Quick wear: cannon fodder is a bit strong

The maidservant's tears rolled down her cheeks.

She is only nineteen years old this year, and she has a fiancé in her hometown who has been engaged since childhood. He is waiting for her to turn 25 so that she can leave the palace and get married.

She still wants to live.

Xu Liangdi waited until she had vented her anger enough before sending the maid away.

She pulled up the quilt and fell into a deep sleep accompanied by the strong aroma of incense in the room. Suddenly, in her dream, Xu Liangdi felt as if someone was pulling her quilt.

Xu Liangdi impatiently snatched the quilt back.

But before she could fall asleep again, the quilt was pulled away again. Xu Liangdi was so angry that she opened her eyes suddenly: Which lowly bastard dared to disturb her sweet dream.

Isn't she in a bad mood today? Looks like she's being too generous to them!

But the bedside was empty, and there was no personal maid standing next to it.

Looking around, all I saw was a small gray hand beside the bed.

The little hand seemed very timid, creeping up quietly and pulling back her quilt bit by bit. Then a cold little body crawled into her bed.

"Mrs. Liangdi, I'm cold. I want to come in and sleep with you~"

A little boy's voice said innocently in her bed.

"Ahhhhh, get out of here~"

It turned out to be the little guys who had bled her during the day. Xu Liangdi was extremely annoyed and kicked them:

"How dare you, such a lowly thing as you, share the same bed with this concubine?"

However, the boy was not kicked out by her. Instead, he continued to climb up along the quilt. Finally, his pale little face appeared in front of her:

"Mrs. Liangdi, I'm cold~"

Xu Liangdi suddenly felt something was wrong. The bed was not just cold, but bone-chillingly cold.

How could a living person have such a temperature? And how did this little guy get through the layers of guards and run to her bedroom?

"Someone, someone, come!"

Xu Liangdi turned over and tried to sit up. She called out to the palace guards who were on night watch. However, the room was completely silent and no one responded.

"You daring maidservants! I only scolded you gently, yet you all dared to leave your post. Tomorrow I will have you all sent to the Ministry of Punishment to be beaten with a stick!"

Xu Liangdi cursed loudly.

Suddenly, she felt something shaking under the quilt. The temperature inside the quilt became even lower, making it impossible for her to stay there any longer.

She pulled back the quilt covering her body, and the sight before her frightened her so much that she screamed loudly:

"Ahhhhhhh ghost, there's a ghost, there's a ghost~"

The quilt was packed with pale children, each covered in blood, staining her bed red.

"Someone, someone, someone, someone come quickly!"

Xu Liangdi was so frightened that her scalp was tingling. She screamed for help and struggled to get out of bed. However, the children would never let her escape.

One by one, some pulled at their clothes, some pulled at their sleeves.

"Don't go, Madam Liangdi. I like you very much. Let's play games together, hehe~"

A boy with a chubby face hugged her neck with a smile.

Xu Liangdi paused in her struggle.

She recognized him; this was the first little boy to die after she took his blood. It was clear that the little boy had liked her in the beginning.

They said she was so beautiful, dressed nicely, and smelled good, like a fairy from heaven.

When he heard that they wanted to use his blood to have a baby, he bravely said that he was not afraid and told Xu Liangdi to go ahead and do it.

Xu Liangdi wanted to give birth to a little boy as chubby as him.

I took some more that night.

Then the little boy's face became paler and paler, and soon his breathing became weak. He was carried out and buried the next day.

Now, why is he here?

"Ahhhhhhh ghost, ghost~"

Xu Liangdi screamed even louder.

She realized belatedly: Could it be that all these boys lying on her bed were boys who died from having their blood drawn?

But how could it be?

Didn't that stinky old Taoist promise her that he would help them attain salvation and would never let their spirits disturb her wealth?

There will be no karma that will backfire on her future children.

"Don't worry, madam."

"If the queen is pregnant, the child she gives birth to will be a dragon son or grandson, and she will be blessed with sufficient dragon energy. Why would she be afraid of these little wandering spirits?"

The old Taoist said this to her with certainty as he swung his whisk.

She believed the evil of that evil Taoist.

Look, look at what's in this room right now, what is all this?!

"You damned Chen Shan, you stinking Taoist priest, get out here, get out! Otherwise, I'll have the Crown Prince abolish your position as Imperial Master tomorrow!"

Sitting on the armchair in the room, Qu Xiaoxiao was leisurely savoring the fine tea from the Eastern Palace and the freshly made snacks from the imperial kitchen.

Well, the treatment here at Xu Liangdi is really good.

The tea is this year's new tea, and its quality is top-notch; the snacks are also unique, fresh and delicious.

At this moment, she heard Xu Liangdi, who was immersed in the illusion, calling out the Taoist's name, and her eyes narrowed involuntarily.

Chen Shan, right? She remembered it.

It was probably the Taoist priest who had given Xu Liangdi such bad advice. She would have to look for him later. If he was also in the palace today, she would be able to catch him all at once.

Xiaoli was sitting on the chair next to her, cracking melon seeds with his two little paws in a serious manner.

From time to time, he would take a sip of tea and a bite of dessert. His cheeks were stuffed full, sometimes bulging, and he looked so cute. Who would have thought that at this moment, this cute little thing was creating a terrifying illusion for Xu Liangdi?

But Xu Liangdi shouted for a long time, but no one responded.

The boys' actions on her became more and more outrageous.

Some people tickled the soles of her feet; some pulled out the gold hairpins on her head and poked her eyes; some held her head and shook it hard; and some pinched her neck with their cold little hands.

Xu Liangdi felt her neck was being strangled, making it hard for her to breathe. The hairpins pricked her eyes, causing them to sting. She kicked with all her might, trying to push the little ghosts off the bed.

However, the real body could not move at all.

"You, are you a human or a ghost? Why are you going with me?"

Despite her suspicions, Xu Liangdi couldn't help but ask the question she wanted most. People are like that; if the obvious answer isn't spoken directly, they can pretend they don't know it.

"Hehe, Lady Liangdi, of course we are ghosts. We are all little ghosts killed by you..."

The little boy with a round face said with a smile:

"It's freezing down there, and it's lonely and boring. Lady Liangdi, please come down and stay with us."

"Come down, come down, Madam Liangdi, come down..."

The group of children laughed and chattered together. They pulled harder and pulled at her hair and hands and feet.

"No, no, no, I'm not going to die. You deserve to die. What does it have to do with me?!"

After confirming that these were ghosts, Xu Liangdi was extremely scared and decided to go all out, cursing loudly:

"You bastards born of these lowly slaves want to drag me down with you to be buried. Are you worthy?"

"Just wait! Tomorrow I'll have the Imperial Master perform a ritual to send you all to the Eighteen Levels of Hell, where you'll never be able to escape rebirth!"
