Chapter Eighty-Nine: Exorcism
Because Mu Qing fell ill on Chinese New Year's Eve, she has been obediently staying in Chenzhi Palace to recuperate in the past few days, except for attending the absurd palace banquet, she has never stepped out of Chenzhi Palace.
Emperor Liang Yinhao learned the news of Mu Qing's poor health, and also came to the palace to see her a few times, but because of the New Year, Liang Yinhao himself also had a lot of things, so there was no way to visit Mu Qing from time to time, but he specially instructed the Tai Hospital to take care of her. However, Mu Qing was relieved about this, Liang Yinhao didn't come, but left a piece for her to be clean, so that she could concentrate on recuperation.
Seven days have passed since the New Year, Mu Qing's body has almost recovered, seeing that the weather is still sunny today, and the cold wind outside is not as biting as the previous two days, so Mu Qing ordered Zhu Yu to go to the imperial garden with her for a walk. The red plums in the Imperial Garden are blooming very well these days, and the gorgeous and delicate stamens are so beautiful that they are extremely beautiful.
Seeing Mu Qingqi's calm appearance, Zhu Yu was obviously not affected by what happened to Concubine Zhen a few days ago. Although Zhu Yu was happy that her master's body was fine, she also felt a little worried for Shen Zhen, and finally couldn't hold it back, and asked tentatively: "Niangniang, there is Yi Qiangong ahead, do you want to go and have a look?" ”
Mu Qing paused, stared at Zhu Yu tightly, did not speak for a long time, his sharp eyes were like a sharp knife, and the cold light was shining. Zhu Yu knew that she had said the wrong thing, so she immediately closed her mouth in recognition and just lowered her head to support her.
Not long after shopping, Mu Qing said that he was a little tired and wanted to go back to Chenzhi Palace. So Zhu Yu bowed her head to receive the order, and carefully helped Mu Qing to walk slowly in the palace alley. Mu Qing has never liked to make a sedan chair, she always says that walking around more is good for the body, so every time as long as it is not too far, Mu Qing will choose to walk. Today, Zhu Yu deliberately chose a secluded path, this road they don't walk much on weekdays, Zhu Yu is called 'quiet', but Mu Qing knows in his heart that this girl's real intentions, but he didn't explicitly demolish her.
The two of them walked for a while, and Mu Qing heard a crying cry in the distance, which sounded extremely abrupt in contrast to the quiet palace alley.
Zhu Yu was also surprised by the noise in the distance, and wondered if something had happened again. Thinking about struggling for a while, Zhu Yu took a breath, and after making a big decision, she turned her head to Mu Qing and said pretendedly: "Niangniang, it seems to be from Yi Qiangong." ”
"Yi Qiangong has almost become a cold palace now, how can it still be so lively?" Mu Qing spoke slowly, his tone full of mockery, and finally smiled with relief, "Let's go!" Let's go to Yiqian Palace to see what other moths can come out! ”
Zhu Yu was overjoyed in her heart, and immediately walked in the direction where Mu Qing's noise came from. The two walked to the gate of Yi Qian Palace, and there was no half of a eunuch or palace maid outside, Mu Qing thought to himself: Could it be that this Yi Qian Palace has really become a cold palace, and there is no one to even call the basic envoys?
Mu Qing pondered as he walked straight towards the Yiqian Palace. The two of them had not taken two steps, and Mu Qing saw Tang Meiren standing proudly in the center of the courtyard outside the main hall, and standing beside Tang Meiren were several men wearing Taoist costumes, and there was a pungent smell of incense and candles in the air. Shen Zhen's mother and son also stood in the courtyard, but the two of them were surrounded by a group of little eunuchs, who all had a cold smile on their faces, and they looked like foxes and tigers. The rest of the palace maids and eunuchs of Yiqian Palace knelt aside, silently bowing their heads and crying.
Tang Meiren said coldly: "Sister Zhen, don't blame your sister! Sister, I am also for your good, for the good of the eldest prince. The eldest prince is now as evil as his body, and his fortune is ominous, and he needs a master to expel the filth from his body for his practice.
Shen Hao hugged her son tightly and pleaded bitterly: "Xi'er has always been fine, there is no evil spirit at all, and there is no need for any magic work. We have now been grounded in the palace by the emperor, and there is no threat to you, Tang Meiren, you will let my mother and son go, right? ”
"Sister, I don't understand what my sister says." Tang Meiren, "Besides, my sister can't be the master of this matter." If you want to exorcise evil spirits for the eldest prince, that's what the emperor meant, and my sister is just running errands for the emperor. Sister, you can rest assured, this Taoist master is experienced and will definitely not hurt His Royal Highness. ”
Although Liang Xi didn't fully understand Tang Meiren's words, he could still feel the other party's unkindness between the lines. He leaned into his mother's arms even more fearfully, panic written on his little immature face.
Shen Zhen relentlessly tried to make a final struggle, "No! I beg you to let me see the emperor, I will go and plead with the emperor and tell the emperor that Xi'er is not sick!"
"The emperor is now in the queen's palace, where is the time? Besides, the emperor has already spoken, if the evil qi in the body of His Royal Highness the Great Prince is not expelled, not only His Royal Highness himself, but also everyone in the entire Yiqian Palace will not be allowed to meet the Holy Lord! Sister, don't embarrass me. Tang Meiren said gloomily, and then secretly glanced at the eunuchs beside Concubine Zhen's mother and son, suggesting that they should do it now.
Several little eunuchs were also very good at looking at it, and immediately pulled Liang Xi away from Shen Zhen's arms with quick movements, and dragged the child in the direction where the Taoist priest was standing.
Liang Xi struggled to resist, but he was too young, and his hands and feet had no strength, although he tried his best, but in the end he hit the stone with an egg, which was useless. He cried and shouted, "I'm not going, I'm not going!!" Let me go! Mother, mother, save me..."
Shen Zhen heard her son's heart-rending cry for help, her heart ached, and her originally clear eyes were even wetted with tears. Shen Zhen wanted to run to the child's side regardless of Qiqi, but at this moment, her hands were firmly grasped by several Tang beauty's maids, and there was still no way to get out of the struggle. Listening to her son's increasingly sad cry, Shen Zhen only felt a sharp pain all over her body, her body suddenly softened, half kneeling and half sitting on the ground, wailing: "Please, please, don't do this to us, don't do this to Xi'er..."
But no matter how Liang Xi cried and screamed, and how Shen Zhen begged for mercy, Tang Meiren still looked like a villain, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth. And the eunuchs who did it were all expressionless, as if they couldn't find a trace of popularity in them.
Liang Xi was dragged in front of the Taoist priest, and the two eunuchs pressed his narrow shoulders fiercely, preventing him from standing up. At this time, I saw the Taoist priest take out a piece of paper from his arms and slowly ignite it. Then he took the burning talisman paper and spared it a few times above Liang Xi's head, and kept muttering something to himself. (To be continued.) )
