Chapter 156: The True Wave Palace
The inside of the main hall was almost spotless, and her reflection could almost be reflected on the bright floor, and the corruption and obsolescence in the courtyard outside, it was like two worlds!
At this time, the sunlight was still very strong, and she could see the furnishings inside clearly, if it weren't for the dusty ground in the courtyard behind her, she would almost suspect that she was back in Xuanyuan's Yunbo Hall now!
Xue'er finally understood why she felt familiar when she looked at this courtyard, because from the inside to the outside, it was not the same as Xuanyuan's Yunbo Palace, but because of the lack of inscriptions and plaques everywhere, she didn't think of it for a while!
"Girl, cough cough!"
The sound of Xuanyuan coughing violently came, waking Xue'er from the shock, she turned her head mechanically, and it took a long time to find her voice: "Xuanyuan ......"
Xuanyuan seemed to know what she was going to say, and said softly, "Help me...... Let's go in......"
Xue'er was stunned and then reacted: "You know here? β
However, before Xuanyuan could answer, a voice of someone spoke faintly outside: "Boss, look, there are footprints here!" β
Then there was the sound of Suosuo's footsteps, and then a low shout: "Stop! β
The voice was so loud that even if Xue'er stood in front of the door of the main hall, she could hear it clearly!
Her face changed, and she rushed to Xuanyuan Yu's side in two steps, bending down to help the other party up: "Those people are chasing after you!" β
Xuanyuan Yu didn't get up with her arm, but showed an indifferent smile at her: "Don't be afraid, they won't dare to come in." β
Seeing the puzzled look on the woman's face, but the dissatisfaction and resentment in her eyes were becoming more and more obvious, Xuanyuan knew that the patience of the woman in front of her had reached the extreme, if she didn't inquire clearly, she was afraid that she would turn her face with herself in the next moment!
"This ...... Here is ......" A voice rang out, filled with fear.
"Ghost Palace!" Another voice trembled even more, "As long as you step inside, you will die in three days, and the death is extremely tragic!" β
"But the footprints on the groundβ"
"If you enter this place, you are already considered dead, let's go back and restore our lives!"
Then the footsteps sounded again, but farther and farther away, until they were completely gone......
Cher's heart almost rose to her throat, and she almost forgot to breathe. Because of the nervousness, his body was trembling slightly, and the cold sweat on his back also broke out.
Just now, she had been thinking about how she would deal with those people if they really crashed in, but she didn't want to be like Xuanyuan Yu said, even if she saw their footprints, she didn't dare to come in at all!
Cold sweat soaked the clothes on his body, although the sun was still shining, his body was cold to the bone.
She sat beside Xuanyuan, as if she could feel some stability in her heart, and her voice trembled with doubts: "Xuanyuan, what kind of place is this?" β
Xuanyuan pursed his lips and spit out three words for a long time: "Yunbo Palace." β
"Wave Hall?" Cher repeated in surprise, "That...... But ......"
Xuanyuan sighed: "This is the real ......"
He didn't wait for Xue'er to speak, and asked, "What did you see when you entered the main hall just now, is the furnishings inside exactly the same as the Yunbo Hall where I am now?" β
Xue'er nodded subconsciously: "Yes, not only is it exactly the same, but it is also exceptionally clean, it can be said that it is spotless!" β
Xuanyuan nodded slightly: "That's right." β
"But......" Xue'er looked confused, "there is so much dust and so thick outside, it looks like it hasn't been cleaned for a long time, how can it be so clean inside?" β
"Naturally, someone went in and cleaned it," Xuanyuan said, "and it should still be every day." β
Xue'er was even more confused when she heard this: "Who is it?" β
Xuanyuan's voice leaned towards her, almost pressing most of the weight on her body: "The people of the Dark Blood Guard." β
Xue'er was stunned for a moment, and then showed a thoughtful expression, as if she had finally figured out something, but there were still many places that did not make sense, and she was about to continue to speak, but she heard Xuanyuan's low voice continue to come: "I only learned about this after following the emperor into the palace, which can almost be said to be an open secret." The biological mother of the three princes, Concubine Yun, originally lived here, but because of the untimely death of the third prince, she was mentally abnormal for a period of time, so she was confined here by the queen mother who was still alive at the time. β
"According to my guess, it should be during the period when Concubine Yun was grounded, someone wanted to assassinate her, maybe by pretending to be a ghost, or other means to scare her, with the intention of making her really crazy."
Although Xuanyuan Yu's narration was flat, Xue'er felt a chill in her heart when she heard it, and unconsciously leaned towards Xuanyuan Yu's body, and the two of them snuggled tightly together.
