Gu Ning's beautiful eyes widened: "Then let's go to the Taiye Pond for a stroll, instead of going to the peach forest."

Hearing this, Chu Shiling breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it doesn't involve these dangerous things, she is always easy to talk: "It's okay to go swimming in the lake."

Chu Shiling has always been very good at these fun things, let alone playing with Gu Ning.

Gu Ning smiled at Chu Shiling, Chu Shiling touched his head, feeling that something was wrong.

The spring breeze is warm, and many concubines are by the Taiye Pool.

Concubine Xian committed suicide last night, as if it had never happened.

Several concubines saw Gu Ning and Chu Shiling at a glance. They looked at each other, and they all smiled and came to salute.

These two are county heads, so they are naturally more noble than these beauties like Zhaoyi.

It's just that the delicate-looking concubine at the end didn't move for a long time, her eyes were even raised up, and she looked at Gu Ning with disdain.

Chu Shiling was keenly aware of this line of sight, and anger burst out of her heart.

"What's your look?"

"Master, this is He Zhaoyi, who was just promoted from beauty to Zhaoyi a few days ago."

A little palace maid spoke quickly, intending to remind the two of them that being promoted from a beauty to one of the nine concubines was undoubtedly a blessing.

Chu Shiling's anger became even greater. Although her family background was not as prominent as Gu Ning's, she was from a famous family anyway. Even if she knew that the person in front of her was getting the favor, she was not afraid!

The worst result would be to be grounded for a few days, she would not be willing to let her swallow this breath!

He Zhaoyi sneered a few times, not afraid of Chu Shiling: "I just took a few more glances at Changning County Lord, what's wrong?"

"Besides, so what if I'm wrong?" When she spoke, she snorted haughtily, "Could it be that the emperor will punish me and the emperor's heir in his womb for the sake of several county lords?"

Gu Ning raised his eyebrows high, revealing a meaningful smile: "He Zhaoyi is pregnant? That is such a happy event! Why have you never heard of it from the Queen Mother? I will also prepare a congratulatory gift for He Zhaoyi."

The emperor took the "elixir" of heavy metals that exceeded the standard all the year round. It was the result of the efforts of many imperial doctors in the imperial hospital that he did not have a stroke and hemiplegia. It is really unbelievable that he can still make people pregnant.

The unknown meaning in Gu Ning's eyes made He Zhaoyi subconsciously clenched her hands. Fortunately, she had makeup to cover it up, so no one would notice her guilty conscience.

"I'm a little tired, I want to go back to the palace to rest." He Zhaoyi said displeased, and walked out with the help of the maid.

Several concubines quickly apologized to Gu Ning, and quickly followed her.

Chu Shiling was full of anger, but she had nothing to vent, so she couldn't help cursing: "You didn't see it just now, her eyes..."

"You don't need to get angry with her." Gu Ning patted Chu Shiling's shoulder and left a meaningful sentence, "She won't be proud for a few days."

Although I don't know why He Zhaoyi has such great hostility towards her, the emperor is not a fool. She is so arrogant just because she is pregnant, and sooner or later she will show her feet in front of the emperor.

The most important thing now is to quickly find out the late emperor's edict.

Gu Ning looked around, and finally saw the prosperous peach blossom forest opposite.

"Let's go swimming in the lake." Gu Ning dragged Chu Shiling to the shore of the lake.

Chu Shiling followed behind her, shouting: "We have to wait for the palace servants to come, otherwise how can we..."

"I can row a boat." Gu Ning said, "Who do you want from the palace? Could it be that you still want the whispers between us to be heard?"

Hearing Gu Ning's words, Chu Shiling's eyes lit up.

Just based on intuition, Chu Shiling felt that Gu Ning must know many secrets. As a person who has nothing to do all day and only thinks about eating, drinking and having fun, nothing is more attractive than eating melons.

So, she put the strange feeling behind her and quickly followed Gu Ning.

The palace servants looked sad and did not dare to let the two of them row the boat alone, but Gu Ning had a tough attitude, and Chu Shiling insisted on rowing alone.

They could only let the two of them row the boat alone, but sent a few palace servants to row a small boat to follow them not far away, in case of emergency.

Chu Shiling doesn't know how to row a boat. Gu Ning practiced her body skills a while ago, but at least she is not as delicate as before. In addition, Taiye Pool was calm and calm, so she rowed to the opposite side soon.

Just in time, the wind wrinkled the pool of spring water, and the peach blossoms also fell one after another.

There were colorful fallen flowers in front of him, and there was no other color except peach blossoms. Chu Shiling looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him, but didn't react for a while.

It wasn't until Gu Ning walked in that she grabbed Gu Ning's hand: "I just told you! Next to this peach forest is the abandoned East Palace, why do you still want to come here!"

"We just took a stroll in the peach forest. You can see that the palace people didn't stop us, so it can be seen that this peach forest is not a forbidden area." Gu Ning comforted, "As long as you don't go to the abandoned East Palace, the emperor will not blame you our."

