On the same day, the emperor still went to the Yilan Palace. After dinner, someone suddenly came to report that the precious concubine's sons and daughters suddenly felt unwell, and asked the emperor to come and take a look.
According to the routine, there are two choices at this time. One is that the emperor said he was sick, why didn't he go to the imperial doctor? I don't know medical skills; secondly, after the emperor went, the precious concubine sold a miserable meal, which reminded him of the old love, and woke up from the charm of the "fox spirit".
Facts have proved that Precious Concubine really wanted to follow the routine, but the emperor did not give her a chance, and the sprinkler asked, "How do you take care of the children? If you can't raise them, don't raise them. I will take them to the Yilan Palace. Yan Xiuyi is the best. I like kids."
Guo Huizhu was completely stunned, thinking that she had used a powerful weapon and finally robbed the emperor from the fox spirit, but the emperor was so unfeeling.
After a long time, she said heartbroken: "Your Majesty, you were not like this before..."
The emperor was even more distressed than she was, "You were not like this before. When the little princess was born weak, you were afraid that she would get sick, so you took care of her without sleep, and couldn't sleep for less than three hours a day for half a year. But now she The body is healed, but you made her sick..."
Guo Huizhu took a breath. She didn't know what happened in the past. Could it be that it's broken? He hurriedly defended: "The concubine thought that the little princess was well, maybe she was negligent..."
Before she finished speaking, she stopped suddenly, seeing the strange expressions of the emperor and the only maid in the room, which made her even more uneasy, as if she had said something wrong again
Guo Huizhu has no idea what to do? Explanation, it may be revealed. If you don't explain, the emperor is afraid that she will have a bigger opinion on her. She really hates that she didn't ask more about Guo Huizhen's relationship with the emperor that day, and she fell into such a passive situation.
The emperor gave her a cold look, turned and left.
"Your Majesty!" Guo Huizhu shouted anxiously. Seeing the Emperor paused, she turned around and said to her, "I remember that there is a younger sister in your family who has a marriage contract with the abolished prince?"
Guo Huizhu suddenly changed color.
"I heard that she hasn't promised anyone yet. How about I suggest marriage for her?"
A bunch of messy thoughts flashed through Guo Huizhu's mind, and she finally pretended to be sad: "Thank you, the emperor, for your concern, but my sister, she, she has an incurable disease. A letter from home said that she has gone."
Emperor: "Oh? Although the crown prince is abolished, she almost became a royal daughter-in-law after all. Why didn't Luohou report this kind of thing?"
"Because, because..." Guo Huizhu really couldn't find a reason, so she could only kneel down and admit her mistake, but the emperor ignored him and left her with a cold back.
Guo Huizhu knelt alone for a while, and the maid stepped forward to help her. She still stared at the direction the emperor was leaving, and asked coldly, "Why did you look at me like that just now?"
The palace maid was stunned for a moment, and her expression was slightly nervous. In fact, she always felt that the empress had changed a lot, but it was impossible to think that someone could change her appearance and directly replace the noble concubine of a country, just as the empress was suffering from a strange disease. After all, some people have suddenly forgotten many things in the past, and even their temperament has changed.
She didn't dare to say it too straightforwardly, and he faltered and said, "Have you forgotten your maiden? Princess, she has always been in good health, but the prince..."
Guo Huizhu sat down, thinking about the emperor's attitude towards her in recent days, and what she said just now, she had reason to suspect that the emperor knew something, so she was suddenly ruthless to her, and deliberately tested her, otherwise why would the princess and the prince be put together? Say the opposite
But how would the emperor know? Where did the stuffing go wrong? Why did the emperor not directly question her about this matter
Guo Huizhu was full of doubts, and she was frightened, so she didn't sleep well that night.
She had a dream that Guo Huizhen controlled her and wanted to destroy her face with a knife. When the gleaming sharp blade was about to touch her skin, Guo Huizhu suddenly woke up and shouted frantically, "Someone! Come on!"
A figure pushed in the door, walked gently to the front of her bed, and lifted the curtain of the veil.