"However, those people underestimated the emperor's affection for the concubine, and they didn't expect the emperor to suddenly come here late at night, and they were breaking through the conspiracy of those people." The corners of Xuanyuan's mouth showed a hint of mockery, "It's just that the emperor himself also needs to avoid people's eyes, so he chose to keep quiet." It's just that after returning home, Mr. Destiny and the Darkblood Guard dug a secret passage between his dormitory and the Ripple Palace. β
"Because the emperor favored the concubine, the Yunbo Hall was not far from the emperor's bedroom, so this secret passage only took a day and a night." Xuanyuan's voice became lower and lower, "Then the emperor passed through this secret passage and entered the Yunbo Hall to meet the concubine, avoiding the eyes and ears of the queen mother and everyone in the palace. It wasn't until the death of the Queen Mother that Concubine Yun became pregnant again, and the emperor was able to lift the concubine's grounding. β
At this time, Mr. Ying had already left the palace, and he didn't know what kind of psychology the emperor had, so he built an identical palace for Concubine Yun before she lifted the grounding, and at the same time left the original Yunbo Hall idle, and all the plaques and inscriptions were removed. The external claim that the Yunbo Hall was haunted hit the faces of those who pretended to be ghosts in the first place. β
Xue'er listened quietly, but she couldn't help but sigh with emotion in her heart: Concubine Yun was very prosperous for a while, and she was beautiful for a while, but after all, she was inevitably calculated, and her two children were killed and lost in the eyes of people, I am afraid that the original queen mother was grounded, and she was afraid of the reason why she was too favored by the emperor, right?
At the same time, I couldn't help but think that I didn't know what kind of character that Concubine Yun was, who could make the emperor fall in love with her, and even sent the Dark Blood Guard to protect her, but she didn't know the reason for the big wind.
- If she really thinks about the concubine, she shouldn't be pushed to the forefront, and even the queen mother can't look past it, so she takes the opportunity to order a groundbreak, and everyone is calculating!
"After that, Lingxin was born, and after a few years, she was sent out of the palace, and Concubine Yun couldn't bear the blow, so she was really crazy! The emperor regretted it and sent the concubine to this Yunbo Hall again to be settled. It's just that I also understand in my heart that the open gun is easy to dodge and the secret arrow is difficult to prevent, and I know that those people are jealous of the concubine, so I ordered the dark blood guard to open the tunnel again, and secretly guard it every day, and all those who appear or set foot in the Yunbo Hall will be executed, which can be regarded as a deterrent and revenge for those who never stopped until the death of the concubine. Xuanyuan's narration remained calm, as if he was telling a story, or in his opinion, it was originally a story, but it was forced on his head.
Although Xuanyuan Yu's description was simple, Xue'er understood it, and this was probably the reason why the strange guards outside, although they knew that she and Xuanyuan Yu were inside, they didn't dare to come in!
However, what she didn't understand was that the emperor knew that someone in this harem had assassinated Concubine Yun, and would rather retaliate in this way than find out those people and put them to death in the open?
This question, after that, she once asked Xuanyuan Yu, but what she got was a sigh from Xuanyuan Yu: "In front of the harem, the whole body is moved, and there are some questions, even if you understand it in your heart, you can pretend to know nothing on your face." Otherwise, what does the Emperor want the Darkblood Guard to do? β
Then Xue'er was silent, she was just an orphan girl, where would she understand the treacherous situation in the palace, and naturally there was no way to know the emperor's true thoughts.
But I didn't want Xuanyuan Yu to add another sentence: "If it were me, I would rather not be the emperor, but also protect my beloved woman, instead of making her lonely and panicked all her life!" β
This sentence made Xue'er hang her head, but she could still feel Xuanyuan's gaze burning, as if it was about to burn her to ashes.
And presumably over the years, there have been many people who have been assassinated by the Dark Blood Guard because of stepping into this real Yunbo Palace, and then after various renderings and circularies, plus the concubine who lives here has been mentally abnormal twice, and it is rumored to be a ghost palace, so it is really no surprise that everyone is afraid.
After all, the Dark Blood Guard is not a stranger to Xue'er, and it is even more like a subordinate to Xuanyuan. But the other palace people don't know, plus the people who have died, the terrifying legend. They didn't dare to leave a footprint in the dust in front of the palace, for fear that the unjust souls of the concubines in this palace would find them along the footprints, so that they would not die well.
This also explains why the outside of the palace, there are countless weeds and dust, but the inside of the main hall is so clean as if it has always been inhabited.
And because the emperor would come from time to time, the people of the Dark Blood Guard naturally followed another secret passage and came to clean it every day, and at the same time, on the orders of the emperor, assassinated all the people who appeared near the Yunbo Palace.
"After Mr. Shadow returned with me, the Emperor once again handed over control of the Darkblood Guard to him, which actually meant that I could protect myself. I've heard about this place from Mr. Shadow. β
- Yingli told Xuanyuan Yu about this, or everything about Concubine Yun, naturally hoping that Xuanyuan Yu could bear the title of "Three Princes" with peace of mind, and cross the British King in the future and inherit the throne.
"So, you've only heard about it, but you haven't come in?" Xue'er asked again, but instead of getting an answer from the man next to her, she felt her shoulders sinking.
She was shocked, and when she turned her head to look, she found that Xuanyuan's head had fallen heavily on her shoulder, and her whole body was slowly slipping towards her!
"Regulus!" Xue'er was frightened by him, and at the same time she was a little annoyed in her heart, she was curious for a while, and even forgot about his injury, although she had used a silver needle to drain his blood before, but then she hurried away, and when she arrived at this real Yunbo Palace, she was all kinds of curiosity, Xuanyuan Yu said, and she listened, and she didn't know how to stop him!
Thinking of this, Xuanyuan couldn't help but feel a little guilty, and when she was about to pull out the silver needle from her head again, she heard a "creak" sound from the door of the main hall behind her, which scared her hand and quickly turned her head to look.
