C6 Ghosts Wailing

The woman smiled with satisfaction. Her smile was so pure and pure that all the palace maids standing by the side were stunned. But just like how they knew what this painting was made of, they didn't know if they could be so infatuated with this woman's smile.

"Men, serve him with brush and ink!"

"Yes."

In front of the table, the lady waved her sleeves, waving her ink and ink on the painting. Not long later, her superb technique was revealed. A painting of black ink and white ink appeared on the previously blank painting. The beautiful scenery of the Green Mountains and Rivers was filled with the impressions of the Green Waters.

"Is this one good?" The woman put down her brush and gazed at the palace maids.

"No one in this world doesn't know of the Empress's Painting. But once one's Platinum Kingdom is established, no one can surpass her."

"The Empress's painting is as if it's alive, lifelike!"

"…"

All sorts of praises could be heard. Regardless of whether it was from the bottom of her heart, it was extremely comfortable for a girl to listen to it.

"Men, put it in the most conspicuous place."

"Yes."

Crown Prince's Palace, the crown prince's bedroom.

"Did the side concubine really send them over?" The man at the very top asked. He wore a bright yellow embroidered robe with a four-clawed dragon embroidered on it.

Now that the Platinum Kingdom had changed the emperor and the prime minister had inherited the throne, it was only natural that the crown prince would be his only legitimate son, Shangguan Feng.

Now, everyone was not respectfully addressing him as "His Highness, the Crown Prince", the only successor to the throne. Shangguan Feng could not help but feel that he had never had such a comfortable life before.

"Reporting to Your Highness, it was sent over by the imperial concubine."

Shangguan Feng opened the red cloth and a delicate bone fan appeared in front of him.

As he held it in his hand, he didn't know what it was made of. It felt extremely comfortable to touch, different from all the other bone fans from before. It was cool and warm.

After using the original fan for so long, it was time to change it into a new one. Shangguan Feng immediately had this thought. From now on, this bone fan would become his new pet.

The servant at the side had sharp eyes. Seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince liked this fan so much, he praised it even more without sparing any effort, conveniently praising the imperial concubine's intentions as well.

Shangguan Feng nodded in praise, "Qingguo sure is considerate."

In the past, he was the aloof and exalted imperial princess of Qingguo, the eldest daughter of the Emperor. Even as the direct son of the Prime Minister, he still wanted to meet her courteously. Now that the tides had turned, he became the Crown Prince, and the former princess was fortunate enough to have saved her life to be a secondary concubine. In the past, when she saw Gu Qingguo, she had to bow and call her "Your Highness", but now, she could call her name directly. It was really comfortable.

Fortunately, he still loved Qingguo, so not only did he agree to follow her after the coup, he also accepted her request and gave her the princess. Although she was a fool, it was undeniable that his pride had been greatly satisfied after being so adored by two princesses.

Haha, his charm is indeed great. Of His Majesty's three princesses, one had killed her husband for him, and the other had forced him to open the palace and kill the emperor. The king wouldn't let him go even when he was in the underworld. What a pity, what a pity. He would manage his life for a hundred years! Haha. Prince Shangguan Feng was proud. Gu Qingcheng, who had never seen a drum before, the former Princess Mo Qingcheng, and the current Madame of the State of Guo were also elated.

"I want to change into my most beautiful dancing dress. Hurry up and bring it up."

With the sound of the drum ringing and the graceful dance, the maid beside him began to play the music again. This scene looked so beautiful, it was as if she was dancing for fun.

After the dance ended, Gu Qingcheng walked down from the drum. Immediately, a servant girl crouched down to help her put on her shoes, while someone else came up to wipe the sweat off her forehead. Gu Qingcheng felt extremely satisfied, half-lying on the soft couch and dozing off.

Thinking back on the past few days, Gu Qingcheng was happy as well. Her foresight was great, and she had chosen the right position. Even if the Emperor were to change his ways, she would still be extremely wealthy. In the future, when Eldest Royal Sister became the empress, her status would be even higher, so she wouldn't care about anything else.

"Bring along the South Sea Pearls that others had contributed to me a while ago and give them to the Empress. Help me thank her."

Just as he was about to fall asleep, someone suddenly ran in from outside in panic.

Gu Qingcheng was annoyed by the interruption, but her personal maid beside her had already said, "Why are you running in such a hurry? The sky has not fallen yet, even if it were to fall, it would still be under our wife's protection. What are you afraid of?"

maidservant, who ran in, shivered. Although she was scared, she said, "It's raining outside. Dark clouds cover the sky!"

"Rain? Isn't it normal for it to rain? "Say, what are you shaking for? What's the point of shaking?" Personal Maid reprimanded him again.

"Rumble." The sound of thunder came from outside. It was extremely clear and abnormal. The sound of thunder seemed to have caused an earthquake, as if the Mother of Lightning was doing something right in front of his door.

