Jiang's mother has been restless recently, and she always has nightmares at night, and she has been woken up by nightmares several times. Jiang Yucheng invited a doctor to come to the house, and after reading it, the doctor said that she was old, and her qi and blood were a little weak, which caused her to sleep unsteadily at night, and prescribed a few prescriptions to calm her nerves.

Yan Niang ordered people to decoct the medicine according to the prescription, but after Jiang's mother took it, there was still no improvement, but the situation was worse. At first, she slept until midnight and had nightmares, but now when she closed her eyes, she was so frightened that she didn't even dare to close her eyes.

Taozhi and Mama Wu stayed in front of Jiang's mother's bed every day, and after a few days, the two of them were also a lot haggard. Jiang's mother couldn't sleep well, Jiang Yucheng, a son, was naturally worried, and when Mu Xiu arrived, he withdrew Taozhi and Mama Wu and guarded his mother personally.

Maybe it was because her son was in front of the bed, Jiang's mother felt a lot more relieved, and after closing her eyes, she didn't see the horror of the night a few days ago. She breathed a sigh of relief and gradually fell asleep.

Jiang Yucheng saw that his mother's breathing was steady, gently tucked the corners of the quilt for her, and then sat on the edge of the bed and read a book. In the middle of the night, he was a little sleepy, and he was going to spend the night on the soft collapse beside the bed.

At this time, Jiang's mother, who was sleeping soundly, suddenly shook her whole body, and kept shouting, "Don't come, don't come." Jiang Yucheng hurriedly ran over and found that Jiang's mother's face had become a little pale.

Jiang Yucheng said anxiously: "Mother, what's wrong with you?" ”

Hearing her son's voice, Jiang's mother trembled less and slowly calmed down. But after less than half a cup of tea, she began to scream again, and her hands and feet kept waving wildly.

Jiang Yucheng was afraid that something would happen to his mother, so he shook her to wake her up. After Jiang Mu woke up, she still maintained a frightened look on her face, and the clothes on her body were already soaked.

"Cheng'er, there are ghosts, there are many ghosts, they all want to come to eat me, I can't get rid of it." She panicked and told her son about the dream.

Jiang Yucheng comforted her and said: "Zi Bu is silent, mother, there are no such things in the world, you don't have to be afraid." ”

Jiang Mu squeezed his hand and trembled: "Yes, yes, I saw it, I saw it all." ”

Jiang Yucheng looked at his frightened mother, distressed and helpless. At this time, Mama Wu, who was sleeping outside, heard the movement and came in, and she said to Jiang Yucheng: "My lord, the old lady is afraid that she is stained with something dirty, so it is better to invite the Guanyin monk in the Buddhist hall to the house to suppress the evil." ”

Jiang Yucheng just wanted to scold her for talking nonsense, but Jiang's mother agreed very much, and begged: "Cheng'er, just listen to Mama Wu, you go and burn incense to purify your body, and invite Master Guanyin to protect your mother." ”

Jiang Yucheng had no choice but to go back to the main courtyard to take a bath.

After he came back, Yan Niang also woke up and hurriedly asked about Jiang's mother's situation. Jiang Yucheng sighed and said, "It's not good, I was scared awake just now." She listened to Mama Wu's words and asked me to come back to take a bath and burn incense, and then go to the Buddhist hall to invite Master Guanyin. ”

Hearing this, Yan Niang said: "Let's go for one night first, tomorrow I will go to the Temple of Mercy and Grace to ask for a few tranquilizing talismans, maybe wearing a tranquilizing talisman, my mother will get better." ”

Jiang Yucheng wanted to say something, but opened his mouth and closed it again. He took a bath and burned incense, and then went to the small Buddha hall to move the statue of Guanyin to Jiang's mother's house. At the suggestion of Jiang's mother, Mama Wu prepared tribute and incense burners.

Jiang Mu bowed to the statue of Guanyin, and kept chanting in her mouth: "Bodhisattva is not strange, Bodhisattva is not strange, the believer has a nightmare for a while, and the Bodhisattva must be in charge, and after this matter is over, the believer must worship the Buddha every day and never slack off." ”

"Mother, I think..."

He only said a few words, and Mama Wu said: "My lord, you better go back and rest, there is Master Guanyin, no matter what dirt can get close to the old lady's body." ”

Jiang Yucheng turned his head and glanced at Mama Wu, and met her somewhat cloudy eyes, always feeling that something was wrong.

"I'll stay here with my mother, if my mother is sleepy, let's go and rest first." He really can't rest assured that Jiang's mother.

Seeing this, Mama Wu had no choice but to retreat.

