The inside of the hall is covered with many charms from the roof to the bottom, sealing every inch of the corner, leaving no extra gaps on the carved pillars of the dragon, Shen Shuzhao carefully followed Wei Yang in the middle, and soon a high platform appeared in front of him, and in the center of it was placed a brown lacquer guqin, which was the same as when he left that day - the only difference was that the qin was covered with blood charms, and it was placed there eeriely, and the cold light came in from the skylight outside the hall, as if it was polished and smeared on the body of the qin, It exudes a faint white and blue luster.

Coming to Qin's face, Shen Shuzhao wanted to reach out to touch it, but Wei Yang raised his hand to stop her, "Slow." ”

"How?" Shen Shuzhao was puzzled, Wei Yang held her hand and slowly took it back, and said, "You are sick, let me come." ”

Shen Shuzhao smiled helplessly, "But you and I both know that there are no ghosts in this qin, and I can't have an accident." ”

Wei Yang shook his head, meaning no.

Shen Shuzhao had no choice but to retreat and let her come over to do it. Wei Yang stepped forward, and after a while, she opened the body of the piano, Shen Shuzhao bent down to check with her, and they found that the internal structure of the piano was peculiar, the machinery was intricate, and it was definitely not from the hands of ordinary people, and there were nail scratches in some places on the back of the piano, and the deep embedding of the dao was shocking, as if someone was imprisoned here, and there was no escape.

"It seems that this person has thought very thoroughly, even if everyone thinks it is unlucky and does not dare to come to inspect it, there will always be people who mention yì to check the body, so this is also very terrifying."

Wei Yang stroked the scratches, and the mottled blood stains penetrated directly into the wall of the piano, and Shen Shuzhao felt a chill when he saw it, not because he was scared because of the weirdness, but because he felt embarrassed and sighed that people's hearts can be so sinister.

She thought carefully about the cause and effect of the matter, Gu Concubine was promoted from a beauty to a concubine a year earlier than in her previous life, this is because she intervened to support the Shen family's forces to support the concubine, so that Gu Concubine, whose family is not particularly outstanding, was able to pick up a bargain, in fact, if she did not appear, Gu Concubine would also become a concubine, but after the emperor's new love continued in the previous life, she gradually lost the scenery of the past, could it be said that it was just a small point that changed her fate, so Gu Concubine suffered the punishment brought by something that did not belong to her life?

The more Shen Shuzhao thought about it, the more flustered she felt, she was also a person whose fate had changed, would she be the same as Concubine Gu? Forget it, this kind of unspeakable thing will only disturb the current mind when you think about it, so it's better not to obsess about it.

She intently recalled the people Gu Concubine had offended recently, and the culprit must be among those people.

Queen, Xi Concubine, Virtuous Concubine, Yan Concubine, Jade Concubine...... It's highly likely that any of these people will be able to.

Who's behind that?

At this time, Wei Yang, who was disassembling the piano on the side, called her over: "Look. ”

Shen Shuzhao walked over, and then Wei Yang pointed to the inside and said: "The workmanship of this piano is exquisite, as long as you start to play the piano, the machinery inside will continue to operate until all the blood is poured out. ”

Then she tried to pluck the strings, and sure enough, the inside of the piano began to work.

Shen Shuzhao was surprised by the subtlety of the technique: "It seems that those scratches on the outside are just to scare us, and after they are really disassembled, they can only be revealed in their original form." ”

"From this, it can be seen that the matter of the blood qin is indeed man-made."

"We can go directly to the Long Live Hall to return to the emperor," after Shen Shuzhao finished speaking, a thought suddenly flashed in her heart, she seemed to remember something, "Wait, we should need to confirm another thing before that." ”

"What?"

"You come with me." Shen Shuzhao pulled her and quickly walked to the side pavilion outside, and after leaving the main hall, the sound of rain outside was clearly visible again, and it was heavier than the previous drizzle.

"Where are you going?"

"It won't be too far."

The rain splashed down from the corner of the eaves, and there was a splash next to the hurried footsteps of the two, and the side pavilion was very secluded, and a few green plants that bloomed in the corner of the wall fell in the heavy rain, without a trace of life, only a chill. After walking here, Wei Yang quickly understood what Shen Shuzhao was going to do, and Shen Shuzhao continued to pull her to a small pavilion.

The rainy sky was lifeless, and the only sound left for the long corridor was the sound of the two of them stepping on the plank, which was quickly drowned out by the rain.

"You go slower." From behind him, Wei Yang's gentle voice admonished, "...... The road here is wet. ”

Shen Shuzhao held Wei Yang's cold hand in her palm, but her heart slowly became warmer, for some reason, she was always very greedy for the time she spent alone with her, even in the wet and cold rain, as long as the two of them stayed away from the harem full of struggles, it was all right.

