The palace has been haunted for so long, and it is getting more and more fierce day by day, and in the end, Chunlan Palace finally couldn't stand it, and Concubine Lian invited a senior monk to enter the palace to save the soul.

From the time the monk entered the palace in the morning to the time when the sun set, he had been casting spells in the Chunlan Palace without stopping. Even at night, the frightened Jade Mingzhu still didn't dare to let the monks stop, for fear that as soon as the monks stopped, Shangguan Xianzhong's unjust soul would come to her again!

Therefore, the sound of wooden fish in Chunlan Palace all day long was very lively, but King Qi was dizzy because of the sound of wooden fish, and hid in Wu Zhaoyi's Chunwu Palace, plus Chunlan Palace has had too many strange events these days, and the people in the entire Chunlan Palace were shocked, which made King Qi's mood also nervous, so these days they simply hid in Chunwu Palace to ask for quiet!

Compared with the bustle in Chunlan Palace, the Hibiscus Sakura Palace is very quiet and peaceful.

Mu Lingzhi went out of the palace to Chen Xiang's mansion and didn't come back, Yu Ruyan lay on the bamboo couch under the ginkgo tree alone to enjoy the shade, Brother An led the three midwives to boil water and make chrysanthemum tea in the small kitchen, but after a while, the palace was full of chrysanthemum fragrance.

With a few gentle knocks on the door, Brother An hurriedly went to open the door, and in the dark night, Yu Huaizhu quietly came in wearing a cloak alone.

Compared with the panic when she came to find Yu Ruyan a few days ago, this time she looked much more relaxed, Yu Ruyan got up and welcomed her to sit down at the stone table under the tree, let Brother An serve the freshly brewed chrysanthemum tea, and smiled at Yu Huaizhu: "Sister, the summer day is dry and dry, although this chrysanthemum tea is ordinary, but the fire is the best." ”

Yu Huaizhu took a sip of the teacup when she heard this, and said with a smile: "It's really good!" ”

After that, he looked at the indifferent Yu Ruyan in front of him, looked grateful, and said sincerely: "My sister's method is even better!" Now the Chunlan Palace is already in a panic, and even the monks have to be invited in. ”

Hearing this, Yu Ruyan couldn't help but smile and said: "Bad people do bad things, naturally afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night, if you are like me and you, how can you believe in the mist of unjust souls asking for your life, so in the end, it's just that she herself is afraid!" ”

Listening to the noise of wooden fish coming from the Chunlan Palace from afar, Yu Huaizhu said: "Now that they have invited a senior monk to enter the palace, what will my sister do next?" Do you continue to pretend to be a ghost to scare her tonight? ”

Looking at the white chrysanthemums in full bloom in the teacup, Yu Ruyan said slowly: "Since it is a ghost, it is naturally afraid of those 'monks', so since there are monks in the Chunlan Palace tonight, then don't make trouble, take a break." Acting in a full set, so that the people of Chunlan Palace will be convinced that it is indeed ghosts that are haunting, not artificially scaring them. ”

Yu Huaizhu was originally a little reluctant because she didn't continue to scare Yu Mingzhu tonight, but after listening to what Yu Ruyan said, she realized that what she said was right.

If a person as smart as Concubine Lian still has ghosts when the monks are doing it, I am afraid that they will think that these ghosts are not real, but someone is deliberately scaring them.

Only when they cooperate with them, when the monk is there, the ghost disappears, will they believe that the ghost that has been making trouble for so long really exists!

Then, after the monk leaves, the ghost will reappear, wouldn't it make people who believe that the ghost is real completely frightened!

"Oh, by the way, my sister asked me to come, but is there something I need to help?" Yu Huaizhu has admired Yu Ruyan so much, believes in her words very much, and is willing to listen to her assignments.

"I really need my sister to come forward!" Yu Ruyan took a chrysanthemum in her mouth and chewed it carefully, feeling that her lips and teeth were fragrant after chewing, which was very pleasant.

"Sister, say it quickly, but if I can do it, I will do my best!"

At the thought of being able to bring down that vicious Jade Pearl, Yu Huaizhu's eyes flashed brightly, and she couldn't wait!

