Because of the involvement of witches, Kou Xian didn't dare to hand over this errand to others, so he took people with him personally.

About half an hour later, Kou Xian returned, and the kind smile on his face was gone, and his whole temperament showed a ruthlessness that matched his profession.

The subordinate who followed behind Kou Xian carried several trays in his hands.

The queen asked in surprise: "These are ......"

Kou Xian saluted the queen and reported: "Queen Mother, these are all found from the Wenzhen Palace. ”

Only then did everyone see clearly that there were some strange things on those trays, including blood books with strange spells, bones of animals I don't know what it was, and ghost faces made of straw that were somewhat similar to the scarecrow that I had searched out of Xue Wanqing's room before.

Although these things are different, there is no doubt that they are all related to witchcraft.

"Where did they come from?" asked the Queen.

Kou Xian pointed to the things on the tray in turn and said, "This is found in Miss Zhuang's house, this is in the yard of Shen and Liu, and this is buried outside Miss He's window......"

Zhuang Huanting had just been frightened, and her face was still white, so she was scared again.

"How can I have such a thing in my house? I—I'm framed!"

Several other named show girls also shouted injustice.

Xue Wanqing looked at He Linwan in surprise, "Why are you ......?"

He Linwan, as the person whose name was named, also looked sad, "Hey, I don't know which way we have offended the immortals." ”

Xue Wanqing glanced at He Linwan and didn't squeak.

Someone found out about the problem and whispered, "How can I see that the accident is the best of the show girls?"

Concubine De's maid walked over and took a look, and found that the cursed people were also these show girls in the palace, that is to say, A cursed B, B cursed C, and then C cursed A.

Seeing that she was not a cursed person, Concubine De's face was a little better, and she sneered: "What kind of mess!"

After such a play, the witch case that was originally worth investigating well has become a farce.

The queen breathed a sigh of relief, turned her head and whispered to Concubine Xian, "That's fine, at least it's not implicated." ”

Concubine Xian smiled, "That's what the queen said. ”

Concubine De sneered: "Do you want to get these show girls to the Shen Criminal Division for interrogation now? ”

The queen said: "It seems that this matter is a farce, and the purpose is that someone wants to destroy today's palace election." According to the meaning of this palace, this matter should be investigated after the palace election, what do you think?"

The queen asked about Concubine De and Concubine Xian.

Concubine De rarely didn't argue with the queen, and agreed: "Then let's make the palace election first." ”

Concubine De thought that since this matter was not her own ghost, it was a mess with the family, and she naturally didn't want the other party to get her wish, Concubine De glanced at Concubine Xian.

Concubine Xian's face remained unchanged, and she smiled and bowed: "The concubine listens to the queen's arrangement." ”

Concubine De snorted coldly.

The queen looked at Kou Xian again and said, "What does Lord Kou think?"

The reason why the Shen Penal Division can walk sideways inside and outside the palace is because it represents the will of Emperor Tiancheng most of the time, so the queen can't turn a blind eye to Kou Xian.

Kou Xian was very annoyed in his heart, today it was obvious that their Shen Criminal Division was treated as a monkey, if these show girls were really arrested in the Shen Criminal Division, Emperor Tiancheng would be the first to blame him for his bad behavior.

So Kou Xian also bowed and said: "What the queen said is very true, the slave and maid respect the will of the mother." ”

Kou Xian glanced at his subordinates and retreated from the Wenzhen Hall with his men.

When he left the Wenzhen Palace, Kou Xian's face turned cold, and he instructed his subordinates: "Go and check for me! I want to see which fairy dares to play with grandpa!"

The show girls in the hall couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when they saw that the people in the Shen Criminal Division were gone, if they still wanted to see Xue Wanqing's jokes at the beginning, they all hoped that this matter would end here, and none of them wanted to be involved.

He Linwan looked at the expressions of everyone in the hall, and thought in his heart, sure enough, if the whip is not hit on him, he will not feel pain.

I don't know whose handiwork the scarecrow puppet was planted on Xue Wanqing's body, and those that were later searched out by Kou Xian were made by He Linwan and Li Yu's people, the purpose was to mix the water and help Xue Wanqing pick it out.

Because of the limited information she got and the time was very tight, she didn't have time to find out what the so-called "dirty things" in Xue Wanqing's room were, so she asked Li Yu to do some cursed things casually, the method was very simple and crude, and it was difficult for Li Yu to complete her entrustment in such a short time.

Xue Wanqing whispered to He Linwan: "Thank you." ”

He Linwan didn't deny it, but only replied in a low voice: "You helped me last time, let's settle it." ”

Xue Wanqing knew that she was just a gesture last time, but He Linwan took a great risk to help herself today. However, she didn't ask He Linwan how she did it, just like He Linwan didn't ask her before, who didn't have their own means.

The farce of Wenzhen Hall is over, and the palace election begins.

The show girls stood in the Wenzhen Hall in turn, the main hall of the Wenzhen Hall is very large, and it is the scale of the Tianji Hall in the palace second only to the ministers in the court, after all, the branches and leaves are also a fundamental part of the society for the royal family.

In the ordinary draft year, because there are more people, the show girls are going to the palace in batches, and a group of people are eliminated and then selected, this time the number is relatively small, and the ritual is simplified, so they go to the palace at one time.

The show girls have all been carefully dressed up today, although they have just experienced a fright, but when they stand in the main hall, they can't see anything wrong on their faces, showing their most beautiful side, and their ability to adjust their emotions is very amazing.

He Linwan's position is in the second row, relatively forward, Xue Wanqing is standing in front of her on the right, Zhuang Huanting on her left, and a show girl surnamed Liu on her right.

The queen sits at the top, with Concubine De and Concubine Xian on the left and right respectively, and several princes standing at the bottom.

The palace maids went up to the hall in turn with trays, and there were several jade carvings on the trays.

According to the ranking of the princes, the second prince should have been selected first, but the palace maids stood beside Concubine De and Concubine Xian with trays.

The queen looked at Concubine De and Concubine Xian, it stands to reason that Concubine Xian is more advanced than Concubine De, and she has more seniority, so she can choose her daughter-in-law first. But the fifth prince is ranked higher than the sixth prince, and it makes sense for Concubine De to pick first.

The queen didn't speak for a while, and Concubine Xian, who had always been polite, lowered her eyes and had no intention of backing down.

Concubine De didn't seem to understand the queen's hesitation, so she directly reached out and took a jade carved hibiscus flower and handed it to her maid, "Then let's start, put this flower on the Xue family's girl's hair bun for the palace." ”
