Chapter 12: The Witch Trick (2)
Then the two imperial physicians, Zhang and Wang, also followed out of the inner hall, kneeling behind Imperial Physician Li, trembling and speechless. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The palace maids waiting in the outer hall hurriedly pushed and shoved into the inner hall to take care of Xia Zhaoyi.
The emperor's figure flickered, and he pointed to the three imperial doctors who were kneeling on the ground, and said in disbelief: "Xia Zhaoyi was fine yesterday, and you all told me that there was nothing to do!" How did you slip the tire?! If I don't tell you a reason today, I'll push you out of the noon gate and behead you!! ”
The blood in the inner hall spread in the cleaning up of the palace maids coming and going, and the atmosphere of the entire Splendid Palace became more and more depressing, and the little eunuch on the side didn't even dare to make a sound.
Imperial Physician Li raised his face and said aggrievedly: "Back to Your Majesty, the daily routine pulse of the old minister and the two imperial doctors has never been found to be inappropriate!" Except for the mother who is a little haggard because of her pregnancy, everything is really business as usual! ”
Imperial Physician Zhang seemed to have thought of something, and his face became excited, "Your Majesty! Lao Chen thought that Xia Zhaoyi was not because of a slippery tire, such symptoms were completely consistent with the witchcraft described in ancient books! Someone must be jealous of Niangniang and have practiced witchcraft! ”
The emperor was already in a trance, supported by the eunuch, and he was not lightly angry, and looked at Imperial Doctor Zhang for a long time, as if he was thinking about the truth of this sentence.
Empress Dowager Zhang bowed slightly to the emperor, "Your Majesty, what Imperial Doctor Zhang said is indeed reasonable, this ancient book has also been read by mourners, it seems absurd, but it really has the ability to take life from the air." ”
The emperor shook off the eunuch's support, and said angrily, "Come on, call all the concubines in this harem to the Splendid Palace, and send Shu Zhi to bring people to search for me, I want to see who has the courage to murder the emperor's heir!" ”
Shu Zhi, the commander of the forbidden army, was already waiting outside the palace, and when he heard the summons, he immediately led people to start searching, and the black pressed armor dispersed into the harem in an orderly manner.
Empress Dowager Zhang instructed the little eunuch to help the emperor to the outer hall to rest, and she followed behind to reassure: "The emperor must not mess up at this time, there will be another heir if he is gone, and the most important thing at this time is to catch the person who is making trouble behind him." ”
The little fat man has been staring at the Queen Mother's side in a daze, and there are always some strange feelings in his heart.
Grandma Huang's only preference in Shoukun Palace is to study dishes in the back kitchen, when will she read such absurd ancient books?
About half an hour later, the concubines of the harem were taken to the outer hall of the Splendid Palace by the forbidden army, and the Empress Dowager Zhang and the emperor sat in the first place, looking at everyone in the palace.
Zheng Guifei's face was calm, but her palms dyed with bright red Kodan kept sweating, and she softly called Chun'er on her side, "Are you all hidden?" ”
Chun'er said without fear: "Niangniang doesn't need to worry. ”
After another half an hour, Shu Zhi, the commander of the forbidden army, led his own soldiers back to the Splendid Palace, Zheng Guifei's eyes were sharp, and she saw the black wooden box in the hands of her own soldiers, and her face turned pale in an instant.
Shu Zhi led the forbidden army to kneel on the ground, "Back to Your Majesty, Weichen found this wooden box in the Changle Palace of the noble concubine. He waved his hand and motioned for his soldiers to present the wooden box, and the little soldier walked not far from the emperor and gently opened the wooden box.
A foul smell of blood came out, and inside the wooden box was a puppet with Xia Zhaoyi's name on his forehead and red needles.
Everyone in the outer hall exploded with a bang, and all the concubines covered their noses and retreated.
Empress Dowager Zhang hurriedly summoned a little eunuch and instructed him to send the little fat man back to the East Palace.
