Chapter 68: The Concubine in the Well
A strange force dragged her into the Hanxi Palace, through the dilapidated courtyard, and down the corridor to the second courtyard, and the force pushed her, and she fell to the ground one by one. She leaned on one side of the stone and looked around in a panic, only to find that she was holding on to a well.
She was so frightened that she withdrew her hand, but saw a female ghost slowly coming out of the well, her hair was scattered, and her whole body was swollen with bubbles, usually people drowned in the water, and her whole body would rot and swell, and she was extremely disgusting. Luo Qingyun's legs were weak, and she crawled a few steps behind her, but accidentally ran into a cold thing, she held her breath and slowly raised her eyes, and there was an equally hideous female ghost standing behind her, looking at her. The female ghost was dressed in maid's clothes, and her face was beaten to the fullest, and she didn't know where to go with a single eyeball.
"Ahh There were so many things that she couldn't faint in, and at the moment she didn't know how much she wanted to close her eyes, but instead of fainting, she was scared more sober. Ignoring the injuries underneath her, she staggered to her feet, and was about to run but still retreated.
Until she retreated into the well, she suddenly froze under her feet. There was a sticky smell behind her, accompanied by the smell of decay that filled her side, and the female ghost slowly floated in front of her, staring at her side face.
Luo Qingyun closed her eyes, at this moment she had been silently reciting Song Zixun's name in her heart, but for a while, she waited for the voice of the female ghost: "Who are you, why is there light on your body?" ”
Luo Qingyun's shoulders trembled, and he subconsciously moved away, and replied: "My name is Luo Qingyun, and I just entered the palace not long ago!" ”
"Why do you see us?" With that, she took a step back and walked around to her.
The feeling of oppression in front of him disappeared obviously, Luo Qingyun hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief, slowly opened his eyes, and was startled again. In addition to Fang Cai's two female ghosts, three more ghost maids appeared, and they changed back to human appearance, which was much better than Fang Cai's dead appearance.
She pursed her breath and asked, "Why did you bring me here?" ”
The corner of the female ghost's mouth hooked: "We don't like people to disturb here, we always scare them away!" But no one dared to come for years, how did you get here today? ”
Luo Qingyun's acceptance of ghosts is obviously much higher, and she naturally replied: "I'm looking for someone...... Oh no, it's a ghost! ”
"Looking for ghosts?" She laughed and asked, "Are you friends with ghosts too?" ”
Luo Qingyun nodded and asked, "Have you ever seen a male ghost, he is probably so tall, wearing a silver robe, and he looks very handsome.......
Before the words fell, the female ghost suddenly smiled: "Song Zixun! The female ghost replied without thinking.
Luo Qingyun choked on the next sentence in his throat, and paused awkwardly: "It turns out that you all know each other!" ”
"Where will there be a man in this palace except for the emperor, we have seen a lot of eunuch ghosts, the first time we have seen a male ghost, besides, the queen of the previous dynasty likes him so much, who doesn't know him." The female ghost stroked her hair with her hand and pinned a strand of green silk behind her ear.
This female ghost turned back into a human appearance is so beautiful, although she does not wear any makeup, and there is no blood between her lips, but even so, she is still incredibly beautiful.
Luo Qingyun was a little obsessed with a woman, she noticed the rudeness, and came back to her senses and asked, "Then have you seen him today!" ”
The female ghost pointed to Ziyun Mountain not far away and said, "I didn't see it, but you can go to Ziyun Mountain to have a look." She smiled suddenly: "The former queen hanged herself there, she likes to sit on the mountain on weekdays, you can ask her!" ”
Luo Qingyun looked at her fingertips, Ziyun Mountain was not high, and she could vaguely see a pavilion built on the top of the mountain. She hurriedly thanked her, paused again, and asked, "Have you been here for many years?" ”
The female ghost smiled: "I was drowned at the age of seventeen, and I have lived here for a hundred years, I don't know how many dynasties and generations have changed, but no one has dared to live here!" ”
She said lightly, and Luo Qingyun was startled: "You are drowned here?" She turned her eyes to the well.
"yes!" She smiled: "Because I'm too favored, the Queen Mother doesn't like me!" ”
Luo Qingyun stood silently in place and looked at her, only to see her get up and float lightly to the mouth of the well, her eyes suddenly dim. She pointed to the ghost maid beside her and sighed helplessly: "It's just a pity that the four of them are gone, because I was beaten to death and strangled to death." ”
"Why did the Queen Mother do this in the first place?"
