The old eunuch bent down and entered the door respectfully, and said as soon as he entered: "Princess, Your Highness next door..."
He hesitated.
Yu Chu raised his eyebrows, put the book on the table, raised his eyes and stared at him coldly: "What's wrong?"
The old eunuch hesitated, as if he was very apprehensive, and answered after a while: "His Seventeenth Prince's palace seems to be haunted, and the palace people all ran away early in the morning."
"Haunted?" Yu Chu laughed.
Although she didn't believe it, the old eunuch was an old man in the cold palace, and he was very taboo about these ghosts and ghosts. He nodded, and said in a low voice: "All the palace people have left, and there is no one to serve His Highness. I heard that someone saw a hanged ghost in the courtyard last night... That scene was scary. Everyone said that it was a ghost seeking his life..."
Yu Chu thought of Nai Tuanzi's beautiful big eyes, raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why did you ask Xiao Shiqi for your life?"
"Princess, you don't know..." the old eunuch approached a little closer, and replied in a low voice, "When His Royal Highness Seventeen was born, he killed Concubine Liu at that time. It was because of this incident that the emperor hated His Royal Highness Seventeen to the bone. Send him to this cold palace to wait to die."
Concubine Liu was the emperor's favorite concubine at that time.
She gave birth to a child for the emperor, but died because of it. In ancient times when the emperor's heir was so important, the emperor was angry with his newborn son because of Concubine Liu's death.
It can also be seen that the emperor attached great importance to his concubines.
It's just that there are many heirs in the harem, and Jing Huai is the seventeenth... so it doesn't matter if they are gone.
Otherwise, he wouldn't really be sent to the cold palace.
Yu Chu pressed the booklet, thoughtful.
…
Night falls.
The child huddled in the bed alone, with his back against the wall, and opened a pair of ignorant and soft beautiful eyes.
He stared blankly ahead.
Under the snow-white jacket, she shook her little hand.
After all, he is a child, facing the night alone - especially last night there was a haunted place, today there is not even a single palace attendant, he is in a deep mood, his eyes are dimly staring at the jumping red candles.
The shadow of the flame floated lightly on the wall.
Xiao Nai Tuanzi hugged her knees, her cheeks were lightly pillowed on her own knees, she was a little sleepy, but she couldn't sleep.
He didn't eat all day today, and he was cold and hungry at this time, but he kept his long eyelashes hanging down and said nothing.
Today he heard that there were people from other palaces outside the door talking about it, saying that it was a ghost taking his life.
Xiao Jinghuai felt a little confused.
He had never seen his mother, but he had also heard that it was the mother who insisted on giving birth to the child. If it is really haunted, is it true that his mother is seeking revenge on him
Even though he was young, thinking of this, Xiao Naituan still licked his immature lips with disdain.
Some people want to kill him, and they have to make up such a reason.
How could a mother repent and take revenge when she wanted to give birth to a child herself? And if I really want to seek revenge from him, I did so a few years ago, why wait so many years...
He was thinking vaguely, his stomach was empty and uncomfortable, but his little hand touched the pillow quietly. Under the cold and hard pillow was a cold dagger.
He couldn't leave this palace, no matter who wanted to kill him, he had to wait here obediently. But he can't be unprepared, he will try to live.
The little boy rubbed his eyes, feeling gloomy. In fact, he doesn't know what to do with his life—this life can see the end at a glance, there is no joy, no emotion, and it doesn't matter if he really wants to die.
He stared into the night.
