Chapter 58: Lying down at night and listening to the wind and rain
Until before going to bed, Gao Lingxi didn't wait for anyone to come to see her, and even none of Daohe's gifts were sent in. Chuxiu Palace is like a frozen palace, cold and hard, the people inside can't get out by themselves, and the people outside don't want to enter at all. Filled with frightening loneliness.
Xu was unhappy in his heart, Gao Lingxi tossed and turned, and it was difficult to sleep. I can't help but think of the night when Fucha was murdered under his window. The window sash that is difficult to close, the blood on the hands, the bones that are cold and stiff and impossible to look at...... Instant palpitations, cold sweat trickling.
"Bilan." Gao Lingxi sat up violently and called Bi Lan a few times. Strangely, no one answered at all. "Bi Lan, are you in the ear room?" Gao Lingxi raised his voice and called a few more times, but still no one answered.
She began to feel uneasy, and thought about burying her head in the brocade quilt and pretending to be asleep to hide the panic in her heart. didn't know why, instead of curling up herself, Gao Lingxi had the courage to lift the brocade quilt, reached out and grabbed a piece of clothing and got out of bed.
Even though she was very scared, she still wanted to find out if Bi Lan was in the ear room and what was going on outside!
The door of the bedroom creaked open, and Gao Lingxi poked his head out, but he really didn't notice that someone was there. Not only was Bilan nowhere to be found, but even Wang Xizi, who was on duty at night, didn't know where he went.
"What about people? Why can't you even see a ghost? Gao Lingxi was puzzled, and suddenly heard a "whoosh" in his ears. She didn't hesitate and turned away.
"Fang Fujin, are you looking for me?" The woman stood in front of her with a cloak and a disheveled hair, unable to see her face clearly, but wearing a very familiar flag costume.
"Rich ...... Fucha Gege! Gao Lingxi trembled at her lips, she couldn't believe her eyes. Are you a human or a ghost? A terrible thought flashed through his mind in an instant, it was the Fucha Clan's unjust soul who was asking for his life!
"Fang Fujin, the concubine hasn't congratulated you yet, and the concubine of Jin Feng has raised the flag again. The concubine's death is really unjust, why don't you persuade the fourth master to avenge me...... Side Fujin ...... I'm wronged......" The female ghost suddenly lifted the long hair blocking her face, her green face and fangs, and her mouth dripping blood, and she rushed towards Gao Lingxi.
"Help, help......" Gao Lingxi struggled like crazy, but was restrained by the female ghost and couldn't move at all. Seeing that the female ghost's face was getting deeper and deeper, and her sharp teeth were about to bite her throat, Gao Lingxi was so anxious that tears fell, this is what it feels like to call the heavens and the earth ineffective.
The sense of panic was accompanied by discouragement, Gao Lingxi only felt that his body fell backwards, and the whole person fell heavily to the ground, unconscious.
"Fuchagege, don't try to harm me." Gao Lingxi felt his shoulders tighten, as if someone was pressing, and the whole person bounced up in a daze. "Fuck off, don't touch me."
Bi Lan was frightened by the concubine's behavior, knelt down with a thud, and confessed to the ground: "The concubine forgives me, the slave didn't mean to disturb your sleep." It was really yesterday that the queen made a decree, and she led the concubines of the six palaces to Cining Palace early this morning to ask for peace. For the sake of the mother, the slave and maid thought that they should not be late, so they had to ......"
Gao Lingxi listened to Bilan's words like a cannon, and was even more angry, sat down with her body propped up, and asked, "You girl, where did you go last night?" Why is there no trace, you can know that I almost died in ......" The word female ghost, Gao Lingxi didn't dare to declare it, after all, strange power and chaos are taboo in the palace.
When she thought about it, she felt that something was wrong. If the person she met was really a female ghost, then how could she lie on the bed in a good manner? "Where did you find this palace, but did you see anyone else?"
"Mother, the slave really doesn't understand what you're talking about!" Bi Lan was aggrieved: "The slave maid was in the ear room all the time last night, and Wang Xizi was guarding the porch, so he should be able to testify for the slave and maid." Besides, what did you encounter last night? The slave and maid came together, and they came to the bedroom to wake you up, and they didn't see anyone else. Besides, how can you be found in the side when you are asleep? ”
"Really?" Gao Lingxi couldn't believe it, could it be that what he saw was just a dream?
"How dare the slave lie to you!" Bi Lan remembered that Concubine Fang Cai mentioned Fucha Gege, and couldn't help but guess: "Is Niangniang having a nightmare?" The dream may be a little more real, and it will surprise you. Why don't you send a maid to the imperial doctor to take a look at you? ”
Touching his cheeks, Gao Lingxi realized that there was still cold sweat on his forehead that had not faded, and his heart suddenly felt better: "So, it's really my nightmare." The imperial doctor doesn't have to ask, hurry up and wash and change clothes for me, I really can't let the queen wait for us, and go to Cining Palace late to ask for peace. ”
Although he still felt strange in his heart, Gao Lingxi still distinguished the priorities, quickly packed up, and wore the peacock concubine dress sent by the Internal Affairs Office.
