Chapter 2 Aren't you afraid of water ghosts asking for your life?

Gong Que briefly appeased Xu Yuan, and paced to "visit" the arrogant uninvited guest.

"Why, there is no one alive in this huge Yongxu Palace?"

The sound went from far to near, and Gong Que looked up and saw a woman standing not far away.

She was followed by four brocade-clothed maids, who were menacing, threatening to raze this place to the ground.

According to the memory in the original owner's mind, this should be Xiao Cairen, who lives in Mingyue Palace not far away-Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue relied on her appearance to win the emperor's favor, and since then she has become more and more arrogant, and there is no one in her eyes.

But whenever she is angry, she will come to Yongxu Palace to stir up trouble, using Xu Yuan's mother and daughter as punching bags, beating and scolding, and not treating them as human beings at all.

Gong Que looked at the big-chested woman in front of him and twitched the corner of his mouth-

From the bottom of her heart, she looked down on the ostentatious woman in front of her.

I think she was the first to come to the knot when Xu Yuan was favored, and now, when Xu Yuan lost power, she saw that the wind made the rudder and the princess next door embarrassed, and kept suppressing Yongxu Palace.

I don't know what this madman, a little princess, is worthy of their eyes.

It's weird.

"Aunt Xiao." Gong Que raised his head and looked at the woman with heavy makeup, pretending to be docile, and her voice was thin and soft, "I don't know what happened to Aunt Xiao here?" โ€

Looking at Gong Que in front of her, who was not yet as tall as her legs, Xiao Yue's disdain was not concealed, and she sneered after looking her up and down.

After being selected, Gong Que saw the person in front of him pointing to the bridge of his nose, and said angrily: "What about Xu Yuan?" Tell her to come out, yesterday she scared my white balls, and now I'm here to ask for an explanation! โ€

This excuse is obviously unreasonable, but the harem is a place where unreasonableness is allowed, but any excuse can provoke a disaster.

But Gong Que didn't seem to care about her strange reason, and turned to think about another thing.

White balls? What's that?

Gong Que recalled in his mind with a puzzled face-

That's right, Xiao Yue does have a special white cat called Baiqiu.

It's an interesting name.

White balls? Why isn't it called mothballs? It's all white, it's all spheres, and this name is not more heartfelt than "white balls"?

Gong Que didn't go to Xu Yuan, didn't take Xiao Yue's words, just stood there neither humble nor arrogant, staring at the corner of her skirt.

Suddenly, a burst of yin qi floated, causing Gong Que's eyes to stare at the broken well behind Xiao Yue.

Presumably, the unjust soul in the well can't hold back his feelings, right?

"Speak, what, you're still dumb?!"

Seeing Gong Que's appearance of pretending to be dumb, Xiao Yue was angry and didn't fight anywhere-

She was already angry with Concubine Ning, and now this little bastard dares not to listen to her.

On this day, do you really have to be angry with her?!

The current Xiao Yue is a big balloon full of air, and Gong Que's inaction is undoubtedly like a pump, hula and hula in her body, desperately trying to make her explode.

Long.

Just when she was itching with hatred and was about to explode in anger, she suddenly heard Gong Querou's weak reply:

"The concubine is in poor health, so it is not suitable to come out to see Aunt Xiao for the time being." Xiao Tuanzi pretended to be submissive, and there was a little trembling in her soft tone, "If my aunt is angry, sprinkle it on Chi Chi, don't embarrass Chi Chi's mother." โ€

Yes, it's Chi Chi's mother, not her mother.

These grievances and hatreds in the palace are none of her business, but Xu Yuan looks too much like the woman.

Even with that face, Gong Que couldn't see her being bullied.

"That's what you said!"

Xiao Cairen raised her hand suddenly, wanting to slap Gong Que's delicate face, but in the next second, Gong Que's words made her look so frightened.

I saw that the little group in front of her suddenly changed her expression, swept away her previous cowardice, her eyes were full of indifference, and she pointed to the broken well behind her for a long time-

"If Aunt Xiao is not afraid of the life-seeking water ghost who comes to you behind her, you can beat and scold you as much as you want."

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yue's pretty face instantly turned pale with fright, her beautiful eyes stared at Gong Que's handsome little face, and her panicked appearance was reflected in the child's clear eyes.

The palace maids: "!! โ€

Yes, three days ago, Xiao Yuegang and these palace maids threw Yan'er, the palace maid who maintained Xu Yuan, into the well.

But this little girl was not present at the time, how could she know this?

Don't......

A thought gradually drilled out of Xiao Yue's mind, causing chills down her spine and a layer of fine sweat behind her.

"Hu, nonsense, how can there be ghosts in this world? You dead girl don't talk nonsense there!! โ€

After Xiao Yue finished speaking, she couldn't help but swallow her saliva fiercely, her body stiffened, and the blood in her body seemed to be flowing backwards.

Gong Que frowned, looking at the well behind Xiao Yue with a sincere face, her eyes were full of playfulness: "It's true, she crawled out of the well, her hair was scattered, her clothes were messy, and her whole body was wet, I don't believe you look back." โ€

People with weak hearts naturally don't dare to look back, Xiao Yue's voice trembled: "Still, what?!" โ€

"And? And she kept saying, Xiao Yue, you don't want to die well, why do you push me into the well, I want you to pay for your life now! Saying that, Gong Que looked behind Xiao Yue slightly, pretending to be scared and kindly admonished, "She's not far behind you, you have to be careful." โ€

As soon as Gong Que's words fell, the palace maid behind Xiao Yue suddenly screamed: "Niangniang, there are water stains on the ground!! โ€

Xiao Yue felt that she was covered in lead, unable to move, and the buzzing in her ears did not stop, in her eyes, only she and Gong Que were the only two people left in this world.

