Strange Tales of the Ghosts

There were so many puzzling things about Princess Changping that Li Wenyu had no choice but to take out the book again and started to read it. After half an hour, he thoughtfully handed the pages to Xuehu and Xiao In front of the parrot.

"Look here, it is written in the ninth biography of "History of the Ming Dynasty" that in the 16th year of Changping Gongfang, the emperor selected Zhou Xianshang as the master. They were about to get married, but the bandit police suspended it. The city fell. The emperor entered Shouning Palace. The master held the emperor's clothes and cried. , The emperor said, why did you give birth to my family? He cut off her left arm with a sword, and cut off Princess Zhaoren in Zhaoren Palace. Five days later, Lord Changping revived. In the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, he wrote a letter saying that nine of his concubines died..." Li Wenyu stammered and couldn't continue.

Xiao Ying asked hurriedly: "Just keep talking."

"I want to say..." Li Wenyu looked at Xiaoying and replied in a low voice: "I don't know these two words, what about Gaotian, what about King Kong..."

Xuehu smiled and explained: "This is about when Princess Changping was sixteen years old. The emperor chose Lang Shixian, surnamed Zhou, as Princess Changping's husband. When the wedding was about to happen, it was stopped due to the war. After the fall of the imperial capital, the emperor entered Shouning Palace intending to kill Changping. After hearing Changping's bitter cry, the emperor sighed, why did you want to be born into an emperor's family? After saying this, the emperor cut off Princess Changning's neck with his sword. The left arm, and then the emperor killed Princess Zhaoren in Zhaoren Palace, but five days later, Princess Changping came back to life..."

"Wait a minute, do you think this emperor is sick? Did he kill his own daughter? He wasn't his biological son, right?" Li Wenyu really couldn't understand what Emperor Chongzhen did. In his opinion, the destruction of the country was already miserable enough. It would be terrible to have the whole family die.

Xuehu didn't think like Li Wenyu, and replied: "This is not the emperor's cruelty. Think about it, the country is dead and the city has fallen. Even if he doesn't kill these relatives, will the rebels let the royal family go? He did this because he didn’t want his relatives to be insulted.”

"You're talking about being like that queen, who was snatched away by the golden man, and then did that and that..." Although Li Wenyu was romantic, he didn't have the courage to say that kind of thing openly in front of Xuehu and Xiaoying. .

Xiaoying shook his head, looked at Xuehu and Li Wenyu in confusion, and asked, "What riddles are you playing?"

"You kid, you don't need to know." Li Wenyu smiled and looked at Xiaoying, who sometimes looked like an underage middle school student.

Xuehu smiled slightly, and Li Wenyu suddenly asked: "Is what this book says the same as what Princess Changping said?"

"It's been so long that I've forgotten a little, but it's roughly the same. Her lover's name is indeed Zhou Shixian, I'm sure of this." Xuehu was also moved by the love between Princess Changping and Zhou Shixian at first, otherwise she wouldn't have helped Princess Changping.

Li Wenyu took the book, looked at what was written on it, and continued: "But the book says that Princess Changping died of illness, and she died at a very old age. It also said that she was buried at Guangning Gate. "

"This is unbelievable." Xuehu shook his head.

Li Wenyu hurriedly asked: "Why?"

"When I met Princess Changping, she looked no more than thirty years old. Except for a broken arm, she had no illness." Xuehu clearly remembered Princess Changping's appearance back then.

"Then how did she die? Did the emperor of the Qing Dynasty give her to..." Li Wenyu made a beheading gesture.

Xuehu said hurriedly: "She didn't mention this at all, and I didn't ask."

"Then it's probably not."

"Why did Mr. Li say that?"

"Think about it. After the emperor of the Qing Dynasty entered the country and wanted to rule the Han people, blind killing was not enough. He had to use some means to win over people's hearts, such as giving rewards to princesses who could not rise to power after the country was ruined and the family was destroyed. Well, there are other things, that’s why the Qing Dynasty was so stable." Li Wenyu expressed his opinion.

The little parrot clapped his hands and applauded: "That's right. I didn't expect you to know so much."

"I'm just kidding, I've never eaten pork and I've seen pigs run away." Li Wenyu chuckled, but he didn't want to say the rest of it, because these are what he saw from those boring TV dramas, and the dramas produced in mainland China are generally somewhat reliable. , anyway, unofficial history plus official history equals the past, or so he thinks.

Xiaoying nodded, somewhat confused: "Sister Xuehu, you said Princess Changping had her arm cut off by her father first, and what happened next? What happened to her after she survived? Why did she die? And what happened? , why didn’t she reincarnate after she died, and why did she go to the other side to seek medical treatment, and for whom?” This series of questions left Xuehu speechless, and Li Wenyu flipped through the book for a long time but couldn’t find the result.

Xuehu looked at the Emperor's Flower in the pot and suddenly thought of it. He looked at Xiaoying and said, "Xiaoying, do you think Princess Changping is seeking medical treatment for Zhou Shixian?"

"I don't remember either, I guess I wasn't there at the time..." Xiaoying counted on her fingers and replied: "I should not be here, otherwise I should have an impression, but you, Sister Xuehu, don't even know who she was seeking medical treatment for? "

"Well, at that time, sir, I heard that she was Princess Changping, so I refused without even meeting her." Xuehu replied softly.

"Why do you refuse, sir?"

