217 The Nine Heavens (171)

The Empress Dowager Xi was furious, pushed hard, and pushed the medicine bowl to the ground, and all the medicine that the pearl had been boiling for a long time was spilled, and even the bowl was smashed with a bang, and the medicine juice splashed everywhere.

Pearl sighed: "Niangniang, what are you doing here?" ”

It's all come to this point, and the eunuchs of the palace in Changchun Palace heard that the Empress Dowager Xi was not the emperor's biological mother, and she still did the thing of leaving her mother and son in the past, so she avoided it for a long time, and she still thought of a little affection to take care of her, but she didn't appreciate it.

Pearl leaned over to pick up the broken porcelain, and the Queen Mother of the West shouted: "Go, get that dead girl back for me." “

Pearl pretended not to hear it, picked up the fragments and left.

The door squeaked shut, and the Empress Dowager Xi scolded angrily: "It's really a tiger falling in Pingyang and being bullied by dogs, you dare to do this to me." “

Pearl went out and never came back.

The Empress Dowager Xi was alone in this dilapidated house, lonely, listening to the wind outside the window, becoming more and more lonely and lonely.

Compared with the previous prosperity and wealth, thinking of the estrangement between his son and himself, he felt sad from his heart, and couldn't help crying loudly. After crying for a while, there was a small sound at the door, as if someone was scratching the door frame with their fingernails.

The Queen Mother of the West was a spirit, leaning against the wall and curling up in the bed.

The scratching noise grew louder and louder, and she covered her ears, her eyes staring in horror at the mottled wooden door.

Cold Palace, a place she never thought of in the past, is in disrepair and is overgrown with several unlucky palace concubines and palace people...... Maybe it will be ...... at night Hundreds of ghosts are rampant?

After all, this is a harem, the biggest battlefield for women in the world, and there are a few unjust souls in every well.

Thinking of this, her breathing became rapid, and she simply covered her head with the damp smell of the quilt, curled up in a ball, and shivered.

The door creaked open, and there was the sound of soft footsteps.

Is it a pearl?

The Empress Dowager Xi hid in the quilt, holding her breath and not daring to move.

The footsteps stopped, and there was a thud, as if something had been placed on the table.

Then there was a creaking sound, as if something hard was being sawed with a small saw.

The Empress Dowager Xi's hair stood on end.

"Niangniang, the skull has been sawed off, so you have to eat it while it's hot."

A yin and yang strange voice came, and the Empress Dowager Xi screamed in fright, she remembered that the medicine primer was sent in a small silver bowl back then. The man's skull was not to be sawn off little by little with a small saw, but the man was still alive and dug out with a silver spoon while it was hot. All this is done by the most trusted eunuch under her command, she is a nobleman, as long as she waits in the room.

And now, that yin and yang weird voice is really like the eunuch Xia back then, did he do it back then?

Empress Dowager Xi's heart tightened, her hands tightly grasped the quilt, she was afraid, afraid that the quilt would be uncovered, and a plate of gray-white fishy things appeared in front of her.

"Give back my brain, give back my life." The woman's hoarse voice came. Squeak, like a fingernail scratching.

Is Chen Yingxiu's ghost coming?

Empress Dowager Xi is a tough woman, she was scared just now, but now she suddenly thought that Chen Yingxiu was just a lonely little palace maid, she was eaten by her when she was alive, what was there to be afraid of when she died?

Thinking of this, she was vicious, and suddenly lifted the quilt: "A dead palace maid, the old lady is still afraid that you won't succeed?" “

The door slammed shut, and the dress flashed, and sure enough, it was the figure of a woman.

Empress Dowager Xi jumped out of bed, rushed to the door, and saw the white figure disappear in the dark corridor.

"It's not a ghost, it's a human, it's someone who wants to harm me!"

