Chapter 189 - The More I think about it, the weirder it is
But what made Qin Luofei curious was, why didn't she hear the child's crying tonight? Could it be that he had already been discovered by the other party?
Qin Luofei returned to her room. It was already the third fragment of the night, and it wouldn't be long before dawn arrived. Her red eyes were already a bit sleepy, the moment Qin Luofei laid down, she immediately fell asleep.
Daffodil Dayflower, who was sleeping next door to Qin Luofei's room, just happened to hear the commotion and woke up. She remembered that the Miss had said that she would capture the murderer tonight, so she immediately got up and walked out.
The moon was gloomy and the Huishang Hall appeared exceptionally cold. Occasionally, a gust of cold wind would blow over. Daffodil Dayflower could not help but feel goosebumps all over her body. Wasn't it rumored that she heard a baby crying in the palace? But why was there no sound at all?
Xi Hua mustered up her courage and walked around Huishang Hall, but in the end, she did not discover anything. He had scared himself, and it was not at all like what the ladies were rumoured to be.
She went back to her room with a sigh of relief and closed the door.
Just as she was about to lie down, she heard a sound coming from outside, followed by the sound of children crying.
That kind of crying sound seemed close and distant, sometimes clear and sometimes vague.
Her hands couldn't help but tremble, but when she thought of how the Miss had treated her so well, and how she had been mistaken by the people in the palace as a monster.
Thinking of this, she mustered her courage and quietly walked out of the room with the door open.
Accompanied by the noise, Daffodil Daydream slowly approached the place where her child was crying.
His body was shivering non-stop, and his voice came out from the backyard of the Huishang Hall.
She clearly remembered that there was a small bamboo forest in the backyard. They rarely came to the backyard, so it was rather shady during the day, let alone at night.
When she finally reached the backyard, she leaned against the arch of the arch and peeked her head out. She discovered that there was a weak fiber optic fiber in the small bamboo forest, and that was where the voice came from.
When she saw this, Daffodil Daydream's body had already collapsed and her heart was beating wildly. Was there really a ghost here?
Just as she sat down. He accidentally bumped into a vase beside him and made a sound.
Daffodil Daydream was so frightened that she bit her own hand. Could it be that she had already discovered him? She held her breath, encouraging herself to look again, to see clearly this time.
Daffodil Daydream stuck her head out again, then her vision suddenly turned black and she fainted.
In the morning, there were still some dewdrops on the trees of Huishang Hall. Normally, Daffodil Daydream would have already woken up and prepared food for Qin Luofei to eat, but today, there was no longer any movement in the room.
Qin Luofei was awakened by the blinding sunlight outside the window. When he looked out the window, it was almost noon.
This window should have been open last night, but why was it open today?
Or did he remember incorrectly last night?
Qin Luofei felt a wave of headache when she was still hazy and sleepy.
However, Daffodil Daydream was also feeling weird today. She didn't wake him up this late at night?
Qin Luofei put on her clothes and walked out.
"Chrysanthemum, Chrysanthemum."
She called out several times, but there was no response. Where did this girl go today? Normally, she would be in her room at this time of the day.
The more Qin Luofei thought about it, the more she felt that something was wrong. Could it be?
She went immediately to Daihua's room, which was empty. She went to the side pavilion but did not find her figure. Recently, a series of events had occurred in Huishang Hall, and with the sudden disappearance of Dazzling Spring, she was extremely worried.
When Qin Luofei returned to the Huishang Hall with a worried expression, she could only search for it again.
It was said that the crying of babies came from here. Was the disappearance of the daisy related to this?
Qin Luofei searched through the yard, but she still couldn't find Daisy.
"Daisy, where are you?"
Qin Luofei came to the backyard and saw a shoe missing by the arch. She walked over and picked up the shoes.
Qin Luofei came to the small bamboo forest. This place was overgrown with weeds, so they rarely came here. Could it be that Daffodil Daydream was taken away from him last night? She looked around before her gaze finally landed on the bamboo forest …
"Daffodil Daydream!"
When Qin Luofei saw the unconscious Daihua, she quickly helped her back into the room.
He made some medicine for her and spent the whole afternoon by her side.
Qin Luofei had also carefully observed her body. There weren't any traces of people hitting her body, but why was she in the bamboo forest?
All this was only known after Daiyan woke up. She did not dare to reveal this matter. If people knew that something had happened to Daihua, it would only make the people in the palace even more terrified of Huishang Hall.
"Miss, Miss." Daffodil Daydream shouted as cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
"Daihua, I'm here. Wake up." Qin Luofei's heart ached as she tightly held onto her hand. Hibiscus had followed him for so long that he had never had a good time. Now that such a thing had happened, Qin Luofei felt very uncomfortable in her heart.
After a while, Daffodil Daydream finally woke up.
"Miss, it's good to see that you're fine." said the faint voice of the chrysanthemum.
"Idiot, how could something have happened to me? What happened to you last night? Why are you in the bamboo forest? "
"I heard the crying of the child. Miss, I also saw someone in the bamboo forest. But just when I was about to take a closer look, I suddenly fainted. "
"From the looks of it, it's impossible for her to be a vengeful spirit. She's clearly a person." Qin Luofei said with complete certainty.
Xi Ju was surprised, "Yes, Miss. Who do you suspect?"
"Without any evidence right now, I don't dare to make a decision rashly. But could this have something to do with the blossoming of the tree? " Qin Luofei had left the tree behind just in case.
"Miss, what should we do now?" Thinking of what happened yesterday, Daffodil Daydream was still in a state of panic.
