Royal daughter-in-law

Chapter 721 Adopting a daughter and recruiting a younger brother, privately offering sacrifices to the dead (4)
Concubine Xu Kang saw that her face was sluggish, her eye sockets were sunken, and her feet trembled slightly when she was standing, she said with concern: "Tomorrow is the anniversary of the death of Empress Dowager Xiaohui Shengzhuang Lie, the emperor attaches great importance to this matter, Concubine Hui will get Pull yourself together and get well soon."

"You don't want to be my palace, but recently I don't know if it's because the assistant harem is too hard. I always feel tired, restless, sleep lightly, and dream when I fall asleep." The baby girl made a fuss and sighed.

Concubine Xu Kang looked left and right, dismissed all the palace people in the room, leaned closer, and lowered her voice: "Concubine Hui has always been in a solid body, since she entered the Eastern Palace, for so many years, she has not even survived the wind and heat, and now she suddenly Concubine Hui doesn't think it's a bit weird when it comes out?"

Jiang Yu had been mentally unsteady these days, seeing her babbling, her heart tightened: "What do you mean by that?"

Concubine Xu Kang's face looked very serious, and when the room quieted down, her tone was a bit creepy: "Concubine Hui, don't you think it's haunted by ghosts?" Looking around again, it seems that there is something unclean in Tongguang Palace thing.

"What nonsense are you talking about! If I don't do anything wrong with my heart, what kind of ghosts can haunt me!" Jiang Yu screamed in shock.

Concubine Xu Kang's expression was somewhat meaningful: "In a few days, Empress Jiang's death is on the verge of death. You happen to be at this time... Do you think it has something to do with Empress Jiang?" Don't do anything wrong?Forgot so quickly that I pulled my aunt off the horse and hurt my aunt?
These words expressed Jiang Yu's uneasiness early in the morning. Thinking of the crested hairpin, her face turned pale. Could it be true? Could it be that my aunt really came back on the day of her death, and the crested golden hairpin was my aunt Traces of being here?

Immediately, she felt cold all over.

My aunt's fate was miserable, and I couldn't get rid of it. It could even be said that it was my own rebellion that caused it. With her narrow-mindedness and her intolerant temperament, if she really came back, she would definitely turn into a ghost to take revenge. Could it be that she was really killed by that aunt? Entangled?Thinking of it this way, goosebumps all over Jiang Yu's body stood up.

She calmed down and tried her best: "I don't believe in these things! Even if there are ghosts, I am not afraid! I am a majestic concubine in the harem, and there is a dragon aura around me. What ghost dares to approach me?" Even though he said so, his tone was already Trembling.

"Concubine Hui remembers the concubines of the past dynasties, many of whom were killed by ghosts. Take the famous nephew of the empress of the Tang Dynasty and the former mother-in-law of Concubine Yang Guifei, Concubine Wu, who became the heir apparent for her son, and killed the prince and two concubines. The prince, just before ascending to the throne, he was entangled by the ghosts of three princes. Every night, he couldn’t turn on the lamps in the palace, and he didn’t have more than a dozen palace guards by his bedside. Concubine, how high-spirited and high-spirited she was at first, she was so favored by the emperor, but in the end she was scared to death. I am not trying to scare you, but your situation is similar to that of Concubine Wu. I have to remind you, don't take it lightly , Think about it, when Empress Jiang killed Concubine Yuan, if she was not afraid that her ghost would come back for revenge, how could she use that kind of feng shui formation to suppress her?" Concubine Xu Kang's voice trembled slightly.

Jiang Yu was confused by Concubine Xu Kang's words. She slipped her hand and hit the hard mahogany table without feeling the pain. Her face was pale and bloodless, and she was not as tough as before. She grabbed Concubine Kang's wrist: "Then what? Let’s do it, tell me, how about inviting a Taoist priest to the palace to drive away ghosts?”

Concubine Xu Kang sighed: "If I want to tell you personally, you have to find the source and take the right medicine to cure the root cause. If it's true that Empress Jiang's resentment is incomprehensible, and she drove it away this time, I'm afraid there will be another time. You will always have a pimple in your heart."