When Chu Shiling heard the words, she looked back suspiciously.

As Gu Ning said, the palace servants who followed them stood there all the time, not intending to stop them.

"Then take a stroll." Chu Shiling reluctantly agreed, and just after taking two steps, she warned again, "First of all, the crown prince is a taboo for the emperor, so you must not break the taboo, otherwise it will be considered a crime." If the eldest princess comes forward, you will not escape!"

"I know." Gu Ning waved her hand. In order to prove her innocence, she took the initiative to hold Chu Shiling's arm.

Seeing this, Chu Shiling breathed a sigh of relief.

Gu Ning also silently woke up the system at this time: "Scan the nearby two kilometers."

"20 luck value, scan now, and get the result in 10 minutes."

"Why don't you go grab it?" Gu Ning gritted his teeth.

The system is straightforward: "The price is set according to the difficulty level. If the host is too expensive, you don't need to scan."

Gu Ning gritted his teeth hard: "20 is 20!"

It's all here, you can't give up halfway!What's more, in order to find clues to the late emperor's edict, this abandoned East Palace is the best choice.

Watching the luck value being deducted, Gu Ning felt a pain in his heart, and subconsciously grasped the things in his hand.

Chu Shiling cried out in pain, and stared at Gu Ning with red eyes: "Are you dissatisfied with me?"

"No." Gu Ning denied, "I was just distracted just now."

At this time, the system has successfully scanned a radius of one kilometer. Gu Ning looked at the few dark things underground, and his eyes showed a stern look.

It seems that there is indeed something in this ruin, and I still have to find a chance to go in.

It's just that in the scanned image given by the system, Gu Ning also saw a lot of figures. It seems that the emperor is also guilty and sent someone to stare at the ruins.

Gotta figure out a way to let people in.

Looking at the endless peach blossom forest, Gu Ning sighed quietly.

It was a quiet and secluded environment, and Chu Shiling was still in fear of the death of the fourth prince, when she heard this voice, goose bumps appeared on her body.

"It's fine, why are you sighing?" Chu Shiling rubbed her arms and looked around uneasily. She was relieved only when she realized that several palace servants were still following behind her.

Gu Ning said softly: "I suddenly thought of something just now. You said that the concubine Xian committed suicide last night because she saw the soul of the Fourth Prince? Then this abandoned East Palace...does it have many wronged souls?"

The more Gu Ning said, the more afraid Chu Shiling became.

She quickly waved her hand, as if this would make the ghosts around her leave, and her voice became sharp: "Don't talk nonsense! It's been so many years, I've never heard of a ghost here! Besides, there is a debt of injustice. With the Lord, even if there are wronged souls, they will never come to us!"

At the same time, the system archived the scanned image. Gu Ning saw that he was done, pretended to be scared, and pulled Chu Shiling's hand harder: "I don't want to see flowers, let's go back earlier!"

Seeing that she was so panicked, Chu Shiling felt that the surrounding environment had also become gloomy.

Her teeth chattered up and down, and her voice trembled: "I'm afraid too."

She didn't know what to think of, she hurriedly dragged Gu Ning to go out: "Let's go quickly, many people have died!"

What Gu Ning was waiting for was Chu Shiling's words. She and Chu Shiling supported each other and walked out. Suddenly, she screamed.

Chu Shiling jumped up in fright.

"There is someone!" Gu Ning pointed in the direction of the ruins, there was no one there, her fingers were trembling, her tone was weak, "Look, is there someone there!"

Chu Shiling only felt that the hair all over her body was blown up, her scalp was numb, and she cautiously looked towards the direction Gu Ning was pointing at.

"I didn't see anything!" Chu Shiling covered her eyes and looked out through her fingers.

Just at this moment, the wind blew over, the treetops were blown, and the shadow falling on the ground also shook. Chu Shiling misread it, thinking that it was the figure Gu Ning was talking about.

She screamed: "There is a ghost!"

The palace people who followed immediately rushed over, Chu Shiling yelled in horror, Gu Ning even closed his eyes, and passed out directly.

Before fainting, she did not forget to wave her sleeve and sprinkle the drug inside on Chu Shiling's face, and Chu Shiling also passed out.

For a while, the palace people were in a hurry and took the two of them out.

……

"Haunted?"

It was in He Zhaoyi's palace that the emperor got the news from Li Dehai before he could stay warm for a moment.

Li Dehai didn't dare to look up, and whispered: "It's...in the peach blossom forest beside Taiye Pool."

This place name, the emperor immediately thought of the abandoned palace.

"What did they see?"

The emperor's nerves were tense, and he asked through gritted teeth.

Li Dehai shook his head: "The two county lords have fainted, and they are still awake."

When He Zhaoyi heard the news of Gu Ning's fainting, she gloated and said, "Perhaps the County Lord Changning did something wrong, which made him bump into a ghost in the daytime!"

Soon, she couldn't laugh anymore.

Because at this time the emperor's eyes were staring at her sullenly.
