A furry moon in the sky, which was supposed to be bright, was covered by dark clouds and struggled to get out, revealing only a thin shadow.

Chanjuan, who was beside Xiao Li Meiren, raised the lantern in her hand, and her voice seemed to be trembling like ice, "Niangniang, let's ...... Do you really want to go? After speaking, he tightly wrapped his small body with his other hand that did not carry a lantern, but his eyes kept looking around vigilantly.

Xiao Li Meiren was dressed in gray clothes, her hair was pulled up high, and only an ebony hairpin was inserted, and her whole body was plain as if she was fasting for someone walking, and she only let out a low "um", and continued to squint at the wall.

After half a ring, Xiao Li Meiren ordered, "Give the things to the palace." ”

Chanjuan looked at her worriedly, "Niangniang, this ghost thing, but you have to be cautious, the master also handed in the message, let you be patient, in case ...... The slave is afraid that in case, His Royal Highness has been gone for so many years, and the relationship with your mother and son has also dispersed, so don't ...... Empress. ”

"To Hongu!" Xiao Li Meiren turned her head and glared at Chanjuan fiercely, her son, so unclear is gone, for so many years, she has not forgotten her son's sick and sad and pitiful eyes before he died, how can she forget as a mother? How can you forget?!

Chanjuan was helpless, so she had to put the lantern in her hand at her feet first, and then, with a little force, picked up a black sour branch big wooden niche and handed it over, Xiao Li Meiren took it with both hands, shrugged it up like holding a child, and replaced it with a one-handed wooden niche, one hand stretched out, Chanjuan hurriedly handed over the wooden hammer that had been wrapped in buffalo hide.

Xiao Li Beauty's good wooden hammer, Chanjuan bent down to lift the lantern and changed the position, standing closer to Xiao Li Beauty, holding a lantern in one hand and an iron nail in the other, tiptoeing, and pressed it into the stone crack of the wall.

Xiao Li Meiren raised the buffalo leather wooden hammer and hit the iron nails one by one, and the sound of tartars and tarts sounded numb in this almost moonlit night.

After nailing the wooden niche, Xiao Li Meiren took out a black and red puppet villain from a burden at her feet, the villain is carved from camphor willow wood, and the carving is very good, so that the little man looks lifelike, and the two eyes, as if they will glow, staring straight at the person who is looking at him.

Chanjuan was so frightened that she quickly turned her head, she didn't dare to look at this villain at all, she always felt that there was still an evil aura in this puppet's gloom, especially the corner of her mouth, as if she was looking at you with a smile on her lips. If she wakes up in the middle of the night and suddenly sees such a wooden man, she will be scared half to death.

Xiao Li Beauty has no trace of fear at all, looking at this wooden villain, her eyes are full of motherly love.

Chanjuan actually wanted to persuade, but seeing that Xiao Li Meiren was so sad that she couldn't help herself, and she couldn't bear to persuade her, maybe she had a thought, and it was good, right? It's better than when it was lifeless...... Sighing, he stood on tiptoe, inserted the pole of the lantern into the eye of the wall in a high place, and then bent down to lift the white velvet cloth covering the basket, "Niangniang, do you want to pay tribute now?" Chanjuan didn't dare to look at the wooden little man who was black and red, so she had to look at the corner of Xiao Li's beautiful skirt and asked.

Xiao Li Meiren desperately suppressed her sorrow, nodded, Chanjuan took out the candle and elm bark incense in the basket, picked up the fire fold, lit the candle with "Ah", and then took the candle and lit the elm bark incense, put the candle on the ground, and handed the incense to Xiao Li Beauty.

The candlelight illuminated Xiao Li Beauty's tear-stained face, Xiao Li Beauty did not accept the incense handed over by Chanjuan, but protected and carefully put the little wooden man in her arms into the wooden niche, and watched the wooden little man sitting in the wooden niche, just looking at each other, her eyes were full of endless nostalgia and sentimentality.

A gust of wind blew, although it was warm, Chanjuan still felt as if there were countless eyes staring at her side, and the cool air rushed straight into the collar one by one. The flickering candle flame flickered on and off, Chanjuan was a little anxious, but most of all she was afraid.

