Chapter 169: The Art of Sorcery
Su Yue followed the guards to Zhongcui Palace, and before she got closer, she heard that it was already quiet inside, presumably everyone was already waiting silently for her to go. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Sure enough, seeing that the banquet had been carried out for most of the time, there was still a wanton aroma of wine wafting during the banquet, the emperor and queen sat on the main seat, Shuguifei and Jiafei were all on the side of the main seat, according to the big makeup, Su Yue glanced lightly, Lanyan Mu'er was both a concubine, naturally wearing a jujube red concubine palace dress, the neckline and skirt were embroidered with gold thread auspicious cloud patterns, and the delicate eye makeup also showed a little unclear, maybe with a little worry, she was pregnant, naturally she couldn't drink, so her expression was clear at a glance.
Concubine Jia Zixi was dressed in a light purple concubine costume, decorated with a gold thread ribbon around her waist, and there was a cold look between her eyebrows, but she couldn't hide her worldly posture, her face was red and slightly drunk, but there was no warmth in her eyes when she touched it, and her cold eyes looked at Su Yue with some complicated feelings.
When Su Yue came to the palace, she naturally followed the rules to meet the emperor and the concubines present, and lowered her eyes to hide her feelings.
"Your Majesty, I found this thing under the Kongcui Pavilion, and I asked the emperor to take a look." The leader next to him took the wooden figure and respectfully presented it to the emperor.
After seeing the objects in the tray clearly, everyone couldn't help but gasp, and the emperor looked at this thing with a calm look, the wooden man had some moss-colored body, which must have been buried in the soil for a period of time.
"Bold!" The emperor did not say this for a moment, slapped his hand heavily on the feast, dropped the wine glass, and fell to the ground crisply.
All the concubines were frightened by this sound, and they all knelt down in a hurry, and said in unison, "The emperor is angry!" ”
Only Ling Xueyue had the courage to say to the emperor, "Your Majesty, this matter still needs to be asked clearly, why do you need to be so angry." Please take care of your body. ”
Su Yue knew that witchcraft was taboo in the royal family, especially the emperors of previous dynasties, who hated it deeply, and now that such a thing had happened, how could the emperor not be furious. The emperor didn't ask himself how he could speak again, but he had to look down at the ground, his figure reflected on the smooth marble floor, but he could see his own expression clearly, but he was also silent.
I don't like to fight in the harem, frame me, one after another, how can I make people tired.
"Hmph, it's come to this, what else do you have to say?" The emperor's voice seemed to float from a long distance, Su Yue gathered his thoughts, and then said,
"Concubine, there is nothing to say!" Su Yue knew that even if she was lucky enough to avoid this time, then she believed that there would be more situations to come, so she simply let the other party get her wish, but she didn't bother to guard against inadvertent framing.
"Promise, do you know what you're talking about?!" The queen's voice sounded on the side, "Witchcraft is a serious crime. You won't be so confused, and besides, there's no reason for you to do that. ”
"The concubine heard that Xiao Yiyi's death was also related to the maid's promise, if this scourge is not eradicated, the palace will ...... in the future" Wang Liangren bowed deeply, and seemed to be sincere, "My sisters are afraid of being poisoned......
"What my sister said is not unreasonable, and the concubine also agrees to dispose of the maid and agrees to correct the harem." Concubine Wu has been exposed to the wind in the ears of Yu Meiren and others during this time, and she has long been more and more unbearable to this Su Yue, she has had a holiday with her in the prince's mansion before, and today is a good time to get rid of her, how can she not echo her.
"Oh? What do I mean by the words of Concubine Shu and Concubine Jia? When the emperor heard this, he didn't say anything, but just asked the second concubine beside him what she thought about this matter.
"Your Majesty, the concubines think it's better to find out, witchcraft is not a small crime." Concubine Shu naturally bowed, her eyelids jumped a little when she looked at the puppeteer, how could it be......
"The concubines are all at the disposal of the emperor, and they don't have any opinions." Concubine Jia said lightly, her temperament has always been like this, and everyone is not surprised.
"I suddenly remembered something, isn't it Concubine Shugui, and the congratulatory gifts that Concubine Jia received from the maid all had musk that harmed the prince and the fetus? Why didn't the musk find it, but found such an object, I am really curious. The emperor seemed to say casually, and his anger did not know when to extinguish, but revealed an unfathomable feeling.
"Maybe the maid promised to put all the musk on the gift, but somehow the guards dug up such objects." Yu Meiren didn't care about the emperor's face, lowered her head and said softly. "The concubine saw that there was some moss on the puppeteer, it must not have been buried in the past two days, and it was not the same as the appearance of the puppeteer, everyone knows, the maid agreed to be so friendly with the concubine in the past, why since the concubine was pregnant, she no longer interacted, it seems that she must be resentful, and curse the concubine with this method." After calmly speaking, Yu Mei bowed and retreated.
"You're so smart, I underestimate you." The emperor said this meaninglessly, which made people want to explore.
Yu Meiren knew that the emperor thought she talked too much, so she pretended not to know, "The concubine just said it bluntly, and I hope the emperor will not blame the concubine for her shallowness." ”
The emperor didn't speak again, and said to the empress beside him, "What does the empress think about now?!" ”
"Back to the emperor, the matter is still unclear, just guess how you can be convicted, it is better to take the maid into custody for the time being, and then deal with it after carefully investigating and dealing with this matter." Ling Xueyue didn't believe that this matter was done by Su Yue, with her smart heart, it was unbelievable that she was so full of loopholes.
"Is that how the queen made this so big a big deal?" As soon as these words came out, the queen also knelt down to ask for guilt, and the emperor has always been polite and respectful to the queen, but when he said this, he was obviously dissatisfied.
"The concubine is stupid, please ask the emperor to make it clear." The queen replied respectfully.
"Explicitly? Hehe......." The emperor looked at the faces of the concubines at this moment and pulled out a smile, and everyone didn't know what to do, so he said, "My Yue'er has been pregnant for more than two months, how do you say she touched the musk to that congratulatory gift?" As for the puppet, it is even more clear that she was framed, she is pregnant with my child, why do you curse others like this? Seeing Su Yue's eyes looking at herself in shock, she smiled with satisfaction, she had been looking at her like this for a long time, and the more she wanted to keep a low profile, she couldn't let her get her wish.
Not to mention Su Yue, the concubines beside him seemed to be sluggish, and the emperor was in a better mood today, "What?" Are you stupid? ”
"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to my sister." It was still the concubine Shugui who spoke up first, and the other concubines got up and said hello to the emperor and Su Yue.
Su Yue didn't know where the joy came from, she clearly saw the look in his eyes, as if she was competing with herself, why did he announce it with such fanfare?! (To be continued.) )
