Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Slender Hand Is Bloodstained for the First Time
"Who? Come out! Nangong Heng let go of the cold moon, and then asked vigilantly.
A little palace maid trembled and came out from behind the rockery, "Cheng, Chengwang, slave, slave didn't ...... anything" Before she could finish speaking, she was knocked on the back of her neck by Nangong Heng, and she fainted instantly.
This sudden accident made Han Yue's whole person sober up a lot, she looked at Nangong Heng, and her clear eyes were dyed with a slightly nervous look.
"This person can't stay." Nangong Heng said, his voice without a trace of waves, as if he was saying that the moonlight was so good tonight.
"I can't stay...... You mean kill her? Cold Moon was shocked.
"Hmm." Nangong Heng gave Han Yue an affirmative answer.
"But it's up to you to do it." After Nangong Heng finished speaking, he pushed the unconscious little palace maid in front of Han Yue.
Cold Moon was shocked, "Me? She looked at the little palace maid and couldn't bear it, the little palace maid was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and she was clearly still a child, "But she was still a child, perhaps, she didn't hear anything." ”
"Perhaps?" Nangong Heng smiled condensedly, "There is no possibility in me!" If you want to blame her, she can only blame her own bad life and hear something she shouldn't have heard. From the moment she heard these words, she was no longer innocent. You have to remember that if you don't want to be a mermaid, you can only hold a knife in your hand. After Nangong Heng finished speaking, he pushed the fainted little palace maid a little closer to Han Yue. In his opinion, Hanyue was still a little weaker, which is why he forced her to grow up so much. If the heart is not ruthless, how can you gain a foothold in the palace?
Even though Han Yue couldn't bear it in her heart, Nangong Heng's words were like a slap in the face. She slowly stretched out her hand to take the little palace maid, her hands trembling slightly. She struggled for a moment, and finally her heart was crossed, her eyes closed, and she let go and pushed the little palace maid into the Yuluo Lake. The lake splashed with a huge splash, and the ripples rippled in circles, and for a long time, it fell silent.
"Huh? Sister Ruan, aren't you looking for Sister Liu? Qu Zhixu saw that Ruan Mingting had come back alone, and asked with some doubts.
Ruan Mingting's smile was a little reluctant, "Well, I didn't find it, Sister Xu Liu went for a walk elsewhere." ”
"Oh, I guess it's going to be fine. Sister Ruan, sit down and watch this acrobatic performance, it's wonderful. It is said that this is a very famous team. Qu Zhixu said.
Ruan Mingting was pulled by Qu Zhixu and sat down, but she was absent-minded at the moment.
When Liu Yuanzhi returned to the banquet with Han Yue and Zi Mo, everything was the same at the banquet, no one noticed her leaving, and Qu Zhixu and Ruan Mingting beside her were also talking to themselves.
"Sister Liu, you can be regarded as back, you just missed a pretty wonderful acrobatic performance." Qu Zhixu said very regretfully, "Sister Ruan is too, and she didn't come back until she was halfway through the acrobatics." ”
Ruan Mingting also left the table? When Han Yue and Liu Yuanzhi heard Qu Zhixu's words, they looked at Ruan Mingting with some nervous expressions. Ruan Mingting hurriedly explained to Liu Yuanzhi, "I also felt a little drunk just now, so I went out for a walk, I thought of going to look for you by the way, but I didn't find you, so I came back first." Ruan Mingting was clearly smiling, but after a closer look, this look was really strange.
Hearing Ruan Mingting's words, Han Yue and Liu Yuanzhi both breathed a sigh of relief. "I just went a little farther on a whim." Liu Yuanzhi smiled slightly, but her mind was a little trance.
Everyone was still immersed in singing and laughing, but these people were thinking about their own things and had no thoughts.
