Chapter 697
"...I am the top scholar, but after my death, I fell into such a situation. Without anyone to pay tribute, I have no sacrifices to be valuable. I asked me to clear the little ghosts and how to reincarnate? If I can't be reincarnated, I will come to you every day!"
Madam Cen was covered in cold sweat when she heard this. She couldn't sleep well for several nights, which made her eyes dark. At this time, when facing the ghost with resentment, she was even more scared: "You, why didn't you go to find someone else, why did you stare at me? I'm not familiar with you? If you resent the Empress in your heart, you can go to find the Empress! Why did you recognize me?"
"Aren't you the most capable person around Yurou? How dare you ask me to find Yurou and let her see me like this. If you are not loyal to Yurou, I will let you come down to accompany me now."
"No, no!" Madam Cen's face was covered in cold sweat.
"I want sacrifices! I want silver!"
Madam Cen was crying and she was crying: "I am currently working in the palace and I am not allowed to leave the palace privately. You don't know the rules in the palace, you are not allowed to burn paper money..."
"That's not to give it? Well, if you don't agree, what's the point of asking for you? I'll kill you now."
Madam Cen was so scared that she almost jumped up when she saw the ghost of "Ye Zhao" closer to her.
Although the palace rules are strict and no money is allowed, it is a matter of the future. If she does not agree now, she will go to see King Yama now.
Madam Cen calculated quickly in her mind and nodded quickly and agreed: "Okay, okay, I'll give it, but I don't have any money for incense, candles and paper."
"The next day, the next night, I will take it in the southwest corner of the Imperial Garden. If you don't come, I will peel your skin, pull out your intestines, and tie it around your neck..."
Madam Cen was so scared that her teeth trembled and nodded repeatedly: "For it, when it gets dark the next day, I will go to the southwest corner of the Imperial Garden to send money. Please keep your word. Don't come to me again if you get the money! What does your affairs with the Empress have to do with me, a servant?"
Madam Cen said, and began to sob in grievance.
A cold wind blew, and when Madam Cen wiped tears with the back of her hand, the ghost in front of her disappeared.
Madam Cen held the quilt and was so scared that she cried in a low voice.
Chu Junlan lay on the beam of the room, quietly waiting for Madam Cen to fall asleep before quietly returning to Zhongcui Palace.
Xiao Xu had just seen Rusheng come back. When he saw Chu Junlan rolling into the window, he hurried forward to greet him and whispered: "Today has been a little longer."
"Yes, but fortunately, I don't have to go in the future. Tomorrow, you will take my outfit out of the palace and destroy it." Chu Junlan said, while changing Ye Xingyi and putting it in his bag.
Xiao Xu naturally nodded and agreed, and said with a smile: "It is good if you don't go, so as not to worry that I will be worried, for fear that someone will find you."
Chu Junlan smiled and bent his eyes, blew his chest, but his hand was held by his big hand and pressed against his chest.
After the two lay down quietly, Chu Junlan turned over and pressed Xiao Xu, and whispered in his ear: "You can release the news before the next day."
Xiao Xu hugged her waist with his arms, turned over and pressed her over: "I understand, just leave it to me."

Concubine Shu got up early and sat in front of the dressing box after breakfast. While the palace servants combed her hair, they looked at the trays held in their hands by the several palace servants kneeling in front of her.
The tray is filled with jewelry. When the morning light shines, the pearls and treasures are shining brightly.
Concubine Shu frowned and angrily: "I'm tired of wearing these things. I'll turn around and tell the people from the Jinwei Bureau that I'll give me a good look to me. Oh, the emperor always emphasizes frugality, and I can't ask too much for me, so I just need to use it first." As he said that, he pointed a set of red gold peony's head and face.
The palace people respectfully thought that when the rest of the people retreated, they could only hold the red gold peony head and face and kneel down and walk two steps closer.
Concubine Shu took a golden tassel hairpin and gestured twice in the mirror. Out of the corner of her eyes, she saw Liuli, the grand palace maid beside her, walking behind her, with an expression of wanting to speak but stopping.
Concubine Shu asked, "What's wrong? Just say anything."
Liuli hurriedly saluted and said respectfully: "Greeting back to the queen, I just heard some news outside, but I was not very sure, so I dare not reply to you rashly."
"What is mother-in-law doing and what is it? Tell me."
"Yes." Liuli didn't dare to hide it anymore, so she whispered a few words in the ear of Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu said in surprise: "Take it seriously? Did anyone really see it?"
"Yes, someone really saw it. It was said that the eldest prince's concubine ordered someone to bring in something in early in the morning." Liuli frowned, "I just don't know if the eldest prince's concubine will do this violation of the palace rules."
Concubine Shu sneered, "She is the most uncontrollable person. If she says she can do such a thing, I believe it. But she is so good, what is she doing when she asks people to buy incense, candles and paper money? She is not afraid of bad luck."
