Fireworks are set off in the palace every year, and people have to stay up until the next morning, otherwise their souls will be taken away.
As for why souls leave during the New Year, no one knows, but everyone says so.
In the room, Xiaoqiu and Xiaoxia were talking about interesting things, and some palace maids were sitting around eating melon seeds.
As soon as An Jiu came in, the scene was quiet for a moment, and everyone's reaction when they saw her was the same as when she saw the lackey of her immediate boss.
Instead, 께秋 stood up and said with a smile: "께깇, come here quickly, there are candied fruits distributed by the palace."
Xiao Xia also gave her a handful of melon seeds to eat.
When An Jiu sat over, the others started to feel a little reserved.
An Jiu pretended not to see it and asked, "What are you talking about?"
One of the palace maids with a round face looked at An Jiu, seemed to hesitate for a moment and said, "Sister Xiao Xiao, please don't be angry when we tell you."
An Jiu: "..."
The dragon slayer finally defeated the dragon.
Is she finally living the life she hates?
"You say." An Jiu said with a smile.
The round-faced maid said, "We think there might be something unclean in Guanghua Palace."
This is extremely outrageous. If someone with ulterior motives hears it, it might cost you your life.
An Jiu narrowed her eyes, and Xiao Qiu and Xiao Xia looked at An Jiu at the same time, as if to see her reaction.
"How is it dirty?" An Jiu asked.
The round-faced maid lowered her voice deliberately, as if someone was eavesdropping, and said, "One night, when I woke up to go to the bathroom, I saw a black shadow floating past. The black shadow was very fast, and it floated past in a whoosh..."
The round-faced palace maid was still frightened.
An Jiu: "..."
I thought I was going to hear some palace version of the legend, but...
That’s it? ? ?
That shadow must be the tyrant.
It's amazing that the emperor made himself the palace version of the legend.
"Is this true? You must have seen it wrong." 께秋 asked uncertainly.
She seemed to have seen it once when she got up at night, but the shadow was so fast that it passed by in a flash. She thought she was dazzled.
The round-faced maid shook her head: "You are definitely not mistaken. Not just once, but several times, you saw a black shadow go to the storehouse..."
An Jiu: "..."
She felt that the warehouse might not have the right accounts again.
Moreover, the round-faced palace maid was too often up at night.
The round-faced maid paused and said, "The storehouse is also very scary. People always die there, and that Xiaohua disappeared for no apparent reason."
An Jiu: "..."
really……
As they were talking, someone behind them said that the fireworks were about to start, so everyone put on their clothes and went back.
Originally, after the palace banquet, the emperor and the concubines were going to watch it together, but with so many things happening tonight, the event was cancelled.
An Jiu looked at the entrance of Guanghua Palace. The emperor didn't come out. She went over and asked Xiao Fuzi, "Where is your Majesty?"
Fuzi rubbed his hands: "Your Majesty is out."
He looked around and then said, "The one who left with King Jing must have gone to see the Queen Mother."
The Queen Mother woke up from a nightmare.
"Heng'er."
She got up and could hear firecrackers outside.
"Where is Heng'er?" The Queen Mother's shout startled the people behind. When the guard saw that she had woken up, he hurried to report it, and soon the Emperor and Prince Jing arrived.
When the Queen Mother saw the Emperor, her eyes flashed with intense hatred.
"You bastard, what did you do to Heng'er?"
King Jing had a bad temper, and her words were irritating to him. Before he could open his mouth, the emperor suddenly said, "I am the son of my father, there is no doubt about that. As for the Prince of Ruyang... due to the reputation of the Queen Mother, it is very suspicious."
What he meant was that Prince Ruyang was the bastard.
The Queen Mother was so angry at him that she almost vomited blood again.
"You... you dare to insult me..."
The emperor still had that annoying expression on his face: "It's not an insult, I'm just stating a fact."
The Queen Mother was so angry that her face turned pale and she was about to vomit blood again. Prince Jing looked at the Emperor speechlessly. If anyone was to be infuriated, he was the one.
King Jing coughed dryly and said, "Queen Mother, Prince Ruyang is fine now, he's just locked up, but... who knows what will happen in the future?"
The Queen Mother was startled and looked up at Prince Jing fiercely.
"Heng'er didn't do anything... assassination is even more nonsense." The Queen Mother sneered: "You can't convict him for this."
The emperor was delighted: "This world belongs to me. I said he assassinated him, so he did. What's more, he also poisoned me..."
"He didn't!" The Queen Mother said angrily, "You are slandering him."
Emperor: “So what?”
He looked at the Queen Mother sarcastically. This woman still couldn't understand the situation clearly. She was extremely stupid.
"You...what are you so proud of?" The Queen Mother suddenly laughed: "You will all die sooner or later."
King Jing and the Emperor looked at each other.
The emperor asked: "Did you kill my mother?"
The Queen Mother leaned against the bed and exhaled, with an undisguised mockery on her face: "Of course not, I didn't have that ability back then, did I?"
"Who is that?"
The Queen Mother looks at the Emperor.
"You want to know? I won't tell you."
She sneered: "How did that bitch Jiang Wan die? Have you forgotten? Let me help you recall... When she was carried out, half of her face was eaten by rats, and you..."
The Queen Mother pointed at the Emperor and shouted, "You are afraid of death, hiding and watching her die, watching her being eaten by rats... You are a coward, a coward, a lunatic, and you are the one who deserves to die."
The Queen Mother became more and more excited: "The throne originally belonged to my son. He is so smart and clever, and he has been well-behaved since childhood. It was you who forced him to this point today. It's all because of you..." The Queen Mother said angrily: "Why don't you die? Why don't you die? You are the one who should die. It's you who killed your mother..."
The Queen Mother speaks viciously, like a shrew.
Prince Jing frowned, fearing that something might happen to the emperor. However, the emperor just looked at the queen mother coldly.
"Go ahead and curse me. If you curse me once, I will stab Prince Ruyang with a knife."
The Queen Mother was like a chicken with its neck strangled. After a long while, she finally squeezed out two words from between her teeth: "You dare!!"
The emperor sneered: "No matter how I treat a traitor who wants to rebel, no one will say anything."
The Queen Mother's breathing was rising and falling, but she could not utter a word.
The emperor asked again: "Who is the murderer who killed my mother?"
The Queen Mother sneered: "I will never tell you."
The emperor turned and left. When he reached the door, he suddenly turned around and said, "Wait for Prince Ruyang's body to be collected. I will tell him that he is in this situation because of you. It was you who watched him die and wanted to kill him."
After the emperor finished speaking, he pushed the door open and walked out without any hesitation.
King Jing looked at the emperor, then at the queen mother, and left.
The door closed and things in the room were broken into pieces.
King Jing followed the emperor and said, "You're not going to ask? Such a good opportunity?"
"She won't tell..." The emperor paused and looked back in the direction of the Cining Palace: "Besides, she may not know."
King Jing frowned: "I don't know?"
"The Queen Mother and Prince Ruyang are too stupid. If I were the person behind this, I would definitely not feel comfortable telling them my identity. So I suspect that the person who passed the message to the Queen Mother was..."
