Chapter 250 The Story of Ghosts and Gods
The life in the palace is very leisurely. Except for the women in the palace looking forward to the emperor's favor when night falls, the rest of the time is spent doing nothing.
Mo Xiaomei doesn't need to deal with the emperor at all, so she is more leisurely.
Her task is to dress up the dead women in the palace, and people don't die in the palace every day, so she is more leisurely.
After eating delicious food at noon, Mo Xiaomei and Yingying each had a cup of fragrant tea, and sat leisurely on the kang to pass the time.
The sun was shining just right, and the warm sunlight slanted through the window paper and sprinkled softly on the two of them, making them extremely comfortable.
"Cherry, how many years have you been in the palace?" Mo Xiaomei gently blew away the tea leaves in the cup, and took a small peck.
"Sister, I have been in the palace for three years." Cherry replied with a smile, her delicate face was slightly flushed, and she looked extremely cute under the light.
"When you enter the palace, do you serve the concubine precious?" Mo Xiaomei continued to ask.
"That's right... I was assigned to the precious concubine's palace as soon as I entered the palace. But she was not a noble concubine at that time, but a noble person." Cherry replied with a smile.
"Oh? That means that the precious person was promoted from a nobleman to a noble concubine in less than three years? She is really favored!" Mo Xiaomei laughed.
"Yes, the imperial concubine was born very well, and she was named a noble person as soon as she entered the palace. Moreover, the elder brother of the imperial concubine's mother's family is brave and good at fighting, and has repeatedly made outstanding achievements in the frontier. The emperor is grateful for the sacrifice of the imperial concubine's family for the country, and the horse leather wrapped the body, so the emperor treats the empress very much. Be pampered and upgrade again and again."
Mo Xiaomei suddenly realized that the precious concubine was favored because of her natal family's usefulness.
"I heard that there is a nobleman Li who is very popular recently. I wonder if my sister has heard of it?" Mo Xiaomei took a sip of fragrant tea and asked about nobleman Li.
"My sister is talking about Li Guiren, who has been in the limelight recently? I have never met her, but I just heard that my mother scolded her badly..." Cherry said.
"Then what is Li Guiren's background? Not only can he bring down the virtuous concubine, but he can also make the precious concubine quite critical..." Mo Xiaomei is now very interested in this Li Guiren.
Since she has decided to attack Li Guiren, of course she needs to know more about her.
This woman must be crazy. Not only did she dare to have an affair with the guards, but she was so ruthless that she could strangle Liu Xu to death...
She probably wouldn't know that Liu promised to die unjustly, but he was able to sue for being possessed by a ghost...
"Li Guiren? Although we have met her before, we heard that she is extremely beautiful and naturally charming. She fascinated the emperor so much that all the women in the palace hated her so much. She relied on the emperor's love for her. , is very domineering. When the precious concubine mentions her, she can't wait to peel her skin..." Cherry whispered.
"What about her mother's family? Is it like the precious concubine that the emperor relies heavily on?" Mo Xiaomei asked.
"Her mother's family? Huh!" Cherry snorted coldly and said, "I heard that her father is just a small fifth-rank civil servant in the capital, and she has a few brothers, and I heard that they are all playboys who have achieved nothing..."
"Oh...so that's the case, then she really committed suicide! She has no background, no virtue, and dares to show her teeth and claws in the palace? Just look, she can't be proud for a few days, which of the women in the palace is simple? ? Which one is not beautiful, and which one is not powerful in the background? Everyone is just inactive for a while because the emperor loves her..." Mo Xiaomei also sneered.
"Elder sister is right!" Cherry immediately continued: "Concubine Zhenzheng said the same thing. Or she just doesn't have Li Guiren's handle, otherwise she must be thrown into hell, and she will never stand up again!"
That's it!
Mo Xiaomei immediately had a bottom line in her heart.Since so many people want Li Guiren's life, she will follow suit, firstly to help Liu promise revenge, and secondly to help Jia Yuanchun.
This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone!
Just one thing, she didn't know when she would be able to see Xu Donglai and discuss with him.
There is no need to worry about this matter. Judging by Jia Yuanchun's appearance, there will be no problems if he persists for a few more days.
Thinking of Jia Yuanchun, Mo Xiaomei rang the secret code she handed to herself again. After thinking for a long time, she couldn't figure out what the code meant.
Could it be that she is setting the time for the two to meet secretly?
One long and three short, one long and three short, one long and three short... What time is this?
It's not that Mo Xiaomei is stupid. Since she traveled here, she has always estimated the time roughly, and there is no precise time at all.
In this era, there are clocks and watches imported from the West, but they are only the things of very wealthy people. How could she have them?
It seems that there is a sitting clock in Wang Xifeng's house, and everyone calls it "self-ringing clock".
"Cherry, how do you read the time in the palace?" Mo Xiaomei couldn't help asking.
"Look at the time?" Cherry said; "There is a chime clock in every palace!"
"Then we don't have that thing, what should we do?" Mo Xiaomei asked.
"Isn't there still a watcher? Watching the sun during the day, there is a watcher at night!" Cherry felt very strange, this sister seemed to have been in the palace for a long time, why didn't she even know about this?
Mo Xiaomei saw her doubts at a glance, and laughed quickly: "Sister, I used to live alone, and I took a break early. Where did I pay attention to these things? Besides, my place is remote, and others are afraid. Who can run to the place?" I'm here? You were the first to live in."
Cherry suddenly realized when she heard this, nodded hurriedly, and said in a low voice: "Sister didn't tell me, I forgot, no one dares to come here. I used to take a detour every time, and I have never been here for three years." Well. I just feel that the place is dark and scary, so scary..."
When she said this, she suddenly realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly covered her mouth.
When Mo Xiaomei saw it, she smiled and said: "It's okay, I don't blame you, it's really very dark here. Every night, there is something walking around outside, sometimes knocking on the door and shaking the window. You are used to Just do it."
"Ah... sister, don't say it..." Cherry screamed in fright.
"Sister, is it true? Is there really something unclean here?"
"Yes, but don't be afraid, they are generally harmless, don't be afraid..."
The more Mo Xiaomei talked, the more afraid Cherry became.She grabbed the little sister's skirt and shouted tremblingly: "Sister, what should I do? Will they come into the house?"
Mo Xiaomei laughed secretly, and comforted her in her mouth: "It's okay, they just wander around outside the house, messing around, and never come in the house, don't be afraid. As long as you go to bed early at night, they won't bother you." I'll trouble you... But if you hear something, don't talk, I'll deal with it!"
"They? What are they? Are they ghosts? Aren't you afraid, sister?" Cherry asked tremblingly.
"They are just women who died unjustly in the palace all these years, but they didn't want to be reincarnated. They often come to me to complain, do you want to meet?" Live Cherry so that she won't discover her secret later.
These women in the palace are ruthless, and they often kill people if they make a move, so they all believe in ghosts and gods, and they are extremely devout to Buddhism, hoping that Buddha Zhuzu can forgive them for their sins.
Although Cherry is clean and has never done anything harmful, she is deeply influenced by the heroines in the palace, and she believes in ghosts and gods very much.
Mo Xiaomei's words scared her to death.In the future, she really went to bed early every night, and didn't discover the little sister's secret at all.