Gu Qingcheng finally felt that something wasn't right and was ready to go out to take a look. She was escorted by the palace maids towards the main entrance.

Gu Qingcheng was still living in the palace, and her mansion had not been repaired. Gu Qingcheng was still living in the palace, and her mansion had not been repaired, so she did not even care about the place where she lived or died.

As Gu Qingcheng was walking outside, the entire palace was in chaos!

The reason for this was none other than because of the swirling black clouds above the Imperial Palace.

The sky was still clear just a moment ago, but the sky above the palace was as dark as the night. A huge black cloud covered the entire palace, making it impossible to see the light of day.

Lightning flashed, thunder rumbled, and a torrential rain fell. The air was like a cheetah roaring, venting without a care for anyone's position.

"Ah, what's going on?"

Gu Qingcheng panicked. Such a strange weather, she couldn't even see the slightest bit of sunlight. Could there be a demon causing trouble?

He ran to the Crown Prince's Palace in a sorry state. What he saw was everyone looking at the sky in fear.

The Imperial Palace, the place where all the emperors of the previous dynasties lived, had such a strange scene unfold at this moment. A hundred officials were immediately gathered together, preparing to gather in the Imperial Palace.

It was strange. When the officials left, it was still noon in front of their house. When they arrived at the entrance of the palace, there was a strange thunderstorm. It was dark as evening.

Raising his head, he saw that the sky above the palace was shrouded by an enormous black cloud. Within the black cloud, the faint sounds of thunder and lightning could be seen.

The Imperial Palace had always been the place where the True Dragon Son lived. With the protection of the dragon's Qi, even if there were demons and ghosts, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble in the Imperial Palace. Those with experience among the officials recognized that this was a phenomenon from the heavens. Something must have gone wrong, and some of them even suspected that this was the new emperor's disagreement with the heavens. This was a dissatisfaction raised by the heavens.

The people in the imperial court were immediately panic-stricken. As time passed, this rumor became more and more questionable. The people started to spread bad rumors about the new emperor.

At night, before the black clouds had dispersed, a strong wind suddenly blew. Moreover, it was an extraordinarily cold wind, as if it had come from hell.

The sound of a woman's crying could be heard in the wind, scaring everyone in the palace to the point that their faces turned pale and their backs turned cold. They started to run and immediately fell into chaos.

"Ghosts, quickly run!"

"A vengeful spirit is seeking his life!" Quick, escape the palace! "

"Run for your life! If we don't leave the palace, we'll be surrounded by evil spirits!"

"The new emperor is heartless, an ominous omen falls from the sky!"

Everyone in the palace was worried for their own safety. The palace maids and servants were all preparing to leave with their bags, but the entrance was already blocked by the emperor's guards. Seeing each one of them being killed, the palace maids and servants didn't dare to secretly flee in order to preserve their lives.

Three days later, the situation had not changed. No matter how strong the guards were, they could not stop the world from talking. The strange dark clouds above the palace, and the sounds of thunder and lightning inside could not stop the people outside from speculating. In the blink of an eye, internal and external affairs in the imperial court were in disarray. All of them had turned into a pot of porridge.

Within three days, both inside and outside the Imperial Palace, in order to suppress the rebellion, the personal guards of the Emperor resorted to bloody methods to make an example of the rebellion. Within three days, rivers of blood flowed both inside and outside the palace. Countless corpses floated in the air as rivers of blood flowed.

The emperor Shangguan Hong ascended the throne and gathered the officials to discuss countermeasures. Someone suggested that this was done by a demon, asking the Taoist monk to catch the demon and put it down.

The emperor didn't believe it at first, but there was nothing he could do. He could only treat Si Ma as a living horse and put up a notice, ordering the whole country to subdue demons and devils. With such a huge temptation, the entire country was suddenly filled with the feeling of reverence for the Dao.

However, the truth was that in the end, not a single person was able to change this fact. The black cloud above the palace did not disperse for a long time, sometimes it blew fiercely, sometimes it rained heavily, sometimes it flashed with lightning, at night it wailed like ghosts and howled like wolves, the cold wind did not stop.

This continued for 48 days and more than a month.

The court was at a loss of hope. If they couldn't solve this problem, they would build a new palace!

On this forty-eighth day's evening, a Daoist priest came to the door, claiming that he knew the cause and effect and was able to break the siege of the Imperial Palace.

Seeing that the man had accurately described the situation, the emperor finally believed that he would personally receive the Daoist priest, and the crown prince's imperial concubine was also present.

After some inspection, the Daoist Priest saw the bone fan in the Crown Prince's hand and pointed out that it was the culprit! All of this was because Third Princess was extremely resentful, which was why this disaster had occurred.

Gu Qingguo's body went stiff when she heard that the Crown Prince's concubine had left. She knew that she couldn't hide it any longer, so she revealed that the bone fan was made from human bones, as well as the painting of a human skin and the surface of a drum.
