After returning to the room, the first thing Meng Xilan did was to take off the bracelet and hand it to Zhu Qing: "Find a box, keep it alive, don't break it." ”

This generous gift made her feel more stressed.

Zhu Qing held her breath and carefully took it and put it away.

The little palace maid outside changed the water again, and Zhulu took the first step, leaned over to Meng Xilan's side, and whispered, "Miss, Xiao Lizi said that she has something to see you." ”

Meng Xilan nodded: "Let him come in, let the little palace maids outside go back." ”

A moment later, Gao Fuli walked in with a small cloth baggage, his cheeks flushed with cold.

"The slave greets the master."

"What's the matter at such a late hour?" Meng Xilan was also a little tired.

"The servant has prepared something for the master. Please take a look at it,...... master," Gao Fuli said as he offered a treasure and handed over the burden to Zhulu.

Zhu Lu was surprised, opened it with his own hand, and his expression was even more puzzled.

Inside the baggage was a turquoise palace maid's cotton jacket, which looked a little old, but it was very clean.

Meng Xilan took a look, looked at him and said, "Xiao Lizi, is this for me?" ”

He nodded heavily: "Master, this is what the slave said to prepare." This dress was bought by the servant for half a month. It is an old clothes that no one has claimed, clean and clean, and it is guaranteed that the owner cannot be found. ”

Meng Xilan was a little confused when she heard it.

"During the day, the master passed by the Changqing Palace...... Said he wanted to go in and have a look. It was a cold palace, and almost no one entered it except for the palace maids and eunuchs who were responsible for transporting sundries. Therefore, if the master wants to go in, he must first disguise himself a little so as not to attract attention. ”

Gao Fuli stayed in the palace for a few years, and learned a lot from a few masters who took advantage of him.

There is something you want in the palace, but if you want to get it, you still need some doorways.

Meng Xilan was stunned when she heard this, she didn't expect him to really think of a way, and moreover, it was such an unexpected way.

"Nonsense." Zhu Lu looked at Meng Xilan, shook her head and said, "Miss, don't listen to him, you can't go to a place like the Cold Palace." ”

Meng Xilan also knew that she was right, but in her heart, she couldn't let go of Zhou Youchen, as if there was an invisible thin thread that always involved her heart.

The solution of small profits is feasible. However, Meng Xilan had to think about it.

"I want to go to the cold palace, have you mentioned it to the second person?" Meng Xilan's eyebrows involuntarily tightened a little.

The heart of defense is indispensable.

It stands to reason that except for the county lord of Anning, she has not offended anyone in the palace. It's just that if someone has ulterior motives and deliberately frames him, wouldn't he be caught off guard?

"The slave swears that he has never said a word, and it took several turns to buy the thing." Gao Fuli said with a serious expression.

Meng Xilan looked at his eyes that didn't dodge or dodge, and only felt that he didn't feel like he was lying.

Her eyes fell on the padded jacket, narrowed her eyes slightly, and said lightly, "I'm just talking casually." You're interested...... But why don't you ask me why you want to go to that kind of place? ”

It stands to reason that he should also be as resolute as Zhu Lu and Zhu Qing are.

Gao Fuli looked down at the floor tiles and was silent for a moment before replying, "The slave is dull and does not dare to speculate on the master's intentions. The slave only wants to share the worries of the master, as long as the master gives him an order, the slave is willing to do anything! ”

When Meng Xilan heard this, her heart eased a lot.

She doesn't want to be gullible, but she also doesn't want to wronged anyone because of her suspicion.

"Alright, get up." Meng Xilan raised her hand: "If you are loyal, I will definitely not treat you lightly." Zhulu gave him ten taels of silver, which can be regarded as a reward. ”

When Gao Fuli heard this, he smiled as if he was relieved, and accepted the reward with thanks.

"Miss, you can't go." Zhulu reminded her again, "Slave beg." ”

Meng Xilan also had hesitation in her heart, she tried to dissuade herself, but the impulse in her heart did not decrease but increased.

"I can't explain a lot of things, I can only rely on feelings." Her pink nails tapped lightly on the table, and she quickly made a decision: "I'm going to Changqing Palace, I'm going to find an answer for myself." So, you have to help me. ”

Zhulu didn't understand what she meant at all, so she bit her lip and had to bless her body: "Yes, the slave knows." ”

The palace is full of eyes, and the best time to avoid people's eyes and ears is at night.

Under the cover of the dim night, Meng Xilan changed into the appearance of a palace maid, wrapped in a cloak, and followed Xiao Lizi out of Cining Palace. Zhulu and Zhuqing went out from the corner gate at the other end, and then, everyone met at the corner of the road in front of the moon cave gate.

The entire palace was as silent as if it had fallen asleep, except for the dim shadow of the palace lamps and candles swaying gently in the wind.

Walking all the way to the gate of Changqing Palace, Meng Xilan kept her head down, but fortunately she didn't meet anyone on the way, only the eunuch who fought the watch.

Gao Fuli stepped forward and pushed open the old palace door, looked at it, and muttered, "Why don't you even have a ...... light?"

Meng Xilan looked in through the crack in the door and shivered slightly.

It was pitch black and you couldn't see anything.

Zhulu was bold, carrying a lantern, and shone into the door, and he couldn't even see a human figure.

Meng Xilan didn't know if she was too bold or a ghost, so she walked in directly.

Gao Welfare took the lead: "Master slow down, let the slave illuminate you." ”

In the dim light, Meng Xilan gradually saw clearly in front of her, the ground was covered with snow, and there were a few footprints scattered here.

The courtyard is large, and there is a tall bare tree in the center, with interlaced branches, which is even more eerie.

Meng Xilan looked around, hoping that she could find Zhou Youchen earlier.

However, it was empty, dilapidated and deserted, with no signs of human habitation, and there was no one to be seen, not even a ghost.

Meng Xilan couldn't help but start scolding herself for being stupid, and wasted a lot of work in vain.

"Miss, there's nothing here, let's go back......"

Meng Xilan thought for a while and said, "Okay, leave the food box on the steps." As soon as he finished speaking, a faint wind blew by, making the wooden window creak.

Meng Xilan felt that there was a figure in front of her in a hurry, but she was not sure, so she had to stand in place and ask aloud, "Is it you?" ”

Zhulu and Zhuqing were already waiting for it, but Xiao Lizi was not so afraid, and walked towards the half-open wooden window with the lantern, the lantern shook slightly, reflecting on a pale face, which frightened everyone and retreated again and again.

Meng Xilan didn't know if it was a person or a ghost, and in a trance, a sad song sounded in her ears.

Who's singing?

Meng Xilan couldn't hear what the man was singing, but she could tell that it was a woman.

The singing in the middle of the night, lingering leisurely, sends chills down everyone's spine when they hear it.

Zhu Lu and Zhu Qing half-pulled and half-dragged Meng Xilan out, and Gao Fuli also ran out after him, closed the palace door tightly, took a deep breath and said, "Master, this place is not suitable for a long time!" It was really haunted. ”

Meng Xilan shook her head, didn't say anything, and directly put on the hat on the cloak.

Today can only end there, but she doesn't believe in ghosts, they must be people.
