Chapter 46: The Morning Horror, The Hidden Ghost(1/2)
"ah--"
The sky in the east has just turned slightly white, and many people are still immersed in their dreams.
This sudden and sharp scream spread far away, and shocked many people unexpectedly.
Zhou Yunji suddenly heard the sound while she was half asleep and half awake, and sat up suddenly. "Mengmiao, what happened? Who is calling?"
It was quiet outside the door, and no one answered.
Zhou Yunji was so scared that she broke out in cold sweat, her heart beating. She didn't dare to think too much, so she jumped off the couch, put on her clothes and ran out. "Meng Miao, what happened? Meng Zhen?"
The more I walked, I became more and more panicked, and Zhou Yunji had an ominous premonition. "Come on, where have you died?"
Unconsciously, Zhou Yunji tripped up her body, and she stumbled on the ground and fell heavily. Her palms and elbows suddenly hurt.
She frowned and got up, gritted her teeth and endured the pain, and ran towards Baoer's wing.
I kept muttering in my heart, but nothing happened.
His mind was full of terrible scenes, and Zhou Yunji rushed in in a panic.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
The room was full of people, and almost the entire palace servants were attracted by the screams.
The moment they saw Zhou Yunji, people came back from their fear. "Beauty, come and take a look, this is...this is..."
Zhou Yunji walked forward with the courage, and saw Mengmiao, whose eyes were swollen: "What the hell is it..."
Before he could finish his questions, Zhou Yunji saw something. "What's wrong with them?"
The wet nurse and Mengzhen fell to the ground, and it was fine if they didn't move. The face, lips, even ears and fingers, the black color showed a coldness, which was really scary to look at. "Mengzhen... Xue Hummy... My insurance
Where is my Baoer?"
The slaves finally understood the whereabouts of the eldest princess.
Zhou Yunji half-squatted on the ground and reached out to find out their breath: "Die...whether my Baoer?"
"Don't worry, beauties, I'll go find it now." Mengmiao wiped her tears while crying: "The great princess is auspicious and heavenly appearance, and there will be no trouble."
"I hope." Zhou Yunji said this, but she was completely disappointed. "Bao'er is only three years old, and her wet nurse and Mengzhen are poisoned to death. How can she be safe and sound? The broken bowl on the ground is clearly
Prepare meals for Baoer. The wet nurse and Mengzhen must have tasted the taste before..."
"You go and look for it quickly, don't be stunned here." Mengmiao held back her grief and anger and ordered with tears.
"No." The servants present began to look for the eldest princess in various places in Hehuan Hall under the command of the eunuch Huang Yuan.
Zhou Yunji collapsed on the ground, curled up her knees, and looked at Mengzhen with tears in her eyes: "You two have followed me for so many years and have long become the closest people around me. Mengmiao, you work hard for me every day, Mengzhen,
I took care of Baoer for me. And I, a useless master, can’t even save your lives even if I can’t save you from your life… I really feel ashamed of you.”
"Beauty, don't say that. I and Mengzhen are like sisters. We all have the same wish, that is, to serve the beauty well. As long as you and the eldest princess are safe, we will die without regrets." Mengmiao felt distressed.
It was so amazing that Mengzhen left so suddenly. When she saw her body, she was so scared that she screamed in shock. She couldn't care about anything else. "It's a bad thing for me. I didn't go to find the whereabouts of the eldest princess at the first time, but instead got furious.
The servants in the palace all looked at the scene. Please forgive me for your sins.”
"I won't say this anymore." Zhou Yunji closed her eyes. It was not that she didn't want to find Bao'er. She wanted to search every part of Hehuan Palace and find Bao'er. But she was afraid, afraid to see the scene that she couldn't accept.
.I was even more afraid that what she found was not the living Baoer. I suddenly raised my head. When she opened her eyes, there was only deep resentment in her eyes. "I have been so enduring and respectful, but they still refused to give me a way out. Since that's the case
, don't blame me for doing something that makes her regret."
"Beauty, what do you want to do?" Mengmiao was so worried.
"You go, ask Your Majesty to come over, and you will say that Bao'er is gone. The wet nurse and maid who served her were poisoned and died of poisoning." Zhou Yunji looked cold and said, "I asked myself that I had never done anything to carry people on my back, and there is nothing I can't afford to mess with.
The disaster. Remember, you will tell everyone along the way, be sure to tell me that this matter is a big deal. As the sky is getting dark, the ministers of the morning court will enter the palace one after another!”
"I understand, I will go now." Mengmiao also felt a sense of hatred in her heart. Looking at the tragic death of the wet nurse, thinking about the poor princess, she rushed out of the wing as fast as she could, and soon ran away.
With the two corpses guarding Zhou Yunji's heart gradually became cold. Her heart became cold, her mind was no longer dizzy, and her whole body gradually calmed down.
She must have messed up the things she did for Guiren Yin before, and she resented herself.
I was also afraid that when she was pregnant and couldn't do anything, she would take revenge on her, so I took action first.
The hatred sown in my heart seemed to grow and expand in an instant, and my whole heart was filled with hatred.
As soon as the emperor entered the Jiade Palace, Wang Ruoying came forward happily: "It's time for your descendant. I'm just ready for breakfast."
"What have you prepared?" Liu Zhao was a little hungry.
"Everything is prepared, it's all what Your Majesty loves to eat every day." Wang Ruoying smiled lovely, and her jade wrist turned and gently held the emperor's mantis arm. "Your Majesty is a rare trip, how can I not be careful when I come here.
.”
