Views:

"Niangniang, concubines really don't know that there are all these messy things in this sachet. If concubines know about it, even if I give concubines a hundred courage, concubines will not dare to bring it to Mingyue Palace."

Concubine Zhang entered the door and saw that His Majesty and the Queen were both there, her knees were more than half soft. When the imperial doctor found out that the sachet was poisonous, she knelt down on the ground in fear, thinking who was framing her? Can her life be saved

God, let the snow fall soon, to prove how wronged this palace is.

It's a pity that God didn't plan to cooperate with her, not only there was no snow, but the wind didn't even blow.

"This... what kind of drunken flower, concubine doesn't even know what it looks like, and how can I know if it is poisonous or not." Zhang Concubine cried very pitifully: "Please the emperor and the queen concubine to see clearly, the concubine will never poison the queen concubine. heart of."

"Okay." Emperor Longfeng was dazed by her cries: "The queen hasn't spoken yet, what are you worried about?"

"Concubine doesn't dare, concubine is wronged." Concubine Zhang sobbed softly, but did not dare to shout again.

"Little Pig, do you see it?" King Chen whispered in Jiuzhu's ear: "This is one of the three methods that the empress and courtiers love to use, the cry method."

"What are the remaining two means?"

"The noisy method and the death-seeking method are sometimes used in combination to achieve their goals."

Jiuzhu looked at Emperor Longfeng with pity, and sighed deeply: "It's really not easy for your father."

The court and harem are all such people, what a miserable life this is.

"Take back your little eyes." King Chen whispered: "If you look further, half of the memorials from the father will be transferred to me."

Jiu Zhu quickly looked away, His Highness was still young, so he couldn't be tortured like His Majesty.

"Your Majesty, Empress, the Fourth Prince and the Fourth Prince's Concubine are here."

Since New Year's Eve, Emperor Longfeng has not seen this son again. He rubbed the teacup in his hand and remained silent.

"Your Majesty." Empress Su smiled: "No matter what happens, the blood will be cut off. Let him pass over the past."

"I have wronged you over the years." Emperor Longfeng didn't want to look calm in front of Empress Su. He held her hand: "What about the blood relationship between father and son? Under the temptation of imperial power, everything becomes insignificant."

"Father, you can't say that." King Chen pointed his head towards him and whispered, "My son, I didn't care about your position."

"Shut up for me." Emperor Longfeng was even more annoyed. He was even more angry if he didn't think about him.

King Chen silently sat back next to Jiuzhu, Jiuzhu patted his arm comfortingly, and whispered, "Don't be sad, Your Highness, Brother Fu is often scolded by the uncle at home, but the uncle cares about Brother Liu very much."

"Alas." King Chen pretended to be sad: "It's my fault that I haven't done well enough."

"Your Highness has done enough."

Empress Su glanced at Jiuzhu and pretended to be a poor son, coughed dryly, and reminded him to stop: "Xuan Fourth Prince and Fourth Daughter-in-law come in."

"Xiang Silk, help Concubine Zhang up, and if you have something to say, sit down and say it slowly."

Yun Yanze walked into the hall and gave a big ceremony: "My son pays respects to the father and the queen, and to the mother."

"Let's all get up, and give them your seats." Seeing that Emperor Longfeng didn't speak, Empress Su smiled at the couple, and after they sat down, they chatted a few times.

Yun Yanze answered them one by one, and each answer was thoughtful and appropriate, and he could not find the slightest flaw.

Empress Su also did not intend to play some kind of mother-son relationship with other princes in front of Emperor Longfeng. After the polite remarks, she said directly: "Today, I invited the fourth prince to come because Zhang Concubine brought it into the sachet of Mingyue Palace, which is full of infatuation. Flowers and maddening drugs."

Yun Yanze's face changed drastically, and he remained calm and said, "My son doesn't know about this matter."

"Because you didn't know, this palace asked you to come here." Empress Su raised her hand, and the imperial doctor brought the tray containing the poisonous sachet in front of him: "Fourth prince, take a look."

It is beautiful when it is in full bloom, but after drying, it is like dead leaves curled up together, and there is no beauty.

Hearing the word "poison", Sun Caiyao looked at Ming Jiuzhu subconsciously.

Being stared at by Sun Caiyao inexplicably, Jiuzhu looked up at her: "Fourth Sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

"It's okay." Sun Caiyao looked back in a panic: "It's nothing."

"Fourth Highness, the euphoria flower can repel mosquitoes, but its stems and leaves are poisonous, and eating too much can cause death. A dried flower like this is not very toxic, but it is mixed with this medicinal powder and worn every day. , in less than a month, can make the wearer go crazy."

When Zhang Concubine heard the imperial doctor's words, she gradually calmed down: "Someone wants to harm me?"

"Don't worry, I have already sent people to search your bedroom, as long as they are suspicious objects, they will be taken away." Empress Su soothed Zhang Concubine's frightened emotions: "Tonight, you will live in the side hall of Mingyue Palace first. "

"Thank you for the great kindness of the Queen Mother!" Zhang Concubine finally understood that the Queen Mother called her here to save her life.

"Mingyue Palace never lives with other concubines, so it's better to let her live in Qingfenglou. If you don't worry, send a few more people to guard it." Emperor Longfeng, who has never spoken, said: "It can't be because she broke the rules."

Concubine Zhang: "..."

Well, she understands, she doesn't deserve it!

"Alright." Empress Su glared at Emperor Longfeng with a smile, then turned to Zhang Concubine and said, "There are no other concubines living in Qingfeng Tower. If you go there, you can live in the main hall, which is better than living in the side hall on this side of the palace."

