Chapter 81: The Cat in White
Xiao Yizi was so frightened that her legs went limp, and she almost knelt on the ground.
Su Youyi saw at a glance that the emperor was bluffing, and smiled and took his arm, "Don't be angry, it's all the concubine's fault, let's go inside and sit down and talk slowly, okay?" ”
She said in her heart that the emperor had a lot of problems, and it was he who took the initiative to drink the fruit tea she drank before, and it was he who blamed herself today.
The emperor snorted lightly, and she carried him into the dormitory.
Xiao Yizi was stunned behind him, thinking that the emperor must be angry, but he didn't expect him to just say that lightly, and happily took Su Youyi in.
When did the emperor have such a good temper?
He remembered what Gao Qishou said, the emperor has a good temper on weekdays because no one dares to make him angry, and this sentence seems completely wrong now.
Whether the emperor loses his temper or not, the main thing is to see who provokes him.
"You haven't taken the initiative to come to the Qianqing Palace since I canonized you, let's say, what are you looking for me?"
It turned out that the emperor knew that he was looking for him for something, so he must have been unable to say it clearly in front of the ministers for a while.
Su Youyi didn't go around in circles, and said bluntly: "Did the emperor hear the scream in the palace last night?" ”
"I didn't hear it, but Gao Qishou did, saying that he was like a chicken cat and a ghost. I heard that the queen sent someone to ask, you said that Shuya's girl scared herself? ”
Su Youyi choked, "Your Majesty, in fact, Shuya's original words are not like this, and the concubines are worried that there will be chaos in the palace because of this, so they didn't say it too clearly." Shuya said that she saw a white shadow floating in the Yongshou Palace, so she screamed in fright. ”
The emperor's eyes narrowed slightly, "You are honest with me." ”
Su Youyi said: "The concubine's words are not finished yet. The concubine didn't think that there were really ghosts in the palace, and she didn't believe that there were ghosts in this world. The concubine wanted to ask the emperor for a favor and find out the person who was pretending to be a ghost behind his back. ”
These words made the emperor interested, and he smiled, "How can I help?" ”
Su Youyi leaned into the emperor's ear and said like this, the corners of the emperor's eyes and eyebrows were joking, "If you let those people in the harem know that you went to catch ghosts in person, no one will dare to be jealous of you in the future." ”
Su Youyi was skeptical, "Will it have this effect?" ”
She wanted to hide it from everyone, and if it really had this effect, she didn't mind making it public.
The emperor knocked on her forehead at once, "Yes, they can't hide from you, it's like seeing Zhong Kui." ”
Su Youyi understood now that the emperor was mocking her.
Zhong Kui is an ugly monster with a red face and looks like Guan Gong, and it is not a good word to compare her.
……
Back at the Star Picking Pavilion, Su Youyi immediately took action.
Duofu Duoshou observed the Yongshou Palace for a long time, but he never found anyone entering or leaving, the lock on the palace door did not move, and the door was still hidden.
They found a corner gate, Su Youyi took the two of them in, ordered Duofu to guard by the corner gate, and took Duoshou to go inside.
Although it was daytime, the sun was obscured by clouds, and the depression in the Yongshou Palace was still a little crazy.
Su Youyi wanted to check Yongshou Palace for no reason, and they thought about it and knew that it must have been Shuya who saw something dirty in Yongshou Palace last night, and Duoshou looked a little frightened.
Su Youyi didn't pay attention to his situation and walked straight towards the main hall.
"Nobleman, nobleman, slow down, let the minions be in front!"
Although Duoshou was scared, if something happened to Su Youyi, he, the palace man who followed him closely, would not survive, so he had to go to her head-on.
Su Youyi didn't reply, and gently pushed open the door of the main hall, "It's okay, if you're afraid, just follow me." ”
Although the eunuch is incomplete, he is also a man in the end, how can he let a woman protect himself in front?
Tashou suddenly had the courage to push open the door of the main hall, and with a creak, a large cloud of dust fell from the door frame.
"Ahem......"
Duoshou's eyes and face were gray, and he was choked and coughed repeatedly, and he didn't forget to turn around and smirk at Su Youyi, "Just say it, it's still the slave to walk ahead." ”
Su Youyi couldn't cry or laugh, "Wipe it quickly, I'll go in and take a look." ”
She walked towards the hall, only to see that all the decorations and furnishings in the hall were covered with a thick layer of ash, through which the magnificence of the original palace room could be vaguely seen.
The place where the emperor's favorite concubine lived was, of course, not ordinary.
Su Youyi took a turn inside, looked at all the places where people could hide things, and found nothing unusual.
After Concubine Yi died of illness, this place should have been thoroughly cleaned, all traces of belonging to the original owner were gone, and there was no excess sundries at all.
It's like this person didn't exist.
Tashou finally wiped his face clean, "Nobleman, there's nothing here, can we still watch it?" ”
Su Youyi walked outside the hall and looked in the direction of the Star Picking Pavilion, following where Shuya stood last night......
She pointed her hand in the direction of the West Side Hall, "What Shuya sees is the direction of the West Side Hall, let's go to the West Side Hall to have a look!" ”
It was already afternoon at this moment, the shadow of the sun was slanting to the west, and the light in the west side hall was even dimmer.
The dilapidated doors and windows were closed, and it looked eerie, and I couldn't imagine what it would be like to walk in.
Duo Shou originally wanted to persuade Su Youyi to bring more people back, as long as Su Youyi had a slight retreat, he could find a way to persuade her to leave temporarily.
But Su Youyi didn't stop for half a step, and took a wooden stick outside the palace gate, "You stared at the Yongshou Palace and said that no one came in or out." Then maybe there are still people hiding in this hall, so you can find a guy to hold it, so that no one will come out and hurt us. ”
Anyone else?
Duoshou was already about to cry, looked around, didn't find any suitable guys, and looked at Su Youyi with an aggrieved face.
Su Youyi had no choice but to give him the stick in her hand, pull off the golden hairpin on her head, and walk towards the hall step by step.
The place of the west side hall is not small, but the degree of dilapidation is especially better than the main hall.
Probably because the palace was uninhabited when Concubine Yi lived in the Yongshou Palace, it was in disrepair for a longer time, and there was a damp smell of decay in the air.
Tashou grabbed the wooden stick tightly in his hand and touched his arm, "What smells so bad?" ”
Groov.
There was a strange sound in the inner room, and Duoshou's hairs stood on end in an instant, Su Youyi clenched the golden hairpin, "There may be someone inside, don't let your guard down!" ”
She stepped into the inner chamber first, only to see a black cat standing on the ground, looking at them warily.
And next to the black cat, a yellow and white tanuki cat has been dead for a long time, and the smell of decay comes from here.
Duoshou suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "Noble, Aunt Shuya can't see a cat, right?" ”
Su Youyi sneered and pointed in the direction under the bed, "Do cats wear white clothes?" ”
Tashou followed her gaze and looked under the bed, where a wrapped white robe was hidden.
