Zhenfeijing - "Forbidden City"
In the early morning, the red sun of birth casts a ray of light to shine on the earth. On this day, all parts of the Forbidden City are bathed in the warm sun.
The gate of the Forbidden City was slowly opened, and the tourists outside the door were bustling, and the moment the door was opened, everyone walked in, talking and laughing, walking and seeing, so uncomfortable.
Fan Yinan was wearing a long white dress and long black hair, she stood at the gate of the Forbidden City, looking like she was waiting for someone.
"Hey, Sister Yi Nan!" A sweet-looking little girl in a green dress jumped out from behind.
"Zhixin, why are you only here now, I've been waiting for you for a long time." Fan Yinan said with a smile
"Didn't I go to the supermarket and buy a lot of food!" Zhu Zhixin pretended to be aggrieved
"Okay, okay, the door of this Forbidden City is open, let's go in."
"Uh-huh, good~"
After the two finished speaking, they joined hands and entered the Forbidden City with laughter.
The palace of the Forbidden City is very large, the two of them walked all the way to see, rested and stopped, and unconsciously walked to a palace called Ningshou Palace, in the Zhenshun Gate at the north end of Ningshou Palace, a well attracted the attention of the two. The well was surrounded by a railing, with a rusty iron rod in the middle, the mouth of the well was very small, and a sign was hung on the wall behind the well, divided into two sections, one in Chinese and one in English, and the Chinese wrote:
"Zhenfei Well:
Concubine Zhen is the favorite concubine of Emperor Guangxu, she sympathizes with and supports Emperor Guangxu's idea of reform and reform, after the Empress Dowager Cixi stifled the Wuxu reform, Emperor Guangxu was imprisoned in Yingtai, and Concubine Zhen was sent to the cold palace. In 1900, when the Eight-Nation Coalition attacked Beijing, Cixi fled in a hurry, and before leaving, she ordered the eunuch Cui Yugui to push Concubine Zhen into a well and drown. After the following year, the body was salvaged and buried outside the Xizhi Gate, and in 1913, the Chongling Tomb (Guangxu Emperor Mausoleum) of the Qing Dynasty was relocated to the concubine garden. Later generations remade the wellhead and no longer used it. โ

"Zhenfei Well!" Zhu Zhixin thought carefully.
"Legend has it that this well is the one where Concubine Zhen died tragically." Fan Yinan explained
"Sister Yi Nan, listening to your tone, this Zhenfeijing seems to have a story? Sister Yi Nan, your history is better than mine. Why don't you tell me about it? Zhu Zhixin said
Fan Yinan looked at the childish Zhu Zhixin in front of him, sighed lightly, and explained with a smile: "This concubine Zhen, also known as the imperial concubine of Keshun, is the daughter of Changxu, the right attendant of the household, and a person with red flags in Manchuria. Hu Sijing once wrote in "Guowen Beicheng": "Concubine Wei Zhen is well-behaved and pleasing by nature, good at chess, serving the emperor in the day, eating and drinking with the emperor, and Dezong is especially favored." In the fifteenth year of Guangxu (1889 AD), the 13-year-old Tatara and his 15-year-old sister were selected into the palace and were named concubines and concubines respectively. In the twentieth year of Guangxu (A.D. 1894), the Empress Dowager Cixi lived sixty years, and the two of them were promoted to the concubine position, and in the same year, because of their disobedience to Cixi, they were stripped of their clothes and staff in the name of "Xi Shang flashy, and repeatedly begged", and were demoted to nobles, and the following year they were promoted to concubines. In August of the twenty-sixth year of Guangxu (A.D. 1900), the Eight-Nation Coalition invaded Beijing, and the Empress Dowager Cixi forced an excuse to take away Concubine Zhen's inconvenience, and left behind for fear that her youth would cause right and wrong, and humiliate the royal face, so she threw herself into a well and killed her at the age of 24. In the twenty-seventh year of Guangxu (1901 AD), the Qing Dynasty signed the "Xinchou Treaty" with the foreign powers, the coalition troops withdrew from Beijing, and Cixi returned to Luan. After Cixi returned to the palace, she saw that the well that Concubine Zhen had cast was still the same, so she ordered someone to salvage the bones, put them in a coffin, and bury them in the palace maid cemetery south of the eunuch cemetery in Enjizhuang outside Fucheng Gate. After Cixi's death, the regent Zaifeng changed the cause of Concubine Zhen's death from "committing suicide by throwing herself into a well" to "being thrown into a well by Cui Yugui and drowning". In the second year of the Republic of China (A.D. 1913), the Empress Dowager Longyu died, and Concubine Jin's sister was still there, at this time she had been respected as the concubine of Duankang Emperor, and ordered Concubine Zhen to be buried back in the Chongfei Garden of the Western Tomb of the Qing Dynasty, and arranged a small mourning hall for her in the gatehouse on the north side of the Concubine Zhen's well to worship the tablet of Concubine Zhen, and hung a paper plaque on the mourning hall, with the book "Jingwei Tongcheng", praising Concubine Zhen's true feelings for Qing Dezong. โ
"Wow~ Sister Yi Nan, you know so much, you deserve to have lived in Beijing since you were a child, it's amazing!" Zhu Zhixin admired.