If you can choose, who doesn't want to live in the side hall of Mingyue Palace

"Thank you for the grace of the Empress." Zhang Concubine did not dare to object.

Soon, the person sent to investigate Zhang Concubine's palace returned.

"Emperor Qi, Empress Empress, Xia Nu and others found two pink long-necked flasks made of cinnabar in Zhang Concubine's bedroom, a box of incense containing incense flower powder, and... and..." The eunuch headed by peeking at Jiuzhu , hesitant to speak.

"And what?" Queen Su realized that it was not good, and her face sank.

"And the witch doll with Princess Chen's birthday written on it." After the eunuch finished speaking, he knelt down: "Please calm down your majesty and empress, please calm down your anger."

The royal families of all dynasties were very taboo against witchcraft. When they found the witchcraft doll under Zhang Concubine's quilt, they almost knelt down in fright.

"Concubine Zhang?!" Anyone could see that Empress Su was angry.

"Niangniang, concubines don't know this." Zhang Concubine shook his head blankly: "Concubines never believed in this stuff."

"Wait." Jiuzhu asked the eunuch, "Where is that witch doll, show it to me."

"Princess, this filthy thing..."

"Bring it to the concubine." King Chen said with a blank expression: "With the father and the emperor here, the dragon energy is lingering, what kind of dirty things dare to come?"

The little eunuch who was waiting outside the hall came in with a tray covered with a red cloth with a slight bulge in the middle.

Jiuzhu lifted the red cloth covering the witch doll, glanced at the doll, and laughed out loud: "What kind of witch doll is this, it can only be regarded as a rag doll. Where did you find the doll in Zhang Concubine's palace? ?"

"Back to the princess, under the quilt made by the concubine Zhang."

"If it's really a witch doll, who would dare to hide it between the bed and quilt." Jiuzhu picked up the silver needle on the doll's body and poked a few times on the doll with her birthday written on it: "The witch doll should be weaved with straw, The name and eight characters of the cursed object with the red rope, it is best to write down the place of origin, which is the most basic operation. This kind of rag doll sewn with cloth is useless. "

This doll is soft and fun to poke.

King Chen looked at the rag doll that was poked, and put down Erlang's legs.

"There are also problems with these silver needles. For witchcraft, it is best to use gold needles to cut off the breath and seal the acupoints." Jiu Zhu picked up the doll and threw it into the tray: "The best The most important thing is that witchcraft methods are completely nonsense, if we can solve all our enemies with one doll, then how can we still have any order in Dacheng?"

After Jiuzhu finished speaking, seeing everyone looking at her, she didn't say a word, and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

"Cough." King Chen glanced at the doll that Jiu Zhu himself poked several times: "How do you know what the witch doll does?"

"What's this?" Jiu Zhu pulled out all the silver needles on the witch doll and placed them neatly one by one: "My two masters are both practitioners, and they have told me a lot of folklore."

"Those who have justice in their hearts will not invade. Even if there are really bulls, ghosts, snakes and gods, they have to give in three points when they encounter the difference between the generals and officials."

Concubine Zhang, who was crying and complaining about her grievances, was silent, tears hanging on her cheeks and being air-dried.

Even Yun Yanze and his wife had a dull expression.

Especially when they saw Ming Jiuzhu holding a needle and poking around on the doll, their expressions were colorful and wonderful.

Ordinary people, who would dare to do such a thing to a doll with his own birth date written on it

Isn't she embarrassed

Sun Caiyao swallowed and looked at Jiuzhu with a little more awe.

"Jiu, Jiuzhu." Empress Su regained her senses and said dryly, "You mean that Concubine Zhang was wronged?"

"Yeah." Jiuzhu nodded: "Concubine Zhang is not a fool, it is impossible to hide the witch doll in such an easy-to-find place, waiting to be exposed."

With the queen's favored status in the harem, Concubine Zhang dared to hide a witch doll in the quilt today, and she would be reported by the palace servants tomorrow.

Concubine Zhang looked at Jiuzhu gratefully, why didn't she help her daughter, let her faceless negative emotions run away, only Wang Fei Chen was observant and careful, and would not wrong a good person.

"Cinnabar is a huge poison, and staying with cinnabar for a long time can easily make people mad." The imperial doctor looked at Zhang Concubine. Who did Zhang Concubine offend and make her go mad so much

"Hard-working imperial doctor." Queen Su nodded: "Go to the side hall to rest for a while."

"Wei Chen retire." The imperial doctor understood that the next content was not what he should listen to.

When the imperial doctor retired, King Chen looked at Yun Yanze lazily: "I wonder if the fourth brother understands this play?"

"This is a conspiracy against my fifth brother and sister." Yun Yanze looked at Jiuzhu: "Someone wants to use Zhang Concubine to provoke me and my brother and sister to fight."

The whole dynasty knew of his enmity with the Ming family. If someone used Zhang Concubine to plot against Ming Jiuzhu, he would be the first person to be suspected.

"Wrong, this king and the princess are one body, so this is a conspiracy against you and us." King Chen emphasized the pronunciation of "men", and Pi Xiaorou said without a smile: "Fourth brother, don't make a mistake."

Yun Yanze smiled: "Fifth brother is right."

Sun Caiyao said: "The fifth brother is right, it is a conspiracy against us and you."

His Highness has nothing to do with Ming Jiuzhu, and should not be mentioned together separately.

Yun Yanze glanced at her sideways and smiled softly.

Concubine Zhang sat silently beside her and did not dare to speak. Since it was a conspiracy against the two princes, why did she pull her into the water

Is she just worthy of being a brainless tool person who deserves to be sacrificed

Does she have no face

Deception is too much!