Just about to walk up to the long steps of the front hall, Liu Zhao frowned slightly: "Where are you having food?"
"My side hall." Wang Ruoying replied casually, and realized something was wrong. "Your Majesty means..."
"You ask someone to send the meal to the kitchen." Liu Zhao turned to Wuling and said, "Look at how Guiren Deng is preparing."
Wang Ruoying's face froze, and then she covered it with a gentle smile: "No."
To be honest, Deng Sui was supposed to be moved by selling this favor to His Majesty. And she still lives in her palace and is favored and protected by her...
But Wang Ruoying felt awkward. She had been with His Majesty for longer than the concubines in the palace. She was confident that she knew His Majesty’s thoughts more than anyone else. Just from the look he looked at Concubine Deng, she knew that the woman had already
After entering his heart, Deng Sui had no appetite and did not know that His Majesty and Wang Ruoying had agreed to have breakfast together, so he only made some simple preparations of some side dishes and porridge.
Wuling suddenly came to pass the message, which really scared her. If you ask Tuoyan to see what else can be worshipped in the kitchen.
"If I want to say it, I don't need to prepare anything." Meishu didn't want to hide it: "Your Majesty has made an agreement with Wang Cainu, and I will notify you before. Wang Cainu has carefully prepared breakfast on his side.
, wouldn’t it hurt people if you put it on at will, and it would be more delicious than others carefully prepared?"
Although she usually speaks without any restraint, this time, Deng Sui had to nod. "What you said makes sense. Then just put a few side dishes and send some porridge."
Tuo Yen smiled and nodded: "I'll prepare now. It's better to move to the dining hall first and talk to His Majesty."
"Okay." When Deng Sui turned around, he saw a plain silver hairpin on Meishu's head that looked pretty, so he couldn't help asking more: "Did you buy it from the palace? I haven't seen you bring it before."
"Miss's eyes are bright and bright. No matter how little things you do, I can escape your wise eyes." Meishu smiled sweetly.
As the two of them talked, they rushed to the kitchen hall.
At that time, only Liu Zhao was sitting quietly, and Wang Ruoying was not seen.
"I pay my respects to Your Majesty." Deng Sui seemed a little restrained: "Because I didn't know that Your Majesty came here early in the morning, I only prepared a few simple side dishes with clear porridge. I hope Your Majesty will not dislike you."
Liu Zhao nodded casually: "I originally wanted to have a meal with Ruoying, but I was thinking about the taste of the side dishes in your palace, so I called you over. Come here and sit down."
Deng Sui hurried forward and sat down next to him.
Liu Zhao reached out and shook her hand: "It's been hot these days, and you're weak. You don't have to leave the palace and walk around if you have nothing to do. I will come to see you."
Wang Ruoying happened to come in at this time, and her face was filled with joy before she could turn into a soft smile. "Your Majesty, nobleman, breakfast is ready, and you can have meals soon.
”
She felt that she was extravagant and was particularly eye-catching when standing in front of these two people.
"You sit down too." Liu Zhao saw her being held back and could not help but comfort her: "I'm here to have breakfast, so you'll get up early. Come over and have a meal together."
Unfortunately, before she could sit down, Wuling rushed in in a hurry. "Report to Your Majesty, something happened to Hehuan Palace!"
When Liu Zhao led Guiren Deng and Meiren Wang to Hehuan Palace, the servants had searched everything inside and outside.
Unfortunately, the eldest princess Liu Bao was not found at all.
Zhou Yunji's face was pale and her hands and feet were cold. When she saw the emperor coming in, she could no longer hold back her tears and broke the dam. "Your Majesty, it's my fault that I'm wrong. It's my fault that I don't know how to judge the situation. It's my
I can't do those things well. Since it's all my fault, why should I punish you and not come to me? Why should I harm my Baoer? Why? She is just a child, and she is less than three years old.
Why is she willing to spare her..."
It seems that Meiren Zhou loves her daughter very much and seems to be incoherent. But Deng Sui and Wang Ruoying both understood the profound meaning of her words.
Liu Zhao helped her up, held Kuan in his arms, and patted her back slightly with his palm. "Baoer will be fine. I have already told someone to find her and will definitely send her back safely."
"Your Majesty..." Zhou Yunji choked up: "If there is anything wrong with Bao'er, I would rather follow her. I hope Your Majesty will take good care of herself and don't blame me for not serving you."
"Don't talk nonsense." Liu Zhao frowned: "I said that Bao'er will be fine. I will definitely find her back!"
"Your Majesty, I want to go to the eldest princess's wing to take a look." Deng Sui volunteered. After all, she looked so worried about the situation of separation between mother and son. No matter what the adults have done, they should not take the child as a revenge.
means.
"Okay." Liu Zhao wanted to stay here to comfort Zhou, so he said to Wang Ruoying: "You go and have a look, too."
"No." Wang Ruoying nodded respectfully and followed Deng Sui.
Mengmiao quickly lead the way.
"Who found this place first?" Deng Sui frowned and looked at the two cold corpses on the ground, and his heart tightened. The palace was always filled with this kind of anxiety, which made people feel uneasy.
"Reply to the words of Guiren Deng, I am the one who got up early to see the princess. I found that the wet nurse and Mengzhen had already..." Mengmiao remembered the scene and couldn't help but shiver: "At that time, I was just afraid and screamed, which attracted the palace.
The slaves watched. These two corpses and the servants who served in Huan Palace must have seen them."
Deng Sui walked forward and saw the broken bowl on the ground: "Whose bowl is this?"
