Seventy-seven meeting GL

Chapter 11 The Palace Haunted

Ye Wangfu at night

The moon is on the branches, and the breeze is coming.Lang Yinshi sat in the courtyard, drinking a pot of wine by himself.

A series of events today made him suddenly enlightened.

"No wonder she didn't feel unfamiliar when she saw me, as if she knew me a long time ago."

Oh, it turned out to be an old acquaintance.

Xu Shi had a good impression of the young general of Dongcheng at that time, and when he saw Mo Ziyou again, his mood was different from before, and he felt much more cordial.Thinking of this, Lang Yinshi suddenly felt a lot lighter in his heart.

"My lord, why are you so happy today?" Lan Yize came in from outside the courtyard, holding a fan and gossiping.

"It's okay." Lang Yinshi replied, looking up at him, "Let's have a drink together?"

Lan Yize sat down opposite the stone table, "It's okay? Since I returned to Beijing, I don't see you smiling very often. There is nothing happy today, and we don't believe anything we say."

Speaking of which, Lan Yize once discussed with Lan Xi, why did the prince become extremely silent and serious after returning to Beijing?After thinking about it, Lanxi came to the conclusion that Lang Yinshi was afraid of strangers.

"What are you afraid of?" Lan Yize asked, "The prince has killed countless enemies on the battlefield, and he is not afraid of death, but afraid of life?"

"This student refers to strangers." Lan Xi replied solemnly, "The prince has been introverted since he was a child, and he is uncomfortable when he meets unfamiliar people, and his face is also swollen. I have been taking care of the prince's daily life since I was a child." , I know him best. Back in the capital, the whole environment is unfamiliar, and the prince will have to get used to it for a long time!"

"Pfft, hahaha." Lan Yize laughed out loud when he heard the words. It was still hard for him to imagine that Ye Wang Lang Yinshi, who usually appeared serious in public, was actually disturbed and panicked.

All of a sudden, the airs of a prince are gone...

"Oh, seeing the prince smiling and drinking some wine, I feel relieved. I was worried that the emperor would withdraw your military power, and you might be in a bad mood and under too much pressure!"

Think about the No. 1 general galloping on the battlefield, and when he returned to the capital, he lived in a corner and did nothing.Lan Yize couldn't help feeling sorry for his prince.

Lang Yinshi smiled, "Isn't this king still with you? Intrigues and win over people's hearts, don't you still have the third brother? It's not that you have nothing to rely on." Lang Yinshi comforted.

"Yize feels that the prince is too aggrieved." Lan Yize regretted, "Since the emperor took back your military power a few days ago, your treatment has plummeted and you have been excluded. People look at it like a fool.”

"You are not angry, but we feel uncomfortable looking at those snobbish ministers. The emperor is also saying one thing, saying the same thing, while saying that he loves you, while taking back his military power, and clearly ostracizing you. Sure enough, the emperor is not happy. Great affection!"

Lang Yinshi heard the words amused, and drank the wine in his cup in one gulp.

"Yize, haven't you been turning your head around very quickly recently. Haven't you figured out such a simple truth?"

"Since we returned to the capital, we have been living under the noses of various forces. If there is any movement, we will be burned. Now we are alone and weak. If we are placed on the cusp of the storm, we will be fish on the chopping board and be slaughtered by others. So it’s beneficial to keep a low profile.”

"What's more, even if I don't do anything, as long as I have a close relationship with King Xuan, it will invisibly increase the threat to other forces. The status of King Xuan is already second only to the crown prince, and no one will allow me to enter his palace with military power. camp."

"You mean, those people don't like King Xuan but they can't do anything about him, but they might use you as an example to scare others?"

"Military power attracts people's fear, and it is easy to be branded as a treasonist. If this is the case, the third brother may also regard me as an abandoned son."

