Chapter 122: Was Seen (1)
Ye Sui found it strange. Logically, there should be many wronged souls in places like Xia Zhou Palace. Did they all hide?
President Xia broke the silence. “Before coming here, I think you’ve already had a general understanding of the Xia Zhou Dynasty.”
His voice came from the front, accompanied by the flickering lights. It sounded like a loud bell striking at everyone’s hearts.
“All the emperors of the Xia Zhou Dynasty were good at fighting and expanding their territory...” As President Xia explained, the guests felt like they were witnessing the armies of shining spears and armored horses sweeping the land.
The guests remained quiet, not asking questions until President Xia finished the introduction.
They turned a corner and passed through a door sign with three Chinese characters written on it. Looking up, Ye Sui had never seen such writing before.
Cen Yu: “What is this?”
As the question rang out, the next second, something flashed in Ye Sui’s mind. It seemed to be the meaning of the word. She murmured in shock, “Imperial Garden?”
A gust of wind swept across the palace road, and there was a moment of silence.
“You can understand the Xia Zhou Dynasty’s Chinese characters?” President Xia was stunned. “These characters are not easy to comprehend at all.”
Ye Sui smiled. “I just guessed it.” She couldn’t explain why she understood these characters’ meaning, so she just brushed it off.
Of course, everyone believed Ye Sui’s words and continued to walk forward.
After walking around the Xia Zhou Palace for a while, Ye Sui’s eyes flickered, and her heart inexplicably skipped a beat. That familiar feeling had suddenly struck her again.
The paint on the door plaque had worn off, so the words were not clear.
The door was hidden there, and at some point, it was opened by someone. With the yellow glazed tiles, the magnificent structure of the palace was presented before everyone.
Ye Sui subconsciously stopped in her tracks. “Where is this?”
Hearing Ye Sui’s voice, everyone followed suit and didn’t move forward. President Xia lifted up the lantern to illuminate their surroundings. “The east palace of the past.”
There were numerous courtyards in Xia Zhou Dynasty’s palace, and two of them were the residence of the crown prince.
“Yeah, I remember now. It seems that it was written in the book I bought.” Zhao Hui flipped through her bag for a long time and took out the “Ancient Anecdote”.
Zhao Hui turned to that page and handed the book to Cen Yu. He had dubbed horror films before, so the effect would be better when he read it.
Cen Yu’s faint voice sounded eerie. Set off by the quiet night, it became more and more gloomy and ghostly.
“Since the establishment of the Xia Zhou Dynasty, this place has always been the Prince’s East Palace. After the death of one of the crown princes, it was rumored that because he had killed too much, it became haunted.
“Later princes did not live here anymore. The furnishings inside are still the one used by the crown prince back then.”
Ye Sui’s eyes flashed, and she did not speak. The spring breeze passed by, sending a chill down everyone. Somehow, her fingers trembled.
It seemed that there were a thousand words stuck in her throat, but nothing came out.
Cen Yu’s voice stopped as the story ended. Standing at the scene of the supernatural incident, with the legend of hundreds of years ago, the guests couldn’t help but panic.
Jin Gang’s face turned pale. “President Xia, is it true that the East Palace is haunted by ghosts?”
President Xia smiled faintly. But he did not directly answer the question. “If you believe it, there will be. If you don’t, there will be nothing.”
As soon as the voice fell, the guests felt cold. President Xia picked up the lantern and said, “Do you want to visit the East Palace?”
The palace of the Xia Zhou Dynasty was only partially opened to the public, and this East Palace had never been opened before.
The program team and President Xia had discussed opening some courtyards for the audience, and this was one of them. The staff had cleaned up the place, and the lighting of the front hall was also ready.
President Xia opened the door, which let out a creak. They climbed up the stairs and entered the Eastern Palace.
The front hall’s light was on, and the staff was already waiting inside. The cultural relics here were exquisite; obviously, the crown prince had good taste.
