In a few days, rumors spread in the palace that Lady Yu had died because of Zhen Huan. Her resentment was soaring, and her vengeful spirits were still lingering. The ghosts often appeared in the Cold Palace and Yongxiang. They even disturbed Tangli late at night, scaring Zhen Huan so much that she could not sleep at night. Gossip always spread more and more widely, and the more it spread, the more it was embellished, and the further it was from the truth. Moreover, the theory of ghosts and gods had always been believed in by the people in the harem.
Baoying smiled as she fanned herself." This person has never done anything wrong in his life. He's not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night.”I leaned on the beauty couch and pretended to sleep, ignoring them.
Baojuan also smiled and said,"I heard that Wan Wanyi was scared out of her wits!" You said that the emperor often accompanied Wan Wanyi, but the emperor's heavenly aura couldn't even suppress a small vengeful spirit?”He had a smug look on his face.
"But why did Little Master suddenly say that he was sick?”Little Shunzi touched his smooth forehead and asked in confusion. Last night, the young master left behind some unclear words and asked his master to stay for a night chat. When his master returned, he instructed him to do something. But what was with this illness?
I raised my eyebrows and said sharply,"I'm sick, not sick." Do you understand?" Xiao Shunzi's body trembled as he quickly apologized,"Yes, this servant said something wrong. Little Lord is sick."”
Juqing tried to smooth things over and said firmly,"Little Master, Little Shunzi is only concerned about Little Master's body." However, this servant does not believe the rumors in the harem. Someone must be playing tricks!”
I didn't say a word and said coldly,"Just say it in Lan Yi Lou, you're not allowed to talk nonsense outside!" As for this ghost, if some people felt that it existed, then it existed. If some people felt that it did not exist, then it did not exist. Let's see." After saying that, he didn't say anything else. The servants looked at each other. Little Shunzi understood in his heart, but Little Master didn't say anything, so he pretended not to know.
In the past few days, the rumors of Madam Yu's ghost causing trouble had become more and more intense. There were even more than a dozen concubines who claimed to have seen Madam Yu's ghost. She was dressed in white and had long hair. Her face was covered in blood, and she was mournful and terrifying. She kept saying that she wanted those who harmed her to pay with their lives. It was so noisy that everyone was in danger and the chickens and dogs were in turmoil. Zhen Huan was troubled by nightmares every night and her spirit was getting worse and worse. The Empress understood the Emperor's meaning very well and took pity on Zhen Huan, deliberately avoiding Zhen Huan's visit for a few days. Xuan Ling was very worried and helpless. At this time, the Master of the Hall of Brightness said that the Emperor's Yang Qi was the strongest, and the ghosts guarding the pear would definitely not dare to harass him again. He also began to perform a great ritual in the Hall of Brightness day and night to release the souls of the Cold Palace. Therefore, Xuan Ling stayed with Tang Li every night. Sure enough, Zhen Huan's nightmare gradually improved. The harem was filled with jealousy and hatred.
The next day. Early morning. Dressing up.
Xu Wanhai hurriedly stepped forward and bowed." Young Master, the Emperor has issued a decree to strip Concubine Hua of her right to manage the six palaces. Concubine Li is banished to the Cold Palace.”
Baojuan said in surprise,"Concubine Hua was deprived of the right to assist the six palaces. This is something that has never happened before!" But why?"
Juqing inserted the last hairpin in my temples and smiled. This servant thought that some people had a guilty conscience.”
Qiaohui carried breakfast into the room and smiled." I heard that Concubine Li Guipin was scared by a ghost on her way back from the Empress 'Palace last night. She was talking nonsense, referring to Concubine Hui falling into the water and Concubine Wan being poisoned.”
Little Shunzi bowed and did not speak. Bao Ying smiled." Young Master, you and Eunuch Xu thought that Wan Wanyi was the real murderer. Now that Wan Wanyi and Hui Pin were safe and sound, Li Guipin was banished to the Cold Palace, so this was a confession!”
I got up and sat at the dining table. I didn't say anything, and Xu Wanhai stood there calmly. The servant girls looked at each other, unable to guess what I meant.
After eating, although Bao Juan and the others were curious, they were smart enough not to speak. They now understood that if Little Master was not willing to say anything, no one could force her. I sat on the edge of the pear blossom wooden table and drank a mouthful of tea. I raised my eyebrows and said coldly,"What do you think, Eunuch Xu?"”
Eunuch Xu took a step forward and said respectfully,"Your servant's thoughts remain unchanged."”Baojuan and Qiaohui exclaimed in unison,"But the Emperor has already issued an edict. Li Guipin has already confessed!"”
I said coldly,"You only have so little brain!" Li Guipin was scared out of her wits because they were the ones who planned Hui Pin's drowning and Wan Wanyi's poisoning. After this incident, the Empress mentioned everything, and it was normal for Consort Hua to be cold. However, she, Yu Ying 'er, was demoted because of Zhen Huan, and her death was tragic. When they returned to the palace that day, everyone was afraid, but Wan Wanyi and Hui Pin were not?”
