Emperor Ming Cheng drank a few glasses of wine and talked more.He regards Wan Yu as an ally with a common secret, so he can only talk to Wan Yu about many things that cannot be explained to outsiders.

He was not afraid of who Wan Yu would tell.Firstly, Wanyu's mouth is stricter than his, and secondly, Wanyu has no friends, so she has nothing to say.

"Oh, it's hard for me!" Emperor Mingcheng sighed, and pulled Wan Yu's cuff with his fingers, as if he wanted to wipe his tears with Wan Yu's big sleeve in a daze.

Wan Yu quickly pulled her sleeves back into her arms, and changed to a stool to sit far away from Emperor Ming Cheng.She knew that Emperor Ming Cheng was going to go crazy with alcohol again. He obviously had a surprisingly poor capacity for alcohol and had to drink. Whenever he was drunk, he would pester her to chat. From the unfortunate childhood neglected by the late emperor to the common people in the world who were tortured by natural disasters and man-made disasters.

"Queen Mother, why don't there are so many civil and military officials who sacrifice themselves for the people to share my worries? They are all blood-sucking insects!" Emperor Ming Cheng angrily knocked on the stone table, "Taxes go from the hands of the people to the treasury, they Layers of peeling. From the treasury to the hands of the people, they have to peel off layer by layer. I am in a dilemma for the deficit of more than 200 million taels. Who would not laugh at it? Daxing the country, can't spend 200 million taels to build river embankments... It's hard for me Ah! Difficult!"

The cries from Jingling Palace never stopped.

"Did you hear that, Queen Mother?" Emperor Ming Cheng asked dizzily.

"What?" Wan Yu asked perfunctorily.

"Crying." Emperor Ming Cheng poured another glass of wine and drank it.

Nonsense, she is not deaf.Wan Yu was a little confused, and she could truly feel the fear of the little eunuch through the sound of crying and crying.She hoped that Yao Xi would quickly find the painting, and regretted that she hid the painting too secretly. If she had known that the slave couldn't help being intimidated, she should have put it in a more prominent position.

"That's the cry of the common people!" Emperor Ming Cheng lamented. "I'm powerless to cry!"

Go away, what are the cries of the people?It was clearly the cry of Yao Xi's little eunuch.Wan Yu gave Emperor Ming Cheng a hard look, she was very drunk... She simply pushed the pot of wine in front of her to Emperor Ming Cheng: "Drink it if you want!" It's best to drink unconsciously, hurry up Go back to sleep in your own palace, don't nag her endlessly.

Now she wants Tang Huaili and others who are waiting outside to help Emperor Ming Cheng back, but she is worried that Emperor Ming Cheng is drunk and talking nonsense, and some eunuchs will hear some things that should not be said, so she wants to knock him out completely before killing him sent back.

Emperor Ming Cheng also babbled about his many difficulties, and Wan Yu listened boredly with her head propped up.

All her thoughts were on Jingling Palace.The little eunuch was frightened and cried again, and begged for mercy from the non-existent ghost girls. Hearing the movement, he had already walked to the west wing of the backyard.Alas, when will that little eunuch be able to find a job in painting!When will her suffering end!

Yao Xi desperately guarded the oil lamp in her hand. This oil lamp was the only light in her life and the source of all her courage at this moment.

The drum of the third watch has just sounded.At this moment, she was literally reincarnated in hell, from fleeing in fear to crying bitterly to kneeling down to beg for mercy.Her mind was tempered in the cycle of hell, and all the panic at this time turned into anger.

A white figure hangs from an old tree in the backyard, and the white figure is reflected in the water of the pond, like two ghosts.

Yao Xi carried the oil lamp and picked up the broom leaning against the courtyard wall.

"Come on! Come down if you have the ability! See if you ghosts who can only scare people are better, or the stick in my grandfather's hand!" Yao Xi aggressively waved his broom forward, fighting against the air, shouting non-stop : "Fly one and show me! Look at what you are capable of, if you are capable, go to heaven!"

Yao Xi completely lost her mind, her anger covered up the fear in her heart, but her shivering body and unstoppable tears clearly told her that she was afraid.It is because we cannot bear the fear that another emotion called anger arises in order to alleviate the fear in our hearts.

Wan Yu also heard the sound of Yao Xi beating and yelling alone.Obviously only the little eunuch was alone in Jingling Palace, yet he was able to make noises about thousands of troops. Without knowing it, he really thought he was fighting a fierce ghost bravely and fearlessly.In fact, he was just wrestling with the fear in his heart, and he couldn't beat the air.

Yao Xi went into a room and used a broom to open things to find paintings.She really couldn't move her hands, she couldn't put down either the lights or the weapons.

tick-

Yao Xi froze.

tick - tick -

There is a cool liquid dripping from the top of the head. The capital has been sunny these few days, so it cannot be the rain that has leaked.

Yao Xi didn't dare to think about it, let alone touch it with her hands, for she was afraid that the liquid would be red.His mouth also stopped, and he didn't dare to say any more cruel words to threaten the ghost, for fear of angering her, he would really show up and fight her desperately.

Those few drops of unknown liquid knocked Yao Xi back to hell after finally crawling up to the ground from hell, and the cycle of reincarnation began again.

Yao Xi felt a little nauseous, and suddenly felt uncomfortable in his stomach, making him feel overwhelmed.She sat on a stone bench under the old locust tree, staring hopelessly at the white figure hanging from the tree.Child time has passed, can ugly time be far behind?

I searched all over the front and back yards to find any paintings.Yao Xi suspects that this is just a joke played by the Empress Dowager, throwing her into the limbo to frighten her, and then executing her on the pretext that she did not find the painting.

