The haunting of the fourth prince's mansion quickly spread in Yejing, and the more it spread, the more exaggerated it became. It is said that the fourth prince disregarded human life and killed too much, which attracted ghosts; The ghost came to warn him...
No matter which statement it is, it is an indisputable fact that the frightened concubine went crazy.
Ling Qiyang was originally very guilty of implicating the innocent, but after hearing about the various insidious methods of this concubine's room, he was relieved. Rumor has it that anyone serving in this concubine's courtyard, no matter women or young sons, as long as the fourth prince looks at her more, she will become jealous. At the least, they were beaten, scolded and tortured to the point of disability, at worst, their appearance was ruined, and they were sold as slaves in brothels.
Because of her good family background, everyone in the palace turned a blind eye to her actions. Now that she was frightened crazy, she probably thought that the person she killed turned into a ghost and came to take revenge, and she deserved it.
As for the rescued woman, the shadow guard had sent her out of the city directly, and gave her the antidote to bother her and remove the disguise on her face. The woman thanked her and left. No questions asked, no words left.
The snowy night was extraordinarily quiet, and the charcoal fire was burning vigorously. Jun Lixuan sat in Ling Qiyang's pharmacy and listened to Mingli's report on the situation outside, while Ling Qiyang weighed the herbs and wanted to make some medicinal food for nourishment.
After listening to Ming Li's talk about the fourth prince that has been rumored recently, Jun Lixuan waved him back.
"It's a good thing you don't know martial arts, otherwise you must be a naughty one." Thinking of the haunted scene that day, even he felt a little disgusted, let alone Jun Chengyan and his concubine who were so close.
"I was born with weak strength and poor physical coordination. Master said that I am not suitable for martial arts." Thinking of his clumsy self when he was a child, Ling Qiyang chuckled, "But for self-defense, Master taught me to use poison, and I will definitely not be better than you. Wu is bad."
"Your master is thoughtful." Jun Lixuan said. Although his master taught him to use poison, Jun Lixuan still feels uneasy if Ling Qiyang is allowed to go out wandering alone.
The rumors about the ghosts in the fourth prince's mansion became more and more evil, and finally reached Emperor Yanxi's ears. And it was none other than the concubine's father who informed Emperor Yanxi. The father of the concubine's room is the minister of the Ministry of punishment, and he is considered to have real power. His own daughter was frightened to the point of madness, and both he and his wife felt distressed. But when he went to visit the fourth prince's mansion, he was sent away on the grounds that "the relatives of the mother's family seeing their daughter would damage the fourth prince's virtuous name".
Although a married daughter cannot go home without reason. But my own daughter has become like that, and it is really unreasonable not to let her see each other. After a few times of no results, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment sent a booklet to Emperor Yanxi. As a result, the incident spread in the harem.
Just after Emperor Yanxi got angry about the Tama tribe, Jun Chengyan made trouble again. Emperor Yanxi slapped the excerpt on the table and shouted: "Send that rebellious son to come to see me!"
Jun Chengyan had been kneeling in the imperial study for almost an hour, but the emperor didn't intend to let him get up, but just approved the papers with a calm face. Although this happened in Jun Chengyan's mansion, and the rumors were only about Jun Chengyan's mansion, but Jun Chengyan is the prince, and the royal family is naturally ashamed.
After approving a bunch of papers, Emperor Yanxi put down his pen, took a sip of hot tea, and said in a cold voice: "Tell me, what's the matter with your house being haunted?"
"Returning to my father, on the fifteenth day, I went to offer incense. On the way back, I met a woman fainted by the side of the road, so I kindly asked someone to rescue her. But the woman seemed to be insane, and she woke up in the middle of the night and yelled loudly. , I broke my head and got blood all over my face. My son’s concubine came to visit, and I don’t want to be frightened.” Jun Chengyan obviously had thought up his words a long time ago, and he was not in the slightest panic, “Then the woman Taking advantage of the chaos, I ran out of the palace, and my son sent someone to look for it, but there was no news. It wasn't a big deal at first, but I don't know why it was rumored that the son's mansion is haunted."
Emperor Yanxi looked at him calmly, with a face that concealed all emotions, making it difficult to guess. Jun Chengyan was still looking at him at first, but he looked away after a while. It seemed that he was afraid of offending the Holy Spirit, but in fact he was guilty.
