Comprehensive film and television: Extreme reversal and inevitable death
Chapter 66: Jinzhong was strangled to death 4
When the cock crows three times, the ghosts retreat.
Early the next morning, screams were heard one after another in the Forbidden City, each one sounded extremely frightened and terrified.
Hongli had just woken up, rubbing his aching forehead. Before he could rejoice that the cold and humiliation he suffered last night was just a nightmare, he saw Li Yu suddenly running in in panic.
Then there was a series of screams outside.
Without caring to scold Li Yu for not knowing the rules, Hongli suddenly felt a strong sense of uneasiness in his heart, and he asked hurriedly:
"What on earth happened? Why is it so chaotic outside?!"
Then, Li Yu, with a pale face, knelt on the ground and tremblingly reported to him a very, very bad news.
More than a dozen people died in the palace last night, including palace maids, eunuchs, and a concubine who Hongli was not very familiar with.
The one with the highest rank among them is Concubine Ying.
"What did you say!"
Upon hearing this, Hongli's heart suddenly tightened. His mind was full of [Concubine Ying died suddenly, and how he should face the anger of the forty-nine Mongolian tribes]. For a moment, he didn't even think about what happened in the snowy field last night.
"The palace servant who came to report said that Concubine Ying died in strange circumstances. She had many wounds on her body for no apparent reason. She died from a large cut on her chest. All the blood had already drained out..."
The more Li Yu talked, the more frightened he became. As Jinzhong's good master, he was also one of the targets that Jinzhong wanted to take revenge on. Of course, he was also dragged into the den of evil last night.
It's just that he was lucky, like Hongli, and didn't meet anyone else the whole night.
"...Except for Concubine Ying, the rest of the deceased died in different ways...Your Majesty...Such a big thing happened in the palace, why don't we...should we summon a shaman?"
I was originally skeptical about the murder written on the note, but now dozens of lives were lost overnight. It doesn't seem like something a living person would do!
Moreover, although they have returned to the Forbidden City now, who knows when they will be dragged into that terrible snowfield again!
Judging from the evil posture behind the scenes, it is obvious that he will never give up until every one of the Forbidden City residents is wiped out!
Therefore, for the sake of his own life, Li Yu gritted his teeth and bravely put forward his suggestion.
Upon hearing this, Hongli's eyes widened immediately. He looked Li Yu up and down, feeling shocked and scared. Could it be that everything that happened last night was not just a nightmare?
"Li Yu, tell me the truth, were you also dragged into the snowy plain by the ghosts last night?"
Li Yu kowtowed quickly. He did not expect that even an emperor like Hongli, who was said to be blessed by dragon energy, would be approached by ghosts. So he immediately trembled and honestly confessed everything he had experienced last night.
The initial weapon he got was the ruby bracelet that he had replaced before, and the place where he woke up was on a frozen lake.
Li Yu did nothing last night. He lay on the ice almost the entire night and dared not move, for fear that the thin layer of ice under his body would suddenly crack.
It was really tragic. When Hongli heard about Li Yu's experience, he suddenly felt deflated. Although he didn't find the embroidery needle, he suddenly felt that at least his luck was pretty good.
At least it was an embroidery needle that could be used to prick people!
Thinking of this, Hongli regretted even more why he was so impulsive last night and threw away the embroidery needle.
……
With such a big incident happening in the palace, it was impossible to keep it secret completely, so Hongli could only rush to see Concubine Ying first.
Of course, he didn't have the courage to personally check out Concubine Ying's horrific corpse. He just watched the eunuchs and palace maids busying around with trepidation. Smelling the strong smell of blood, Hongli's legs were shaking so much that they almost turned into two soft noodles!
Afterwards, in order to appease the people's hearts, Hongli immediately summoned the shamans into the palace. He required the shamans to perform the rituals for 9981 days!
It’s best if it’s useful. If it’s useless, huh!
At worst, we can all end the game together!
After issuing the decree, Hongli, who was unwilling to give up, summoned all the concubines in the harem to go to the Empress Dowager's Cining Palace. He had to find out whether any of his concubines had killed someone last night.
Concubine Ying died so tragically, he was really afraid that he would be the next to die.
Moreover, he thought about it carefully and believed that anyone who dared to attack Concubine Ying must be in a high position.
You see, most of those who died last night were palace maids and eunuchs of comparable status, as well as lowly concubines.
This means that even if someone has murderous intentions, due to the long-term baptism of imperial power, as long as they are not in desperate situations, they still dare not attack those who are higher in status than themselves!
However, although Hongli’s plan was good, who would dare to stand up and admit that he was the murderer of Concubine Ying?
Empress Dowager Zhen Huan, who was sitting at the top with Hongli, pressed her brows wearily.
She hadn't had a good time last night either.
Zhen Huan's initial weapon was a dry and broken cat's claw.
Looking back on her eventful life, she did find that it had a lot to do with cats.
She encountered cats during the palace selection, encountered cats during her first pregnancy, and after returning to the Forbidden City as an abandoned concubine, she still encountered a group of wild cats!
Therefore, Zhen Huan has always been afraid of and disgusted with animals like cats.
However, once she entered the snowfield, no matter how much she disliked it, she could only hold on to the cat's paw tightly.
Who made her wake up with the ghost of the late emperor following her with blood coming out of all seven orifices? If Zhen Huan loosens her cat claws for a moment, the ghost of the late emperor will pounce on her and devour her flesh and blood!
In this way, Zhen Huan had been dealing with the spirit of the late emperor all night, not daring to relax for a moment.
When she woke up this morning, she still felt headache and fatigue. Even though so many people died in the palace, she didn't care.
——At least it’s okay as long as it’s not her who dies.
Hongli's eyes wandered among his concubines, and saw that everyone's face looked bad, but they were all perfect. He really couldn't tell who killed someone, so he could only step back and ask them what weapons they had obtained and whether they had met anyone last night.
At this time, Wei Yanwan, who had the highest position, was directly named by Hongli.
In fact, compared to others, Wei Yanwan had the best start.
The initial weapons assigned to her were a dagger and the golden hairpin that inexplicably followed her into the snowfield.
Compared with Hongli who even lost his embroidery needle, this is simply a perfect start!
Moreover, when she woke up, she was in a small wooden house and had hardly ever experienced the cold.
In this regard, Chi Yining, who was watching the fight in hiding on the side, said: It's so funny, some people keep saying that they won't be soft-hearted, but in the end they can't bear to let their loved ones suffer even a little bit!
Jinzhong said: Don't worry, I have my own rhythm, hum. ╭(╯^╰)╮
However, like Hai Lan, Wei Yanwan also chose to take the initiative after careful consideration.
She wants to live, really wants to live!
And, you must survive to the end!
Unlike others who were at a loss, Wei Yanwan was certain that it was Jinzhong's doing.
But she wasn't sure if Jinzhong would choose to take her life himself as he said, rather than watch her die at the hands of others.
Wei Yanwan didn't dare to gamble.
Therefore, she had to take advantage of the first night, when most people were still confused about the situation, to accumulate more resources so that she could survive!