"It's a joke, my aunt is dead, how can I find the source? Could it be that I asked her to go to the underworld to kowtow to admit her mistake, and beg her to forgive me and stop pestering me?!" Jiang Yu's body was like a sieve.

"If you don't go to the underworld to kowtow, you can personally apologize and express your sincerity in the underworld!" Concubine Xu Kang said, "It will soon be Empress Jiang's death taboo. You see, the emperor only cares about Concubine Yuan's taboo, and doesn't care about Empress Jiang. How could Empress Jiang not have much resentment?! I want my concubine to say that this kind of matter should be done sooner rather than later. You go to Fengzao Palace today to burn more papers, kowtow a few more times, and say something nice. It's okay, when I was in my mother's house in the past, my younger siblings had a high fever, and my parents burned some paper money for my ancestors, it would be really good, I would rather believe it."

Jiang Yu was stunned, and murmured: "The Emperor hates Auntie to death, and now it's the anniversary of Concubine Yuan's death. I deliberately promoted Concubine Yuan and suppressed Auntie. I went against the Emperor's wishes and went to burn money and kowtow to Auntie as a sacrifice, Your Majesty." Don't kill me."

"Concubine Hui is confused, so naturally I have to do it in private," Concubine Xu Kang conspired, "It's definitely not possible in broad daylight, it's best to go alone at night, but you must avoid people's eyes and ears, and don't be seen."

Jiang Yu's thoughts were lively, but she scolded: "How can this be done? It's against the rules to sacrifice the dead privately in the palace, let alone the emperor's eyes. If Concubine Kang doesn't come up with such bad ideas, the emperor will definitely scold me. Bengong Even if you are haunted by ghosts, you will not do such a thing.”

"Yes, yes, I won't mention it any more." Concubine Xu Kang hurriedly said.

After saying a few words, Jiang Yu seemed very tired, Concubine Xu Kang watched her words and did not stay long, told her to take a good rest and left first.

Although Concubine Kang's people had left, the words lingered. The more Jiang Yu thought about it, the more sinister the room was, and when she thought about the things that Concubine Kang mentioned about the previous dynasty, it was not nonsense, and she felt that her toes were so cold In my heart, I suddenly called out.

The confidant maid came over in a hurry: "What's the matter, Your Majesty?"

"Prepare Mingqian incense candles," Jiang Yu gritted her teeth, "Don't let people find out! Bengong will go out alone at night."

"Where is the empress going? Aren't the servants following you?"

"No, you just have to tell the outside world." The less people know about this, the better, Jiang Yu was categorical.

The palace at night fell into silence.

Tomorrow is the day to offer sacrifices to Empress Dowager Yuan of Xiaohui Shengzhuang Lie. Tonight is even more solemn. Except for the footsteps of patrolling guards, all the palaces are quiet.

The side door of Fengzao Palace.A slender figure in trembling clothes carried a bundle of Mingqian candles and slipped in the door.

In the huge Fengzao Palace, apart from the main gate, there was an old and dim-eyed eunuch. There was no one inside. Weeds in the courtyard were overgrown and lifeless. The emperor had never been well repaired after he ascended the throne.

Jiang Yu bravely entered the palace, found a place in the corner of the palace courtyard where outsiders could not see the fire, burned the paper money, shook hands while burning, and said: "Aunt, if it weren't for you, you would only use me Let me have a child, how can I do that kind of thing in a fit of anger? I am cowardly, so please don't look for me again...I know that since the emperor ascended the throne, there has been no good life to respect you, and even the date of death is deliberately not I'll take care of it for you, but you see, I'm here in person today, so I'll burn some paper money for you, so that you can be rich on the road to hell, if you have nothing to do, you can invest in a good family as soon as possible, and enjoy yourself, why bother me What? Seeing that I know my mistakes and can correct them, and I am still filial to you, please forgive me this time..." As he spoke, he took out the relic of Empress Jiang from his bosom and turned it hastily waist, and put it in the gate of the palace: "I'll return this crested gold hairpin to you, Auntie, don't look for me again!"
