Red Mansion Rebirth: Ghost Phoenix

Under the moon, the beauty is drunk, her cheeks are like blooming peach blossoms.

The voice is gentle and melodious, and at first it sounds like the chirping of an oriole or the singing of a p

She was wearing a pure white silk dress, with only a raw hemp mourning belt tied loosely around her, which somehow managed to outline her waist and peaks...

The prince had just been healed of the pain of memories by this scene, but then he heard the words that shocked and frightened him the most in the depths of his heart -

secret.

Hidden things, hidden people.

The prince's face turned gloomy for a moment.

Qinghai only felt that the dry clothes he had just changed into were soaked again!

This Wang Chenghui...

It's really her who makes us successful, and she's also the one who makes us fail!

How could she be so treacherous even when observing mourning? !

Both the master and the servant lost their smiles and stared at the beauty under the moon who was still immersed in prayer!

The girl spoke with fear and confusion: "Girl, what are you talking about? Okay, now that we have finished worshipping the moon, shall we go back to sleep?"

The beauty refused: "Don't interrupt! Go, go away!"

The girl had no choice but to kneel beside her and continue to support her.

The prince stood with his hands behind his back, his face gloomy, and watched motionlessly.

Qinghai bent his waist slightly, looking unhappy and not daring to move.

"Yeah, where were we talking about?

"Big moon..." Wang Xifeng clasped her hands together and raised them again.

Ruer couldn't bear to listen any longer, so she corrected him in a low voice: "It's Moonlight Bodhisattva..."

"Ah? Where's Moonlight Bodhisattva?" Wang Xifeng looked back at her in confusion, but she didn't put down her hand. She shook her body and looked up at the full moon again, "Okay, Moonlight Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva above -

"In our family... and in our relatives' families... there aren't many crazy people, but there are too many fools...

"I don't know who instigated this...

"I think, I think... they have no self-awareness...

"A bunch of idiots, stupid, blind, worse than beasts..."

When Wang Xifeng said this, she suddenly remembered her daughter Qiaojie who was sold by her "cruel uncle and treacherous brother". Her heart ached and she burst into tears.

Ruer panicked and tried to drag her back after hugging her: "Girl, you are drunk, let's go back to the room!"

"Am I drunk?" Wang Xifeng looked at her blankly.

Ruer nodded vigorously: "You are drunk. You have lost your composure. If someone sees you, you will cause trouble. I will help you back to your room."

"Really? I think I'm fine..." Wang Xifeng retorted in a low voice, while she stood up shakily and followed Ru'er back obediently.

How come... why did you stop talking halfway?!

Qinghai became anxious and sweaty after hearing this.

The prince's gloomy face gradually eased as she scolded him harshly and he obediently returned to his room.

Just as Wang Xifeng staggered two steps down the corridor, she suddenly turned around, waved at the moon that just rose above the incense table, and stammered the last few words:

"Otherwise, how about Moonlight Bodhisattva, can you give the prince a dream?

"The prince acted on what I said in my sleep last time!

"Tell him again this time that the child is now in the Qin family! But the Qin family has given birth to another son! It's not very good for her!

“The child himself knows nothing!

"The child is innocent!"

Ruer was even more confused: "Miss, what are you talking about? What child, what Qin family? Which storybook have you read? Didn't Aunt Meng take all your storybooks..."

The master and servant staggered back to the bedroom.

The prince stood by the small door, his expression becoming more and more solemn.

child.

Qin family.

"The list of the officials in the court with the surname Qin and above the fifth rank, please come back from court tomorrow and show it to me."

"……Yes!"

Two crows stood firmly on the branches near the wall.

After the prince left, one of them followed him, while the other still held on to the branch tightly, watching the entire Yi Qiu Palace vigilantly.

And in the shadow of the corner, there was a pitch-black cat squatting.

....................................

Wang Xifeng had indeed drunk a little too much. She took advantage of her drunkenness to order what she should order, leak what she should leak, and admit what she should admit. Having done her best, she decided to leave the rest to fate.

Have a deep and sweet sleep.

I woke up on time in the morning, did some boxing and took a shower, and then the crows came.

When she came out refreshed, while they were wiping her hair and dressing her, Ru'er found an opportunity to send An'er out and whispered to Wang Xifeng what she said "after she was drunk".

Wang Xifeng snapped off a jade hairpin and turned pale: "I, I said, my last name is Qin!?"

