Sun Qingyang stood downstairs and watched for a while, and said to Liu Wei: "The palace wants to go upstairs to have a look, is it convenient at this time?" ”

Liu Wei thought that he was full of martial arts, and he brought so many people, even if there was really any Lin Meiren's soul, he didn't care, so he agreed, "It should be okay, after the concubines received the news, they let them guard this building, and no one was allowed to enter or leave, I haven't touched anything at this time, the imperial concubine went to take a look, maybe she could see something." ”

Yan Zhi first pointed to the four bolder palace maids in front of the lantern, and everyone walked upstairs together.

The two floors of Zhongxiu Pavilion, the lower floor is the daily living place with the ear room, the hall house, the embroidery room, etc., and the upper floor is five large and small rooms with internal and external phases, which are divided into warm pavilions, study rooms, clean rooms and bedrooms, Caiying and another palace maid on night duty, sleep in the outermost room, Dou Jieyu sleeps in the innermost one, and Caiying They sleep in the room, separated by the warm pavilion and the study.

The west side of the warm pavilion is connected to the clean room.

"It's so far away, if Dou Jieyu calls you at night, how can you hear it?"

Caiying hurriedly replied: "Back to the imperial concubine, Jieyu's bedside has a string of copper bells, and she pulls the bells when she calls people at night." When they are on duty at night, the slaves and maids are the most vigilant when they sleep, and they can always hear it. ”

Walking into Dou Jieyu's bedroom, the door is half open, and there are two lotus-shaped lamps lit inside, the lotus petals are carved with arc-shaped copper plates, which are very exquisite, and the closing of the petals can adjust the direction of the light.

Liu Wei looked over and asked, "Why is Dou Jieyu not lighting candles here, but using lamp oil?" Didn't the Internal Affairs Bureau provide for it? ”

The lamps used by the masters in the palace are full of candles, and only the residences of the palace people use lamp oil.

"Jieyu Niangniang hates the smell of candles, so she uses lamp oil at night."

Sun Qingyang sniffed it and said with a smile: "Her lamp oil is much better than candles." This is water oil, this oil is steamed in the rice retort with a clean tree, and then poured into the mortar with a stone pound, after a few steaming and pounding, the waxy layer on the outside of the tree all falls off, and then the sunspot inside is broken, and then the cold slippery small stone mill that is heated by charcoal fire is broken, and then the black shell is blown off by the wind, and the innermost white kernel is crushed, and the oil is steamed and squeezed out, which is very clear. This oil is put into the lamp, and it can be lit until dawn with a rush grass, and other clear oils are not comparable. Even the masters in the palace, not everyone can use such lamp oil, let alone light it every night. ”

At the end of the words, there was already some coldness in her words, "Where did Dou Jieyu's lamp oil come from?" ”

If it weren't for the fact that she saw Zhu Zhanji using this lamp oil in the Qianqing Palace, she asked curiously for a while, and she would have thought that this lamp oil was the same as the ordinary one, and she couldn't imagine that this kind of water and oil with a fragrance would be so expensive.

Hearing Sun Qingyang's question, Caiying and the other palace people who were waiting for Dou Jieyu looked at each other, and in the end, Caiying replied stubbornly, "Slaves, slaves and maids don't know, this lamp oil is placed in the same place with the candles sent by the Internal Affairs Office, and the slaves and maids have always thought that it should be in the mother's share." ”

Sun Qingyang looked at their expressions, and knew that he couldn't ask anything more, so he only told Liu Wei: "Tomorrow I have to find out how this lamp oil came here from the Internal Affairs Office." ”

Liu Wei nodded, she would also see that this Dou Jieyu was by no means as honest as she looked on weekdays, and she could use such lamp oil to light it night and night, even if she was the queen's mother, it was not such a luxury.

Except for the slightly messy quilt on the bed, the other items in Dou Jieyu's room are neatly placed.

Liu Wei and Sun Qingyang walked to the corridor connected to the outside of the bedroom, this corridor and the bedroom are separated by a carved door embedded in glass, if Dou Jieyu gets up at night to watch the moonlight in the corridor, she can push the door directly, and there is no need to alarm Caiying and others outside.

On the south side of the second-story house of Zhongxiu Pavilion, there are wooden ladder corridors, and the wooden ladders are surrounded by carved railings.

Lay his hand on the carved railing of the cloister, looked up at the moon in the sky, Liu Wei smiled, "The concubine lives in this Wan'an Palace, but I don't know that the moonlight in this Zhongxiu Pavilion is so eye-catching, you see the courtyard is verdant and undulating, the silk embroidery is wrong, and the moon on the top is like practice, quite a 'toast to invite the bright moon, the shadow into three people', no wonder in the summer, Dou Jieyu will want to go back here to live." ”

After speaking, he didn't hear a response, and when he looked up, Sun Qingyang was leaning against the carved railing, probably thinking about how Dou Jieyu fell from this at that time, and half of his body leaned out of the railing.

Liu Wei grabbed her, "You don't want to die?" It's just a dead Jieyu in this palace, and it's not a big deal, you have to check it yourself, do you want to catch your head? Let's make a comparison. ”

Because of the urgency, Liu Wei didn't even say the honorific title.

