Heroine’s Road to Becoming Scum: The third bowl of soup (1)
Opening her eyes again, Qing Huan realized that she had returned to the Naihe Bridge.
The man who was sitting beside the blue stone and seemed to be one with the stone remained silent, as if he could not see her at all. Now Qing Huan has also learned to let go of her superfluous curiosity. She slowly walks onto the bridge. The female ghost Hongluan is looking at the Karma Stone. On it, her eldest son will eventually become a famous minister, a sweet wife and a son, and a lifetime of glory. The youngest son is a world-famous royal businessman, and the two brothers live in harmony and love, and they are all dead.
Qing Huan walked to the wooden table and scooped up a bowl of clear soup. The soup became cloudy the moment he was scooped up, and then became clear again in an instant, so fast that people almost thought he was dazzled.
"...What is this?" the female ghost Hongluan asked.
Qing Huan smiled slightly, "This is your life's tears, your emotions and desires, great sorrow and joy."
The female ghost Hongluan took the soup and drank it slowly. The taste in the mouth was extremely strange, and it was impossible to tell whether it was sweet or salty. Qing Huan looked at her lightly and said, "Let's move forward."
The female ghost Hongluan hesitated for a moment, then Fang asked, "Is the world over there good?"
"I don't know." Qing Huan replied. "But when you cross this bridge, you get a new life."
So the female ghost Hongluan gently gave her a blessing: "Thank you girl, please tell me your name?"
Qing Huan tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "The name, whether it exists or not, is not that important. Even if I tell you, you won't remember it."
The female ghost Hongluan withdrew her expression and turned her head three times and walked towards the other side of Naihe Bridge. The ghosts in the Wangchuan River slowly subsided, the river surface returned to calm and calm, and Qing Huan sat at the table, seeming to talk to himself or to someone: "The past has passed, and the future is still the future, It is useless to think too much.”
At this moment, there were bursts of crying in the distance. The voice was delicate and clear, but it was extremely sad. The ghosts who had just calmed down began to go crazy again. They poured out of the water one after another, with their festering eyes wide open, their rancid mouths wide open, and their arms separated from flesh and bones stretched out, staring at each other. A new ghost walking across the bridge.
It was a woman whose face was invisible. The clothes on her body were withered and rotten, and there were even cobwebs on her head, thinking that she had suffered a lot in her lifetime. At this moment, she was looking around in horror. Even if she couldn't see the ghosts on the river, she still felt extreme fear.
Qing Huan said softly, "Who are you and why are you here?"
The soup in the pot began to slowly boil again, turbid, clear, and tormented by the grievances of thousands of ghosts. The female ghost seems to feel the kindness of Qinghuan, but it seems that she is still full of vigilance towards Qinghuan. Beautiful and noble women in the world, their hearts are extremely vicious, she must be careful, be careful...
Seeing the appearance of the female ghost, Qing Huan frowned. She was wearing a white dress. Looking at the surface of the water, although he didn't have a real body, he had an alluring appearance and elegant temperament. Even if there was softness and kindness in his eyes, it would inevitably make people feel uncomfortable - especially for the extremely vulnerable new ghosts.
It's too easy to be wary. In such a dark and gloomy place, there is a woman like her who is out of tune with the environment. No wonder this new ghost looks like she's seen a ghost, ahem, isn't she just a ghost?
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you, my name is Qinghuan, how about you?"
Under the comfort of Qinghuan, the female ghost finally calmed down. She glanced at Qinghuan timidly and said slowly, "I...my name is Zhu Cai."
"Where are you from?"
"I..." The female ghost Zhu Cai showed a blank expression. "I just remember that I was so cold... Someone threw me into the dry well of the cold palace, I was so cold, I was so hurt! I desperately begged for mercy, but she just wouldn't let me go, I, I didn't mean it, That night, I didn't mean to seduce the emperor... I didn't, I didn't! Goddess! Goddess spare your life! Goddess spare your life!" As soon as she finished speaking, she changed her timid appearance and became extremely cold, "I'm not even a ghost. I'll let you go! I want revenge! I want revenge!"
Qing Huan quietly watched her go mad. She picked up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of tea, took a sip, and sighed in her heart, "Do I want to live like this forever? That girl never came out again, This woman named Zhu Cai can't tell right from wrong..."
At this moment, the Karma Stone suddenly lit up. Qing Huan looked at it with a consonant heart, and instantly knew about the female ghost Zhu Cai's life.
It turned out that this Zhu Cai was an ordinary palace maid in the Great Wei Palace. Although she was born quite beautiful, in the beautiful palace, it was really not enough to see. Since Emperor Jingheng of the Great Wei ascended the throne, although there were quite a few in the three palaces and six courtyards, he never had any luck with any woman. No one knows why. The highest status in the harem is Concubine Ke Shu. Concubine Ke Shu has a world-renowned appearance and has been known as a talented girl since she was a child. She is especially good at dancing, and has several poems handed down from time to time. However, she is jealous by nature. Although Emperor Jingheng never came to the concubines, she was jealous. , If Emperor Jingheng said two more words to a certain concubine, she would try her best to make the other party suffer. If the other party is an ordinary palace maid or a low-ranking talented person, she will be silenced directly.