"It's almost autumn, the weather is getting cooler day by day, my sister might as well accompany the Queen Mother and her old man to go out for a walk if she has time, and walk more to the lively side, and——"

"A few days ago, I happened to pass by the cold palace, I didn't expect that there is a large bamboo forest where it grows very well, the scenery is very good, quiet and comfortable, if the queen mother does not dislike it, my sister can also take the queen mother to walk there."

Yu Ruyan smiled lightly.

Yu Huaizhu thought for a moment, and already understood the meaning of her words, nodded and smiled: "I wrote down my sister's words." My sister reminded me that the Queen Mother is often easy to eat, and the palace has always been lively, so it is good for her old people to come out and walk around more. ”

After thinking about it, Yu Huaizhu finally said with some worry in her heart: "Sister, do you say, will the mother and daughter of Chunlan Palace really take the initiative to recruit the evil things they have done when they are frightened by these ghosts?" ”

"Of course not!" Yu Ruyan replied to her with certainty, and said coldly: "If Concubine Lian's mother and daughter had committed a crime so easily, they would not have done harm in the palace for so many years." ”

"What is my sister going to do next?"

When Yu Huaizhu heard her say this, she felt worried.

Yu Ruyan thought of Mu Lingzhi's idea for her, and couldn't help laughing: "Don't worry, the ghost matter will continue to be troubled, and when you encounter a suitable opportunity, there will naturally be a time when the truth will come to light." Therefore, my sister has to let the Queen Mother understand the things that happened in the harem these days. ”

When she promised Yu Huaizhu to help her find out the real culprit, Yu Ruyan had already thought that with her father's indulgence of the mother and daughter, even if there was more evidence, I was afraid that in the end, she would not completely send Concubine Lian's mother and daughter into hell forever, so only by inviting the queen mother, and only if the queen mother was asked could she suppress her father and emperor, and only her crimes could be treated fairly!

Before leaving, Yu Huaizhu suddenly remembered something, and said curiously: "Where did my sister find someone who is so good at pretending to be a ghost and dumb, and her voice is slurred, it really looks like it!" ”

At the beginning, Yu Ruyan asked Mu Lingzhi for help but scared Yu Mingzhu, Mu Lingzhi hated her and was unwilling to go, so he called the secret guards who had been hiding in the shadows and asked them to come out to complete this task.

Yu Ruyan's original plan was just to let people go to Jade Mingzhu's Peony Pavilion to make trouble, but after Mu Lingzhi listened to her plan, after thinking about it, he came up with a better plan for him.

He recruited all the secret guards around him and asked them to go to all parts of the palace to pretend to be ghosts, even where the emperor lived, and in order to make people believe that the ghost was Shangguan Xianzhong, he also prepared a thing for the secret guards-

Yu Ruyan remembered the way the elite guards stuffed things into their mouths one by one with bitter faces, and couldn't help laughing, pointing to a basket of corks in the basket under the windowsill and said: "Sister, please look, it's just for people to have a cork in their mouths, and they can speak indistinctly!" It's really simple! ”

After listening to her explanation, Yu Huaizhu couldn't help but laugh dumbly!

Sending Yu Huaizhu away, Yu Ruyan called Brother An and instructed: "What you stopped before can now continue, you go to the cold palace now, and tell that person that from tomorrow, let her go to the palace wall adjacent to the bamboo forest in the morning and evening, and naturally wait for someone who can avenge her." ”

"Wasn't she the best at singing small songs before she fell out of favor, let her make up a tune for the grievances and grievances she wanted to say in her heart."

Brother An got her order, and hurriedly went to the cold palace quietly!

A few months ago, Yu Ruyan had quietly been to the cold palace several times because of the investigation of the jade girl.

There were many concubines who had fallen out of favor, and although Yu Ruyan didn't get any clues about the Jade Maiden there, she inadvertently learned about some other things.

Although it was impossible to distinguish the truth from the things she heard, Yu Ruyan thought of the bizarre early death of the princes over the years, and then thought of Concubine Lian's ruthless methods, and felt that nine times out of ten it was true.

If you want to bring down the Jade Pearl, you can only bring down Concubine Lian first!

Moreover, thinking of the evil things that Concubine Lian had done to Concubine Shu, Yu Ruyan didn't want to spare the vicious mother and daughter anymore, and decided to eradicate these two tumors for the harem!

Therefore, no matter whether what she heard in the cold palace was true or not, she couldn't care about it.