"Sir may have his own reasons. If he doesn't tell me, I don't know either." Xuehu shook his head.

Li Wenyu couldn't find the answer in the book, so he had to think about it by himself. After a long time, he said: "I remembered it. It seemed to be played in a certain TV series. I forgot who played it. Anyway, she was a beauty. , it’s about Princess Changping and Zhou Shixian. I heard people say their love is quite touching.”

Xuehu and Xiaoying looked at Li Wenyu blankly. They were not as knowledgeable about TV dramas as Li Wenyu. Xiaoying had only recently learned how to use a TV. At this time, Li Wenyu himself felt that the three of them had no idea what they were discussing. .

Except for three people in the living room

Breathing, without any sound, fell into silence...

About an hour later, Xuehu looked at Li Wenyu and whispered: "By the way, Mr. Li, there is something I almost forgot to tell you."

"What's up?"

"When I found you and your classmate on the top floor, Princess Changping was right behind you."

Li Wenyu was a little scared after hearing this: "No way, Zhenzhen and I have been calling her for so long, but she didn't show up. Why is she hiding behind me?"

"I saw...she wanted to push you down..." Xuehu hesitated, but this was what she saw with her own eyes. She forgot to ask Princess Changping at first, but now she remembered that something was wrong.

Li Wenyu's face turned pale and he smiled awkwardly: "Fortunately...fortunately you came early, otherwise..."

"I reminded you." Xuehu frowned.

"Well, sometimes it's hard to restrain people's curiosity. You didn't say what was going on at the beginning, so of course I wanted to find out on my own." Li Wenyu expressed his inner thoughts, if Xuehu hadn't stopped him , he would not be so bold and go to the attic despite Zhenzhen’s objections. He wanted Princess Changping to save Zhenzhen, and she was so kind to Zhenzhen, so she shouldn’t harm others, so he was relieved, but he didn’t expect that he would be relieved. Behind his back, a pair of black hands appeared, and he was more than scared when he thought about it.

Xiaoying was a little confused and looked at Xuehu: "Sister Xuehu, didn't you say that you helped Changping Gongfang because she was a kind person? Then why did she want to harm the person named Li?"

"Hey, little beauty, can you respect me? I have a name. My name is Li Wenyu. Don't always call me 'the last name is Li, the last name is Li'. It's very awkward." Li Wenyu looked at the little parrot innocently.

Xiao Ying rolled her eyes at Li Wenyu and retorted: "You have a name, don't I have a name? You haven't called me my name yet!"

"Okay then, let me call you Xiaoying Boss? What do you want to call me?"

Xiaoying nodded and continued to look at Xuehu: "Okay, Sister Xuehu, why did Princess Changping want to harm Li Wenyu?"

"I don't know." Xuehu shook his head.

Li Wenyu touched his face and said narcissistically: "Is it because I am too handsome? Her lover is as handsome as me, but he abandoned her, so she wants to kill me when she sees such a handsome guy like me? "

"I really just discovered, hello..." Xiaoying didn't know how to describe Li Wenyu.

Li Wenyutian laughed shamelessly: "You also find that I am so handsome, right?"

"Humph!" Xiaoying turned her head away from Li Wenyu, because as soon as she saw Li Wenyu's expression, she wanted to beat him up.

Xuehu remembered what Mr. Wangchuan had just told him using the sound transmission technique, and hurriedly said: "Sir, he said that Princess Changping has lost her previous memory. What is the secret in this..."

"I think if we continue to guess like this, there is still no way to know the reason. We have to find holes to dig carrots. Why don't I ask Zhenzhen." Li Wenyu suggested.

Xuehu nodded and agreed with Li Wenyu's idea: "I think it is feasible, then I will seal Princess Changping away during this period."

"Sister Xuehu, I have a good idea." Xiaoying smiled evilly, looked at Li Wenyu and said, "We might as well put the Emperor's Flower in Li Wenyu's room and try it out to see if she will show off. "

Li Wenyu was sweating when he heard this proposal. That Princess Changping wanted to kill her on the top floor, and even put Princess Changping in her room. Didn't she want her to die in an ugly way? Of course he firmly opposed it: "No, that would be too dangerous."

"With me here, what's the danger?" Xiaoying raised her head proudly. She was Mr. Wangchuan's maid, and ordinary souls were nothing to her.

But Li Wenyu didn't think so, and replied with a sneer: "As long as you are here, I feel there is a problem." He knew very well that if Xiaoying wanted to mess with him, even if he didn't die, he would be very frightened.

After thinking about it for a while, Xuehu felt that Xiaoying's suggestion was not bad, so he advised: "Mr. Li, what Xiaoying said is not unreasonable. Princess Changping is willing to show up to save your classmate, but she wants to attack alone. You must have a reason why you are not as good as us..."

"Beautiful lady, why don't you and Xiaoying let me go? I'm also very busy. I need to find out about the demon baby, and I also need to find Zhenzhen to find out what's going on with this emperor's daughter. How can I be separated from you? Body?" Li Wenyu cried with a sad face.

Xiao Ying smiled and said, "It's okay. I'll put her in your room and won't delay your work."

"But this will affect my rest!"

"What's the point of having a good influence? You can sleep in your own bed, as long as we watch over you!"

"Beauty Parrot, if it were you and I put a time bomb in your room, would you be able to sleep?"

"What is a time bomb?"

"..." Li Wenyu didn't know how to communicate with Xiaoying.
