Two months later, the Xianyue Pavilion in the palace went out of the water, and Princess Xie and a few maids and daughters-in-law had no time to escape and were burned to death inside. Concubine Zhou was in the right position and got the key to the house again.

"Niangniang, Niangniang, something is wrong!" Xu Siniang looked flustered, closed the door and said, "The slave maid went to take a look yesterday, and the woman is still alive!" ”

Concubine Zhou's eyes widened, and she said incredulously: "How is it possible, you should starve to death if you are hungry!" Could it be that someone brought her food? ”

Xu Siniang shook her head: "The slave maid heard a report that she was very good at water, and she floated on the water with her daughter's swaddling clothes for a few days...... The watchman quietly stretched out his head to look, only to see that the swaddling clothes in her hand were gone, leaving her floating on the water, holding a live fish in one hand and a shrimp in the other, and she picked it up and put it in her mouth......"

"Eat raw fish and shrimp?!" Concubine Zhou covered her mouth and exclaimed, and asked irritably, "How is this good?" She doesn't die for a day, and I can't sleep for a day! I know she's going to come to me for revenge! ”

Xu Siniang proposed: "We have the crane top red and the broken intestine grass in our hands, it's better to ...... tonight"

"Absolutely not!" Concubine Zhou took the case, "Let people find out that she was poisoned, then the first one will suspect me!" ”

Xu Siniang lowered her head and was silent, Concubine Zhou stopped talking, leaned on the beauty couch and closed her eyes to recuperate, playing with a pair of pigeon bloodstones in her hands. After a while, she sat up, hooked her lips and said, "Go and get the jar under the osmanthus tree out tonight...... Concubine Ben went to meet her in person! ”

There is a deep well in the back garden of the palace, and the water of the well is sweet, and it is said to lead directly to the moat. In the early years, a girl threw herself into the well and died, and the well was sealed, but occasionally it was used to imprison the people who made mistakes, and the people in the house called it "water prison". At this moment, there is a thin white shadow covered by long hair on the wall of the water prison, which makes people shudder in the whistling night wind.

"Sister...... It's been a long time, don't come unharmed. Concubine Zhou, who was wearing a red cloak, suddenly appeared above the water dungeon, and beckoned to the white shadow below with a smile.

The white shadow was motionless, not like a living creature, but like a ghost. Concubine Zhou didn't care, squatted down and continued: "Oops, my sister almost forgot, my sister can't speak anymore, tsk, it's so pitiful...... The ears should still work, so let my sister say it, and my sister just listen. A few days ago, Yangzhou Luofu sent a letter saying that Lord Lingtang heard about his sister's misfortune, and his condition became more and more serious, alas, he died in a few days......"

The white shadow at the bottom of the well flickered slightly. Concubine Zhou smiled: "I wanted to hide it from my sister, but after thinking about it again, you mother and daughter always have to cry to mourn." ”

The white shadow at the bottom of the well trembled slightly. Concubine Zhou wiped the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief and sighed: "Sister, don't blame your sister for being ruthless, as a woman, you should understand what your husband's love means to a woman." I've been with the prince for twenty years, and I've never seen him care about that woman as much as he does for you. I watched and saw that the prince liked you more and more, and I became more and more afraid in my heart......"

"Mother, give." Xu Siniang next to her handed over a small magnetic altar.

Concubine Zhou took the jar, and while using her nails to remove the sealing mud, she talked eloquently: "So I carefully set up this bureau for you, in order to get rid of you and your daughter at the same time, I really spent a lot of effort...... Actually, I was too anxious last time, there were still many loopholes in the plan, and the prince was such a shrewd person, I originally thought it would take a lot of twists and turns to succeed. But what I didn't expect was that the prince didn't investigate deeply, and directly convicted you. It can be seen that the prince doesn't want to keep you anymore, sister, I'm just pushing the boat down the river. ”

Concubine Zhou picked off the mud of the jar, wiped her hands with a silk handkerchief, and said in a low voice: "The country has changed hands for two generations, and the prince can still hold the throne, I know that you are planning for him behind your back." But as a woman, you are so smart that you make him feel uneasy, for fear that one day you will reveal his secrets. Although he really likes you, don't forget, he is the son of the great grandfather, and you always have an impression of what the great grandfather did after he ascended the throne......

The white shadow at the bottom of the well trembled, bringing ripples one after another. Concubine Zhou smiled and opened the lid of the magnetic altar, with her mouth facing down and the bottom facing the sky, and poured all the things in the altar into the water prison. Suddenly, the white shadow at the bottom of the well began to struggle violently, fluttering up and sinking from the surface of the water, sinking and fluttering, stirring up wave after wave.

