Every time Zhenzhen quarreled with Yang Bixue, she would always be at a disadvantage.
Now that she is smarter, the best way to face someone like Yang Bixue is to shut up and ignore her.
This will make it appear that she is asking for trouble.
Du Xian, who had always been at odds with Yang Bixue, refused to let her go.
duty The one who never leaves the second door without taking a single step is countless times stronger."
Yu Xin asked Zhenzhen to sit next to her. She smiled and asked Zhenzhen: "If you like cats, I will ask my father to send some to the palace one day, and we will share one with you and raise it together."
Zhu Scarlett took a slow sip of tea and said, "This is a good suggestion."
Seeing that no one in the hall was helping, even Zhu Siyi was watching coldly, Yang Bixue felt embarrassed and angry, so she hurriedly explained:
"What Jieyu and I met last night was not an ordinary cat at all, but a cat demon! This matter was not only witnessed by the palace servants, but also Jieyu. If Empress Zhaoyi was really concerned about the safety of the sisters in the palace, she should immediately ask People enter the palace to eliminate demons.”
Everyone looked at Zhu Siyi.
Zhu Siyi slowly told what happened last night. At the end, she also called several palace officials who witnessed it to come into the palace to testify.
Cat demon?
Everyone in the hall looked at each other in confusion. Du Xian did not believe this evil, and was the first to jump out and refute:
"Not only in the palace, but also in the entire Xijing City and the entire Qin Dynasty, such strange things have never happened before. Instead of worrying about this sudden rumor here, we might as well wait for the results of the investigation of the serial murder case in Dali Temple."
"I believe that by then the person who is behind the scenes will be able to find out who instigated it and who planned it."
Zhu Siyi: "Before I saw the monster with my own eyes last night, I had the same idea as Du Bazi. But the moment I actually saw the cat monster, it overturned all my perceptions over the years."
"If there really aren't all kinds of spirits, ghosts and gods in this world, then did so many Taoist priests breed out of thin air? Where did the techniques of Qimen Dunjia, Shifting Stars to Change Fights, and Stargazing and Divination come from?"
She looked at Zhu Sijia: "Whether Zhaoyi believes it or not, winter is coming. In short, it is right to be careful at all times in the palace."
Zhu Siyi's words left Du Xian speechless.
She seems to have an innate ability to convince everyone.
Zhu Sijia also half believed her words.
After all, she herself is the biggest unsolved case in the world, and she has repeatedly considered her chances of being reborn.
It's always good to be prepared, I wish Scarlett to note this down silently.
If there really is a cat demon they talk about, when she sees it with her own eyes, Yan Xiu will definitely ask Li Xunfeng to come down from the mountain to catch the demon——
Li Xunfeng, he can catch monsters, right?
…
A few days later, Yu Xin took the initiative to find Zhenzhen at dusk.
When Zhenzhen went to Changle Palace to say good morning in the past few days, her expression had always been very bad. One look at the tiredness on her face, and one knew that she must have been restless because of the Alhom incident.
"How come Sister Yu is free to visit today?" Zhenzhen poured Yu Xin a large bowl of salty and mellow milk tea, and brought her a plate full of sticky cakes filled with soybean noodles and cooked sesame seeds, " I'm used to eating these, sister, you can just eat them."
Yu Xin took a few symbolic bites and asked her what she thought of Alhom.
Zhenzhen said everything she was thinking. She believed that Alekhon had been blinded by the taste of power.
Even if he sincerely wanted to take him home when he left Da Qin, a year later, with his beloved wife by his side and people's hearts changing, who can predict what will happen in the future?
Then Zhenzhen told Yu Xin more stories about her and Alehong's childhood.
She said that Alhom was picked up from a wolf pile by her father. Alhom had no father or mother and was raised by a pack of wolves. People on the grassland called him wolf boy. When he first returned to the capital, he could not even walk. He could walk and was laughed at and bullied by many children.
At that time, the first person who was willing to approach him and be friends with him was the innocent, well-behaved and sweet Zhenzhen.
When Yu Xin heard this, she didn't answer her words. After a while of silence, she sighed: "I think Alhom will fulfill his promise and take you away."
Zhenzhen: "Why?"
Yu Xin: "It's just because of your feelings, Zhenzhen. It is inevitable that people will be disappointed. Alehong returned to Beiliang alone. If he wants to rescue your father and bring you back to Beiliang, he will never do it out of thin air. It’s so simple to say.”
"He may have his own difficulties and last resort, but no matter what means he uses, as long as the final result is what people want, that will be enough."
Zhenzhen: "I hope so. Anyway, I don't believe that he can be so capable to take me back from Yan Xiu. Speaking of which, Sister Yu, how do you know so clearly about these things?"
Yu Xin smiled faintly: "This is the purpose of why I came to you today."
Xie Jinnian, her childhood sweetheart and sworn brother, died one year ago today.
Although Yu Xin went to Chunyang Temple to ask for a long-lasting lamp for him, the chances of her leaving the palace were very few. If she couldn't get an accurate letter, she would not be able to let go for a long time.
Yesterday, she specially asked someone to bring back a river lantern and some paper money from outside the palace. She was waiting to burn some paper money for Xie Jinnian on his death anniversary, and then used the river lantern as a guide to ask him if he was still miserable and lonely underground.
Seeing that Zhenzhen was depressed these days, she thought of inviting her to go and light up the river lanterns to relax.
After Zhenzhen listened to her and Xie Jinnian's story, she cried like a little cat.
She burst into tears: "B-but burning paper money is a taboo in the palace. Sister Yu, aren't you afraid that someone will take this opportunity to get into trouble?"
Yu Xin: "So what? The most likely thing is to report it to Zhaoyi or His Majesty. But do you think the two of them look like people who care about these things?"
Zhenzhen: "What about the cat demon? It's late at night and I'm afraid of the cat demon."
Yu Xin: "Everyone of you believes it, even Zhaoyi believes it, but I don't believe it. If there are really ghosts in the world, then those damned people would have been sent to hell by the wronged souls."
After a while, Zhenzhen wiped away her tears and said, "Okay, I'll go with you."
…
A living water pond on the west side of the palace.
Yu Xin watched helplessly as the river lantern sank without any wind.
If the river lantern sinks, it means that the deceased did not go on the road to death, but stayed in the underworld and suffered many hardships.
Even though she was fully prepared before putting down the river lantern, she couldn't hold back her tears after seeing such a scene.
"How could this happen...Jinnian, why are you living so hard down there?"
Zhenzhen hurriedly took the handkerchief from Yunshang's hand and handed it to Yu Xin. Before she could comfort her, a strange meow sounded from behind the two of them.
The cat's meow was so desolate, even similar to a woman's plaintive cry of blood, that the hairs on the hair of everyone at the pond stood on end.
Yu Xin was the first to react. She put away her tears and rushed forward quickly, not forgetting to tell Yun Shang: "Yun Shang, put out the fire here, others go and notify the Forbidden Army!"
Zhenzhen followed her: "Sister Yu, I will accompany you!"
