After rebirth, I became the white moonlight of Hunjun

Weiyang Palace.

"Miss, there is a letter from the prince."

Just after dinner, Lin Zhiyu squinted her eyes and fell asleep when she heard Qiaoxiu's hurried footsteps.

Probably due to the journey, Lin Zhiyu had not received a letter from Zhou Zijin for several days.

"Returning to Beijing soon?" Lin Zhiyu was a little surprised.

Qiao Xiu's face lit up: "Is it possible that the Xirong people surrendered without a fight?"

Lin Zhiyu shook his head: "The letter said that the King of Jin went to peace talks in person as an envoy. Some details need to be decided by the emperor, so he will come back with the envoy from Xirong."

Why is this different from the last life?

Lin Zhiyu was a little uneasy. It was because of the victory in the previous life that the Xirong people sent a letter of surrender. The envoy sent by Xirong was the eldest prince of their royal family to show their sincerity.

The monarch of Qin had just taken office and was basically unstable. It was time to recuperate, so Zhou Tingchen agreed to the Xirong people's request to exchange cities.

At that time, Zhou Zijin was still recovering from his injuries. After learning the news, he had a big quarrel with Zhou Tingchen.

"It's hard to say whether there will be any more variables along the way." Lin Zhiyu frowned, wondering if Zhou Zijin had put on the chainmail he made himself, or if he had avoided the Xirong people's hidden arrows.

Qiao Xiu roughly calculated the days: "The prince should have set off now. If you walk quickly, you can arrive in about two or three days. At that time, the emperor will go out of the city to greet you in person. Do you want to go with me, eldest lady?"

"Row."

Lin Zhiyu nodded in agreement, Qiao Xiu smiled brightly, said he wanted to help her prepare in advance, and left happily.

She had accompanied her as a queen before. At that time, the eldest prince Zheng Guanyue noticed her and used Lin Zhiyu to humiliate Zhou Tingchen at the reception banquet later.

Now that she is just a princess who has not yet passed away, she should not repeat the mistakes of her previous life.

Lin Xiaolian had just returned from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and put down the things in her hands with a smile.

Lin Zhiyu took a look and saw that they were all fruits and snacks, and the portions were much larger than usual.

"Miss, the eunuch in charge of distributing the portions was extra generous today. Look, these are enough to last a long time."

Lin Zhiyu happened to be thirsty, so she picked out an apple from the fruit basket, broke it in half with her bare hands, and handed the other half to Xiaolian very naturally.

One bite, crispy and sweet.

"Did something happy happen in the palace today?"

Lin Xiaolian took it without politeness and took a bite: "It is said that Concubine Ling was dancing with her sword when she got up in the morning, and she happened to be bumped into by the emperor. In addition, Jiang Zhaoyi was so unhappy that the Zhaoyang Palace suffered a lot. Rewards, everyone says that the Jiang sisters will return to the days when they were so favored."

Where is the favor? This is probably for Jiang Sheng to see.

Lin Zhiyu said softly "Oh" and suddenly thought of someone: "Why didn't you see Chunliu today?"

"Oh, Chunliu said that he was ill and it would not be easy to recover, so he simply transferred back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs." Lin Xiaolian recalled.

What kind of trick does Wei Shuyi want to play?

"Chunliu belongs to Wei Shuyi. It is probably her intention to transfer him now."

Before he finished speaking, a shrill cat meow suddenly came from the distance, making people's hair stand on end.

"Why are there wild cats in this palace? It's really weird." Lin Xiaolian got goosebumps all over her body, "Miss, you'd better go to bed early tonight. I always feel fuzzy in my heart, as if something is going to happen. .”

The master and servant cleaned up for a while, then went back to their houses to rest.

At midnight, there was a sudden scream, followed by a burst of chaotic footsteps, which woke Lin Zhiyu up.

She casually put on a coat, and as soon as she sat up, she saw Xiaolian running towards her with a pillow in her arms.

"Miss, look at the atmosphere and feeling this night, does it look like the haunted night before?" Lin Xiaolian got up in a hurry and shivered when the night wind blew her.

Lin Zhiyu went inside and made room for Xiaolian: "Don't talk nonsense, even if it is haunted, it has nothing to do with us. Every injustice has its owner, so what are you afraid of?"

It happened to be Qiaoxiu who was keeping watch tonight. When she heard the movement, she immediately opened the door to confirm Lin Zhiyu's safety.

"How about I go take a look outside and find out what happened?" Qiao Xiu couldn't help laughing when she saw Lin Xiaolian was as scared as a quail.

"Don't!"

Lin Xiaolian struggled to persuade her to stay: "Among the three of us, you are the bravest. If you leave, what will happen if ghosts come in?"

Qiaoxiu was amused: "You can just rest inside and I'll be guarding you outside the door. If anything happens, just call me."

The next morning.

Lin Zhiyu was so troubled last night that he lost sleep. There were two black spots under his eyes and he looked listless.

Lin Xiaolian beside her was not much better, yawning continuously.

I was about to take a walk in the yard to wake up, but I smelled a strong smell of mugwort.

As the smoke filled the air, Lin Zhiyu coughed several times and saw a figure not far away, holding a bundle of mugwort and smoking it everywhere.

"If it were to repel mosquitoes, there wouldn't be such a big fight." Lin Zhiyu came closer and realized it was Qiao Xiu.

Qiaoxiu was startled by Lin Zhiyu. After seeing the person clearly, she hurriedly put down the mugwort in her hand and took out a small bag of tips from her arms.

"Girl, put this on quickly!" She forced the kit into Lin Zhiyu's hands, with a panicked look on her face, "This is what I managed to snatch, and it's the last one!"

"What is this?" Lin Zhiyu was puzzled. Is it something newly popular?

"There is an aunt over there. Her family has some connections with Cheng'en Temple. There are only a dozen or so people who came here specifically. It is said that it is most effective in exorcising evil spirits. They only cost twenty taels of silver each!" Qiaoxiu said mysteriously, "These days, I have been here for a long time. It’s not peaceful in the palace!”

Lin Zhiyu woke up immediately.

"The sound came from Zhaoyang Palace last night, and the emperor was alarmed! Now, it has spread like wildfire."

Lin Xiaolian on the side suddenly felt her scalp numb: "What exactly happened?"

"Didn't the scream alarm a lot of people at that time, and then the Imperial Army must have gone over to take a look. It is said that some people saw the ghost!"

"It's fake, isn't it? Ghosts are just phantoms. Are you really right?" Lin Xiaolian questioned.

Seeing that she didn't believe it, Qiao Xiu said in a very firm tone: "How can I be wrong about this? The person who saw the ghost was the thorny man next to Commander Zhuang, Chen Zeyu! A grown man was so scared that he pissed his pants!"

"What if it's a human shadow?" Lin Zhiyu didn't believe it either.

"This is the most crucial point. Why did he think he saw a ghost?" Qiaoxiu came closer, glanced left and right, and lowered her voice, "Because that figure is exactly the same as the late Xu Xiuyuan!"

"Now everyone is saying that there is something fishy about Xu Xiuyuan's death, and that this is an innocent soul seeking her life!"
