The little eunuch gl of the demon queen

It was only three quarters you when Yao Xi arrived at Jingling Palace.The sun has not yet set, and the desolate and desolate Jingling Palace is shining with golden light in the afterglow of the setting sun. From a distance, it does not look like a cold palace, but a holy temple for people to worship.Those horror legends about the Leng Gong that were circulated in the palace were also driven away by the burning eyes.

There was a eunuch from Ning'an Palace standing at the door. When the eunuch saw Yao Xi coming, he greeted Yao Xi with a smile, "Why did you come so early? Isn't it time for duty?"

Yao Xi also walked over with a smile: "I'm afraid I'll get lost again and miss the hour. Father-in-law is also on duty here tonight?" Yao Xi felt relieved when she saw that someone was with her. She was timid and afraid of the dark.The long night is not so difficult when there is someone on the errands to strengthen each other.

"The Empress Dowager has a decree for Eunuch Yao, and ordered me to wait here." The eunuch cleared his throat and said to Yao Xi, "The Empress Dowager has hidden a picture scroll with red tassels tied up in Jingling Palace. If I found the painting before, I asked my father-in-law to return to the Siyuan Bureau to work. If I can't find it after a while, my father-in-law's life will be lost."

Yao Xi hastily knelt down to accept the order.I thought it was an ordinary night watch in the cold palace, but why did it suddenly become a treasure hunt?Fortunately, Jingling Palace is not big, with only about [-] rooms in total, let alone painting scrolls in the middle of the night, even finding a needle is not difficult.

Yao Xi thanked the decree and got up to open the door to go in.She wanted to find the picture scroll and go to Ning'an Palace while it was still bright, so as not to stay in Jingling Palace all night in fear.Jingling Palace is a very evil place, it's so cold that it's so cold that it makes people get goosebumps.

The eunuch guarded the gate firmly, stretched out his hand to stop Yao Xi and said, "You can only enter at Haishi, Eunuch Yao, please stay calm."

Seeing the sky darken, Yao Xi's heart began to beat.This Jingling Palace is the place where the most people died in the entire palace. It looked fine under the sun during the day, but at night, it seemed that unclean things came out of every corner, making people feel chills down their backs.

From Haishi to Choushi three quarters, it takes less than three hours to fully count.The empress dowager would definitely not put the painting in a place where it can be seen at a glance, maybe buried in the ground, maybe hung on the beam, maybe hidden in a water tank, maybe sewn into the quilt?This is not a fight for intelligence, but a fight for physical strength!If the painting is placed on the roof, she will be sentenced to death, and she will not do light work, even if she knows that the painting is on the roof, she will not be able to reach it!

Yao Xi took out a bag of exquisite snacks from his cuff, which was sent by Zheng Dayun to the Siyuan Bureau, in case she would be hungry when she was on duty at night.Yao Xi wanted to ask the eunuch of Ning'an Palace about the whereabouts of the picture scroll, so he handed over the snacks: "I hope my father-in-law will order some smaller ones. I wonder if the picture scroll is in the front yard or the back yard?" As long as the eunuch told her it was the front yard Or the backyard, half of the area can be ruled out at once.

The eunuch guarding the gate squinted at the bag of dim sum in Yao Xi's hand. It was exquisite, but it was not something ordinary slaves could eat.But he is from Ning'an Palace anyway, even if he can't serve the Empress Dowager, a servant is more expensive than the master, and his status is much higher than the maids and eunuchs in other palaces.He has seen and eaten a lot of good things in Ning'an Palace, not to mention a pack of snacks, even a pack of small yellow croakers would not tempt him.

Besides, the picture scroll was hidden by Aunt Yuanqian at the order of the Empress Dowager, and no one except the Empress Dowager and Aunt Yuanqian knew where it was.

"Eunuch Yao will know as soon as he looks for it." The eunuch guarding the gate sullenly didn't look at Yao Xi again.

"Will father-in-law leave when Haishi comes?" Yao Xi asked uneasily.Right now, looking for paintings is still the second priority, and the darker the sky, the more frightened she feels. She heard that there are many abolished concubines living in the cold palace, but she stood at the door for a long time, and did not hear the slightest human voice.

The eunuch smiled strangely: "That's natural."

Standing stupidly at the door for a long time, the drum of the second watch came from a distance.

"Dele! It's Hai time! Eunuch, please!" The eunuch smiled at Yao Xi, and hurriedly left Jingling Palace.

