The legend of the haunted palace is about more than just a group of guards skipping around the corner.
Screams were also heard from the prince's bedroom!
"Don't come over here!!"
The prince suddenly sat up from the bed, but the familiar bedroom was still the same, and the strong man with a bloody head like a black tower was not in front of him.
Are you...having a nightmare...
The prince exhaled.
He was determined to become emperor and surpass his father, and of course he also learned from the old emperor on a daily basis.
The old emperor's bedroom rarely had concubines sleeping with him, and the same was true for the prince's bedroom.
Before he went to bed, he dismissed all the eunuchs and palace maids, so the bedroom was particularly quiet and deserted at this time.
The most ruthless thing is the darkness outside the window. Although the prince imitated many of the old emperor's words and deeds in private, tonight he suddenly understood the feeling of calling himself "I".
But I only kind of understand it.
Soon, he completely understood what "widowed" meant.
Suddenly, there was a loud "bang" and the bedroom door was pushed open with force.
"Snap", "Snap", "Snap".
It seems like something came in.
The thing moved slowly, with long intervals between each step, and there was a loud sound, as if something hard was hammering the ground.
Step by step, even along with the footsteps, something slid and fell to the ground, colliding with the wooden floor, making a slight sound.
From the perspective of feng shui, it is unlucky to have the bed facing the door.
In the view of the ancients, home is a safe house, and the door is the key link to keep all filth out of the house.
From the perspective of geomancy, a branch of science, if people get up before going to bed for a long time and see the door of the house, it will add some bad psychological hints to their hearts and cause nightmares.
Therefore, in general, wealthy families have a wall behind the gate of their houses, and there is also a screen inside the house to block the door.
As the imperial capital of the Great Qi Dynasty and the prince's bedroom, its decoration was of course very carefully considered.
The prince could not see the source of the sound, but he had just had a nightmare before waking up. The sudden coldness in the bedroom and the inexplicable noise also made him feel alarmed.
"Someone come!"
"Someone come!!! There's an assassin!!"
But no matter how he shouted, the bedroom remained as quiet as before.
Apart from the "pop" and "pop" sounds that sounded at long intervals, there was only his shouting.
It was as if the guards in the imperial city couldn't hear the noise here, as if the eunuchs and palace maids hadn't been waiting nearby...
It seemed as if he was the only one in the entire prince's bedroom.
A dry and harsh sound was heard.
"My good son is having a nightmare again?"
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. I'll come to see you..."
The strange footsteps stopped, but half a head slowly popped out from the edge of the screen.
Although there was a crown on the head, the face was deformed, the flesh on the face was dry and rotten, and there were even corpse worms crawling in the ulcerated skin.
What is this thing!
The prince's pupils dilated, he screamed, and wanted to faint, but found that he couldn't.
Under the dry gray hair, the eyes that were particularly prominent because of their dryness stared at him intently.
The mouth opens and closes, but the sound does not seem to come from the mouth because the picture and the sound are not synchronized.
"My dear, it's been so long, why don't you come to see me?"
"I have no choice but to come and see you~!"
…
In the bedroom, the prince was shouting and yelling.
Outside the bedroom, a much larger group of zombies stood quietly, motionless.
Of course, in addition to these "honor guards", there were also many living people kneeling.
The old emperor was very particular about not killing people if they knelt down.
In front of a kneeling eunuch, Kong Sheng and Kong Han'an's faces turned ashen.
In fact, if it weren’t for Kong Hanan, the prince shouldn’t have woken up so early.
The nightmare that Zhong Kui had given to the prince was ended, and he was now standing quietly behind Kong Hanan.
Zhong Kui was not at all anxious when interrupted by his idol.
He knew that there was still a nightmare waiting for the prince inside.
"My name is Zhao Yao, and I'm such a good person!"
"If Prime Minister Pluto doesn't believe me, you can check my entire life. I have never committed any crime..."
"This is all the Crown Prince's idea. It has nothing to do with me. The Crown Prince said that as the future Emperor, he wanted to teach the Prime Minister a lesson. He has always looked down on Hades, believing that his current achievements are merely..."
“That’s enough!”
The usually gentle Confucius interrupted Zhao Yao with an angry roar.
For the first time, he felt despair...
Even though Kong Hanan saw the decline of the Great Qi Kingdom, even though the old emperor himself said that the prince did not have the qualities of an emperor...
He has never been so desperate...
Kong Sheng took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and began to give orders.
"Everyone who knows this news will be killed, no one will be spared!"
"Zhong Kui, the champion of the Huiyuan, suddenly fell seriously ill..."
Kong Hanan sneered.
"Uncle, do you think this news can be suppressed?"
"You can shut people's mouths, but can you shut the mouths of ghosts in our underworld?"
"Or, can you shut me up?"
They both knew that if this news got out, the surviving families of various countries would definitely rebel, and the rich and poor families in various places, big and small, would completely lose all hope in the Great Qi court.
There is a saying that goes, "If the king wants his subjects to die, the subjects have to die."
But if there really is someone who thinks so and does so, then this empire will collapse rapidly like the Titanic hitting an iceberg.