Zhu Cai died because of this.
Envoys from neighboring countries came to pay tribute. After the night banquet, Concubine Ke Shu secretly gave Emperor Jingheng a love potion. She originally wanted to achieve a good thing, but in the end, not only did she fail to do so, but she made Zhu Cai, a low-level palace maid, cheaper! How can Concubine Ke Shu not be angry! On the second day, Zhu Cai was ordered to fill Zhu Cai with Bizi soup, and then he was beaten to death with a stick, and the body was thrown into the dry well in the cold palace at will. Zhu Cai's soul was trapped in it. When Emperor Jingheng asked about this later, Concubine Ke Shu did not change her face, saying that the palace maid had no luck and died of a sudden illness. This is how it was revealed.
This Zhu Cai was just a little palace maid in this life, but she was a monk with great merit in the previous life. Qing Huan looked at the Karma Stone and was in a trance when she saw the female ghost Zhu Cai regained her sanity, she said: " She has been ranked as the fourth concubine, so what if she spared my life? Now that she has killed me in vain, I can't let her go no matter what!"
However, people with great merit will not turn into ghosts after death. Therefore, even if Zhu Cai wanted to take revenge, there was nothing he could do.
Qing Huan glanced at her and asked, "Do you hate Concubine Ke Shu and Emperor Jing Heng?"
"I don't blame the emperor." said the female ghost Zhu Cai. "He's the emperor. You have to be pampered who has his freedom. What's more, the emperor is just cold-hearted, but he never kills innocent people. What I hate is the inhuman Concubine Ke Shu! People don't know how many people are, but she still covers the sky with one hand! When the emperor asked about this, she actually wanted to hide the sky and cross the sea, full of absurd statements!" After speaking, the female ghost Zhu Cai showed a look of hatred. "I want her to be rewarded! I want her to lose everything she has! The emperor's favor, the world's praise, the prestigious family background... I want her to lose! Lose!"
She opened her teeth and danced her claws excitedly, and the ghosts in the Wangchuan River seemed to be stimulated as well. Qinghuan was so irritable that she turned her beautiful eyes, and the ghosts in the river were so frightened that they all fell silent! Just when Qing Huan was wondering why, she changed the scene with a flash in front of her eyes and left Naihe Bridge.
Wait a minute... She hasn't had time to read about Emperor Jingheng on the Karma Stone.
However, compared to that, the most important thing is that there seems to be something wrong with her current body? ! Qing Huan stretched out her hands and looked at them in astonishment. These little hands are worthy of the name. At this age, at most... they are five years old, right?
In this case, no matter how beautiful and charming she is, she can't compete for favor!
But where is this place? It was gray, and it didn't look like a magnificent palace at all.
While Qinghuan was wondering, a woman wearing a female official's costume ran over. Seeing her here, she first breathed a sigh of relief, then said angrily, "You child! How can you be so disobedient! You can come here too! The place?! Hurry up, hurry up and go with Auntie!"
Qing Huan was forced to be dragged away by her. I don't know why this woman was so terrified. There...isn't it a rockery entrance? What's so good about all the fuss? ! Even though she thought so in her heart, she still looked good on her face.
The female officer took her into the room, pointed her nose and said, "Remember what Auntie said, you must not run around in the palace, especially in the cold palace, understand? As for the rockery, you are more concerned about it. It is impossible to approach, there are evil spirits in it, and they specially eat a white and tender little girl like you!"
Qing Huan made a worried and fearful expression, and the female official saw this and showed a satisfied look: "Qing Huan, will you be here waiting for my aunt?"
…Qing Huan? !
Qing Huan was stunned. Why, isn't she attached to the female ghost Zhu Cai's body? How could it be your own name? !
Seeing that she didn't speak, the female officer thought she was frightened, and immediately coaxed her a few words with love and pity, and then left in a hurry. Qing Huan was sitting on the bed. She didn't quite understand what was going on. She thought that in the world of the female ghost Hongluan, it would be amazing if she gained the ability to manipulate people's hearts, but in the world of the female ghost Zhu Cai , she is full of confusion!
It's just that, compared with the world of the female ghost Qiqi, she is stable enough to accept this fact immediately and find ways to make her situation more favorable.
The rockery just now... Qing Huan has very bad memories of the rockery, but in her memory, there is a dungeon under the rockery in the benefactor's mansion. Maybe she should try her luck there? The most important thing is that, like the bowl of bird's nest soup that moved hands and feet, she just felt that she should go there for a walk.
Qing Huan is a very active person. She jumped out of bed immediately, but she was too small and the bed was too high, and almost fell a dog.