Perhaps because she drank too much wine, Han Yue felt a little headache since she came back from the banquet, so she also left behind all the things that disturbed her mind. It just so happened that it was Qingli's turn to be on duty in the Linhua Hall today, Qingli did things properly, and she didn't need to worry about Hanyue, so she went back to the room with Zimo early to rest.
The leakage was longer, the night was as cold as water, and there was silence in the Dayue Palace at midnight.
For some reason, the air became viscous, and the cold moon could clearly feel the air around me surging like water, which was very oppressive. There is no wind at all, but the curtain is swinging on its own, which makes people feel extremely weird. Suddenly, all the candles in the house went out with a bang.
Han Yue's heart was a little uneasy, she looked at the bed on the side, but the bed was empty, "Zi Mo? Zimo, where have you been? She called Zi Mo's name, but no one answered. She got up and got out of bed barefoot and walked around the house, but she didn't even see the slightest shadow of Zi Mo, as if she was the only one left in the whole room.
Suddenly, Hanyue felt a shadow flash behind her, and she immediately turned to look, but there was nothing behind her. Endless black, with endless fear. A feeling of trepidation came over me.
Hanyue turned around again, and the sight before her made her shudder. Behind her stood a woman in a cloak, stiff, and dressed in pink. Her black hair covered her face, and she couldn't see her face clearly, but at this moment, Han Yue could clearly feel that her eyes were staring at her coldly like the dark night, and a cold shiver spread from her back all the way to the top of her head, and even her scalp became numb.
Cold Moon was terrified, she involuntarily stepped back, but unexpectedly tripped over her own foot, she didn't stand firm for a moment, and fell heavily to the ground. She watched as the woman in pink was walking towards her step by step, her whole body wet, leaving a puddle of water on the ground with each step.
Pink palace maid's outfit with endless water stains...... It's that little palace maid! The little palace maid who was pushed into the water! It's her! It's her who has come for revenge! Hanyue thought to herself. She wanted to flee, but her body couldn't move, she wanted to scream, but she couldn't make a sound. Her eyes widened, staring straight ahead, cold sweat streaming down her forehead.
"It's you! You killed me! I have no grievances with you, why do you want to kill me? I want your life! The pink-clothed woman's voice was dry and unpleasant, like the gurgling sound of an old-fashioned water mill, but with a chill from the Nine Hells. After she said this, she stretched out her wet hands to choke Hanyue's neck.
Hanyue struggled hard, she used all her strength, trying to break the hands that were holding her neck, however, no matter how hard she tried, it didn't seem to have any effect, and the hands on her neck were getting tighter and tighter. As time passed minute by minute, Hanyue only felt that her life was also passing away little by little, and she was about to suffocate.
At this moment, Han Yue suddenly felt that her neck was loosened, the hands that were holding her were gone, and the wet pink-clothed palace maid also disappeared.
"Miss, Miss, wake up." Han Yue heard Zi Mo's call in her ears, she opened her eyes suddenly, and finally woke up, and what caught her eyes was the bright room.
The candles in the room were lit, and Zi Mo was holding the lamp, looking at Han Yue with a worried face, "Miss, what's wrong with you?" But a nightmare? Just now you have been struggling and screaming, and the slave wants to wake you up, but she can't wake you up. ”
Hanyue sat up, and she found that her bedclothes were already soaked with cold sweat. She looked at Zi Mo, still palpitating, "Zi Mo, I saw that little palace maid, she came to me to ask for her life." ”
When Zi Mo heard this, his face couldn't help but change slightly. At that time, although she followed Liu Yuanzhi away, Nangong Heng forced Han Yue to push the little palace maid into the water, and she and Liu Yuanzhi both saw it. She suppressed the uneasiness in her heart, with a look of indifference on her face, she comforted Han Yue and said, "Miss, don't think about it, it's just a dream." The theory of ghosts and monsters has always been used to bluff people, not to mention that there is dragon energy suppression in the palace, and those evil people dare not get close. ”
Zi Mo changed into clean bed clothes for Han Yue and said, "Miss, don't scare yourself, go to sleep quickly, there are slaves and maids here to accompany you." ”
Hanyue nodded, lay down and covered the quilt. Zi Mo saw that Hanyue fell asleep, and only fell asleep after turning off the lights. Zi Mo had a big heart, even if he was a little scared in his heart, he didn't fall asleep for long. Hanyue lay on the bed and listened to the sound of even breathing in her ears, but she tossed and turned. As soon as she closes her eyes now, she will see the appearance of the little palace maid in pink, and it can be said that she can't sleep peacefully at all. She opened her eyes and stared fixedly at the shadows of the trees outside the window, and couldn't sleep all night, watching the sky light up little by little.