Guo Huizhu was about to order the other party to turn on the lamp, but when she turned her head, she saw that the person's face was bloody, and she was smiling at her.
"what-"
Guo Huizhu fainted immediately.
At the same time, Yilan Hall.
Yan Xiuyi very indecently stretched his hand into the placket, and when he pulled it out, he took out two apple-sized water balls. The emperor snapped his fingers, and the water balls gradually dissipated. If there were outsiders here, they would be shocked and doubt life. Can spell! Yan Xiuyi is actually a man!
Of course, these two were Jing Yue and Qin Yanzhi who came to end the cause and effect. The latter said, "Brother, why don't you make Guo Huizhu a little tighter? This way we can end earlier. I really don't want to be a woman anymore."
Jing Yue coughed dryly, "Don't worry, I'm already forcing her, and I asked Guo Huizhen to scare her tonight."
Qin Yanzhi's eyes flicked over, Jingyue turned his head with a guilty conscience, and the atmosphere froze for a while.
In the big world, "I" Qin Yanzhi was not so polite, he said bluntly: "Do you want to see me joking?"
Jing Yue froze, and immediately said with a stubborn mouth: "You are full of jokes in Haotian Realm, do you want me to watch it on purpose?"
Lan Feng looked left and right, jumped to Jing Yue's side, nodding his head in solidarity.
Qin Yanzhi gave Jing Yue a meaningful look, "Just be happy."
Jing Yue became vigilant in his heart, and always felt that something was wrong with Qin Yanzhi
Qin Yanzhi's thoughts in the big world are hard to guess. In the small world, Qin Yanzhi is still relatively exposed. He said bluntly: "Brother, you should actually pretend to be a woman, you..."
He suddenly stopped talking, because he imagined the appearance of the other party's women's clothes, and felt that he didn't want outsiders to see it.
Jingyue tried to end the topic. He glanced at Jiji on the table and said in a stiff tone, "Chiji, why are you always wearing a jade pendant? There is no spiritual spring in it."
Lan Feng raised his head, flew over with the jade pendant in his mouth, and spit out the jade pendant and put it back in Jing Yue's hand, "But there is an emperor inside, Jiji is not allowed to stick to Jingjing, Jiji help you stare at him!"
Jingyue: "..."
It turned out that on that day, he replaced the emperor with a blindfold method, hiding the emperor's body, and enclosing his soul in a jade pendant to carry with him, that is, he wanted the emperor to follow him and feel the pain of being mistaken by the person beside his pillow.
No matter the emperor or the concubines in this illusion, from beginning to end, they seem to recognize only one face.
The next day, someone from the palace came to report that the precious concubine had been frightened and was very ill. Of course Jingyue knew the reason for the so-called fright, but he still pretended to offer condolences. Guo Huizhu only said that it was a nightmare, how could he dare to tell him the truth
When night fell, Guo Huizhu didn't dare to fall asleep at all. She ordered all the maids not to sleep and helped her to keep watch.
But when she was in a daze, she heard a sound in a trance. Guo Huizhu woke up immediately and hurriedly called someone, but there was no reply, and she was the only one left in the room.
Guo Huizhu was terrified. She looked around with the quilt in her arms, and found that a window was leaking, and a dark shadow flashed through the gap. She screamed, grabbed the quilt and covered her head, only to hear a creak - the window was opened!
For some reason, her five senses became extremely sharp, and she could even feel someone crawling in through the window, gently walked to her bedside, lifted the bed curtain, and sat at the head of the bed.
Guo Huizhu in the quilt shook like a sieve, only to hear a hoarse voice, "Sister, why are you hurting me?"
A force pulled Guo Huizhu's quilt away, and then a cold hand touched her cheek.
Guo Huizhu was so frightened that she burst into tears, struggling frantically: "It's not me! It's not me! Don't come to me! It's my mother, taught by my mother, and she wants me to harm you!"
"Who do you want to hurt?"
"I-"
Guo Huizhu was shocked and woke up suddenly, the warm yellow candlelight shone into her eyes and penetrated into her heart, and her originally cold body gradually warmed up.