Emperor Yanxi was silent for a long time, then he suddenly picked up the memorial in his hand and threw it on him, and said sharply: "When you come back after saving the girl, all the female relatives in your mansion don't know it at all? In the middle of the night, you don't go back to the room to rest, but run to the girl's resting place." What does the yard do? Don’t you know the truth about men and women not being able to kiss each other? The daughter of the servant of the Ministry of punishment is also somewhat knowledgeable. If she hadn’t encountered a ghost, how could she be frightened crazy? Also, the servant of the Ministry of punishment went to your house to see her daughter, you Why don't you let me see you? Don't fool me with such reasons as damaging your reputation, it's one thing for a married woman not to go home privately, but it's another thing for her parents to visit her seriously ill daughter!"
"Father, I have been wronged!" Jun Chengyan knelt forward a few steps, and said with tears in his eyes: "I really don't know what happened to that woman, and I went to her yard as well. People came to report that there was something strange about the woman, so let the son go and have a look. The emperor knew that the son's family members were a bit petty, and the son rescued the girl with good intentions, and wanted to send her away when she woke up. Didn't tell the family members, lest they get angry with their sons and ministers."
Jun Chengyan wiped the corners of his eyes with his cuff, and then said: "Although the daughter of the minister of justice is a concubine, she acts domineeringly and treats her servants cruelly. I thought that she was still caring for me, so I followed my son again." For many years, she couldn't bear to be punished, but she was reminded every now and then. This time, she was frightened crazy. How could she know that she didn't do too much on weekdays, disregarding human life, so she frightened herself crazy? Otherwise, why are other people in the house fine? Is she crazy?"
"I understand that parents must love their children, but the concubine is crazy, talking nonsense all day long, unkempt, and it is really not suitable to see people. Let the minister of punishment see her like this, it will only make her feel more distressed, so I have thought about it." In a few days, her condition has improved, let them meet again." Jun Chengyan said it seriously, "Now if her crazy words are heard by the minister of the Ministry of Justice who is eager to love her daughter, she will believe it and cause something to happen again. , but it is troublesome. I hope that the father will consider the innocence and painstaking efforts of his children, and calm down."
Emperor Yanxi looked at Jun Chengyan with a sad face, thought over and over again, and said: "This matter happened because of you, whether your concubine's concubine was a guilty conscience, or was frightened crazy by accident, you have to take responsibility and take care of her well. As for the servant of the Ministry of Justice, find a suitable opportunity to let him meet his daughter. He has more knowledge than you, so he naturally knows what to believe and what not to believe. As for the rumors in your house, you yourself Go and solve it, don't let me hear such humiliating rumors, do you hear me?"
"Yes, I would like to follow my father's instruction and never let my father down." Jun Chengyan said.
"You step back." Emperor Yanxi seemed too lazy to talk to him any more. In any case, Jun Chengyan is his son, he can admonish him, but he will not punish him severely for a concubine's room. This is also the royal family's different attitude towards the main wife and concubine's room.
As for Jun Chengyan's words, Emperor Yanxi naturally knew which ones could be believed and which ones were lies. But as long as these words are spoken and believed, that is enough. This matter should have been borne by Jun Chengyan himself. This son is not a direct son, so Emperor Yanxi doesn't expect much from him, as long as he doesn't cause trouble.
"Yes, my son will leave." Jun Chengyan bowed his head humbly and retreated, quietly raised the corners of his mouth where Emperor Yanxi couldn't see, his eyes filled with complacency.
With Yanxi's admonition, the servant of the Ministry of Justice thought that he would see his daughter in a few days, but he never thought that he would receive the news of his daughter's death a few days later. The people in the fourth prince's house said that the concubine insisted on leaving the house, and the servants had no choice but to accompany them. Unexpectedly, one of them missed, and the concubine fell into the viewing pool and drowned.
Although this statement is doubtful, according to Wu's appraisal, the concubine's room was indeed drowned. Moreover, there were no other injuries on his body, and there was no trace of being forced into the water, so it was determined that he fell into the water by slipping his footing.
Although the servant of the Ministry of Punishment didn't want to believe this result, he couldn't find any other evidence, so he could only admit it.
When he heard this disappearance, Jun Lixuan was playing chess with Ling Qiyang. The bet in the chess game was that if Jun Lixuan won, Ling Qiyang would kiss him. If Ling Qiyang wins, Jun Lixuan will cook the soup himself.
