Lihua left. Before leaving, she said solemnly and with a bit of humiliation:
"I have already felt Wu Meiren's sincerity in inviting me to Jinghong Hall. You are just a slave. I understand your difficulties, but what you did...that's all. I really have something to do today and can't go. Please take care of me and Wu Meiren.
say hello."
The people around who were listening to the play with their ears pricked up, combined with what happened just now, immediately knew that Wu Fanger's maid had resorted to tricks to invite Lihua to Jinghong Hall.
The new concubines secretly sympathized, but there was nothing they could do. They were suppressed by the high-ranking concubines of the chief concubine. They had to look at the chief concubine when they went out to visit. How could they dare to take the lead easily?
Su Siru didn't go to say hello today.
After that time when the emperor summoned her to pretend to be sick, she became addicted to it. She was like a student who skipped classes and often pretended to be sick instead of asking for greetings. She didn't want to humble herself and bow to a bunch of people, and just stood there like a fool.
It happened that Concubine Xie, who was in charge of the palace, did not like the excitement and often fell ill and rarely went to greet her. The Queen Mother had become accustomed to it and did not blame her.
Therefore, the two people in the main hall and the side hall of Huafang Hall were unique in the palace and did not like to go to pay respects.
The original concubines mostly took pleasure in the fact that Lihua was entangled by Wu Fang'er.
They wished that Lihua and Wu Fang'er would get into trouble, so they would not help Lihua.
However, there are also sympathizers who lamented to their slaves after returning home: "It's hard for Wu Meiren, who has an outstanding appearance, but... alas, being outstanding in the palace is of no use, only being favored is of use..."
But it took a lot of effort to get these bottles and cans out, so it would be a pity to throw them all away.
Lihua thought for a while and whispered to Zhichun: "Go and find out about that palace maid, where she worked as a errand before, where she has been these days, who she has come into contact with, and what is weird about her. It can be anything big or small."
Linglong looked at Lihua's leaving figure, a dark light of unknown meaning flashing in her eyes.
Zhichun had been in contact with Xiaochan before and sympathized with Xiaochan, but there was nothing he could do.
That room was used for experiments on seizing palace seals, and there were many bottles and jars in it.
"No, I don't want to see it, this slave." Zhichun's voice trembled with fear, and he begged: "Master, we have come here, how about we light a lamp?"
Speaking of this matter, Lihua thought of the dog system, which had not appeared for a long time. It had been so long that she had forgotten that there was a system.
If she hadn't refused to listen to her advice, went to Tingliyuan and left without waiting for anyone, and never refused to go there again, she wouldn't have had to go to such trouble and suffer the aggrievement she suffered today.
That night, Zhichun reported the news about Linglong to Lihua.
The two side halls are located in front of the entrance of Tingli Courtyard, one to the east and one to the west.
She was very sure that there was something wrong with Linglong, as if she wanted to use Wu Fanger's help to target her.
When Lihua learned that Liu Sanzi had made an excuse to go out again, she didn't say anything and let him go with a good temper.
As for that idiot, huh!
After Lihua returned, she thought about Linglong's actions and realized that nothing was right.
As the master said, Wu Mei is smart and astute, and he suspected her after just a few meetings with her.
To avoid being discovered by others, no lights were lit.
Lihua didn't take it seriously: "What nonsense are you talking about? There are no ghosts in the world. If there are ghosts, they are caused by humans."
So Linglong still lives in her previous residence.
"Okay, I'm not afraid, I am not afraid." Zhichun was telling the truth, and he tried to be brave and said, "Master, if anything happens, I will protect you."
It was rare for Lihua to stay up late, so she and Zhichun took advantage of the darkness to carry the basket to the main hall of Tingliyuan.
Zhichun was surprised: "Master, you mean..."
Zhichun was heartbroken: "Master, I heard from people over at the East Side Hall that the main hall is haunted. Someone saw two clusters of will-o'-the-wisps there last summer, glowing dimly. The person who saw it was so frightened that he peed his pants and fell ill when he returned home. ."
So Lihua decided to evacuate the room on the west side that was used as a laboratory overnight.
Linglong had previously worked as an errand in the Shanggong Bureau. These days, she had been to many places on Wu Fanger's orders, such as Hanxiang Palace, Lanyue Palace, Liuyun Palace, etc. They were all looking for new concubines, nothing special. at.
Then she remembered that the fact that she traveled through time was really mysterious and she still didn’t know the reason. Lihua changed her mind again: “Maybe it really does happen.”
At this moment, they had arrived in front of the main hall. Under the moonlight, the entire main hall stood darkly in front of them.
Just thinking about that idiot in Jinghong Hall, who was always so stupid that it was difficult for people to control, made Linglong feel terrible.
Instead, Xiaochan stayed in the best servant room in Jinghong Hall.
Lihua shook her head: "Not necessarily."
But why would a slave deal with her?
Lihua comforted her and said, "Wait until you enter the palace before ordering. Don't be afraid. Ghosts and gods are just fiction."
Lihua thought of a place to go: the haunted main hall of Tingliyuan!
However, Lihua did not call the dog system in her mind. She wished that the dog system would never appear in her life, so that she could do whatever she wanted.
She did not think that the warning to Linglong had any effect. If there was someone behind the scenes, they would not stop until the goal was achieved.
"Shh..." Lihua looked around. She suspected that this palace maid had another owner. Only this way made sense!
In the next two days, Wu Fang'er's situation completely calmed down, but Lihua felt a heavy uneasiness in her heart.
The theatergoers were unhappy when they saw that nothing happened between Lihua and Linglong in the end: "It's a pity. I thought Wu Meiren dared to deal with the Jinghong Hall guy. After being treated like this, she still swallowed her anger. It's really useless." !”
"Miss, don't scare me." Zhichun was shocked. She always believed in Lihua's words. When she heard that there might be a ghost, even the word "miss" scared her.
But it is not suitable to light a lamp, otherwise it may fall into the eyes of interested people.
A bad premonition came to Lihua's heart, as if a storm was about to come.
This kind of wrongness made her feel uneasy, like a prelude to a conspiracy.
I do this because I am afraid that one day someone will use these things to make irresponsible remarks and call a deer a horse.
The main hall is located in the middle of the courtyard, surrounded by a circle of weeds that have not yet been pulled out. There are rumors of being haunted. It has been dusty for many years and no one will go there.
Zhichun sighed: "It can be seen that Wu Meiren still has some conscience and did not treat Xiaochan too much."
There is one special thing. Linglong is so proud, but Wu Fang'er doesn't let anyone stay in the servants' room of Jinghong Palace.
Seeing that she was so frightened, Lihua stopped teasing her and took advantage of the moonlight to look around.
This little thing seems insignificant, but it is very abnormal.
Lihua teased Zhichun: "Nothing, if you meet a ghost, wouldn't you like to see what the ghost looks like?"
Linglong remembered that Lihua had just treated her like a monkey, and secretly resented her. She must avenge today.
The courtyard is large enough, and there is a distance between the side hall and the main hall.
Linglong knew that she could no longer take things lightly and needed to plan more rigorously.
Lihua laughed: "You protect yourself first, I don't need you to worry."
The two carried the basket to the door and put it down.
Zhichun was scared and tried to open the door, but was pulled behind him by Lihua.
Lihua put her hands on the door and pushed it slowly. With a "squeaking" sound, the dusty main hall slowly opened.
