Xuanyuan Jue

Chapter 181: Concubine Candle Shadow (5)
"Hey," Cui Yugui said, "I've been in the palace for so many years, have there been too many intrigues? This little trick can be seen with a glance. There is a saying that 'the wall falls Everyone smashed the drums and tens of thousands beat ', he Xiao Dezhang did not fall into trouble, I, Cui Yugui, can't thank you enough!"

Ye He sighed softly, and said: "Uncle Cui is so capable, he can be kicked out of the palace. If a stupid girl like me is careless, she will die without a place to die..."

"Oh," Cui Yugui stood up and patted Ye He on the shoulder. "Son, since you call me 'uncle', let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Your errand in Hanyuan Hall is too difficult. When I was young, I also 'served' for Lafayette Passing the emperor, hehe, you are being angry at both ends, there are no people inside and out... leave the palace if you have the chance, you are still young, finding a good family to marry is better than anything else, the palace is not a place for ordinary people to stay in!"

Ye He burst into tears, "To tell you the truth, Uncle Cui, that's what I planned too. I'm always in fear, and I don't know when it will end... Oh, let's not talk about it, Uncle Cui, take care, I have to go back to the palace. "

Cui Yugui glanced outside, "It's still raining outside, why don't you wait before leaving?"

"No," Ye He wiped the corner of his eyes, "I left the palace secretly this time, if I go back late and get stabbed at Lafayette's place, I will have no way out. Uncle Cui, little Ye Zi is a soft-spoken person, help me I can't do you any favors, I can only wish you good luck and a long life."

"Good boy," Cui Yugui said emotionally, "Uncle Cui is enough to take care of you if you have the heart. Let's go, be careful on the road!"

"Yeah." Ye He put on the hat and walked out of the temple gate in the rain.

After seeing off Ye He, Cui Yugui stayed in the hall for more than half a watch, the wind and rain were loud outside, and he sighed in his heart, as if the river was overwhelmed and the sea could not be calmed down for a long time.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning flashed across the night sky, followed by rumbling thunder.Before the thunder stopped, the temple gate outside the hall opened with a "bang".

Cui Yugui was startled, thinking it was Ye Heli who came back, "Little Yezi, is that you? Did someone fall here?"

He yelled several times in a row, but no one answered.

"I'm really confused. Little Yezi has been walking for more than half an hour. I'm afraid I can see the palace gate now... Could it be that the temple gate was blown open by the wind?" Cui Yugui mused to himself, planning to leave the palace and close the gate.But just stepping out of the hall with one foot, a ball of flames burst out of the door suddenly.

The main hall was at least ten feet away from the temple gate, but the fire was so blazing that Cui Yugui felt a little dazzling.Cui Yugui kneaded a few handfuls under his eyes, and looked again, only to see a white candle as thick as a short pestle hanging outside the temple gate, the blazing flame was exactly the candle flame lit on the white candle.

"Who? Who's there?" Cui Yugui asked several times, but the only response was the sound of rain.

"But it's a mischief!" Cui Yugui cursed secretly, and walked down the hall steps.But when the icy rain fell on his head and face, Cui Yugui shivered, and his legs could no longer take half a step.

Such heavy rain can even put out the bonfire, even if the white candle is thicker, there is no reason why it can't be extinguished.What's more, the white candle was not held by anyone, and it was not tied by a rope, it just hung faintly at the door.
Cui Yugui felt chills running down his back, staring fixedly at the strange white candle, and froze in place.

The white candle burned for a while, then suddenly floated to the side.Immediately afterwards, there was a hazy light and mist outside the temple gate, and a vague figure appeared.

The person had a slender waist and was obviously a woman. She was wearing a flag dress, but her hair was not combed. Her long black hair was draped over her forehead, completely covering her head and face.

Another flash of lightning flashed across, and everything in the courtyard was reflected brightly in an instant.Taking advantage of the fleeting lightning, Cui Yugui took a closer look at the woman again.

The woman's flag dress with phoenix and phoenix patterns is clearly the attire of a concubine in the palace, but there are balls of green algae mud hanging on her body and long hair, and she still can't see her original face.

"This terrifying appearance, isn't it a female ghost?" Cui Yugui felt anxious and took two steps back involuntarily. "Hey! Who are you? What do you want to do in this temple?"

The woman didn't answer, but just stood quietly outside the door, the moon was covering the rain, and it was impossible to see if she was there or not.

In the early years, Cui Yugui studied opera in the Nanfu Opera Troupe and acquired good martial arts. After becoming the second director, he never let down his kung fu.As the so-called artist is bold, and he has a straightforward temper, so after repeated questioning failed, Cui Yugui's initial fear gradually turned into sullen anger.

After waiting for a while, Cui Yugui finally couldn't restrain himself, jumped back into the hall with a few steps, and pulled the Qinglong Yanyue Saber from the hand of Emperor Guan.

Although the statue of Emperor Guan is made of wood, bone and mud, the weapon it holds is a real long knife.With the saber in his hand, Cui Yugui suddenly gained confidence, he pointed his halberd and glared at the woman, and shouted to the woman: "Ms. Wu, whether you are a demon or a ghost, I don't need to worry about you! Hey, you want to find someone to take the place of the dead ghost?" Stop thinking about it as soon as possible! Although the surnamed Cui is a perfect eunuch, he is also an upright man! For half his life, he will neither steal nor rob, nor deceive nor cheat. For the ancestors of the Cui family, I, Cui, should not blame others for wronging me..."

Before she finished speaking, the woman sneered, raised her wrist lightly, and several silver lights pierced through the rain curtain and shot straight into the hall.

Cui Yugui was shocked, and hastily blocked with his sword.There was a crackling sound on the body of the knife, and a few round pearls fell down.

With a "bang", the long knife fell to the ground.Trembling, Cui Yugui picked up a pearl, and asked the woman tremblingly, "Could it be... are you the concubine Zhen?!"
