"Empress, are you okay!" The Jia Bi hurried forward to check Du Xuechun's situation. Du Xuechun shook his head blankly, did not speak, indicating that he was safe.
"Yes, how about you empress empress? Are you okay?"
"Would you like to call the imperial doctor over to see?"
A group of concubines all at once surrounded them. Compared with those who were concerned about Du Xuechun's safety, most people were watching the theater. Only Xu Guiren stood at a distance and did not get in, and he was standing in the distance with his head down and looking at the ground.
"I'm okay, let's all spread out. Get together, it's weirdly hot!" Du Xuechun stepped off the sedan chair with Mingying's support, and said with a smile.
Hearing this, everyone smiled and scattered.
"What did Xu Guiren find?" Du Xuechun noticed the abnormality of Xu Guiren not far away, and stepped forward to ask. As soon as this remark came out, everyone's attention was focused on Xu Guiren.
"You see, empress empress, there seems to be someone deliberately smearing tung oil on the pebbles on the ground. The amount of tung oil is small, so it's not obvious." Xu Guiren squatted down to look carefully, regardless of the reminder of the maid Xiaotong.
"Oh? Really?" Xu Guiren's words caused Du Xuechun to be taken aback, then raised her eyebrows and walked forward, lowering her body to observe.
Du Xuechun stretched out his index finger and lightly tapped on a piece of pebbles, a smear of sticky liquid stuck to the belly of the index finger, Du Xuechun lifted his finger up to his nose and smelled it. Secretly alert, this smell is indeed tung oil! Someone dared to do tricks within the confines of the Queen Mother's palace!
No matter who it is against, there are not many people in this harem who can have the courage.
Everyone guessed that it was the Queen Mother's hands and feet, just to deal with the Queen, even Mingying next to Du Xuechun also suspected that, but Du Xuechun was the first to deny this idea.
It will not be the queen, this is too obvious. The Queen Mother would not be so stupid as to work within her own limits, and the first person to doubt was her.
Mingying looked at Du Xuechun with doubts in her eyes. Du Xuechun didn't speak, and shook her head to signal Mingying not to speak.
"What happened just now, everyone present can't speak out, just as if they didn't see it, did you hear it?" Du Xuechun stood up, looked around, and suddenly ordered.
"Yes!" The concubines replied in unison. Seeing Du Xuechun's operation like this, they became more determined that the man behind the scenes was behind the scenes. Otherwise, why would the queen order everyone to go without saying anything? It's not about worrying about the ugliness of the family.
"Xu Guiren, is your body better?" Du Xuechun suddenly looked at Xu Guiren with a smile, with a deep expression on his face.
"Queen Empress Xie is worried, everything is the same, not bad!" Xu Guiren shook his head. Regarding the inquiries in Du Xuechun's eyes, Xu Guiren just pretended not to know anything, and then coughed lightly and recovered. The color of the past is soft and weak.
"Look at you, coughing again. Since this body is not good, it is better not to walk around." Du Xuechun said as she walked up to Xu Guiren and raised his hand to help Xu Guiren to close his collar. Continued:
"Mingying, go get my cloak and put it on Xu Guiren! Don't catch a cold."
"Okay, Empress." Although Mingying was puzzled, she still followed Du Xuechun's instructions and walked to the maid behind her, took the cloak in her hand and handed it to Du Xuechun.
"The queen empress can't do it, it's not ceremonious!" When Xu Guiren saw that Du Xuechun was actually holding a cloak to put on himself, he couldn't help but took two steps back silently.
"What's wrong with this, come, don't move!" Du Xuechun didn't mind, regardless of Xu Guiren's panic, put the cloak in his hand on Xu Guiren, and carefully tied her neckband.
Everyone was shocked when they saw this scene. I have never heard of it, when did this Xu Guiren walk so closely with the empress? The queen empress actually put on her a cloak herself!
Looking at all of this, the Jiabi on the side felt strange. The Queen was so close to Xu Guiren, it always felt uncomfortable in her heart.
"Ah! Ghost, ghost!"
Just as everyone was immersed in the shock and incomprehension that the Queen and Xu Guiren brought to them, a stern woman's call broke through the tranquility of the night. Immediately afterwards, several maids and eunuchs also called out in surprise. Pointing to the tree not far away with fear.
"What the hell! Hugh is going to talk nonsense here and deceive people!" Although Mingying is also afraid of ghosts, she still boldly shouted.
"Auntie, there are real ghosts, look there!" One of the eunuchs who had collapsed on the ground in fright, turned his head with his eyes closed, and pointed to a place not far away.
"Ah! Ghost!"
When everyone was in doubt, a female ghost wearing a red dress and a pale face was suspended in mid-air and flew over in front of everyone. Several timid concubines fainted on the spot.
Not only that, when everyone was panicking, a maid beside Shu Fei felt cold on her face, thinking it was raining. When she raised her hand and touched her face lightly, she stretched out her hand to see that it turned out to be bright red blood.
"Niang...Blood!" said the maid, she stretched out her hand and passed it to Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu was frightened on the spot. Several people in a row felt a cold liquid dripping on their faces, and when they fixed their eyes, they were all red blood.
"Where are ghosts in this world? It's just that someone is pretending to be a ghost, so stop me." Du Xuechun looked at everything that happened before him coldly, only to find it ridiculous. Loudly scolded the people who had been in a mess, and ordered the guards who followed to help the fainted concubine. As for the maids and eunuchs, they were dragged to one side to rest.
"Mingying, come here." Du Xuechun called Mingying to come forward and whispered something in his ear.
"Mom... Niangniang, I'm afraid!" Mingying didn't know what she heard, her face turned pale suddenly, and she stammered.
"Don't be afraid, don't you believe me? There can be no ghosts in this world!" Du Xuechun smiled softly, raised his hand to withdraw the emission from Mingying's forehead to the back of his head, and said patiently.
"Yeah! I believe my mother!" Mingying pursed her lips, frowning her eyebrows, and looked like a strong man disappeared. As he said, he pointed at the place where there were ghosts.
Seeing Xu Guiren supporting the maid Xiaotong behind him, he almost couldn't hold back a laugh.
This Mingying is a loyal girl!
After a while, Mingying ran out of the darkness excitedly with something in her hand.
"Niangniang, I found it! It turned out to be a paper man. The paper man has a string tied to his body, so it can fly in the air!" Mingying panting, ran to Du Xuechun and stopped, raising a triumphant face. Everyone showed off.
"It turned out to be this thing?" Jiabi stepped forward with a look of surprise and picked up the paper man in Mingying's hand. After watching for a long time, she suddenly couldn't help laughing.
"puff!"
"No, I didn't expect everyone to be frightened by such a trick." Jiabi said as she walked towards Concubine Shu, who was scared to death just now.
"You, hurry up and throw it away, it's really a bad thing!" Shu Fei remembered how she looked just now, so rude, she couldn't help being ashamed and annoyed. He stepped forward and grabbed the paper man from Jiayu's hand, and threw it on the ground fiercely, and stomped a few more feet.