"Niangniang......" screamed in a low voice, Chanjuan held the incense, and had to protect the candle flame from being blown out by the wind, her face didn't know whether she was frozen or frightened, and she was white.

Xiao Li Meiren seemed to come back to her senses, tears dried on her face, and the candle flame reflected her face from time to time, the wood was suffocating, Chanjuan was almost frightened and threw the incense in her hand.

"Give me ......" Xiao Li's beautiful voice, low and deep, with a dullness that has never been before, Chanjuan trembled and handed her the incense, her eyes kept drifting to her face, it couldn't be possessed, right?

Chanjuan's back was almost soaked with cold sweat, the hair rows were erect, standing upright, she subconsciously touched the cloth bag wrapped around her waist, which contained Zhong Kui's ghost catching charm, which she came out of the palace of Concubine Wu.

Because Concubine Wu Niangniang was frightened by this wooden villain the night before yesterday and fainted, His Royal Highness the Prince was in a hurry, and His Royal Highness hurriedly found the Void Dao Master of Baiyun Temple to return the soul of Concubine Wu Niangniang, this spell is now almost all over Concubine Wu Niangniang's bedroom, because of the rules, Xiao Li Beauty should go to visit the "sick" Wu Concubine Niangniang, but how can Xiao Li Beauty go? Therefore, she replaced Xiao Li Meiren and went to send a surprise gift, and by the way, she also brought out two charms.

I wanted to give one to Xiao Li Beauty, and one to keep for myself, but Xiao Li Beauty seemed to be enchanted, but she refused to bring it, and she was not even allowed to bring it, Chanjuan for the first time, for the sake of herself, secretly kept this charm and put it in her personal waist bag.

Xiao Li Meiren looked at the little wooden man in the wooden niche in a daze, and then bowed three times, and said sadly: "Son, my mother is sorry for you, my mother must avenge you, you help my mother watch, bless my mother, I will successfully avenge you, and when I take revenge, my mother will go to find you, let's still be a mother and son, and go underground to be a mother and son together!" "The elm bark incense burned for nearly half of it, and it was about to burn Xiao Li's fingers.

Suddenly, with a "poof", the fire on the incense was magically extinguished.

Chanjuan was really frightened this time, because she saw a wisp of blue light floating from the fragrance of elm bark.

Xiao Li Meiren actually cried with a whimper, "Son, my son, my baby." ”

Obviously, Xiao Li Meiren thought that her son had manifested his spirit, and she was afraid that the incense would hurt his mother's hand, so she cast a spell to extinguish the incense.

Chanjuan remembered that when Xiao Jinzi was in the palace at the time, she talked about "buying road silver", and Xiao Jinzi's original words were, "Do you know why I sometimes dream of some of my dead relatives and tell you that my house is leaking, or I don't say anything, just look at you like that?" …… That's because you didn't fulfill the obligations of your relatives, you didn't send them the coils on the road, and you had to give them some coils to pay tribute to the deceased. Who is disgusted with more silver and gold? ”

Chanjuan hurriedly squatted down, rummaged through the basket, first took out a gourd-shaped wine jug, and said with words in her mouth: "Your Royal Highness, the slave and maid are Chanjuan beside the mother, you liked to play with the slave and the maid the most, the slave and the maid first toast you with a glass of wine, and then, I will send you silver, you can rest assured, the slave and the maid will do their best to serve the mother, you can rest assured." ”

After saying that, he sprinkled a sip of the wine on the ground, and then, for the rest, drew a circle with the wine, and deliberately left a small mouth, so that the soul of the deceased could enter and obtain the money given to him, and not be robbed by the other wandering souls.

Whether it is superstition or not, Chanjuan would rather believe it now than not.

After drawing the circle, Chanjuan turned out the gold and silver foil coins that had been prepared long ago, all of which were prepared in advance, and every year on the death day and birthday of the four princes, Xiao Li Meiren would burn some for him, so in terms of production, Chanjuan is very skilled.

After hitting the fire, Chanjuan burned the prepared loess paper first, and then, one by one, threw the gold and silver foil into the fire, and suddenly, the fire was overflowing, and the gold and silver foil were burned and rolled up, and the rustling sound was like the sound of a thin child stepping on the dead branches and leaves, playing around.

