Playful Queen

Chapter 101

Yongyingzhai is located in the palace at the farthest corner of the West Palace. Along the palace road paved with boulders, it turns a few alleys. The walls on both sides gradually turn green and black. When you walk to the end, you will arrive at Yongyingzhai.

Although this is not the second time I have come here, I will still be touched by the gloomy atmosphere here. On the dark green palace gate, the words "Yongyingzhai" have already peeled off the paint, the broken walls are dilapidated, and the surroundings are as silent as death.

This place used to be an elegant courtyard-style palace. Originally, the crows did not live here. I heard that there was a concubine who lived here. Crows are the divine birds of Jintian, so instead of driving them away, they were allowed to live here forever.

In fact, she also heard that the death of Concubine Xue was also very strange, just like when she first arrived at Fengyi Hall, she also heard from the court ladies and eunuchs that the former empress also died 17 years ago. Jin Tian was founded 24 years ago, why did the queen of the former dynasty die seven years after the founding of the country?There are really too many things that I can't understand, but in a place like the harem, dead people are already very common.

Phew, when a gust of cold wind blew by, Xi'er, who was following Mengli, shuddered, folded her hands on her chest, and looked around nervously, suddenly, a crow flew up, scaring her His legs went limp, he held Mengli's arm tightly, and said tremblingly: "Mother, this place is so scary, we..."

Mengli is actually a little scared, and she doesn't like these crows very much, but since she is here, she is not allowed to back down.

"If you are afraid, just wait here for me."

As soon as Xi'er heard what the empress said, she immediately scanned the gloomy surroundings, looking at the crow hiding in the dark, her little face immediately turned pale as paper, she would not be more afraid if she stayed here.

"Your Majesty, it's better for Xi'er to follow you." As she spoke, she followed closely behind her master.

Holding her skirt, Mengli stepped up the steps and entered the courtyard. The old and towering old trees came into sight, and there were clusters of bird nests on the branches. Perhaps they felt that someone had entered their territory, and they were all nesting in their nests. Li stared at the people who walked in, while the crow outside flapped its wings and hovered in the air vigilantly.

Xi'er looked at this large group of crows, and suddenly felt that her legs were weak, Li Pin was pecked to death by this group of crows, they wouldn't bite her too, would they?Thinking about it, the body trembled in fear again, "Mother..."

Mengli knew that Xi'er was afraid, so she reached out and grabbed her arm, leading her to continue walking in, and walked straight to the door on the small steps.

The previously bright window paper has turned waxy yellow, and there are still some spider webs wrapped around it. Looking through the torn window paper, the inside is very dark. Through a gloomy light, she can still see the situation inside slightly clearly. The tables and chairs The beams were dusty and cobwebs, old and unkempt.

This kind of environment really makes people frown when they see it, why does Nanny Yu live here?
Meng Li didn't think too much, reached out and knocked on the door.

"Is anyone here?"

No one answered, Mengli knocked again, but still no one answered.

"Ma'am, there should be no one here, right? Let's go back." Xi'er tugged at the corner of her master's clothes and whispered.

Mengli ignored Xi'er's words, and looked inside again. Is there really no one?No, before she came, she had heard that Madam Yu would not go anywhere other than here, so she knocked on the door again, but finally gave up because no one answered.

Unexpectedly, just when she was about to turn around with Xi'er, she was frightened by the figure standing behind her. Xi'er was so frightened that she fell to the ground. Mengli didn't exaggerate that much, but just took a step back. Immediately calmed down.

The person who suddenly appeared was exactly the Yumao she was looking for. She had met her once that day, and she still had some impressions. Her black and white intertwined hair was coiled in a cloud bun, and she was not wearing any hair accessories. She looks old, but with a slightly wrinkled face, it can be seen that this nun should have been a beauty when she was young.

It's just, why would such a person choose to raise these crows, and stay here for 22 years, like a living dead who sees no light.

Nanny Yu obviously recognized the person who was also looking at her, but there was no expression on her face, nor any respectful greeting.

It seems that Madam Yu is really a weird person, but the people who can live here are really weird, not because they are avoiding the outside world.

"Are you Nanny Yu?"

"This is not the place where the empress should come. Please come back, empress." Madam Yu said in a cold voice, without even looking at the empress, she passed her body, opened the door, and walked in. Going forward, when he was about to close the door, he was stopped by a pair of white jade hands...

"Nurse Yu, I want to inquire with you about the night Li Concubine died. I don't know you..."

"The old slave has already said what he should say that day, and I am sorry that the old slave has nothing to say." Madam Yu interrupted Mengli's words with a very indifferent and distant tone, as if she did not want to get close to others.

Hearing her indifferent tone, Mengli couldn't help frowning. She had heard that Madam Yu had a weird temper a long time ago, but it was okay, it just needed some time, and head-to-head encounters would not yield results.

"Okay, then don't bother Madam Yu, I will come to see you some other day."

Nanny Yu felt as cold as ice all over her body, and there was still no change in expression on her face, as if she had been frozen in that expression all the time, without emotion.

"No need, the empress is delicate and expensive, so don't make such a fuss. No matter how many times you come, the old slave's answer is still the same. You can go, forgive me for not sending you off." As soon as the words were finished, there was only a snort, She has already entered the house and closed the door, so as not to give her the queen any favor.

Nanny Yu closed the door coldly, isolating herself from the outside world, as if she had completely entered her own world, and walked towards the inner room. In the darkness, she lit an oil lamp, and the dim yellow light faintly illuminated the surroundings. Out of shape, there are no other doors and windows on the four walls except for the entrance door. Although it looks very simple, compared with the outside, it looks clean and tidy here. A table, a chair, and a bed are arranged according to their respective positions.

Nanny Yu walked to the side of the bed, picked up the black bundle placed at the foot of the bed, and opened it carefully, only to see that the black cloth was a brown memorial tablet. She watched quietly, with a trace of guilt and sadness across her indifferent face, The air around Fangfo is immersed in this silence...

Bang!Bang!
The loud voice broke the tranquility in an instant. She frowned, put away her things quickly, walked out of the inner room quickly, opened the door and came out from the room. Standing with sleeves tied and horse stance tied, he was chopping down those old and towering old trees one by one.
