Good morning Mr. Zhongtang

Chapter 29

When Tong Wanrou woke up from the darkness, the first thing she saw was the heroic and elegant face of a virtuous man. Her eyes were full of worry, and she was sitting on the edge of the soft couch, applying a towel for Tong Wanrou.

"You woke up, how are you feeling?"

Tong Wanrou sat up from the soft couch in a daze, and wanted to get out of bed, but was stopped by the virtuous person:

"You just woke up, lie down."

Tong Wanrou had no choice but to sit on the bed and cast a grateful glance at the nobleman, and then whispered: "Thank you nobleman."

The virtuous man stood up from the side of the soft couch, and turned away from the left and right, leaving only her maid who was serving close to her. After everyone had left, she turned around and asked Tong Wanrou:
"You saw it too, didn't you?"

After Tong Wanrou heard this, she suddenly raised her eyes and looked at the virtuous person. The horrified scene seemed to be reappearing in her terrified eyes. Tong Wanrou bit her jaw and nodded calmly. After a while, she came out. voice asked:
"What I saw...was it a ghost?"

The virtuous man shook his head, and said calmly, "I don't know, there is too much resentment in this palace, and I can no longer tell who is a human and who is a ghost."

Tong Wanrou looked at the appearance of the virtuous man, and knew that she was definitely not the only one who saw the terrifying scene. This phenomenon must have happened before she came to the palace, so the virtuous man asked her Say 'you saw that too'?
"That thing only appeared after I was pregnant. I have seen it two or three times. Others in the palace have seen it too, so I have changed several batches of maidservants and eunuchs here, and no one wants to come to my place. The Shuiyun Palace is said to be unclean..."

Tong Wanrou looked at the devastated appearance of the virtuous man, and felt distressed in her heart. If her mother-in-law and Fu Heng knew that her sister lived such a life of fear and suffering in the palace, how sad it would be.

Seeing Tong Wanrou's sympathetic eyes, the virtuous man couldn't help laughing like self-deprecating, lowered his head and stroked his still flat belly and said:

"I really want to ask my natal family for help when I have nowhere to go. It may not be you. After all, you and Heng'er are newly married, and it is the time when the two are in love with each other. However, you don't know that the mansion sent me to choose. Who are they?"

Tong Wanrou sat on the soft couch and didn't speak, thinking that before her, the Fucha family did select five or six candidates, and let the virtuous person choose for themselves, and then the virtuous person didn't like it, so they appointed her to enter the palace.

"All of them are the tallest, most beautiful and juicy girls in the family. They are all sisters of my clan. What are they doing? I am facing enemies in the palace, but they only think about the honor of the family. If the emperor does not draft, they just want to pass In my way, I will send more daughters into the palace to consolidate the status of the family, and it is best to replace me when I am pregnant and unable to serve the king, hmph."

It was only then that Tong Wanrou realized that there was a relationship between them.No wonder there was a lot of traffic outside the Fucha mansion in those few days, and some clan elders came to visit one after another. They wanted to take this opportunity to send their daughters to the palace.

The virtuous man took a deep breath, and then said to Tong Wanrou:
"So, I can only choose you. I hope that neither you nor Heng'er will hold grudges against me. I really... have nowhere to go."

"..."

Tong Wanrou looked at this woman who was strong and plain on the outside, but deeply trapped in unknown fear in her heart, and thought, if it was Fu Heng, after hearing what his sister said to him, what would he do? Go to stand with his sister.

Thinking of this, Tong Wanrou felt an unprecedented momentum in her heart. No matter how terrifying the unknown road ahead was, she would definitely replace Fu Heng and protect his sister.

Silently walked down from the soft couch, came to the virtuous person, knelt down to her, and said:

"Sister, please rest assured that my sister-in-law is fine. Before my sister-in-law entered the palace, my husband-in-law told me that everything should be done according to my sister's lead. My sister-in-law is not talented enough, but I am willing to do my best for my sister and live up to my husband-in-law's entrustment." .”

The virtuous man was relieved to hear Tong Wanrou call his sister, he quickly helped her up, and said to her:

"My mother is right, you are a good person. Fu Heng is also blessed."

"..."

After Tong Wanrou stepped off the soft couch, she didn't intend to continue to be coquettish, and quickly forced herself to calm down, trying not to think about that terrifying ghost.

Everyone in the Shuiyun Palace was in danger because of her seeing a ghost. Many court ladies came to her directly and told her that they did not want to watch the night anymore. The crying faces were not sincerely causing trouble for her, but Is really afraid.

After Tong Wanrou told this matter to the virtuous person, the virtuous person just smiled and said lightly:
"If you don't keep it, don't keep it. Anyway, after such a long time, the ghost image is just to scare me, and I dare not do anything else."

After Tong Wanrou walked out of the hall, she felt strange in her heart, if that grimace was a real ghost, then why did it appear after the virtuous man was pregnant?For such a long time, she only appeared to scare people occasionally, but she didn't dare to do anything close to the virtuous person. She grew so big outside the palace, let alone a real ghost face, but she had never even seen a ghost shadow. As soon as he entered the palace, he was born to meet a ghost in the Shuiyun Palace?
Walking to the water corridor around the palace, looking at the rippling lake, I don't think the lake is beautiful and beautiful, but I feel that under the deep water of the pool, there seems to be a ferocious beast lurking. meaning.

