The witch opened her eyes slightly, but she didn't look excited at all. She said that the hole was not a hole, but just a cloudy white, which seemed to be made of stone.
"Remember. But witchcraft, while harming people, may also cause backlash. Have you thought about the harm?" The witch's old and distant voice seemed to come from the ground.
Zi Yan thought about it, but didn't take it seriously. As long as Rong Chang'an can be cursed to death, there is no fear of backlash.
"The woman I want to curse is ruthless and has hurt me many times. If I don't curse her to death, the backlash against me will be even greater."
The witch smiled slightly, and the smile marks on her face were as dry as old bark, "Since you already know, I won't say more. Have you brought the other party's small things?"
Ziyan took out a Jade Guanyin from her pocket and handed it to the witch: "This is that bitch's."
This Jade Guanyin was found by Ziyan from Chuntao, and it was definitely given to her by Rong Changan.
The witch looked at the Jade Avalokitesvara, it was very pure, exquisite and beautiful, not like the ones that ordinary rich people can buy, "Okay, you put the silver on the altar, and I will cast a spell for you!"
Zi Yan clapped her hands, and the maid took out an ingot of gold from a willow basket and put it on the altar. Squinting at the gold, the witch smiled.
She stood up and took out a peach puppet from a sewing basket. The two braids on the head of the puppet symbolized women.
The witch put the puppet on the altar, and put the mutton fat jade Guanyin next to the puppet, "What is the name of that person, and what is his birth date?"
Zi Yan took out a note, on which was written Rong Changan's name and birth date: "Female fairy, my opponent's birth date is all on this piece of paper."
The witch took a look, and her eyes flashed with surprise: "That person is called Rong Chang'an?"
Zi Yan didn't understand why the witch was so surprised: "Can't my opponent be called Rong Chang'an?"
The witch lowered her eyes and pondered for a while: "But Rong Changan who is fighting against the rebels outside now?"
Ziyan heard something strange from the witch's words, so she smiled cryptically: "In the world, the only general who protects the country can be called Rong Chang'an? You don't have to panic, the person I want to curse is not Rong Chang'an who is at war, But someone else."
The witch's sharp eyes glanced at Zi Yan's pink and sly face, and she nodded: "Okay then!"
The witch took out a pen and paper, wrote Rong Changan's name and horoscope, nailed it to the puppet's forehead with an embroidery needle, and placed it next to the jade Guanyin on the altar.
The witch knelt on the futon, picked up a paper sword, and made movements that Zi Yan couldn't understand, while chanting words.
After a while, the witch burned a piece of paper money, then picked up the puppet, put it in a lacquered wooden box, and handed it to Zi Yan.
"Now the puppet is connected to that person's breath, how you want to curse her, you can read the curse I wrote to you; how you want to torture her, take the puppet as her."
Ziyan happily took the box, thanked the witch, and went back to her palace.
She closed the door, impatiently took out the puppet in the box, looked at it, touched it, flicked it again with her fingers, and suddenly let out a nervous laugh.
"Rong Chang'an, this is the first time I have grasped your destiny so closely! As long as I gently poke a needle in your heart, you will have angina; You will be shot by arrows on the battlefield. If I pierce your forehead with a needle, you will die on the battlefield! Hahaha, I have never been so happy. If you dare to be rude to me again in the future, I will It will make your life worse than death!"
Zi Yan ordered a maidservant to dig a small hole under the small pavilion in her palace and bury the puppet. According to the witch's wishes, as long as he cursed once sooner or later, Rong Chang'an would die a terrible death!
"Except for the emperor asking, you must not tell anyone, whoever tells it, I will cut her tongue!" Zi Yan warned the maid beside her.
In a good mood, Zi Yan walked around the palace at random, and was walking to the lotus pond, but saw a person wearing a fanyang felt lily and carrying a bag, walking away in a hurry, as if there was something urgent.
Zi Yan was afraid that the news about Fengming Palace would spread, so she stopped the person: "Who are you, people in the palace don't dress like this?"
The man was taken aback, saw that it was the imperial concubine Ziyan, and quickly knelt down: "The imperial concubine is a thousand years old!"
Zi Yan walked up to him, and saw that he was wearing silk shoes, with white cloth strips wrapped around his calves, and the cloth strips were tied at the mouth of his trousers, he seemed to be a person who was going on a long journey.
"I asked you something, you answer quickly!"
The man saw that he couldn't hide it, so he said: "The young one is Mrs. Liu's caring person, who came back to report to the emperor the every move of Empress Rong and Prime Minister Yan. Just now I thought that Ziyan Guifei belonged to Empress Rong, and I was a little surprised."
When Ziyan heard Liu Yiming's name, she smiled: "So it's Liu Yushi's man, how is he doing outside?"
The man said: "Lord Liu Yushi is very good, don't worry about your concubine. If there is nothing else, the younger one will go out of the city."
"wait!"
Zi Yan stopped the man, and took out a gold plaque from her belly pocket, "Give this plaque to Master Liu, and tell him that if he wants to see me in the future, he can come to my palace with this gold plaque."
The man didn't know why Zi Yan handed the sign to him, so he had to accept it, and then left in a hurry, walking through the back door of the palace.
Looking at that person's back, the corners of Zi Yan Zhu Hong's mouth evoked a smug smile.
Now that Li Hai is besieged on all sides and in danger, there are fewer and fewer people he can get along with, so Zi Yan has to make plans for himself. If one day, Li Hai is really overthrown and killed by Rong Changan or Pan Meichen, she still has Liu Yiming to rely on.
"It's not that I'm unfaithful to you. I hope the emperor will forgive me if I have no choice but to punish the world for myself!"
Zi Yan muttered in her stomach and snorted, maybe even she herself admired her intelligence, so she couldn't help laughing out loud.
Apart from the person she met just now, Ziyan didn't see any other concubines in the imperial garden, so she asked the servants around her.
The slave said: "The other concubines have gone to the temple outside the palace to burn incense and make wishes."
"What holiday is it today? Why did they go together?" There are more than 3,000 beauties in the entire palace, do they all go to worship Buddha and burn incense? Zi Yan felt very puzzled.
The servant girl replied: "It's not a festival. It's just that I came to the court to fight against the rebels. The concubines all went to the temple to burn incense and pray for the country's early stability."
Zi Yan was stunned for a moment. All those concubines went, but she didn't know about it alone. If Li Hai heard that she had never prayed and made a wish for the country, what would he think
However, she comforted herself next time: Those people are just doing superficial things, they can't do what I did for Li Hai!
With a cold snort, he sneered at those concubines. Turning back, passing by the Queen Mother's Fengzao Palace. I thought to myself, I haven't seen the Queen Mother for many days. Could it be that she is also burning incense and wishing for the country? Anyway, these days are very boring, why not go in and greet the Queen Mother.
The two imperial guards crossed their spears in front of Zi Yan: "Imperial Concubine, the Emperor has ordered that no one is allowed to enter Fengzao Palace now!"
"Why?" Zi Yan asked unconvinced, "I'm the empress dowager's cousin, maybe the emperor forgot to remind you when he issued the imperial decree to you, that I can travel freely."
The two imperial guards looked at each other, thinking: Concubine Ziyan is the most favored now, if she offends her, it will be a big deal, why not let her in!
Originally Fengzao Palace was guarded by a lot of Imperial Forest Army, but now that Pan Meichen threatened the capital, the Imperial Forest Army went to defend the imperial city. Fengzao Palace also became deserted, and Li Hai only sent two imperial guards here.
