Chapter Eighty-Five: The Devil Messenger Who Asks for His Life
The dark and dreary night seemed to be smeared heavily on the sky, and there was not even a glimmer of stars. Can you hear the rustle of leaves outside, Kommer shivered and hid in the bed, not even daring to stick his head out.
Suddenly, a dark shadow skimmed the window, and the room was filled with an atmosphere of panic.
"Mama Kou......" There was a soft call from outside the door.
Her scalp tingled suddenly, and a chill poured down from the soles of her feet, making her shiver. The night was so thick that she couldn't dissolve, and she was bubbling up in the cold, unconsciously curling up her body.
There was a gust of wind around her, as if there were a pair of eyes staring at her in the dark. She closed her eyes and calmly warned herself that it was just an auditory hallucination, and that she must not scare herself.
"Mama Kou!"
In my ears, a milky call is so real. The child's voice was so close to her that she screamed in fright, got up, and ducked to the corner of the bed under the covers.
"You... Don't pretend to be a ghost! She didn't dare to open her eyes, and her shoulders trembled uncontrollably.
"Mama Kou, Yu Yu is a ghost!"
The familiar voice made her head explode, and she squinted in disbelief, only to see the little prince floating in the air and smiling at her.
"This ...... This ...... No way! It must be a dream! She pulled her hair to herself and tore desperately: "Wake up quickly, wake up!" She was hysterical and crying, shaking her head desperately like a madman.
Song Zixun and the Ghost Queen appeared in front of her one after another, Song Zixun straightened his throat and deliberately made his tone thick: "Kou, you murdered the life of the little prince, today is your death!" ”
Mama Kou's eyes widened in horror, and the moment she saw Song Zixun, she suddenly felt that her head was blank, and she was unconscious in an instant.
"Fainted?" The ghost queen stepped forward to probe her snort, and turned her eyes to Song Zixun speechlessly: "You scared her out!" ”
"So unintimidating!!" Song Zixun's face was distorted and he frowned: "How can you ask when she faints, you can find a way to wake her up"
The ghost queen rolled her eyes, took half a scoop of water from the courtyard, and unceremoniously splashed it on her face.
Mama Kou choked on water, coughed and clutched her chest, and slowly opened her eyes. She suddenly regained consciousness and sat up from the bed, her mouth open and her throat feeling dry, unable to say a word.
Song Zixun restrained a little, and his tone softened a little: "Kou clan, I am a ghost envoy of the underworld." ”
"Ghost grandpa, please open the net and spare the slave!" Mama Kou didn't dare to get off the ground, so she hurriedly knelt on the bed and cried and begged for mercy.
"Then let me ask you, what happened to the death of the little prince!"
Mama Kou's eyes tightened, and she whispered in order to save her life: "Please ghost grandpa be clear, the slave maid is also instructed by others!" ”
"Who instructed you?" Song Zixun's eyes lit up, and the ghost queen floated to the edge of the bed and sat leisurely.
Mama Kou was so frightened that she retreated behind her, glanced at the ghost queen in fear, turned her eyes to look at the little prince's immature face, and tears suddenly welled up: "The slave should die, the slave dare not murder the little prince!" It was the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother ordered to kill the little prince! ”
"The Queen Mother's !!" Song Zixun's eyes widened, repeating in disbelief.
"Exactly, if it weren't for that, how dare the slave and maid murder the name of the little prince, if not, this is a big rebellion, even if the slave and maid are given thousands of dares, the slave and maid will not dare!"
