Chapter 150: Good words are hard to persuade
"Don't you, Your Majesty, never believe that there are ghosts in the world? I've always said that you don't have the power to confuse the gods."
Gu Changting shook his head: "What's the point if I don't believe it? The servants all believed it. Not only did they believe it, they spread it everywhere. How many people in the house don't believe it now? Even my mother doesn't take it seriously, but in fact she believes it in her heart.
No doubt. Besides, Nian Nian, don’t you believe it?”
"Well...it's true that I have a nose and an eye. I'm just a little girl. Everyone is spreading it, so I can't help but not believe it."
"That's it." Gu Changting spread his hands: "So, regardless of whether it is a real ghost or a fake ghost, everyone will eventually believe that this ghost has left, been saved, or has disappeared. In short, it will not come back again. This is
The most important thing.”
"Okay then, you look at the arrangements." Xin Nian stood up and said, "Let's go and eat. After dinner, we have to send Liu Zai and Brother Feng to school."
"I'll go deliver it. I'll just go into the palace after delivering it."
Xin Nian held Gu Changting's arm, looked outside the door and wondered: "It's still raining in the sky, and we don't have to go to court today. What important matter requires you to enter the palace?"
"Nothing, just to start Enke's business this autumn."
Xin Nian was surprised: "Kai Enke is also related to you? Isn't that a matter of the Ministry of Rites?"
Gu Changting laughed: "Don't you need defense for the scientific examination? Fool. And I am the commander of the Beijing camp. This autumn, Enke, the emperor will mobilize two thousand soldiers of the Beijing camp to deploy defense. This naturally has something to do with me."
"For no reason, Enke suddenly wanted to be fired, and defenses were deployed from the Beijing camp. With such a formation, is it possible that some Wenqu star in the sky wants to come down to earth?"
"Who knows this?" Gu Changting smiled, then his smile faded, his tone became more solemn, and he said calmly: "The only thing that can be known is that the emperor attaches great importance to Enke. Some powerful people, no matter how long their hands are,
, I can’t reach out this time, so I think we should be able to get a group of real talents.”
Extremely powerful, with long hands, a real talent.
Xin Nian thought about the meaning of Gu Changting's words, and always felt that what he was referring to was the Liao family and the prince. If this is the case, this inexplicable and sudden encore would make sense.
The emperor is in his prime, does he really want to give up the prince and train a group of talents for other princes?
When he thought of this, even Xin Nian, who was not interested in court matters, couldn't help but get extremely excited.

"Kekeke...kekeke...mother! mother!"
It was in the middle of the night, and everyone was already having a good dream. However, because of the recent hauntings in the concubine's courtyard, most of the servants were restless, except for a few caring women and girls, who were so asleep that they didn't know what was going on.
.
Seeing that there was no movement and everyone was yawning, Mrs. Liao ordered the girl to blow out the candle. As soon as her head touched the pillow, she heard a familiar and creepy laughter suddenly coming from the stillness.
"Here she comes again, she comes again."
Qiuyue Qiuxiang got up from the ground, and some servants in the courtyard were shouting randomly. Concubine Liao suddenly opened the bed curtain and listened carefully. Sure enough, the ghost had been shouting hurriedly: "Mother, mother! Please pay attention to it."
I……"
"Who is it? Who is it?" Concubine Liao felt a cold air rising from the soles of her feet, mixed with fear and anger. She placed one hand on the bedside table, panting heavily, and her chest heaved violently.
"My dearest concubine, please stay away for a moment."
Qiuyue Qiuxiang rushed forward to help Concubine Liao, and then she heard someone shouting: "The tree...she...she is on the tree, my God..."
Concubine Liao's eyes widened. She didn't know what she was thinking. She suddenly shook off Qiuyue Qiuxiang and staggered out of the house. She glanced around for a while and saw a tree on the big tree used to place the tent.
The white shadow stood there quietly, drifting back and forth in the wind, and the sound of "Mother Mother" came from the direction of the ghost shadow.
"Who are you? What grievances do you have? Speak out and I will forgive you. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude."
"Mom, you don't recognize me anymore? Am I not the same as when I was a baby?"
The voice was weak and high-pitched, but everyone who heard it couldn't help but shudder. Standing behind Concubine Liao, Qian suddenly shouted: "She is... the concubine, she is..."
"Shut up."
Concubine Liao's face was livid, she stared at the white shadow on the tree, gritted her teeth and said, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"What can I do? After a mother-daughter battle, although my mother abandoned me, I still miss the love between mother and daughter. Mother, please don't harm others anymore. You must know that the law of heaven is clear and retribution will not be yours. Mother, you
Everything has been changed..."
Concubine Liao suddenly took two steps back and almost fell down. Qian quickly supported her, and then heard her sternly say: "Who are you? You are here to confuse people. Come on, beat me, hard."
Break her up, break her up..."
Concubine Liao roared at the top of her lungs. Although the servants were scared, under the light of the lanterns in the corridor, the master now looked more terrifying than the ghost, so they all responded randomly. I don't know who was so blessed that he suddenly picked up a stone and threw it over.
He immediately followed suit and threw stones at the tree while calling people.
"Mother, are you still stubborn?"
"What are you stubborn about? I have been in the palace for thirty years, and I have been a husband and raised my children to be virtuous and virtuous. You are just pretending to be a charlatan, just like slandering my good reputation? Where are the people? Beat me, give them all a hard beating."
"Oh oh oh..."
The servants hurriedly bent over to pick up the stones again, but they heard a long and faint sigh from mid-air: That's all, mother, I can't save you. You must know that it is not that you will not retaliate, the time has not come yet..."
The voice gradually became softer, and everyone saw the white shadow flying backwards, and suddenly disappeared.
"Huh? You were here just now, why did you leave now?"
Some people were surprised, and then heard another voice whispering: "That's a ghost, of course he can come and leave whenever he wants."
"What the hell? It's obviously just pretending."
Concubine Liao shouted loudly, and after thinking about it, she suddenly said to Mrs. Qian next to her: "If you go to Qingliangyuan, just tell me that I am not feeling well at the moment, and ask Mrs. Xin to come and serve me."
"Ah?" Mrs. Qian was surprised: "Ms. Princess, this...isn't this bad? I heard that the prince is staying at Aunt Xin's place tonight."
"Really? Changting is in Qingliangyuan tonight?"
"Yes. I heard the girls mention it during the meal." Mrs. Qian nodded, then looked at Concubine Liao carefully, and said softly: "Concubine, is she suspicious? Is this caused by Aunt Xin?"
Concubine Liao was silent for a long time, and then said calmly: "You can't blame me for being suspicious. Who told her to know Kung Fu? Her Kung Fu is not bad. Seriously, she can fly over walls and fly over walls. If there is anyone in this house who can be haunted, it is her.
