The moon and stars are sparse, and there are shadows of swaying dark branches and flowers everywhere.
Perhaps it was the two princesses who had an accident during the day, and the fourteenth princess' body had not yet been put into an burial. The quiet palace was like a sleeping beast, which was inexplicably terrifying.
In the Chunhua Palace, the lights are still bright.
Ning Concubine sat on the bed, thinking about the things of the day and became annoyed and annoyed.
This is truly a disaster!
"Niangniang, it's time to sleep." The palace maid stepped forward to persuade.
Concubine Ning raised her eyebrows: "Sleep no matter what, I'm full of anger, how can I sleep in this palace?"
It is a shame and shame to be interrogated like a prisoner again tomorrow when he fell asleep and opened his eyes.
The more Ning Fei thought about it, the more annoyed she became, and she slapped the bedpost: "Go and bring a plate of roast chicken!"
The palace maid's eyes widened: "Niangniang—"
So late for roast chicken
Concubine Ning glared at the palace maid and said angrily, "Why, I can't even eat only roast chicken in this palace?"
What’s wrong with not being able to sleep and eat something? She was worried about gaining weight and didn’t dare to eat. Now that I think about it, it’s all worth living an extra day in this palace. After this hurdle, she will eat whatever she wants, and she will never eat it again. Hypocritical.
The palace maid was scolded, and she didn't dare to talk anymore, and hurriedly went to the small kitchen to cook chicken.
Emperor Jing Ming rested in Kunning Palace and was waiting for news at the moment.
A servant in a strong suit came hurriedly with a strange look.
"How is it, is Concubine Ning asleep?" Emperor Jing Ming asked.
Between Concubine Ning and Concubine Xian, who should be tested first, he thought about it and chose Concubine Ning.
Concubine Ning is in good health, so let Concubine Ning come first.
If Concubine Xian was allowed to come first, it would be innocent if she was frightened by Concubine Xian's physical condition.
The servant lowered his head and said, "Report to the emperor, Concubine Ning hasn't fallen asleep yet."
When Emperor Jing Ming heard this, he was furious and murmured, "It's time, and I haven't fallen asleep yet!"
After muttering, he asked the servant again: "Then what is Concubine Ning doing?"
The waiter resisted the urge to twitch the corners of his mouth, lowered his eyes and replied, "Concubine Ning is eating roast chicken."
At that moment, Emperor Jing Ming was a little dazed and couldn't help but look at the queen.
The queen looked indifferent.
Seeing the emperor making a fuss, what happened to Concubine Ning eating a roast chicken
After staying in the harem for a long time, so many lonely and boring women often develop amazing hobbies.
Concubine Ning's roast chicken is simply not worth mentioning.
The empress' calmness made Emperor Jing Ming more and more at a loss: Has he misunderstood his harem concubines all along
"And what about Concubine Xian?" Emperor Jing Ming calmed down and asked through gritted teeth.
"The lights in Concubine Xian's palace have been turned off."
Emperor Jing Ming breathed a sigh of relief.
Finally a normal one.
After pondering for a moment, Emperor Jing Ming ordered: "Then go to Concubine Xian first."
It's not impossible for Concubine Ning to go there, but thinking that Concubine Ning was eating roast chicken when Fourteen suddenly appeared, the effect seemed to be greatly reduced.
Concubine Ning is a tiger girl in the general door. What if she is panicked and smashes the fourteen with a roast chicken
Fourteen is already pitiful enough to not suffer such a crime again.
In contrast, the concubine Xian who is still sleeping is more suitable.
In Yuquan Palace, the lights everywhere were turned off, but Concubine Xian did not fall asleep.
As soon as you close your eyes, it is the pale face of the Fourteenth Princess, and the eyes that suddenly opened and closed, how can you fall asleep
She tossed and turned on the bed like pancakes, and only the faint outlines of the furniture could be seen through the azure gauze curtain.
What she saw in the daytime undoubtedly cast a shadow over her heart.
Dong Dong Dong—a faint knock on the door came into the ears of Concubine Xian.
Concubine Xian suddenly sat up: "Who?"
The palace maid who was resting at her feet got up, her sleepy eyes were hazy: "Niangniang, why did you get up?"
"Did you hear a knock on the door?"
"Knock on the door? The servant didn't hear it." The palace servant glanced at the door blankly, seeing Concubine Xian's face turning pale, and putting on her shoes, "The servant, go and see—"
"No need!" After saying that, Concubine Xian lay down.
She must have heard it wrong. If she made any noise and spread it to the emperor, she would feel guilty.
dong dong dong —
This time, the knock on the door suddenly became clear.
If the previous faint knock on the door seemed to come from the door outside, this time the knock came to the door of the house, behind the door with the splendid gauze curtain.
Concubine Xian was lying on the bed with her whole body tense, her underwear soaked with cold sweat.
The palace maid got up in a hurry, her expression a little flustered: "Niangniang, the servant also heard it."
It shouldn't be, there are palace servants on duty outside the house. If someone knocked on the door, why would there be no response
If it was a palace servant who knocked on the door, it would have been time to declare the reason.
If you disturb the sleeping empress at will, you must be punished.
dong dong dong - the knock on the door is more urgent, showing the urgency of the knocker.
"Niangniang, the servants should go take a look?"
Concubine Xian shook her lips and nodded.
If the knocking on the door continues like this, she will definitely collapse, so it is better to let the palace maid take a look.
The palace maid rolled up the bed tent, held the lamp, and walked to the door, comforting Concubine Xian: "Which feral cat in the palace ran in."
She said this to cheer herself up.
The story of the Fourteenth Princess has spread throughout the harem, and their empresses are involved...
The maid came to the door, took a deep breath and opened the door, but before she could even scream, she disappeared into the darkness, and only the wind from the main room came in, blowing the curtains to and fro.
Concubine Xian sat alone on the bed, staring at the door with a stiff body.
After a while, she woke up like a dream and hurriedly called out the name of the maid.
No one responded, but strange footsteps sounded.
Strange, because the footsteps were not light at all, as if they were dragging on the ground.
Concubine Xian looked at the door uncontrollably.
A pale face slowly emerged in the darkness, with purple lips.
At that moment, Concubine Xian's whole body's blood was frozen, she couldn't move at all, she could only watch the Fourteenth Princess, who was lying rigidly on the bed in the daytime, approach her little by little.
After an unknown amount of time, Concubine Xian finally found her voice and screamed: "Don't come here—"
The Fourteenth Princess actually stopped when she heard these words, and stared straight at Concubine Xian with her re-opened eyes.
A resentful voice sounded: "Why did the maiden kill me?"
Concubine Xian was horrified and couldn't help but say, "I don't have it, so don't look for me!"
"No?" The fourteenth princess with a pale face seemed to have a sneer at the corners of her mouth, and suddenly took a step closer.
A gust of wind blew in, the candle light on the table swayed a few times and suddenly went out, and Concubine Xian's eyes were suddenly dark.
In the darkness, she seemed to be able to sense the cold air emanating from the other person's body, as well as the peculiar smell of the dead.
"If you hadn't instructed Duke Deng to harm the Thirteenth Sister, I wouldn't have died in vain to save the Thirteenth Sister... You pay me back—"
Concubine Xian, whose vision had adapted to the darkness, watched the pair of cold and stiff hands reaching out to her, the string called reason was completely snapped, and she crawled to the door to escape.
"Don't come here, you are voluntary to save Princess Fuqing, no wonder I-"
