Dragon Pattern Roll Set

Taishi Pang talked about some things about Qige back then, which made everyone doubtful, especially when the empress dowager mentioned that Zhao Pu was frightened by Qige’s ghost when he was a child, which made everyone feel unbelievable—what kind of ghost is it? , can scare Zhao Pu?

Gongsun suddenly asked the Empress Dowager very curiously, "How did Zhao Pu feel when he was frightened?"

The empress dowager was slightly taken aback, and then asked with a smile, "Sir, do you mean Ze Lan's reaction after being frightened?"

Gongsun nodded.

"Yeah." The concubine really thought about it seriously, and said, "It's not easy to scare Ze Lan. In my impression, he was scared twice. After being scared, it's fun. He can kick things. Then swear with Ouyang."

Gongsun blinked, "Did he get scared together with Ouyang?"

"Five of them went to the Four Seas Palace together." The Empress Dowager covered her mouth, "When they came back, their little faces were all dark green, but they were only teenagers at that time."

"Sihai Palace?" Zhan Zhao was curious.

Bai Yutang was even more curious, "Are the five of them scared?"

Toffee nodded, "Yes!"

Seeing everyone's doubts about the Palace of the Four Seas, the Eighth Prince said, "The Palace of the Four Seas is an abandoned palace. To the west of the palace, it is behind the Furong Garden. No one has gone in for ten years."

Zhan Zhao seems to have remembered, "Oh! I said that the wall on the west side of the imperial garden is recessed, and I was wondering what kind of structure it is. Could it be a sealed wall?"

The Grand Master nodded, "The west side of the palace is quite evil, especially the area around it. It's all separated. I had a look at the famous Fengshui master, Master Youming, and he said that there are indeed some problems with Fengshui in that place, and the evil spirit is too strong."

"Heavy evil spirit?" Gongsun has also studied Fengshui. Master Youming is a master of Taoism. He is proficient in Fengshui and Zhouyi gossip.

"How could the imperial palace build another courtyard in such a place with so much evil spirit?" Bai Yutang was puzzled.

"This palace was left over earlier. There have been several great turmoils in the past dynasties, and something happened every time. In addition, the terrain is low and gloomy. When you get close, there will be gusts of wind." After all, the Eighth Prince was also a palace when he was young. Growing up in middle school, I was deeply impressed by this palace, "Now it is blocked by a wall, so it is not so scary. When I was a child, there was no wall, and the building looked eerie from a distance!"

The empress dowager also nodded, and said, "When I was young, I heard some old people in the palace say that the place was not good in the first place. It used to be a cold palace, and there were four wells. The previous dynasty was chaotic, and the dynasty changed too frequently. This time, a large number of court ladies and eunuchs threw themselves into the well for fear of being caught."

"There are so many people who believe this kind of thing?" Bai Yutang seemed to disapprove, "Is there someone pretending to be a ghost?"

"Ze Lan thought so when he was a child, and he didn't believe in evil, so he ran in with a bunch of brothers to play. Isn't that scary?"

The Eighth Prince also nodded, "I was quite worried at the time. I wanted to find someone to demolish that building to avoid future troubles, but Master Weichen suggested to keep it and seal it up."

Everyone was surprised.

Tianzun asked, "Is it Mochen's idea to seal it?"

The Eighth Prince nodded, "Master Weichen said that everything in the world has a cause and effect. Although the haunted house has a lot of evil spirits, the palace is the place where the evil spirits are the most serious. Leaving that building can still block the evil spirits. All the unclean things If you gather here, you won’t come out to harm people, isn’t it good? Existence is caused by cause and effect, let nature take its course.”

Yin Hou and Tianzun raised their eyebrows - the great monk is mysterious again.

"Is it the Furong Garden or the Four Seas Palace that the emperor wants to investigate this time?" Zhan Zhao asked.

Gongsun was also curious, "Didn't everyone live in peace earlier, why did you suddenly mention it now?"