But the next moment, her pupils suddenly dilated, and she saw that there was indeed a person sitting on the head of the bed, but it was the emperor she was thinking of!
And a house of womb women are still honestly staying in the room, and at this time, they all knelt on the ground with pale faces.
"Emperor, emperor..."
Guo Huizhu finally remembered the last question in "Dream", which was clearly a male voice! The phrase "who do you want to harm" doesn't come from Guo Huizhen, but the emperor!
What did she say then? !
"I ask you, who is coming to you? Who did your mother teach you to harm?"
The indifferent eyes of the emperor made Guo Huizhu's whole body hurt like a knife, and the question made her almost faint. She originally thought that the emperor was suspicious of her, but now she accidentally missed a few words, whether it would make the emperor determine something. guess
Guo Huizhu didn't dare to think about it any more, so she could only weep helplessly, "No one, it was the concubine who had a nightmare, dreaming that a ghost was coming to harm me."
"Yes?"
It was an ordinary question, but Guo Huizhu could hear the irony in it.
Facts proved that she felt right, and the emperor stood up and said, "Since the precious concubine is not in good spirits, the prince and princess will be taken to the Yilan Palace and raised by Yan Xiuyi."
"No! Your Majesty, you can't do this!" Guo Huizhu was emotional, not because of her deep feelings for the children born to Guo Huizhen, but because once the news spread, everyone would know that she had fallen out of favor and was in a relationship with Yan Xiu. In the battle of Yi, she lost a crushing defeat.
The emperor's indifferent expression made Guo Huizhu feel more and more frightened. She was almost certain that the emperor knew, even if she didn't know the specific reason, she must know that she was not really a precious concubine!
That night, the emperor left with the child. Guo Huizhu stared numbly at the dark sky outside the door, as if to swallow her up.
She laughed suddenly, and the laughter was harsh. When a palace maid came to persuade her, Guo Huizhu slammed the other party to the ground with a wave of her hand, "Go away! Even you lowly bastards dare to laugh at me!"
"The slaves don't dare, the lady is forgiving!"
Guo Huizhu looked sullenly at the room of servants who were begging for mercy, and said in a resentful tone: "Bitch, you can't be complacent! Come on, go to Luohou Mansion and let me know, and tell my mother to pass a sign to the palace!"
Yilan Temple.
Jingyue was teasing a pair of twins, both of whom were only over a year old, and could already speak some words. At this time, the babble was quite fun.
Qin Yanzhi saw that he was focusing on the child, and felt a little uncomfortable. He hugged Jingyue from behind like when he was a child, making the two palace maids in the room blushed. Empress Xiuyi looked as cold as ice, but In the face of the emperor, it softened into a bucket of water, no wonder the emperor liked it.
However, in fact, the emperor's scalp was numb, and he felt two soft touches on his back. Although it was only fake, it was still like thousands of ants crawling on his body, and goose bumps came out.
Jingyue didn't know what was wrong with Qin Yanzhi, so he listened to the other party: "Your Majesty, the concubine is sleepy."
"..." Jingyue coughed falsely, continuing his obedient personality, "Come here, take the prince and princess down, Yan Xiuyi and I are going to rest."
"Yes."
Qin Yanzhi was only happy when everyone left. Even if Jingyue pushed him away, he always smiled.
Jingyue: "What are you doing?"
Qin Yanzhi: "I am dedicated."
Jing Yue: "...Actually, you don't need to be so dedicated."
Qin Yanzhi smiled, "Brother, I will listen to you."
Jing Yue glanced at him again, and always felt that Qin Yanzhi was getting more and more strange recently, but he couldn't tell exactly where it was.
After another two days, Mrs. Luohou entered the palace.
In the Huaqing Palace, Guo Huizhu held the hand of Mrs. Luohou, looking horrified, "Mother, the emperor must find out that I am not Guo Huizhen, what should I do?"
