Chapter 51 How much psychedelic ginseng

Walking into Yueyang Palace, the maids and eunuchs were cleaning the courtyard, whispering together.Seeing me coming, I stopped immediately, and each went busy. "Xiao Xingzi, follow me in." I glanced at them and called out to Xiao Xingzi. Xiao Xingzi rolled his eyes nimbly, bowed his body and followed behind me. Mei Yuntang.I was sitting on a chair, and Xiao Xingzi was beside me with his head down. I lowered my voice: "What happened in the palace?" Xiao Xingzi replied: "Go back to your mother, Lan Zhaorong died the night before, and they were all haunting the palace last night."

I frowned: "Who are you listening to rumors?" "Go back to your mother, the servant went out early today, and I heard them talking together, saying that they saw Lan Zhaorong's soul floating in the harem in the middle of the night. It doesn't sound like a fake." I thought to myself, how long has it been since the news spread throughout the harem early in the morning, and I saw them mysteriously all the way back.Maybe someone deliberately took advantage of Lan Zhaorong's death to stir up troubles in the harem. With a serious expression, I looked at Qiuxi: "Let's pass on the word, none of us in Yueyang Palace are allowed to discuss this matter, and if there is any disobedience, we will definitely not forgive you lightly."

Qiu Xi's eyes concealed deep meaning, as if she understood the meaning of my words, she responded, "Yes." I know this matter is not groundless, but it can't make any waves, it's just a commotion, to create a little fear for those with a guilty conscience.In fact, I believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, but I don't believe that Lan Zhaorong's soul can have such a skill to wander in the harem.I'm afraid she is helpless at this moment, and she doesn't know what a miserable situation she has fallen into. I always feel that there is too much resentment accumulated in this harem, and this resentment has spread from the previous dynasty to the present, and will spread to the future.

Concubine Wu is here again, she rarely comes to my Yueyang Palace on weekdays, this time she brought Xie Ronghua with her. In the Nuan Pavilion, the pot of water lilies is still about to bloom, as if waiting for a promise in a prosperous age. Originally blooming in a season that does not belong to oneself may not have a good result.Too early too early, too late too late. The unfinished game of chess from yesterday was still on the table. After the concubine Wu left, I studied it again. No matter which way I go, it is a dead end. If I go past, I can’t turn back. Every road is a dead end. Not return.

Concubine Wu couldn't hold back after all, she said in a low and deep voice, "Sister, I heard that someone saw Lan Zhaorong's ghost last night, do you believe it?" I pretended to be nonchalant, and said with a smile, "Really? I'm afraid this is just a false rumor, where there is a soul after death, even if there is, it is not something we mortals can see." She gathered herself together, nodded and said: "I think so, if the soul can really do whatever it wants, then the world will not be so peaceful, at least the harem will not be so peaceful, so many dead souls can turn into ghosts to collect debts .”

"Debt collection? Who owes whom." A cold smile rose from the corner of my mouth. Xie Ronghua's face was calm, as if she didn't care about it at all, and said lightly: "Even if there is a soul, there is nothing to be afraid of. As long as you have a clear conscience, how can evil be suppressed?" I looked out the window, the sun was shining brightly, and I smiled and said: "I believe in the theory of ghosts and gods, but ghosts are bound by ghosts. Gods have gods, and people have their own paths. How can they come together so easily? Like Sister Shutong said, if you have a clear conscience, how can evil be able to suppress righteousness?"

Concubine Wu looked at me and asked calmly: "Sister, you should say that you have a clear conscience towards Lan Zhaorong, but does she think so? I think she will hold grudges against you until she dies. All of this is because of you. It started because of me, can you say that we have no responsibility at all? It has nothing to do with her death? " "No!" I answered heartily and simply.Then he said: "So what if I can't, don't say that ghosts can't tell right from wrong, how can a human being be able to tell right from wrong? If she lives and dies, she will bear grudges against me, and it's useless for me to worry and escape. If she She has become a ghost, she really has supernatural powers, so whatever she wants, I will give."

The corner of Concubine Wu's mouth raised a graceful and indifferent arc, and she smiled softly: "I'm afraid my sister can't afford it." I sneered: "I can't afford it? She wants to be favored when she is alive, and she wants to get rid of me quickly. When she dies, she just wants me to pay for my life. There is nothing I can do when I am alive. What can I do when I am dead? She only increased her resentment." I spoke every word from my heart, as if these words were meant to be heard by Lan Zhaorong. Concubine Wu praised: "Okay, my sister is really straightforward. With such a fearless heart, what are you afraid of? You are right, there is nothing you can do when you are alive, and there is nothing you can do after death."