Before Yao Xi could react, she was the only one left in front of the dark and deserted palace gate.

***

Wan Yu sat in the lotus pavilion next to Jingling Palace. There were many mosquitoes and insects near the lake. Light veils were hung around the pavilion, and candied fruit, fragrant tea, snacks, and fermented rice were placed on the table.

"Is this the second watch?" Wan Yu also heard the sound of the watch drum, and the tiredness on his face due to the upside-down of day and night disappeared in an instant.Just like people sitting in front of the stage, listening to the sound of gongs and drums, they are all refreshed. The sound of gongs and drums means that the good show is about to start, and the actors are about to take the stage.

It's just that tonight I don't want to listen to famous opera actors singing, but to listen to Yao Xi's little eunuch screaming.It's a pity that Wan Yu doesn't have an infrared camera, so she can only listen to the movement, but can't see the real scene.

"Why is there no sound? The slave will not be late again, right?" Wan Yu listened to the movement of Jingling Palace with great interest, and waited for a while, but there was no sound.

"The little eunuch who delivered the decree came back and said that Yao Xi arrived at Jingling Palace very early." Xian Qian poured a cup of fragrant tea for Wan Yu.

Wan Yu was wondering why there was still no movement, when a wailing sound came from Jingling Palace.

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

There was not even a lantern at the door, and the Queen Mother only gave her three hours. After the eunuchs of Ning'an Palace left, Yao Xi hesitated for a long time, but bravely pushed open the door of Jingling Palace.Oil lamps were lit in Jingling Palace, although the light was dim, it was much better than the darkness outside the palace gate.Just as Yao Xi relaxed his vigilance and strode in, his feet suddenly softened, and his feet sank into a soft mass...

It was a creepy feeling, her feet were suddenly wrapped completely, as if two hands with fur gloves were tightly grasping her ankles.Just when Yao Xixi was not overwhelmed and was daring to use the oil lamp on the stone wall at the door to see what the pile of soft things was, the oil lamp suddenly went out!

Yao Xi's little heart skipped a beat.

Then something even weirder happened. There were two rows of stone lanterns along the way from the entrance to the main hall of Jingling Palace. The faint light in the stone lanterns was gradually extinguishing. From the outside to the inside, it seemed that a mysterious force was guiding her in. Walk.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yao Xi screamed and got up from the ground, and rushed towards the bright light in the house before the stone lamp in the yard was completely extinguished.Horror stories about the cold palace that I heard from the old eunuch emerged one after another, and Yao Xi was about to go crazy. As an atheist, she was shaken in the face of all kinds of weird phenomena.

that painting!Yao Xi pushed open the door of the main hall, intending to quickly find the life-saving painting and escape from this ghostly place.

Jingle bell--

Suddenly a series of bells rang, Yao Xi just pushed the door, but didn't touch anything.She didn't touch the bell, could it be...

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhly

"Ahhhhhh..." She stepped on the soft ground at the door again.

Yao Xi kneeled in front of the palace gate with his legs limp, sobbing softly while looking at the lights of other palaces in the dark, his face covered with cold tears.How could the Empress Dowager be so kind, how could it be possible! ! !Yao Xi cried and curled up on the ground, there were two choices before her.

Choose to die—leave the haunted Jingling Palace immediately, and let the Queen Mother take care of her.

Choose life is better than death——and then go back and look for the broken painting.

"That's right." Wan Yu smiled and took a sip of the fragrant tea. She heard the bell and knew that Yao Xi had just opened the main hall door.Poor little eunuch, he still has a long way to go!

"Your Majesty, the Emperor is here." Yuan Qian suddenly bent down and whispered in Wan Yu's ear.

Wan Yu's expression changed.What is the emperor here to spoil the fun at this time?When she looked back, Emperor Ming Cheng had already entered the pavilion.

"I went to Ning'an Palace twice today, and the Empress Dowager is not here." Emperor Ming Cheng walked into the pavilion and sat down in front of Wan Yu, waved away the palace people of Ning'an Palace.Tang Huaili, the chief eunuch next to Emperor Ming Cheng, knew well that the Empress Dowager didn't like eunuchs, so he also led his subordinates to wait outside the gauze tent tactfully.

"What's the matter?" Wan Yu gave Emperor Ming Cheng a white look. "I'll talk about things tomorrow, Ai's family is busy and don't have time to gossip with the emperor."