Rumors are fiercer than tigers, and Concubine Lian used the mouth of Yiyun Dao Chang to designate her as an ominous person, so that she experienced the pain of life and death since she was a child, and she did not live a good life, and her heart was also cowardly, and she always thought that her ominous would bring disaster to the people around her. Now, she also wants to let Concubine Lian taste how terrible the rumors are!

Chunlan Palace was indeed quiet for two days after the monks had done the Fa, but just when Yu Mingzhu happily thought that the unjust soul of Shangguan Xianzhong had been saved by the monks, on the night of the third day, the strange voice sounded again, and this time, it was accompanied by even more strange things-

In the middle of the night, in the Peony Pavilion with the doors and windows closed, it was hard to relax for two days, thinking that Jade Mingzhu, who would never be haunted again, was frightened by the strange sound outside and screamed, shrunk in the quilt on the bed, the whole body trembled, and the cold sweat of the whole body was dripping endlessly, but no matter how hot it was, she didn't dare to stretch out her head, wrapped the quilt to death, and called a room of girls to the bed to protect her.

Not only is she afraid, but the girls in the Peony Pavilion have been scared for a while, and they are shivering and hugging by the bedside, even if there are ice cubes in the house to relieve the heat, but the doors and windows are closed, and the slightest wind in the house can't penetrate it, it is so hot that it is like a steamer, and the girls are like steamed buns in the steamer, hot and afraid, and the atmosphere does not dare to come out!

Yu Mingzhu was stuffed in the quilt, and she didn't even dare to get out of bed, and the sound outside was getting closer and closer, and it seemed that she was reading love poems to her against the doors and windows.

I can't stand it anymore! Yu Mingzhu screamed to the girl beside her: "Quick, go and let my mother invite the monk to come in, I can't stand it, this princess can't stand it!" ”

The girl got her order, even if she was scared, she had to grit her teeth and go to the door, open the door and go to Concubine Lian's bedroom.

However, the moment the girl opened the door, she only heard a scream of horror and despair, and the next moment, the girl was completely frightened and fainted, and fell to the ground like a plop.

When the other girls heard the sound and looked over, they were also so frightened that they cried wolf, and fled around one by one, looking for a place to hide, and couldn't take care of the jade pearl on the bed anymore.

Yu Mingzhu didn't know what was going on, she came out of the bed with a probe, and looked at the door tremblingly, just a glance, she was already scared!

I saw that under the bleak moonlight, at the door of the open hall, there was a half-foot-long tongue hanging, and the blood on the tongue was dripping down, lined with the deep moonlight, which was extremely eerie and terrifying!

"Ah!!h Yu Mingzhu screamed, and like the palace maid who opened the door, she fainted in fright......

When Concubine Lian heard the movement and ran from her bedroom to the Peony Pavilion, most of the people inside were already stunned, and a few girls who were not stunned tied their tongues in a knot to report to her about the horror just now.

Hearing that there was a broken tongue, Concubine Lian didn't believe it at first, because when she came in, there was nothing hanging at the door, thinking that these girls were scared stupid, and hallucinated, and was about to drink the palace people who were scared like frightened birds in the palace, when she accidentally looked at the blood left on the ground, and suddenly her whole body was numb, and a cold cold air spread from the soles of her feet to her whole body, and even the tips of her heads were cold......

It was impossible to leave the palace so late to invite a monk, and in desperation, Concubine Lian thought to herself that King Qi was the Son of Heaven, and the imperial qi on his body should be able to block the evil spirit of the unjust soul and help their mother and daughter escape the catastrophe! But then I thought that if the King of Qi came, let him accidentally show something, I was afraid that there would be endless troubles, so I just gritted my teeth and asked the palace people to light up the lamps and candles, and held the evil Buddha beads left by the monks tightly in my hands, and stayed by the side of the jade pearl with trembling all over my body, looking forward to the sky lighting up soon......

When the news of Chunlan Palace came back to Jinying Palace, Yu Ruyan was accompanying Mu Lingzhi to play chess under the lamp, and when she heard the secret guard's reply, Mu Lingzhi didn't reply: "Since the tongue has scared her, quietly put it away, and put it directly under her pillow tomorrow!" ”

The Dark Guard listened, turned and went out.

