Chapter 515: Haunted
The grandeur of the palace is shrouded in darkness. On the path, I occasionally saw a few palace people hurrying towards their rooms.
However, on the path that the palace people had just walked, a dark shadow flashed quickly.
At this time, a palace man subconsciously turned his head to look at the path they were walking on, and under the light of the moonlight, he saw the black shadow that had just flashed.
"What are you looking at? Why don't you hurry up? Seeing that the palace people were still looking at the path they were walking towards, and also looking at the place where his eyes were looking, and that everything was normal and nothing unusual, he urged him to speak.
Seeing that they hadn't found any clues, and the speed at which the black shadow he had just noticed flashed by, he thought it was just his own dazzle.
A few palace people returned to the room, blew out the lamp and lay down, and gradually fell asleep.
I don't know how long they slept, but by the time they were all woken up by a sob, it was the middle of the night.
"Who? The third watch in the middle of the night still doesn't let people sleep? A palace man rubbed his eyes and said dissatisfiedly.
Other palace people also chimed in.
It's just that I don't know who suddenly pointed out the window in horror, and when everyone saw a shadow reflected in the white paper, they all exclaimed-it was a black shadow floating in the air and throwing the white paper reflected in the body, and under the long sleeves was a pair of slender claw-shaped fingers that reflected through the white paper. And the sobbing cry came from the dark shadow.
"Ahh Hell! ”
The cries of the palace people were repeated in this dark night, but because the palace was too far away, it was not known.
The same happened the next night, the third day, and the fourth day......
The entire harem is in a panic, but the surface is still the same.
But whenever the palace people get together and have nothing to do, they will always talk about it.
Some of them said that the palace was unlucky because they were sick when they saw those unclean palace people, and some people said that it was man-made, and there would always be some ulterior secrets behind the purpose.
As soon as these words came out, they spread among the palace people in the harem.
"You say, could this haunted thing be because the white concubine has something to do with it?"
On this day, the palace people gathered again and discussed this haunted thing.
At this time, Xiao Lizi, who was passing by, was about to go to Princess Ling to report the matter, and as soon as he heard this group of palace people mention the word Bai Fei on the road, he immediately hid, and then listened to what they said.
"I see this on time, you don't know, the location of the white concubine is unknown, maybe it's because of this that these unclean things are attracted."
A palace maid hurriedly interjected.
The other palace people also felt that they were right, but everyone thought of the noble identity of Princess Ling, even if the origin was unknown, she was now the harem concubine, so they stopped this topic and talked about other things.
Xiao Lizi has been hiding beside her, and after listening for a while, she made sure that she would not say anything about Princess Ling anymore, and then continued to go to Princess Ling's palace and report this matter to Princess Ling together.
Princess Ling was not angry when she received what Xiao Li Zi told the palace people to talk about her behind her back.
Xiao Lizi saw that Princess Ling was not angry and slapped the table, he was originally reporting with his head down, so he secretly raised his head, and when he looked up, he saw Princess Ling's angry and smiling expression.
"Humph! In the future, when you hear this kind of thing, you don't have to pay attention to it. Since those palace people like to chew the root of their tongues, let them go! Princess Ling said with a sneer, and then ordered something else, and let him retreat.
Early in the morning, Princess Ling came to the emperor's bedchamber.
Today, the person who was dressed up by a group of palace people and dressed in the costume of the Son of Heaven is still Cheng Lang.
Princess Ling dismissed all the palace people around her, and she looked at the face that was almost exactly the same as Xiao Jin, and her heart was a little rippling.
It's just that when the person turned around and looked at what he said, the spirit princess who was looking at him stupidly could still clearly feel that this person was not Xiao Jin.
In the next moment, she put away the admiration she had just revealed to him, and regained her dignified and cold face.
"What? Still telling? There was a hint of emotion in Cheng Lang's tone.
Princess Ling nodded, and said coldly, "Xiao Jin's voice has never been emotional. "At the very least, I don't have any feelings for myself.
Cheng Lang knew the meaning of her words, so he had to smile dryly.
"I won't go to the morning court today, I want to have a good rest." Princess Ling's cold voice sounded, and she didn't look at Cheng Lang when she opened her eyes.
Cheng Lang just kept Xiao Jin's movements and nodded.
After a while, the time of the Shang Dynasty came, and after watching Cheng Lang leave, Princess Ling returned to her palace.
In the court, the ministers saw that Princess Ling, who was supposed to be sitting next to the emperor, did not come, and some ministers who wanted to oppose Princess Ling's obedience to the government began to move.
Just when Cheng Lang wanted to let the eunuch announce his retirement from the court, a minister standing in the position of Jiuqing stepped forward, hunched over and holding the handle to report.
As soon as Cheng Lang heard that he had something to report, he frowned slightly without them paying attention, and an impatient thought flashed in his eyes.
Cheng Lang motioned for him to continue.
When the minister saw that the emperor allowed him to say it, he was overjoyed, and he quoted the scriptures and said: "Your Majesty, since the founding of the country, I have never heard of a case of harem interference, at this time I am peaceful in the world, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, but there is a harem to interfere in politics, I am afraid that it will ruin the national fortune of Sheji!" ”
When Cheng Lang heard the minister say this, his brows were already wrinkled into a Sichuan shape.
But the minister continued to say to himself: "Therefore, Weichen implores Your Majesty to think twice and abolish the right of the concubine to observe the government of Your Majesty. ”
As soon as he said this, the ministers who supported him also agreed, and some ministers discussed the matter of Princess Ling's concubine.
The more Cheng Lang listened, the more gloomy his face became.
But at this time, there were other ministers who crossed out and supported what the minister said.
"Your Majesty is the son of heaven, how can there be a woman next to him to interfere in the internal affairs of the court! Please also think twice, Your Majesty. ”
This sentence successfully became a gap for Cheng Lang's anger to explode.
He slapped the handrail beside him and said angrily: "Come on, pull these two criminals down and kill them with a rod!" ”
As soon as his words fell, as soon as the two ministers heard such a result, one immediately begged for mercy, and the other still begged him to revoke the rights of Princess Ling.
The other ministers sympathized with the two ministers, so they also came out to persuade His Majesty to show mercy, but Cheng Lang also asked him to pull him down and be killed.
Suddenly, except for the howls of the three ministers who had been dragged away, the entire court fell silent, and no one dared to speak again.
