The Imperial Guard’s Revenge

Wang Yanqing sighed, It's so hard.

The palace maid shook her head and said, We're pretty good, and the ones who wipe the floor are the most tired. They have to wait for everyone to finish before scrubbing. If they move around a little, they'll be in vain. The steward is responsible and punished. Recently, there are unclean things in the palace, no one dares to go out at night, and no one wants to clean the floor.

The palace maid started talking, and Wang Yanqing asked, What the hell is this, why is it so rampant?

The palace maids were very taboo to talk about ghosts, but when they thought that Wang Yanqing was a man of Taoism, they dared to say: It is said that it is a resentful spirit who died in the palace, because he was wronged and could not be reincarnated, so he is looking for a ghost in the palace.

Wang Yanqing thought this statement was strange and asked, How do you know it's a wronged soul?

A round-faced palace maid seemed to want to say something, but when someone next to her pulled her clothes off, she swallowed what she wanted to say, and said, Everyone in the palace said this. ?

Wang Yanqing could see what these palace maids were hiding, she did not rush to ask, but said in a circle: Really? I once learned the method of transcendence with my master. You describe in detail the appearance of the ghost, maybe I can recognize it. What the hell. If I help it do a ritual, it will be able to escape, and there will be no need to find a scapegoat.

Lu Heng helped her arrange her identity, and Wang Yanqing could only follow Lu Heng's words. The palace maids did not suspect him when they heard it, and they talked about the ghost. Wang Yanqing couldn't hear the key information at all, so he could only stop and ask one by one, When did it first appear?

At the end of last month, the Empress Dowager was stunned.

Apart from the queen mother, haven't you all seen it?

The palace maid shook her head, and Wang Yanqing asked, What about the palace maid who was on the night watch that day, didn't even see it?

No. The palace maid said, Yuehuan was beaten for this. It's strange. She usually sleeps very lightly, but she fell asleep completely that night. The next day Lan Yu went to call her and shook it for a long time. , she just woke up.

Cui Yuehuan was the palace maid who kept the night watch when Empress Dowager Zhang met a ghost for the first time, while Lan Yu was the one who found Empress Dowager Zhang fainted the next day. Wang Yanqing listened thoughtfully, Cui Yuehuan fell asleep, and Lan Yu appeared the next day, that is to say, only the Queen Mother Zhang knew what happened that night.

Wang Yanqing thought of Empress Dowager Zhang's state, and if she didn't think the second brother couldn't ask, she could ask. Wang Yanqing gave up asking the parties, but asked sideways, Where is Lan Yu?

A palace maid got up to look for it, and after a while, Lan Yu came. Wang Yanqing asked, On the twenty-ninth day, did you discover that the Queen Mother fainted?

Lan Yu knew that the woman was sent by Jinyiwei Lord Lu, she tugged her fingers on the front of her clothes and nodded nervously. Wang Yanqing swept the motion of her finger without making a sound, and asked, When did you find out the next day?

Lan Yu thought for a while and said, It should be Yin Shi. It was my turn to sweep the floor that day, and I got up early.

Wang Yanqing asked, Since you are in charge of sweeping the floor, how do you know that the Empress Dowager has fainted?

Lan Yu pointed to the other window and said, The window was not closed that day. When I passed by, I found the window open. I thought that opening the window so early would not wake the queen mother from freezing? , I happened to see the queen mother sleeping on the ground. I was startled and hurried in to call someone.

Wang Yanqing recalled the layout of Empress Dowager Zhang's palace. From this angle, he could indeed see the ground. Wang Yanqing asked, When you discovered the Queen Mother, was there anything around?

Lan Yu thought for a while, then shook her head: I didn't pay attention. I was shocked when I saw the queen mother fainted, so I hurriedly called someone to help the queen mother, and didn't pay attention to the surroundings.

When Lan Yu was talking, Wang Yanqing kept staring at her expression, and she didn't find any lie for the time being. Wang Yanqing looked at the window, and sure enough, there was no trace on it. The Ciqing Palace is cleaned twice a day. After so long, the evidence has long been cleaned up.

Wang Yanqing didn't get any valid information for the time being, so he had to ask about the second haunting: What happened when the ghost appeared for the second time?

Speaking of this, the palace maids know many people. One of the palace maids named Yu Wan said: After the queen mother fell ill, let everyone stay in the dormitory as soon as it gets dark. It was too much to bear, so Aunt Qin suggested to the queen mother to divide the people into two groups, one group to watch the night, the other group to go back to sleep, and change shifts in the middle of the night. On the fifth day of the fifth day, it was our turn to stay in the middle of the night. I was still awake in front of me, and later I was so sleepy that I didn’t know when I fell asleep. There was a cold wind in the room, and I was suddenly awake. I think it was almost time for a shift change, so I was waiting in the hall for another group of people to come. At that time, the queen mother I fell asleep with the others, and the palace was very quiet. Suddenly, I heard a cry outside. The voice was shrill and thin. I thought it was the wind at first, but the more I heard it, the more I panicked. Quickly shake them awake. As a result...

When Yu Wan said this, her eyes widened and she showed a terrified expression. Wang Yanqing asked, What happened?

Yu Wan swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said with lingering fears: As a result, as soon as I looked up, I saw a figure reflected on the window paper, with hair disheveled. I woke up. Fortunately, Aunt Qin was there at the time. Aunt Qin comforted the queen mother and told us not to make any noise, and even took a wooden stick to open the window. It is strange to say that the shadow of the female ghost was outside not long ago, but as soon as we opened the window , but nothing.