"Yes, there is absolutely no fear at all. She complains as she hates, as she hates as she hates, as she suffers as she suffers. Only myself can truly save myself." After saying these words, I feel a little cruel, if I don't So, so what?I am haunted by demons every day, who can save me?If you give up on yourself, you really give up. Xie Ronghua picked up a cherry from the fruit plate and ate it, and said with a smile: "Sister, don't talk about it anymore, I am fearless anyway, I am fearless, so I don't believe it. Many things have happened in the Sun Palace these days, really I want to go out of the palace to relax."

Concubine Wu's eyes were also full of longing, she looked out the window: "I also really want to go out of the palace. In the past, it was not difficult to go out in Prince Yuan's mansion. Since entering the harem, it is really difficult to go out once." A bird fluttered past the window, then flew in a further direction, flew over the palace wall, and went straight to the sky.I sighed: "At the beginning when I left Cuimei Temple and returned to the imperial palace, I was so resolute and resolute along the way. I didn't look back and rode my horse to raise dust. How free and easy, but now I'm tired of such restraints."

Concubine Wu's eyes lit up, and she smiled: "Sister, how about we go to Cuimei Nunnery together? Instead of being stuck here, why not go to the nunnery for a few days to meditate." I said: "Where in life is there is no red dust, even if it is clean when you go there, you will still come back in the end, it will only increase thoughts and worries." Xie Ronghua smiled: "My sister just thinks too much. It's better to have a chance to relax than never. I really haven't been out of the palace for a long time." She looked out the window, as if she was a bird that had been imprisoned for many years, waiting Spread your wings and fly high. "Okay, if there is a chance, I will try and ask the emperor." I just didn't want to spoil their interest by saying this, in fact, I was not sure that Chunyi would grant it.Moreover, at this time, I don't want to leave the palace.Because of Lan Zhaorong's matter, Chunyi is unhappy, and I don't want to choose to escape at this time. After sitting for a while, they got up and left. They came here today because of Lan Zhaorong's business.To me, this is nothing more than people from the harem stirring up trouble. As long as I don't pay attention to it, everything will naturally return to silence. There is nothing in the world, and nothing is disturbing.I don't want to be such a mediocre person. Before she died, I went to see her. After she died, I was not afraid of her. Yueyang Palace, Dongnuan Pavilion. I make a pot of plum tea to clear the heat and quench my thirst. Chunyi's expression is not very good, his face is full of tiredness, he has been worrying about political affairs recently, and the harem is restless. I couldn't bear to bring up the matter of leaving the palace, but I was afraid of failing their entrustment. Sitting beside him quietly, handed him a cup of tea, and said softly, "Your Majesty, the weather has been a bit stuffy recently, drink a cup of plum tea to relieve the heat." Chun Yi sighed softly: "Mei'er, I feel very tired recently, and only going to Yueyang Palace can I be quieter." I said with concern: "The emperor must take care of the dragon's body." "Ok." I bowed my head in silence. "What, do you have something on your mind?" His eyes were deep, as if he could penetrate my thoughts. I said softly: "Your Majesty, Concubine Wu and Xie Ronghua said that it might be because of the weather recently that they feel a little bored in their hearts, and they want to stay in Cuimei Temple for a few days." Chunyi frowned: "It's Cuimei Nunnery again, I still feel bored, can I also leave everything behind and go there to meditate for a few days?" I smiled: "Don't be annoyed, Your Majesty, it's just what I said. If the Emperor doesn't agree, I won't go. The concubines also want to stay with the Emperor in the palace." bother. Chunyi held my hand and looked at me affectionately: "Mei'er, when I finish handling the political affairs, I will calm down and take you to Mingyue Mountain Villa to escape the summer heat." "Mingyue Villa?" I asked in surprise. "Yes, Mingyue Mountain Villa is a palace built by the late emperor. The climate there is cool, and it is a wonderful place for summer vacation." A cool picture of Mingyue Mountain Villa has already appeared in my mind, and I also yearn to find an extraordinary place to wash away the dust. This is a dull late spring, with a hint of heat in early summer, and the cicadas that came early were chirping every night on the branches, adding to the annoyance.The ghost of Lan Zhaorong was circulating in the harem. It was heard that Concubine Yun and Concubine Xu Gui were sick, and the noisy harem became silent. Chunyi no longer favors me exclusively, the queen persuaded him several times, and I pleaded many times, he promised to enjoy the rain and dew evenly, for the sake of the peace of the six palaces. It seems that the days have passed very long, but I, Concubine Wu, and Xie Ronghua get together occasionally, and every time we talk about Mingyue Villa, because I just want to leave this familiar place as soon as possible, and go to a strange place to refresh my mood , After returning to the palace, they each became themselves again.