From the moment she offended the empress dowager, she should have understood that she had no hope of surviving.

"Ghost Empress, do you know where the painting is?" Yao Xi looked at the hanged figure for a long time, but he didn't feel so scared anymore.I even thought this ghost lady was a little cute, hanging herself so high, she should have climbed a tree when she died.What a climb!Yao Xi seemed to be really crazy, and his focus became very strange.

Empress Yuzu naturally did not respond.

"Actually not at all, right? Because the empress dowager didn't intend to let me go from the very beginning." Yao Xi looked at the dark and silent cold palace, and suddenly the fear that made her life worse than death disappeared.Because she realized that she would soon become one of the ghosts, anyway, she would be of the same kind, so there was nothing to be afraid of.

Wan Yu laughed out loud when she heard Yao Xi ask the ghost about the whereabouts of the scroll.Hearing Yao Xi say that he had no intention of letting him go, he was a little displeased.

Wan Yu always thought that she was the most benevolent master, although there were many slaves who died in Ning'an Palace, only a few died at her hands.Take the little eunuch named Yao Xi in Jingling Palace as an example. Some bad-tempered masters in the palace would have killed him long ago.

The little eunuch also murmured something to the "Ghost Empress", but Wan Yu didn't hear clearly, and Emperor Ming Cheng poured bitter water on her again.Emperor Ming Cheng said that he wanted to chat with her for a while, but he actually complained to her.

People in their thirties still cry easily after drinking.The handkerchief was stained by Emperor Ming Cheng wiping wine before, Wan Yu had no choice but to walk to Emperor Ming Cheng with his sleeves to wipe away his tears. "Why are you crying so hard?" Wan Yu's tone was much gentler. Only when Emperor Ming Cheng vomited bitterness to her when he was drunk, did she really feel like a mother.

"Gan'er, call your mother and listen later." Wan Yu took advantage of Ming Chengdi's advantage.Longyi would never call her queen mother, no matter how sweet the empress Zhu's name was, it would be obsequious and vicious. Most people in the world were afraid that she would hate her, but only the emperor was sincerely grateful to her. "Do you?" Wan Yu slapped Emperor Ming Cheng's face vigorously: "Be obedient. Call me Queen Mother."

Emperor Ming Cheng was so drunk that he lay on the table and called out in a daze, "Mother Concubine..."

Wan Yu's heart ached.The emperor misses the concubine!The biological mother is the biological mother after all, even if she is drunk and sleepy, she only recognizes the concubine as her mother in her dream.Wan Yu took the brocade quilt hanging from the railing of the pavilion and covered it for Emperor Ming Cheng, and patted him on the back lightly.

"The emperor is drunk, send him back to the palace to rest!" Wan Yu called Tang Huaili and ordered.

Yao Xi didn't want to look any further, she firmly believed that there were no paintings with red tassels tied in Jingling Palace.The oil lamp in his hand was also burned out, so Yao Xi threw away the lamp and the broom, and walked out in a daze.

Hanging ghosts, eerie bells, wet heads...

All of this no longer frightened Yao Xi, her whole body seemed to have been reborn, and she walked slowly outside the palace without any fear.The soft ground at the door still caused Yao Xi to almost fall, but this time she didn't panic and reached out to hold the door on the left.

The palm has a strange sense of touch.

It's a thread and a wooden scroll.

Yao Xi looked behind the door, and vaguely saw a scroll of paintings hanging there, with red tassels wrapped around the scroll.She was not ecstatic, but suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness.

The painting is always here?Just hanging at the door?

What has she experienced this night!Yao Xi hugged the scroll tightly in grievance.The painting was behind the door, so she couldn't see it when she pushed the door and walked in. If it wasn't for the fall just now, she wouldn't be able to find it if she walked out the door.She completely convinced the Empress Dowager Wan, that master's way of torturing people is really powerful.

It gives you hope, then makes you despair, and when the answer is finally revealed, it makes you feel that all the previous struggles were in vain.Yao Xi dragged his exhausted body towards Ning'an Palace, as long as the empress dowager kept her word and returned to her life with the painting before three quarters of the ugly time, she would be able to return to the Siyuan Bureau, and she would have nothing to do with Ning'an Palace from then on.

Yao Xi was still thinking about going to Xu Meiren's side to serve him, so he asked Zheng Dayun to go to the inner prison to speak, and then asked Aunt Han Qiu to speak kindly in front of Xu Meiren, and it might work.

The eunuch who was relaxing near Jingling Palace saw that Yao Xi had left the palace gate, so he hurried to Guanhe Pavilion to reply to Xianqian.

Xianqian entered the pavilion and reported back: "Madam, Yao Xi has come out. Holding the painting."

"Take another route back to Ning'an Palace." Wan Yu stood up holding Xianqian's hand, feeling a little tired after sitting for a long time.She was relieved, since the little eunuch had found the painting, she could naturally let him go.In the bottom of her heart, she even felt a little guilty for the little eunuch. The wailing in Jingling Palace tonight was much worse than that in the prison of the Ministry of Punishment.Several times, she felt that the little eunuch was scared to death there, but she could hear the movement again after a while.

Wan Yu took a short cut and went back to the palace. She had better clothes when she arrived at Ning'an Palace, and Yao Xi hadn't arrived yet.

"Send someone to see if he died on the way or got lost again." Wan Yu was worried that Yao Xi was late.The agreed ugly time is three quarters, and after the hour, no one has reached the Ning'an Palace. In front of so many people, she will not renege on her promise to spare the little eunuch's life.
