Chapter Seventy-Eight: A Terrible Scream
"I asked Shuya to go to the tower to get the book, and I didn't know what she saw when I heard her scream, and the palace people didn't see anything else when they went up to carry her."
Cui Shao listened to Su Youyi's words, and quietly glanced at Cui Wei, whose eyes confirmed Su Youyi's words.
She glanced out the window, the tall tower in this courtyard was originally the place where the first emperor stargazed, and from the very top, she could see about half of the palace.
Could it be that Shuya saw something unclean in the palace from the tower, so she screamed so miserably?
Cui shook his back unconsciously, and a chill crept up from the soles of his feet......
Sending Cui Shao away, Su Youyi personally took care of Shuya in front of the bed.
She didn't tell Cui Shao what happened before passing through the Yongshou Palace today, and there was no evidence for this matter, and it was unknown whether Shuya saw something in the Yongshou Palace. Second, even if it really is, she doesn't want to reveal this matter to outsiders until she finds out what happened in Yongshou Palace.
It's quite strange to think about it now, Yongshou Palace is the only empty palace among the six palaces in the harem. Concubine Hui's Yonghe Palace is still crowded with three masters, why don't you open the Yongshou Palace and use it?
She thought of the last time the emperor was in Changchun. What the palace said, saying that it is unwilling to spend manpower and material resources to build Yongshou Palace when the drought is not completely resolved, is the reason really so simple?
She has many mysteries in her heart, waiting for Shuya to wake up and solve her puzzles.
It didn't take long for there to be movement in the bed, and Sookya was screaming in her dreams, her expression extremely distorted.
Seeing this, Su Youyi simply pushed her awake, so as not to suffer more panic in her nightmare, Shuya was really pushed awake, and when she opened her eyes, there was a scream.
"Shhhh
She sat on the edge of the bed and hugged Shuya, and Shuya saw that it was her and cried and pounced, "Auntie, there are dirty things, there are really dirty things!" ”
She was frightened, and her name for Su Youyi returned to before.
Su Youyi didn't point it out, only gently stroked her back and slowly comforted: "What happened, tell me." I'm bold, even if the dirty thing comes, I'll stand in the way, you don't have to be afraid, tell me. ”
Only then did Shuya sobble and said, "Slaves and maids listen to the nobles, go to the fourth floor of the tower to get books." Originally, I just wanted to take the book and come down, but when I thought about the affairs of the Yongshou Palace, I looked at the Yongshou Palace in front of the window of the tower. Who knew that this was unbelievable, and a white shadow in the Yongshou Palace flew over at once, scaring the slave to death! ”
She grabbed the corner and looked out the window, "Noble, there are dirty things in Yongshou Palace, and it's not safe for us to live here!" Go and tell the emperor and the queen mother, I can't live here! ”
"Alright, alright, you calm down first."
Su Youyi comforted her and called out the door, "Blessings and longevity." ”
The two of them hurriedly entered the house to listen to the call, and Su Youyi said: "Go and light up all the lampstands in the courtyard, especially against the side of Yongshou Palace." You should be vigilant tonight, Shuya is afraid, don't let her be afraid at night and can't call anyone. ”
The two hurriedly agreed, "This is what a slave should be, it's not hard." Aunt Shuya was frightened, why don't you let Chunhua and Chunjing come to sleep with her aunt tonight? ”
Su Youyi nodded, "That's great." ”
Duofu hurriedly said: "Then the slave will go and inform the two of them, and then light the lampstand in the courtyard!" ”
The two of them retreated as they spoke, and Shuya felt a lot better when she heard her arrange this, "Thank you, noble, otherwise the slave really won't dare to sleep tonight." Aren't you afraid? Or do the slaves and maids sleep together outside the nobleman's dormitory? ”
Su Youyi shook her head, "You just have to sleep on yours, let Cuiwei take turns tonight." Rest well and don't fall ill. I will investigate the matter of Yongshou Palace, you don't have to be afraid. ”
Shuya doesn't know what else to investigate, to find out the source of the dirty things?
The dirty things in the palace are nothing more than concubines who died in childbirth, palace maids who jumped into wells to die, and palace people who were punished and beaten to death by their masters......
Every one found out is a blood debt, not to mention that it may not be able to get rid of it if it is found out.
Shuya hurriedly said: "Don't check the noble, don't embarrass yourself, what if that thing gets entangled with the nobleman?" ”
The corners of Su Youyi's mouth curled slightly, and she was really a stupid girl, so easily deceived by the words of ghosts and gods.
Someone pretended to be a ghost in the Yongshou Palace, most of them targeted her, and frightened her closest palace maid.
If she doesn't investigate this matter well, how can she be worthy of the person who pretends to be a ghost?
She calmed Shuya and returned to her bedroom alone, and the courtyard was brightly lit, and the night was as dark as day.
Although this is a bit extravagant, looking at the pale face when Cui shook away, presumably even if the queen knew that the lights in her palace were lit all night, she would not say anything.
Everyone in the palace is taboo about the so-called dirty things.
Somehow, Su Youyi suddenly thought of the waste concubine Tan that Bai promised to say.
Who lived in Yongshou Palace in the past, could it be this Tan family?
She saw Cuiwei guarding outside the door, so she beckoned, "Cuiwei, you have been in the palace longer than me, do you know which concubine lived in the Yongshou Palace on the side in the past?" ”
"Eternal Longevity Palace?"
Cui Wei was surprised and said: "The slave maid has been in the palace for two years, and the Yongshou Palace has always been sealed, and there has never been a concubine living in it. The nobles often go up to the tower, and they should be able to see that the Yongshou Palace is in disrepair and uninhabitable. ”
Su Youyi nodded thoughtfully, "Also, the extent of the rudination of the Yongshou Palace, it will not reach that point without seven or eight years." ”
Cui Wei said: "Did Shuya say something?" Did she scream when she saw something in the Eternal Life Palace? ”
Su Youyi had expected her to ask like this, so she prevaricated casually, "It's nothing, it's just that I want to pick up the only one near the Star Pavilion, so I'm just asking a few more words." It's not early, go to bed. ”
She used to read a book for a while before going to bed, and she couldn't sleep tonight, I don't know if it was because she had changed her habits, or because of the affairs of Yongshou Palace.
The night was slightly cool, and the lights were still bright outside the window, but in the far room, where the lights were shining, there was a deep darkness.
There was a gentle sound of the wind rolling up the fallen leaves in her ears, Su Youyi closed her eyes and slowly fell into a dream.
In her dream, she saw her father, and saw the village teacher who held a book and a ruler all the year round, always with a kind smile on his face.
He stretched out his hand to lead him home.
The sky was full of stars, the air was filled with the aroma of straw and grain piles, and his back was slightly soothing but reassuring.
In her sleep, a tear crossed the corner of her eye.
If there really is a ghost in this world, she often dreams of her father, and cries and calls her father countless times when she can't live, why does her father never appear once?
It can be seen that ghosts and gods are all fake.
