The way back to Beijing was not like when he and Concubine Jiang fled the capital with fear of being chased and killed. Su Jing sat comfortably in Song Li's carriage all the way, eating snacks and looking at the scenery outside.

After finding Su Jing, Song Li stayed with him in Shouzhou for a day, waited for the car that he was "assassinated" in Luzhou City, and found Concubine Jiang to return to Beijing together.

Although Song Li himself was safe and sound, his car driver did encounter an assassin.But everything seemed to be in his expectation, he had no loss, and all the assassins were killed.

Su Jing scratched her toes and wanted to know who sent the assassin.It must be the vicious Empress Dowager Gao, because the emperor died, she doubted this and that.I want to kill myself, I want to kill Concubine Jiang, and I want to kill those who shovel shit.

But since he started on the road, Song Li covered half of his face with a mask, saying that he was stabbed by an assassin.When Concubine Jiang asked who the assassin was, he said he had escaped.Concubine Jiang said she wanted to see how his injury was, but she was flatly rejected.

Su Jing thought about it carefully and felt very puzzled.The shit shoveler was fine when he slept with him last night, and he wasn't really assassinated, so why did he suddenly cover his face so that no one could see him.

"This child will learn to be shy when he grows up." Concubine Jiang smiled while eating melon seeds, "When I was a child, I would always come back and beg for a hug if I was scratched."

Song Li was embarrassed by Concubine Jiang's words, so he got out of the car and rode alone.

Su Jing lifted the curtain of the car and looked outside, only to see the horse shoveling shit was beside him, so she felt relieved.

Putting down the curtain, only Su Jing and Concubine Jiang were left in the carriage.

Concubine Jiang talked a lot when she was getting old, so she petted the little white cat while pulling Su Jing to talk about her past.

Starting from how she was selected into the palace from a commoner woman, she said how beautiful, gentle and virtuous she was, and was favored by the late emperor.

"Because I was the most beautiful girl in that class." Concubine Jiang said proudly as she stroked the little white cat.

"Then you were named a noble concubine?" Su Jing asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"Ha..." Concubine Jiang laughed, "Have you read too many story books, kid? How can it be so easy? Because I was the most beautiful in that class, I made an exception and became the queen's maid. It's now That, Empress Dowager Gao."

"Ahem." Su Jing choked on the melon seeds.

"You don't sound like a maid of honor?" Concubine Jiang said, "That's the empress's maid of honor. In fact, she is very powerful. Most people really dare not even think about it."

"Yeah." Su Jing nodded.

Then Concubine Jiang talked about how she attracted the late emperor's attention because of her beauty, and then she was favored to give birth to the prince.

"You don't know, the queen doesn't allow other people to have sons." Concubine Jiang lazily leaned against the wall of the car, and said calmly, "If someone else in the palace is pregnant, the child will definitely not survive. I'm the only one... It's also due to my tricks, there must be a lot of luck in it, and Li'er is also smart. Otherwise, alas!"

"Is there such a thing?" Su Jing's eyes widened in surprise, "If you are pregnant, you can't live? Empress Dowager Gao is like this, the late emperor doesn't care?"

"Who can compare to Empress Dowager Gao, her family has a great career, the late emperor could only turn a blind eye." Concubine Jiang said, "Let's just talk about the nobleman Guo, who was also a beautiful person."

"Yeah." Su Jing nodded, expressing that she was very happy to listen.

"She was favored by the late emperor and became pregnant with a dragon seed." Concubine Jiang deliberately lowered her voice, creating a terrifying atmosphere, "But the good times didn't last long, the child was born just after a lot of hard work... That night was dark and windy ..."

Like hearing a book, Su Jing was so happy that she almost didn't laugh.

"Guo Guiren saw a female ghost with disheveled hair, white clothes, bloody eyes, and her whole body was rotten..." Concubine Jiang said vividly, "She screamed horribly, and she wanted to hurt Guo Guiren's child. No matter what the nobleman is willing to do, he desperately wants to protect his own child and call people in."