"Niangniang, you can also burn some silver for the Fourth Highness." Chanjuan took advantage of the firelight, and was a little bolder, and raised her head to look at Xiao Li Meiren'er and persuade.

Xiao Li Meiren didn't pay attention to Chanjuan, picked up the wine jug on the ground, raised her neck and took a sip, and squirted the fire.

"Huh......" flames burst into flames.

Xiao Li Meiren pulled out the saber at her waist, Chanjuan was so frightened that she didn't squat steadily, and sat on the ground with her ass, "Niangniang...... You ......"

"I'll play with my son for a while." Xiao Li Meiren threw out a flower sleeve and danced a sword.

This sword, is Xiao Li Meiren has been with her since she was a child, as a child of a civil official family, or a daughter, but she especially likes to dance with swords, Dongge University scholar Li is not particularly fond of his daughter, but as a father's love, there is still there. Seeing that she liked it, I didn't know where to find this ancient sword, the sword body was covered with blue rust, the blade was extremely sharp, the near front was obviously narrowed, the double blade was arc-shaped, the ridge line was raised, the two from the oblique arc surface, the sword grid was inverted and concave, decorated with animal face patterns, inlaid with turquoise, the round stem was solid, and there were traces of entanglement. There are two convex hoops on the stem, and there are slender grooves on the hoops, and a small amount of turquoise remains in the grooves. The disc-shaped head is cast with multiple circles of delicate and deep concentric circles and convex ridges, and the sword head is made of alloy bronze of different compositions and then connected to the sword stem. There are two lines of inscriptions on the sword body near the grid: attack (Wu) Wang Fu sent from Cha (for) its yuan.

The fourth prince had just turned four years old, because he was very smart and loved by Emperor Zhou Sheng, but no matter how smart a child was, he was also naughty, seeing that Xiao Li Meiren had such a treasure around him, he loved it very much, and he had to shout to let his mother teach him to practice swords, Xiao Li Meiren regretted it every time she thought of it, why did she not let her son learn it at that time? If you start practicing swords at that time, maybe...... The rest of the story won't happen so easily......

Chanjuan sat on the ground, and when she saw the tears left by Xiao Li Meiren's eyes from the corners of her eyes, she also felt distressed, she was anxious to protect the master, she only had the master in her heart, she might not be doing very well, but the relationship with her master was real, real.

Chanjuan also felt sorry for His Royal Highness who was tortured by pain and died in tears, although it was not her own, but she was also held in her arms since she was a child, pulling the child who grew up little by little.

Chanjuan subconsciously glanced at the wooden niche with the wooden man, her eyes grew bigger and bigger, and the little wooden man was actually ......

It's gone!

"Ah......h

Such a sharp and terrible cry naturally alarmed the guards patrolling at night.

Today, Xiao Li Meiren did not pay tribute to her son in the harem, but came to the place where the fourth prince Zhou Minxiang went to school, and this place was also one of Zhou Minxiang's favorite places during his lifetime.

Li Molin, who was already the governor of the Ouchi guard, was still dressed in white clothes and white armor, and ran over with a group of guards.

Xiao Li Meiren seemed to be frightened, and the dancing sword didn't have time to be withdrawn, but in Li Molin's eyes, this woman was afraid that she was going to find someone to vent the anger in her heart.

Li Molin squinted his eyes, and saw that Xiao Li Meiren stabbed over with a sword, turned sideways slightly, and the long sword slid out along the belt on his chest, and this sword was easily avoided by him. I just wanted to raise my hand and prepare to attack the back of Xiao Li Beauty's head, intending to knock her out first, but I didn't expect Xiao Li Beauty to turn around very quickly, her toes were a little lighter, her waist was tense and bent down, and with an extremely strange movement, she turned her wrist and made another sword.

Li Molin obviously underestimated the enemy, this sword, by chance, stabbed the armor on his chest, and with a "bang" sound, the white scales on the armor fell several times in response.

Seeing this, the guards hurriedly stepped forward to help, but the strength of the hand was not easy to handle, after all, Xiao Li Meiren was the concubine of the harem, although she came to the Chengxue Hall to be hers, but if she was injured, it was not something that a little guard like them could withstand the result.

"You go, the concubine listens to you." Huh, there was a sound behind her, which frightened Chanjuan. The fluttering voice was no longer a child's voice, but a slightly hoarse voice when His Royal Highness passed away.

