Chapter 438 Haunted

The wind came in, and the paper money and a few pieces of paper on Xu Jiao's desk were blown away.

Wen Tao hurriedly stood up and chased them out. When she got to the door, she picked up the paper money and the few pieces of paper. But when she raised her eyes, she suddenly shouted in surprise, "Who is it?"

"What's wrong?" Both people in the hall looked sideways.

Wen Tao stood by the door for a while before turning around, hesitantly said, "Just now I saw a white shadow floating past..."

I don't know if it was because of the light in the hall, Wen Tao's face was a little pale, coupled with her expression, and the word "piao" she used, let the listeners immediately understand the deep meaning of her words.

Negative Xue glanced at Xu Jiao, then frowned and said, "Don't talk nonsense, your eyes must be dazzled, don't scare the Princess."

Xu Jiao waved her hand, "Don't worry, I'm so brave, I won't be scared!" To tell the truth, she likes listening to ghost stories.

Negative snow glanced at her, obviously seeing the excitement in her eyes, she was a little speechless, she turned her head and looked around the environment, and also lifted up their hair and skirts at the same time as the wind blew. The hanging white flag fluttered lightly, and the incense candles in front of the coffin also flickered.

Such an environment is full of treachery in itself, if such a topic is mentioned again, it will inevitably make people feel hairy.

Negative Xue sighed, "You must be dazzled."

"My eyesight is good, how can I get dazzled?" Wen Tao was not convinced, "And I don't know how many ghosts and ghosts there are in this deep palace, and it's a place like the mourning hall. It's normal, okay..."?

The last word was cut off by a sudden scream.

That scream was particularly ear-piercing in this quiet night, which shocked several people in the hall, and they all felt creepy at the same time.

"Ghost...Ghost! There's a ghost!" At this moment, the scream came more and more clearly. Apart from the scream, there were also footsteps and stumbling sounds, all approaching this place.

Xu Jiao frowned slightly, then stood up and walked towards the outside of the hall.Negative Xue and Wen Tao glanced at each other, then hurriedly followed.

Outside the hall, the scream had startled many people. Two maidservants rushed over from a short distance, one staggered, and both fell to the ground. The blurred palace lantern in their hands fell to the ground. It licked and kissed from the inside, and after a while, the whole lantern was set on fire, and when the wind blew, it turned into ashes.

When Xu Jiao's three masters and servants came out of the hall, the two maidservants were still holding their heads and screaming. The people on duty in Fengxian Hall, as well as those who were resting in the side hall and the back hall were all alarmed and surrounded them one after another.

Then someone who knew the two maidservants came forward to help them.

"What's the matter?" Under the reflection of the palace lantern they were carrying, the two maidservants' faces were full of tears, and their complexions were pale. Maybe there were so many people at the moment, and they were afraid to go, and one of them raised his finger tremblingly. Towards the direction where they stumbled and ran just now, he said in a trembling voice, "There is... a ghost! It's over there!"

"It's true, we really saw it, we... we accidentally met the ghost's eyes. That face was distorted, and the two eyes were two blood holes, and the black blood flowed down , but still laughing at people..." The two maids were talking, thinking that they remembered the horrific scene again, and immediately trembled again, hugging each other like a sieve.

This is really an image, and there is silence everywhere.After a while, someone in the crowd whispered, "Actually, I saw it two nights ago. A white shadow floated past, but I didn't see it clearly, and I didn't dare to say anything..."

"Speaking of which, I saw it too..."

"I saw it just now, and I thought it was dizziness..."

"However, they are all around Fengxian Hall. Could it be the Queen Mother and her old man..."

"That's right, didn't you say it was black blood? If you said it was the Queen Mother, wouldn't you be right?"

"The empress dowager has a grudge in her heart..."

Everyone said something to each other, the more they talked, the more lively they became, the more they talked, the more they talked, and the more bold they said, they completely forgot that this place was in the palace and they were talking about royal affairs, their voices gradually became louder.

Standing on the periphery of the crowd, Xu Jiao didn't come close, but he saw and listened to the bustle and what those people said, and a smile flashed quietly in his eyes.

Her gaze inadvertently caught sight of a figure at the other end of the crowd, who did not know when it would arrive, how long it had been standing quietly, and how many times she had heard these words.

"Shut up all of us!" Gan Neishi hurriedly shouted as he watched Emperor Xian's face turn livid with those gossips.

