I walked around the dry well for a long time, and then sat helplessly leaning against the wall of the well. After all this tossing, I was a little exhausted. No one came to the dry well for a long time. I think neither the eunuch nor the palace maid said anything about what happened just now. Even if you say it, you should tell your friends or colleagues. Generally speaking, you can only add a terrifying legend to the dry well, and make people even more afraid to approach it, except for the queen who I think is more terrifying than the dry well.

Thinking of the queen, I couldn't help feeling nauseated again. I couldn't help it, it was too heavy, and it was completely unacceptable for a pure person like me.

I guess it was too exciting last night and I didn't have a good rest. I don't know when I fell asleep in a daze, and then I was woken up by the cold.

I fell asleep soundly in the beautiful environment last night, and tonight I was relying on the dry well to endure the cold. I was also a little depressed, but then I realized something was wrong. The weather is not so cold now, but I feel like I am in It's like a world of ice and snow.

This is obviously not a normal phenomenon, more like Yin Qi. Yes, Yin Qi, I stood up, turned to look at the dry well, and was startled suddenly, seeing countless blurry figures constantly hitting the boulder at the mouth of the well, knocking the phantom of the boulder up and down constantly.

I understand that it is the ghost in the dry well that is trying to break through the seal, but all this is in vain, because what shakes is only the phantom of the boulder, and the body is still suppressing the mouth of the well, without moving at all.

Countless crying and wailing made my eardrums hurt. I frowned and cursed, but I was not cursing ghosts or seals, it was just a mantra after being irritated by the noise.

It's just that the ghost became quiet all of a sudden. In my surprise, it took a long time before a weak female voice said: "Who is outside?"

These ghosts were able to hear my voice, which surprised me for a moment, but just for a moment, and then I was surrounded by ecstasy. Being able to hear my voice, there is the possibility of communication, and then there is also a possibility for breaking through this illusion. certain possibility.

I hastily asked tentatively, "Concubine Xian?"

"It's Concubine Xian, are you someone sent by the General?" A female voice answered me, but it was obviously not the person just now.

It seems that I have found the right master, but what is the general.

Perhaps seeing that I didn't reply, the female voice behind suddenly became sharp: "Are you sent by that temptress?"

Temptress? I was completely confused. Suddenly, there were too many characters on the stage, which made me feel like I was cutting things and making things messy.

"Wait a minute. I don't know who you are?" The female voice who spoke first spoke, and the word "wait a moment" should have been addressed to the voice behind, because the female voice behind did not speak anymore after saying that. As for the question behind , of course it was told to me.

"I am" I said two words, but I didn't know how to introduce myself. After all, many ghosts can't accept the fact that they are dead. Once told, they will run away. I'm not sure if the ghosts in the dry well will That's right, but I don't have the chips to bet on.

"I was passing by. It's strange to see a well here." Suddenly, I couldn't find any good excuses, so I just talked nonsense.

"Hmph." A few cold snorts came from the dry well. I don't know who made it, but I could feel the contempt for me from the voice. There is no way. After I made the excuse, I despised myself Yes, because this excuse is really a bit of that.

I put on an air of a master, and then added: "I see that there is a lot of grievances here, so I just come and take a look. If you think it's inappropriate, it's okay for me to leave."

I definitely won't leave, and the ghost in the dry well probably won't let me leave, but I still pretended to be leaving, and walked a few steps towards the path outside the rockery.

"Sir. Please stay." The female voice in front stopped me, and I stopped in my tracks.

"Your Majesty, this person's words flickered. I'm afraid he was sent by that temptress." The latter female voice obviously didn't trust me, but from the words, I also knew that the previous female voice was Concubine Xian herself.

"Why did you send someone here? Do we have anything else worthy of her plan?" Concubine Xian's tone was a bit lonely. The latter voice didn't speak any more.

"Sir, I don't know how to address you?" Concubine Xian asked me.

"Call me Mr. Wu, I don't know if it's Concubine Xian?" I decided to confirm again.

"Exactly, I don't know why Mr. came here?"

"Seeing that there is a lot of grievances here, I was curious for a while, so I came to take a look. If there is any disturbance, I ask your empress to forgive me."

Concubine Xian's words were bitter and said: "I'm still some kind of empress."

This sentence didn't seem to be an answer to me, but more like talking to myself, so I didn't answer it. The scene fell silent for a moment. I don't want to delay too much time, my body should be the same as that of Wu Jian and the others before, still standing there stupidly.

So I asked directly: "I don't know what wronged Concubine Xian has, why is the grievance here so overwhelming?"

Concubine Xian sighed and said: "Sir, I don't know, I was originally a concubine of the emperor. Although I was born in this palace, I never wanted to be evil to others. It's just that I am in the dirtiest place in the world. How can you escape?"

Concubine Xian was originally the younger sister of the great general of the current dynasty. More than ten years ago, when her father was still alive, she was married to the emperor who was still the prince at that time, and became the prince's side concubine.