Empress Dowager Xi reacted and sneered: "Do you have your big dream of the Spring and Autumn Festival, and you want to harm me? No way! ”

was full of fear, and after seeing that the woman's figure was sure that it was not a ghost, her heart burned with a raging fighting spirit, it must be the dead girl who increased her longevity to make a ghost, in this case, what else am I afraid of?

The Queen Mother of the West has been fighting with people openly and secretly for many years, but at this moment, she has the strength to shout: "Pearl, pearl." ”

After a while, Pearl came over from the other end: "Mother." “

"I'm hungry, you go to the kitchen and get something to eat."

The Empress Dowager Xi said and turned around and walked to the room.

Pearl said lightly: "Niangniang, this is in the cold palace, there is a fixed time to eat, how can there be food now." “

The Empress Dowager Xi was stunned: "What? “

"Niangniang, there is nothing to eat, you can bear with it."

Shall I bear with it?

The Empress Dowager Xi was furious: "If you don't have it, go find it for me, and if you don't have it in the cold palace, go to the imperial dining room." “

"Niangniang, the keys to the palace gate are all down, and the slaves and maids can't get out."

Pearl looked embarrassed.

The Empress Dowager Xi sat at the table angrily, the more she thought about it, the more angry and hungry she became.

These days, I am in a bad mood and my diet is greatly reduced, which will make me hungry and uncomfortable, and my chest will be attached to my back.

She thought about it and decided to go to the kitchen to find something to eat by herself, for a long night she couldn't just stand up like this.

She walked out along the corridor, the cold palace was not big, and there were lanterns in the corridor quite far away, and the Queen Mother Xi walked over and took the lantern down and held it around the cold palace.

The cold palace has been barren for too long, overgrown with weeds, and there are black holes around it, and there is no sound at all.

She spun around and finally found the kitchen in the backyard, the door closed and the flickering candlelight shining through the window.

There are people.

The Empress Dowager Xi was overjoyed, and pushed the door open, but there was no one inside, and there was a candlestick on the edge of the cauldron stove, the candlelight was swaying, and the shadows on the wall were full of shadows.

The Empress Dowager walked over, lifted the lid of the big iron pot, saw the contents by candlelight, and threw the lid out with a bang.

The lid of the pot fell to the ground with a clatter, and the sound was particularly deafening in the dark night.

The Queen Mother's teeth chattered, because there was a human head lying in the pot, a woman's head, and after seeing her, the skull's eyes and bones were spinning.

"Mother, come on, eat my brain, mother."

'Niangniang, you're hungry, eat, eat, it's delicious.' ”

The Empress Dowager Xi was so frightened that she turned her head and ran, the door suddenly slammed shut, and the head shouted in the pot: "Niangniang, don't go, Niangniang." ”

The Empress Dowager Xi was frightened, this was Chen Yingxiu, this time it was really her ghost.

She was running around the kitchen, and the head was giggling in the pot, fluttering.

The Queen Mother of the West was like a headless fly, panicked, and accidentally knocked down the candlestick on the stove, the candle fell to the ground, and the flame burned to the corner of her skirt.

The Empress Dowager Xi lowered her head to pat her skirt, she was anxious to avoid making a mistake, her feet slipped and fell to the ground, and the candle that fell to the ground was burning. The Empress Dowager Xi propped her hands on the ground, found that her hands were wet and a large piece, and carefully smelled the smell of vegetable oil.

It turned out that vegetable oil was poured on the ground, and when she fell to the ground, her dress was also full of vegetable oil, and the flames at the corners of her skirt quickly burned.

"Help, help."

The Empress Dowager of the West shouted for help.

The cold palace was silent.

The little eunuch Qian Si stood outside the kitchen, coldly looking at the firelight reflected in the window paper. The kitchen door had been locked by him from the outside, and the Empress Dowager Xi could only flutter in the kitchen and had no way to escape.

"Depend on your life." With that, he turned and disappeared into the night.

The fire is getting brighter and brighter.