Within a few days, the body of the little palace maid was found by the attendant who cleaned up Yuluo Lake. It is said that when the little palace maid was salvaged, the whole person was swollen and lost her human appearance, which frightened many palace maids present. In view of the fact that there were no injuries on the body of the little palace maid, it was treated as an accidental stumble.
These days, Han Yue has the same nightmare every night, and after a few days, the whole person's spirit has languished a lot. Taking advantage of Ye Ziling's daily visit to Liu Yuanzhi for peace and security, Han Yue also asked Ye Ziling for some calming medicine, but the effect was not great. Hanyue understands that this is a heart disease, and foreign medicine is useless, so she has to rely on herself to think about it slowly.
Zi Mo applied a lot of powder to Han Yue, but he still couldn't cover the dark blue eye circles, Han Yue looked at himself who was slightly haggard in the mirror, and said, "That's it, let's go serve the little master for dinner, and if we delay any longer, it will be too late to say goodbye to the queen." ”
Inside the Fengluan Palace.
"Hey, I don't know what's wrong, a good little palace maid in the concubine's palace actually fell into the lake and drowned, it's really unlucky." Cao Meiren sighed.
The queen raised her eyebrows, "But there are not enough people in the palace?" It's just a little palace maid, and when you go back to the palace, you can just dial another one to you. ”
Cao Meiren didn't expect that her heart would be seen through by the queen at a glance, she smiled, "Then the concubine will thank the queen mother." ”
Although a long time has passed, after all, it was the first time that Han Yue killed someone, and she was still the one who killed herself, so when she heard someone mention the little palace maid in the water again, her face still changed involuntarily. Although Liu Yuanzhi stood far away that night, she also saw this scene, so after hearing this, her expression also looked a little uncomfortable.
"Liu Cairen, your complexion doesn't seem to be very good, but what's uncomfortable?" Concubine Ning Xian looked at Liu Yuanzhi and asked with concern.
Liu Yuanzhi didn't expect Concubine Ning Xian to notice her at this moment, she hurriedly settled down, and casually found an excuse and said, "Thank you Concubine Xian for your concern, the concubine is fine, it's just that I haven't slept a little unsteadily these days." ”
Concubine Yan Shufei chuckled lightly when she heard this, and raised her eyebrows, "Oh? Can't sleep soundly? Liu Cairen is not down-to-earth, but he is tired by nightmares every day and can't sleep at night? This is strange, everyone in the palace slept well, but Liu Cairen didn't sleep well, and I don't know if it was because of something wrong. She finished stroking the silver-gilded beaded stone silk armor on her fingers.
The concubines listened to Concubine Yanshu's words, and their expressions when they looked at Liu Yuanzhi also became playful. The queen frowned, and didn't want to pay attention to Concubine Yan Shu, and said to Liu Yuanzhi, "Can you ask the imperial doctor to see it?" ”
"Hui Niangniang, I have asked Imperial Doctor Ye to see it, and the concubine is now taking the Tranquility Pill, and she is getting better." Liu Yuanzhi replied.
"That's good." The queen nodded, "The palace is a little tired, so let's go here today, let's disperse." ”
"The concubine sends the queen mother." After the concubines saluted, they dispersed in twos and threes.
