After Prince Guo was reborn, Zhen Huan became invincible
Chapter 31 The Woman in Red Floated for One Night
Yikun Palace
The emperor had just fallen asleep for a short time when he was invited to the Yikun Palace. To be honest, he was very unhappy. However, when he heard the visitor report that Concubine Hua was "frightened by ghosts and evil spirits", the emperor's curiosity was aroused.
The emperor thought to himself, could it be that the spirit of Queen Chunyuan has returned? The last time Chunyuan appeared in his Yangxin Palace, she was wearing white clothes and had a thin face. But on second thought, this time, according to the report from the visitor, the ghost that Concubine Hua saw was a woman in fluttering red clothes.
This made the emperor wonder: Who is this ghost? Why did she appear in Yikun Palace? More importantly, what did she say to Concubine Hua?
The emperor frowned slightly. When he stepped into Hua Fei's Yiku Palace, he saw that she was pale and her eyes revealed deep fear and anxiety.
Groups of palace maids and eunuchs knelt on the ground in an orderly manner to be punished.
The emperor laughed secretly in his heart, thinking that Concubine Hua was being petty again.
"Everyone, stand up! All of you, please leave."
The emperor shouted to everyone in a loud voice. Following this order, not only the palace maids and eunuchs, but also Su Peisheng followed the order and left the room, carefully closing the door.
When Concubine Hua saw the emperor coming, tears instantly burst out like a flood.
She didn't bother to put on her shoes, and quickly climbed down from the bed, and threw herself into the emperor's arms like a frightened bird, hugged him tightly, and said tenderly and pitifully:
"Your Majesty, you finally came to visit me! I am really scared, please save me, Your Majesty." At this moment, Concubine Hua's face was full of tears, and her pitiful appearance made people feel pity for her.
The emperor patted Concubine Hua's back gently, and said in a gentle but inquiring tone, "Shilan, don't panic. I'm here. Don't worry. What happened to make you so scared?"
Hua Fei raised her tearful face, looked at the emperor, and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, I was sleeping soundly tonight, and suddenly I heard something shaking in the bedroom. I got up to see, and saw a woman in fluttering red clothes swaying in front of me. I was so scared that I screamed, but the woman disappeared without a trace. I think this must be the work of a ghost!"
The emperor frowned slightly, thought for a moment and then said, "Did you see the face of the woman in the fluttering red dress? What did she say to you?"
Hua Fei gently shook her head, her delicate face full of grievance and helplessness, and she said in a trembling voice:
"I really don't know! At that time, I saw a figure floating from a distance. It was floating, Your Majesty, you know? It wasn't walking. That figure looked very strange. His hair was disheveled, like a worn-out mop, swinging back and forth as he moved."
"The hair was so long and dense that it almost covered his entire face, making it impossible for me to see his true appearance. I was terrified at the time."
Concubine Hua began to cover her face and cry again.
The emperor looked at Concubine Hua again, his eyes showing a little more tenderness, "Shilan, don't worry, I will ask Abbot Jingyuan of Baolian Temple to come and exorcise the evil spirits in your palace tomorrow. I will make you feel at ease. You should have a good rest first, and I will stay here with you tonight."
When Concubine Hua heard this, she was deeply moved and snuggled tightly in the emperor's arms, as if she had found a safe haven.
In the second half of the night, the emperor slept with Concubine Hua in Yikun Palace, but he was secretly wondering in his heart, who is this woman in red? Why did she cause trouble in Concubine Hua's Yikun Palace?
Yanxi Palace
An Lingrong tossed and turned in bed, recalling what the emperor said to her before he left. The emperor told her that he would go see Concubine Hua and would be back soon, and asked her to wait for him to come back. However, after waiting for a long time, the sky was already gray and dawn, and there was still no sign of the emperor. She felt lonely.
Baojuan stayed with An Lingrong all night.
"My lady, I'm afraid the Emperor won't come today. He must be resting at Concubine Hua's place. My lady, you should have a good rest and get enough energy so that you can serve the Emperor again tomorrow."
After hearing this, An Lingrong felt that it made a lot of sense. Since the emperor would definitely stay in Yikun Palace, there was no point in waiting for him. It would be better for her to have a good sleep and fight again tomorrow.
Tai Chi Hall
At this moment, Lipin was so frightened that she was trembling and hiding at the head of the bed. The maid beside her kept comforting her.
Concubine Li did not have the courage to disturb the emperor's sweet dreams in the middle of the night, nor did she have the confidence to ask the emperor to come to Taiji Hall to comfort and protect her.
Although when Lipin was young, she was favored by the emperor for her outstanding beauty and stunning appearance when the emperor was still the Fourth Prince, the man who once said "Three Times a Night" got his name because the emperor once favored Lipin.
When Lipin was young, her appearance was not inferior to that of Chunyuan. The emperor still had some love for her, but because she had no children, she was not qualified to be promoted to the position of concubine.
But now that she is old and ugly, she is certainly not as good as Concubine Hua and the new concubines such as Zhen Huan, Shen Meizhuang, and Noble Lady Fucha.
"Your Majesty, don't be afraid. I will always stay by your side." Wen Liu sat beside Lipin's bed, holding her hands tightly, trying to give her some comfort and strength.
However, Lipin could not erase the image of the woman in the fluttering red dress from her mind. She trembled and said in a voice full of fear: "Don't come to me... Don't come to me, it wasn't me."
Lipin recalled the scene she had just seen. The woman in red actually came to her bedside in a frightening manner. She couldn't help but guess that it must be the spirit of the dead Yu Ying'er who came back to seek revenge on her. When she thought of this, Lipin's heart was filled with fear and uneasiness.
Wen Liu looked at Lipin's frightened expression and felt very anxious.
She quickly comforted him, "Your Highness, I heard that the Emperor has invited the monks from the Baolian Temple to perform rituals in the palace. At that time, all palaces will hold exorcism ceremonies. I believe that with the blessings of the monks, those evil ghosts will surely be driven away. Your Highness, you can rest assured. Moreover, there are so many guards and maids guarding our palace, so nothing will happen."
After hearing Wen Liu's words, Lipin was slightly relieved, but the fear in her heart was still not completely eliminated. She knew that although there were wizards and guards to protect her, no one could guarantee 100% safety for supernatural beings like ghosts, which were force majeure.
She could only pray silently, hoping that she would not run into the returning soul in red again before the wizard came to perform the ritual.
Broken Yuxuan
Xiao Yunzi, carrying a small bag on his back, quietly jumped from the roof into the wall of Suiyuxuan.