The Ghost Queen's eyebrows skimmed a trace of consternation, and she spoke: "Why did the Queen Mother murder her grandson? ”
"It's for Concubine Ying!" Mama Kou continued: "Concubine Ying's concubine of the Gu family, the Queen Mother is dedicated to supporting her as the queen, and Concubine Ya is married to the emperor with her, but after Concubine Ya has a little prince, her identity is not very different from before, and the Queen Mother is worried that Concubine Ying will shake Concubine Ying's status, so she instigated the slave to poison the little prince!" She looked at the little prince with tears in her eyes, and cried with self-blame: "The slave knows that she is wrong, and she regrets it afterwards, and she feels guilty when she thinks of it!" But at that time, the slave maid had no choice, the queen mother said that she would arrange for me to leave the palace afterwards, and staying in this sin slave house was nothing more than to hide people's eyes, and after a long time, no one in the harem remembered me as a sinner, and I could leave when I was old next year. ”
"But how can the Queen Mother murder her own grandson for the sake of Concubine Ying!"
Although the little prince is young, he seems to understand. He stood silently, buried his head very low, and his long eyelashes hung low to make people feel sorry. Song Zixun picked him up and patted him on the shoulder soothingly.
The ghost queen looked serious and sighed: "What kind of grandson, the emperor is her successor." The Empress Dowager Gu is nothing more than to consolidate the position of the Gu family, she only values power. In these years, the emperor has ascended the throne, and he is very capable and has grasped some of the real power in the court, but Gu Qinghong controls the forces in the army, and the emperor is still afraid of the queen mother. She paused suddenly, thought for a moment, and said: "Judging from the current style of the little emperor, it is very likely that he will slowly regain Gu Qinghong's military power, but it is only a matter of time." ”
Song Zixun twitched the corners of his mouth in shock.
The ghost queen turned her eyes to Mama Kou and asked, "How did you kill the little prince in the first place, come from 1510." ”
Mama Kou wiped a handful of tears and choked up: "Grandma Hui, ...... ghost"
"Grandma's legs, call Niangniang!" The ghost queen scolded angrily, and her eyes were like freezing.
"Nuo ......" Kou Mama was startled, and hurriedly changed her words: "Back to the ghost Niangniang's words, the slave maid took the little prince away at that time, but I really didn't know how to start, hesitated, the little prince shouted to go to the Lanyue Pavilion behind the Nianxi Palace where Ya Concubine Niangniang lived at the time, there was no one around, and the slave maid ...... the little prince "She paused, and looked at the little prince with palpitations, Song Zixun raised his hand to cover his ears, and then continued: "Push the little prince down, it will be during dinner, no one will see it, and besides, the slave and maid walked from the palace to the Lanyue Pavilion only a hundred meters, Afterwards, the slave and maid hid the little prince under the bed of the concubine! Three whole days! ”
"What?" The ghost queen, who boasted of having seen the wind and waves, couldn't help but be shocked: "You put the little prince under the bed of the concubine?" ”
"The slave should die, but this was also arranged by the Queen Mother, when the little prince disappeared, the emperor ordered a search, and the palace of the concubine Niangniang would naturally be investigated, but no one would have thought that the body of the little prince was under the mother's bed. When the limelight passed, the Queen Mother instructed the slave maid to bury the little prince under the bluestone slab in the imperial garden at the appointed hour. She was true, in front of the ghosts, she knew everything and explained all this, nothing more than wanting to put the blame on the Queen Mother.
The ghost queen hooked her lips coldly, watching her slowly approach. Mama Kou hurriedly begged for mercy: "Ghost girl, the slave has already told you everything she knows!" ”
"Well, Hongu knows!" She had a smile on her face, but it was cold. She suddenly stretched out her hand and placed it on her Heavenly Spirit Cover. Mama Kou suddenly felt that her breath was stagnant, and she struggled desperately, but she could only make a sound of ahhhh After a while, the force suddenly disappeared, and she collapsed on the bed, gasping for breath, but found that she could no longer speak. The ghost queen curled her lips and smiled: "Kou clan, this palace has taken away a part of your three souls and seven spirits, and as for your voice, this palace has sealed it first!" These days, you are not allowed to mention tonight's events to anyone, or the palace will ask for your life at any time. When I need you, I will come back to you! She threatened: "Don't play tricks, this palace is a ghost, and it is easy to kill you!" ”
With tears in the corners of her eyes, Kou Mama nodded hurriedly.
