Chapter 123: Haunted by Ghosts
Sinan Palace, antechamber.
"You're going to repeat what you just said?" Xuan Yuchen, who was sitting at the round table in the main hall, changed the smile in his eyes just now, and instantly seemed to be a different person, just a simple question, which made the maids serving in the front hall collectively silent and did not dare to look directly.
Yu Shulan, who had just entered the front hall from the gate of the mansion, came over in horror to convey the news that Nian Yingxi had left, but now when she saw Xuan Yuchen's hideous appearance, she didn't dare to twist the handkerchief in her hand.
For a while, there seemed to be only Xuan Yuchen's angry panting left in the silent hall, and the heavy panting that intensified slowly spread in the front hall, which was an invisible depression.
Xuan Yuchen, who had nowhere to vent, finally set his eyes on Yu Shulan's body, he got up and walked in front of her step by step to stop his footsteps, suddenly grabbed her wrist with his big hand, and smiled more and more fiercely at the corner of his lips, "This king is asking you, why don't you answer?" Is it mute? β
Yu Shulan was so frightened that she didn't even dare to raise her head, she lowered her eyes and bit her lip and struggled for a long time before she repeated in a frightened whisper, "Nian, the second miss said that the hour was not early, and besides, there was a carriage from Nian's family waiting outside the door, so she got on the carriage back to the house directly, and asked the concubine to tell the prince, and asked the prince to forgive me." β
Xuan Yuchen listened to the repetition of this to make him angry, his strong chest rose and fell violently, and he threw Yu Shulan aside with force in his hand, and shouted violently, "Get out!" Get out of here for this king! β
The maids on the side were so frightened that their legs and feet were weak, and they hurriedly walked out of the front hall one after another with a sigh of relief.
Mama Qi, who was absent-minded all morning, was also roared back to her senses by this roar, and hurriedly picked up Yu Shulan, who was thrown on the ground, and followed out of the front hall.
When Xuan Yuchen was the only one left in the front hall, he couldn't control it anymore and lifted the table to the ground, and the table full of delicacies was also scattered on the ground.
He thought that Nian Yingxi should be crying and shouting today to beg him to cherish her more, but he didn't expect that in the end, she would just say that she would leave.
Okay, it's good, this is really feng shui in turn, and he Xuan Yuchen has also been abandoned by women one day!
Suddenly remembering that Nian Yingxi entered the palace tomorrow, Xuan Yuchen suddenly changed his anger just now, laughed evilly, raised his arm and stretched out his hand to clapped his hands twice, and a secret guard who stayed nearby quickly rushed out of the woods, walked into the front hall with quick movements, and knelt in front of Xuan Yuchen.
"What does the prince command?"
Xuan Yuchen stared at the top of the dark guard's hair for a long time, and finally made up his mind to speak, "Tonight, when you are in the middle of the year, you will go to the palace last year and bring back the second miss of the Nian family to this king." β
"Yes."
"Remember." Xuan Yuchen thought for a while and said, "Don't let others find out." β
"Yes." The Dark Guard bowed his head.
Xuan Yuchen nodded with satisfaction, the hideous smile on his face gradually deepened, since she was his woman, she had to look at his face and act, he had to take a good look, without his permission, how did she enter this palace!
The year of the vice-capital.
"Good girl, hurry up." Nian Yingxi stretched out her hand to help the purple butterfly on the ground up, gently patted the dust on her skirt, and her smile was still the same, "There are not so many cumbersome rules around me, and you don't have to kneel down at every turn, let alone a slave, just go with the flow and be comfortable." β
Zi Die had never heard such an explanation between her master and her subordinates, and for a while she was stunned and didn't know how to answer.
Nian Yingxi saw her doubts and pulled Qianqian over beside her, "You will slowly learn this from Qianqian in the future, Qianqian is still doing a good job in going with the flow." β
'Poof', Zi Die laughed, looked at Qianqian, who was still stunned, smiled and looked at Nian Yingxi and nodded.
Qianqian hadn't reacted to what was going on just now, but now when she saw Zi Die smiling, she couldn't help but react slowly and turned her head and twisted her eyebrows at Nian Yingxi, "Miss, you know how to sarcastically mock me." β
"I'm not ridiculing you, I'm praising you." Nian Yingxi smiled and scratched Qianqian's nose, then pulled a person with one hand and walked towards her yard, "Let's go, follow me back to sleep, there are still very important things to do at night." β
Qianqian didn't know where to get her cleverness, so she asked, "What's the matter?" β
Nian Yingxi, who was walking in front, looked back and blinked slyly, "Naturally, I listen to stories." After that, he pulled the two of them and continued to walk on the way back to the courtyard, without saying a word more, leaving only the unknown reason why Zi Butterfly and Qianqian looked at each other.
Sinan Palace, Shulan Temple.
Yu Shulan, who had been restless all day, sat on the soft couch, looking at a daze without eating or drinking, letting Mama Qi beside her smear her hands with blood-activating and stasis cream, and rubbing it vigorously on her wrist that was pinched by Xuan Yuchen today, and did not feel any pain.
