The two hundred and eighth round

Qin Ying let him hold him, and sighed in his heart that time flies so fast, and the former taciturn child has become a decisive highness in words and deeds. But before she could get used to this qiē, the change came unexpectedly......

His Majesty was in some bad health, so he lived in Jianzhang Palace to recuperate and manage politics at the same time.

At that time, Wei Zifu's sister had an accident with the Gongsun family who had married. Wei Zifu's brother-in-law Gongsun He and nephew Gongsun Jingsheng were imprisoned, and they died tragically due to torture. The relationship between this matter is complicated, Princess Yangshi, the princess of Zhuyi from the queen, and the eldest son of General Wei Qing, Wei Yan, were also killed.

For a while, the palace was shrouded in a low pressure that was about to rain in the mountains.

Wei Zifu couldn't help but be sad, in addition to eating and sleeping every day, he was in a daze at a scroll of his daughter's portrait. Qin Ying persuaded the queen to mourn and change, and the number of times she went to the Jiaofang Hall for breakfast was also less, which meant that the queen would be quiet first.

Liu Yun was not very surprised when he heard that the two little aunts had died. His Majesty has always been very secretive to Wu Bu, he can be placed under house arrest for a three-year-old imperial grandson because of a prophecy, Liu Yun feels that there is such a "lesson from the past" of His Majesty, because of a curse to kill the imperial daughter who cursed him, it is not impossible.

Although the emperor's grandmother's side used to be a treasure place that everyone flocked to, but now it has become a place that everyone avoids, he still goes to the Jiaofang Hall every day to ask for peace.

He knew that Qin Ying was adopted by the queen, if it weren't for this relationship, he wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet Qin Ying at all, and this filial piety day after day and year after year was his way of repaying him.

Wei Zifu was a little stimulated, and her consciousness was not very clear, and she even regarded Qin Ying and Liu Yun, who had come to invite her for a long time, as her daughter Princess Zhuyi and nephew Wei Yan.

One day, she took Qin Ying and Liu Yun's hands, chattering about their childhood, and sighed: "In the past, I saw that you two childhood sweethearts had no guesses, so I thought that you would marry when you grew up, but there was still no fate." Wei Zifu looked at Liu Yun with teary eyes, "It's not your cousin who is asking to marry, Zhuyi has cried several times in front of me for this." ”

Qin Ying remembered Wei Yan. When General Wei Qing entered the palace to visit his sister, he accidentally brought his eldest son Wei Ling. He is more than ten years older than Qin Ying, and he takes care of her like a brother, and plays games with her every time he comes, which makes Qin Ying very happy.

And that princess of Zhuyi, when Qin Ying entered the palace, she was about to get married, and she was busy buying embroidered red wedding dresses every day, but she didn't leave any impression on Qin Ying.

Qin Ying heard that the queen was so sad, shook her hand back, and said in her heart: It turns out that Princess Zhuyi and Wei Yan are still a pair of childhood sweethearts, and they are really similar to her and Liu Yun.

Wei Zifu folded Qin Ying's and Liu Yun's hands together, his forehead was against the corner of the long case, and tears fell on the back of Qin Ying's hand, hot and scorching, and it was about to burn into people's hearts. I saw that she was the mother of a country, and she cried silently: "It's a pity that you didn't see each other again, so you left with grievances, and in the end, let me, a white-haired person...... Witness you brunette ......"

Liu Yun also seemed to feel the unspeakable sadness, closed his eyes and raised his head.

Qin Ying exhaled deeply, and suddenly thought of the prediction made by his master a year ago: there will be a great disaster that will befall the country. Now that the Gongsun family has been sentenced to the nine clans, Princess Yangshi, Princess Zhuyi and Wei Yan have all been implicated to death. About the master's prophecy has been fulfilled.

She didn't know if this catastrophe was over now, and her heart was so heavy that she couldn't breathe.

One day after eating, Liu Yun called her to the corridor behind the Jiaofang Palace, at this time no outsiders would pass by here, just enough for them to say something, he asked her in a low voice: "Have you heard why His Majesty killed so many people in a rage?" ”

Qin Ying shook her head ignorantly, although she had been paying attention to the inside and outside of the palace, the news was still not as well-informed as him. More than a month has passed since the death of the two princesses of the Gongsun family, but no one in the palace dares to touch this taboo topic, which is related to His Majesty's face and the queen's heartache.

He looked at Qin Ying with a stern face and said, "Your Majesty ordered the arrest of Yangling Zhu Anshi all over the country, and Gongsun He, the head of the Gongsun family, came forward and arrested this person for His Majesty. After Zhu Anshi was imprisoned, he accused Gongsun He of using a paulownia puppet to curse His Majesty. ”

“…… What makes their heads fall to the ground is so ridiculous? Qin Ying's eyes widened in disbelief.

She thought that they had committed an unforgivable sin, and that they would be sentenced to death by His Majesty. But how can Zhu Anshi's slanderous words stand up and make His Majesty listen to them? Although His Majesty's body is no longer as healthy as before, he is not old and confused. There must be someone behind this incident who is cooperating with Zhu Anshi!

Liu Yun nodded and said, "Let's not investigate how His Majesty killed people without being kind." Be wary of the fact that they use paulownia puppets to curse His Majesty from the beginning. He frowned and said worriedly, "You are the most trusted witch by the queen's side, don't use paulownia puppets on the cusp of this storm." ”

Qin Ying snorted with his nose and dispelled his worries with great impatience: "I can the paulownia puppet, but I have never used it to curse others in the palace." Not all witches have to rely on indiscriminate means to show how good their witchcraft is. ”

The master taught her many things, but he never mentioned paulownia dolls to her. Qin Ying borrowed the master's handwriting one day, and saw two lines of scribbled small characters on it, which happened to be the curse method of the paulownia puppet:

"Take the paulownia villain, engrave the name of the person and bury it in the ground, and pray for its death every day, which can make people die unwell and even die early."

This is a very vicious curse method, but many ladies in the palace are secretly using it.

Qin Ying was shocked at the time, but she didn't ask the master about the paulownia puppet. The master didn't take the initiative to teach her, and Qin Ying was happy to pretend to be ignorant.

The night before the master left, he taught Qin Yingtong the curse method of the wooden puppet and the corresponding healing method, and finally instructed earnestly: "Everything in the world has both good and evil sides. Don't see one side and ignore the other. ”

She said hello, but secretly thought in her heart: I will never use paulownia dolls in my lifetime.

So now Liu Yun's admonition is redundant for Qin Ying. She was even more disgusted with the preservation of paulownia dolls than he was.

"I always pretend to be gentle and harmless outside, why do I show a grinning expression here. Are you bullying Hongu and won't annoy you? That being said, he had a smile on his face.

He was no stranger to Qin Ying, who showed his "fangs and claws" at every turn. (To be continued.) )
