Chapter 257: Nightfall
Speaking of ghosts, everyone is in spirit.
Actually, no one has ever seen a ghost, but everyone has heard of a ghost.
Liu Yan sometimes wonders why everyone is so enthusiastic about things they have never seen before. Not to mention that this is not a good thing.
It's so funny to scare yourself, or to scare others?
But thinking about it, as soon as people talk about these topics, Liu Yan also listens to them with relish and enjoys them.
"Where's the haunted place of the palace?"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was silent.
Maude couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth.
The fourth princess asked too ......
This is simply what kind of Sima Zhi, I specially asked the place, and the princess wanted to sneak over to find a ghost.
It was Cao Zhongyan who smiled first: "It's in this lake." ”
Lu Yi added: "I also heard that there was a sound of water when the ghost appeared. ”
"The ghost still makes noise? Then it shouldn't be a ghost. ”
There are many opinions, and there are all kinds of things to say. After all, no one has ever seen what a ghost looks like, but everyone has heard of the legend about it.
Seeing that the topic was getting more and more biased, the fourth prince coughed and cleared his throat: "It's not too early, I'm in a hurry today, everyone must be tired, let's go back and rest early." ”
As soon as he spoke, everyone could only respond.
Liu Yan looked left and right - it seemed that unconsciously, the little brother was becoming more and more prestigious. He might not have said such a thing at this time, and others might not have been so convinced to follow what he said.
The fourth prince placed his three younger sisters under his nose.
The Liuhu Palace was originally not a big place, because there were assassins, and everyone should not live too scattered.
The Qingliang Hall is spacious in the palace, and it is more than enough for the three princesses and their respective people to be crammed into it. Liu Fang and Liu Yan lived in the east side hall, and Liu Yu lived in the west side hall.
The murmuring of the water outside the Cool Hall sounded especially clear on a quiet night.
Gui Yuan took the lamp and placed it in a corner of the dormitory, lit the incense again, and whispered, "Princess, rest early." There is water everywhere in this palace, there are a lot of small insects, and the slave and maid lit some incense to avoid filth, I don't know if the princess smells or not? ”
Liu Yan leaned on the edge of the couch and yawned lazily: "It's okay, I don't feel choked." ”
The palace attendants standing by the door opened the curtains, and Ginkgo came in with a tray.
"Princess, this is the soothing tea sent by His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince, the princess will drink it and then go to sleep."
Liu Yan shook his head: "I can't drink it, let it go." She listened to the movement outside the window, and motioned to Guiyuan to listen: "Listen, doesn't this wind sound like someone is crying?" ”
Gui Yuanxin said that he shouldn't talk about ghosts at night, and he won't be suspicious at this time.
"Princess, this Liuhu Palace is not as good as the palace, and the mountain wind is not like the wind in the city, so you won't whimper when it blows."
"I know." Liu Yan knows no less than longan. Gui Yuan may have heard some of the past from the old Shang Palace and the old eunuch in the palace, but Liu Yan got it from the Splendid Pavilion when he was flipping through miscellaneous books. The last emperors of the previous dynasty were all wine-colored people in the same lineage. Whether it is in the palace or in the palace, many beauties have been collected, some beauties are lucky, the freshness of the emperor has passed in three days and five days, and some have not even seen the emperor's face after entering the palace, so they are silently born, silently die, and they don't even have a name left.
Let's just say that this Liuhu Palace, Liu Yan remembered that it was recorded in the booklet she saw that after the palace was completed, in addition to miscellaneous servants and eunuchs, three hundred women were also selected to fill the service, the youngest of these women was twelve, and the oldest was only twenty. But none of these women were fortunate from beginning to end.
So in this mountain wind, maybe there is really a woman's resentful whimper.
Gui Yuan served Liu Yan to lie down and said softly: "This palace is really a good place to escape the heat, if you are in the palace, even if you use ice, the palace is not so cool." But in this palace, the gusts of wind blew the cold hairs on the body, as if it was late autumn. ”
Ginkgo said with a smile: "So Sister Guiyuan is thoughtful and brings all the spring clothes and jackets, otherwise there will be nowhere to find clothes to change at this time." ”
Listening to the princess no longer speaking, she thought that she was asleep, and Gui Yuan and Ginkgo were on night duty in the palace, and the other went out to watch the things that people brought to tidy up and stop before sleeping.
Early in the morning, there was a heavy fog, the palaces and trees near and far were hidden in the fog, the fog on the lake was even thicker, and the whole Qingliang Hall seemed to float in the clouds, like a fairyland.
Liu Fang gathered the cloak for Liu Yan, and reached out to sweep her bangs and looked at the injured place on her forehead: "Did you sleep well at night?" ”
"It's good, I didn't have a dream all night, and I didn't dream until dawn."
Liu Fang looked a little unrefreshed: "I can't do it, I had several dreams in one night......" She looked left and right, lowered her voice and said: "You said that this palace won't really be haunted, right?" ”
Liu Yan smiled: "Third sister, do you also believe these words?" ”
"Of course I don't believe it...... But you can't ignore all these things. ”
"What did you dream about, third sister?"
When she asked, Liu Fang was reluctant to say.
She had several dreams, one after the other. But the most impressive thing is a woman in red, dancing with long water sleeves singing in the middle of the lake, she can't see her face clearly, she just thinks that she should be a peerless beauty. She wanted to get closer, but she didn't know why the long bridge seemed to never finish, and she tried to walk, but it seemed to spin in place.
When the woman had finished singing, she jumped into the lake.
Liu Fang was startled, and woke up like this, her neck soaked in cold sweat.
Although the dream was awake, the feeling of palpitations in her heart could not be dissipated for a while, and she was still restless until this moment.
Originally, she didn't believe in these gods and ghosts, but now she inevitably had some doubts.
"If you are not sure, there is also a small Buddha hall in the palace, you can let people burn some paper and burn two volumes of scriptures."
If burning paper and scriptures can make the living feel at ease, then burn it, no matter who he burns it to.
Liu Yu came out of the west hall with the hands of the palace people, and the shadows were full of shadows, as if they had come out of the clouds.
"Third sister, fourth sister."
Liu Fang really wants to say that she hasn't been in vain this year, but she is more sensible than before the grounding, and she knows that the elders and young are up and down. If it was before, it was not easy to hear the title of sister from Liu Yu's mouth.
She knows the rules, and Liu Fang will not speak coldly to her.
"Did you sleep well at night?"
Liu Yu shook his head: "I have some seats, and I haven't slept much after tossing and turning all night." ”
"You should bring a pillow or something, it's always better to have a familiar pillow."