"I don't know this servant," Liuli didn't know why, and didn't dare to make random guesses when she didn't know the details. She just told Concubine Shu what she knew. "I just heard that she seemed to be tribute to someone. She wanted to find a secluded corner of the palace to do it when it was late at night."
"Yes." Concubine Shu chuckled, "I know this, you've done a good job."
"Thank you for your praise, Empress." Liuli bowed and then went to the side.
Concubine Shu was facing the beauty mirror, looking at herself with delicate makeup in the mirror but her face was unable to hide her aging attitude, and she felt unhappy.
Seeing her, she suddenly frowned and looked very unhappy. The palace people couldn't help but feel silent.
When night fell, the sky was a little gloomy, and it was obvious that there was a snow. Concubine Shu had just used supper, but refused to rest. Instead, she ordered someone to prepare a shoulder pad and said with a smile: "I am going out for a walk now, so it's easy to take a look and see what it looks like outside."
"Yes." The palace people did not dare to ask about Concubine Shu's purpose, so they only followed the instructions to prepare the shoulder pier.
Concubine Shu went out, put on a warm hat and fox fur, and then she remembered: "Is Madam Cen's colder better?"
"Greeting back, Madam Cen said early this morning that she didn't sleep well last night," Liuli replied, "I looked at Madam Cen's face, and I think the situation has not improved."
Concubine Shu nodded and said, "Then let her be well raised. Maybe she has just arrived in Huaijing and is not very suitable for the winter here."
"It's better for the Empress to be polite to the servants." The palace people all sighed. After all, Madam Cen was the one who got the most eyes of Concubine Shu. If she was someone else, she would be sick for many days. Concubine Shu would probably be impatient. How could she be the turn to explain what her condition was?
The servants did not know what Concubine Shu was going to do, so they just followed the instructions to lift their shoulders and circled around the palace.
Concubine Shu recalled the terrain of the palace and thought that if Chu Junlan wanted to destroy the palace rules and burn incense, candles and paper money, she would definitely choose a remote place. The palace was relatively remote at night, so the only one was the Imperial Garden.
After all, in the winter, who would come to the imperial garden to get frozen in the dark?
After making up his mind, Concubine Shu turned to instruct: "Go to the Imperial Garden and go around."
"Yes." The palace people agreed.
After walking for a while, the eunuchs carrying their shoulders were even exhausted. Concubine Shu didn't give her a rest, so they could only persist in panting.
After finally walking around for a few times, they arrived at the southwest of the Imperial Garden. The group passed by a rockery rock and suddenly found that there was a clear extinction of fire coming from behind the rockery rock, and the air was filled with the smell of incense, candles, paper money.
Concubine Shu was delighted and immediately raised her hand to signal the sedan chair to fall.
The palace servant carefully put down his shoulders, and Concubine Shu immediately rushed towards the fire.
"What a bold bitch, do you know why the palace rules are? You dare to burn paper money in the imperial garden, don't you live!" Seeing the figure squatting on the ground burning paper from afar, Concubine Shu screamed.
Although Emperor Jing Hong told her that she would make her the queen and the sixth prince as the crown prince, she felt uneasy in her heart. Chu Junlan should have died long ago, but after returning to the palace, she became the eldest prince's concubine, which really made her feel frustrated.
The young Chu Junlan is now with her child and is reluctant to leave Zhongcui Palace easily. Learning the rules is just close to Yufei, which makes her unable to find an excuse even if she wants to find a reason to deal with her.
Now that she has caught such an opportunity, how could she let it go?
Therefore, before she could get close, Concubine Shu had already pulled her neck and shouted, as if she was afraid that others would not hear it.
Unexpectedly, the person who was concentrating on burning paper and was still muttering, heard a sudden scream, and almost threw himself into the fire.
Before Concubine Shu could see who the other party was, she threw herself into her head and grabbed the other party's hair: "Bitch, what else do you have to say!"
But when he lowered his head and met a familiar old face, Concubine Shu was suddenly stunned: "Madam Cen?"
"Empress?" Madam Cen said in panic, "How did you come here?"
She was begging Ye Zhuangyuan to receive the money, but she wanted to bless her not to be discovered, but Concubine Shu came in the blink of an eye, and she couldn't help but curse Ye Zhuangyuan in her heart.
Concubine Shu also screamed: "You dare to ask me? Tell me, what's going on? Aren't you sick? Besides, I got the news that someone violated the palace rules in the middle of the night, and I came to get people, why did you actually get them here?"
To catch Chu Junlan's mistake, but who expected that he did not catch Chu Junlan when he came here, but he grabbed the people around him.
In order to make Chu Junlan’s mistakes public, Concubine Shu brought many people to her. Now not everyone knows that she wants to get someone, but she has gotten the mistakes of the people in her palace?
When Madam Cen heard Concubine Shu's words, her heart skipped a beat: "Someone went to your place to complain? Yes, yes..." After suppressing her confusion, Madam Cen hurriedly whispered, "Madam Cen, I have something to say to you in private."