Qin Luofei slightly pondered, then said: "Did you really hear the child's wail last night?"
"Yep, it's absolutely true. But I don't know why I fainted afterwards." Feverfew tried to remember what had happened yesterday.
Qin Luofei sighed. It seemed that it would be even more difficult to find evidence after this.
"Miss, what's this in your hand?" Daffodil Daydream asked curiously.
"It was left behind by where you were lying earlier. This half of the cloth must have been left behind by someone who hurriedly walked out of the bamboo forest and caught the bamboo."
But I saw that only the Imperial Consort or above had such a cloth in the palace. "
Xi Hua guessed: "There are only a few imperial concubines in the palace, could it be Imperial Consort Leng s again?"
"I don't know. I can only wait for this voice to appear again before I know who it is." The more Qin Luofei thought about it, the more she felt that something was amiss. If he wanted to kill her, he might as well kill her straightforwardly. Why did he have to go through so much trouble?
Sunset Flower nodded. There were no major injuries on her body, it was just that … He was somewhat frightened and did not think about his food. He would probably have to rest for a day or two.
Qin Luofei was still baffled by this matter and wanted to find out why.
After thinking about it again and again, Qin Luofei came to the small bamboo forest in the backyard to see what was going on. He hoped that he could find some clues, but this small bamboo forest was not big. He could see the end of it at a glance.
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, something dropped in front of her eyes.
She lowered her head to take a closer look, and her heart slightly trembled. Phoenix Jade Pendant! Why was this jade pendant here? From the Princess Tranquil all the way until now, she had already fallen into the lake, and now that she could return to this place, Qin Luofei originally thought that crying was man-made.
However, when she saw this piece of jade, her heart sank. She started to doubt the conclusion she had made just now.
This jade pendant was different from other pendants. Every time it appeared for no reason, it would scare Qin Luofei.
She picked up the jade and looked around, but didn't see anyone.
Qin Luofei sat in front of the dressing table and looked at the jade pendant again and again.
What was all this? Does this have anything to do with the jade pendant? Princess Tranquil brought it with her when she left. This jade pendant appeared today when the children were crying last night.
Was it really the Princess Tranquil that had returned? Her transmigration had happened before, this wasn't impossible.
"Miss, lunch is ready, hurry up and go eat."
It was fortunate that Daihua was fine. If something had happened to her, what would he do in the palace?
"Daffodil Dayflower, your body is just right. Rest more." Qin Luofei said with concern.
Sunflower nodded.
At this time, the Imperial Consort Leng and the Emperor Ming were sitting together drinking tea.
Imperial Consort Leng charmingly said: "It's rare for Your Majesty to think of chenqie. It's really chenqie's honor."
"I have something to ask you. Has something happened in the imperial harem recently?" Emperor Ming's face was gloomy, obviously he had also heard of the matter regarding Huishang Hall.
"Yes, chenqie is about to report to the Emperor. Someone said that Huishang Hall's children are crying non-stop at night. I wonder what's going on?"
Imperial Consort Leng took a sip of tea, and looked at Emperor Ming with her charming eyes, her tone slightly nervous.
"How could this happen? Does the Concubine Qin have another child?" Emperor Ming did not think about the gods and ghosts.
Imperial Consort Leng looked at Emperor Ming again before replying, "I heard that it was a female infant's cry, and many people in the palace guessed that it was Princess Tranquil who caused it."
Emperor Ming placed the cup of tea on the table with a "pa" sound and said sternly, "Preposterous! How could such a thing have happened? "
Generations of emperors did not believe in ghosts and gods, but they were wary of ghosts and gods.
To spread such news within the Imperial Palace would be detrimental to the dignity of the Imperial Family.
"Your majesty, many palace maids and eunuchs heard this. It really is a child's cry." You said that this Huishang Hall had an iron tree in bloom before, and now that it's a child crying, could this really be a bad omen? " Imperial Consort Leng explained vividly in front of Emperor Ming.
Emperor Ming's sharp eyes landed on Imperial Consort Leng, and he said: "Imperial Consort Leng, are you sure this is true? Find out, this is no small matter. If this matter caused the people of the palace to panic, then the Huishang Hall should have been sealed. "
"Your majesty, this is absolutely true!" Imperial Consort Leng said with certainty.
Emperor Ming raised his head and said coldly: "Where is the evidence?"
"Someone, go call the palace maids and eunuchs who have heard this." Imperial Consort Leng instructed the maid beside him.
Not long after maid left, he brought back a few palace maids and young eunuchs.
"Greetings to Your Majesty and the Empress."
"Get up! "You will explain in detail what you have heard and what the Emperor has told you." Imperial Consort Leng raised his hand and called for them to get up.
Each and every palace maid and eunuch told the Emperor Ming what they had heard recently, and they even guaranteed that what they had heard was true in front of the Emperor Ming.
"Enough!" Emperor Ming didn't want to hear any more.
"Your Majesty, what chenqie said is the truth. This Huishang Hall must have been provoked by something unclean." Imperial Consort Leng continued to add fuel to the fire.
"To the Huishang Hall, I do want to see what unclean things there are. It makes the palace very restless." Emperor Ming stood up and was about to go to Huishang Hall himself, but he was stopped by the group consisting of good Imperial Consort Leng.
"Your majesty, you're the Ninth Paragon, you can't go to such an unclean place." Imperial Consort Leng remembered that the last time the iron tree blossomed, the emperor and Qin Luofei parted ways. At this time, it was best for the emperor to not meet with her.