"Bold!" The emperor waved his hand and overturned the tea cup on the table, got up angrily and pointed at Zheng Guifei's nose and said, "How dare you slut?!" ”
"Your Majesty spares your life!" Concubine Zheng Guifei fell to the ground with a pale face, "The concubine doesn't know anything, the concubine is wronged!" How dare a concubine do such a thing that ruins her conscience! ”
Imperial Physician Li, who was kneeling on the side, looked up at the wooden box and exclaimed, "It's a Gu Dirt!" Your Majesty, the box is filled with filth! Once this poisonous medicine is inhaled by a pregnant person, it will have an abortion within three days, but the pulse will not be different! ”
The emperor was so angry that his body was unstable, he fell on the chair, his eyes were bloodshot, and said: "I ask again, Concubine Zheng, are you guilty?!" ”
Although Concubine Zheng Guifei was frightened, after listening to Imperial Physician Li's words, she also understood that someone was going to kill someone with a knife, so she hurriedly cried and shouted: "Your Majesty, the concubine is wronged!" The concubine doesn't know what the filth is, there are people, someone wants to frame the concubine! ”
Chun'er, who was kneeling with Concubine Zheng Guifei under His Royal Highness, changed her previous calmness at this time, knelt up and said to Concubine Zheng Guifei tremblingly: "Niangniang, don't be obsessed, confess your sins to Your Majesty!" Without waiting for Concubine Zheng Guifei to react, she faced the emperor and cried: "Back to the emperor, the things in this wooden box are all obtained by me and Niangniang to Liu Daopo in the north of the city...... The emperor spared the mother! Niangniang is also confused for a while! After saying that, Chun'er kept kowtowing, and the sound of "dong" and "dong" was especially clear in the silent hall.
Concubine Zheng never imagined that things would turn out like this, and at this time, she actually looked at Chun'er speechless.
The emperor stroked his forehead and said tiredly: "This matter is all decided by the queen mother." ”
Empress Dowager Zhang bowed slightly, first ordered the father-in-law to help the three old doctors up, and ordered the soldiers to take the wooden box closer to her to take a closer look at it, and then said: "The mourning family has gone through two generations in the harem, and the mourning family has seen the dirty things that should not be seen." This 'blood man' witchcraft is extremely vicious, supplemented by defilement, and it can even cause infertility to women! Over the years, the only regret between the emperor and the mourning family is that the harem has rarely come out, and the mourning family has always thought that it was my great Jin son's thin interest, but they never thought that there would be such a sinister woman in the harem! ”
Concubine Zheng Guifei's face turned white, "No, the concubine didn't ......, the concubine didn't ...... Concubine ......"
"Enough! Empress Dowager Zhang said angrily: "There are human and material evidence, what else can you quibble?!" Pass on my hand: Concubine Zheng, bad conduct. Practicing witchcraft to frame the emperor's heir, the crime is heavy, and he is sent to the heavenly prison and hanged three days later! ”
The emperor said in a muffled voice on the side: "The queen mother means that I will, come here, take it down, I don't want to see these troublesome things!" ”
"Weichen Command!" Shu Zhi got up and commanded his own soldiers to escort people, and the concubines were also sent back to their bedrooms after a period of panic.
Seeing that everything that should be dispersed was scattered, Empress Dowager Zhang said to the emperor: "The emperor should go and see Xia Zhaoyi, this child is really guilty." ”
Waving his hand, the emperor said impatiently: "Don't worry about the imperial doctor taking care of me, there are still twists and turns in the front hall of me, so I will go back first, and the queen mother will also return to the palace earlier, this place smells of blood is a little worse." After that, he walked out of the Splendid Palace without looking back.
"Congratulations to Your Majesty." The palace maids and eunuchs in the palace bowed and saluted.
Empress Dowager Zhang watched him go out of the palace gate, and her eyes were cold and said to Duke De: "The women of this harem have never had a good life." ”
Father-in-law De knew that she remembered the sad things of her youth again, and sighed unconsciously, "This person is alive, isn't he suffering." ”