"Then what if you don't join King Xuan's side? You also said that King Xuan is just using us." Lan Yize raised the possibility, "Why should the prince be obsessed with King Xuan? After all, the emperor has not withdrawn your invitation before. military power."

Lang Yinshi smiled helplessly, "He and I are siblings, and we are three points closer than others. Even if I don't get close to him, will outsiders believe it? It's so difficult to set up your own family. It's not an attachment, it's a lack of choice. Three Brother also understands this."

"So you are bound to form an alliance with King Xuan. In this way, the power will be too large, and it will be logical for the emperor to deprive you of your military power." Lan Yize suddenly realized.

"What he did is also a kind of protection for everyone. Father doesn't want his sons to be at war." Lang Yinshi nodded.

"As for the ministers who underestimated the king, they gave him space instead. Soldiers understand the importance of ambush better. What's the point of being misunderstood and excluded for a while? Avoiding people's eyes and ears and developing strength are more critical."

Lan Yize tapped his fan, nodded and said, "In this way, now that the prince is in the capital, he is truly settled down. No wonder he saw the smiling face of the prince as soon as he entered the door."

Lang Yinshi was taken aback for a moment, that was irrelevant...

"From my observations of the capital these days, the situation in the capital is already very tense, and there is no room for any sparks to be added, otherwise there will be an uproar... No matter when the fire, medicine, or barrel explodes, we will all be prepared to do so." You must not be the guide, fire, or lead." Lang Yinshi specially instructed.

"Yize understands."

"I've done everything I told you?"

"That's natural. When did I delay the task that the lord entrusted to me?" Lan Yize shook his fan and smiled, "However, I came today to report something. The palace has not been peaceful recently." Lan Yize changed his color and said seriously.

"how?"

"In the territory of the Crown Prince of the Eastern Palace, a few maidens have died in recent days. The incident is quite evil. Now it is rumored that there is some kind of monster lurking in the Eastern Palace, making people panic. The emperor already knew about this, but he has not announced it to the public. He is afraid that everyone will be superstitious. It has affected the crown prince's position in the Eastern Palace."

"Hmm." Lang Yinshi asked, "Do you think there are monsters?"

"How is it possible?" Lan Yize shook his head, "It's likely that someone is doing the trick again, but I don't know which side it is."

"It's not the third brother's style to be haunted by monsters. It seems that some people can't help it anymore." Lang Yinshi muttered to himself. "The guide, fire, and cables have been ignited."

"It's not reliable just to listen to the news report. You need a badge to enter and exit the palace. Uncle Chen has someone in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I want him to help you find one, so I can go to the palace to find out." Lan Yize suggested.

"You can discuss this with Uncle Chen, he knows more about the affairs of the palace than I do."

"Yes."

afternoon three days later

Lang Yinshi was invited by the Eighth Prince Lang Leijin to gather in the palace. Lang Leijin has a simple personality and has a good relationship with Lang Yinshi since childhood.The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, and they talked happily.It was already dark when he left, he pushed back the bearer of the soft sedan chair, and quietly walked towards the East Palace.

It was rumored that the two maidens who died died in the back garden of the East Palace at night. Their deaths were extremely terrifying, so they were rumored to be possessed by evil spirits.It is said that before the prince married the princess, he once favored a beautiful court lady. When the prince got married, the maid was pregnant. In order not to let her affect his marriage, the prince ordered her to be drowned in the back garden. in the well.

This is also the historical source of the prince's East Palace haunted by monsters.

He has done nothing wrong and is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door. The prince's disgraceful past has also become known to everyone because of ghosts.Whether it was a human or a ghost, the prince was very angry, and sent guards to guard day and night, wishing to get rid of this monster as soon as possible.

Lang Yinshi only felt it was absurd, it had been seven years since the crown prince married the crown princess, this monster would not make trouble early or late, but it happened at this time, wouldn't it be strange?If it is said that no one is behind the scenes, he will not believe it.

