Mrs. Zhou followed Dan'er and took a group of good people from Kunning Palace to Yongshou Palace.

The palace gate of Yongshou Palace was slightly hidden, and a few bold eunuchs looked in through the crack in the door, holding brooms and dustpans in their hands.

It seems that they are the ones in charge of cleaning the Yongshou Palace.

Not far away, there was a group of eunuchs and palace maids pointing around, discussing something.

Seeing Mrs. Zhou and Dan'er coming, everyone hurriedly dispersed.

Dan'er scolded with a straight face, "Are you idle and have nothing to do, and have fun here?" ”

For a while, the onlookers were scared away, and only the few little eunuchs with cleaning tools in their hands bowed down, "Please Mrs. Zhou, Aunt Dan'er is good." ”

Seeing that Dan'er had a capable eunuch and sturdy guards behind him, the little eunuchs no longer looked panicked before, and they all seemed to have settled down.

Dan'er said in a deep voice: "Mrs. Zhou lives in the palace, and I heard that Yongshou Palace has opened peony flowers and thinks it's interesting, so I came to watch it." The queen also said that it was necessary to find out whether it was the underground water or what caused the spring flowers to bloom in winter, and it would be better to use the same method to concoct the winter scene in the future. ”

What, come and see?

Several little eunuchs couldn't believe it, but they were still persuaded by this.

If it is really because of the underground living water and other reasons that cause this peony flower to bloom in winter, then the Yongshou Palace is probably ghost-free.

A few little eunuchs hurriedly stepped forward to open the door.

The guards walked in front, Dan'er walked behind Mrs. Zhou, and whispered, "Madame is really not afraid?" ”

"I'm not afraid."

Mrs. Zhou smiled dignified and kind, "Yongshou Palace was lived by the Queen Mother, and with the blessing of the Queen Mother, how could there be ghosts?" ”

When Dan'er heard this, she felt a lot more relaxed.

Come to think of it, this haunted thing of Yongshou Palace happened before the Queen Mother moved in, and it turned out to be an oolong later.

When the queen mother entered the Yongshou Palace, she neither treated the palace people harshly and let anyone die, nor did she harm any harem concubines, how could there be ghosts?

The two followed the guards in, and soon saw a tree of peonies blooming in the corner of the wall, which looked particularly strange in the depression of the ice and snow.

Dan'er frowned unconsciously.

"Scatter all of you and search and search, and search the temple to see if there is any sign of a fire."

"Yes!"

The guards and eunuchs scattered to search for suspicious traces, and some even dug pits directly by the peony bushes, trying to find clues from the roots.

Dan'er accompanied Mrs. Zhou to the side.

Mrs. Zhou was a smart and wise housekeeper woman, and she was well-informed, so Dan'er asked in a low voice, "Madam, can you see anything strange about this flower?" ”

Mrs. Zhou carefully walked around the peony flowers, only to see that the flowers were as big as fists, all of them were water red, and they looked similar to the peonies in spring, but there was a strange aura of how to look at them.

Could it be that the wind is too cold and the Yongshou Palace is too quiet?

That's why this flower is so weird.

She shook her head, "I can't see it either, but I understand a little why the palace people say it's haunted, this flower does look weird, and it makes people's hearts furious." ”

Even Mrs. Zhou said this, Dan'er's eyes darkened, hoping that the guards and eunuchs would find the reason.

Otherwise, this strange story will definitely be spread farther and farther, causing panic in the palace.

……

Dan'er helped Mrs. Zhou to rest in the side hall, which was quite clean, and the palace people cleaned it every day.

It's just that there are not many furnishings in the hall, and it looks relatively empty.

After a while, the guards and eunuchs all returned, and everyone had some unspeakable looks on their faces, and Dan'er said, "How is it, what can you find?" ”

The guard said, "All the temples and houses have been searched, but no trace of a fire has been found. According to the palace people who cleaned the Yongshou Palace, although they came to clean every day, they all left after cleaning, and even if the weather was cold, they did not warm up here, for fear of defiling the palace where the Queen Mother lived. ”

"We also asked other palace people and judged that what they said was true, so it shouldn't be that the fire was overheated to warm up, causing spring flowers to bloom in winter."

Dan'er has some regrets.

But this is also expected by her, if you want to use the heating of the fire to make the spring flowers bloom early, how much charcoal fire will be used? I'm afraid that I won't be able to survive in the house, so I have to put the charcoal pot next to the flowers and smoke it.

These palace cleaners simply don't get so much charcoal.

"What's the strange source of groundwater?"

"Aunt Dan'er, this is impossible."

A little eunuch said: "We dug three feet into the ground by the peony bushes, not to mention the water, and we didn't see any ice ballast." What's more, if there is really warm water passing through the ground, it is impossible to only warm this bush of peony flowers, and there are many flowers and plants next to it that are withered! ”

Both possibilities have been ruled out.

What else is possible?

Dan'er was a little nerve-wracking, "Is it true that I haven't found anything else suspicious?" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and after a while, one of the guards said, "There is a suspicious place, I don't know if it counts." Listening to the palace people who clean in Yongshou Palace, there are occasionally some strange movements when there is no one here, which is strange and scary. The palace people came in to check and found no one, and the flower bloomed strangely, so it was said to be haunted. ”

Dan'er let out a sigh of relief, "I don't know what the movement is, doesn't that add another problem?" ”

"Not really."

Mrs. Zhou suddenly spoke: "This peony flower can't understand human language, so we can't ask about it." But if the person who made a noise in the Yongshou Palace is caught, ask him, maybe you can know why this peony is prescribed strangely, don't you say? ”

Dan'er's eyes lit up, and she felt that what Mrs. Zhou said was very reasonable.

At the moment, I'm afraid there is only one way.

She turned her mind and asked Mrs. Zhou, "Madam, or let's pretend that we didn't find anything and go back honestly." Secretly send a few more masters of the guards to ambush in the Yongshou Palace, and wait for the movement to come out and arrest people, what do you think? ”

"This method is good, we can't startle the snake."

Mrs. Zhou smiled and walked out, Dan'er waved her hand, and everyone followed, and the palace people passing by outside the Yongshou Palace couldn't help but look this way, and their steps were slow.

Mrs. Zhou smiled deliberately: "This scene is really auspicious, it must be the blessing of the Queen Mother, even if she is not in the palace, Yongshou Palace can bloom spring flowers." This is an auspicious good thing, and the queen and the concubine will definitely give birth to a safe and auspicious child. ”

"That's what Madame said."

Dan'er glanced at those palace people, smiled and raised her voice and said, "The slave maid wants to go back and tell the queen the good news, and the mother will definitely be happy." If you tell the Queen Mother, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will also happily want to come back to see this auspicious scene! ”
