Silly concubine's divorce letter

Chapter 10 What is the Ghost King
Xing'er was a little dazed, but she still cleaned up quickly, Lin Qiutang looked puzzled, could it be that the eldest lady just let her go?Is she so kind?
The reunion of mother and daughter should have been joyful, but no matter how bright Ma Huamei's smile was, it couldn't hide the melancholy between her brows.

Lin Qiutang was good at watching people's faces, and seeing Ma Huamei's hesitant expression, he knew that trouble was coming.

"Sister Lin, are you going home?" Little monk Yan Hui ran over and asked with a smile.

Lin Qiutang tapped his bald head with his hand, nodded, "Well, thank you for taking care of me during this time."

Yan Hui stroked the little bald head and said with a smirk, "Sister is going home, is she going to get married?"

"You don't learn well at such a young age." Lin Qiutang couldn't help laughing and cursing, just as Xing'er packed her bags and came out, Lin Qiutang asked Xing'er to give Yan Hui five taels of silver, Yan Hui tried to evade, but in the end her eyes were still red Accepted.

On the way back, Ma Huamei looked at her daughter distressedly, and every time Lin Qiutang met her eyes, she dodged sadly.

"Mother, tell me the truth, did something happen to Lin's mansion?" Escaping is not an option, since she came here while taking advantage of her, she must find out the situation.

Ma Huamei sighed sadly and nodded: "Tang'er, the queen has arranged a marriage for you."

Lin Qiutang was taken aback for a moment, engaged?It seems that Yan Hui's crow's mouth really hit the spot.

"Really? The marriage arranged by the empress must be a good thing. Why is mother still frowning?" Lin Qiutang forced a smile, but scolded mother in her heart. People in ancient times are meddlers. The girl is not married, and the son of the family is not married. Some good people like to pull red lines indiscriminately, and mislead people for life.

Ma Huamei saw that her daughter was foolishly ignorant of the harm, put away her worries, smiled and held her daughter's hand tightly: "Yes, it's a good thing, the other party is a prince with a noble status, you are lucky to marry him."

Lin Qiutang was full of doubts. She didn't expect that the person she was betrothed to was still a noble prince. It was too unexpected. With such a great thing, would that poisonous woman Bai Xuefeng let her?He longed to marry his own daughter, and there must be something hidden in it.

Xing'er's eyes widened when she heard this, and she said happily: "Is what the second lady said true? Which prince is my lady going to marry? King Rui is already married, so there is no hope. The princes who are about the same age in the royal family can only marry King An and King Lu are left, is the second lady talking about these two princes?"

After hearing this, Ma Huamei became even more worried, shaking her head and said, "Neither of them."

Xing'er couldn't help being surprised: "If it wasn't for these two princes, then... only the ghost king is left?"

Xing'er's face changed when she heard the ghost, and Lin Qiutang's heart skipped a beat for no reason. She searched her memory, but she didn't seem to have a clue about the word ghost king.

"Second Madam, why did you agree to let the young lady marry such a cruel and cold-blooded person? Isn't this pushing the young lady to die?" Xing'er cried out in panic.

The word "ghost king" makes people feel creepy when they hear it. Ghosts are terrifying creatures from hell. It's hard to call a man who can be called the "ghost king", which shows that he is extraordinary.

After hearing this, Ma Huamei shed tears helplessly, looked at Lin Qiutang miserably, and blamed herself: "Tang'er, mother is incompetent, I'm sorry."

Lin Qiutang's heart was in a mess. It seemed that this marriage was a trap. The eldest lady Bai Xuefeng was worried that she would live too comfortably in Guangming Temple, so she wanted to change her place, but she couldn't go to hell.

Seeing Ma Huamei crying with self-blame, Lin Qiutang wanted to know who the ghost king was, but he couldn't make her too sad, so he comforted her: "Mother, don't cry, no matter how scary the ghost king is, he is a prince. From now on, you Even if they are relatives of the emperor, it sounds pretty good."

Xing'er saw that the young lady could still joke around easily, and couldn't help worrying, it seemed that the young lady was not bright enough.

After Ma Huamei heard this, she hurriedly stopped her tears and forced a smile on her face: "Yes, my Tang'er is about to get married, so she should be happy."

Xing'er wanted to speak out a few times, but was stopped by Lin Qiutang's stern eyes, Xing'er had no choice but to shut her mouth aggrieved, her face was full of worry.

It is rumored that the ghost king is the son of the emperor's first concubine Liu Guifei. Liu Guifei is the emperor's childhood sweetheart and the emperor's favorite woman. Unfortunately, when the emperor promised her to make her a queen after giving birth, but when the child was born Dying to give birth, the emperor threw Liu Guifei's child in the cold palace in a fit of rage.

The youngest son is innocent, but the emperor has too deep feelings for Concubine Liu Gui, so he sent all the resentment on this child. The story should have ended here. A child who lost his mother's love at birth is doomed to be miserable and pitiful all his life .

But the strange thing spread throughout the harem when the child was three years old. The three-year-old child was abandoned in the cold palace, and the nanny and maid who took care of her died strangely one after another. Occupied the child, so everyone close to him was killed, and some people even said that the dead palace maids were eaten by three-year-old children. Some people saw the child squatting in the garden playing with his mouth full of blood.

As soon as the rumors came out, everyone in the harem was terrified, and no one dared to step into the cold palace. Every day at noon, only the maids brought the food to the door in panic, and then ran away in a hurry. From then on, the emperor never asked I used to think of this child who was raised by a female ghost until the child was 17 years old and finally stepped out of the cold palace. His face was ruined by something, so he picked up a tattered mask and put it on his face. People have seen his true face, and the emperor didn't give him a title, but when he was 16 years old, he was given the title of prince and a mansion. Everyone called him the ghost king, and his mansion was even more so. There is not a single maid, but there are several loyal servants who take care of him relentlessly.

This is why Xing'er's face turned pale when she heard the word ghost king.

Suppressing the doubts in their hearts, the mother and daughter returned to the Lin Mansion.

Walking lightly, coming lightly, Lin Qiutang was regarded as an air in the mansion, except for Ma Huamei who cared about her, no one seemed to like her.

After having dinner with his mother, Lin Qiutang closed the door, called Xing'er to him seriously, and asked, "Xing'er, tell me all the information you know about the Ghost King, without missing a single word. "

Xing'er nodded apprehensively, and told Lin Qiutang about the legendary background of the ghost king. She thought that Lin Qiutang's face would turn pale from fright, and she screamed. Unfortunately, after she finished listening, she only smiled lightly: "So it's a ghost!" poor guy."

"Miss, aren't you afraid? I heard that the ghost king is a man-eating demon." Xing'er was really worried for Miss, she was so calm when she was about to die, she was either a fool or an idiot.

"No matter how terrible things I have experienced, the ugliness of human nature and betrayal, I have never seen a prince who can eat people. It's good to meet you." Hurt, such rumors that are speculative, really can't scare her.