"This kind of carefree Gu will hurt for half an hour at first, and then attack again after half an hour. And so on, the pain lasts longer, and on the third day, the person will die of pain. It is said that people who die like this have lost their souls and cannot even be reincarnated. Concubine Zhou turned around and waved her handkerchief to say goodbye, "Sister, enjoy it slowly." ”

※※※

The wind blows the trees, the heavy rain is coming, and the lights are moving.

"Zhenming, I'm afraid it's going to be a rainstorm, hurry up and call a few people to close the mountain gate." A woman dressed as a Taoist girl walked into the back hall.

The name of Zhenming was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old little Daogu, who pouted when she heard the words, and pulled the other two Xiaodaogu out of the door. The mountain gate is made of ebony, pig iron and tree lacquer, and it weighs hundreds of catties, so closing and locking the door is a chore in the minds of all little Daogu. Zhenming was annoyed: "It's already late autumn, why is it raining rain, it's really annoying, why don't you see her calling me when there is a good thing!" ”

"Your master has always been partial to Zhenjing, who doesn't know that Zhenjing is the most flattering and obedient." Xiao Daogu, who went out together, answered, "I heard that on the mourning hall in front, there is a table full of melons and fruit snacks, and the honeydew melons and fragrant mangs are each so big!" As he spoke, he gestured with his hand.

Another little Taoist aunt said with envy: "The big family is a dead man who swept out the door, and he gave him so many good things, but we who are alive can't eat a bite." ”

Zhenming's eyes rolled: "Why don't we go and help keep the spirit at night?" When the master and uncle asked, we said that she was really quiet and timid, so I went to accompany her! The two little Dao aunts next to them immediately clapped their hands in agreement.

Soon, dark clouds were in the air, and the wind was whining. After a shocking lightning bolt, torrential rain poured down. The side hall of the Taoist temple is arranged as a mourning hall, and a small coffin is parked in the hall. The old women sent by the family to send the spirit were all lazy, and only an eleven-year-old little Taoist aunt Zhenjing was guarding the spirit. Zhenjing followed the master's instructions, and after each incense stick was burned, she would recite the Sutra of Transcendence, and then burn a string of paper money.

I heard that the person lying inside is also a miserable person, and it is really a young lady. Child. A portrayal of the maid's life, I heard that when she was ten years old, she lived in the Zhumen compound where she was supposed to live, but who knew that she did not have a blessed life, and died in less than half a year. Zhenjing looked at the coffin in a daze while burning paper, feeling sorry for the girl who was one year younger than herself, such a good appearance could only be buried by the loess from now on, and she would not see the light of day.

Outside the mourning hall, the clouds rolled eastward, and the wind kept howling. The rain, as if turning into thousands of strings, played a hurried sound.

"Squeak-" A shrill voice suddenly sounded in the mourning hall, and Zhen Jing jumped, "W-someone, come out quickly!" ”

"Haha, hahaha!" There was a burst of laughter and whispers from the corner gate, "It's really useless, I don't know why your master fell in love with her to go to the vigil." "Come on, you're not much better than her." "But this place ...... It's a bit cautious. ”

Listening to those voices that were very familiar, Zhenjing breathed a sigh of relief and complained: "Zhenming, Zhenshu, Zhengong, don't be so scary, this is not a place to play, leave quickly." ”

The three people who came out of the corner door in a big way, obviously didn't take Zhenjing's words seriously.

Zhenming glanced at her: "Dead Nizi, it's not your turn to teach me a lesson." Zhenshu ran straight to the incense case, picked up a piece of hibiscus cake and put it in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Thanks to Zhenming's good idea, otherwise it would be cheap and Zhenjing alone." ”

Zhen Jing looked anxious in her eyes, and stopped: "Good senior sister, please be calm, the master is afraid of such a thing so that I let me keep the spirit alone." After 371, can the offerings be missing from you? ”

Zhenming, Zhenshu, and Zhengong sat in a circle around the incense case, and each picked up their favorite snacks and candies, and even ate them. Zhen Gong used a blanket to pack the melon, and at the same time threatened Zhen Jing sharply: "If you dare to say it, I will ensure that you will not be able to stay in the temple in the future!" ”

Zhenjing bit her lower lip, and her voice was a little crying: "Put it down, put it down, put it down, the dead are the greatest, how can you take the things in the mourning hall?" People value our water business concept to entrust us with the funeral, not only gave ten fruits and ten plates of sacrifices, but also added a large amount of sesame oil money to the view, you came here to shun things are not intended to make the master of the temple embarrassed? ”

Zhenming sneered: "As far as your mouth is concerned, I don't believe you haven't eaten a bite, and I haven't seen you at dinner, I'm afraid you're already full here." ”

"Wronged, Aunt Liu gave me two steamed buns at dinner, and I will keep watch while eating," Zhenjing's tears flashed in her eyes, and she shouted loudly, "Just call people over with a loud voice, look at the ugly things you have done, disturb Miss He's soul, beware of her coming to punish you!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a bolt of lightning split the sky in half, and a heart-rending thunderclap rang out.

