Just after noon, Wei Zhong led people to Guan Chun'er's place.
When the few people guarding Chun'er saw the manager coming, they cheered up and said, "Don't worry, manager, we are keeping a close eye on her."
Wei Zhong hummed and looked at Chun'er coldly.
Chun'er only made eye contact with him for a moment, then lowered her head, as if she was very regretful.
"You're lucky, our queen has said we won't pursue you any further." Wei Zhong said to Chun'er.
"Thank you for your kindness, the Queen. Chun'er kowtows to the Queen." Chun'er said and knelt down and kowtowed three times.
"Forgive me! Your Majesty will not be shy about your head. But I can't let you go now. I'll let you out when my Majesty's birthday is over! Don't let you go around talking nonsense." Wei Zhong said in a cold tone, "When the time comes, You don’t want to stay here anymore, just pick up a high branch and fly away!”
This time Chun'er said nothing, only lowered his head.
She knew that no one could see the expression on her face, so she showed a bit of pride.
Sure enough, as long as the queen is carried out, Concubine Fu will be really scared.
"The houses here also need to be repaired," Wei Zhong raised his head and glanced around the roof and said, "The rainy season is about to come, so the internal officials and prisons are not too busy at the moment.
Go back and take her to the empty room in the northwest corner! There was a lot of work to do in the front yard, she just had to find someone to watch her. "
She looked at Chun'er before because she was afraid that she would seek suicide, but now there is no need. She already knows that Concubine Fu will not pursue her, so why should she seek death?
So she was taken to another room and locked up. The person watching her was hungry at dinner time, but no one came to replace her.
Complained: "These sluts only care about their own stuff and don't care about the life or death of others!"
After a while, it was almost getting dark, but no one came to help.
The woman became furious and said, "Should everyone think that I am dead?! I don't care! Even if they ask me when the time comes, I will have a lot to say!"
Then he said to Chun'er: "Just stay in this room and don't think about causing trouble!"
Then the air bag went out and locked the door from the outside.
Naturally, she was feeling angry when she did this, but she also assumed that Chun'er wouldn't run away.
After all, although the palace was large, she could never run outside the palace.
Besides, there was no need for her to add any more details, unless she was too stupid to breathe.
The woman left and never came back until it was completely dark.
Chun'er hasn't had a sip of water since morning and is now thirsty and hungry. Fortunately, there is half a cup of tea left on the windowsill.
They don't know how long it has been left, but it has been there since they entered the house.
The woman thought it was dirty and didn't even look at it.
But Chun'er couldn't care less at this time. She picked up the bowl and drank it all in two sips.
Although his thirst was temporarily quenched, his stomach became even more uncomfortable.
But what else could she do besides endure it?
Fortunately, after a while, I gradually felt sleepy.
She just thought that it would be good to just sleep. It would be better to sleep until dawn than to stay up like this.
I don't know how long I slept, but Chun'er was woken up by a gust of cold wind.
She shivered, and before she could open her eyes, she heard someone calling her name slowly: "Chun'er~~Chun'er~~~"
The voice seemed far away, vague, like weeping, and made people feel numb at the base of their scalp.
Chun'er opened her eyes and saw darkness.
After she got used to the gloomy night, she saw two figures in the room, standing not far from her.
"Who is it?" Chun'er asked with a shiver.
"Chun'er, we two sisters are the souls of the peonies you burned to death." One of the black figures said quietly, "We have no enmity or grudge against you, why do you want to kill me?"
After hearing this, Chun'er stood on his head with all the hair on his body, clinging to the wall behind him, and hesitantly defended: "Fairy...Fairy, listen to me, I didn't do it on purpose! It really wasn't on purpose!"
The two black shadows took a few steps forward lightly, and it could be seen that they really seemed to be wearing peony-shaped flower crowns on their heads.
"Chun'er, it hurts us so much! It's so painful!" The peony flower soul lamented, "We died so unjustly!"
"Don't! Don't! Don't come over! Please don't come over!" Chun'er's voice was already broken, and it sounded scarier than the ghost's voice.
"The King of Hell said that if we die when we should not die, we will not be able to reach heaven. We cannot be reincarnated before our merits are fulfilled. We can only become wandering souls, wandering around." Peony Flower Soul cried a few more times as she spoke, "Unless... ... Unless the soul of the person who harmed us is dragged away and confronted in the Palace of Hell."
They all say that if you don't do anything wrong, you won't be afraid of ghosts calling the door.
Chun'er had already done something wrong, and coupled with her lack of knowledge and dullness, she was convinced that it was the spirit of the peony flower that came to seek her life.
This is much scarier than being tried in daylight.
At that time, she believed that as long as she told the Queen, no matter how angry Concubine Fu and the others were, they would not do anything to her.
But it's different now. These two flower souls can't scare the queen.
"When you arrive at the Hall of the King of Hell, you will be put into the frying pan first and then your heart will be ripped out. You will pay back the suffering we have suffered in multiples!" Peony Flower Soul's voice was very pleasant, but to Chun'er it was clear that it was a cry for life.
"Don't! Don't! Fairy Peony, listen to me! Listen to me!" Chun'er shrank back with all her strength, waving her hands wildly: "Every wrongdoer has his own debtor! I am also being persecuted!
Please, find the person who really harmed you. I have no choice. I am a little palace maid, who dare not listen to me? "
"Are you telling the truth?" Peony Flower Soul didn't seem to believe it, "But we all saw it, it was obviously you..."
"No! It's not me! It's not me! I was forced!" Chun'er saw the peony flower soul getting closer to her, and was so frightened that she broke out in cold sweat and couldn't care about anything.
There was only one thing on her mind right now: she couldn't be dragged to see the King of Hell!
"It's Empress Li Fei! It's Empress Li Fei who asked someone to call me! She told me personally, let me burn you two to death!" Chun'er said sharply, "I didn't want to agree at the time, but she promised I have many benefits.
He also threatened me and told me that if I didn’t obey, he would tell me about stealing things!
She also said that Concubine Fu would not do anything to me, as long as I pretended to be forced to confess that it was the Queen who ordered me. "
"Are you telling the truth?" Peony Huahun didn't seem to believe it, "If you lied to us, you would be guilty even more.
Not only do you have to go to the frying pan and have your heart ripped out, but you also have to go to the hell of having your tongue pulled out. "
"It's true! Eleven thousand truths. I don't dare to lie anymore." Chun'er collapsed and cried, "Please go find her! It's all her fault!"
"Even so, we can't let you go. You come with us!" Peony Flower Soul approached Chun'er, stretched out a hand, and pinched Chun'er's neck.
Her hands were extremely cold, and before she could exert any force, Chun'er was so frightened that she died.
