Chapter 18 Pretending to be a ghost

The author has something to say: The author has something to say: Everyone, Happy Lantern Festival!

Zhen Huan came to me with Huanbi early in the morning of the second day, and the words she apologized for were roughly similar to what I told Meizhuang yesterday. She wanted to talk to me more, but I didn't cooperate, and rushed to the queen There, it can be regarded as a disguised rejection of her request for a long talk.I escaped this task, but I couldn't avoid the Empress Dowager's. I don't want to tell the Empress Dowager what happened yesterday, but if the Empress Dowager really asks, I can't do it.With this in mind, I basically went to Shoukang Palace.

But the Queen Mother didn't ask me what happened yesterday, so I was worrying in vain, but it turned out that I was relieved too early.

"Girl, what do you think about Yu's poisoning?"

I don't know why the queen mother asked this question, but I know something in comparison, "The concubine just finds it strange that since Mrs. Yu was demoted, life is not going well, and she can still do such a thing. You did it so cautiously." I didn't hide it, because if I did, I would be guilty of deception in vain.

"You are smart, and you know that nobleman Guan also knows about it. It is really absurd to use poison in the harem, so you help nobleman Guan find out who the real person is, and the Ai family also wants to know who is so bold."

"The concubine takes orders." I thought the queen mother didn't like to join in the harem battle, but she didn't want to...

It's not easy to speculate about the people behind this scene. There is a high probability that it is Concubine Hua, but there is no evidence.I know this, how could the Queen Mother not know, the Queen Mother asked me to help Zhen Huan, is it because she wants to punish Concubine Hua?But the Nian family is still powerful, even if it is confirmed that Concubine Hua poisoned her, Concubine Hua will not be severely punished, and that young man, if I really help Zhen Huan, what kind of disaster will happen?

In the afternoon, I went back to my palace, thinking about how to help Zhen Huan, and the queen mother was very satisfied when she saw that I took her words to heart, she smiled and said to Zhu Xi, "Rong'er is smart, but she has never been so smart. I used it, Ai Jia wanted to know what would happen if she moved her mind?"

"Knowing people is the only way to employ them, and the queen mother is thoughtful." Zhu Xi echoed.

"If it weren't for the queen..." the queen mother sighed, "Why bother to let Qingfu not think about it, and take precautions everywhere."

"The empress will know the empress dowager's painstaking efforts, and she will definitely understand."

"hope so."

······

I put it into the palace gate, and saw Cuisi happily coming to welcome me, and said to me before I could stand still, "My lord, your letter from home is here!"

letter from home?Is it Abby Huai?

I wasn't as happy as Cuicai at all, I just took the letter on the table, looked at the letter paper that was easy to see at a glance, and the strange handwriting, it wasn't written by An Bihuai, it was completely unknown to me handwriting!I held the letter up to my nose and sniffed it. I didn’t know the reason for the unique smell of ink before, but since entering the palace, I can somewhat understand the difference between high-quality ink and inferior ink. Mo'an Bihuai may have it, but he would never use it to write me a letter.

Seeing me carefully reviewing a letter from home, Cuisi next to me didn't open it for a long time, and there was no surprise as she imagined, so she asked suspiciously, "My lord, what's the matter?"

"When did this book get delivered, and who sent it?" I asked her softly. Although the little girl was still puzzled, she knew that I didn't want to answer, so she didn't ask, and answered honestly, "Not long ago it was a book. The father-in-law called Xiao Lizi sent it, and the father-in-law also said that he was the one who brought the young master into the palace before."

"That's what he said?" Little Li, I almost forgot about this person.

"That's right, the father-in-law is also teasing, and it's been a long time to talk about it. Could it be that seeing the young master has become a noble person, he wants to get rich?"

"You girl, you just have a poor mouth." Cuisi's cuteness has always been my favorite, "I haven't had lunch yet, but I'm hungry now, go get me something to eat."