The sharp voice suddenly slid past the ears, causing the lively crowd to stagnate suddenly. In the next moment, the faces of the people who watched, listened to, and talked about the excitement all changed in unison. all over the place.

Xu Jiao also blessed his body in response to the occasion, and stood quietly in the shadow under the eaves, acting as a silent shadow with peace of mind.

Attendant Gan Nei walked up with Emperor Xian, flicked the whisk in his hand, and continued to speak in a sharp voice without Emperor Xian speaking, "Who gave you the courage to tell the lengths of the Empress Dowager here? I'm afraid you all don't want to die. Bar?"

There was silence all around, and the two servant girls who were already terrified were even paler now, kneeling on the ground as if they had no strength, fell down a few times, and supported each other, barely stabilized, but trembled. It's like playing a pendulum.

Waiter Gan cursed again in a sharp voice, glanced at Emperor Xian who was still standing with his hands behind his back, with a livid face, and said, "Before the Empress Dowager dies, all of you should tighten your skins, if you still miss your neck Put that head on, it’s best to think of yourself as a gourd with a sawed mouth, if you hear similar words again, be careful with your skin.”

Everyone's faces were ugly, and they trembled and said yes.

Attendant Gan Nei glanced at Emperor Xian's expression, although it was subtle, but he was an old man who served by Emperor Xian's side, so he saw signs of relaxation, and hurriedly waved his hands and said, "Okay, it's all gone, what should I do? ..."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard a sound.

Although that sound was not a loud noise, the volume overwhelmed his shrill voice. Everyone was taken aback, and turned their heads to look at the source of the sound—it was the main hall of Fengxian Hall, where the Empress Dowager's mourning hall is located.

Everyone's faces changed slightly, Xu Jiao also turned his head to look over, raised his eyebrows slightly, no one knew better than her that there shouldn't be anyone in the hall at this moment.

So... where did this noise come from?

The ghost rumor just now made the whole night full of supernatural colors. Although the arrival of the emperor caused fear in everyone's hearts and temporarily interrupted the supernatural, but at this time, the strange noise from the mourning hall was still Let everyone's suppressed fear rise again.

Due to the presence of Emperor Xian and Gan Neishi, no one dared to express those speculations and fears, but Gu Pan's expression was already brought out a lot.

Even Gan Neishi, who had spoken with certainty just now, looked in the direction of the mourning hall with a trace of fear on his face.

Emperor Xian turned his head and looked in the direction of the mourning hall for a moment, then walked towards the mourning hall.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!" Gan Nei called hurriedly, a little hesitant, but had to follow, Xu Jiao paused for a moment, followed behind them, and went to the mourning hall together.And after them, there were still many people who wanted to see what happened.

There is no one in the mourning hall, but...

"Ah!" Someone screamed, pointing to the empress dowager tablet enshrined in front of the coffin, "It's... bleeding! There must be a ghost! It's... the empress dowager has appeared!"

"Shut up!" Emperor Xian opened his mouth for the first time since he appeared at this place tonight, gritted his teeth, and said two words with cruel intent.

Looking to the side behind, Kaneshi immediately understood, and drove everyone out, "Go out, talk too much here, and be careful to pull out your tongue immediately." At the gate of the hall, Kaneshi raised his eyes and looked towards Glance in a certain direction.

Originally standing under a tree, a man in black clothes who had been standing outside looked at him, nodded silently, then turned around and fled silently.

The waiter Gan Nei looked back and continued to push people away. Those palace people were intimidated by his few words, and they turned and left one after another. The originally noisy Fengxian Hall returned to its earlier silence.

Gan's attendant walked into the hall and reported to Emperor Xian, "Your Majesty, Chief Governor Chang has already brought people to investigate."

Emperor Xian nodded, then turned his eyes, looked at Xu Jiao who was always standing aside like a silent shadow, and said, "Yingyue is here to guard the spirit for Sister Huang?"

Xu Jiao nodded, "Mother is not feeling well today, she took medicine and rested, but she has been worried about this place, so I came here for her."

Emperor Xian nodded his head, his expression was kind, "Yingyue is a filial child, so, you go back first! I will stay here to watch the spirit tonight..."

Xu Jiao showed hesitation, but in the end it was because of Emperor Xian's majesty, he hesitated to answer "Yes" under his gaze, and then turned and retreated.