Sun Qingyang smiled, "It's okay, the palace is measured, let's go in." ”

"W-" There was a slight whisper.

Sun Qingyang didn't hear it, and stepped forward to enter the room.

Liu Wei, who had practiced martial arts, heard the sound clearly, grabbed her, "Don't move-" picked up a gold bead from her feet.

They didn't find this gold bead when they went to the porch to check it before, thinking that it was stuck on the carved railing before, Liu Wei pulled Sun Qingyang over, didn't know where it touched, and rolled down.

When I entered the house, I took a closer look under the lamp, but found that the gold beads the size of beans were actually hollowed out, and the shape of peony entwined branches was made with tired gold wire, and the handiwork was very fine.

Caiying saw it on the side and exclaimed: "This is Lin Meiren's thing, is it really her coming back to ask for her life?" ”

"You're not the person in front of Lin Meiren, how can you recognize that this is Lin Meiren's thing?"

After listening to Liu Wei's question, Caiying fought and said, "The night Lin Meiren went, the slave maid and Jieyu Niangniang went to Chengxi Palace. Jieyu Niangniang said that after all, she entered the palace with Lin Meiren, and she had some affection, and she wanted to send her on her last journey. And the slave and maid saw this golden bead that day. There are a total of nine gold beads, which are clustered into a peony flower style of the golden basket, which is worn on the head of Lin Meiren, and the bead flowers on the golden beads reflect Lin Meiren as if she was asleep at that time, which is not terrible at all. At that time, Jieyu Niangniang also said that Lin Meiren still dared to wear this golden stick...... The slave didn't understand the reason, and asked Jieyu Niangniang, saying that the golden flute was so exquisite, I thought it was Lin Mei's favorite in her life, how could she listen to Niangniang's meaning, as if she shouldn't wear it? So the slave and the maid recognized. However, Jieyu Niangniang did not answer the slave maid at that time. ”

"But since the golden flute was worn on Lin Meiren's head that day, it must have been buried with Lin Meiren, how could it appear here?" Caiying looked around in horror as she spoke, as if there was a powerful ghost hiding on the side, ready to come out and devour people at any time.

Some of the timid palace people were not possessed by their souls, and as soon as they heard Caiying say, some of them cried directly.

Shuangxi even cried and said: "A few days ago, the slave maid saw a sister in red combing her hair in the garden, and the slave maid asked her, she didn't speak, and she disappeared after a while, is it Lin Meirenβ€”β€”"

Hearing Shuangxi say this, even those palace people who didn't cry were also trembling on the side.

Although Yue Jing's face turned pale, she still forced herself to say: "Nonsense, the ladies are all here, what nonsense are you talking about!" ”

Yan Zhi was also there to train the palace people who came with Sun Qingyang.

Although it was forbidden to say these things in the palace, the fear in their hearts was uncontrollable, seeing that it was a mess, Yan Zhi hurriedly drank the order to take out the few crying people of Shuangxi.

Sun Qingyang turned a deaf ear to all this, just stared at the corridor through the carved wooden door, imagining the scene at that time - Dou Jieyu was about to fall asleep, saw the moonlight outside, opened the door on a whim to admire the moon in front of the corridor, heard movement, turned around, and found Lin Meiren standing behind her in red, and retreated in fright, but forgot that she was upstairs, only screamed halfway, and fell down from the stairs, crashing into the stairs and died......

After banging people downstairs, Liu Wei stood beside Sun Qingyang and muttered, "This gold bead came out strangely, is it possible, and you have to open the coffin to verify the truth?" ”

Sun Qingyang smiled faintly, "If this is really a dead soul, we only need to find out what happened to Lin Meiren and Dou Jieyu, after all, according to what Caiying said just now, Dou Jieyu stepped on Lin Meiren's upper position, and in our palace, there is a similar situation to Dou Jieyu, and there is such a personβ€”β€”"

Liu Wei's eyes lit up, "What did the imperial concubine say about Hua Jieyu?" ”

"Yes, if the soul asks for her life, Lin Meiren should hate Hua Jieyu more, and then talk about it in detail, the most hated thing should be this palace, didn't her song say 'Seeing blood in the cup and sealing the throat, how can it be more vicious than people's hearts?' I'm afraid that in the eyes of others, this palace is the first class of vicious people, and the harmful Lin Meiren slipped and was hated by the emperor, if she came back to ask for her life, even if she was not the first to attack the palace, she would always find this palace here. ”

Liu Weimo shook his hands, "Then let's give her a rabbit to wait for and catch turtles in the urn." ”

Sun Qingyang laughed, "I didn't expect that you are also a person who doesn't believe in ghosts and gods." ”

"Believe, how can you not believe." Liu Wei smiled like a little fox, "However, the concubine believes more, no matter how powerful the evil ghost is, she can't fight people, otherwise, she shouldn't be the ghost." ”

Sun Qingyang nodded, "That's right, my mother once said that most of the ghosts and gods in this world are pretended to be for convenience, even if there are really ghosts and gods, and they are upright, they don't have to be afraid of gods who raise their heads three feet." borrowed Lin Meiren's soul to make trouble, if the palace did harm her that day, she would really be frightened, but unfortunately, the palace did not do anything wrong, and she was not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. As soon as it's like this, Hongu really wants to see what the ghost looks like. ”