Concubine Xian has a submissive personality and is kind to others. In addition, first her father and then her elder brother are the generals of the dynasty, so she is doing well. She will not bully others, and others will not bully him. The most important thing is that the prince at that time The concubine is the daughter of the prime minister of the current dynasty. Zhang's family style has been strict and kind since she was a child. She is well received among the concubines, and they get along like sisters.

Later, the crown prince came to the throne and became the current emperor, and the Zhang family became the queen and concubine Xian became the real concubine Xian.

After ascending to the throne, the emperor worked hard to govern, and he didn't pay too much attention to female sex. There were not many concubines in the harem, and the empress was kind and friendly, so the whole harem was very happy.

But everything changed five years ago. For some reason, the queens and concubines in the harem have always had nothing to do. It is a big deal for the emperor to have no heirs, and almost all the officials persuaded the emperor not to have a concubine.

The emperor obeyed the advice of all the officials and accepted 28 concubines. At this time, the current empress Chen entered the palace. At that time, she was only a low-level concubine, so naturally she did not attract everyone's attention.

Less than a year later, the queen became pregnant, and while she was still pregnant, she was designated as the prince by the emperor. A few months later, the queen gave birth to a son, but he died before full term. The emperor was very sad. At this time, the Chen family, who was gradually favored, revealed that the infertility of the concubines was caused by the empress, and the prince was also killed by the empress. The whole country was in an uproar.

Afterwards, the emperor personally investigated and found that the prince was murdered to death, and a lot of sterilization medicine was found in the queen's bedroom. The emperor was furious, but he didn't want to believe it.

The crown prince is the empress's own son, besides, he is already the empress, so why would he murder the concubines

However, the queen pleaded guilty, yes, the queen pleaded guilty, saying that she looked down on the emperor and did not want people like the emperor to have offspring. The matter was so weird that no one believed it, but it was indeed what the queen said.

The emperor was furious, deposed the empress, and imprisoned the empress in Yongshou Palace forever, but the empress at that time was already crazy, and within a month, the empress died in Yongshou Palace.

Although the emperor was furious and abolished the empress, he still didn't believe that it was the empress who did it. He just thought that the empress was bewitched by demons. On the one hand, the emperor invited a master of Taoism to the palace, on the other hand, he also neglected Mrs. Chen.

It's just that things became more and more weird later on. The Taoist expert determined that it was another concubine who used the demon method to frame the queen, and then became more and more involved, and finally became the conspiracy of all the concubines who were the prince's side concubine in the prince's mansion.

For a time, there was a bloody storm in the imperial palace. Although Concubine Xian was afraid of the designer because her brother was a general, all other concubines were killed, but even so, the emperor gradually neglected Concubine Xian, and instead favored the new concubine who entered the palace. .

Another year later, Mrs. Chen gave birth to a son for the emperor, but he contracted a strange disease and became thin. The emperor felt guilty. In addition, the position of empress should not be vacant, so he came up with the idea of making Mrs. Chen the queen. .

At this time, Concubine Xian also gave birth to a son, and the court officials looked down on the Chen family, who was born in a merchant, and persuaded the emperor to make Concubine Xian the queen. The emperor refused, and the matter of becoming a queen was shelved.

Not long after, rumors popped up in the palace, saying that Concubine Xian had an affair with the guards, and that the second prince was not born to the emperor. At first, the emperor didn't believe it, but an expert said a word: The emperor is destined to have only one son. So the emperor gradually became suspicious.

Rumors spread very quickly, not only in the palace, but also in the marketplace. The emperor, in order to prove himself, confessed to his relatives with blood, but the second prince's blood did not dissolve in the emperor, but melted in a guard.

Then the guards personally admitted that they had an affair with Concubine Xian, the emperor was furious and directly killed the guards, and imprisoned Concubine Xian and the second prince.

Afterwards, the emperor appointed Chen as the queen and ordered him to purge the harem.

The matter was not over yet, the second prince drowned in the imperial garden for some reason, and on the night of the second prince's death, Concubine Xian dreamed that the second prince was crying to herself, but was pushed down by the empress to the pool in the imperial garden.

Concubine Xian, who has always been weak-tempered, broke into the queen's bedroom like crazy, accusing the queen of killing the second prince, but was beaten to death in the queen's bedroom by Empress Chen who was ordered to purge the harem.

After her death, Concubine Xian took the second prince and cried out her grievances to the emperor. Don't startle the emperor, and the next thing will happen.

Listening to Concubine Xian crying and telling the whole story intermittently, I asked, "Your Majesty, since it was the Queen who did it, why didn't you go to the Queen?" Go back and seek revenge on the person who killed him, not to mention that person also killed his own child.

Concubine Xian was silent for a long time, and it took a long time to speak in a voice of extreme fear. There was trembling and fear in that voice, which made everyone who heard it unconsciously feel empathy.