Her mind was full of Xuan Yuchen's hideous face towards her today, and her whole heart was full of grievances and uneasiness.
Although she knew that Xuan Yuchen had a bad temper, he would still save face for himself in a crowded place because of everyone, but today he put himself in such an embarrassing situation in front of his subordinates because of a woman, which made her heart full of imbalance, jealousy and grievances.
Mama Qi, who was standing beside her, finished applying the ointment, and carefully loosened the sleeves that Yu Shulan had rolled up, raised her eyes to look at Yu Shulan's stunned appearance, and couldn't help but sigh, "Even if the princess feels uncomfortable, she can't get along with her body!" β
Yu Shulan came back to her senses after listening to Mama Qi's words, raised her arm to look at her wrist that was still bruised, and snorted with a wry smile, "Mama Qi, how did you say I ended up in today's field?" β
Mama Qi sighed helplessly again, "Princess, why are you so obsessed with this? In the end, it's not yourself who is tired. β
The wry smile on Yu Shulan's face deepened, and she was about to say something, but was suddenly interrupted by a shout outside.
"Ghost ...... Ghost ......"
"Hell! There's a ghostββ! β
Listening to the noisy shouts outside, Mama Qi didn't equal Shulan's orders, so she turned around and walked out of the house first.
"What are you shouting about here at night? Don't you think the board hurts? β
The maids guarding the door in the courtyard had already exploded into a ball, and now when they saw Mama Qi walking out, they still had scruples about Mama Qi's cold eyes, and they all rushed up the steps to grab Mama Qi's arms.
"Mama Qi has a ghost!"
"Mama Qi really has a ghost, really, the slaves and maids just now saw it with their own eyes."
If it was usual, Mama Qi would not believe in any ghosts or gods, but now that she listened to the maids' commotion, and remembered that she had mistaken Qianqian for Bihe this morning, she couldn't help but start to hang in her heart again.
In the afternoon, she took advantage of Yu Shulan's rest to find the cashier who helped her send Bihe to the hired house in the countryside, but what disappointed her and made her even more uncertain was that the wife of the hired person could not find the hired person, that is, the person who was hired with the silver was missing.
"Ahh Mama Qi, ghost! Before Mama Qi finished recalling her own affairs, she was frightened by an exclamation beside her, and when she came back to her senses, she glared at the shouting maid, but saw the maid pointing to a corner of the yard, and tears of fright flowed out.
Mama Qi looked in the direction of the maid's finger, and in a trance, she seemed to see a shadow floating from the corner of the yard, although she didn't see the shadow clearly, but she recognized the clothes worn by the shadow, the green flower and blue skirt and lantern skirt, it was the dress on Bihe's body!
Yu Shulan in the room listened to the still noisy shouts outside, and walked out impatiently, she looked at a group of maids who seemed to be frightened birds around Mama Qi, and raised her voice, "Where did the ghost come from?" Beware of any more nonsense, I cut your tongues! β
After the frightened maids Yu Shulan came out, they were silent, even if they were scared, they didn't dare to make another mistake, after all, Yu Shulan was famous for her ruthlessness towards her subordinates.
But the maid didn't dare to squeak, it doesn't mean that Mama Qi didn't dare, until now, Mama Qi thought that it was Bihe who died on the road in vain after the ghost came back to make trouble, afraid that the matter would get bigger and bigger, she didn't dare to hide more, taking advantage of the quietness of this kung fu, she turned around and knelt in front of Yu Shulan, "Princess, the old slave is sorry for you!" β
Looking down at Mama Qi who was already stained with tears, although Yu Shulan couldn't figure out what was going on for the time being, in order not to cause any trouble, she first sent the maids in the yard down, and then took Mama Qi back to the house.
As soon as the door was closed, Mama Qi knelt on the ground again, and while she kept kowtowing, she told her the truth about Yu Shulan's sending Bihe back to her hometown.
Listening to Mama Qi's words, Yu Shulan couldn't help but relax the frowns that had just been tightened, she looked at Mama Qi and was silent for a long time before she said lightly, "Mama Qi, you have also been with me for the longest time, how can you bear to hide this from me?" But since this is the end of the matter, let it be left at that, and remember not to mention it again. β
She said that it was fake not to be angry, but now she really doesn't have the energy to take care of this trivial matter, when she dealt with Bihe, she just wanted to never see Bihe again in the future, but now although the process is not the same, but the result is the same, and she doesn't want to let a trustworthy person around her be gone, so even if she is angry, she can only do it.
Mama Qi didn't expect Yu Shulan to let herself go so easily, and hurriedly kowtowed, "The old slave knows that he is wrong, and the old slave promises that there will be no next time." β
Yu Shulan didn't care about Mama Qi's mistake, rubbed her temples that were beating suddenly, and waved her hand impatiently, "Okay, go down, I want to sleep." β
"But the princess ......" Mama Qi paused for a long time before she mustered up the courage to say carefully, "Bihe is a vain death, and now that she is back to make trouble, the princess should let the old slave accompany her." β
