Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 241
After the three little eunuchs left, Bai Lu asked, "Master, tell me, why do the three of them see things that look different?"

White clothes and red clothes are obviously different.

Chen Wenxin was also a little puzzled about this point.

The small table said: "Master, the prison uniform of the Punishment Department is white, does it have something to do with this?"

In chronological order, it was the little eunuch of the Punishment Department who first saw the sitting female ghost in white clothes, and then the little eunuch of Yongshou Palace saw the flying female ghost in red clothes.

She snorted disdainfully.

"I know, this is the intention of the person who arranged the fake female ghost."

In Buddhist legend, ordinary ghosts are white and less aggressive at this time.

But if it is a ghost who died with injustice and hatred, it will turn red and has a strong revenge.

The person behind the scenes first made people dress up as ghosts in white clothes, and just sat down.Then change into a red dress, and you will be able to fly in Yongshou Palace.

Make it look like the real thing.

When Chen Wenxin said this, Bai Lu was alert to the problem.

"In this way, it is more likely to be Concubine Tong. She has always liked to chant the Buddha's name the most, and even pretends to be a god and ghost, she has to pretend according to the Buddhist scriptures."

Chen Wenxin was noncommittal, just smiled and said, "Now that we know what a ghost looks like, it's time to catch ghosts."

"Master, let the slave take you there, the slave is not afraid of ghosts."

Xiao Zhuo has always regarded Chen Wenxin as his backbone, since he knew that she didn't believe in gods and Buddhas, Xiao Zhuo didn't believe in these anymore.

She smiled and said, "Okay. I'll take you with me. I also want to see what that ghost looks like."

As soon as she said this, Bai Lu believed it was true, and she stammered: "If the master goes, the servants should go too."

She was usually served by Chen Wenxin. For such a big matter as hunting ghosts, of course she had to follow.

Although she was still a little scared in her heart, she couldn't let the master take risks. She was a servant hiding in Yikun Palace, right?

"Don't worry, let's get the guy ready first, and then go hunting ghosts."

The little table didn't understand what kind of guy she was talking about, "If you want to talk about taking people, the slaves have plenty of them. What kind of knives, guns and sticks, the master has everything he wants."

She shook her head, "Not these guys."

Go play tricksters without these guys, what kind of guys are they?
"Could it be that the master is talking about... those guys like Dansha, Huangfu, and Taomujian?"

Chen Wenxin gave him a blank look, and the little table immediately fell silent.

"These guys, Bai Lu has to come and prepare."

Bai Lu was taken aback, "Me? How can a slave make such a fool..."

Chen Wenxin asked her to dig out the common fabrics used by the palace makers for their clothes, and wanted the most common fabrics, so that no one could tell that it came from Yikun Palace.

Then let Bai Lu roughly sew two loose dresses like that according to the three little eunuchs who saw ghosts.

She specifically reminded that the stitches must be thick, so that no one can tell that it is her technique.

Bai Lu's technique was used by Chen Wenxin to pretend to be a female celebrity embroidered by herself.

The stitches must be very fine and dense, and it is not easy to be thick?
Bai Lu sewed two pieces in two or three strokes, and even the little eunuch said the skirts were about as long as they were, and they were all made to perfection.

One was red and the other was white. Chen Wenxin looked at it for himself, and it was exactly the same as what those little eunuchs said.

And prepare to put on a long wig, there are quite a few of these in the palace, and they are used to make big buns for concubines and masters with thinning hair.

And flour pinched fangs.

Add a few common red rouges, and you're all set.

Bai Lu finally understood what Chen Wenxin was going to do. The things she wanted were all the equipment for female ghosts that the little eunuchs said.

"Master, are we going to catch ghosts or pretend to be ghosts?"

Or pretend to be a ghost to catch ghosts?

"I guess we won't be able to catch ghosts. The person pretending to be a ghost knows that I am investigating this matter. Knowing that I don't believe in gods and Buddhas, she will not dare to send someone out to pretend at this time."

So tonight's trip to Yongshou Palace is just a waste of time.

After all, this ghost is fake, how could he have the guts to actually appear in front of her?

Fake ghosts can frighten those little eunuchs who walk alone, but how can they frighten her large numbers of people in Yikun Palace.

"Since you can't catch it, why bother the master to go there in person?"

"We know we can't catch it, but others may not know it. She is only allowed to send someone to pretend to be a ghost, but I am not allowed to pretend to catch a ghost?"

The corner of her mouth curled up into a smile, "Of course, I still hope they are more courageous, and let us catch the real ghost pretender tonight."

"Ah, there is one thing missing!"

This kind of thing has to be found on a small table. She needs ropes, the kind that can hang people in mid-air.

She watched a lot of costume dramas in her previous life, why haven't people flying around?

Those seemingly seamless flights are actually all done by Wia.

Give her a rope and she can fly into the air too!

In the evening, Chen Wenxin brought the small table, Bailu, and a group of Yikun Palace servants to ambush around Yongshou Palace.

