Chapter 36 Bibo Garden is haunted

Sixth Prince's Mansion, Bibo Garden

"Master, I heard that the Second Prince has been going to Jiaofang Palace to pay his respects every day these days, and the Queen has summoned Mrs. Xinguo several times. Please tell me..."

Qingqing actively delivers the latest news to her master.

Lin Ximeng didn't seem to care. She was eating red bean spring rolls and reaching for the plate of fried shrimp tails.

"Who does the queen summon, and what does it have to do with me?"

Qingqing was a little anxious: "It doesn't matter, but you should always care about my master, our master's situation..."

"I think my situation is more dire"

She clapped her palms, stood up, washed her hands, and picked a clean handkerchief to dry them.

"Have you not seen that the way Zhao Liangdi looked at me recently was so hot that she wanted to eat me?"

"Didn't I just follow her to a flower-viewing party? As for her, I'm just a concubine."

She pursed her lips with disdain.

If a good lady doesn't win over her master and win her favor, why are you always staring at her?

"I can't pamper her on behalf of my master."

Qingqing: "..."

"Yes, Zhao Liangdi has been a little unkind to the master recently."

She immediately recalled her experience of serving meals in the past few days, and even the little brats in the dining room dared to look at her.

"Not only is he bad, but he is also holding something bad at first sight." Lin Ximeng sat on the rocking chair in front of the porch to bask in the sun.

She bought this rocking chair from outside for sixty-two or three yuan. It was made of wisteria wood and had patterns carved on it. It was large and strong. She could lay down on it with a fine white and soft goose down blanket. It was amazing.

.

"What should we do?"

"Cold salad, who cares?"

Lin Ximeng had closed her eyes.

Qingqing didn't want to disturb her anymore, so she went into the house and took a blanket to cover her, and leaned on the corridor to study needlework.

Lin Ximeng was really right.

Something was wrong in Bibo Garden that night.

In the past, when it was still dark, Dagui would bring lanterns and light them. They were all in the yard, on the porch, and in front of the house.

It's completely dark tonight, but it's still a waste of time.

Fortunately, Qingqing ordered the food in the room and brought the food. Lin Ximeng sat at the table and ate, not feeling anything.

It wasn't until she wanted to take a walk in the yard after dinner that she realized that the lights hadn't been lit yet.

"Where's Dagui?"

"Master, the slave is here"

Dagui Maliaoer ran over and bent his back, the light in the room shone through the window on his face, and the tips of his cheeks and nose were dripping with sweat.

"What's wrong? You're so hot before the beginning of summer?"

"Master", Dagui wiped his sweat.

"For some reason, the lanterns in our yard just can't be lit tonight. I have tried hundreds of times and can't light any of them."

"Is there such a thing?" Lin Ximeng turned her head and looked into the room.

"Isn't it on? It's normal inside the house, but it can't light up outside? Don't accidentally get it wet."

"impossible"

Dagui said categorically: "They are all dry, and the candle is made of mutton oil mixed with rosin. Even if it is slightly wet, it will never fail to light."

While he was talking, a sudden gust of wind blew and all the lights in the room were extinguished, as if several people had been ordered to blow out the candles in front of them at the same time.

But……

Lin Ximeng looked at Qingqing behind him, Dagui in front of him, and Zijing who was still fetching water and sweeping the floor not far away.

There are only three of them in Bibo Garden, and there is no one else.

The doors and windows are closed, and the wind cannot blow in, but why do the candles in the room go out at the same time?!!

The moon is not shining tonight, and it is so dark at the end of the month that it is so dark that you can’t even see your fingers.

"I'll go in and take a look first. You guys will keep watch outside and continue to order."

Lin Ximeng opened the door to enter the house, but was suddenly stopped by Dagui.

"Master...Master, please don't go in."

His teeth were chattering like a shiver in the freezing cold.

"Say... maybe there is something, let... let the slave go in first..."

"What?" Lin Ximeng was confused.

"What could be in my room? Why are you so scared..."

Before he finished speaking, Zijing screamed.

The little girl jumped up as if she was possessed, screamed and said something incomprehensible, and suddenly ran wildly in the yard. Finally, she got under the stone table and hid, still mumbling to herself.

Lin Ximeng walked closer and bent down to listen carefully.

"Don't come to me, it's not me, it's none of my business..."

"Ghost...Ghost"

"There is a ghost"

"Miss Zhou, Miss Zhou is here."

She muttered like a monk chanting sutras.

Lin Ximeng straightened up, his expression serious.

"Miss Zhou?"

It seemed that something was indeed wrong. She turned around and looked at Dagui and Qingqing.

"Are you two hiding something from me?"

Dagui lowered his head like an eggplant beaten by frost.

Qingqing looked around and didn't dare to look at her.

Finally, Qingqing spoke.

"Master, there have been rumors of hauntings in the house recently. It is said that the Zhou family is so violent that they are seeking their lives."

"Looking for me?" Lin Ximeng gently raised her lips.

Qingqing was silent again, obviously she guessed correctly.

Lin Ximeng suddenly chuckled, pushed the three of them away and strode towards the house.

"That's good. If she really dares to come here, I would also like to ask: I have no enmity with her, so why did she poison me with such poisonous medicine that I almost died?"

"The so-called debt repayment is a matter of course. She owes me a life, so she deserves to die."

"Master!" Qingqing suddenly knelt in front of her and stopped her.

"I know that you are reasonable, Master, but after all, the deceased is the most important. She died so miserably. If something happens, wouldn't you suffer a loss?"

"My master is not in the house, and the negative energy here is too strong to suppress her. I'm really afraid."

Qingqing's voice was filled with tears.

Lin Ximeng's expression became even more serious. She had never seen Qingqing so frightened.

From the beginning, Qingqing was like a well-trained female official, even if she was brought into the palace, she would not have stage fright.

On weekdays, he is treated politely and generously when going around the house, as if he is never afraid.

"Stop talking. Even if she comes back, she should go to Zhao Liangdi first. It has nothing to do with me."

"master"

Qingqing straightened up and looked around, then whispered in Lin Ximeng's ear.

"Zhao Liangdi buried her with her own hands. She said that she also burned a lot of incense, candles, paper bundles and gold and silver ingots. Zhou's resentment towards her has disappeared, and she will only come to you."

Lin Ximeng: "..."

The ancients were probably like this, with gods and Buddhas kneeling down to the demons and heaven and earth.

Even the emperor believed this.

How difficult it is to make a girl who is illiterate and unable to read not believe in ghosts and gods.

Her expression softened: "So what should I do now?"

"Master, please wait. I have a copper coin amulet on my body. My mother went to the temple to ask for it before entering the palace. Although it is not valuable, I have worn it for several years. It is very effective. I will wear it for you first."

Dagui took out a small copper plate from his lapel and wrapped it in circles with red silk. The color was already a little dim, but the auspicious inscriptions on it could be vaguely seen clearly.

Qingqing is mysterious.

"Master, I've thought about it. Let's change rooms tonight, and tomorrow morning I'll ask someone to bring some talismans to drive away bad luck."

Lin Ximeng: "..."

So, they are using the stupidest method to protect her?