Not far away, several court ladies were kneeling to the railing of the water corridor, and each of them held a lighted incense stick in their hands. Although Tong Wanrou entered the palace not long ago, she also knew that burning incense and paper to worship is not allowed in the palace. The maids were afraid that they were really frightened, so they knelt down here secretly.

Tong Wanrou entered the palace for more than ten days, and became the aunt in charge of the Shuiyun Palace like an airborne soldier. She wore the uniforms issued by the palace uniformly. Looking immature, quite majestic.

She walked to the other side of the water corridor, leaned quietly on the railing, watched the behavior of those maids from afar, and did not disturb them, after all, they did nothing, but just for peace of mind, no matter who she was, she No matter what you say, it is impossible to give them the sense of security of being blessed by the Buddha, so she will not interrupt them.

It is said that the Shuiyun Palace was specially built by the first emperor for a favorite concubine to live in. When the first emperor was in power, the cost was quite frugal. This palace, which was above the water out of thin air, cost a lot of silver back then. The construction of the palace is also very particular about the materials used in the palace, but as far as the nine winding corridors are concerned, all the high-quality pine wood from the extreme north is used.

Thousands of years of high maple, ten thousand years of water pine, the world's good wood will rot when exposed to water, only this pine wood is the most waterproof and moisture-proof, coupled with the ingenious polishing of the craftsman, it is as smooth as silk in the hand.

Tong Wanrou also thought about whether the people in the Shuiyun Temple were playing tricks on this matter, and told the virtuous person this idea, the virtuous person pondered for a moment and said:
"I also know that it's man-made, but there are no more than 30 people serving in the Shuiyun Palace. I asked Nanny Gui to check the background information of these [-] people, and I didn't think anyone was weird. So, I I am sure that this matter will not be done by the people in the palace."

Tong Wanrou sighed: "If it's not someone from the palace, who could it be? The Shuiyun Palace is surrounded by water on three sides, and the only nine-curved corridor leading to the shore is also completely exposed. It's not easy for people from the outside to sneak in."

After finishing speaking, Nanny Gui, who was standing beside the virtuous man, also showed doubts:
"Yes, this Shuiyun Palace was specially rewarded by the emperor after the nobleman became pregnant. Originally, we lived in the Yonghe Palace with Concubine Rou. The emperor was considerate of the nobleman's quietness, so he moved the nobleman here. It stands to reason that this is I am protecting our nobles, after all, the place beyond the water surface is even more terrifying than here, and the emperor wants the nobles to stay away because he wants the nobles to have peace of mind, but unexpectedly, these dirty things happened."

Tong Wanrou looked at Nanny Gui, and knew that she had been serving the virtuous and noble since she was a child, and she was regarded as the nanny of the virtuous and noble. When the noble married, she did not ask for a maid to accompany her as a dowry. She only asked for this nanny from the Fucha Mansion, and followed her all the way into the palace. The most trustworthy old man.

Her words raised a thought in Tong Wanrou's mind, thinking of the secret tricks used by concubine Qi to find the nobleman to seek unfavorable luck that day, and wondered if this ghost image was also a means of fighting for favor among concubines.

Having said that, the virtuous man sighed faintly: "I guessed it too, but I don't know who is behind it, this ghost comes and goes without a trace, I asked Nanny Gui to search all over the Shuiyun Palace but couldn't find it." Clues."

An idea flashed in Tong Wanrou's mind: "Could it be that she swam from the water?"

The virtuous man and Nanny Gui looked at each other, and Nanny Gui immediately denied it: "How could it be possible to swim from the water? Our Shuiyun Temple is located in the middle of the lake. The lake is at least ten feet wide. Let alone ordinary people If you don’t have this water quality, even if you really have this water quality, you don’t have this energy.”

But Tong Wanrou felt that the possibility was very high, and insisted: "What if someone really has this energy and water quality? Before I entered the palace, I saw some fishermen jumping in the water and staying out of the water for a long time. If this person If you have this ability, then it all makes sense.”

"..." The virtuous man lowered his eyes and thought for a while, with his palms always protecting his belly, he said sadly to Tong Wanrou:
"Even if this is the case, we don't have the manpower to guard the water day and night. The most taboo thing in the palace is the words of ghosts. Long Live Lord never believes in such strange powers. If I use this to disturb Shengjia, I will Calling people to criticize Much Ado About Nothing.”

Tong Wanrou knew what a virtuous person meant.

After all, these are just their conjectures, and there is no real evidence to put in front of the Long Live Lord. Even if they have obtained the order of the Long Live Lord and sent guards to guard them day and night, but this must be a huge momentum. If the ghost shadow does not come to the door, The guards just stood guard and couldn't produce any evidence. At that time, Long Live Lord would indeed say that noble people are ignorant, and it would be bad if they thought that she was using the dragon species in her belly to provoke trouble sincerely.

After discussing for a long time, there was no result.Tong Wanrou stood on the square outside the hall, looking at the glistening lake.
