Chapter 147

Yu Cixin is no stranger to the roads in the palace, but she is not sure which places are guarded and which are not.Moreover, she was wearing night clothes, and she did not enter the palace as usual, so she should not be exposed in front of the guards.

So, she could only move forward by groping, but fortunately she knew where Leng Gong was.

Before going to Lenggong, Yu Cixin passed by a courtyard, which was a place where the corpses of court ladies and eunuchs who were executed for committing crimes were specially parked.Generally speaking, the bodies of those court ladies and eunuchs would be dragged out of the palace gate and buried at dawn the next day, that is, at five o'clock.

Yesterday she entered the palace at Chenshi, and then went to Qingwei Palace to settle accounts with Yang Yuqing. Her maid Jingyue played the "Flying Fire and Flying Immortal Qin" when she died in the middle of the hour. Later, Yang Yuqing was demoted, and Jingyue's body Xiao Anzi ordered people to carry him out.If Yucixin's guess is correct, Jingyue is now in the yard in front of her.

Gently opened the gate of the yard, and a soft "creak" sound woke up the old eunuch who was guarding the gate inside.

The eunuch's name was Kui Yuan, and people called him Eunuch Kui.Because of his old age, other palaces thought he was too honest and didn't know how to be flexible, so he had nowhere to go, so he was arranged to look after the corpse in this yard, dealing with the dead every day.

"Who?" Eunuch Kui sat under an old locust tree in the small courtyard, leaning against the locust tree and staring at the direction of the door. He saw the door of the small courtyard opening little by little, but he couldn't see anyone outside. , and asked aloud.

This small courtyard was originally a morgue, and generally no one would come, especially after midnight.At this time, he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening, and Eunuch Kui jumped. After waiting for several minutes, no one came in from the outside, nor did he hear anyone speak. He cheered himself up, saying that he 'has never done anything wrong in his life, so naturally he is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door'.

When he got to the door, Grandpa Kui poked his head out to have a look, and found that there was no one outside the door. He thought it was the wind that had blown the door open, so he let go of his nervousness and fear, and then pulled up the two doors and closed them.When he turned around, he saw standing in front of him a mummified corpse that had been included at noon the day before. It was said that it was Jingyue, the dowry maid of Concubine Qing before she was demoted.He was quite surprised at the time, and wondered how this man died. There were no scars on his body, but he died wrapped in clothes and turned into a mummy, which made people feel weird.

At that time, the guards who brought the corpse didn't want to talk to him, so they just threw the mummy in the yard and ran away. It was Eunuch Kui who dragged her there and put her in the morgue over there.Now this corpse suddenly appeared in front of him, and the withered face was looking at him face to face. Even though he had dealt with corpses for many years, he couldn't help but rolled his eyes in shock and fell to the ground.

Yu Cixin's head poked out from behind Jingyue's mummy, looked at Eunuch Kui who fell on the ground, laughed "hehe" twice, and then left the small mortuary yard with Jingyue's body, until Go to the cold palace.

Not long after Yu Cixin left here, a few hidden guards appeared beside the fainted Eunuch Kui, sniffed his breath, and found that she was just fainted from fright, so they didn't care where he fell.

"Boss, what do you think the princess is doing with that corpse? Wouldn't she be afraid as a woman?" One of the comforters asked Yuan Qi, who was chasing them at the gate of the palace. The dark guard, looking at the corpse in Yu Cixin's hand, was also trembling in his heart.

"You'll know if you follow up and have a look?" Yuan Qi was also puzzled when asked by his subordinates, but he didn't show it.The master asked him to follow the princess to protect her at all times, instead of interfering and asking what the princess was doing.If there is no danger, he and a group of hidden guards can watch from a distance, although he is also curious about what the princess will do next.

In the past, the master told him that the princess had changed, but he still didn’t believe it. Now he has been with the princess for less than a day. He watched her come out of the mansion, and watched her climb over the high palace wall in two or three times. Watching her scare others with the dead body, I don't know what scary things I will do when I see her for a while!

Compared with the past, the change of Princess Yunxin like this can be described as earth-shaking, but it is much more pleasing to the eye than before.

Thinking of this, Yuan Qi suppressed his curiosity and led the hidden guards to follow.

During the day, he was the one who reported to Shangguan Ye everything that happened to Yu Cixin in the palace. He thought that she would stop when she made Yang Yuqing demoted and relegated to the cold palace. He would climb over the wall and enter the palace to steal the body of Jingyue who has not been processed and head towards the cold palace, obviously not planning to let Yang Yuqing go.

Seeing Yucixin dragging Jingyue's body into the cold palace, and easily finding the room where Yang Yuqing lived, Yuan Qi called the hidden guards to come closer and each find a hidden place to hide, and then take a look How on earth is she going to deal with people?

Fortunately, after becoming a mummy, Jingyue is very light, and she can drag it effortlessly.She also knew exactly who was following behind her, anyway, she didn't mind them following, if she did, she would have thrown them away when she went out.

This Lenggong sounds good as Lenggong, but it is actually a dilapidated small courtyard built in the imperial palace, which is specially used as a place for the harem concubines to meditate on their past.Before Yang Yuqing came here, no one lived in it, but now it's here, and it happened to be her.

Because she was relegated to common people, her concubine position and titles were all gone, so Yang Yuqing no longer had a palace maid to serve her, except for three meals a day, she had to do everything by herself.

She used to be the eldest daughter of the Yang family, and was loved by her parents and family. She never did anything except eating and sleeping.After entering the palace and being favored by Yu Wenli, she didn't need to do it herself, so she was completely ignorant of external affairs, and she didn't even know how to light a fire in the kitchen, let alone boil water for a bath.

Ever since she was brought into the cold palace, the maids guarding her would never come to see her, let alone do her any favors, except for serving her every meal.Therefore, she can only rely on herself.

In order to take a hot bath, Yang Yuqing has been tossing in the kitchen for a long time today.Not only did the fire fail to start, but because of a mistake, it burned off half of the hair she had carefully cared for and blistered her scalp, scaring her so much that she never dared to enter the kitchen or start a fire again.

She was angry and anxious, thinking that Yu Cixin, who had harmed her to such a degree, was still at ease in the Nine Thousand Years Mansion, she wished she could escape from the Leng Palace immediately and chop her into pieces to relieve her hatred.

But she couldn't get out here, so she could only hope that her son would perform well in front of the emperor, win the position of prince, and then take herself out from here.

No longer thinking about the problem of taking a hot bath, she fetched half a bucket of water from the well in the cold palace, tidied up her appearance a bit, and then went back to the house and lay down on the bed to get ready for sleep.

However, how could she, who has always been pampered and pampered, adapt to such a hard bed, the musty smelling bedding, and her scorched hair, she just tossed and turned on the bed without falling asleep.After finally falling asleep, she heard rustling noises from outside, which made her frown in displeasure.

Pulling the quilt over her head, she wanted to continue sleeping, but the voice moved from far to near, as if it didn't take long to reach her bedside.

Yang Yuqing pulled back the quilt, opened her eyes, and saw a dark figure sitting beside her bed, shriveled and thin, she didn't look like a person, she was so startled that she sat up all of a sudden, scared shrinking towards the corner of the bed.
