In the palace, there was an air of solemnity.
Rumor has spread about what Chun Fei's ghost has done.
"That Chun Fei is really a fox!" A palace maid curled her lips and said, "I don't know what kind of magic she used to make the late emperor so fascinated."
"Humph, obsessed? I think you are confused!" Another palace maid sneered, "Then Concubine Chun must have bewitched the emperor, otherwise how could she do such an evil thing."
"The late Emperor was defeated and now he is restless even after death. Four people died in succession. The ghost of Concubine Chun is indeed back."
"The ones who are still dead are all men. It seems that these ghosts are restless!"
"I heard that the ghost of Concubine Chun has come back to take revenge. In the past few nights, we can always hear some strange sounds in our palace." The maids gathered together and whispered about the ghost of Concubine Chun. "That sound is so eerie." It’s so scary that it makes people feel scared when they hear it.”
However, just when everyone was panicking, the behavior of a beautiful lady in Chuxiu Palace became even more unusual.
"What to do, what to do!"
"Huanmen'er, what are you calling ghosts so early in the morning!" The beautiful girl who was sharing the bed looked angrily at Huanmen'er walking back and forth in front of the bed. It was just that she didn't come back last night, and she was there again this early in the morning. God nagging.
Meng Meng'er had trouble saying that she was the only one who knew what happened last night, and it was not the work of Chun Fei's ghost.
And her secret meeting with her childhood sweetheart is even more outrageous.
If the matter was exposed, she would not escape death.
"Feel sorry."
Zhao Zhao, who was sharing the bed, immediately hugged the pillow and covered his ears, trying to be out of sight and out of mind.
Mengmeng'er slapped her thigh. Her current plan was to atone for her sins and capture the ghost of the pure concubine, so that she could get rid of suspicion.
As she said, she immediately put on clean clothes and hurried to the palace where Concubine Chun lived.
Rumors had already spread in the palace that the ghost of Concubine Chun was specifically targeting men, and four of them died one after another.
But Meng Meng'er knew that the ghost of Chun Fei did not come back for revenge, but someone else.
"Mengxiu Nu, what are you going to do?" a stern voice shouted.
Mengmeng'er was startled, and when she looked up, she turned out to be the aunt in charge of the palace.
"Auntie, I'm here to capture the ghost of Concubine Chun."
"What? Just you?" My aunt sneered, "The pure concubine's ghost injured four men one after another. These are all strong men in the palace! Now there is no one who can even hold a broom."
"I...I can't do it alone, but there is also the Emperor!"
"Your Majesty? Do you think the Emperor would take risks for the sake of these servants in the palace? It's just nonsense!"
Meng Meng'er bit her lower lip, yes, the emperor would definitely not take risks for these people.
So... what should she do?
correct!
"Auntie, last night, Huan'er saw a few people who were acting suspiciously. If we can find them, we can clear the suspicion for Concubine Chun. Now people in the palace are in panic."
Mengmen'er carefully observed the look on the steward's aunt's face, "If we can find the real culprit, it will save the palace from unnecessary panic."
"The real murderer?" The steward's aunt frowned, and suddenly her eyes lit up, "Are you really able to find it?"
Mengmen'er nodded, "It's just that I need my aunt's help."
"Tell me, how can I help you?"
"Huan'er, I want to meet the emperor. Concubine Chun is the emperor's biological mother. Come to think of it, she will definitely not sit idly by."
"But you are a beautiful girl, how easy is it to meet a saint?" My aunt said hesitantly.
"As long as my aunt helps, I will definitely be able to see the emperor." Meng Meng'er said firmly.
The steward aunt was silent for a moment and then said, "In this harem, it is not impossible to get the emperor's favor. It's just..."
"Auntie, just ask."
"If we can really find the real culprit and clear the name of Concubine Chun, the Emperor will definitely be delighted, and you will also be favored by the Emperor. However, if you fail to find the culprit, Meng Xiunv, you know that you will face What?"
Either get ahead or die without a burial place.
"Auntie, Huan'er understands!"
Mengmen'er clenched her fists tightly and bit her lower lip, a trace of determination flashed in her eyes.
Seeing this, the steward's aunt flashed a hint of appreciation in her eyes. She should have thought that being able to stand up and block everyone's talk must be extraordinary courage.
For this plan, we must take a gamble.
The steward's aunt took Mengmen'er outside the royal study room. She could only help here.
Mengmeng'er took a deep breath and knelt outside the royal study, "Your Majesty, the beautiful girl Mengmeng'er has something to report."
The sound was loud enough to reach the imperial study room.
In the imperial study room, the man's brows were slightly furrowed, but he could not conceal his royal aura.
"What's the matter?"
The voice was calm, but it carried a domineering air without anger.
"Your Majesty, Xiu Nu Meng'er knows that she is of humble status, but there is something she has to report to the Emperor."
"speak."
"The ghost of the Pure Concubine did not come back to take revenge, but someone else."
"Oh? How do you know?" The man raised his eyebrows, a trace of amusement flashed in his eyes, "Have you seen the ghost of the pure concubine?"
Mengmeng'er took a deep breath, and now she didn't care so much anymore, "Back to the emperor, Xiu Nu has not seen the ghost of Concubine Chun. However, there is evidence that there must be something fishy in the deaths of those four people. "
"Oh? What's weird?"
"The cause of death of the four people was not death of fright, but injuries from sharp objects."
There was silence in the royal study room, and after a moment, the man's voice came, "Do you know what will happen to you if others listen to these words?"
"Huan Meng'er knows." She raised her head, her eyes full of determination, "But if the murderer is allowed to go unpunished and the emperor's people are ignored, that would be unjust."
"It's so hard to tolerate justice." Xiao Yan's eyes flashed with admiration, "Tell me, how can we catch the murderer?"
"Your Majesty only needs to strengthen the guards in the palace and secretly find out who passed through Fengxiang Palace last night. The murderer will definitely be caught."
"Okay, I will follow what you said. If I can really catch the murderer, I will definitely reward him heavily."
Meng Meng'er was overjoyed, and there were many rewards? That's what she always wanted.
Now, the only option is to take a gamble.
If she could really catch the murderer, she would be able to atone for her crime.
If she couldn't catch it, it could only be her bad luck.
Tang Nian took the medicine according to the prescription, but everything was wrong.
"Master, last night...someone saw us!"
"Oh!" Tang Nian didn't have any other expression. Xiao Yan would have to know sooner or later anyway.
However, he still had to think of a countermeasure. Why was he taking the harem showgirls and his apprentices to the cold palace at night?
"That man helped us last night, we can't betray him, right?"
Xie Jincheng only found it funny, "Master, we haven't seen the man's face clearly, how can we betray him?"
