Fuji [Four Beauties]

Chapter 20 Surprise

That's right, it's haunted.

In the past few days, in King Wu's palace, every night, there will be eerie ghost lights around the empress dowager's mourning hall.The will-o'-the-wisp was erratic, floating around, and everyone who saw it was terrified.For several days, there were will-o'-the-wisps around the mourning hall, which frightened everyone in the palace.

Fu Chai is a person who does not believe in ghosts and gods, and there is no such thing as reverence for ghosts and gods in his life creed.After the will-o'-the-wisp appeared in the palace, Fu Chai immediately asked people to strengthen the guards in the palace, and densely arranged guards around the empress dowager's mourning hall.

He wanted to see who was so bold and dared to play tricks in the palace.

However, the guards stayed in the Empress Dowager's mourning hall for several days.Except for the will-o'-the-wisp, he didn't even catch a suspicious shadow.The guards were also afraid, and every night, those will-o'-the-wisps would come out unexpectedly.They didn't dare to approach rashly, so they shot with arrows.The will-o'-the-wisp is like real fire, how could the arrow hit it?

As a result, the news of ghosts in the palace became more and more intense, and no one was not afraid.Fu Chai had to go into battle in person and stand beside the Empress Dowager's mourning hall.Then, he also saw the will-o'-the-wisps.This time, Fu Chai, who never believed in ghosts and gods, broke out in a cold sweat.He immediately summoned the Tai Bu who was in charge of divination overnight and asked him to go to the Empress Dowager's mourning hall to check.

Tai Bu went to the mourning hall to have a look, and his face turned pale with fright.These days, because of the ghosts in the palace, no one dares to approach the Empress Dowager's mourning hall.So no one dared to go in, and everyone didn't know what was going on inside.This time, Tai Bu came here by order, even if he didn't want to go in, it was impossible.If you don't go, you will definitely be thrown into prison by Fucha.For his own wealth and life, Tai Bu had no choice but to bravely go in.

If you don't go in, you don't know, and when you go in, you will be shocked.In the Empress Dowager's mourning hall, there are even more will-o'-the-wisps.Especially in the open space in the middle, a large piece of miserable green will-o'-the-wisps is turning up and down.Tai Bu was so frightened that he ran out of the mourning hall, and went to see Fu Chai with a pale face.

"What's going on? Tell me quickly!" Seeing Tai Bu coming back, Fu Chai asked immediately.

Tai Bu's feet were weak, and one of them couldn't stand, and suddenly fell to the ground.He trembled and said: "Go back to your lord, there is indeed a blue flame in the mourning hall."

"Nonsense, the widow has already seen it, the widow is asking you, what is that blue flame?"

"Back to the king, Wei and Weichen need a divination."

"Then go quickly." Hearing this answer, Fu Chai was a little impatient.

Tai Bu stumbled into divination.However, the result of the divination made him turn pale with shock, and the result showed that it was very bad.A series of blows made Tai Bu's face extremely pale.What he divination is not the will-o'-the-wisp in the palace, but his own destiny.Tai Bu knew better than anyone else that Fu Chai never believed in ghosts and gods, so he didn't value him very much.With Fucha's character, if he hears related words such as will-o'-the-wisps and haunted, he will definitely die.So, he made a divination for himself.Sure enough, if the truth is told, he must be in danger.

In the end how to do?

Tai Bu was in a hurry, and Fu Chai repeatedly sent people to urge him.If it drags on, I'm afraid it will be even more unbearable to walk around.So Tai Bu, who had nowhere to go, decided to tell a big lie.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, the results of the divination have come out. The blue flames appeared in the empress dowager's mourning hall, which is the manifestation of the empress dowager's soul. Her old soul wandered in front of the mourning hall. She must have something to let go, so she returned to the world from the sky."

"The queen's soul?"

"Yes."

"Such a ridiculous thing, do you think the widow would believe it?"

"Your Majesty calm down, my minister's words are true, I dare not speak falsely, please be careful, Your Majesty."

"You said it was the queen mother's soul, what evidence do you have?"

"Reporting to the king, I can see it from the hexagram."

"From the hexagrams, then you can do the calculation again in front of the widow, and the widow wants to see it."

Hearing this, Tai Bu's heart immediately lifted.He tried his best to restrain his fear, and boldly said: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the divination ceremony, since ancient times, can only be done by the divination person sincerely in a closed quiet room, no second person is present. There must be other people. When people are present, the hexagrams will be inaccurate.”

"How can the widow believe that what you calculated is true or false?"

"My Majesty, I have a method to prove that what I said is true. There are wizards who are good at summoning souls. They can summon the souls of the dead through the ritual of summoning souls, and talk to the souls. Now the Queen Mother's soul appears in the palace. , you can invite them to come and ask the queen mother for instructions, and see if she has anything else to tell us."

"A wizard from Chu State?"

"Yes, I have little talent and little knowledge, and I don't understand the ritual of summoning souls. You can only do it by inviting them."