"Why?" Her eyes were a little cold: "I was the emperor's concubine at that time, and the queen mother wanted to make her niece the queen, but the emperor wanted to make me." In the winter of that year, the emperor suddenly fell seriously ill, saying that it would be contagious and no one was allowed to visit. Who knew that the queen mother sent the emperor to the palace to recuperate in the early morning of the next day, and I was arranged to come to this remote Hanxi Hall overnight, I knew that this was done by the queen mother. The emperor was seriously ill, and I didn't feel at ease living here, so I ordered them to buy off the guards and wanted to find out about the emperor's situation, but the news didn't wait, but they waited for the people from the Zhaoren Palace. Those dog eunuchs beat the four of them to death in front of me, and said that the emperor would order me to be executed, of course I didn't comply, so the dog eunuch pressed me in front of the well, and the two of them pushed me down! She smiled coldly: "After my death, the emperor recovered, and when I returned to the palace, the queen mother concealed the truth, maybe the emperor also knew that this matter was related to the queen mother, but at that time the emperor was still young, and the queen mother took power, he was very sad that day, so he lay here and cried for a long time!" She pointed to the well, her eyes slightly red: "After that, I will be posthumously named a noble concubine and buried in the imperial mausoleum!" ”
Luo Qingyun's eyebrows furrowed, and a poignant smile appeared on the female ghost's lips: "But the emperor's illness was planned by the Queen Mother, she just wanted to kill me, and she took the initiative to mention the matter of posthumous sealing for me afterwards." I'm dead, what's the use of being posthumously crowned queen? It's a pity that her niece Queen Yalan is cowardly and ugly, what if she becomes a queen, the emperor still doesn't favor her, and no one in the harem obeys her when the queen mother dies, and in the end she is depressed, and she is not much better when she dies! ”
Luo Qingyun was stunned, and seeing her like this, the female ghost smiled: "What? Did I scare you? ”
She paused and shook her head: "No, these days, I have met a lot of ghosts, but none of them have harmed me, but those people, they are more terrible than ghosts!" ”
The female ghost looked at the well that had dried up, looked at her again, and smiled: "The human heart is the most terrible, this is the harem, you must know to protect yourself, if you are favored, you must be careful!" ”
Luo Qingyun smiled back and asked hesitantly, "After all these years of staying here, are you still unable to let go of anything?" ”
The corners of her mouth hooked up a faint smile: "I'm fine here!" She looked into the distance with a smile tinged with sadness.
Luo Qingyun paused, then smiled and nodded, pursed his lips and said, "Thank you for telling me this!" ”
Leaving Hanxi Palace, Luo Qingyun's heart was heavy, and the weight of the four words harem danger was much heavier in her heart. After walking a few steps, she looked at the palace wall with a stone under her heart. For thousands of years, there have been many unknown souls who have died tragically, but those seemingly weak women have played tricks and tricks very well, and used royal power to balance here everywhere, maybe she is about to experience this, but she doesn't want to compete for favor, she just wants to live peacefully.
"Hey, evil spirit!" Song Zixun's voice came from his side, and his tone was extremely unpolite: "What are you doing to wander around?!" ”
Luo Qingyun turned her eyes to see that Song Zixun was sitting on the palace wall, glancing at her with disdain.
"It's me! Song Zixun, I'm back! Luo Qingyun pointed to his excited hands and danced.
Song Zixun appeared in front of her in the next moment, and looked at Xu Xuan in disbelief: "Little... Little lady! ”
"Hmm!" Luo Qingyun nodded: "I've been looking for you just now, and we can go back to Xiahui Hall from today!" ”
Song Zixun was stunned for a few seconds, and stammered: "Then ....... evil spirits have been removed?" ”
"Yes!" Luo Qingyun smiled: "I don't have to go to the Qianqing Palace anymore!" ”
"Great!" Song Zixun happily flew around her a few times. Suddenly, his expression froze, and his face drooped: "If I had known, I would have saved him earlier, you guys changed back so quickly, and the injuries were not good!" ”
Luo Qingyun lowered his eyes and looked behind him, and said with a smile: "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt!" ”