Chanjuan trembled and wanted to turn back but didn't dare to look back, in fact, it was just a moment, Chanjuan took a deep breath and looked back suddenly, it was empty, there was no one, not even a shadow of flowers and plants.

Chanjuan believed it, she really believed it, that wooden little man, the soul inside, should really be the Fourth Highness!

I don't know why, Chanjuan, who knew it, was not afraid, she got up, ran towards Xiao Li Meiren, who was still fighting with the guards, with her skirt, and shouted: "Niangniang, Niangniang, look, Fourth Highness, Fourth Highness came back to see you!" ”

Xiao Li Meiren waved her sword for a moment, just turned around, and closed her eyes when she looked at Chanjuan who was running towards her.

There was silence in the Nianxiang Palace, only in the three-legged furnace of red copper, there were a few wisps of light mist that seemed to be nothing.

Imperial Physician Ye's expression was solemn, and he looked at Empress Chen, who was also in a hurry, and said: "Returning to the queen's mother, Master Xiao Li is distracted, I'm afraid that she will have to perform needles to stabilize her, alas...... Poor blood flow in the skull caused by anxiety and fear, I'm afraid ......"

Empress Chen wrinkled her brows, glanced at Xiao Li Meiren, who was kneeling on the ground, looking at Xiao Li Meiren who was lying flat, Chanjuan who was sobbing, and then turned her head to look at Imperial Doctor Ye, "Imperial Doctor Ye, please speak, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

"Yes, back to the queen's mother, Master Xiao Li's heart disease, I am afraid that it will be difficult to heal even if she has an injection, and when she wakes up, if she is still delirious, then ...... I'm afraid it will be the case in the future. Doctor Ye said embarrassedly.

Will it be like this in the future? Delirious? In the future, Xiao Li beauties will be delirious?

Empress Chen gasped and asked nervously, "Is there no other way?" ”

Imperial Physician Ye shook his head helplessly.

Hearing this, Chanjuan walked more than a dozen steps on her knees, prostrate in front of Queen Chen, and begged: "Queen Mother, let Jin Xuan'er from Concubine Li's side come to our master to see it, now everyone is passing on it, this Jin Xuan'er has good medical skills, and can also cure people's heart diseases, even the doctors of the Tai Hospital can't compare to it, please, Queen Mother, let Jin Xuan'er come and help our mother take a look." ”

Imperial Physician Ye showed an embarrassed look on his face, they had studied medicine for many years, and they thought that they were diligent and conscientious and hardworking, but they couldn't even compare to a palace maid?

Chanjuan couldn't take care of Imperial Doctor Ye now, she only looked at Queen Chen with tears in her eyes, and her pleading look made people feel pity.

Empress Chen sighed, "Okay, go and talk to the emperor in this palace, and see if he agrees, Imperial Doctor Ye, don't worry about it, Jin Xuan'er is a woman, so she has to understand women's hearts better than you men." ”

Imperial Physician Ye hurriedly got up, bowed down, clasped his fists and saluted, and didn't dare to say anything.

Two days later, Xiao Jinzi followed the emperor back to the palace again, and carefully diagnosed Xiao Li Meiren, who had been in a trance since she woke up.

Chanjuan looked at her nervously, Xiao Jinzi waved her hand at her, signaling her not to worry, just shook hands with Xiao Li Meiren, and whispered in her ear but spoke extremely gently.

After about two pillars of incense, I saw Xiao Jin snap his fingers, and then gently stroked Xiao Li Meiren and lay down.

Chanjuan almost screamed in surprise, how long has it been since she had been lying down? Since I woke up, I only drank a few sips of water, and then, I just sat dry, didn't eat or drink, day and night, I stayed up like this, even if I wasn't sick, I had to get out of my illness, great, and finally saw her lying down, Chanjuan burst into tears happily.

Seeing that Xiao Li Meiren closed her eyes and her breathing stabilized, Xiao Jinzi motioned for Chanjuan to get close to her, and whispered to Chanjuan's ear: "You go, take a futon, find another child, try to find a four- or five-year-old child, remember, whether it is a boy or a girl, they are all dressed up as the four highnesses." ”