"It's not that I know much, but since I was a child, I have followed my parents to visit famous places in Beijing. The more you come, the more you see, the more you hear, the more you understand. Fan Yinan explained
"Okay, okay, sister, the Forbidden City is so big, you can take me to other places to see!"
Zhu Zhixin smiled, took Fan Yinan's hand, jumped up, and ran out like an innocent child.
The Dead Inn
Qian Chen and Hua Xuan sat on the roof of the inn, lazily basking in the sun.
"Qian Chen, what is this Su Xue doing again?" Hua Xuan asked
"How do I know? I can't guess what this girl is thinking. But, Hua Xuan, haven't you been studying that piece of jade lately? Now, there are results? Qian Chen said with concern
"Don't mention it, Qian Chen, it's really strange for you to say, I can see everything in this world through the future, know the past and present lives, but I can't see through the past of that piece of jade." Hua Xuan said seriously
"Hua Xuan, don't worry! If you're free, I'll take a look at it for you! Qian Chen comforted
Hua Xuan sighed lightly and changed the subject: "Forget it, don't mention the headache." By the way, Qianchen, I secretly went to the Chengdu Public Security Bureau today, why don't the people inside remember Luo Yu's case? It's as if Luo Yu's case never happened. Moreover, Luo Yu is still a popular star now, you say, is this your ghost? โ
"I deleted their memories. Otherwise, if that detective boy Officer Xue Yuan knew that there were gods and ghosts in this world, he would have to open this Afterlife Inn! Qian Chen joked
"Qian Chen, are you still afraid of him? Even if he wants to lift it, he probably doesn't have the ability. However, Qian Chen, to be honest, this time, are you a little too indulgent to Luo Yu and Ai Shanshan, Luo Yu murdered so many girls, you said to save it, you saved it, so those dead girls, is it too wrong? Hua Xuan said unevenly
"Are there still fewer unjust cases in the world? Besides, there are not many couples like Luo Yu and Ai Shanshan in the world. Today's people, no matter how loving they are, they will be forced by reality, so this era is not as good as it was back then. What's more, Luo Yu's feelings for Ai Shanshan really touched me, so I really hope that they can be together. Qian Chen said with emotion
Hua Xuan eased the atmosphere and said with a smile: "That's right, Ai Shanshan and Luo Yu are really true love, this has fulfilled a pair of lovers, and it can be regarded as an extra good fate." Qian Chen, the cat demon a few days ago, escaped for her, if she is not subdued, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not make waves in the future? โ
"What? You want to take her now? Qian Chen asked casually
"No, no, no, what am I doing with her now? Besides, I don't know where she went, where am I going to pick her up? โ
"Isn't that clever way of pinching your fingers?" Qian Chen joked
"Don't don't, I'm now, but I don't have time to care about her, besides, God has the virtue of a good life! Why should I kill them all? Besides, if I had time now, I might as well study my jade more! Hua Xuan sighed lightly and joked lazily: "Qian Chen, this originally, the Afterlife Inn will not be nosy, unless it happens to encounter something, or come to the door to find fault, or it is a friend, someone who is destined to invite, but the last one, I will only help when I am in a good mood." Otherwise, this ordinary inn won't be nosy! Okay, Qianchen, you can continue to bask in the sun here, I'm going back to continue studying jade! โ
Hua Xuan left after speaking, leaving Qian Chen alone on the roof to watch the scenery in the distance......
