242 A man is not as good as his life
"Auntie even knows this!" Zhao Chen was shocked.
Then, he suddenly cried, and he didn't care about the sunshine, so he threw himself at Zhao Ping'an's feet in two steps, "Auntie, I'm so scared, but I pity her." What am I going to do? After all, she is my mother, but I don't dare to live in Funing Palace, so I secretly slept in Yuhua Hall last night. ”
Yuhua Hall is in the back garden, not only far away from Funing Palace, but also where she lived after being kicked out of Kunning Palace.
This is Brother Jiu'er seeking warmth from her.
As soon as he thought of this, Zhao Ping'an's heart softened.
Although Brother Jiu'er was afraid of her, he was also very dependent on her, otherwise he would not subconsciously hide in Yuhua Palace.
"Brother Jiu'er, don't be afraid, tell your aunt, what does that ghost look like, why does it scare you? What did she say to you? She softened her voice and reached out to touch Zhao Chen's head.
But the boy had a dragon crown on his head, and she couldn't touch the top of his head, and there was a strange sense of disobedience. At least Zhao Ping'an had a faint thought in his heart: this little fat smasher is actually the emperor, even if it is temporary.
Zhao Chen raised his little face with tears in his eyes, and when he saw Zhao Ping'an's firm gaze, he felt safer, and muttered, "That's it...... That's what my mother looks like...... She didn't say much, just cried. Later, he only said one sentence: said that she was so lonely underground, and asked me to go with her. ”
"Are you the only one who sees? Were you asleep or awake? Zhao Ping'an asked again.
Zhao Chen looked at the flat dan.
Bian Dan hurriedly trembled and said, "Slave maid...... The slave and maid also saw it. Every night, slaves and maids are on duty for the emperor, and when the emperor is asleep, he can change to someone else. ”
Bian Dan's face was pale, and there were two big dark circles under his eyes, and his complexion was not good when he delivered the decree yesterday, and now he has to add a new word.
Zhao Ping'an groaned.
She is a person who has experienced the aggravation of life, although she has no afterlife, she has not visited the underworld, but she is no longer an absolutely right scientist. Believing too much in science is also a type of superstition. The world is too complex, and human beings are too small, how can they all be understood?
Therefore she believes in the doctrine of the demons and gods. At least, she believes in ghosts.
But even if it is a ghost haunt, it is not completely illogical.
For example, Ye Guifei.
The ghost who can really stay in the sun and make trouble must be very wronged, what is there to be wronged about Ye Guifei? People like her were dragged directly to hell, right? It is estimated that even the trial can be saved.
When a weak and poor person dies, he can become a life-reaper, because someone in the yang world owes her something and wants to get Yan back. If Ye Guifei's kind of evil can stay in the yang world, she will underestimate the gods and ghosts of the underworld.
So although she believes in ghosts, she thinks that this time the ghosts will say: We don't carry this pot!
It's not a ghost, someone must be doing it.
Think about the environment first: if you can haunt the Funing Palace without alarming the officers and soldiers defending the city, you must be the people in the palace.
Think about the motive again: Although Ye Guifei did a lot of hurtful things during her lifetime, Brother Jiu'er didn't really hurt anyone except for being naughty and messing around. In other words, no one has a direct enmity with Brother Jiu'er.
Moreover, the ancient people worshiped the imperial power and succumbed to the imperial power, even if there were really ill-intentioned palace people and female officials, because Jiu Ge'er was already the emperor, no one would take the initiative to provoke and target.
Finally, think about the conditions: according to the ancestral system, although her imperial brother also had concubines when he was alive, the number was really small. Among the emperors of the great river, it should be the least. is just such a person, and it makes the big and small concubines toss and die a lot. The rest are all cautious human beings who can survive their lives by stuttering.
Moreover, the important thing is that there are no children, no favors, and no deep maiden background.
Such a person finally survived to the fall of the Ye family, and as an elder of the emperor, not to mention upright, he was living comfortably, without any benefits, how could he have the courage to run to scare Brother Jiu'er?
There are only two who can fit with the above three points.
The Empress Dowager Tian?
It won't be so boring, and there are no interests involved, not to mention that it's still someone who usually loves to pretend to be a Buddha.
Then guess by the method of elimination, there is only one person left as the most likely target: the biological mother of the fourteenth brother, Yan!
Yan was originally a miscellaneous palace maid, because she looked a bit like the former queen from behind, and her confused brother was drunk and inadvertently lucky. Even so, it was only a royal attendant.
How could I think that people are not as good as fate, so she gave birth to fourteen brothers at that time. Moreover, the fourteenth brother is smart and kind, and she is even liked by her royal brother, and the Yan family was promoted to Jieyu.
However, Yan's vision is narrow, his temperament is gloomy, he is confused, he is unreasonable and self-righteous, he first took refuge in Ye Guifei, and then imagined himself as a noble and arrogant, not like the lord who bows his head to the evil forces. In fact, the Yan family was instigated by the Ye family, and the fourteenth brother was confronted by her.
She thought that after the fourteenth brother ascended the throne in her previous life, she would continue to be held hostage by this foolish mother, and the Yan family still wanted to deal with and frame her, plus the fourteenth brother was raised by the Yan family with some character defects, so she made a strong move a few years ago, and used a little trick to force the Tian family to take the fourteenth brother away from the Yan family and raise him in the Empress Dowager's Cishou Palace after taking over the harem. In order to save face for the fourteenth brother, the Tian family replaced the former emperor who had gone to promote her to one, and now it is Yan Zhaoyi.
Thinking about it like this, Zhao Ping'an had a score in his heart, and carefully asked Brother Jiu'er and Bian Dan about the haunting several times.
After repeated questioning, I learned that they didn't really see the face of the "female ghost" clearly, not based on the clothes and hair accessories, and the sentence "son". In fact, the "female ghost" didn't enter the house at all, it was a shadow reflected through the window paper.
The rest is whining and crying, screaming sharply, and the vague words that I want to take the ninth brother away.
This shows that the "female ghost" doesn't dare to say too much, for fear of being exposed.
"You say, the shadow is reflected in this place?" Zhao Ping'an walked to the window and gestured.
Brother Jiu'er was a little dazed.
Bian Dan nodded and confirmed, "The window lattices of Funing Palace and Wende Hall are the same style, and the slave maid remembers it clearly, and it is in this horizontal bar." ”
"Ye Guifei is not such a tall person." Zhao Ping'an snorted.
"It's not a floating ......," Zhao Chen retorted, but the more he spoke, the quieter his voice became.
Because of Zhao Ping'an's repeated questions, he was forced to recall repeatedly, and now he is a little less afraid. I wasn't afraid, but I thought about it, and suddenly felt that the "ghost" might not be so simple.
Zhao Ping'an glared at him and ordered, "Today you move back to Funing Palace to live." ”
"Auntie......" Zhao Chen showed a pleading look, because he was still a little scared in his heart.
"When you were found out that you ran out of your dormitory to live in the back garden without permission, did you think your reputation was too good?" Zhao Ping'an glared.
