During the Double Ninth Festival, there was a three-day play in the garden of Cining Palace, and the new team in Beijing sang and did well, and everyone was still unsatisfied, and the Queen Mother said that she would take her own body and put on a play in Ningshou Palace for two more days.
Yu'er laughed and had to let the people of the troupe take a break, so two days later, the concubines, clan relatives and daughters met again in Ningshou Palace, only Yu'er did not attend.
On the second day of the play, a palace maid accidentally spilled tea on Li's body, and because the masters were there, she didn't dare to do anything to the little palace maid, so she could only go back to her residence to change her clothes in disappointment.
This time and again, but there was no trace for most of the day, after the play was sung, the palace was quiet, and only Zhang promised to read: "Where did Li Changzai go?" Why haven't you come back yet? โ
Hesheri whispered: "I'm afraid I'm thinking that the emperor will come in a while, dress up beautifully." โ
Soon, the next play started, and no one could take care of her.
When Ling Zhao was worried about whether the evil could prevail in the play, Dong Yun leaned into her ear and said, "Master, Li Changzai was frightened and hid in the house and refused to go out. โ
"Who scared you?" Ling Zhao frowned.
"It is said that when I was passing by Zhongcui Palace, I met a ghost." Dongyun said as he spoke, and his heart was furious, "She said that behind the door of Zhongcui Palace, she saw Concubine Hui dressed in white. โ
"Is she crazy?" Ling Zhao scolded in a low voice, "Control her, don't let her talk nonsense to scare the Queen Mother." โ
Dong Yun said in embarrassment: "She went back all the way, and walked most of the inner palace, but I was afraid that I shouldn't know, what I should know, I heard everything." โ
Ling Zhao was furious, and he didn't know how to deal with this matter for a while, but when he heard the Queen Mother's voice, he asked with a smile, "What's wrong?" โ
"It's nothing, Queen Mother, Dongyun said that the imperial dining room came to inquire about the dishes for dinner." Ling Zhao was perfunctory, "You continue to watch the play, and the concubine will respond." โ
"Just tell them to do whatever they want, their rules are so trivial, what flowers can they exchange." The Queen Mother said, "You sit down and watch the play, you are busy all year round, I will send Gao Wa." โ
Dong Yun was clever and stepped forward: "Aunt Gaowa's favorite lively drama, the slave maid can deal with it." โ
She was blessed, and Ling Zhao looked at each other, and left.
But after that, Ling Zhao forgot what she sang on stage, and her eyes always unconsciously moved to the queen on the side.
The queen sat in her arms with the little princess, peeling the orange with the doll's hand, and after peeling the orange, the little princess jumped down, held a petal of pulp, and handed it to the queen mother to eat, which made the queen mother very happy.
The stage was lively, the audience was happy, everyone was happy, only Ling Zhao was restless.
A while ago, she sent a slave who pretended to be a ghost in the palace and created rumors, and she had already taken it back, what was the origin of this ghost that suddenly came out of Zhongcui Palace?
Is Li scaring himself, or is someone else behind his back? It's the Li family that scares, the number one person in the Forbidden City, or ...... It's true? Ghosts?
Sure enough, on this day, before the guests in Ningshou Palace dispersed, Rong Chang had already heard that Li Chang met a ghost when passing through Zhongcui Palace, and was so frightened that he lost his mind, and the imperial doctor rushed to prescribe medicine and needles, and fell asleep temporarily.
No one dared to show it in front of the Queen Mother, but when they returned to their residence from Ningshou Palace, they would inevitably pass through Zhongcui Palace, even if they walked around to the north, they were panicked.
The Hesheri clan almost trotted past the Zhongcui Palace, and the pregnant Dong promised not to run, and he didn't know why they ran, so he asked the grandmother next to him in a daze: "What's wrong with them?" โ
The grandmothers were afraid of disturbing Dong's fetus, so they didn't say anything, supported her, and hurried by.
Finally, Rong Changzai and Nalan were the only ones who walked generously to the main gate of Zhongcui Palace and stopped.
"Master, let's go." Ke Jixin's few little palace maids were so frightened that their legs were weak, and they hid behind them and trembled, "Master, it's gloomy here." โ
Nalan said: "Even if there are ghosts, when they come out in broad daylight, aren't they afraid of being burned to death by the sun?" Don't be afraid, this is the imperial city, the heavenly atmosphere is majestic, how can ghosts be allowed to do so? โ
Rong Chang shouted to open the door, and the palace guards Mama Wang and the little palace maids and eunuchs also had a chill on their backs when they heard it.
However, they relied on the fact that they had treated Concubine Hui well, so that they were not afraid of weak legs, but they didn't seem to take Rong Changzai and Nalan Clan very seriously.