In the second half of the night, perhaps there was a statue of Guanyin, but Jiang's mother didn't have any more nightmares, and slept until dawn.

Early the second morning, Jiang Yucheng returned to the main courtyard, and the first thing he did was to tell Yan Niang about the strangeness of Mama Wu.

Yan Niang said: "Mama Wu has been in our house for more than five years, and she has always been honest, and I haven't seen her do anything strange." Why did her husband suddenly suspect her? ”

Jiang Yucheng's expression was a little complicated, "My mother has been plagued by nightmares these days, and last night, after Mama Wu proposed to invite the Guanyin statue to sit in town, my mother slept until dawn." Maybe you believe in ghosts and gods, but I don't believe it, that's why I think it's weird. ”

As in the case of Jiang's mother, the same scene was also staged in the East Palace.

Fu Liangdi, Guo Xueying, Wu Chenghui and Yong Fengyi all dreamed of the crown princess who died by hitting a pillar in the same night. The crown princess in their dreams still had that dignified and inoffensive look on her face, but there was a bowl-sized blood hole on her forehead, and the blood hole was still oozing blood, and the blood was falling down her cheeks drop by drop, looking terrifying.

Next to her stood Aunt Dong and Mian Rui, both of whom were also covered in blood, and Aunt Dong had a black mark on her neck. Everyone in the East Palace knew that Aunt Dong was strangled to death by order of Emperor Xianqing.

All four were awakened by the same nightmare, and they all woke up a little sluggish. Guo Xueying held on to her spirit and prepared to go to Fu Liangdi to say goodbye, but before she went out, she heard a message from the little eunuch in Fu Liangdi's palace, saying that Fu Liangdi was unwell, and she was exempted from asking everyone in the East Palace today.

After a while, Hong Ya, who was beside Wu Chenghui, ran over with a anxious face, "Guo Chenghui Niangniang, please help our master, our master had a nightmare last night and was so scared that he had a fetal gas." ”

Guo Xueying looked at her, "Your master has fetal gas, you should go to the imperial doctor, what are you doing here." ”

Hong Ya hurriedly said: "All the imperial doctors who treated us in the East Palace were invited to Fu Liangdi, and the slave maid thought that Sister Xuezhan understood pharmacology, so she came to ask Chenghui Niangniang for help." ”

Hearing this, Guo Xueying said: "You go back first, and Xue Zhan and I will come when we are ready." ”

Hongya still wanted to say something, but thinking of her master's situation, she was afraid of offending Guo Xueying, so she forcibly endured her words and returned to Wu Chenghui.

After Hongya left, Xue Zhan asked, "Master, do we want to help Wu Chenghui?" ”

Guo Xueying said: "Help, why don't you help." People helped me get Zhao'er back, if I didn't help, it would be too unsatisfactory. ”

After saying this, she said again: "You go and prepare, and we will go out again at the third moment of the first day." ”

"But Wu Chenghui, she..."

Guo Xueying glanced at her, "Are you the master or am I the master?" ”

Xue Zhan had to retreat.

At the third moment of the first day of the morning, the master and servant walked slowly towards Wu Chenghui's bedroom. At this time, Wu Chenghui was already in pain and had no strength, she held her stomach with one hand and Hongya with the other, and asked painfully: "Why haven't Guo Chenghui and Xuezhan come yet?" ”

"Master, they should be coming soon, can you lie down first?" Hongya was so anxious that she was sweating profusely.

Wu Chenghui slowly lay back, as if she had guessed something, a mocking smile suddenly burst out on her face.

She muttered, "I thought she was different, but I didn't expect to see the wrong person." As she said this, she distinctly felt something leaking out of her lower body.

Hongya saw that something was wrong with her, and asked her opinion, "Master, will the slave go to the Agarwood Hall again?" ”

Wu Chenghui shook his head, "Forget it, whether this child can be kept or not depends on the will of God." ”

"Master." Hongya's nose was sour when she heard this, and tears fell then.

After Wu Chenghui took the lead in exposing the crimes of the crown princess, the prince never came to her again. She knew that the prince hated herself. Because the prince himself said that if she had been honest at the beginning, the East Palace would still be the calm East Palace, and it would not have become what it is now.

When Guo Xueying arrived with Xuezhan, Wu Chenghui's Xiyan Pavilion was quiet like an abandoned palace. As soon as they walked in, they greeted Hongya.

"Hongya, how is your master?" Guo Xueying asked with concern.

Hong Ya stared at her, trying to hold back the anger in her heart, "My master is fine, there is Lao Guo Chenghui's mother to worry about, but my master is recuperating after taking medicine, and he can't entertain you, please go back first." ”
