Empress, she is rising step by step

Chapter 60 Haunted (please vote)

Yes, the master agreed to help. But the mistress is just a concubine, and she cannot influence the emperor's opinion. Whether the emperor spares Cao Baolin or not depends on the emperor himself. Master, all you have to do is show off.

If Cao Baolin's life is saved, he will not have any objection to his master.

Zhuying couldn't help but feel that her thinking was too simplistic. She pouted, "Just tell me, I'm stupid."

That night, Zhu Ci's sleep was not peaceful. She dreamed of Lu Zheng. She was lying in a pool of blood, her eyes were bleeding, and she opened her dark mouth and roared at her.

Kneeling next to her was a child covered in blood and with two heads, whimpering and crying towards her.

The screen turned and Qian Shuang's face appeared. The nails and tongue on her hands had been pulled out, there were scars all over her body, and her hands and feet were shackled.

"Zhu Ci, you have made me suffer so much. Do you know the day I was born? They took off my nails and my tongue and tortured you day and night."

"But you became the master all of a sudden, with unlimited glory. Why? Zhu Ci, you have to die a good death. One day you will also receive retribution."

The sound of rain became louder and louder, roaring thunder rolled in from the distance, and lightning exploded over the palace.

The wind squeezed in through the gap between the windows, blowing a hoarse whisper, as if someone was whimpering.

Zhu Ci suddenly woke up from her sleep. She sat up and gasped for air. She was covered in cold sweat that wet her white undershirt, sticking to her body with a sticky and cold feel.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu isuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Zhu Ci vaguely heard a baby crying, and the sound was getting closer and closer, as if it was very close at hand.

Click! "A bolt of lightning struck down along with the thunder, reflecting Zhu Ci's face as pale as paper.

She saw a figure floating past the window, and then something seemed to flash behind her.

Even though Zhu Ci was a staunch atheist in his previous life, he couldn't help but feel a little numb now.

There are layers of curtains hanging in the bedroom, embroidered with exquisite patterns of flowers and birds. The wind blowing from nowhere raised the curtains hanging from the ground.

Zhu Ci vaguely saw a person standing at the end of the curtain, but it was not clear. Her whole body was tense, and she secretly told herself not to be afraid. There were no such things as ghosts and gods in this world.

"Who is where? Zhuying, Cuilan?"

Zhu Ci called out, but no one answered. She lifted the quilt and pulled out the hosta from her hair, and her black hair instantly fell down.

She held the hairpin in her hand tightly, pulled on her shoes and pushed aside the layers of curtains. There was nothing outside.

Zhu Ci couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Maybe it was because of her random thoughts at night that she had a dream and hallucinated.

She turned around, just as a bolt of lightning struck. She suddenly saw a bloodless little face appearing in front of her eyes, which was covered with blood and glowed with a strange green color.

"Ah!!!" Zhu Ci screamed, and the expression on his face was instantly replaced by panic, and he backed away in fear.

The ghost face approached step by step, "Woohoo, what do you want me to harm me. I am innocent, I'm so lonely under the ground alone, can you accompany me, okay ..." I wish Ci all over my body Her hair stood on end, and she forced herself to calm down. There were no candles lit in the room, and there was no moonlight. She could only vaguely see a ghost floating around in front of her eyes.

"Oh, I don't care who you are, so stop pretending to be a ghost with me here. I don't believe in any ghosts and gods in this world. I didn't harm you, but your biological mother wanted to harm me. Whoever harmed you, you go to settle the account with!"

Zhu Ci sternly said: "You have become a ghost. It's pity that the Lord of Hell didn't tell you, who actually harmed you mother and son? I think you are pretending to be a person, and you are deliberately trying to be mysterious here. I want to see who you are." !”

As she spoke, Zhu Ci quickly raised her hand holding the hosta and stabbed it forward. Then she heard a muffled groan, and the ghost flashed and burst out of the door.

The wind brought in the rain, and Zhu Ci's long hair was blown up randomly. There was nothing else outside except the heavy rain and the blowing trees.

Xiao Yinzi and Zhuying hurried in with pale faces, and were shocked to see Zhu Ci standing barefoot.

"Master, what's wrong with you? I just saw a white shadow coming out of your house. Are you okay?"

Xiao Yinzi hurriedly lit the candle and went back to close the door.

The room suddenly became as bright as day, and Zhu Ci felt a little uncomfortable for a moment. She raised her head to block it.

"I'm fine, it's just haunted."

"Haunted?" Xiao Yinzi and Zhuying looked at each other.

"It turns out that I was right inside the house just now. I always felt that there were shadows floating around outside the window, and I could also vaguely hear the whimpering sounds of women and babies. I thought it was the wind blowing, but I didn't expect that the master had really met him. 'Ghost'. The slave really deserves to die, he should have been guarded outside, and the master was frightened."

Xiao Yinzi reached out and slapped himself twice on the face, and Zhu Cini glanced at him.

"It doesn't matter what happened to you, why would you do such a heavy hand on yourself? Even if you stay vigil outside, the ghost will still come."

Zhuying has always been timid. After listening to what Zhu Ci and Xiao Yinzi said, she felt like someone was staring at her from behind, and she swallowed nervously.

"Master, are there really ghosts in this world? But you have never harmed the deer queen and the child in her belly."

"There are ghosts in this world. But that ghost was not sent by the Lord of Hell to take my life. It was someone deliberately pretending to scare me. They thought I had killed the child in Lu Yunv's womb, and they wanted to use it to scare me. This scares me. I’m not even afraid of people. I’m afraid of what ghosts can do. The human heart is much scarier than ghosts.”

Zhu Ci snorted coldly and raised the jade hairpin in his hand. The sharp end of the hairpin was stained with a little blood.

"Look, I just stabbed that ghost with a hairpin. If it was really a ghost, how could it be hurt by a mortal like me, let alone be injured?"

Zhuying and Xiaoyinzi took a closer look and it was true. Xiao Yinzi couldn't help but admire Zhu Ci. He originally thought that his master was just lucky enough to become the emperor's concubine.

Now it seems that the master has some courage that is rare for women. If he were to come face to face with that ghost, he would be so scared that he would pee his pants, and he would not dare to step forward at all. The master, a weak woman, actually attacked that 'ghost'.

"Everyone in the world is in awe of ghosts. They think that the master is timid and not frightened, but they don't see that the master is as courageous as a man. But this idea is really evil. I heard that there was a victim in the past. The beloved concubine was so frightened by the ghost that she lost her mind and went crazy, and has been left out in the cold ever since. I just don’t know who did it.”
