Stand-in beauty favors the Sixth Palace

What are you going to do?

Lingyin was stunned, and was so frightened that he couldn't speak clearly, "Master, it's okay to come and see during the day, why, why bother to go and see at night, master, let's go back quickly..."

Chu Qing refused, "No, just go now. I'm being stared at everywhere during the day, how can I have a chance to come here? Go back by yourself, and I'll take a look."

"Ah?" Lingyin swallowed, "Who, who is staring at you?"

"Whoever she is." Chu Qing didn't say her name, carefully discerned the direction of the voice, and walked over slowly.

"Master..." Lingyin looked behind him, there was a lampstand placed about ten feet apart on the dark palace road, emitting an indistinct light, and the place that was not visible in the distance looked like a big mouth.

Even if the master told her to go back, she didn't dare to leave. If she got lost and went to other places, she wouldn't even be able to cry.Now at least there is a master together.

Lingyin stomped her feet, and quickly followed Chu Qing, not daring to move away from him at all, and followed behind him.

The further you walk into the palace road, the more dilapidated the buildings are, the palace walls are mottled, and the red paint is falling off. It is hard to believe that there is such a dilapidated place in the bustling Chu Palace.

Chu Qing stood still in front of the palace gate and looked up. The plaque had been removed, and the red paint on the palace gate was mottled. Although he didn't know what palace it was before, it was undoubtedly a cold palace now.

"Master, look and see, let's go..." Lingyin stood behind him, really scared.

"What am I afraid of?"

As Chu Qing said, he approached the palace gate and carefully pushed it open.

The palace gate has been in disrepair for a long time, and when Chu Qing pushed it lightly, it creaked, and the small sound seemed very abrupt in the silent middle of the night.

Chu Qing opened the door and didn't notice anything. Lingyin stood behind him, and hurriedly approached Chu Qing in fright. She was pressed against Chu Qing's heels, and her teeth were chattering.

Chu Qing approached the opened door and looked in with one eye.

The cold palace is desolate, the courtyard is overgrown with weeds, the trees are untrimmed, some branches are strewn about, some are dead, and the dry branches are like monsters with teeth and claws in the dark night.

Chu Qing glanced over the rest of the place, the main hall was in a mess, half of the gate had fallen off, and it was too dark inside, so it was hard to see what was going on.

What about that person?I'm still singing nursery rhymes in the middle of the night, so I'm still asleep, right?

Chu Qing searched the corners of the cold palace, looking for the figure of the mad woman that Gong'e said, and looked around for a few times, but there was no figure.

What can be seen through the door gap is always limited, Chu Qing pressed his palm against the palace door, and was about to push it open with all his strength, when suddenly something blurred in front of him, as if something was passing by.

Chu Qing leaned against the crack of the door again and looked in, when a tired eye full of bloodshot eyes suddenly appeared, and looked at him through the crack of the door.

Chu Qing's heart skipped a beat, and she took a step back abruptly.

Startled by his sudden movement, Lingyin instinctively looked towards the crack of the door, which could be regarded as stabbing a hornet's nest.

"Clang-crack-"

"Ah—! Ah———!"

The sound of the soup cup breaking and Lingyin's scream sounded one after another. Lingyin pointed at the crack of the door with one hand tremblingly, covered her mouth with the other, and couldn't help screaming while looking at Chu Qing.

The person in the crack of the door seemed to have seen something interesting, pointed at the person like a bell, and started screaming, "Ah——! Ah————!"

The mad woman's screams were occasionally mixed with two laughs, which sounded dark and terrifying.

Lingyin was almost frightened, and instead of pointing at the crazy woman, she withdrew her hand and grabbed the corner of Chu Qing's clothes, her legs were already limp.

Chu Qing was caught in the middle of the screams of the two people, and his head was made big by the screams, not to mention that this would attract the Habayashi Army.

Chu Qing covered Lingyin's mouth, "Shh, stop barking."

Lingyin was stunned for a while, then nodded and said yes, Chu Qing let go of her hand.

Chu Qing let go, and Lingyin was afraid that she could not help screaming again, so she quickly covered her mouth with both hands.

The bell stopped barking, and the crazy woman was not interested in barking by herself, so she stopped barking and looked at the two of them with her head tilted through the crack of the door.

She stared at Lingyin for a while, then her eyes quickly fell on Chu Qing.She looked at Chu Qing and didn't look away for a long time.

There is no moon tonight, and no lamps are lit in front of the cold palace. It is so dark that you can't see your fingers.The crazy woman looked at Chu Qing for a while, but she didn't see what the name was, so she looked away.

Chu Qing felt uncomfortable being watched by her, and he was relieved to see that she stopped looking.

Who would have thought that the crazy woman didn't stop looking, she was opening the door!

The dilapidated palace gate creaked, followed by the sound of iron chains, Chu Qing's eyes widened involuntarily, and he took a step back.Lingyin's eyes widened, and she tightly covered her mouth, trying not to scream.

"Master, master, she, she, she, she is coming out...Master, let's go quickly."

Lingyin was weeping and trembling, she was frightened too much in one night, and she was not well.

"Don't be afraid, she won't come out if nothing happens."

Chu Qing whispered, and patted Lingyin's shoulder comfortingly, "The door is tied with an iron chain, and she can't open it."

Lingyin nodded in confusion, as if she had gained some confidence.

The crazy woman lowered her head and fiddled for a while, the iron chain rattling, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't open the door.

Outside the door, neither Chu Qing nor Ling Yin spoke, as if they had already left.

The crazy woman stopped trying to open the palace door, and sat down against the crack of the door, continuing to hum the unfinished nursery rhyme.

"March [-]rd...without underwear...a bunch of leaves...hanging golden lotus..."

