Chapter 288: The Death of Take Profit
A strong wind blew, and it was the beginning of autumn. The wind came very violently, one after another, and in the middle of the night, it gave people an eerie and terrifying feeling for no reason.
Zhiying tossed and turned in bed, never able to sleep, as if she could see Pei'er's face as soon as she closed her eyes, screamed and asked her why she wanted to hurt herself, and simply got up.
"Pei'er, Pei'er, go in peace, don't bother me again. "Take out the soothing incense that others have rewarded before, it is said that this is a good thing to help people fall asleep, take profit and light it, I just hope that I can sleep peacefully, and don't close my eyes to be Pei'er's screaming.
Another gust of evening wind blew, driving the branches in the garden, and the sound was very terrible, and Zhiying hurriedly prepared to go to bed, but saw a long-haired figure floating by outside the window, very much like the dead Pei'er.
Zhiying patted his face and said, "It must be too late to sleep and hallucinate." So he climbed into bed.
"You've hurt me so badly!Stop profit~" An ethereal but very frustrating voice came, which sounded very similar to Pei'er's voice.
Unable to continue to tell himself that this was an illusion, he sat up and pretended to be calm, but his voice could be found to be trembling if he listened closely, "Who is pretending to be a ghost? ”
"Take profit, it's me, I'm Pei'er, Pei'er who sweeps with you every day. The voice sounded again, and the figure of the long-haired woman appeared outside the window again.
"You...... Why are you pretending to be Pei'er to scare me......" she said, still stubbornly speaking, her voice trembling even more, unable to finish a sentence completely.
"Have you forgotten my voice?" said Rapunzel once. But this time, he floated to the door of the room from the window, his long hair was draped down indiscriminately, his face was pale and terrible, and his face was exposed, it was Pei'er who was framed by Zhiying.
Seeing that Pei'er, who was supposed to be dead, suddenly appeared, he quickly covered his face and shouted: "Ah~" When he put down his hand, Pei'er in front of him was gone, standing outside the window.
"Pei...... Pei'er said tremblingly, "You, don't come here, I don't want to hurt you." ”
As she spoke, the whole person shrank into the corner next to the bed, as if she was very afraid that Pei'er would come in to find her, "I just want to scare Niangniang and avenge Miss Liu, you ...... You also know, Miss Liu is kind to me. ”
"But why do you want to harm me? Pei'er's voice came again.
"I ...... I don't want to hurt you, I didn't expect it to be this big. Zhi Ying said as he covered his head. "I just wanted to find a scapegoat for myself, but I didn't expect you to die......! I've recited the death mantra to you, so go away. ”
Zhiying said and talked to himself, but he still covered his head and didn't dare to look at the window, and after talking for a while, Zhiying found that there was no sound coming, so he slowly let go of the hands covering his head.
"The Emperor...... Emperor. It didn't seem that he had reacted from the arrival of "Pei'er" just now, and looked at Mu Yunting and Xu Lianyi who suddenly appeared in front of him.
He looked to the side again and suddenly shouted, "Ah...... Pei'er. And when I looked closely, the long-haired woman dressed in white next to her was Wu Peiling, but she had already taken off the disguise of "Pei'er".
"Take profit, you are guilty. Xu Lianyi looked at the take-profit in front of her, which was already on the verge of collapse, and said loudly. "First deliberately murdered the palace, and then designed to trap Pei'er, you are guilty. ”
Zhi Ying looked at the woman who was talking in front of him, was in a trance, and whispered: "Pei...... What about Pei'er. ”
"Pei'er is not dead at all, she is fine now. Wu Peiling said loudly, "When I searched the palace, I guessed that Pei'er was framed by you, and now it seems that this is really the case." ”
Zhiying didn't seem to hear Wu Peiling's words, and when she heard "Pei'er is not dead", she began to chatter and kept saying "Pei'er is not dead, Pei'er is not dead." ”
I saw her get out of bed, and the whole person seemed to collapse, and first whispered: "Pei'er is not dead...... It's not dead, hahaha......" and laughed to death, and suddenly, it hit the pillar in the room.
Wu Peiling looked at the profit after hitting the pillar, blood kept flowing out of her forehead, she reached out to probe her nose, and then said, "It's out of gas." ”
Xu Lianyi looked at Zhiying who was lying on the ground, sighed, and walked outside.
The matter of stopping profit was announced to the palace, but it did not cause much turmoil, probably because the Mid-Autumn Festival is approaching, from the queen mother to the palace maids and eunuchs, they are all busy with the Mid-Autumn Festival.
"Niangniang, the little master has been crying for some reason, and the nurse can't be coaxed. Huiyu hurriedly came in and told Xu Lianyi with a panicked face.
As soon as Xu Lianyi heard that it was Mu Jingxi's business, she couldn't care about the work she was busy with, and hurriedly followed Huiyu to Mu Jingxi's side.
"Here's what's going on. Xu Lianyi hugged Mu Jingxi into her arms, hummed comfortingly, and patted gently. But there was no improvement, and Mu Jingxi was still crying.