After hearing these words, Fu Chai was skeptical.After thinking for a long time, he agreed to let people go to Chu.Seeing that Fu Chai agreed, Tai Bu finally let go of his hanging heart.Fortunately, he found an excuse in a critical juncture.It is true that there are wizards in Chu State, and it is true that they can summon souls.However, when they come, only God knows whether King Wu's palace can recruit the ghost of the Queen Mother.

In doing so, he just procrastinated for a while.From Wu State to Chu State, it will take at least a few months to go back and forth.No matter how the will-o'-the-wisps in the palace burn, they won't burn for a few months.At that time, the wizard of Chu State will come, even if he can't summon the soul.He can also say that the ghost of the Queen Mother and her old man has grown impatient and has gone back.Those wizards can't recruit souls, and they will echo their own opinions, and they will not tear each other down.At that time, even if I have passed this level.

Tai Bu talked nonsense in order to save his life, which made it easier for the instigator Song Ci.Those will-o'-the-wisps were naturally her fault.The so-called will-o'-the-wisps are nothing but white phosphorus.Before the empress dowager's mourning hall, Song Ci had already quietly left the white phosphorous that he carried with him there.Mrs. Goujian, who went into the mourning hall with Queen Wu, also had white phosphorus stuck to her body.

These white phosphorus were all collected by Song Ci in Yueguo Mountain.After her special treatment, it will be exposed to the air at different time points and burn automatically.The light from the burning of these white phosphorus is relatively weak, and it is very inconspicuous during the day.At night, it looks more obvious and more permeable.

Song Ci originally just wanted to haunt the palace of King Wu.Who knows, the haunted ghost has become the queen mother's apparition.In this way, it will be more conducive to her actions.

When the palace was haunted, Song Ci fell ill in the Yue embassy.

Of course, Song Ci was pretending. She was already a skilled worker in pretending to be sick.Only this time, she pretended to be special, not having a heart attack.Instead, like hysteria, the whole person fell on the bed, unconscious, talking nonsense all day long.In other words, as the saying goes, hit the evil.

There is a saying that you can't wake up a person who pretends to be asleep.Now, this sentence can be slightly changed and applied to Song Ci: there is no way to cure a person who pretends to be sick.

Song Ci fell ill, Mrs. Gou Jian was of course anxious.When Xi Shi was in Yue, she had been ill several times.Several times, the medical officer said that it was very dangerous, saying that she might not be able to survive.This time when she came to Wu, Mrs. Goujian was most worried about Xi Shi's health.I'm afraid that her old illness will relapse if she fails to accomplish her major event.This is really, what to be afraid of.

After Song Ci fell ill, Mrs. Goujian invited several doctors for her.But when they came, they all shook their heads, expressing that they were helpless.So Mrs. Goujian had nothing to do.He had no choice but to let Song Ci lie in bed every day, unconscious.Mrs. Goujian sent the two female officials beside her to take care of Song Ci.

When Song Ci was pretending to be sick, he would startle them with some words from time to time.When they came forward, they ignored it.Those ladies are human beings, and their energy is limited.Repeatedly tossing and tossing dozens of times a day, the two female officers were exhausted mentally and mentally, and even more sleepy at night.

After tossing and tossing for several days, the two female officials finally couldn't stand it anymore and reported to Mrs. Goujian.Mrs. Goujian also knew that it was not a problem for them to keep guarding like this.When she came to Wu this time, she only brought these two female officials with her, and they were her confidantes.If the two female officers were to be exhausted, she would be of no help.Mrs. Goujian had to let them take turns to take care of Song Ci.At night, go back to your room to rest.

This is what Song Ci wanted.Whenever it was a female officer's turn to take care of her, she would work so hard that the female officer was exhausted to death.At night, the two female officials went back to rest as if they were pardoned.Song Ci was recharging her energy. During the day, when she was tossing the female officer, she would do so in bursts.Get up and toss when you have enough sleep, and go back to sleep when you are not in the mood.Just like playing games before, play for a while, rest for a while, play for a while, rest for a while.

At one or two o'clock in the morning, Song Ci, who was full of energy, quietly got up because of the thunderous snoring of others.As long as it is dark and windy outside, she will quietly climb over the wall and go out.She painted herself with fluorescent powder that would glow at night.If anyone wandered the streets without sleeping most of the night and saw her, he would be frightened to death by a very permeating green light.

Song Ci sneaked out in the middle of the night, of course not for fun.Over the past few days, she has slowly figured out the conditions of the streets and alleys in Gusu City.She ran out to leave white phosphorous in the busiest place.Let these white phosphorus, like the white phosphorus in the palace, shine brightly at night.

Then, Song Ci took advantage of the night to visit the homes of several Wu officials.The first one, of course, was Tai Bu's house who was assisting Song Ci unintentionally.Since this guy is so good and has such a rich imagination.In order to thank her for providing him with good ideas, Song Ci wrote a few large characters with fluorescent powder at the door of his house.I believe that Tai Bu will get a surprise when he wakes up.

What is a surprise?No need to translate.Seeing the words on his door, the expression on Tai Bu's face has accurately interpreted what a surprise is.