Bi Lan calmed down from Fang Cai's helplessness, waited for the concubine to dress up as usual, and couldn't help but say: "The accessories that Niangniang chose today are a little simpler, but they are just worthy of your current identity." The Queen Mother saw that she liked it. ”
"Before the mourning period is over, everything is safe, and there is really no need for luxury." Gao Lingxi really couldn't lift his spirit to dress up, and said helplessly: "Bilan, I always feel that last night's dream seems to be a bad omen. ”
"Mother, don't scare yourself." Bi Lan smiled with relief, and chose nice words to say: "The emperor cherishes his mother." Now is the time for you to be beautiful, and who doesn't have a little more respect for you. Even if you are jealous, you will not dare to give in easily. ”
Looking at his magnificent appearance in the mirror, Gao Lingxi nodded calmly: "I hope so." Take things as they come. ”
"The queen mother is blessed with Jin'an." Su Wanrong took the hand of the noble man and slowly walked into the main hall of Changchun Palace, followed by the overjoyed Zhang Changzai. The faces of the three of them were filled with the same kind of joy, not like a gentle smile, but like something good to be happy about.
Lan Xin noticed that even though she was blessed, Su Wanrong didn't let go of the noble man's hand. And Xiu Guiren's movements were restrained and gentle, and he didn't seem to dare to push too hard. Such an intimate and cautious move has undoubtedly given the answer. Thinking like this, Lan Xin didn't want to pretend to be confused, so he asked: "But our show nobles have good luck?" ”
Jin Peizi was a little puzzled, and when she heard the queen ask like this, her heart trembled slightly: "What kind of good luck is it?" ”
Xiu Guiren was silent shyly, his cheeks were puffed puffed pink, he lowered his eyelids very reservedly, and gently shook the hand of the pure concubine.
"The concubine understands." Jin Peizi is not stupid, although she is not a person who has come over, she has always seen others. "The noble man has really become a veritable nobleman. It seems that the emperor's reward is really appropriate! ”
Huang Rui'e was puzzled, frowned and asked, "What kind of dumb riddle is the queen leading everyone to guess?" The concubine is not as smart and sharp as Peizi's sister, so I am afraid that I can't guess it. ”
Qi Qige pursed his lips, glanced at the noble man inadvertently, and turned his head again, quite a little irrelevant.
"Pure concubine, Xiugui has never experienced it, and her skin is thinner, so you will tell everyone for her!" Lan Xin's eyes were full of smiles, and even his voice was full of joy.
Su Wanrong blessed her body and said with a smile: "Late last year, Xiu Gui was unwell. Inevitably alarmed the emperor and queen, and the concubine secretly passed on the imperial doctor to ask for a pulse from the noble people, and prepared to report it again today. Who knew that the imperial doctor didn't know if he didn't see it, but we, a new upstart, were already two months pregnant. didn't really respond to Sister Jin's words, she was actually a nobleman. ”
Lan Xin was really happy for Hongli, and hurriedly ordered Xue Guining to go to Emperor Ming, and said: "Go to Cining Palace to ask for peace in a while, pure concubine, you have to personally present this good news to the Queen Mother, and also make the Queen Mother happy." ”
Huang Rui'e was jealous in her heart, but she pretended to be extremely envious on her face: "The emperor has only stayed at Xiu Guiren's place two or three times, and my sister has it, isn't this great luck!" But it's really blessed. Glancing at the pure concubine, Huang Rui'e continued: "It is also a pure concubine who is blessed, whoever is close to him will have good luck." Maybe the baby of the noble man is also a lively little brother! ”
Xiu Guiren's face was like red glow reflecting snow, and he turned around shyly, his head hanging lower. But no matter what, she couldn't hide the joy on her face. One is a first-time mother, and the other is a mother who is more precious than her son.
Lan Xin also ignored what others said, and hurriedly instructed Zhilan: "A few days ago, the concubine gave the palace a statue of Guanyin that has been opened, you should hurry up and invite it." The right to borrow flowers to offer Buddha to the palace, bless the safety of the mother and son of the nobles, and rejoice in the Lin'er. ”
"Thank you, Queen." The joy of the noble people is beyond words.
Lan Xin said: "Quickly calm down, sit and talk." You'll have to watch your body in the future. ”
The pure concubine diligently helped the noble man sit down, and everyone laughed a few words. Just as Zhilan walked out with the statue of Guanyin, he heard the little eunuch outside the door preach: "Hui Guifei Niangniang has arrived." ”