Ju Qing's face was full of uncertainty as she said in a surprised tone,"Little Lord, ever since Wan Pin and Wan Yi were favored, you've always claimed to be sick and never left Lan Yi Lou." A few days later, his condition worsened. "This…" His tone seemed to have understood something, and he continued,"Does Young Master want to retreat to the back of the crowd so as not to get himself into trouble?" But Wan-Pin, are you afraid? This servant doesn't go out like Little Master, so we won't be able to see!”
I looked at her appreciatively, but didn't say anything and just looked at Little Shunzi. Xiao Shunzi got my permission and cleverly stepped forward to praise sincerely,"Wan-Pin and Hui-Pin's temperament is not something ordinary people can compare to."”The few of them were stunned. Baojuan was the first to react. Her tone was uncertain and firm. The talk of ghosts and gods these few days is…"Although it was not clearly said, the few of them suddenly understood.
I looked at my beautiful green nails and said indifferently," All of you had your own opinions before. You didn't believe Eunuch Xu and my deduction, but what about the truth? One had to know that the most invisible killing in the harem was the groundless rumors. One had to know that killing 10,000 people was equivalent to harming 3,000 people.”
Baojuan only felt relieved after hearing my confirmation." It's really hard to imagine. It's too unbelievable. If it wasn't for Little Master and Little Shunzi, I believe that no one else in the harem would believe it.”Bao Ying and Qiao Hui were also shocked.
I looked at the blazing sun outside the window and said coldly,"Where there are people, there will be struggles." People's hearts could change. However, one could only see the sky from a small hole in the well. Only by climbing the mountain and looking far away would one know that there was a sky beyond the sky.”
Mid-May.
The emperor took the queen to Taiping Palace for summer vacation. Zhen Huan, Mei Zhuang, Concubine Hua and other concubines accompanied him. After the Emperor left the palace, the harem became much calmer overnight. I stayed in my Misty Pavilion to practice my calligraphy and body to pass the time.
On the 17th day of the 5th lunar month, Xiao Shunzi came in with a face full of joy, bringing along an unfamiliar eunuch. He reported to me,"Young Master, Manager Li has sent his subordinate, Eunuch Li Jr., to pay his respects to Young Master.”
I was practicing calligraphy when I saw the usually steady little straight son with a face full of joy. I was surprised in my heart, but my tone was still indifferent as I said,"Steward Li is too polite. I wonder what is the matter for Steward Li to send little Eunuch Li here?”Eunuch Li is very clever. He saluted me and said with a smile,"Congratulations, Young Master An. The Emperor has sent Steward Li to bring Young Master An to the palace for the summer. Thus, he specially sent this servant to inform Young Master An so that she could be prepared.”
"Thank you, father-in-law, for making this trip for me." Baoying!" Bao Ying understood and went forward to pass a pouch to Young Eunuch Li. Eunuch Li smiled and accepted the surprise in his heart. He was truly a cold beauty who couldn't even smile. He still smiled and said," This servant thanks Little Master for your reward."”
I asked directly,"This is my first time going to the palace, so there are some things I need to ask Young Li Eunuch."”Eunuch Li politely smiled and said,"I dare not ask for advice. If Little Master has anything to ask, feel free to ask."”
I directly asked with concern,"How many attendants can I bring?" Eunuch Xu is old and can't stand the heat. I want to take him to avoid the heat.”
Eunuch Li was surprised for a moment, but he still smiled and said,""Young Master An has servants to serve you, so how can it be inconvenient? However, with Young Mistress An's current status, she could only bring two palace maids with her.”
"Thank you, Young Eunuch Li." I can go to the palace for the summer because Concubine Wan or Concubine Hui told the emperor.”His tone was doubtful but firm.
The smile on Young Eunuch Li's face did not change." Young Master An is right. Hui Ronghua was found to be pregnant in the palace and has been promoted to Ronghua." Hui Ronghua missed her young master very much, so she asked the emperor to accompany her.”I raised my eyebrows and nodded." Little Shunzi, help me send off Little Eunuch Li."”
After Xiao Shunzi sent Eunuch Li back, Baojuan and the others gathered together and waited for my instructions.
At this time, Baojuan excitedly said,"That's great, it's a good thing that Little Lord can go to the palace to accompany the Emperor!" If Little Master can see the face of the heavens, then all the suffering will come to an end.”
Qiaohui said thoughtfully,"Hui Ronghua is pregnant, and Wan Wanyi is here." It's still too early to say that happiness will come after hardship." After saying that, he stopped talking. Ju Qing smiled and said,"No matter what, the little master has naturally made up her mind."”
I said indifferently,"Hui Ronghua is pregnant and cannot serve the emperor." However, because she was pregnant, it was inevitable that she would make enemies. Everyone in the harem would definitely keep an eye on her. That's why he wanted to carry me out to block it.”The few of them could not help but look at each other and no longer speak.
Xu Wanhai then asked,"What does Little Master plan to do?"”
I looked at the red sunset outside the window. It was slowly disappearing into the four high walls. This might be the end of my life. He sighed in his heart that there was no way to get good or bad luck. His face became colder and colder as he said,"Go, why not?" I've been sick for so long. I should be fine. As for who among you slaves will go, you can discuss it yourself. Anyway, I want to see him tomorrow."