Su Jing stared at Concubine Jiang closely, and asked, "What happened next?"

"Later, the female ghost ran away when she saw people coming. But Guo Guiren saw that her child's heart had been ripped out." Concubine Jiang continued to eat melon seeds, "Then Guo Guiren went crazy, and the late emperor sent him home. I went. Within a few days, I heard that she threw herself into the river. Since then, the upper river has been haunted by ghosts, and dozens of people died.”

"!" Su Jing was taken aback.I remember the first time he was taken to the river to play by the poop shoveler, he told himself that many people died on the river really strangely.There are also female ghosts, throwing into the river, digging out hearts... everything seems to be still in front of my eyes.All of this can't be as simple as a coincidence!

"Oh, this nobleman Guo is also pitiful." Concubine Jiang shook her head, not knowing what Su Shi was thinking, and said, "This kind of ghost with a lot of resentment is the most bloodthirsty and murderous. I heard people say that a If a person is born with hatred before death, if he wants to kill his family, he must turn into a ghost to take revenge. If he can’t kill his family, the ghost will keep killing people, and he will not be able to live in peace.”

The amount of information is a bit large, Su Jing thought for a while, organized his words, and then asked: "You mean, there is a female ghost in Shanghe, and she has to kill her hated enemy to survive? And this enemy is Empress Dowager Gao? "

"Oh, they're all rumors." Concubine Jiang smiled and shook her head, "When we were in the palace, a group of boring women threatened each other by hearsay. Do you really think there are ghosts in the world? No one has seen it yet. It’s over. Just listen to it, don’t be afraid.”

Su Jing nodded on the surface, but she was thinking in her heart: What you can't see doesn't mean it doesn't exist, I saw that female ghost with my own eyes!

"Xiao Su, come and listen to my story..."

Concubine Jiang talked a lot, pulling Su Jing to tell stories every day during the few days' journey.

Why didn't you find Concubine Jiang talking so much when you came here?Su Jing thought about it, she was fleeing when she came here, she was worried all day long and it was too late, so Concubine Jiang had nothing to say.But this time, with the excrement shoveler by her side, Concubine Jiang was not afraid, so her talkative nature was naturally exposed.

After listening to the stories for several days, the journey was not boring at all, and I returned to the capital in a blink of an eye.

When Su Jing listened to Concubine Jiang's storytelling, when she said she was tired, had a sip of tea and played with the cat for a while, she would lift the curtain to secretly look at the scenery outside.

The scenery of the capital seems to be the same, but Su Jing always feels that something is wrong.

Looking at the scenery in front of him and thinking about it carefully, Su Jing couldn't help being surprised.

After entering the capital, as long as you pass by, wherever there are roses planted, the flowers are all red!

It’s not surprising that everyone likes red flowers with more variety, but Su Jing always remembers the places that sell food very clearly. Just now, when I passed by several familiar restaurants and food stores, Su Jing remembered that there were white roses or pink roses planted at the entrance of the store. Yes, but the flowers are all blood red!

I haven't seen you for a few days, and the roses all over the city have turned red!it's wired!

The scene not long ago suddenly flashed in Su Jing's mind.At that time, I entered the palace for the first time, afraid of being recognized by shit shovelers, so I hid in the rose bushes.The rose flower held her back and asked herself if she could turn it red.

At that time, I didn't think there was anything wrong, now I look at the weird scene in front of me, and compare it with the events at that time, and the story Taifei Jiang told.Su Jing always felt that these things were inextricably linked.

It's just that I couldn't say anything for a while, and I couldn't start to find out.

"Can you see anything unusual?" Song Li reined in his horse and walked side by side with the cart, turning his head and asking Su Jing.

"Yeah." Su Jing nodded, raised her head and asked, "Why are all roses red?"