Yu Ruyan glanced at Mu Lingzhi, thinking that he had these ideas, she couldn't help but laugh and said: "Your Highness is so interested, she actually did what she said, and really brought in such a long cow tongue, it was really enough for her to be scared!" ”

Mu Lingzhi didn't raise his head, slowly dropped a word on the chessboard, and said disapprerovitically: "Yesterday, I went out of the palace to Chen's mansion, and I happened to hear that his mansion was killing cattle, so I just asked for it." Wait, I have told the butcher to keep all the pig's tongue and cow's tongue for this time, and not to sell it again. ”

Yu Ruyan couldn't help but laugh dumbly: "One tongue has already scared people, Your Highness still has to prepare so many tongues, can't you directly scare her to death?!" ”

"It's not bad to be scared to death, it's a blessing to die early from such scourges. So, I'm going to throw an all-tongue feast for you, the eldest sister! Ah, General! Lady, give and take! Mu Lingzhi's mouth kept on his lips and his hands, but he was a veteran who had eaten Yu Ruyan, and raised his eyebrows and said happily.

Yu Ruyan was stunned by his words, but she didn't know when he had eaten her veteran, watching him proudly raise her veteran and smile as brightly as a mountain flower, she was angry and funny in her heart, and pouted: "I heard His Highness say that when I was a child, I was managed by the Taifu to death, except for reading and practicing martial arts, I never had any time to play." But now, how to play people is so handy, not like a nerd who can only read and practice martial arts when he was a child, but like a naughty naughty boy! ”

Yu Ruyan unconsciously thought of Mu Lingzhi's childhood. When he mentioned his childhood, Mu Lingzhi's eyes sank, and he couldn't help but think of the other three playmates when he was a child: his cousin Prince Yi, Mu Ziyue, the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and his own brother Mu Chenzhi!

used to be the closest playmate, but now it's-

The most admired cousin has become an enemy who does not share the sky, and Mu Ziyue is no longer the simple and kind person she used to be, her mind is ruthless and hypocritical, and the relationship between the two is becoming more and more estranged. And his own brother finally reunited, but he also had a gap because he liked the same person!

A trace of sourness welled up in his heart, and Mu Lingzhi couldn't help but sigh.

Although the voice was soft, Yu Ruyan heard it at the tip of her ear, and her expression couldn't help flashing worry, and she asked with concern: "Why are you frowning, but what is the trouble?" ”

Mu Lingzhi didn't want her to know the depression in her heart, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry for such a good beef tongue, it's wasted like this, or it's wasted on such a hateful body, it's really a pity that a good beef tongue!" ”

Yu Ruyan knew that he was comforting himself by saying this, but she couldn't guess what he was thinking for a while, so she had to ask: "But there is something in Daliang, urging His Highness to go back?" ”

After returning to the palace, because she promised Wu Zhaoyi to wait for her to give birth to a child, Yu Ruyan couldn't leave Daqi for the time being, and she also told Mu Lingzhi about this matter, she wanted him to go back first, but he didn't want to, so he had to wait for her to go together.

Not only King Liang, but Concubine Xie also privately sent several messages asking Mu Lingzhi to return to China, and he knew that the reason why her mother was in a hurry to let him go back was to let him go back with Chenzhi, bring down the prince, and take the position of prince.

But the more at this time, the more reluctant Mu Lingzhi was to go back, he had the heart to give up the thousands of miles of Daliang to his younger brother Mu Chenzhi. If he goes back now, the ministers who follow him in the court will definitely support him to ascend to the throne, and will not support the eight princes who have just returned to the court. Therefore, at this time, he can't go back and get involved, but he also believes that with the support of his father, the emperor and the concubine, coupled with the power he has cultivated in the court army over the years, he will definitely be able to help Chenzhi win the crown prince!

In order to avoid Yu Ruyan's worry, Mu Lingzhi smiled indifferently and said: "It's okay, at this time, there is Chen Zhi on my behalf of me to do my filial piety in front of my father and concubine, just let me be lazy for a few more days, wait for you to deal with the affairs here, the weather is just cooler, suitable for rushing, it is not too late for us to go back at that time, you don't have to worry about me!" ”

Early in the morning of the second day, before dawn, Concubine Lian, who had been suffering all night, couldn't wait to send someone out of the palace to invite the monks to come in and continue to cast spells. And this time, Concubine Lian no longer had any scruples, but actually vacated a place in the palace and let the monks live in the palace, taking turns to rest and cast spells, and never sleep!