"Okay, I'll go right away." Hearing that I was hungry, Cui Si immediately hurried to the small kitchen, so cute.

I put my mind on the letter again. I opened the letter, but found that the content was very simple. There were only two sentences written on the tactile rice paper. There is no other reason, because these two sentences were corrected by mistake. Although they have been erased, they can still be seen clearly, but the content is the same as the written two sentences in terms of meaning. .Such a simple letter looks like my mother's style, and the way the letter paper is folded is not neat but has clear creases. This letter must have been written by my mother herself. This must have been done on purpose by my mother, and my mother can If you send such a revised and revised letter, the person who wrote the letter will definitely not be An Bihuai, and An Bihuai dare not let outsiders write to know about his doting on his concubine and killing his wife, but mother has the ability to send such a letter. Writing a letter means that Anfu must have undergone major changes, and An Bihuai must have lost the ability to restrain her mother. This can be seen from the fact that my mother asked someone I have never met to write a letter.But why did the mother's situation change like this?

By the way, it was Xiao Lizi who delivered the letter, it was sent by young master's people in the palace.That is to say, the young master sent someone to my house, and now he intends to disclose this news to me, otherwise he would not let Xiao Lizi deliver the letter, and he also used Cuicai to emphasize Xiao Lizi's identity.

And my mother, let me rest assured, don't worry about her.My mother must know that I have become someone else's hostage to hold me back, so I tried my best to contact me, and my mother told me not to worry about it, so I must have a coping strategy, but will this coping strategy hurt me? I don't know her.

One side is the setter and the other side is the close relative, what should I do?Even after listening to the young man, my mother may not be considerate. From the very beginning, the young man never thought that I could really help Concubine Hua. If I submit to him now for the sake of my mother, it is not a complete solution, it is better... ···

Help Zhen Huan expose Concubine Hua, and then tell the young man that I, An Lingrong, am not just pretending.In this way, I may be able to... keep my mother.

Now that you've made up your mind to pay attention, you can't dawdle.After lunch, I went to Suiyuxuan, which surprised Zhen Huan.

Later, Meizhuang also came, and the three of us chatted happily as if we had just entered the palace, but the sisterhood was always less pure and more intentional.My happiness is to take advantage, Zhen Huan's joy is to make up for it, and Mei Zhuang's smile hides worry. The sisterhood between the two is difficult to manage, and the three of them are even worse.

In a conversation, each with their own calculations, the final result is not the burying of the past between the sisters, but the decision to play tricks, lure the snake out of the hole, and the increasingly solid defense.Zhen Huan's mentality is definitely not inferior to mine. Such a person will be a difficult opponent for anyone.And I have a hunch that one day she and I will stand on opposite sides.At that time, who will Mei Zhuang choose?If we look at it now, even if Mei Zhuang hesitates, he will choose Zhen Huan in the end.The woman who has grown up with her in love.I don't like this result, I don't like it so much that I don't mind doing anything to change it.I don't want to lose that dignified and gentle sister.

A dark and windy night is not only a good time to kill people.On such a night, Mei Zhuang and I both accompanied Zhen Huan, who was a little restless and hurt her body recently, but being ill is just a way to confuse the enemy.Seeing a little Yunzi in a white gauze dress with disheveled hair, I took off the armor in my hand and started my work in this scene.

As a result, the white powder that Ju Qing handed over, "Close your eyes," Xiao Yunzi who was still excited and rolled her eyes obediently closed her eyes, I touched the warm face of my hand, and did not have any scruples for Xiao Yunzi Add the color of the dead.The fine black charcoal traced slowly, with a demon, outlining the upturned corners of the eyes, showing coldness, "Xiao Yunzi is not feminine enough, so I modified him a bit, just to make it look like the real one."

A bowl of red liquid with a strong fishy smell, "Mr. An, this is the chicken blood you want."

