Because of Hua Manman, when Hua Qingqing came to visit Hua Manman for the second time, Li Ji began to pay attention to the people around Hua Qingqing.
He has the ability to read minds, and he can hear other people's true thoughts just by looking into their eyes.
With little effort, he noticed Jin Zhi's abnormality.
Li Ji didn't care about Hua Qingqing's life or death, but Hua Qingqing often came to see Hua Manman. Li Ji didn't want Hua Manman to be implicated again because of Hua Qingqing, so he privately ordered someone to keep an eye on Jin Zhi.
Once she has any changes, the people under her will immediately notify him.
time passed day by day,
The wound on Hua Manman's back gradually healed and scabbed.
After she recovered, she began to massage King Zhao's legs every day to help him recover as soon as possible.
Li Zhaoyuan's leg injury has also healed a lot. She can finally get out of bed and walk, but she can't walk fast, and she needs someone to support her.
The imperial doctor prescribed medicine for her, saying that she had to continue to take care of her slowly.
But Li Zhaoyuan knew very well that it would be difficult for her legs to return to their original state.
What's more terrible is that since the day she was demoted to Zhaoyuan, the emperor has never looked at her again, even if she took the initiative to ask to see him, he was coldly turned away.
She really fell out of favor.
Every time Li Zhaoyuan thinks of the nonsense she said that day, she can't wait to hate her.
Since she hates herself, why can't she control her broken mouth
She hated King Zhao and Hua Manman even more, if it wasn't for the two of them, she wouldn't have fallen to where she is today.
At this moment, the court lady Zhilan walked in quickly carrying a food box, and called Zhaoyuan in a panic.
"The servant just went to the dining room to pick up dinner, and happened to see Wen Zhaorong and Yi Chongyuan chatting on the way.
When the slaves heard them mention your name, they hid quietly and eavesdropped. "
Li Zhaoyuan laughed at herself: "They must be laughing at my situation today."
Zhilan shook her head, her face became more and more ugly: "No, they are suspecting... suspecting you..."
Seeing her stammering, Li Zhaoyuan was a little impatient, and frowned.
"Speak up if you have anything!"
Zhilan said boldly.
"They suspect that the reason why you talk nonsense in front of saints and queens is because you are possessed by evil spirits."
Li Zhaoyuan was stunned.
Zhilan continued to speak while carefully observing the changes in her expression.
"They said that although you are not very smart on weekdays, you are not so stupid that you dare to say anything, unless you are bewitched.
A nanny next to them said that someone in her hometown was once possessed by an evil spirit, and the symptoms she showed were suddenly talking nonsense, as if she had suddenly changed into a different person, very similar to your appearance back then. "
There seemed to be a flash of lightning in Li Zhaoyuan's mind.
She suddenly woke up.
That's right, she is bewitched!
At that time, her mind was clearly clear, but her mouth was out of control.
It was as if an invisible force was manipulating her body, forcing her to speak those nonsense.
Li Zhaoyuan hurriedly asked: "And then? What else did they say?"
Seeing that she was not angry, Zhilan dared to continue.
"The nanny said that under normal circumstances people don't suffer from evil spirits.
Because the human body has its own yang energy, dirty things are afraid of yang energy and dare not approach it.
Especially here is the Yuqing Palace, a rare treasured land of blessings, and there is also the real emperor sitting here, so the people in the palace are even less likely to be bewitched by evil spirits.
Unless... unless someone is behind the scenes and has put a curse on you. "
Li Zhaoyuan's eyes suddenly turned dark.
"It means that I was killed by someone?"
Zhilan nodded: "That's what the nanny said, but after Yi Chongyuan heard it, she reprimanded her for talking nonsense and ordered her not to mention it again, and then they left."
She swallowed her saliva at this point, and asked cautiously.
"Do you think what they say is true?"
Li Zhaoyuan said without hesitation: "Of course it is true!"
Others didn't understand, but she knew it very well. The feeling of being involuntary at that time was really weird.
Only evil spirits can explain it.
Zhilan hesitated and said: "But, but Yichongyuan said that the nanny was talking nonsense."
Li Zhaoyuan snorted coldly: "Yichongyuan just didn't want me to know the truth on purpose. Don't look at her gentle and considerate face. In fact, her thoughts are deeper than anyone else, so I won't be fooled by her!"
Zhilan didn't dare to tell the difference, so she could only follow suit.
"You said so."
Since Li Zhaoyuan knew that she was bewitched, she definitely couldn't sit still.
She must find out the real culprit who cast the curse as soon as possible!
She carefully recalled the process of her bewitching before and after, and found that Hua Manman was the most suspect.
It was only after she drank the tea that Hua Manman handed her that she suddenly became involuntary.
Afterwards the cup of tea was gone, leaving only an empty cup.
It's all too coincidental.
There must be something wrong with that cup of tea.
Li Zhaoyuan suspects that Hua Manman cast a curse on the tea.
But she has no proof.
The sage would not believe her if her words were unsubstantiated.
Li Zhaoyuan thinks that the best way is to search Hua Manman's residence, and she will definitely find evidence of her casting a curse.
But Hua Manman lives with King Zhao.
Li Zhaoyuan didn't dare to offend the evil spirit King Zhao, he had already left an indelible shadow in her heart.
Just when she was racking her brains to think of a solution, Hua Qingqing came to visit Hua Manman again.
Hua Qingqing was still accompanied by many people this time, and Aunt Jin Zhi was among them.
Hua Manman pretended to be impatient.
"Why are you here again?"
Hua Qingqing smiled softly and said, "I specially stewed sour radish and old duck soup, you can try it and see if you like it?"
Aunt Jinzhi put a heavy food box on the table.
She opened the food box and took out a pottery urn, which contained old duck soup.
Hua Manman smelled the tempting fragrance and couldn't help swallowing quietly.
But she still pretended to be dismissive.
"I don't like drinking your soup, take it away."
Hua Qingqing knew that her second younger sister was awkward. With so many people watching, the second younger sister would definitely not want to drink soup.
So Hua Qingqing made an excuse and took everyone out.
as expected.
When Hua Manman was the only one left in the room, she couldn't wait to pick up the bowl and began to gulp down the soup.
Hua Qingqing stood on the porch and waited.
The cicadas on the tree kept singing.
When she thought of her second sister drinking the soup she made, the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up.
At this time, Aunt Jin Zhi suddenly covered her stomach, frowned and said.
"The servant seems to have eaten something bad, and my stomach feels a little uncomfortable. I have to go to the latrine."
Hua Qingqing waved her hand, motioning for her to hurry.
Aunt Jinzhi clutched her stomach and hurried away.
Soon she will be back.
Hua Qingqing asked with concern.
"feel better now?"
Aunt Jin Zhi said relaxedly: "The maidservant is fine now, thank you Jieyu for your concern."