"Dead hoof, what are you talking nonsense!" Zhen Gong threw away the blanket full of food and pushed Zhen Jing hard, "You still dare to call people?" Believe it or not, I'll kill you right now! Zhenjing was pushed to the ground, and suddenly, her eyes widened, as if she saw something scary, and her whole body froze.

Zhen Gong scolded: "You still dare to pretend!" Zhenming Zhenshu glanced at Zhenjing's gaze, and suddenly his legs were weak, and he sat on the ground with his buttocks. Zhen Gong was anxious: "What's wrong with you two?" And the two of them seemed to have been immobilized and ignored her, so Zhengong himself turned around to see what was going on.

"Ahh

The wives who had been lazy to go to sleep were immediately awakened, ran to the mourning hall, and after just one glance, they screamed again and again, and jumped to their feet and fell out. With a stick of incense, the Taixi Shitai, the Taishan Shitai, and the Taichen Shitai in the view were all attracted to inspect the situation.

Taishan Shi frowned and walked into the mourning hall, and saw from a distance that all the lights and candles in the room were extinguished, the plates and bowls on the incense table were messy, and the melons and fruits on the ground were rolled into a piece, and the three of Zhenming sat on the ground trembling, thinking that they had been caught stealing offerings, so they opened their mouths and scolded angrily: "You three have no useful things, and your hands are not clean, what trouble has happened!" Then, she casually glanced at the top of the mourning hall, and immediately froze.

In a plain silk and white flower, the person lying in the coffin is now ...... It's actually sitting. A gust of wind blew, and the white silk swaggered in the wind, bringing a burst of coolness, making the person in the coffin sneeze and making everyone retreat in horror.

From the time Zhenming and the others came in to steal snacks, He Angelica had already opened his eyes. She clearly heard Zhenjing's quarrel with the three of them, and she also heard Zhenjing say "Miss He" Yunyun. He Angelica listened to their conversation, and suddenly a spirit was excited, and he subconsciously glanced around, it seemed to be ...... Mourning Hall? What's going on? Aren't you already dead in a water prison?

He Angelica only felt weak, as if his bones were falling apart, and he struggled to sit up, trying to see everything here. A gust of wind blew, and she was so frozen that she couldn't help but sneeze.

When he saw the faces of several people on the other side, He Angelica stared at those people with a strange expression as if he had seen a ghost-

If she remembers correctly, the few people in front of her are the Taoist aunts of the "Water Business View" where she lived in her childhood. How so? He was obviously killed by Zhou Jinglan, and Zhou Jinglan's words were still in his ears, "...... It is said that people who die like this will lose their souls and even be reincarnated...... "But when you wake up from a long nightmare, why do you see the people you knew eighteen years ago?"

Eighteen years ago, when she was only ten years old, she lived in the "Water Business View" for half a year, suffered all kinds of bullying, and looked forward to her family coming to pick her up every day;

When she was fourteen years old, she married into Ning Wangfu with honor because she saved the old lady of Ning Wangfu;

At the age of sixteen, she was favored by King Ning, and at the age of twenty-eight, she gave birth to a daughter, who was subsequently killed along with her mother and daughter.

After eighteen years, I saw Zhenjing, Zhenming, Taishan, Taixi and others again, and they were still the same as when they first met as children, without the slightest change, how could this be? Wait, if she's not mistaken, Taesun should have died thirteen years ago!

He Angelica subconsciously glanced at his hand, his fingertips were glowing with moon-white luster, and he was incredibly thin and slender...... This is clearly a pair of children's hands! He Angelica's pupils were dilated with horror.

Zhenjing was the first to come back to her senses, knelt on the ground with a plop, kowtowed and chanted in her mouth: "Miss He, I know that it is really wrong for us to disturb your mourning hall, and I also know that you are only ten years old and you must be unwilling to travel in your heart, please have a large number of adults, forgive everyone's crimes, Zhenjing will definitely burn money for you every day and recite scriptures, I hope you will be merciful, return to the immortal class early, don't continue to stay in the world......" Zhenming listened, and also kowtowed his head with "dong dong", Zhenshu Zhengong also wanted to kowtow a few heads to send away the unjust soul, but his hands and feet no longer obeyed the call.

He Angelica looked at the incense case in front of the coffin, the aroma of halva, bergamot, mango and peach surged up to her nose one after another, and her heart suddenly brightened. It's not a dream, it's not a dream, it's not a dream, it's definitely not a dream......

She had a strong feeling that it was now the view of water business eighteen years ago, and she-

Still alive!
