This palace is from Maoshan

Chapter 28
There was something wrong with the situation.

At this moment, the hour of the second strikes.

Not knowing if it was an illusion, Jiang Yao looked at the bottom of the well, and the bright moon in the sky turned out to be a blood-red reflection at the bottom of the well.

This is an ominous sign.

She suddenly felt that something might happen in the mansion tonight, and then a scream broke through the tranquility of the midnight.

Mu Guhong frowned: "Go and see!"

He didn't think it was haunted!
I just felt that something was wrong in the house.

Jiang Yao hurriedly walked ahead, but what was strange was that everyone in the house seemed to be asleep at this time.

No one seemed to hear the scream.

Jiang Yao, Mu Guhong and Eunuch Li walked all the way without meeting anyone.

"Your mansion is really kind to your servants. Everyone says that Duke Zhen is clean and honest. Seeing him now, he really deserves his reputation. There are no guards in the mansion at night!"

What Mu Guhong said was ironic.

Instead, they came to the backyard of Jiang Mansion. At this time, above the mourning hall, the candles flickered on and off, and the white cloth fluttered in the wind, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.

"Who has an accident in the house?" Mu Guhong hadn't received the news before, looking at the decoration of the mourning hall, it should be a more important person in the house.

But no one came to tell him, Mu Guhong was secretly annoyed at the shadow guard's dereliction of duty.

"My second uncle's son, Brother Yi..." Jiang Yao stepped forward.

At this time, it was discovered that the inner and outer coffins of the mourning hall had been opened, and there was nothing inside, and the coffin lid was casually discarded aside.

"How could this be? Could it be that someone stole the corpse?" Mu Guhong was a little surprised.

At this time, there was movement behind the coffin.

Eunuch Li trembled a little.

Pointing in that direction, he said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty...there!"

He didn't dare to take a step forward, instead he hid behind Jiang Yao Mu Guhong.

Mu Guhong felt a little ashamed, he carried a sword with him.

Pulling out the sword, the light of the sword was chilling, and when she was about to poke it out, Jiang Yao took a step forward and opened the curtain.

A slightly tall and robust maidservant in her early thirties was revealed.

Her whole body was shaking violently, and she was wet under her feet, accompanied by a strong smell, which was actually urine.

Eunuch Li covered his nose, worried that Mu Guhong might have something to do, and presented him with a brocade handkerchief.

At this time Jiang Yao asked: "What's your name? Why are you here alone? Where did Brother Yi go?"

When Jiang Yao asked other questions, the maid didn't have any expression on her face.

Only when talking about brother Yi, she couldn't hide her panic.

"Run away, crawl out of the coffin and run away..."

The dead can also run away. 0 Eunuch Li is not well.

"Your Majesty, let's go! Jiang, the Jiang family can't wait!"

People who work in the palace actually have some superstitions.

Because in the imperial palaces of all dynasties, there are always dead people, some are because of the harem's favor, some are harmed by shady means, and some people above are not pleasing to the eye and deal with them at will.

There is a well in the harem, and people are lost every year. That place is close to the cold palace. I heard from the old eunuch that every night, there are people whimpering and crying there.

None of them dared to cross that road at night.

At this time, he couldn't help thinking about it, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and the more afraid he was, the more he hoped that Mu Guhong would leave early.