Taishi Pang frowned, and said in a low voice, "Something has happened! At the end of last year, there were a few maids and eunuchs in the palace who were idle playing tricks."

Everyone was puzzled, "A trick?"

"Hey." The empress dowager sighed, "There are not many concubines in the emperor's harem, but there are many servant girls. In the past, Concubine Pang was more tempered and could withstand shocks, and the empress dowager was stricter, so the maids and eunuchs were very disciplined." But in the past two years, after Concubine Pang became a mother, she has become more tolerant and her temper has improved."

The grand master also nodded aside, "It's much gentler than before."

"The empress dowager doesn't care anymore when she's old, and the other concubines are docile." The empress dowager said helplessly, "Is there nothing wrong with this palace? Then I started to play around, and eventually got into trouble."

Everyone thought, what kind of trouble can a group of little eunuchs and maids play?

"Did they go to the haunted house because they were too free?" Zhan Zhao asked.

The grand master smiled wryly, "Yo, guard Zhan, do you think they are all flying over the wall like you? Those kids just gamble and gossip."

People don't understand what is the connection.

"However, there were a few brave ones who played some things that shouldn't be played." The grand master said, "To be more specific, it was done by the maids in Concubine Qiong's palace. There is a maid named Yan Cui'er, Concubine Qiong's personal servant girl lost an earring. This pair of earrings was given to her by Concubine Qiong. In and out may have been lost somewhere, a group of maids searched hard in the palace but couldn't find it, so I don't know who came up with the idea, they said they asked the goblins."

Everyone looked at each other.

The fourth son curiously asked Gongsun, "Daddy, what is a goblin?"

"Well, there is a kind of fairy in the legend, which is formed after the flowers and plants on the ground die, and summons goblins to help find all the things lost on the ground." After finishing speaking, Gongsun emphasized to the stunned crowd, "It's just a legend, there is no People have seen it."

"Those maids summoned goblins, who knows what they summoned!" The grand master shook his head, "They were only half-serious and half-playful, who knew that they read the formula wrong, who do you think they summoned?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Bai Yutang didn't quite know what it meant to be summoned, "Summon?"

"Is it because the psychic was upper body!" Tai Shishen said mysteriously, "Qige! They called Qige out!"

Everyone was stunned.

Zhan Zhao couldn't laugh or cry, "Is someone playing a prank?"

Gongsun also nodded, and patted the ostrich-shaped little Sizi in his arms by the way.

"A few maids played psychics hand in hand, and awakened Qige's ghost in a daze." The grand master summed it up, "The key is what Qige said."

"What did she say?"

"The one on Qige is Yan Cuier's body. She said that she was killed by someone back then, and the person who killed her is still in the palace." The grand master raised his eyebrows.

Everyone frowned.

Bai Yutang thought for a while, "Could it be that Yan Cui'er knew about Qige's matter, so she said it under the pretense of being wrong, and wanted someone to avenge Qige?"

The grand master waved his hand lightly, "Don't worry, the matter is not over yet."

Everyone frowned as they listened to the follow-up.

"Those maids said that Yan Cui'er's eyes and voice changed when she spoke." The grand master continued, "Qige seems to be very resentful. She said that if the murderer who killed her is not found, she will curse the whole city." There is no peace in the imperial palace, Xiangxiang was the first to curse."

Everyone felt chills on the back of their necks - didn't this kill Zhao Zhen?

Pang Yu jumped up "Huo". "Who is she cursing? The young master asked the Taoist to curse her out of her wits first, believe it or not!"

"Hey..." The Grand Master waved his hand, signaling Pang Yu not to worry, "This matter is outrageous and unbelievable, but you are not worried?"

Pang Yu felt a little nervous when he heard it, "Why is this female ghost like this?"

"Didn't she say who killed her?" Bai Yutang asked.

"She didn't know herself. She just said that the clue to the murderer who killed her was in the Palace of the Four Seas." Grand Master Pang said, "After she finished speaking, she left Yan Cui'er's body. After that, Cui'er became seriously ill. Several imperial doctors finally saved her life, but she doesn't remember what happened that night, but there is a very strange thing."