Mrs. Luohou looked at her daughter and saw that her eyes were black and blue, and her whole body was haggard like a withered flower, and she said distressedly: "Don't panic, even if the emperor has doubts, it is impossible to be sure. The means, mother also got it by chance, it is impossible for people in the world to think of it."
"No! Mother! The emperor really knew. He even asked me that day if I had a sister-in-law, and he wanted to marry my sister-in-law!" Guo Huizhu cried, "I couldn't sleep all night, and as soon as I closed it, You can see Guo Huizhen turned into a demon and came to me, to tear my skin off! Mother, didn't you just lock her up instead of killing her?"
Mrs. Luohou frowned, "Mother did not do anything, but she escaped."
"What?!" Guo Huizhu stood up abruptly, "How could she escape? Could it be that she was the one who came to me?!"
"Impossible, this palace is heavily guarded, how can she get in like she is not a ghost or a ghost? It's because you worry too much and have dreams at night." Mrs. Luohou thought for a moment, and said: "Before you Said that the emperor went out of the palace, and his attitude towards you changed after he came back?"
Guo Huizhu nodded, startled, "Does my mother suspect that Guo Huizhen met the emperor after escaping? Tell him the truth, and the emperor suspects me?"
Mrs. Luohou looked solemn, "There is a possibility."
Guo Huizhu said angrily, "Why didn't you kill her then! Why keep this scourge?!"
Mrs. Luohou: "Didn't you say you want to keep her to see your beauty?"
"I—" Guo Huizhu said again angrily, "But I didn't expect my mother to look down on a crippled person!"
Mrs. Luohou was at a loss for words, and said sullenly: "Pearl, don't panic, even if the emperor really listened to what Guo Huizhen said, it is impossible for him to believe it, otherwise, why did he not directly take you down, but test it again and again? Besides, Guo Huizhen She has already ruined her appearance. She doesn't scare the emperor to death with her current appearance. What the emperor likes is your face, and most of them are reluctant to destroy it. But he has resentment in his heart, so he is cold to you. "
Guo Huizhu: "But since the emperor knows the truth, even if he likes my... face, it's still difficult to get close to me. Without the emperor's favor, where would his daughter have any glory?"
"Haha..." Mrs. Luohou hugged her daughter gently, "Don't he like Yan Xiuyi? My son, what if you change your face again
"Really?" Guo Huizhu was overjoyed at first, and then she said with frustration, "But what about my current status? The noble concubine in the palace can't be killed suddenly without letting people see the body, right
Mrs. Luohou: "Wait until the spring hunt next year, the emperor will take the concubines out of the palace, and then there will be a chance, just when you are bitten to death by a wild beast."
"But I can't wait that long!" Guo Huizhu said aggrieved: "What's more, according to the indifference of the emperor to me now, it is not certain whether Chunhun will take me."
Mrs. Luohou thought about it as well, and said, "Well, my mother arranged for a credible person to come in and take your current skin, and you will be your Yan Xiuyi. This time, we will never leave future troubles."
Guo Huizhu hesitated, "Can anyone trust this kind of thing?"
Mrs. Luohou disagreed: "My life and wealth are in my mother's hands, not to mention letting her enter the palace as a noble concubine is a blessing that has been cultivated in several lifetimes, and there is nothing to wish for."
Guo Huizhu looked forward to the future, and finally the rain passed, and she hugged Mrs. Luohou coquettishly, "Mother, you are so kind."
Mrs. Luohou looked at her only daughter and felt a little warm in her heart, "Mother is not good to you, who else can be good to you?"
I think she was just an orphan in the past. She experienced all the hardships in the world. She accidentally stumbled into a tomb and obtained the art of painting skin from the tomb. After that, she found an opportunity to kill a family's young lady and impersonate her. Only then did she have a chance to succeed. Luohou's successor wife.
She has status, wealth, and a daughter who continues her bloodline. She must clean up everything that hinders her daughter!
In the blink of an eye, it was late autumn, and the golden leaves fell all over the ground. Early this morning, the emperor said that he had dreamed of the late emperor, so he brought a group of ministers and went to Wufo Mountain to pray for the emperor.
