Chapter 213 Threat
That night, Xihua Palace.
After Rong Fei dismissed the servants and felt safe, she secretly took out a brazier and squatted under the old locust tree.
As usual, he took out the birth dates of all the Rong family's ancestors and arranged them carefully, then knelt on the ground and burned paper money for them.
"Alas... Second Lady, I also had a lover in the past. Back then, our Rong family was in such a difficult situation... You asked me to marry the emperor, and although I didn't want to, I still married him..."
"Not only that, I have always fulfilled my duties and even gave birth to Zhiwei. I have made contributions to the Rong family..."
Rong Fei thought about it, went back to get a plate, and placed the offerings on it properly for the first time. She burned paper money and gold ingots while continuing to chant slowly.
"I've told you before that Zhiwei is stubborn and easily puts herself in trouble, so I asked you to protect her more... But now she's become skin and bones, half-human, half-ghost... It's heartbreaking to see her like that..."
"I just thought, maybe... maybe the dead can't control the affairs of the living?"
"Alas... I don't blame you..."
She sniffed and wiped away her tears gracefully.
Smoky!
"But this time, I found a divine being who can help Zhiwei... The child mentioned that she wanted to accumulate merit... I was thinking, don't you have plenty of that stuff?"
"Although Zhiwei's father, the emperor, is not a perfect person, she is still a member of the Rong family..."
"Besides, Princess Zhaoning even calls me Great-Aunt. Not to mention that we're actually real relatives, she's a truly rare and kind child... With Xiao Tangbao's abilities, you never know when you'll be able to ask her for help!"
"All of us in the Rong family, regardless of where we are now, must work together and look after each other. Only then can we have a better life... Don't you think this makes sense? If..."
Concubine Rong paused.
I made up my mind and threw in another handful of paper money.
"If you can be so open and coax that child Tang Bao into happily saving Zhi Wei from this calamity... I will request permission to leave the palace and renovate the ancestral hall and the ancestral tomb for you... and then secretly burn some talented men and beautiful women for you."
"But if you refuse to show up and help Er Niang this time..."
Rong Fei, who had always been gentle and spoke slowly, suddenly looked gloomy. "I'll go back and seal the ancestral hall! And burn your tablets!!"
Rong Fei's words were threatening, and her expression was extremely serious, not like she was just talking.
The flames in the copper basin, which were flaming with fangs and claws, shook violently...
Rong Fei snorted softly and rolled her eyes. "Don't blame me for being cruel... We share happiness and hardship together... But you all taught me that if my daughter doesn't have a good life, then none of us will!"
After explaining everything, she stood up contentedly, ordered her trusted nanny to pack up everything carefully, turned around and left without looking back.
The next moment, just as Aunt Bai was about to pick up the paper money and gold ingots that had not been thrown into the brazier... a gust of wind blew by, and the thick pile of paper money was all rolled into the brazier, burning it with a whooshing sound!
"Oh! When did the Rong family's ancestors become so fond of money?"
Aunt Bai muttered and simply burned the remaining gold ingots to prevent them from being blown everywhere by the wind!
The moon is at its zenith, and the night is deep and quiet.
In Shoukang Palace, Xiao Tangbao didn't dream of his master, but instead met a group of strange old men and women...
Crying, laughing, gossiping...
In short, they had all kinds of emotions and personalities, pulling her aside and praising her non-stop, saying they wanted to give her merits to thank her for helping their younger generation, Zhiwei...
The next morning, little Tangbao sat listlessly at the dining table, yawning continuously.
The old queen quickly reached out and touched her forehead - it wasn't hot!
"Poor Tang Bao, was he so angry about that dog emperor... that he couldn't sleep well last night?"
Little Tangbao rested his chin on the table, pouted, and was about to complain...
Suddenly, a "huhuhuhu" sound rang in my mind...
Soon, the little guy's eyes lit up when he saw the merit points rising rapidly!
"Great-grandmother, I seemed to see the ancestors of the Rong family last night!"
You have to take care of your aunt’s affairs!
We must take care of it!!
She wanted to see whether it was a ghost or a villain who was doing bad things?
…
For three consecutive days, Xiaotangbao stayed in Shoukang Palace, staying indoors and not seeing anyone.
There is no peace in Gyeongbokgung Palace every day. In addition to the previous maid, two maids have died one after another. In order to investigate the case, the palace guards are almost living in the Queen's Palace!
When she woke up in the morning, the queen sat in front of her dressing table. Looking at the few strands of white hair that had suddenly grown on her forehead, she suddenly swept her dressing box to the ground.
The palace maids around immediately knelt on the ground.
Listening to the noisy noise outside, the queen trembled with anger, closed her eyes, and pressed her chest hard.
The housekeeper stepped forward, her eyes lowered, and she took up the comb and hair oil, carefully covering her gray hair. "Anger damages the liver, Madam, please take care of yourself!"
The old nanny observed the queen's expression and muttered, "Your Majesty, I dare to say something I shouldn't. Your Majesty was previously confined to her house. Although your life was not easy, it was still relatively peaceful..."
"But ever since Princess Yihe moved into our Jingfu Palace, not only have there been deaths, but every night, the terrifying crying never stops!"
"Right now, the palace is full of rumors about our Gyeongbokgung Palace being haunted..."
"...???" How could such a thing happen? The Queen gritted her teeth and clenched her fists.
"Your Majesty, since there is no peace in our palace, it will definitely affect Princess Yihe's rest! In my opinion, it is better to..."
Bang!
Yun Yihe slammed the door open.
The Queen was just about to scold her for being unruly and learning to eavesdrop at such a young age... Yun Yihe picked up the hem of her skirt, rushed to her, and knelt down with a "dong".
She secretly glanced at the Princess of Qi, her face pale and trembling as she kowtowed to Empress Cao:
"Please, Grandmother, please don't chase Yihe away, okay?! Yihe will be a good boy and will never cause any trouble for you!!"
"Hasn't the Empress Dowager always wanted Yihe to be friends with Yuntang? Yihe, Yihe, I'm going to Shoukang Palace right now to apologize to Yuntang!"
Queen: “…”
…
In the Zichen Palace.
Emperor Liang looked at Shen Ying with a serious look.
Shen Ying met his gaze, knelt down with a thud, took out two amulets from his sleeves, and presented them with both hands:
"Your Majesty, this is something I finally managed to obtain from the ladies in the harem... The gates of Shoukang Palace are tightly shut, and I'm unable to summon Princess Zhaoning!"
Emperor Liang: “…”
He hadn't seen any ghosts in the past two days, but that bitch Xiao had been haunting his dreams every night, leaving him with no peace...
It's really annoying!
Moreover...if that murderous ghost ever decides to kill him...what's the use of him hiring more internal guards?
Emperor Liang was so nervous that his body trembled slightly, and he didn't even feel his nails digging into his flesh...
"Go to Shoukang Palace! Quickly!"
