Chapter 672: Death with Eyes Closed, Bleeding From the Seven Orifices

When the palace people heard the sound, they immediately quickened their pace and rushed forward.

When the light suddenly brightened, the scene in the courtyard was revealed, and everyone gasped when they saw this.

The timid palace maid took a few steps back, fell to the ground, and screamed at the same time.

Princess Qinyang's legs were already trembling and her steps were weak. Qinyang covered her heart, pointed at the person on the ground, and asked with a trembling voice: "Is she...is she..."

The old nanny immediately stepped forward, hugged the young princess in her arms, patted the princess on the back, blocked the princess's sight, and comforted: "Don't be afraid, princess, don't be afraid, princess, it must be some sick palace maid." She fell ill in the middle of the night, so the old slave sent someone to take her away. The princess must not look at her again, lest her eyes get dirty."

Princess Qinyang's eyes widened and she nestled in the arms of the old nanny. When she thought of what she had just seen, she pushed the old nanny away and shouted: "She is bleeding from all her orifices, she is obviously a dead person——"

"No, no, our princess is so blessed. How can we see such filthy things as the dead?" The old nanny hugged Princess Qinyang again, and then held the princess tightly, preventing the princess from pushing her away again, and then He ordered the palace people around him: "Why don't you take that vicious dog out? Do you really want to destroy our princess's body before you give up?"

The palace people recovered from the shock and immediately dragged the person on the ground away with all their hands.

After everyone had gone away, the old nanny also helped Princess Qinyang back to her dormitory. The maids who stayed outside the courtyard to clean up started talking about it.

"What's going on, that person? I think that person is Sister Xiang'er?"

"It's her. I saw it was her. How come a person who was fine during the day suddenly died? I just heard Xiao Xizi, who was carrying the person out, saying that the person was dead. It was either a serious illness or death. He would not close his eyes until death, bleeding from all his orifices, and those black eyes stared straight at people, making them feel cold all over."

"Stop talking, it's so late at night, it's weird!"

"But how did Xiang'er die? Tell me, could it be..." The palace maid said halfway, then looked around to make sure no one was around, and then whispered: "Were she taken away?"

"What?" The other maid didn't understand what her companion meant.

The palace maid clicked her tongue and pointed to the ground: "You have forgotten that Xiang'er came from Puxiang Palace. Princess Yuping just left. I heard that Xiang'er was also the one who personally served Princess Yuping. Could it be? , Princess Yuping is in need of someone down here, will she take a maid down with her?"

"No...it can't be right?"

"Why not, isn't she the jade girl in front of the Buddha? How can she not know these secrets? I just said that it has been extremely cold these days. Maybe that person has not left yet, but her ghost is still floating in the harem. "

"Bah, bah, bah! I'm getting goosebumps when I'm about to be told!"

The more the two maids talked, the more they became afraid of each other.

They looked at each other and rubbed their arms together, but at this moment, a female voice behind them said: "What are you doing?"

The two maids screamed in unison. When they turned around, they saw that the person who came was a human being, not a ghost. Then they breathed a sigh of relief, stroking their chests and complaining: "Qin'er, you can't make any sound when you walk? You're so scary!"

Qin'er was obviously still sleepy. She rubbed her eyes, looked at the empty left and right, and asked, "I heard a noise in the house just now. I came out to see what happened. I heard that someone is sick? Who is it?" What's the disease?"

"It's not an illness, it's..." The little palace maid lowered her voice cautiously, and then secretly said: "It's death."

Qin'er's eyes widened and she covered her mouth in disbelief: "Dead...dead? Dead person?"

The palace maid nodded hurriedly and said, "It's right where you are standing."

Qin'er hurriedly took a few steps back, staggering and almost falling.

The little palace maid finally smiled. She had been gloomy all night, as if she was pleased by Qin'er's action, and then said: "I lied to you, it was the gravel intersection in front. We were left to clean it. Why, you are anyway You're awake too, if you don't want to stay with us."

"I don't want it. Wait, after talking for a long time, who is dead?"

"No..." The little palace maid was about to say something when she suddenly thought of something and cast her shocked eyes towards Qin'er.

The other palace maid obviously thought of the same thing. The two looked at each other, and then looked at Qin'er's eyes, which became extremely unpredictable.

Qin'er was confused and frowned when the two of them didn't speak.

The palace maid then shook her voice and said, "You...you seem to have come from Puxiang Palace together with Xiang'er?"

Qin'er nodded without thinking too much: "Yes, we are all from Puxiang Palace, what's wrong?"

The two palace maids immediately retreated. One of them took courage and said, "The person who died... the person who died... is Xiang'er..."

Qin'er didn't seem to have expected the answer. She was stunned for a long time before she realized what she was doing. Her expression was extremely shocked and she stood there as if frozen.

Seeing Qin'er being so surprised, the two palace maids calmed down a bit and said, "I asked grandma to arrange it and put it in the second firewood shed in the kitchen. You can go and have a look."

Qin'er paused, then raised her feet and ran quickly to the kitchen.

The moonlight is hazy tonight and the wind is strong.

It was as if God was warning that something unknown was approaching.

The palace has been very restless recently, and rumors are constantly spreading among the maids and eunuchs.

Just two days later, some sounds were heard not only in the harem, but also in the vestibule.

In the morning, Rong Su stood in his place and heard the officials whispering because the emperor did not come.

"Did another one die?"

"It seems like, I heard it's already the fifth one."

"Could it really be related to that person's death?"

"Hush, don't be alarmist. If this reaches the ears of the Emperor, I'm afraid you will be punished."

Rong Su didn't understand some incomprehensible words, so he looked at Li Jun behind him.

Li Jun consciously clarified the prince's doubts and whispered: "In the past two days, there have been frequent deaths of palace maids in the harem. The cause of death is unknown, but the symptoms of death are the same. They all bleed from the seven orifices and die without closing their eyes. And it just so happens that those who died were all It is the Puxiang Palace, and the people who were around Princess Yuping during her lifetime. Some people speculate that this is Princess Yuping's restless spirit and she is still causing trouble. After all, Princess Yuping was still a beautiful girl in front of the Buddha. She has a deep connection with the Buddha, and her soul is not as good as that of ordinary people. I'm afraid. It's black and white and impermanent, but the princess cannot..."

Rong Su became more and more confused as he listened to these talks about ghosts and gods. He frowned and put the matter behind him.

After a while, the emperor arrived.

The man in the dragon robe, who had worked so hard that his hair was gray, but was full of energy, came in step by step, accompanied by the eunuch Qi Fu.

All civil and military officials in the court immediately knelt down and shouted three times: "Long live!"