At night, the Yilan Hall was silent.
Yan Xiuyi was sitting in the small Buddha hall transcribing scriptures for the late emperor. A gust of wind blew out the candle, and white smoke poured into the room. Yan Xiuyi covered her forehead, shook it, and fell asleep on the table. past.
A quarter of an hour later, she appeared in the Huaqing Palace, where the precious concubine lived.
Guo Huizhu looked down at the woman on the ground, bent over and pinched the other's chin, and looked around critically, "Did you confuse the emperor with this face?"
Immediately, she released her hand in disgust and kicked Yan Xiuyi.
A woman in a black cloak said, "Don't waste time, hurry up, the emperor will be back tomorrow morning."
Guo Huizhu: "Have everyone else dealt with it?"
They also used a lot of power to bring Yan Xiuyi, but fortunately everything went smoothly.
"Don't worry." The woman pointed to a nervous woman next to her, "She will replace the precious concubine in a while, and you will return to the Yilan Palace as Yan Xiuyi."
Guo Huizhu smiled and said, "Thank you, mother."
The cloaked woman was naturally Mrs. Luohou. She handed a box to Guo Huizhu, who opened the box and took out a few bone pins and a porcelain bottle.
Guo Huizhu pulled out the cork, put the bone needle into the porcelain bottle and stirred it up. When she took it out again, the bone needle was already emitting a faint glow of fluorescent green.
She walked gently in front of Yan Xiuyi, pierced a bone needle from her Baihui point, gently picked it, and her scalp was turned open, revealing the blood red flesh inside, and the faintly visible skull. .
Guo Huizhu was already doing the second operation, and she was quite skilled. She used a few silver needles to peel off Yan Xiuyi's skin little by little, and then cut it with a knife, and the whole face fell into her hands.
The skin in her hands was still dripping blood with a warm fishy smell. Guo Huizhu was overjoyed at the thought of having this alluring face.
"Mother, hurry up and cast spells and help me put on this skin!"
Her excitement was beyond words, but Mrs. Luohou, who had always indulged her, let out a shrill laugh at this time.
"Mother?" Guo Huizhu urged in bewilderment, and saw the other party slowly take off the hood - it was a very terrifying face, and the location of the facial features could only be vaguely identified from the dripping blood, but Guo Huizhu recognized it at a glance. That is her sister - Guo Huizhen!
At this moment, Guo Huizhen grinned slightly and seemed to be smiling at her.
"what-"
Guo Huizhu screamed and fainted again.
When she woke up again, she found that she was still lying in the bedroom, her hands were sticky, and she was holding a human skin.
In the room, there were many palace maids and eunuchs huddled in the corner, all looking at her with fear.
Guo Huizhu's heart skipped a beat, what, what happened? Is she in front of these people...
no! Her secrets can't be exposed, these people are going to die!
At this moment, a group of imperial guards rushed into the Huaqing Palace, and the emperor followed closely behind.
When Guo Huizhu saw the cloaked woman following the emperor, she was shocked and angry, and shouted out of reason, "Guo, Hui, Zhen! It's you!"
She looked to the side subconsciously, and saw a man lying in a pool of blood, his whole face was skinless, and the clothes of this man were familiar to her, as if her mother used to wear them...
At that moment, she suddenly couldn't tell what was real? What is a hallucination? Guo Huizhu felt like she was going crazy!
"Your Majesty! People are still alive!"
A guard inspected the woman lying on the ground, and saw that the other party was still panting "hoho", with tears streaming down her raised eyes, which was terrifying and sad.
The imperial guard, who was used to life and death, couldn't help but his scalp was numb, and he took a step back. The emperor ordered someone to call an imperial physician to diagnose and treat him.
When the situation stabilized, the emperor looked at Guo Huizhu again. His eyes were full of disgust, which made Guo Huizhu heartbroken. She heard the emperor say, "The precious concubine entered the palace fornication with outsiders, and then manipulated sorcery and murdered people in the palace. Three crimes are punished together, and I will be sent to the cold palace today!"
