Chapter 28 Maybe it's really a ghost
After Aunt Qu left, An Jiu stood there for a long time. Before going to the warehouse, she met Xiaohua and the other two.
Xiaohua sneered and couldn't help but say sarcastically: "Has someone's keel been built? I wonder what the punishment will be if it's not completed?"
Her smug smile reminded An Jiu of the vicious female supporting role in the domineering boss novels... No, Xiaohua could be considered a vicious cannon fodder at best.
What benefit can she get from saying these words other than satisfying her own desire to talk?
She glanced at Xiaohua and ignored her, intending to leave, but Xiaohua obviously wanted to show off in front of the other two palace maids, and felt that Anjiu's ignoring her made her lose face, so she grabbed Anjiu's arm.
"Why are you leaving? Tell us how your keel is going."
An Jiu slapped her hand.
"What are you doing? It hurts." Xiaohua's hands were red from being hit, and she looked at Anjiu angrily.
An Jiu sneered, turned and left. She went to the warehouse with ease. The one guarding the warehouse was an older palace maid, and everyone called her Liu Ma.
When Nanny Liu saw An Jiu coming, she didn't ask anything. She brought her in and took out a lot of things. These things were obviously not enough for a palace maid, but An Jiu didn't say anything. After all, they were the emperor's things and it would be a waste not to use them.
She took it with peace of mind, and the old palace maid even sent a young palace maid from the warehouse to help her deliver the things.
Shuangxue said enviously: "Aunt Qu is so good to you."
Listen to the name, it is obvious that it was chosen with care. Then look at the names of the people around the dog emperor, they sound just random...
An Jiu's mother loves raising dogs. Every time she raises a new puppy, she names it Hu Zi. The first Hu Zi was caught by a dog dealer, so she still named the second one Hu Zi. Not long after, Hu Zi ran away by himself. She was a little sad. After a few years, she still named the next one Hu Zi...
The names of spring, summer, autumn and winter reminded An Jiu of the saying "tiger is permanent but dogs come and go".
Fortunately, she has gotten rid of the name "Hu Zi" and now she is a dog with her own name.
It’s really a happy thing to think about it.
Shuangxue is talkative and kept talking to Anjiu all the way. Anjiu was afraid of saying something wrong, so he responded in a disjointed manner. In this palace, one should say as little as possible.
"We're here. You're going to live here." Frost and Snow helped move the things in.
An Jiu nodded: "Thank you for your help."
"It's not a problem." Shuangxue said, "It's nice to live here. At least it's quiet."
An Jiu smiled: "Isn't it quieter there?"
The warehouse is a lucrative job. The people who look after the warehouse are all trusted by Aunt Qu. Shuangxue used to serve in the imperial court.
Shuangxue shook her head: "It is quiet, but it is too lonely. Aunt Liu is very strict."
She curled her lips, looked at the house where Anjiu lived, looked for a while and smiled: "Why are you living here alone?"
An Jiu said: "Because I want to build a keel, it's convenient to live here."
"Is that so..." Shuangxue asked again: "Then why did His Majesty let you build the keel?"
An Jiu glanced at her and said in distress: "I don't know either. His Majesty might have been in a bad mood that day. I was standing in front of him, and he just pointed at me."
An Jiu sighed: "I don't know if it can be put together. If it can't be put together..."
Shuangxue showed sympathy: "Don't worry too much."
An Jiu looked outside and said in panic, "Oh, it's almost time. I have to go there quickly."
Shuangxue stood up and said with a smile: "Then I will go back first. You can come and play with me if you are bored."
After seeing off Frost and Snow, An Jiu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
This palace...
It seems that everyone is not that simple.
She quickly packed up her things. The quilt was made of solid material and looked good. The teacup, the teapot, the vase...
An Jiu felt like a mistress kept outside by a man and not to be seen by others.
She sighed and went out to work her second job of the day.
The craftsmen have already started to act. The two eunuchs, Xiao Luzi and Xiao Huazi, are worthy of being members of Guanghua Palace. Although they are young, they are quite reliable in their work.
There's no need for An Jiu, as they already know roughly how to make the dragon bone, so An Jiu doesn't have to worry about it at all.
An Jiu finally had some free time, so she found Aunt Qu.
Aunt Qu asked, "Did you get the things?"
An Jiu nodded: "Thank you, aunt."
Aunt Qu smiled, which was rare.
An Jiu suddenly said: "Aunt, I think Xiaohua may have discovered something..."
Who is Xiaohua? She is Aunt Qu’s friend. She is the one who lived with Anjiu before.
Living in a house, maybe you can really discover something.
"I see."
Aunt Qu didn't say much, just said she knew.
An Jiu left. As for what would happen to Xiaohua, that was not something she considered. After all, Xiaohua said so much to her, and she only said one sentence.
The emperor seemed extremely interested in dragon bones. He came again in the afternoon, and the hair crown on his head had changed. It was not as gorgeous as before, but a simple jade hairpin.
As soon as he came, An Jiu stood up hurriedly and pretended to be busy.
After a while, the emperor's voice came.
【pain……】
An Jiu was stunned.
Where...does it hurt?
She really wanted to look back at the emperor, but was afraid of making eye contact, so she quickly lowered her head and did her own thing. She found that the originally lively eunuch Xiao Luzi also lowered his head, looking at the ants crawling on his toes.
You see, as soon as the boss comes, none of the employees feel at ease.
【ah……】
The emperor let out a long breath and began to lose his focus.
[When did I hit my head? Why don't I remember it at all? ]
An Jiu "..."
Finally I know where he is hurting.
It was the head...
An Jiu wanted to tell him, Your Majesty, you didn't break your hair by accident, you pulled it out by yourself and scratched your head...
[Have I had sleepwalking again recently? I always feel like something is not right. 】
An Jiu was stunned again.
Sleepwalking?
So he thought he was sleepwalking at night?
No no no, absolutely not.
That state is not sleepwalking, it should be split personality.
Split into two personalities.
As An Jiu thought about this, she also began to think divergently.
That doesn't make sense. What modern medicine calls split personality, could it be that a ghost is possessing someone? Since I can possess the original owner, why can't another one possess the emperor?
Ancient people didn't know about personality disorders. Would they have thought that the emperor was possessed by a ghost?
Now, since modern people have never seen ghosts, would they interpret possession by ghosts as split personality?
An Jiu thought casually, and couldn't help but look at the emperor's shadow.
is a...
She shook her head.
Believe in science...
But how do you explain the fact that she took over the original owner's body?
It’s better to believe in ghosts and gods.
Maybe the tyrant in the emperor is really a ghost.