"The empress seems to have no intention of offending the empress dowager today?" Emperor Ming Cheng was used to Wan Yu's arrogant attitude, so he was not annoyed.

"Unintentionally? That's not necessarily the case." Wan Yu had to pay attention to the movement of Jingling Palace while talking with Emperor Ming Cheng. She ordered people to prepare for half a day just to hear this news.I don't know what Yao Xi was doing at this time, he screamed a few times and then fell silent again.Are you scared to death?

"Whether it's intentional or not, the Queen Mother is for my sake, so don't argue with her!" Emperor Ming Cheng was not entirely worried about what would happen to Queen Zhu. Easily killed.What he was afraid of was that Wan Yu would cause something bigger than human life in order to avenge the Zhu family.

Wan Yu laughed and said: "The Ai family didn't know that the emperor and the empress are so affectionate as husband and wife."

"No matter how bad the queen is, she is still Xin'er's mother queen. Besides, the queen still calls the queen mother mother queen, isn't she?" Emperor Ming Cheng persuaded with kind words.He never called Empress Wan's concubine, and he really couldn't say it to a girl who was much younger than himself.

"It's okay if you don't say Xin'er. The Ai family doesn't look like your child." Wan Yu said lightly.

Emperor Ming Cheng was born handsome, but the second prince, Feng Xin, looked like a tiger, not like the Zhu family, and even less like Emperor Ming Cheng.It is not that there are rumors in the palace that the second prince is not from Emperor Ming Cheng, but it concerns the reputation of the Empress Empress and the face of the royal lineage, guesses are just guesses, no one dares to hold their heads and talk nonsense.

Now that there is no one else in the pavilion, Wan Yu doesn't have so many scruples.She saw that Feng Xin really didn't look like Emperor Cheng of Ming Dynasty, Feng Xin was also a young man in his teens, and the older he got, the more barbaric his appearance was, not like an emperor's heir, but more like a bandit.

"Wan Yu!" Emperor Ming Cheng became angry at this moment: "It's nothing more than groundless rumors that the slaves spread, but you also follow the nonsense? So what if Xin'er is not like me? But every son of heaven is a son and daughter of the three palaces and six gardens. Qun, there are so many princes and princesses, don’t they all look the same? Speaking of which, I don’t look like the late emperor, so I wasn’t born by the late emperor either?”

Wan Yuxiu raised her eyebrows, and said with an evil smile: "If the emperor is worried, he can send someone to check his life experience, maybe there will be surprises?"

"I see you are really crazy." Emperor Ming Cheng was too angry to speak.If this kind of joke that hurt the concubine's reputation came from someone else, it would be difficult for Zhu Jiuzu to explain the anger in Emperor Mingcheng's heart.It's a pity that it was Wan Yu who said this, and he was used to Wan Yu's unrestrained speech.Everyone thought that he endured Wan Yu because of the late emperor's will, but it was not, even if there was no will, he would not hurt Wan Yu.

Everyone in the world knew that the empress dowager was a demon queen, but only Emperor Ming Cheng knew that if it weren't for Wan Yu, his throne might not be secure.Many things that Wan Yu looks lawless to outsiders are actually done for him. He wants to be a virtuous king in front of people, but someone has to do things that offend others, and Wan Yu has done those things for him.

So he became a virtuous king, and Wan Yu became a demon queen.

Start with the matter of the beheading officer.Wan Yu killed the censor not because the censor read Wan Yu's book in front of him, but because he wanted to stand up for him.At that time, he had just ascended the throne, and the official censor tried to use the power of admonition to seek personal gain for himself, and he dared to say anything without beheading the official.Wan Yu directly raised his sword and rushed into the court hall to kill the unscrupulous person. After that, all civil and military officials seemed to have a sword hanging above their heads, and they did not dare to do anything easily.

On the night Wan Yu beheaded the Yanguan, Emperor Ming Cheng went to Ning'an Palace to meet Wan Yu and asked her why she risked the world's displeasure by killing treacherous ministers.

Wan Yu said: "The reputation of Ai's family will be ruined if you enter the palace. You can simply ruin it to the end. In the future, Ai's family will do things for you that embarrass the emperor. It can also be regarded as repaying the late emperor for his many years of care."

"The empress's affairs, the Ai family has its own measure." Wan Yu also felt that she had gone crazy just now, she teased the emperor that it's okay, she really shouldn't get involved with the deceased concubine.So he said seriously: "It's time for the Zhu family to beat and beat."
