Concubine Chang Sturdy: Overwhelming His Majesty Du Meng

Chapter 37 The Strange Dead Event

Not long after, Liuli brought a group of maids to present the dishes. The efficiency and extravagance made Hao Mei feel heartbroken, but this time it was all because the emperor was here.

"How did you arrange those beauties?" Hao Mei tilted her head and asked, her seemingly casual expression was mixed with some unknown emotions.

Shangguan Ran had expected that Hao Mei would ask this question, so he smiled gently, stretched out his hand and touched her head, "Don't worry, I have arranged them in a remote place, so that you will be out of sight and out of mind in the future."

Hao Mei felt better after hearing him say this, "I can tell you, if you let me see what you have with those women, don't blame me for being rude."

After all, she opened her eyes wide and made an expression that she thought was very fierce.

"Ding." The piercing voice interrupted the words of the two, and they turned their heads almost at the same time to look at the place where the voice came from.

The palace maid knelt on the ground in horror, "Slaves should be damned for disturbing the emperor and empress."

The palace maid trembled in fright, "It's all right, you can go down."

Hao Mei naturally didn't care about these things, and waved her away.The maid quickly thanked her and stood up from the ground, but when she looked at Hao Mei, she looked away as quickly as she was frightened.Then turn around quickly and leave as fast as possible.

Hao Mei looked at this scene in astonishment, and immediately pointed at herself, "Am I so scary? Or did I scare her by saying something?"

I was just a joke to intimidate Shangguanran just now, it shouldn't be so powerful, and she must have done something bad.

"Let's eat, these are what you like to eat." Shangguanran didn't take what happened just now to heart at all, picked up the chopsticks and picked a piece of meat for Hao Mei very carefully.

It was rare for the two to eat together, Hao Mei dismissed everyone, and Shangguan was much more at ease without covering his face with a veil.

"Your Majesty, just now a court lady came to return the jade pendant and said that you threw it in their master's bedroom." Liuli hurried in from the outside, regardless of whether the people inside agreed or not.

Jade pendant?master?Hao Mei turned her head to look at Shangguanran in doubt, with suspicion in her eyes, "What's going on?"

Those who can be called masters are probably those beauties who have just come in. Shangguanran said before that there is no past, and now there are court ladies coming to return the jade pendant.

"Mei'er, listen to my explanation, things are not what you think." Shangguan Ran said nervously.

Seeing him like this, Hao Mei understood, she waved her hand immediately, and said: "You don't need to explain anything, I think I can guess it, those beauties and jade pendants are fake, but it's true that you want to see the emperor."

With a cold face, she didn't even intend to give Shangguanran a chance to explain, "I'm full, I'm going to rest, please come back, Your Majesty."

After finishing speaking, he got up and walked towards the back room, leaving Shangguanran alone.

"Hey, why don't you believe me so much?" Shangguan Ran looked helpless, but he just shook his head and sighed. Seeing Hao Mei like this, he probably wouldn't be able to listen to what she said, so he didn't stop anymore and Shangguan got up and left.

"Bastard!" Hao Mei gritted her teeth, her eyes were full of anger, and she stared at Shangguanran's back.

The maid serving at the side took a step back in fright, lowering her head and not daring to look at Hao Mei.

It was night, and the entire palace fell into silence, and the sporadic lights shone strangely in the palace.Yuxiu Pavilion, this is where the beauties live.

It is considered remote in the entire palace, and few people come here on weekdays.

A group of women gathered together, looking at each other in the light.

"It is said that this is the most evil place in the imperial palace, and it is often haunted by ghosts!" The woman in red opened her eyes wide and lowered her voice deliberately, but the effect of doing so was to make the others scream.

"Hongzi, don't scare me here, this is the place where the emperor lives, so there's nothing wrong with it." On the side, the woman in yellow glanced at her mouth disdainfully, and didn't take her words to heart at all. .

The woman named Hongzi glanced at her, pretending she didn't hear anything, and continued: "Don't believe me, if you go out at this time, you may be haunted by ghosts. You don't know how you will die then."

"We won't go out, we won't go out." The timid ones hugged each other a long time ago, their whole bodies trembling because of fear.

"I'm going out for a walk." The woman in yellow sneered, with the same disdainful look in her eyes, she had already walked out before the others could recover.

Hongzi shook her head, and didn't care about the dissatisfaction on her expression, "Come on, I'll continue talking to you..."

Throughout the night, Yuxiu Pavilion was shrouded in a strange atmosphere, and all the women gathered together to listen to the woman who changed into red and purple tell them about those ghosts.

A crisp cock crow suddenly sounded, and those women shivered almost at the same time.

"Dawn." A cautious voice came from the crowd.

"The ghost didn't show up."

Everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, for some reason they felt like they were alive after a catastrophe.

"Is she back?"

"Who?"

The nerves that had just been relaxed were raised again. The woman in yellow who left last night never came back, and an ominous premonition shrouded everyone's hearts.

"Go out and look for it." Hongzi was relatively calm, stood up and walked out of the room first.

"Ah!" A sharp cry came out of her mouth immediately.

Everyone looked at her suspiciously, but screamed unanimously.

On the opposite side, the woman in yellow from last night was lying on the ground in a strange posture, staring straight at the room with wide-open eyes, her complexion distorted to the extreme.

"do you died?"

"Go and tell the emperor."

The person was indeed dead, but the death was very strange, not a single drop of blood flowed down, but only half of the blood remained on his body.Looking at that expression, it seems that he was greatly stimulated before he died, so he was distorted like this.

Shangguanran rushed over immediately after hearing the news, and Hu Meiniang was also with him, but anyone who saw the dead woman in yellow felt chills in his heart.

"Your Majesty, there are ghosts in this room, please let us move out." A group of beauties knelt on the ground, the panic on their faces did not disappear.

Shangguan frowned, but felt that it was very troublesome. He might believe that there were ghosts, but it was impossible that there were ghosts in the palace. Now the murderer has left no clues, and there is no way to investigate.

"The death is very strange, but I can be sure that it was not killed by any ghost." Hu Meiniang took a step forward.

Shangguan nodded, but did not question her words, "I will send someone to investigate this matter, there are no ghosts here, you can live here with peace of mind, don't go out and run around at night."

After finishing speaking, he turned and left without waiting for the group of women to reply.
