Chapter 67: The Haunting of the Central Plains (2)
It was not only Tangli Ju that night that made trouble, but also the garden of the palace. It is said that when the two boys patrolled the garden, they not only faintly heard the sound of someone crying. Then the two of them felt a chill in their backs, and when they turned around, they saw a white figure with long hair floating by, and the speed was so fast that the two little men who were on patrol at night lost their lanterns and crawled back to the duty room.
Early in the morning of the second day, the people of the palace talked about the haunting of Tang Liju and the palace garden. Talking about ghosts and discoloration:
"Really, last night the county lord was so frightened that he yelled in the house, saying that Red Peony was here to seek revenge."
"Red peony?" A maid was puzzled: "Isn't that the third-class sprinkler girl in Tang Liju, didn't she say that she died of colication a few years ago?" ”
"What a colic!" Another older maid whispered, "I heard that the red peony was stabbed to death by the eldest lady, no, the county lord!" ”
"What?!" Everyone gasped, "Didn't they all say that the county lord has the softest heart?" In the past, he was polite to others, and his voice was soft, how could it be that the county lord stabbed him to death?! ”
The old maid sighed faintly and whispered, "My cousin is working as a nurse, and the body of the red peony was dripping blood when it was pulled out of the door in the west corner, how could it be that he died of strangulation?!" The older maid still feels creepy when she thinks about that scene.
"Eh, don't talk about it, hurry up and get to work," a young lady came over and said, "Today is Zhongyuan, and the whole house has to chant the sutra excessively, there is a great Fa, you are still chatting here, and if something goes wrong, be careful about your skin!" When they heard this, they hurriedly dispersed and went about their work.
"County Lord, it's crazy outside." Nanling Mo got up early in the morning and finished freshening up, and was sorting out her clothes and preparing to go to Rongjin Hall to greet Mrs. Jiang, and go to the ancestral hall to chant and pray for the ancestors, when she heard Mei Qian hurriedly running in and gasping for breath.
"What's wrong?" Nanling Mo asked quietly on his face.
"Listen to the people, it was haunted last night!" Mei Qian relayed what she heard to Nanling Mo one by one.
"Yesterday, my brother also said, 'The son does not say anything strange and chaotic', and my grandmother is taboo, just listen to it, don't spread it out of this room, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble." After speaking, he took the four plums to Rongjin Hall.
As soon as Nanling Mo entered the courtyard of Rong Jintang, she heard Mama Jin's stern voice say: "What kind of tongue to chew early in the morning, if you can't squat under your tongue with your words, then I don't mind helping you keep your tongue!" ”
Nanling Mo paused, looked back at Mei Qian who was following behind, Mei Qian hurriedly lowered her head and didn't dare to speak. Listening to Mama Jin's meaning, if you continue to talk about it, you will cut your tongue.
"Grandmother, Mo'er has come to greet you." After Nanling Mo entered the house, she first greeted Mrs. Jiang, and then gave a half-salute to the mother and daughter of Concubine Jiang and the mother and daughter of the Zhao family, who had already arrived.
"Good boy, sit down quickly, and when the brothers arrive, we will eat together."
"Did the county lord sleep well last night?" Zhao deliberately cared, "The concubine fell asleep last night, and then Yin vaguely heard the noise in the East Courtyard, but what happened?" ”
"Second Aunt Lao asked, my niece went to bed early and didn't hear anything." Nanling Mo replied with a smile, "I didn't hear anything from the personal maids in the morning, and it was a trivial matter that didn't matter, so it wasn't worth mentioning." ”
How could Mrs. Jiang not see that the Zhao family was deliberately talking about a topic that made him unhappy, so she directly diverted and said: "Second daughter-in-law, the old body over there in the West Courtyard should be handed over to you to take care of, I don't know if you are ready according to the customs of Beijing today?" You haven't been in Beijing for the past few years, and there are some changes that you don't know, but you can't be wrong at all. Why don't you follow Mama Gui to take a look! If you don't have time to eat, then use it directly in the West Courtyard, and when the time comes, go directly to the ancestral hall. ”
Zhao pinched his palms fiercely with his fingernails, and it took a long time to barely squeeze out a smile: "Mother, is it a daughter-in-law, I forgot to ask for advice in advance." In this way, it will bother Mama Gui. ”
At the same time that the people of the Zhennan Royal Mansion began to worship, the palace also began to perform rituals.