"It's coming, it's coming soon,......" Gong Que's voice became more and more illusory and ethereal, like a powerful ghost coming out of the abyss, whispering hoarsely, "She came to you to ask for her life." โ€

Before Gong Que finished speaking, Xiao Yue screamed all of a sudden, ran out of Yongxu Palace in a hurry, and even accidentally slipped off the golden hairpin in her hair.

"Mother, mother!"

Seeing Xiao Yue like this, those palace maids hurriedly fled into the wilderness, for fear that the water ghost would touch themselves and bring bad luck to themselves.

For a time, the people who were originally "united" escaped from Yongxu Palace in an instant.

In the huge place, only Gong Que was left.

Oh, but that's it.

Gong Que casually tucked his hands into his wide-sleeved robe.

She thought it was a big man, but she was just a violent tiger Feng He.

Restrained her sneering expression, Gong Que slowly stretched out her hand, looked directly at the water ghost in front of her, without fear, and accurately said her first and last name: "Xiao Yan." โ€

There are ghosts, there are really ghosts, and she never deceives people.

"Three princesses? Third princess, can you see the slave?! The water ghost was a little surprised and shook Gong Que's little hand.

Gong Que watched the water ghost in front of him, who was originally drenched and drenched, suddenly turned into a maid, dressed in a dilapidated palace costume, with a pair of bright eyes, looking cute.

"I'm not your third princess, she's dead, my name is Gong Que."

Gong Que had to tell Xiao Yan this cruel truth.

As soon as these words came out, the water ghost's heart sank, and his voice was sad and sad: "That's the case, no wonder you can see me." โ€

"It's all my fault, I didn't protect my mother, I didn't protect the princess."

"No, you're doing a good job." Gong Que's voice couldn't help but soften, "You are very loyal, rest assured, I will protect your mother in the future, you can rest assured that you will be reincarnated." โ€

"Well, I believe you, presumably the third princess must have her own reason for letting you live instead of her, and in the future, the mother will rely on you."

"Remember, be careful of the queen, Wang Guifei, Ning Concubine, and Xiao Cairen."

"They ......"

Before he finished speaking, Xiao Yan's figure disappeared in front of Gong Que's eyes.

Queen, Wang Guifei, Ning Concubine, Xiao Cairen...... Gong Que thought to himself about these four people.

Be careful?

She got it.

Picking up the golden hairpin on the ground, Gong Que patted the ash on it, and his eyes were faint-

It's just a mortal.

Holding this precious thing in her hand, she weighed it twice, and felt that it was a good weight.

This thing can be sold for a lot of money, so I bought it another day, bought some rice and noodles from other places, and improved Xu Yuan's food.

This thought reminded her that Xu Yuan was still alone in the house!

Gong Que was afraid that something would happen to her, so he hurried back to the house.

Sure enough, Xu Yuanse shrank and hid under the table, holding his head, and kept muttering: "Don't hit me, don't beat me...... It hurts ......."

Looking at her frightened look, I think she is usually bullied.

Gong Que was a little helpless, sighed silently in his heart, and squatted down to get under the table.

Xu Yuan was still begging for mercy: "Don't hit me, woo woo." โ€

With tears in his eyes, Xu Yuan vaguely saw a person slowly raising his hand......

Are you going to be beaten again?

Xu Yuan couldn't help but curl up his body tighter.

The expected pain did not strike, but a warm embrace enveloped her.

She gradually opened her eyes, only to see her Chi Chi gently holding her.

"Late ...... Late? Xu Yuan's voice trembled to the extreme, and his lips twitched, "Mother concubine is afraid, they beat me, it hurts, woo woo woo ......"

"It's okay, don't be afraid." Gong Que gently pressed Xu Yuan's head to his shoulder, and patiently whispered, "It's okay, I will protect you in the future." โ€

Xu Yuan burst into tears.

Gong Que gently stroked her back, and suddenly felt that she was good like this-

Crazy, can't hear, can't understand.

The outside world is detached from her, and she only needs to live in the world she imagined.

Listening to Xu Yuan's suppressed sobbing, Gong Que suddenly thought that thousands of years ago, she was holding that young man in her arms like this.

At that time, he was like this, hugging himself tightly, burying his head in his neck and weeping.

And she stroked his spine and comforted him softlyโ€”

"Don't be afraid."

"I've always been there."

โ€ฆโ€ฆ

Kunning Palace.

When Mingxiang came, the man was sitting upright, teasing a pair of canaries in the cage, his lips were not smiling, and he looked like he was in peace.

"Queen Mother, according to the eyeliner, it is said that the three princesses can actually see ghosts after they come back from the dead!"

"Oh?"

The woman in a plain palace dress smiled slightly, with a delicate bodhisattva face, but the methods behind her back were very ruthless.

I saw Empress Liao touch the cup in her hand, and her eyebrows were full of disdain: "At a young age, she learned to pretend to be a ghost, but sooner or later, one day she will meet with the so-called ghosts and gods in her mouth." โ€

"...... with that woman"

Sent to hell by oneself with one's own hands!