Ruer looked at her profile carefully and comforted her softly, "There was no one else in the yard. I was the only one who heard it. Don't worry. I even saw a bird standing on the tree!"

"If there were someone else, the bird would have been scared away long ago."

Wang Xifeng relaxed her shoulders slightly and was silent for a long time before she whispered, "Ru'er, it's not that I intentionally concealed this from you, but if you really knew these things, none of you would survive."

Ru'er, who was stroking Wang Xifeng's hair to make a single spiral bun, shuddered, hummed, and looked at her hair: "The young lady cherishes us in her heart, and I know her like a mirror. Don't worry, I won't ask anything I shouldn't ask.

"Except what you let me know, I don't know anything else."

As she spoke, she tied her hair up, looked at it for a moment, and smiled, "Okay!"

Wang Xifeng, who was usually lively, restrained a little. She rubbed her temples and walked out holding Ru'er's hand.

When she sat down at the table, she was still listless.

"The girl drank too much yesterday." An'er brought out the vegetarian food from the small kitchen while nagging, and glared at Ru'er, "You too, we are all asleep, couldn't you persuade her a little?"

"Sister, you're right. I will definitely persuade her next time." Ruer was extremely obedient.

Wang Xifeng lay on the table, picked up two noodles and didn't want to eat anymore, so she pushed the bowl away.

"Haven't you already practiced boxing and taken a bath? Are you still not feeling well?" An'er was a little worried.

Wang Xifeng drank two more mouthfuls of soup and ordered unhappily, "Please ask the kitchen for some porridge and chopped vegetables for lunch."

An Er accepted the order: "Yes."

..............................

After the court was dismissed, the prince sat on the throne in Lizheng Hall and saw two pieces of paper on the table.

"These are all officials with the surname Qin above the fifth rank in the court. But none of them are in the capital." Qinghai reported softly, "Time is short, so I only did a rough check. I found that these adults are all over fifty years old, and none of them has a son under three years old."

The prince fell silent.

But then, Qinghai handed him another piece of paper with only a name and a resume on it: "But this person, Qin Ye, is a clerk in the Ministry of Works, a sixth-rank official, and Jia Zheng of Rongguo Mansion was once his superior.

"I adopted a daughter from Yangshengtang seven years ago, and gave birth to a son the year before last."

seven years ago…

So early, I'm preparing for a rainy day...

The prince pinched a corner of the paper and looked at it for a long time before asking in a low voice, "How is the child doing at home?"

"The girl is named Ke'er. She has a gentle temperament and a delicate mind. But her spleen and stomach are not very good, so she is still thin and small...very delicate.

"Mrs. Qin was already weak, and she was old when she gave birth to her son, so her health has become worse. Now she has to take medicine every day.

"Now it is this seven-year-old girl who helps with the housework at home...washing clothes, cooking, and everything else..."

Qinghai finished speaking in a low voice, paused for a while, and then asked: "Master, do you want me to go..."

"Shut up and get out." The prince was upset and didn't want to hear anything.

Qinghai immediately lowered his head and walked out.

On this day, the prince only drank half a cup of ginseng soup.

Qinghai hid outside the hall and carefully observed the prince's situation.

The servant whom he had quickly transferred from the kitchen to his side hid behind him.

"Master..."

"Shut up and get out."

"Master, how about I go to the small kitchen of Yiqiu Palace and ask what Wang Chenghui had for lunch today?"

"...Yeah. Go ahead."

When he came back, he reported: It was just a big bowl of white porridge, but it was served with more than a dozen side dishes, with all kinds of flavors, sweet, sour, bitter and spicy.

When Qinghai heard this, he pondered for a while, gritted his teeth, and ordered his men to follow suit and set up a table for the prince.

The prince didn't want to eat, his eyes were full of annoyance: "What is this mess!?"

"Your servant, you servant doesn't understand either..." Qinghai said aggrievedly, "It's just that, I heard that Wang Chenghui's place is like this...

"I think... Wang Chenghui is a lucky man. He always gets into trouble by accident and always turns it into a safe place...

"Then I think she herself knows about her nonsense last night...

"Maybe this white porridge is her own solution to the problem?"

The prince's heart was moved. "What did you say? You said that she should know today that she had... talked nonsense last night?"

"Your servant, your servant guessed... Wang Chenghui is good at controlling his subordinates..." Qinghai lowered his head deeply and stopped talking.