Helian Yue is the most impatient with these things, first, Beirong does not have these so-called seven rules and eight rules, every year is the beginning of the year and the middle of the year to dance a sacrificial dance, and there is no need to kowtow so desperately and kneel to the scriptures; Second, she herself has no feelings for Dayanguo, and even rejects Dayanguo. Therefore, when she kowtowed and knelt down, she hummed and chirped in all kinds of discomfort, and always made something strange for Yun Tianfeng to pay attention to her.
"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you?" Xue Yan whispered anxiously beside him. I saw that Concubine Yue was still humming before, but at this time, she suddenly fainted, frightening Xue Yan, the palace maid beside her.
"What's wrong with this?" Empress Dowager Chen was quite dissatisfied when she heard the voice, she stretched her voice and said dissatisfiedly: "Concubine Yue has married our Dayan, and she is our Dayan's daughter-in-law, so she should abide by our Dayan's rules!" I can't stand kneeling, what else do I do as a concubine of our Dayan Kingdom. Empress Dowager Chen didn't even think about it, so she complained about Concubine Yue with disgust. All kinds of things before have made her very dissatisfied, but the emperor didn't listen to her at all like a changed personality, and protected Concubine Yue very tightly, and rested in the Yueyue Palace every day, so she couldn't be punished, and it wasn't ......
"Your Majesty, Niangniang seems to be pregnant, but because the month is still shallow, the slave maid is not sure when she takes Niangniang's pulse this morning." Xue Yan knelt on the side and bowed her head in reply.
Yun Tianfeng was overjoyed: "Hahahaha, it's really the ancestor manifestation, the ancestor blesses it!" "The eldest son of the imperial concubine Xie Wanru is almost a year old, but he has always been sick and crooked, and he is not as cute as a seven-month-old baby. Yun Tianfeng has always hoped for another healthy child.
The news soon spread to Nanling Mo. She sneered in her heart: "Yun Tianfeng, I followed you everywhere at the beginning, and lost our children for your great cause of ascending the throne, but you are dedicated to Xie Wanru, how can a person like you have a child?!" ”
At night, Nanling Mo changed into night clothes and said to the air: "Mu Yi, do you have a way to bring this county lord into the palace without being discovered?" ”
"Yes," Mu Yi said in a short voice.
Although Nan Ling Mo's light skills are not bad, and it is no problem to avoid the secret guards of the general palace, but the palace is full of masters, and it is not so easy for Nan Ling Mo to avoid their eyes. On the premise of not wanting to expose Huayu Lou's Evil Moon Pavilion, she could only ask Mu Yi for help.
So the two quickly left the palace and slipped into the palace.
In the Inviting Moon Palace, because Helian Yue was suspected of being found pregnant, the whole palace was elated. Even Empress Dowager Chen put all her dissatisfaction with Helian Yue behind her, and told her what to pay attention to when she was pregnant, and the commotion dissipated for a while. Yun Tianfeng stayed to rest with Helian Yue.
Nanling Mo followed Mu Yi and quickly blended into the Inviting Moon Palace, because it was a harem, Mu Yi could only hide in the shadows. Nanling Mo quietly found Xue Yan and showed the jade pendant that symbolized the master of the Evil Moon Pavilion, Xue Yan saw that she was about to kneel, Nanling Mo held her hand, shook her head slightly, and asked in a low voice: "You put the news that Yun Tianfeng has been with He Lianyue recently, what is the current situation?" ”
"It's all rested, and the subordinates have added something to the benzoin, and now they are all asleep."
"That's good." Nan Lingmo nodded, and quickly painted a makeup for herself, making herself very similar to Li Yunqing in her previous life.
Nanling Mo looked at the two people who were sleeping with their necks crossed on the bed, took out a white porcelain bottle and smoked it under Yun Tianfeng's nose, and gently pressed Yun Tianfeng when he first married Yun Tianfeng in his previous life: "Feng Lang, Feng Lang." ”
Yun Tianfeng opened his eyes in a daze, and found that the person standing in front of him seemed to be Li Yunqing. He was so frightened that he wanted to cry out, "Come," but he found that he could not open his mouth, and he was horrified to find that not only could not speak, but also could not even move his body.
