Chapter 376: Ghosts
Chapter 376 There is a ghost
Su Ying shook her head slowly as she heard this, "Maybe he didn't expect that the Empress Dowager would end her own."
She felt that the Empress Dowager's appearance and the Ma Wang's actions should be discussed. "Is there a possibility that he wanted the Empress Dowager to blame you after killing the Emperor, but he didn't expect the Empress Dowager to hang himself."
"You're right."
"What would you do if the Queen Mother hadn't hanged herself?"
A dark look flashed in Xiao Jin's black eyes, "Then help her hang herself."
The Empress Dowager not only resented the Supreme Emperor, she resented all royal family members. Xiao Jin had no feelings for this so-called grandmother. Even when he was bullied as a child, she only regarded it as not seeing it.
For such a person, when he becomes his enemy, how can he have a psychological burden?
But whether it is Emperor Kangze or Empress Dowager, their era will eventually end with their fall.
After eating, Su Ying saw that the two children were burned with incense and their eyes were red, so she asked them to rest in the side hall, leaving Wang Su to guard him, and he followed Xiao Jin back to the mourning hall.
On the other hand, Concubine De and Xiao Li were both sent back to Concubine De's palace.
The imperial guards put them in the room. The moment they closed the door, Concubine De climbed up from the ground and slapped the door hard, "Open the door, open the door, open the door for me quickly. Can't the prince want to kill someone to silence me!"
But no matter how she shouted, there was no response outside.
After Concubine De was sure that there was no one outside, the angry expression on her face gradually fell, and she completely lost her hideous and angry look just now. She turned around and returned to the chair to sit down.
"This Xiao Jin is really hateful. It would be fine if he killed his father and grandmother. Now he locked us up. I think he clearly wanted to wait until the limelight passed and then solve us!"
"He won't."
Xiao Li looked at Concubine De in surprise and couldn't help but wonder, "How did the mother conclude that Xiao Jin would not do this? Didn't you say he was going to kill all of us?"
Concubine De glanced at him, "That's why the mother asked you to go to such a mess today. If something happens to us in the future, this matter will naturally be counted on Xiao Jin's head. As a new emperor who ascended the throne, will he dare to recite such doubts and infamy?"
Xiao Li suddenly realized, "Mother's meaning is, did you deliberately let me go to the mourning hall to cause trouble?"
Concubine De nodded, "That's right, your grandfather said that in such a fight, Xiao Jin would not dare to touch us any longer."
Xiao Li has always listened to Concubine De, but he felt that this matter was a bit uneasy.
"Looking back, your grandfather will come to the court to ask Xiao Jin to give you a fief. As long as you get a fief, you will immediately take your mother away. The emperor is far away. Who can do what you can do to you?"
Xiao Li nodded skeptically, but for some reason, he always felt that things would not go so smoothly.
Night falls.
The darkness enveloped the entire palace, making the white banners hanging in the palace look particularly gloomy.
Xiao Jin, Su Ying and some concubines from Emperor Kang Ze's harem were still standing in front of the spirit.
The ministers who came to the palace to bow to the temple could only guard the side hall outside the mourning hall.
The sound of "bang" sounded, and it was already the beginning of the day.
Xiao Jin asked the concubines to go down and rest first, and asked another group to come and kneel down.
"If you are tired, go and have a rest."
Xiao Jin looked at Su Ying and saw her kneeling on the cushion with her eyes lowered and looked up and thought she was too sad and unenergized.
But when he got closer to Xiao Jin, he found that Su Ying was actually asleep.
But as soon as he approached her, he woke up instantly.
Su Ying looked at him sideways, "What's wrong?" Although her eyes were bright, she could still see a trace of fatigue in her eyes when she looked closely.
Xiao Jin's eyes brought a hint of heartache, "Go to the side palace with the palace maids to take a break."
Su Ying yawned, "I have been sleeping for a while just now. I'll go there when I'm almost done. You go see the child."
Xiao Jin nodded when he heard this, and then he realized that the palace maid brought Su Ying tea to him before getting up to the side hall.
Wang Su had been guarding outside the side hall. Seeing Xiao Jin coming, he opened the door and let him in.
After confirming that the two children were sleeping soundly, Xiao Jin walked out of the house.
"Crown Prince, King Jiangning has arrived." The eunuch quickly stepped in front of Xiao Jin to report.
King Jiangning was the half-brother of Emperor Kangze. He was appointed as the queen and did not go to the fiefdom, but stayed in the capital as a free prince.
As the King of Jiangning, he was about to arrive early in the morning, but for some reason he came hurriedly at this hour.
"Where are people?"
"I've entered the palace."
Xiao Jin nodded when he heard this and stood up to greet him. This is the etiquette he should have for his elders.
As soon as Xiao Jin left, Su Ying took the paper money and threw it into the brazier in boredom.
The flame instantly swallowed the thin paper money.
At this moment, a gust of cold wind suddenly passed by, passing through the mourning hall and rushing straight into the backbone, causing goose bumps all over the body.
Su Ying shuddered and straightened her waist, looked outside the door, and saw the white banners flying outside the door, and the yin energy was lingering.
The concubines kneeling in the inner hall were instantly dissipated by the cold wind, which scared them all to wake up.
"Bang"
A sudden knock came from the coffin.
"ah!"
The concubines were so scared that they screamed.
Su Ying's eyebrows pounded and stood up from the cushion.
The concubines curled up in fear and looked around in horror.
The cold wind was getting stronger and stronger, and a chill rushed to the sky.
"Bang"
There was a noise in the coffin again, and some concubines were frightened and cried.
Su Ying stared at the direction of Emperor Kang Ze’s coffin and confirmed that the movement was coming from there.
She slowly walked to the coffin and waited.
"Bang!"
When the third sound rang out, Su Ying pushed the coffin board away.
"ah!"
The concubines rushed out in fear.
Su Ying stood by the side expressionlessly, looking at Emperor Kang Ze who seemed to be asleep in the coffin, and did not notice anything abnormal.
She waited for a while, but no sound came out again after getting the abnormal sound.
Just as she was about to cover the coffin lid, the sound came again.
But this time, the sound came from the empress dowager's coffin next to her.
The imperial guards and eunuchs guarding outside the door surrounded the mourning hall when they heard the movement, and they didn't dare to go in.
Su Ying pursed her lips, then walked to the empress dowager's coffin, and lifted the lid of the coffin.
The Queen Mother lay quietly inside without any abnormalities.
Su Ying quickly glanced around the empress dowager's body before looking at the person outside the door.
"What are you afraid of? Just two dead people."
Su Ying turned around, with her back facing the coffin. When she was about to let the imperial guards come in and cover the coffin board, she saw a look of horror on their faces.
"Ah, ah! Yes, there are ghosts, there are ghosts!"
"Help, there's a ghost!"
Su Ying frowned slightly, turned her head slowly, and saw Emperor Kang Ze and the Empress Dowager sitting up straight from the coffin.