The gate of the Eastern Palace is guarded daily, and registration is required for entry and exit. Even if it is a person in the Imperial Palace, it is not easy to sneak in. If there is someone who is behind the scenes, that person must be hiding inside the Eastern Palace.

Walking outside the courtyard of the East Palace, I saw lights lit up everywhere inside, and there were patrolling guards walking around in the palace, and the guard had already been stepped up.

Lang Yinshi was investigating the case in private, and it was inconvenient for others to see him, so he jumped onto the fence of the courtyard.He trotted along the fence and jumped onto the roof of the building.He bent down, looked around on the roof, and soon reached the back garden.

There are many entrances in the back garden, leading to the East Palace in all directions. The trees are towering. Even if the path is brightly lit, it can’t resist the darkness. Guards are stationed in the pavilion on the rockery, and there is a well and a water tank next to the flower garden. Reserve to prevent fire.

Lang Yinshi took a glance, and found that the haunted well was no different from ordinary ones.He waited for a while, and when he saw that everything was normal, he planned to leave.As soon as he arrived at the courtyard wall in the northwest, he suddenly heard a basin hit the ground not far away, accompanied by a sharp female voice, "Ah——!!"

"There's a ghost!!!"

He turned over and looked for the source of the sound. Under the kitchen porch, a maid squatted on the ground, holding her head and shouting for help. There was sprinkled water and a copper basin on the ground.Soon a guard rushed over, "What are you calling? What did you see?"

"There is a ghost!! A ghost that can float!! She is wearing white clothes, going, going there..." The maid pointed to the courtyard to the east.The guards rushed forward with torches and big knives in their hands, rushing towards the east in a hurry.

Lang Yinshi followed the direction of the crowd and was about to fall down the courtyard wall. He glanced back, but saw the maid suddenly got up, turned around and walked westward without taking the basin.

"What is she doing there? Everyone is heading east."

An ominous feeling came to his heart, Lang Yinshi stopped in his tracks and quietly followed the maid.

Seeing her turn twice, she disappeared from sight. Lang Yinshi looked around on the roof, but he didn't see anyone, so he had no choice but to get down and grope along the porch in the direction.

Turning out from the side door, a person was lying at the end of the road.Lang Yinshi moved closer, and saw a guard with wide-eyed eyes, bleeding from his orifices, black lips, a terrifying expression, and a half-curled body.Lang Yinshi stretched out his hand, his body temperature was normal, and there was no wound on his body, obviously he just died.

Still waiting to see what happened, suddenly there was a coat floating in the porch out of the corner of his eye.Lang Yinshi didn't delay, he flew to catch up with him, the man moved very fast, he jumped onto the roof.

"It turns out that he is also good at martial arts." Lang Yin said in relief.After that, step on the tiles.

That person was dressed in the clothes of a court lady, and he was speeding across the rooftops in the night, his figure was very agile.Lang Yinshi possesses peerless martial arts, and his movements are extremely fast, which is difficult for ordinary people to match.Seeing that she was about to be overtaken, the woman suddenly turned around, threw a handful of powder, and rushed towards Lang Yinshi with a strange fragrance in the night wind.Lang Yinshi knew that the guard died strangely, he was afraid that he had been poisoned, he thought that this woman's methods were vicious, so he must not be careless, he quickly waved his sleeves to disperse the powder, and retreated holding his breath.When he looked up again, the woman had jumped out of the East Palace a few times and disappeared between the buildings.

Unwillingly, Lang Yinshi chased after him for a while, but outside the East Palace, the light was dim, and there were many shadows between the buildings, so it was hard to find any traces.Apart from knowing that this woman does not belong to the Eastern Palace, he did not get any information.

Lang Yinshi got annoyed for a while, found a secluded place, and jumped off the roof.The courtyard in front of him was densely covered with bamboo, and it was quite quiet. He was about to find a way out of the palace, when suddenly his mind sank, his feet went limp, and he collapsed straight on the ground.