Mama Wang said with a smile: "The minions are clean and clean, if Concubine Hui comes back, it is too late for the minions to be happy, as for whether there are ghosts in other people's hearts, the minions don't know." โ
Since Rong Changzai got the queen's words, he let go of his obsession with the cause of the eldest brother's death, and he no longer was arrogant about the palace maid's background, and said hard at the moment: "You should be your own errand, keep your mouth shut, and don't do anything to pretend to be a ghost to live impatiently, but if you are restless when I catch you, go underground to accompany Concubine Hui." โ
Everyone didn't dare to make a sound, and honestly knelt on the ground.
Rong Changzai said: "The rules of the palace are not allowed to set up private incense cases, except for the Qingming and winter solstices every year, don't let me find out that there is incense in the Zhongcui Palace, otherwise you know what the fate is." It's not that I'm disrespectful to Concubine Hui, it's that Concubine Hui also has to give seven points for the rules of the palace, you slaves, don't ruin Niangniang's reputation, be careful of your heads. โ
Seeing that the honest people were powerful, Mama Wang and the others were also timid, and said repeatedly: "The slaves don't dare, the slaves don't dare to ......."
Rong Changzai glanced at the Nalan clan, and before he could shout to them to get up, he left the Zhongcui Palace.
Nalan looked at it coldly, feeling the changes in Rong Chang's body, I heard that on the day she was punished by Concubine Zhao to stand on the palace road to blow the wind, she was finally taken to Kunning Palace by the queen, because it was late, she didn't go over to speak, but when they met again the next day, she was completely like a different person.
These days, the Nalan clan has been wondering what the queen said to Rong Changzai, but Rong Changzai has never mentioned it herself, and she doesn't dare to ask easily.
But this matter did not stop because of this, Li woke up the next day, crying and crying that she really saw the woman in white behind the gate of Zhongcui Palace, no matter how others persuaded her, she insisted that she was not dazzled and not stunned.
And this day and night, the eunuchs who had to pass through the Zhongcui Palace because of their errands actually saw the white clothes hanging high on the door beam, and they were so frightened that they shouted in fright.
In the middle of the night, people from the Internal Affairs Office came, thinking that the eunuchs and palace maids of Zhongcui Palace were responsible, and first detained everyone and went to the Shen Criminal Division.
When the news reached Kunning Palace and Yikun Palace, Ling Zhao ordered torture and questioning, but the queen said that she had gone to bed early and did not express her position.
But this toss, Cining Palace and Ningshou Palace were alarmed, this day Lingzhao came to the Queen Mother to ask for peace, the Queen Mother and Gao Wa Zheng said something solemnly, seeing her, the Queen Mother said: "Please go to the Zhongcui Palace to do it, it is good to drive away evil spirits, Hui'er's child is really, what is she unwilling to do." โ
It's just that Ling Zhao is not afraid of ghosts, she has ghosts in her heart, she sent people to keep an eye on Kunning Palace for three days, the queen was light and breezy, there was nothing, even the minions below performed their duties, and no one did anything suspicious.
This ghost didn't come from Kunning Palace, where did it come from? The Shen Criminal Division beat the minions of Zhong Cui Palace half to death, and they couldn't ask half a word, but they thought about it, don't they want to die, what can they do by pretending to be a ghost?
"Lingzhao?" When the queen mother saw the child's distraction, she said with concern, "Don't be afraid, this is the palace, and the emperor has a strong yang energy and can suppress all evil." โ
Ling Zhao smiled bitterly in her heart, the more the Queen Mother said this, the more it proved that she believed that there were strange forces in this world.
"Yes, the concubine will arrange to invite the shaman to go to the Zhongcui Palace to exorcise evil spirits." Lingzhao agreed.
The next day, the shaman and the mother danced in the Zhongcui Palace for a whole day, and Ling Zhao had to be present to preside over because she promised the queen mother, and she was so troubled that she had a headache.
In the evening, Ling Zhao couldn't help but close her eyes and rest, but when she opened her eyes, the shaman was staring at her, and she was sweating with fright.
"Niangniang, Concubine Hui has an old grudge with you." The shaman said, "I have a way to solve old grudges, is Niangniang willing to give it a try?" โ
Ling Zhao calmed down, straightened his back, and said coldly: "Although the mage exorcises evil spirits, this Zhong Cui Palace is clean, and she naturally can't come back." โ
The shaman said: "Zhong Cui Palace is clean, but your old grievances are entangled in Niangniang's heart, and only Niangniang herself can solve them." โ
Ling Zhao got up, holding majesty and dignity: "No need, mage, please exorcise evil spirits as soon as possible, this palace is still waiting to give an explanation to the Queen Mother." โ
"Yes." The shaman didn't dwell on it, shook the silver bell, and jumped away.
Ling Zhao softened, and helped Dong Yun beside him to stand firmly: "Alarmist, if it weren't for the Queen Mother's unease, I wouldn't be too lazy to toss these things." โ
Dongyun was on the side, her face was pale with fright, and she secretly made a decision in her heart, after this place dispersed, she ordered others to send Niangniang to Ningshou Palace to restore her life, and she followed the shaman all the way out, and asked reverently, is there any way to remove the entanglement of Concubine Hui's soul for Concubine Zhao.