He just watched Nan Lingmo step forward, his heart was terrified, he almost collapsed, and his mouth let out a "heh...... Huh" sound. Yun Tianfeng wanted to hide, but he didn't know where to hide, so he could only watch "Li Yunqing" step by step raise the dagger in his hand and walk towards him.
At the moment when the dagger stabbed at Yun Tianfeng, "Li Yunqing" stopped his hand and said, "Feng Lang, do you know the pain of your heart being dug out alive?" The concubine has no heart under the ice, and the concubine feels so cold! Fenglang, grandfather and father are waiting for you, and our unborn child is also waiting for you to be reunited! ”
"Feng Lang, Feng Lang, grandfather said that he was wronged, Feng Lang, our Zhenguo Mansion is too unjust, you come quickly, Lord Yama is waiting for you!" Saying "Li Yunqing", he was about to take his hand.
"No, I won't go !!" Yun Tianfeng suddenly struggled and shouted out with all his strength. Nanling Mo quickly disappeared into the Inviting Moon Palace.
Yun Tianfeng found that he shouted out, and his hands and feet could move, so he immediately sat up and shouted: "Come on, come on!" Xue Yan, who was outside the door, and the little eunuch on duty hurriedly rushed in, and hurriedly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I don't know what to order?" ”
"Did you all find out anyone coming in just now?!" Yun Tianfeng said with a pale face.
"No, the slaves and maids are all outside, and there is no one at all!" The two of them knelt on the ground and said tremblingly.
"Rubbish! Useless! Yun Tianfeng was furious and threw the cup in his hand to the ground. Helian Yue also woke up at this time, and said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" If it was usual, Yun Tianfeng would have been burned to the fire as soon as he heard the sound of numbness, and he wanted to press Helian Yue under him, but today he was not in the mood to deal with Helian Yue, his mind was full of what he had just seen, and he immediately turned over and got out of bed, left the Inviting Moon Palace, and returned to his Qianyuan Palace.
Yun Tianfeng lay on the bed, tossing and turning, and did not fall asleep until it was dawn. The dream was full of Li Yunqing and the Zhenguo Mansion when they raided their homes, and they were sweating profusely. At dawn, the dark green under his eyes was so frightened that Sanbao's complexion changed, and he shouted to ask for a doctor. Yun Tianfeng was indeed dizzy and couldn't concentrate at all, so he also asked Sanbao to go to the Tai Hospital to ask for a doctor, and at the same time the court sent a decree saying that he would not go to the court today.
"Why are you here, Queen Mother?" Yun Tianfeng leaned on the bed, and Imperial Physician Li had just finished checking his pulse and said, "Say hello to the Queen Mother." Then he said to the two: "Your Majesty is fine, he is in the prime of life, but he has not rested well at night." After a few days of good recuperation, I fully recovered. ”
After hearing this, Empress Dowager Chen nodded, and asked the imperial doctor to go down and prescribe medicine. At this time, there were no outsiders in the dormitory, and Yun Tianfeng said with a solemn expression: "Queen Mother, the child saw Yun Qing last night. She ......" Yun Tianfeng lowered his voice and told the Empress Dowager Chen about last night's events, and the Empress Dowager Chen was shocked and said, "This ...... How could it be! ”
"Queen Mother, did you say she came back to seek revenge?!"
"No, no, no, don't worry about it, the emperor, it must have been because he was interrupted yesterday. Don't worry, the queen mother will arrange it immediately, but the emperor, this matter must not be known to others. Yun Tianfeng also knew that if this matter spread out, it would really become a big joke, and then the situation that had just stabilized would be turbulent again.
"Dragon Guard, go check!" After the Queen Mother left, Yun Tianfeng, who had calmed down, sensed that something was wrong with the whole thing, thinking about these things, someone must have deliberately pretended to be a ghost, "Leave me alive, I will interrogate it personally!" There is also a need to send someone to thoroughly investigate the incense of the Moon Palace and the big palace maid Xue Yan! ”
"Yes."
