to Wenyuan Pavilion in this royal library today.

After figuring out the reason, Yanyu was also very grateful to the little seagull, and she knew in her heart that in the future, maybe the little seagull would be the best partner for her and the emperor to pass on the news in private.

Since the emperor does not attach so much importance to these ancient paintings and ancient books, Yanyu is naturally very willing to help his beloved Jun not encounter worries and solve problems.

So, she also sat down in the secret room and began to translate those ancient paintings and ancient books one by one, and Master Rong was also extremely excited to record them one by one.

In this way, the two of them have been busy for two hours, and even dinner is sent to the secret room to eat, and only then did they preliminarily classify this batch of ancient paintings and ancient books, and translate one of the ancient books.

As for the rest, at the suggestion of Lord Rong, they planned to complete all the translations within three months, and then submit them to the emperor for review.

In view of Yanyu's initial recovery from a serious illness, it is not suitable to be too tired, so although Lord Rong still wants to continue to let Yanyu translate the next ancient book with great interest, he has to give up.

After all, today's lotus nobleman Yanyu is the emperor's favorite concubine, if her phoenix body is tired, presumably Lord Rong will not be able to explain to the emperor.

So when he first arrived, Lord Rong let Yanyu go back to the palace to rest.

It's just that after Yanyu left Wenyuan Pavilion, he didn't want to return to Zhongcui Palace to rest, but took the Phantom Lotus straight to the gate of Yeting Cold Palace.

And I hope that the royal guard on duty at the door can take her to the Light Shadow Building.

The reason why Yanyu was suddenly interested in this legendary ghost building was that he wanted to go to the terrifying ghost building on this dark and rumbling night.

That's because the ancient book she translated before mentioned the Light Shadow Building......