I was about to touch it with my finger, but was stopped by Zhen Huan, "Sister, it's against the rules to let you do it yourself, you can't touch these things anymore." I looked at Meizhuang, and she also disapproved of me. Do it like this, "Yes, Xiao Yunzi looks a lot like this, so don't touch those." Yes, I don't need to do it myself, but it's not enough to provide the information that Concubine Li is most afraid of ghosts and gods, I need to do it again Do something to remind you.

"It's because I was thinking too much, but I just think that if I add some red on the corner of the mouth, it will be more confusing." I smiled, and since they minded, I didn't do it.

Zhen Huan held my hand that hadn't been washed, and didn't mind in the slightest. I was a little embarrassed, and quickly withdrew my hand, "What are you doing, sister, dirty your hands for nothing."

"My sister made me sad when she said that. If it's dirty, it's dirty. Why do sisters care?"

"I don't mind, I just feel sorry for the extra water." I joked, "Okay, everything is ready now, the only thing I owe is Dongfeng."

Yeah, it's time to sing.Seeing the understanding Xiao Yunzi go out, the three of us looked at each other and smiled.

The following night, the nobleman of Fucha, who was chanting scriptures and praying for the queen in Baohua Palace, saw something unclean on the way back, and was so frightened that he lost his mind.

The eunuch who was on shift because of his post occasionally saw a white shadow drifting by.

The maid who was ordered to go out heard the woman crying from time to time.

The loose black hair covered most of his face, but couldn't hide the frightening whiteness.There was reluctance in Yaoleng's eyes, and the outstretched hand was pale and full of cracks, bloodshot, wanting to drag the living to death.It was said that it was Yu Shi's ghost, and Yu Shi didn't want to die with peace in his eyes, so he acted as a ghost to take revenge.However, this is Yu's ghost, especially the ghost in the hearts of the people in the palace.

A bold person can face the ghosts in his heart calmly, but a stern person can't stand even the slightest fright.Concubine Li was the one who was so frightened that she started to talk about everything, and even said that Concubine Hua ordered Mrs. Yu to poison her. Such a statement, which is not true or not, has won the hearts of many people.

It was rare for the queen to be stern to Concubine Hua directly, and with the support of Zhen Huan and us concubines, I brought Concubine Li back to Jingren Palace. I looked at Concubine Hua who was suppressing her anger, and thought in my heart that it was time to see the Queen Mother.

The queen mother rinsed her mouth under my service, took the handkerchief I handed over and wiped the corners of her mouth, looked at me and said, "The Ai family knows all about these days, there will be troubles in the palace, but ghosts and gods are still taboo." It's very good." The queen mother stared at me straight in the eyes, as if to say, you should have other ways, why bother to play tricks and add bad luck to the palace.

"The courtiers and concubines are dull, and this is the only way I can think of."

"Oh, how do you say it?" There was no wave in the Queen Mother's eyes, and I felt a little depressed.

After thinking about it for a long time, I finally decided to tell the truth. I don’t want to lie to the old man in front of me, and I dare not lie. "After listening to my words, the Empress Dowager's eyes flashed brightly and conspicuously, and she was extremely cold, "With such a result, I will neither kill by mistake nor let it go." The matter can still be controlled in the end, It all depends on which side the decision maker intends to punish and which side to comfort.

"Rong'er, you are really smart." I thought that this girl could do this well, and not do it absolutely, but I didn't want her to see it so clearly.This time, she didn't intend to really touch Concubine Hua. If the girl did it too well, it would be difficult to finish it.I always knew that the girl was smart, but I didn't want to be so smart. I thought that for the first time, she wouldn't do such a good job. After all, I looked down on her.

······

"Queen Dowager, Mrs. Angui has gone back," Zhu Xi whispered to the Queen Mother who closed her eyes and meditated, "Does the Queen Mother want to see the Queen today?"

"The empress is busy, so there is no need." People who are too smart are very useful, and the empress... Aijia should spend more time.