Listening to the crazy woman's singing at close range, it was far less terrifying than hearing it when she didn't know anything before. Chu Qing folded her chest and stared at her through the crack of the door.

Ling Yindan came back and asked in a low voice, "Master, why is she singing nursery rhymes?"

The girl in the cold palace sings nursery rhymes, what else could be the reason?Chu Qing replied: "She misses a child."

"April [-]th..."

"May [-]th..."

……

"October tenth..."

"Come to the end..."

The crazy woman finished singing slowly, then suddenly burst into tears, and shrank herself into a ball, "It doesn't hurt, it doesn't hurt anymore, it won't hurt if the queen mother blows to you..."

Empress?Among the concubines who have children in the harem, only the queen can call herself a mother queen, and the rest of the concubines call themselves mother concubines.

This crazy woman is the queen?

The late emperor's queen? !

Ting Li...Chu Ting Li?

Chu Qing stepped forward, and tentatively called out in a low voice, "Empress?"

After the voice fell, he clearly saw the woman curled up in the crack of the door, twitching from crying, suddenly stopped, turned over and sat up, and looked at him through the crack of the door.

Really the first queen.

Chu Qing remembered that it was recorded in the documents he saw before coming to Dachu that the former empress had died of illness three years ago, so how could she appear here.

Chu Qing's mind changed sharply, and she wanted to continue to test, but there were a few small footsteps behind her.

someone is coming.

Chu Qing stepped back and ran out with a scream.

Lingyin was startled, what is in the cold palace? !The master was so courageous that he was so frightened, let alone her, Lingyin didn't even dare to take a look, and ran out after Chu Qing with a scream.

The secret guard came to report that Chu Qing had arrived at the boundary of Lenggong, and Chu Tingyue was afraid that something might happen, so he went there in person.

I didn't want to see their master and servant rushing out with their heads in their arms as soon as they arrived. They were obviously very frightened.

Chu Qing's eyes were full of tears, and he saw that the person in front of him was Chu Tingyue, so he yelled "Your Majesty" and rushed over.

Chu Tingyue took a step to the left to avoid Chu Qing.

Chu Qing wasted no time and didn't even touch the corner of his clothes, but this didn't prevent him from crying to Chu Tingyue, "Your Majesty, I'm so scared..."

Chu Tingyue looked at him coldly, Chu Qing was not affected at all, and said to himself: "Your Majesty, why is there such a dilapidated place in the palace... and there are still voices crying and laughing, is it a ghost... Your Majesty , she still sings... ghosts can also sing... I'm so scared..."

Chu Qing pinched the corner of her clothes, wiped away her tears, and looked pitifully at Chu Tingyue with red eyes.

"..."

Chu Tingyue: "Why did Shijun come here?"

Chu Qing sniffed, and spoke with a heavy nasal voice, "Your majesty, it's not that I said that you are too economical, and you don't light two more lights on the palace road at night... I and Lingyin are not familiar with each other. The way is the same everywhere, and by the time we both realized it, we were already lost. It’s nothing more than getting lost, and we heard and heard ghosts singing nursery rhymes, which scared us, master and servant, to run away with our heads in our hands..."

"Your majesty, it's a good thing you're here. The minister and Lingyin couldn't go out, and the singing voice was still there, and the minister suspected that a ghost hit the wall..." Chu Qing choked up, forcing out two tears, "I am afraid that I will never see the emperor again."

Listening to him crying and talking nonsense, Lingyin sobbed for a while, looked at Chu Qing misty with tears, and was shocked by what Chu Qing said.

"It's okay, why are you crying?" Chu Tingyue saw a man cry for the first time, one head and two big, "Go back to the palace and rest."

"Your majesty, can you accompany me back... I'm afraid..." Chu Qing said in a low voice.

"..."

Chu Tingyue turned his head and ordered, "Zhou Porridge, send Shi Jun back to Qingyan Palace."

Zhou Porridge responded, and said to Chu Qing, "Your Majesty, come with your slaves."

Chu Qing reluctantly glanced at Chu Tingyue, seeing that his face was expressionless, so he could only leave with Zhou Porridge.

Lingyin remained silent, followed Chu Qing silently, and left silently.

Chu Tingyue glanced back, walked forward, and stopped in front of the gate of the cold palace.

From his position, he could clearly see the once high and disdainful queen holding the door, looking out nervously through the crack of the door.

Chu Tingyue was followed by his cronies, who held a palace lantern in their hands, and the bright light illuminated an open space in front of the cold palace.

The crazy woman squinted her eyes, saw the person coming, suddenly let out a strange cry, and pressed her thin back against the heavy palace door.

"You are not allowed to come in, you are not allowed to torture my son...you can't enter..."

She was muttering, pressing the palace door tightly.

"Go and open the door." Chu Tingyue ordered.

As soon as his words fell, the mad woman's fragile nerves were touched for no reason, and the mad woman screamed like a maniac, full of abuse, "Bitch! Bitch! You can't come in, I don't allow you to come in! Ah——!"

The confidant looked at Chu Tingyue, but Chu Tingyue's face remained unchanged, "Open the door."

"Yes."

The confidant responded, and kicked the palace gate neatly, directly kicking the crazy woman away through the heavy palace gate.There was a crack in the palace door, the cronies took out the lock and opened it, pushed the door open, and let Chu Tingyue in.

The mad woman looked ferocious and rushed towards Chu Tingyue.The confidant stretched out his hand to stop her, Chu Tingyue stepped into the main hall without looking sideways.

The main hall is connected to an underground secret room, it is said to be a secret room, it is more like a dungeon, and Chu Tingyue is imprisoned in it.

The crazy woman watched him enter the main hall, struggled and twisted with all her strength, and shouted: "Bitch! You are not allowed to go in! You can't go in! What are you trying to do to my son! You can't go in!"
