I am a cat in the palace
Chapter 22
This middle-aged beautiful woman is the first owner of this palace. I still remember that the name of this palace when it was newly built was not Jinglan Garden, but "Yuanying Palace".
The middle-aged lady is the first wife of the founding emperor of the former dynasty. She has not had a good day since she married the ambitious hero. Following the founding emperor to fight the world, all Wan Guan's family wealth was donated, and I went to the battle with my husband and went through life and death. Of the more than 100 men in the family who died, only less than [-] were left. Her two older brothers They all died on the battlefield, and one of them died defending her husband from an arrow.But when His Majesty the emperor sat on the dragon chair, he sealed a concubine's room on the grounds that she was over forty and childless.She was not childless, but her two sons were lost in the ups and downs, one was stillborn, and the other was trampled to death by a horse's hoof in the rebellious army before she was born at full term.But that concubine's room was presented by a flatterer after the overall situation of the world was settled. She said it was his daughter. In fact, everyone knew that it was just a high-ranking singer who was raised in his house. human.
It's just that the founding emperor seemed to have completely forgotten the deep affection and righteousness of his wife who was a poor wife at a young age. When he saw the singer, he couldn't even move his eyes. Immediately take it back to the house and accept it as a concubine.Concubine Yuan is a kind and generous woman, although she was displeased in her heart, she thought that the couple had passed their thirties and had no sons and half daughters under their knees, so they really needed to bring in a new concubine to help their husband-in-law. So he left the woman behind.The woman's belly was really good, or the founding emperor really worked hard on this concubine, and within a year, the concubine gave birth to a son, and the founding emperor even regarded the woman as a beautiful pearl, Gradually, he spoiled the woman so much that he didn't know how high or low he was.
Three years later, the world was at peace, and the husband of Concubine Yuan finally ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor. Logically speaking, proclaiming himself emperor should also be named empress.Although in the past three years, Concubine Yuan obviously felt that her husband's heart was getting farther and farther away from her, but no matter what, she still had her family behind her and the ministers of civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty who walked together in the battle of life and death. She never thought about this The ruthless and widowed emperor could have so much affection and kindness for a dancer, so he dared to risk the power of the world, and sent the phoenix crown and gold book that should have been handed over to her hand to that lowly dancer.She never expected to be favored by the emperor, but she never thought that the emperor would even deprive her of the dignity she deserved.The crown fell on the lowly dancer's head, but she was casually dismissed as a Yuan concubine, not even a noble concubine.After conferring concubine, the emperor hypocritically built a Yuanying Hall for her, saying that she was his first wife in Yuan characters, and the English characters were to commend her meritorious deeds and commemorate the hardships they had gone through together. As if she was a three-year-old, lying to her with nonsense that even he wouldn't believe.
Of course, this incident caused an uproar in the court, but the final outcome was not happy. The battle for succession turned into a partisan battle, and the partisan battle turned into a massacre. The family of Concubine Yuan also had some founding heroes After being slaughtered in this premeditated massacre, it wasn't until that moment that Concubine Yuan suddenly realized that all this was planned long ago by her husband, whom she wholeheartedly trusted and helped, and that she and her family were nothing but A stepping stone under the emperor's feet, he has never put her in his heart, even for the emperor, she and her outstanding family have become a huge threat after the emperor's throne is stabilized, and she is a great threat to him. Affection and kindness are worthless in his eyes.
On the night when the family was destroyed, Concubine Yuan committed suicide by hanging herself from a beam with a three-foot white silk.She was the first owner of this palace, but she ended her life in such a tragic way, her resentment could not be dispelled, and she stayed in this palace forever.
Therefore, this gloomy palace, which was not known to have been tampered with at the beginning of its construction, has since become a haunted house, and has continued to accumulate grievances and resentments from generation to generation until now.

I walked up to Concubine Yuan to check her injuries, I couldn't see anything from the front, but when I walked around behind her, I was instantly furious: "Who did it?"
"do not know."
"Where?"
"Waiting for Yuelin."
My brows are slowly tightened, and my eyes are fixed on the back of Concubine Yuan, where there is a crescent-shaped wound from the back of Concubine Yuan's neck to her waist. There is a faint black light around the wound, and there is a burst of light. The foul-smelling evil power is burning away her soul body at a speed visible to the naked eye.Although now she can still barely stand with her hundreds of years of Taoism, but if it continues to deteriorate like this, within three days, she will be burnt out of her wits by this evil force.
"A few days?"
"Three days." Concubine Yuan forced a smile.
"Why didn't you come to me sooner?" I was angry.
Concubine Yuan was slightly stunned, "Could it be that His Majesty has a way to heal your concubines?"
"Why wouldn't I?" You really deserved to suffer for daring to question my ability, "Sit at that table." I casually pointed at a coffee table in the hall angrily.
Concubine Yuan smiled and nodded, and sat down obediently, while Li Lian'er and Chen Jin consciously guarded the two sides with curious faces.