Arriving at the gate of the palace, Gan Neishi looked at her, she nodded her head, and kept walking, Gan Neishi passed her and entered the hall again.At this time, Xu Jiao slowed down a bit, turned his head and looked over, and saw Emperor Xian standing in front of the spirit, surrounded by white flags fluttering, candles were dimly lit, and that solitary back was also revealing an indescribable desolation... Xu Jiao His eyes flashed twice, he retracted his gaze, and walked out as if nothing had happened.

In the hall, Emperor Xian looked at the Empress Dowager's spiritual seat, his face was sinking like water, his eyes were so dark that even the candlelight couldn't see through, he said after a long time, "You go out too! I want to talk to the Empress Dowager, and no one is allowed to disturb her. "

"Yes." Gan Nei waited, turned and walked out, and then guarded the door himself.

Emperor Xian stared blankly at the bleeding tablet in front of the spirit for a moment, then knelt down, raised his head after a long while, and said in a hoarse voice, "Queen Mother, why... do you really have any complaints in your heart?"

Emperor Xian stayed in front of the spirit for a while, until Gan Neishi heard the news, came in bravely and said, "Your Majesty, it is... the Taimiao is on fire..."

"What's going on?" Emperor Xian suddenly raised his head in shock and asked sharply.

Gan's waiter shook his head lightly, "I'm still checking..."

But Emperor Xian couldn't listen anymore, he stood up suddenly and strode into the deep night outside the hall.Kane waiter hurriedly followed.

It was late at night, and the Fengxian Hall, which had been noisy for a long time, suddenly fell silent, and there was silence everywhere, only the tablet enshrined in front of the spirit stood there quietly, the bloodstains winding down from it were still there, in the dim candlelight It looks more and more mottled and weird...

The wind blows the flags, the whole hall is white, and a white ghost lightly falls from the beam. The moment it hits the ground, the wind blows under the feet and comes out through the window... The window is opened a crack, gently blowing in the night wind. Fanning, as for ghosts, lucky people may be able to see them, and then they will scream again and again...

In a hidden pavilion at the corner of Yuhu Lake, Xu Jiao took two maidservants and left Fengxian Hall, instead of returning directly to Anfu Palace, he came here.

It was late at night, but they didn't leave, but just sat in the cold wind with their sleeves folded, "Princess." Li Xue whispered in his ear.

Xu Jiao raised her head, and saw a black figure walking out of the dark night, walked over quickly, approached her, and bowed to her with folded fists.

"Senior brother, don't be too polite! I don't know what's going on?" Xu Jiao asked hastily. The person she calls senior brother can only be Chang Wu.

It's just that Chang Wu was still stiff because of this title, and then he said, "According to the princess's intention, our people secretly observed the movement of the guards when the incident broke out, and roughly locked down a few places, but after all? Where is it, I'm afraid I have to take a risk to explore again."

That's right, Xu Jiao was responsible for the haunting tonight. She wanted to find the whereabouts of Princess Huiming's mother and son, but she couldn't find a way, so she finally thought of such a way.If there is a ghost in the palace, Emperor Xian is suspicious, and he will definitely suspect that someone is a ghost, and even thinks that it is directed at Princess Huiming. When people are in critical situations, they will always subconsciously focus on the most important things at the moment. Therefore, where are the guards? At this time the most stringent, naturally, is where Princess Huiming is.

But Xu Jiao never thought that there are still several places like this.

"How many places?" Xu Jiao frowned, which one was the place she was looking for?
"Time is running out. I have already marked those places. The princess can take a look. It is best if you can determine where they are. If you can't..." Chang Wu didn't say the rest, Wen Lou Since he has expressed his position in secret, and he has a very close relationship with Princess Huiming, and now that Mo Chuohe is back, it is natural that the husband and wife will follow suit.They definitely want to save Princess Huiming, if they can't find out where Princess Huiming's mother and child are, I'm afraid there is only the last way left.

"It's too risky to search one place at a time." Xu Jiao shook her head subconsciously, took the topographic map handed over by Chang Wu, and read it hastily, even under the faint candlelight, she couldn't see it clearly. She glanced at it hastily, I didn't have a clue for a while, so I had to say, "I'll take it back and think about it first, and I will contact you later."

Chang Wu nodded, "Princess, be careful in everything." After finishing speaking, he turned around.

"Wait!" Xu Jiao stopped him, "Brother, has there been any news of A Shu these days?"

Before she entered the palace, he had said that he would find a way to enter the palace.He never just talked about anything, so many days have passed, but there is no news at all, he can't give up, and she thought about it, the best way for him to enter the palace is naturally Police guard.