When Yu Huaizhu accompanied the queen mother to the gate of Chunlan Palace, she saw that the people in the entire Chunlan Palace were panicked, from the master to the palace people, I felt that every step was empty, everyone was pale, and their eyes were dull, and they knew at a glance that they were affected by the haunted things of these days.

Looking at the smoky Chunlan Palace, the Queen Mother's solemn face flashed with displeasure-

For the sake of a haunted Chunlan Palace, the entire palace began to panic and not be at peace, and now let these monks live in the emperor's harem, how ridiculous!

The dragon head crutch in her hand was hit the ground, and she was about to catch fire, but she was softly persuaded by Yu Huaizhu, and she obediently attached herself to the side of the Queen Mother and whispered: "Queen Mother, let your granddaughter accompany you to other quiet places for a walk, it is too noisy here, so as not to make the Queen Mother's brain hurt." ”

The Queen Mother was so angry that her whole body trembled, and she said hatefully: "This mother and daughter have made the entire palace into a miasma, and there are so many people living in the harem, but they let the two of them turn the world upside down here, it's really infuriating." The emperor even let them come nonsense, it's ......"

Seeing that the Queen Mother was angry, Yu Huaizhu hurriedly supported the Queen Mother and said, "Father and Emperor can't help it." Please be considerate of the Queen Mother, after all...... After all, there is a lot of trouble in the palace...... The ghost thing is not seen by one person, even the father and the emperor have heard that strange and terrifying voice with their own ears......"

Carefully looked at the Queen Mother's eyes, and sure enough, the Queen Mother's face became even more gloomy after hearing about the haunting, so Yu Huaizhu continued more cautiously: "But what is unexpected is that this voice is now concentrated in the ...... It's really weird near the Peony Pavilion, and, I heard that it appeared in the Peony Pavilion last night...... Now...... After making a fuss all night, I was scared and stunned several people, and I heard that the eldest sister was frightened and confused......"

“…… Therefore, there must be no way for Concubine Lian to invite the monks to cast spells, so the Queen Mother will let them go. Your granddaughter will accompany you to a quiet place to relax and dissipate your anger. ”

In fact, the ghost matter in the palace is so big, how can those rumors escape the ears of the queen mother, but the queen mother's mind is not comparable to ordinary people, she doesn't believe in any ghosts at all, but she believes in karma, and she also vaguely understands from those rumors that the kid of the Shangguan family died a stilted death, and even ......

The Queen Mother sighed heavily, her eyes were deep, as if she had listened to Yu Huaizhu's persuasion, and turned around and left Chunlan Palace.

Yu Huaizhu led the Queen Mother all the way to the cold palace, and walked to the bamboo forest that Yu Ruyan said, and sure enough, the bamboo was lush and the environment was quiet.

Yu Huaizhu helped the Queen Mother to walk slowly in the bamboo forest, walking and walking, but there was a woman's resentful singing in her ears, and her voice was like crying, which made people feel chilled when she heard it.

Stopped, the Queen Mother stopped and quietly listened to the woman's complaining singing, and when the song was finished, the Queen Mother's face was already blue, and the fingers holding the crutches were white with anger.

Yu Huaizhu, who was standing beside her, looked at the appearance of the Queen Mother, and a trace of guilt welled up in her heart-

The Queen Mother was already enjoying her old age, but she was pulled into this struggle by them for no reason, and it was really cruel to let an old man face such a truth!

In the cold palace on the other side of the wall, the sound of singing has not stopped, but it is singing the same song over and over again, and the song is repeating the same thing over and over again......

Back in Huayang Palace, the Queen Mother left Yu Huaizhu alone to serve by her side, and let everyone else leave.

As soon as the palace people left, the Queen Mother suddenly shouted at Yu Huaizhu: "Kneel!" ”

Yu Huaizhu was startled, looking at the Queen Mother's angry face, she was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down, trembling in her heart, and her whole body froze!

"Let's say, the haunted incident in the palace and the cold palace matter, who is behind it?" Although the Queen Mother's voice was low, it carried a force that people did not dare to resist, Yu Huaizhu's whole body trembled, and a chill spread all over her body!