According to those little eunuchs, in recent days, this so-called female ghost has been appearing in Yongshou Palace.

Chen Wenxin couldn't figure it out, if this matter was aimed at her, why didn't she just let the female ghost come to Yikun Palace to fly?

It's reasonable to think about it. Everyone in the palace knows that she doesn't believe in gods and Buddhas. If she appeared directly in Yikun Palace, she might be caught on the spot.

But it appeared in an ownerless palace like Yongshou Palace, with few servants and few lights.

Everyone who saw him was terrified, so naturally no one dared to arrest him.

Bai Lu put a thin cloak on Chen Wenxin's shoulders. Although it was spring, coming to such a gloomy place at night still felt a bit chilly.

After Yigui died in Yongshou Palace, all the palace residents were sent to Xinzheku, and this huge palace was empty.

A lamp was lit under the porch, dimly reflecting the things in the hall.

Occasionally, when there was a gust of night wind, the flame in the lamp would shake a few times, causing everyone to breathe in fright.

"Leave the little table and Bai Lu, and let the rest of you hide in a hiding place. Once you see someone pretending to be a ghost, catch him immediately."

These palace people brought by Yikun Palace are all courageous and powerful.

Except for Bai Lu who was trembling with fright, standing behind Chen Wenxin and always looking around.

When she said this, Bai Lu became even more nervous.

It's better now that there are more people. After a while, all the eunuchs hid, and there were only three of them standing in the empty courtyard.

How creepy.

But the small table said: "Master, the slave enters the hall and moves out a chair. Master sit and wait."

Chen Wenxin nodded, and the little table went to open the door of the West Side Hall.

Chen Wenxin and Bai Lu were the only ones left in the yard, and the two of them paid attention to the darkness around them, not letting go of even the slightest sign of trouble.

Bai Lu always looked at the side of the Xipei Hall, thinking that the little table would come back soon, and that one more person would not be so afraid.

The more I thought about it, the longer the small table went away, as if there were only the two of them left in the darkness.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Chen Wenxin was also a little uneasy. Although she didn't believe in ghosts and gods, it was hard for someone to pretend to be a scary thing and suddenly jump out.

What's more, Yongshou Palace is too dark here, and there is no anger at all.

No wonder Bai Lu was scared.

She held Bai Lu's hand, took off a string of Buddhist beads from her wrist, and put it on Bai Lu's wrist.

"This is a prayer bead bestowed by the emperor. It was consecrated in Baohua Palace. Don't worry, ghosts and gods will not invade."

Bai Lu was a little embarrassed, she should have protected Chen Wenxin, but Chen Wenxin was always worried about her being afraid.

Thinking of this, Bai Lu's heart also settled a lot.

She took off the string of Buddhist beads from her sleeve, and put them on Chen Wenxin's wrist again.

"Master, wear it properly, and your slaves should protect you."

She glanced around, only to feel that the night wind blows and the shadows of the trees dance.

Those corners, the darkest places under the tree shadows, always seem to be hiding some ghosts.

"Squeak-"

There was a knock on the door, and Chen Wenxin immediately looked towards the place where the noise came from.

It turned out that the small table had brought out the chairs from the Xibei hall, and now it was closing the hall door lightly.

Bai Lu breathed a sigh of relief, "This small table scared me to death."

The little table came up with a grin, "Sister Lu, what are you worried about? With the master here, we slaves can enjoy the Buddha's light together."

Although Xiaozhuo didn't follow him on the southern tour, he also knew that in Suqian where the river was flooded, Chen Wenxin was called Guanyin Bodhisattva.

He lowered his voice, "Master, I put everything in."

Chen Wenxin nodded lightly, and sat on the grand teacher's chair.

"My concubine Chen's Qin Qin."

Her clear voice echoed in the empty courtyard, "If there is a ghost here, why not show up? If you have a grievance, just complain, if you have a grudge, just take revenge. Come out!"

The last three words resounded loudly, as if some wronged soul would appear as soon as they fell.

Everyone hiding in the dark held their breath and carefully observed their surroundings, in case they could rush out and catch the ghost hunter at any time.

It's just that everything around is still the same, without any change.

Everyone believed more and more that this was someone pretending. If it was a real wronged soul, why didn't he dare to show up now that Chen Wenxin, the righteous master, was sitting in the courtyard?
What a wronged soul, presumably it is just a frame-up by a jealous person.

Since the news of Yongshou Palace being haunted by ghosts, the surrounding palace people did not dare to approach.

In the middle of the night, Chen Wenxin's voice resounded in Yongshou Palace suddenly and forcefully, causing people in the nearby palaces to be suspicious.

"Could it be that Concubine Qin went to Yongshou Palace to catch ghosts?"

Concubine Rong's Jingyang Palace is not far from here, and she was a little surprised to hear the report from the palace staff.

She knew that Concubine Qin didn't believe in gods and Buddhas. She never thought that she would be so courageous that she would go to Yongshou Palace late at night.

Isn't she afraid of seeing ghosts?
