Chapter 1096 Ghost, there is a ghost!
The night is getting darker and darker, and the world is silent.
The noisy night insects in the past seem to have disappeared in Kunning Palace.
The third princess knelt in front of her mother's coffin, numbly adding paper money into the copper basin.
She didn’t know whether the paper money was really useful to the Queen Mother, or whether there really was Naihe Bridge and the Palace of Hell.
She only knew that from now on, she would have no mother.
In fact, she had vaguely known since she was a child that her mother valued her father more than her daughter.
Which concubine the father spent the night with, the second prince was hugged by the father, or which maid he accepted to serve in the study would make the queen mother furious.
Even if she occasionally gets sick and has a fever, her mother is more happy than sad.
Because of this, the father will come to visit her and then stay in Kunning Palace...
But when she was young, she did not know how to express her grievances of being ignored, so she would lose her temper and beat and scold the maids and eunuchs.
Only when she makes a mistake or gets into trouble, will the mother pay attention to her...
It wasn’t until she grew up and understood things that she realized how ignorant her mother was.
She also deliberately alienated her mother.
But now, the queen mother has passed away and lies alone in the coffin.
All the complaints and dissatisfaction suddenly disappeared, leaving only regret and confusion...
Jiayin changed into a moon-white dress and hurried to Kunning Palace. As soon as she entered the door and saw the lonely third princess, she couldn't help but shed tears.
The girl who smiles brightly and brightly at all times is like an abandoned little beast at this moment, lonely and pitiful.
“Princess, I’m coming!”
Jiayin stepped forward and hugged her tightly.
The third princess's eyes were still a little dazed. She turned around and saw the good news with tears streaming down her face. It took her a while to wake up and smiled softly.
“Jiayin, you shouldn’t have come. This palace is hell, and Kunning Palace is even more like a prison cell! Whoever gets involved will be in bad luck!
"No, I'm wrong. I am the **** of plague. My mother is dead, my father is heartless, and my fiancé doesn't like me. I am a failure in life and have no use at all."
“Don’t say that,” Jiayin’s heart ached like a knife. “No one can escape or stop birth, old age, illness, and death. Bad things just happened to happen together and have nothing to do with you.
“You are the third princess of Tianwu. You are beautiful, fierce, and noble. Everyone is envious of you. How could you be the God of Plague?
“Everything will pass, soon, it will get better soon.”
"Will you?" The third princess did not move, just leaning in Jiayin's arms, her youthful and bright face turned gray.
Jiayin had no choice but to take out a handkerchief from her purse and gently wiped the face of the third princess.
The third princess still wanted to speak, but her eyelids felt heavier and heavier, and she quickly fell into a deep sleep.
Caiyun's eyes were red and swollen from crying. Seeing his master like this, he quickly stepped forward on his knees.
Jiayin signaled her to speak softly, and then whispered, "Is there a suitable room? Let it be tidied up so that the third princess can have a good sleep. Otherwise, she will be too sad and may become depressed and sick easily."
Caiyun glanced around and asked, "Are you going to place it here?"
"Well," Jiayin nodded, "I'm afraid the princess doesn't want to leave Kunning Palace at this time." Of course, even if she wants to leave, it may not be easy.
This sentence, the good news remained in my heart and I did not say it.
The emperor clearly wants to keep the funeral a secret and let the dead make way for the living. This matter must be kept strictly confidential. Kunning Palace can only be entered but not exited!
Caiyun immediately took the maids to clean the side hall. Fortunately, this was the place where the third princess lived when she was young.
Although it has been a long time since we moved away, the basic bed, table, chairs and other items are still there. We can go to the **** in charge and ask for bedding and other soft materials, so that we can live there.
Shui Ling was very strong, so he carried the third princess on his back and put her on the bed. Caiyun took off her shoes, wiped her hands and face, and fed her master warm water, then she felt relieved.
Jiayin sat outside, briefly asked about the past, and comforted Caiyun and the maids.
“Don’t worry, the third princess is too tired and too sad. It’s a good thing to have a good sleep at this time.
“You should keep watch when you need to, and rest when you need to. Get up tomorrow morning and listen to the princess’ arrangements.”
Caiyun and others quickly agreed. Although their expressions were still a bit frightened, they were much better than before.
You must know that the third princess is impatient with general affairs. When Jiayin lived in Zhilan Palace, she was the one who arranged almost everything, big and small, and the third princess didn't care at all.
Compared to the serious master of the third princess, the maids and eunuchs are more accustomed to listening to good news.
At this time, she came urgently and naturally became the backbone of everyone.
Jiayin was about to turn around and look at the third princess, but a white shadow flashed across the yard, causing the timid **** to scream.
“Ah, there is a ghost!”
Everyone was so frightened by this voice that they went crazy and ran around like headless flies. After all, there was a coffin with a corpse lying in the main hall. Everyone thought it was a fake corpse!
Jiayin frowned, and just as she was about to scold him, the little fox Sanjo jumped into her arms.
Jiayin breathed a long sigh of relief and couldn't help but slap the troublemaker on the head, "Don't be so elusive next time, and if you dare to scare people again, I'll make you into a fox fur scarf!"
The little fox felt the anger of his master and shrank his neck, not daring to say a word.
Jiayin couldn't help it, so he turned to everyone in the courtyard and scolded, "Who was shouting just now, slap him twenty times, go back to the house and reflect! If you dare to talk nonsense again and disturb the peace of the deceased, you will be severely punished!"
The timid **** was immediately pulled out, slapped twenty times in the face without even asking for mercy, and then pulled off again crying.
Everyone else is much more cautious and works hard, and no one dares to speak easily.
Jiayin hugged the little fox and sat in front of the door so that everyone could see her at any time and report anything.
When everyone saw this, they were naturally very relieved.
Therefore, paper money was kept burning in the copper basin in front of the Queen's coffin, and incense candles and white lanterns were kept lit everywhere.
The ice cubes needed to cool down the coffin were replaced every hour without any neglect.
Jiayin’s hand was stroking the little fox, and she felt mixed in her heart.
She got along well with the third princess, but the queen... really didn't have any friendship at all. It could even be said that there was a deep grudge.
Unexpectedly, the queen died like this, and her dignity after death was still required to be protected.
I have to say that things are impermanent...
In the Xilong Pavilion, the prince was still sorting out the memorial. Eunuch Feng stood at the door with a bow, secretly pulled his sleeves to cover his face, and yawned.
He thought for a moment, then diligently stepped forward and added another candlestick to his master, and carefully advised, "Your Highness, it's already midnight, it's time to rest."
The prince raised his head, glanced at the door, and asked, "Is there no news yet?"
Eunuch Feng was startled, his mind was spinning wildly, and he finally figured it out, so he quickly responded, "Your Highness, wait a moment, I will go take a look right now."
After saying that, he quickly retreated and rushed towards Kunning Palace like crazy after leaving the door.
It’s really a secret!
He had just brought the princess here, thinking that the third princess would be with the princess. Who would have thought that His Highness the Crown Prince was still thinking about the follow-up.
Mistake, mistake!
