Chapter 40: Ghosts and Gods
The palace is really haunted.
And it's not just Yanqu Hall.
...
When Li Xuan figured out what happened, even he himself couldn't help but feel a little confused.
As the cat who knew the truth best, he felt that things seemed to be out of his control.
The news spread throughout the harem at an even faster speed. Yanqu Hall, which was originally the protagonist, has now become just one of the supporting roles mentioned.
The rain is coming, and the wind is whistling.
That night, Deng Weixian sat in the courtyard with a solemn expression.
Li Xuan, who was hiding in the dark, was no exception.
At this time, both of them had already understood that the whole thing had begun to change dramatically.
Like Yanqu Hall, they also went from being the protagonist to a supporting role.
It is not difficult to guess that Deng Weixian's godfather was behind this.
But none of them thought that this matter would become so big.
The rumor of haunting had long gone beyond the scope of Yanqu Hall and had affected the entire harem.
What is even more worrying is that overnight, in several other important palaces, the same ghost rumors began to spread and intensified.
At this point, not to mention Deng Weixian began to worry, even Li Xuan was a little scared.
"Deng Weixian's godfather would not take action if he did not, but once he did, it was a big deal."
Li Xuan couldn't help but worry a little, but he was not worried that these things would implicate their Jingyang Palace.
The cold palace also has its advantages.
Deng Weixian's godfather would not choose a place like the cold palace if he wanted to attract enough attention.
Compared with Jingyang Palace, Li Xuan was more worried about Deng Weixian.
His godfather had big ambitions, and he was afraid that Deng Weixian would risk his life in the future.
Although wealth and honor are sought in danger, Deng Weixian is Yu'er's biological brother after all, and her only blood relative alive now.
Li Xuan naturally didn't want Deng Weixian to have an accident.
Moreover, he had shared joys and sorrows during this period of time, and he also had some feelings for Deng Weixian.
At least after this kid appeared, Li Xuan got a lot of benefits, which can be said to be his lucky star.
After a sigh, the two began to practice tonight.
At this point, they can do less and less.
In this case, they can only focus on the present and do their best to improve themselves.
Perhaps, this insignificant power can allow them to get out of this vortex safely.
...
In the next few days, Deng Weixian's godfather did not show up.
Li Xuan and Deng Weixian had to do everything as usual. After practicing every night, they would monitor Xiao Zhuo.
But the wind has been getting tighter and tighter in the past few days, and Xiao Zhuo gradually dared not to come out.
This saved Li Xuan and Deng Weixian a lot of effort, saving them from following Xiao Zhuo every day.
But as time went by, the rumors of haunting in the palace became more and more true.
Every day, people witnessed ghosts in the palace, and there was a string stretched up and down.
This atmosphere of impending storms made everyone feel a heavy weight like a mountain pressing down on their heads.
The eunuchs and palace maids were all worried, but as this heavy atmosphere continued to brew, they went from being very secretive at the beginning to talking about it in private whenever they had the chance.
This matter became a well-known secret in the palace.
All the functions in the palace seemed to have disappeared suddenly, and this atmosphere was allowed to ferment for several days.
…
On this day.
In the dull atmosphere, Yanqu Hall finally ushered in new changes.
A big eunuch suddenly visited.
He was a middle-aged eunuch wearing gorgeous silver-edged flowered clothes and a slender figure.
He was surrounded by a group of tall and strong flowered eunuchs, with a grand ceremony.
The eunuch of the Yinfang waited in front of the palace gate early, leading the Yanqu Hall to greet this person respectfully.
"Wei Chengji, the seal room of Yanqu Hall, welcomes Deputy Director Zhao."
"Eunuch Wei, I am so embarrassed that you have to welcome a junior like me."
Deputy Director Zhao made a orchid finger gesture and said in a shrill voice, with a hint of embarrassment on his face.
He really vividly showed his helpless state.
Deputy Director Zhao has arms and waists like a monkey, knees and back like a crane. Surrounded by a group of tall and strong eunuchs in flowery clothes, he still stands out from the crowd. His stature is really excellent, but his words and deeds are full of contrast with his stature.
But this also greatly conforms to Li Xuan's stereotype of eunuchs.
Li Xuan is now keeping an eye on Yanqu Hall every day, so he naturally sees this scene.
It must be said that the scale of the welcome is indeed large enough, and all the eunuchs and palace maids in Yanqu Hall have been gathered.
Even Deng Weixian and Xiaozhuo were standing in the last row of the crowd.
However, they should not be able to see the meeting of the big guys in front of them from their position.
As the eunuch of the seal room, Wei Chengji naturally did not take the polite words of Deputy Director Zhao seriously.
Although he was a generation older, in the palace, the only difference was the power in his hands.
To be honest, the deputy head Zhao in front of him grew up under Wei Chengji's watch.
Deputy head Zhao, whose real name is Zhao Bugao, is currently the deputy head eunuch of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and is the real second-in-command of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
As for the first-in-command, it is his godfather.
Therefore, even though Zhao Bugao is younger than him, Wei Chengji dare not provoke this guy.
"Deputy head Zhao is too polite. Why don't we go in and talk first, and then slowly discuss the inspection of Yanqu Hall."
"Okay, I'll listen to Eunuch Wei's arrangements."
Zhao Bugao looked very easy to talk to.
"Please."
The two walked into Yanqu Hall together, and Wei Chengji lagged behind half a step and followed closely.
The other eunuchs and palace maids dispersed at Wei Chengji's signal, each of them busy with their own tasks, leaving only a few confidants around.
Although the eunuchs accompanying him were also tall and strong, Wei Chengji's momentum was obviously weaker than the flowery eunuch behind Zhao Bugao.
After all, they all knew how much skill was needed to wear this flowery dress.
This was not a presence that they could match with brute force alone.
But at this moment, they could only stand up as straight as possible, making themselves look taller and holding up the stage.
"Eunuch Wei, I'm sure you know why I came here today, right?"
Zhao Bugao asked softly with a smile on his face.
Wei Chengji was immediately dignified and sighed in his heart.
He did not expect that the other party could not help but ask for punishment before he sat down.
"I am incompetent and let the evil spirits in Yanqu Hall be disturbed. I deserve to die!"
After saying that, Wei Chengji bowed down without caring about his face and pretended to kneel.
It seemed that he did not care at all that this was the Yanqu Hall he was in charge of, nor did he care that there were many servants around who could see this place.
Just when Wei Chengji's knees were only an inch away from the ground, Zhao Bugao reached out and supported him.
"Alas, Eunuch Wei, aren't you shortening my life?"
"Please get up quickly, please get up quickly."
"Bu Gao came here today to share the worries of Yanqu Palace, and I have no intention of asking for punishment. Eunuch Wei, please don't misunderstand."
"You and my godfather have been friends for many years. I was sent to help you."
Zhao Bugao said it sincerely, and easily straightened Wei Chengji's body.
Just listening to these words, Wei Chengji's heart skipped a beat, and his fear was ten times or a hundred times greater than before.
Thanks to "Kuang Biao Xiao Qiang", "Book Friends 20180830205305048", "Book Friends 20200317152042332", "Shangfangguhao", "I am a lolita lover" for their monthly ticket support.
Yesterday, the salted fish of Yinfang Eunuch was not sent out, and it became garbled. Eunuch Bai Miao took it out and showed it again.