Everyone looked at the Grand Master, "Isn't this weird enough? Is there anything more weird?"

"From the time when Cui'er was psychic until she became ill, she only had one earring on her ear, didn't she lose the other one?" the grand master asked.

Everyone nodded. Wasn't that girl looking for some goblins just to find earrings?

"Nangong sent powerful guards to protect her, and the palace was heavily guarded, but the next morning... Yan Cui'er had two earrings on her ears." The grand master raised an eyebrow, "The other one came back."

Everyone was stunned.

The fourth son was about to get into Gongsun's creaking nest, his little face was pale.

Xiao Liangzi's eyes widened when he heard it, "How did you get the earring back?"

The grand master spread his hands, "No one knows."

"That thing happened for more than half a year." Zhan Zhao counted the days, "It didn't come true either."

"Fortunately, it's true that it didn't come true, and everything is safe and sound, but the fact that it didn't come true doesn't mean that nothing happened..." The grand master was quite worried when he said this, "Xiangxiang almost had an accident every month for the past few months."

"What's going on?" Pang Yu was so heartbroken, this niece was his life.

"At the beginning of this year, Xiangxiang was standing by the pond to feed the carp with the emperor, and suddenly fell into the lotus pond. Fortunately, the emperor caught it quickly, and it was a mess. The emperor asked what happened to Xiangxiang, Xiangxiang Rubbing his back, he said, 'Push and push'." The grand master said.

Pang Yu's eyes widened, "Someone pushed her?"

The grand master nodded, "The emperor is right beside her, surrounded by great experts, and there are two eunuchs standing behind her, it is impossible for anyone within a mile to approach her!"

Tianzun touched his chin, "This is really strange."

"In early spring, my daughter and the Queen Mother were measuring Xiangxiang's clothes in the yard, when suddenly a glazed tile fell from the room and hit Xiangxiang's head. Fortunately, Eunuch Liu caught the tile." Mrs. The master sighed, "Eunuch Liu went up to the roof immediately, but he was sure that no one was there at that time, and the shadow guards didn't notice anyone at all. But the glazed tile was originally good, so there is no reason why it would fall."

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang glanced at each other. Eunuch Liu is the queen mother's personal eunuch, and that old eunuch's kung fu is not so good. It is impossible for someone to approach silently without him and the shadow guards noticing it at all.

"Just a few days ago, another incident happened." The grand master continued, "Xiangxiang was learning calligraphy with Master Liang that day, and the emperor happened to be free, reading Xiangxiang's copybook. Very good, suddenly stopped writing, dazed."

"Are you tired?" Gongsun asked, "When the fourth son was learning calligraphy, he used to draw on the copybooks, and suddenly he fell asleep when he got tired."

"The emperor also thought that Xiangxiang was asleep." The grand master said, "But at this moment, Xiangxiang suddenly wrote the word 'Qige' on the blank space of the paper."

Everyone gasped.

"The emperor threw away all the pens in her hand and rushed out of the study with his daughter in his arms. Mr. Liang was also at a loss." The grand master said, "Xiangxiang has only learned calligraphy for a few days? He can trace calligraphy, but he can't write seven words at all." The word song."

Gongsun covered his mouth in shock, "What about after that?"

"The emperor called a doctor to check Xiangxiang. He is not sick at all. Xiangxiang is also normal. He can call mother and father. He is hungry, eats and sleepy. The emperor called Master Weichen." The grand master was helpless, "Master Buweichen and Eunuch Liu guard Xiangxiang for twelve hours a day, and there are hundreds of shadow guards around the door, three floors inside and three floors outside, my daughter can't sleep well at night, those two have big dark circles! "

"Father, why didn't you say such a big thing earlier?" Pang Yu jumped up.

"It was nothing before." The grand master was also very confused, "The one that happened in the past half a month is the most outrageous! At that time, the emperor knew that you were on your way home, so he thought that he could thoroughly investigate this matter when you came back. , who knew it would suddenly become so weird."