"What do you think?" Jun Lixuan asked after falling down.
"Didn't you take me to play with ice on the lake yesterday?" Ling Qiyang smiled.
This winter is extremely cold, and the water in a lake that is not too big like Wangfuzhong flows slowly, and the surface is basically frozen solid. Yesterday afternoon, Jun Lixuan had nothing to do, so she took Ling Qiyang to go skating on the lake. Although she fell a few times, it was really interesting.
That concubine was going to drown in the lake, the ice on the lake must have been broken. As for the ice breaking in the cold weather? Only those who break the ice will know...
"The first time I saw the fourth child playing with ice on the lake, he liked it very much, so when he was in the palace, when it was about to freeze, he started to make ice carts, and when the lake was frozen solid, he Let's go play." Jun Lixuan watched Ling Qiyang drop his hand, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he dropped his hand.
"Anyway, the fourth prince must be well aware of this matter, good and evil will be rewarded in the end, just wait and see." Ling Qiyang thought for a long time, and then made another son.
"As long as he doesn't offend me, I don't care about it." The smile on the corner of Jun Lixuan's mouth deepened, and then he made a decisive move, "I won."
Ling Qiyang was startled, watching the defeat helplessly. Although Jun Lixuan has always won the most in chess games between the two of them, but today Jun Lixuan has given up his three sons, and he still loses if he doesn't want to.
Jun Lixuan moved away from the chess table between the two of them, embraced Ling Qiyang, sat on his lap, and stared at him intently.
Ling Qiyang knew that if he lost, he would be punished. Although the two had kissed many times, it was the first time he took the initiative. Ling Qiyang pursed his lips, closed his eyes and kissed her. After touching Jun Lixuan's slightly cool lips, a scorching heat spread from the top of his head, Ling Qiyang felt that his fingers were almost blushing.
Naturally, Jun Lixuan could not be satisfied with being close to each other, Jun Lixuan pinched Ling Qiyang's lips to signal him to continue. Ling Qiyang sticks out his tongue and licks the corner of Jun Lixuan's mouth, and Jun Lixuan opens his mouth to welcome him in. Trembling, Ling Qiyang slightly probed into Jun Lixuan's mouth, and was immediately wrapped around Jun Lixuan's tongue. Afterwards, Jun Lixuan turned against the guests, pressed Ling Qiyang on the soft couch, and wantonly teased Ling Qiyang with his soft tongue.
"Mmmm..." Ling Qiyang's kiss became even hotter, and Jun Lixuan's breath scattered on his face, which made him feel very cold.
Looking at Ling Qiyang's blushing face, Jun Lixuan smiled, "Open your eyes and look at me."
Ling Qiyang, who was a little dizzy from being kissed, opened his eyes obediently, and when he met Shang Jun Lixuan's smiling eyes, a tingling sensation went up his tailbone and reached the top of his head.
"Hmm..." Ling Qiyang's fingers unconsciously grabbed Jun Lixuan's clothes, bearing the familiar yet unfamiliar pleasure. Jun Lixuan's face became more and more blurred in his sight.
Carefully explored every corner of each other's mouths, until Ling Qiyang's eyes glistened, and Jun Lixuan was letting him go, and the dragging body fluid moved a distance as the two separated, wetting the corners of Ling Qiyang's mouth, showing lure.
Jun Lixuan reached out to wipe off the water stains at the corner of Ling Qiyang's mouth, hugged him up and sat down, and kissed Ling Qiyang's eyes lightly. Ling Qiyang still couldn't recover, panting silently.
After a while, when Ling Qiyang came back to his senses, Jun Lixuan said with a smile: "My husband will cook soup for you at night, don't eat snacks, save your stomach for soup."
Ling Qiyang blinked and looked at him. Obviously he lost, Jun Lixuan didn't need to cook at all.
Jun Lixuan pinched the tip of his nose, "It's a reward for your fair performance." After speaking, he got up and left the house.
Ling Qiyang leaned on the soft pillow, his heartbeat was still a little too fast.
It was the first time for Lord Lin to wash his hands and make soup. Although the taste was a bit bland, it was also special. Ling Qiyang drank an extra bowl to save face, Jun Lixuan saw that he drank happily, and thought about improving next time. Think of a new gamble, continue to be intimate with Ling Qiyang...