"You were injured by the sorcery of soul devouring. I will find a way to remove that sorcery from your soul body. It would be fine two days earlier. Now the poison of sorcery has penetrated into the depths of your soul body." , Forcibly pulling out your soul body will seriously damage your soul body, and repairing this wound will also consume a lot of soul power, I estimate that you may only have to raise it for ten or eight years to recover." I jumped on the table and used the tip of my claws on the The black light from the wound made a gesture.
"Your Majesty, wait!" Just as I was about to slash my claws, Chen Jin suddenly called out, "Is this okay? Don't mess around, your claws, touching us is like cutting us with a knife. Sister Yuan The injury is not serious, if you scratch it again, will your soul be blown away immediately?"
I rolled my eyes at her, "Why don't you come?"
"No, no, you're still here, the concubine is... just a reminder in advance."
I snorted coldly, shook off my tail, ignored her, and turned my attention back to the wound on Concubine Yuan's back.
I have lived in the palace for hundreds of years, maybe more, why I will never grow old and die, I don't know, I only know that I should not be a god, because I can't fly, it seems that apart from living a long life, I and ordinary cats are also Not a huge difference.But some things are so strange that even I can't explain it myself.For example, I can see ghosts, but I am not afraid of them at all, or it should be said the other way around, they are all very afraid of me, because their ghost skills are useless to me, but my claws can easily tear their souls Body, it makes me unhappy, and I can tear them up and swallow them, but they taste like broken cotton wool, neither sweet nor salty, no taste, no feeling, uh...except after eating I have a poor appetite for a day or two, I can’t eat anything delicious, and my farts will become particularly smelly, so I actually don’t like eating them at all.
"elder sister!"
"Sister Yuan!"
A ball of black mist was hooked by the claws, and it was torn out from the back of Concubine Yuan like a ball of sticky wet cotton. Concubine Yuan passed out before she could even utter a scream.
"She's fine, but she's a little weak. She will wake up in a while. Turn her head to bask in the moon more, and breathe in more yin energy by the side of Yingyue Pool. She should be able to recover in ten or eight years." Zhen looked at the tip of the claw. I don't know where to throw that cloud of black mist, because it is too smelly, and this thing has the power of devouring souls, people like Concubine Yuan, Chen Jin, and Li Lian'er are not allowed to touch it.After thinking about it for a long time, I ran towards Yingyue Pond. Although the pool was frozen, in order not to suffocate all the fish in the pool, some palace officials dug some holes the size of human heads in the ice for the fish at the bottom. Float to breathe.Running all the way, I pinched the black mist all the way, and when I ran to the nearest ice hole, the black mist had been squeezed into the size of a pill by me, and I threw it into the hole casually, It happened that a big fish came over to breathe. Seeing something thrown into it, no matter what it was, it opened its mouth and swallowed it.
The fish that had swallowed the stinky balls seemed to be choked up. It raised its head and stared at me on the surface of the water, refusing to leave. I had no choice but to swing my paw and push its head back into the water, "Okay, okay, Don't stare at me, you have lived in Yingyue Lake since you were a child, eating this stuff will at most give you a stomachache for two days, you won't die, don't worry, don't worry, ah!"
When she returned to Jinglan Court, Concubine Yuan had already woken up.
"Okay, tell me now, what's the matter with your injury."
"Actually, the concubine herself is still confused." Concubine Yuan frowned slightly, as if recalling what happened before——
"You know, the concubine usually doesn't like to go out, the right and wrong in this palace, the concubine has seen enough, and is not interested in anything. But three days ago, it was the memorial day of the concubine's family. Every year, the concubine would go to Waiting for Yuelin to light incense sticks and burn a few pieces of yellow paper for them, the concubine knew in her heart that they had been dead for hundreds of years, and I am afraid they had been reincarnated countless times. The concubine did this for peace of mind. .”
"However, that night when I first entered the forest, I felt that something was wrong. Immediately afterwards, I heard a strange digging sound. I was curious and went over to take a look. But before I looked carefully, I felt a cold wind blowing from behind. , just when I was about to turn around, I felt that I was grabbed by something, and then there was a heart-piercing pain. Your Majesty, the concubine has been dead for many years, and I almost forgot what it feels like to be hurt, but being caught by that thing However, Chenqie was in pain as if he was about to die. Chenqie knew that there was something weird behind him, so she didn't dare to entangle him too much. She tried her best to hit him back and fled back immediately. She has been staying in the palace for the past few days. Didn't go out again."
"Can you see what hurt you?"
Concubine Yuan shook her head slowly, "The concubine only saw a cloud of black mist."
I frowned, raised the tip of my tail, and walked back and forth on the table twice, "Then, have you seen the person who digs the hole clearly?"
"The concubine only looked at the outline, but didn't see his face, but it shouldn't be hard to find..." Concubine Yuan tried her best to recall the figure she saw when she had a quick glance that night.