Everyone felt puzzled after hearing it.

Yin Hou didn't speak, but he still showed doubts, "It's really hard to explain why Xiangxiang wrote the word 'Seven Songs' by herself."

"In order to appease Qige, the emperor has sent craftsmen to start tearing down the walls outside Sihai Building and Furong Garden. The walls built back then were too thick, and it may take a few days to tear them down. The queen mother also burned incense in front of Furong Garden to pray, and told Qige, I will definitely help her find out who killed her, and let her give some time."

Speaking of this, Grand Master sighed, "When the Empress Dowager said this, all the candles and lanterns suddenly went out...a palace lantern in the Furong Garden lit up."

The corners of everyone's mouths twitched, this is really the rhythm of haunting!

"When the guards are in a hurry to light the candles, guess what will happen?" the grand master asked.

Pang Yu was about to die of anxiety, "Father, don't be fooled, tell me quickly!"

"There are two characters 'Thirty' written in blood on the table." The Grand Master replied.

"Thirty? What do you mean?" Bai Yutang asked.

The Grand Master shook his head, "I don't know. But when the lights went out, it happened that the Empress Dowager discussed with Qige and asked her to give her a few days...so..."

"Is Qige limited to solve the case within 30 days?" Zhan Zhao asked.

The Grand Master nodded, "I think so too."

"This is too weird." Zhan Zhao found it inconceivable.

"I've never believed in ghosts and gods either." Gongsun shook his head, "It's just...there were so many masters at that time, if it was a trick, how did it work?"

Bai Yutang felt that this was not the point, "Qige's threat to Xiangxiang is indeed unforgivable, but her request is not too unreasonable."

Everyone nodded—whether it was a real murderous ghost or someone pretending to be a ghost, Qige's purpose was to find out the mysterious murder case in the palace 12 years ago. After the investigation, wouldn't the truth be revealed?When her resentment was lifted, Xiangxiang would naturally be in no danger.And if the murderer is really still in the palace, there is no guarantee that he is not a dangerous person.

"To investigate the case, we must first determine the cause of Qige's death." Gongsun asked the Grand Master, "Where is her body buried?"

The grand master shook his head, "Qige was cremated."

"What?" Zhan Zhao frowned, "Why cremated?"

"She died for no apparent reason at the time, the people in the palace may have some strange illness, and she has no family, so she was cremated as usual." The Grand Master replied.

"Where are the ashes?" Gongsun's eyes froze, "Where are they?"

"Uh...it's buried at the foot of the green hill." The Grand Master asked, "Sir, is the ashes useful?"

Gongsun stood up, "Turn into ashes and I can find out how she died!" After speaking, he took the shadow guard servant and went to dig up the ashes.

Everyone looked at Gongsun's back silently, feeling a little strange—is it an illusion?It seems that Mr. Gongsun paid more attention to this case than to other cases.

The queen mother smiled slightly, nodded and drank tea.

Zhan Zhao also stood up, said hello to the grand master and eight kings, and dragged Bai Yutang out.

After leaving the door, Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "Where are you going?"

Zhan Zhao smiled, "Naturally, go and see the Furong Garden and Sihai Building!"

The two walked for a while, and when they turned around, they saw Yin Hou and Tianzun swaying to follow, behind them were Bao Yan and Pang Yu, and Xiao Liangzi and Xiao Sizi who were holding hands, and Xiao Wu who was like a fart and passing over his head. Yaoyao.

Zhan Zhao took a deep breath, "Oh, what are you doing here when we investigate the case?"

Everyone looks up to the sky - are we curious too?

Bai Yutang looked at Yaoyao who was hovering in the air, but he was also a little weak.

In the mansion, Grand Master Pang ran out, "Let's go together, the emperor just said that he wanted to take a look at Bailong."

Helpless, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang had no choice but to "support the old and the young", and brought two unreliable pets into the palace.