"The slave doesn't know that the little master has been crying like this, and he can't be appeased no matter how he tries it. The nurse replied.
Xu Lianyi looked at the little person who had been crying in her arms, her heart was distressed, and she said, "When did this start?"
"It started at nightfall, and I cried one after another. The nurse didn't dare to hide it, "My poor little master, don't hurt your throat." ”
Hearing this, Xu Lianyi didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly ordered someone to invite the imperial doctor to check on Mu Jingxi.
A group of imperial doctors were busy, but they didn't find out why, so they had to stubbornly reply: "Back to Niangniang, the little master's food, clothing and daily life are not appropriate." ”
Xu Lianyi saw that she couldn't check anything, so she had to give up, and the person in her arms was quiet at this time, but she didn't know when the next time she cried. Xu Lianyi thought quietly, as if she was distressed by the reason why Mu Jingxi was crying.
"Mother...... Empress. A palace maid who took care of Mu Jingxi on the side said in a hurry, "Slave...... Slave maid, there is one thing I don't know whether to do or not. ”
Xu Lianyi looked up at the palace maid in front of her, and she didn't look like she was cheating, so she said, "It's okay for you to say." ”
"Recently, there have been rumors in the palace that this palace is not clean, and there are many lonely souls who have died unjustly and are unwilling to leave. When the palace maid heard Xu Lianyi's words, she said boldly, "The little master is crying, is it because of this matter, others say that children's eyes are the brightest......
"Hugh is talking nonsense!" Xu Lianyi scolded angrily, "Give me an order, and if you are such a rumor-monger, you will get the board by yourself." ”
Xu Lianyi sent an order to stop the spread of "haunted" rumors, but it didn't seem to work, and the rumors became more and more ferocious.
In Weiyang Palace, Xu Lianyi and Wu Peiling were bowing their heads and discussing something at this time, but Mu Yunting was snubbed by the two of them, drinking tea on the side.
As the Mid-Autumn Festival is getting closer and closer, all kinds of trivial matters are becoming more and more complicated. Xu Lianyi dealt with the outfits to be purchased in the palaces during the Mid-Autumn Festival, so she pulled Wu Peiling over to act as a coolie. Mu Yunting would come uninvited every time he went down to the court, so he had this scene.
Punch Tongue hurriedly ran in, looking very flustered, and gasping for breath: "Lord...... Master"
"What's the matter? Xu Lianyi looked at the flustered appearance of the witty words, and handed over the cup, "Say it slowly, don't worry." ”
Punch Yu hurriedly poured a big sip of water, and then said: "Recently, there have been rumors of ghosts in the palace, and it is also said that the little master's crying is because he saw a ghost." ”
Hearing this, Xu Lianyi put down the work in her hand and raised her head, as long as it was related to the child, she would be very nervous.
"It's really something that's not clean. Wu Peiling saw Xu Lianyi's flustered and nervous look, and comforted her, "Maybe we can invite Taoist priests outside the palace to enter the palace to exorcise ghosts, which is often done among the people." ”
"What Taoist priest exorcises ghosts?" Mu Yunting also put down the cup at this time and asked out loud.
"It's when someone in the family is sick or unlucky. will feel that there is something unclean at work, so they will ask a Taoist priest to exorcise ghosts. Wu Peiling explained.
"It's just ridiculous!" Mu Yunting said loudly, with a faint anger on his face, "If even we believe in this ghost and god, what should the atmosphere in this palace be?"
"Just talk, why are you so angry, she also has good intentions. Xu Lianyi gently pushed him.
"The Imperial Physician may have examined the living things in Xi'er's room. Mu Yunting was pushed by Xu Lianyi, and her anger disappeared a lot, "When did Xi'er start crying? ”
"The doctor checked it and said that there was nothing wrong with it, Xi'er's crying started at night, and there was no adverse reaction. Xu Lianyi explained softly.
Mu Yunting tilted his head slightly, frowning, as if he was thinking about how to solve the matter.
"Send someone to invite Qin Tianjian and tell the palaces that I will light the lanterns in the imperial garden tonight and catch ghosts all night. Mu Yunting finished speaking angrily.
When the two heard Mu Yunting make a decision, they didn't ask any more questions and quietly began to deal with the things in their hands.
Night slowly falls, and the day passes slowly.
At this moment, in the imperial garden, a bright yellow monarch was sitting on a chair, and Qin Tianjian was also standing next to him with a respectful face, and many lights were lit in the imperial garden, illuminating this place as if it were day.
Xu Lianyi and Wu Peiling did not go to the Imperial Garden, but took care of Mu Jingxi in the palace, and the autumn night was even more exposed, so it was impossible to take Mu Jingxi to the Imperial Garden.
"Xi'er is well-behaved today. Wu Peiling looked at Mu Jingxi, who was sleeping very peacefully in Xu Lianyi's arms.
Hearing this, Xu Lianyi looked down at the little man in her arms, her little face was very cute, and she gently touched the bulging cheeks with her hand, and smiled very lovingly.