Coming to the pavilion, Shen Shuzhao led Wei Yang into it with the memory of the palace banquet in her previous life, and sure enough, it was full of many things to be performed at the palace banquet, including for throwing pots, pen, ink, paper, and inkstone for poetry and painting, and piano for playing. ”

Wei Yang looked at this guqin, which did not have any abnormalities, and it was very ordinary and inconspicuous in the corner. Shen Shuzhao sat down, she put the horns prepared next to her fingers, and then looked at Wei Yang: "I guess maybe it's more than that, maybe I'm too worried, but maybe...... That's what was supposed to happen. ”

After speaking, she began to pluck the strings, playing the same song that was performed at the palace banquet that day, Wei Yang listened quietly on the side, and at the same time leaned lightly on the pillar with her hands together, she stared at Shen Shuzhao, who was already immersed in it, and did not say a word more. The sound of the piano is exciting, just like that day.

Shen Shuzhao began to sing the second half of the lyrics, and the beauty on the opposite side not only showed a look of attentive listening, but also a little sadness that briefly surfaced, presumably she understood her.

In the remote pavilion, the sound of the piano and the rain blend together, tactfully bearing the death, and it sounds unique in the bamboo forest.

After a while, the music gradually came to an end, Shen Shuzhao's heart suddenly hung up, she observed the changes in the body, and played more carefully under her fingers, and suddenly, all seven strings burst into pieces—and then a huge crack broke from the end to the end, as if someone had split it in half out of thin air with a knife! The body of the instrument made an extremely abrasive cracking sound! Even the people sitting in the distance at the palace banquet felt harsh and unbearable when they heard it.

Shen Shuzhao was startled by the piano breaking in two, but in the next second, Wei Yang quickly appeared beside her and asked, "Are you hurt?" ”

"I'm fine." Shen Shuzhao shook her head and replied, and then she soothed her chest, although it was undulating, but the stone in her heart had been put down, she looked at the piano for a long time, and only spoke after a while-

"I knew there was a problem with the piano...... More than one. ”

Wei Yang stared at the cracked piano in front of him, silently.

Shen Shuzhao sneered: "It seems that this prophecy has been used by many well-intentioned people, and sure enough, the women in this harem will not be so simple." Last time, when Concubine Yuan entered the palace, Concubine Xi slipped and framed her, this time I entered the palace and Gu Concubine was favored, and others must be even more unable to sit still, if you don't make a move at this time, how long will you have to stay? ”

Wei Yang said: "Now the only thing left is to find the answer from Qin Tianjian. ”

Shen Shuzhao took off the horns on his fingers, "I want to see what kind of vicious faces those who dare to come up with such poisonous schemes under the noses of the Queen Mother and the Emperor and dare to frame Gu Concubine by the prophecy of Qin Tianjian!" ”

Wei Yang squatted down at this time and picked up one of the fragments on the ground, she looked at it carefully, "The craftsmanship of this qin is also unusual, I'm afraid that there will be no more than three people in the entire Wei Dynasty who can do this kind of process." ”

"It must be a person with a strong family background who can afford to hire such craftsmen, the Xiao family and the Xu family are very likely, let's go back to the emperor, and ask him about Wu Zhu's injury last night."

Shen Shuzhao said that Wei Yang also bowed his head, so the two of them left Ganquan Palace together, the rain became heavier and heavier, she couldn't help but hug Wei Yang around her, because Ganquan Palace has become a forbidden place for everyone to avoid, so even the Praetorian Guards on the surrounding roads have become fewer, and it is also raining cold, which is even colder. Standing halfway up the mountain road, Shen Shuzhao suddenly saw a long line of concubines on the road in front of Changle Palace, walking unhurriedly towards the main gate of the palace, she wondered, who would come to visit the Queen Mother so early? Could it be Shen Zhuangzhao?

"Let's go, if you stay any longer, the rain will be even stronger." Wei Yang said as he stood behind her with an umbrella.

"Hmm." Shen Shuzhao returned to Wei Yang's side, grabbed her hand, and then the two walked in the opposite direction. The palace of the Six Palaces stood silently behind them, farther and farther away from their backs, until it disappeared......

The mountains are full of clouds and mist, clear and peaceful.

At this time, if you look down from the Ganquan Palace, a fairyland on earth located at the peak, all the way through the layers of smoke and clouds, and the light rain, the Changle Palace standing in the harem of the imperial city looks so small, it seems to be shrouded in the rain and worried, and there is no way out.

In fact, Shen Shuzhao's guess was not wrong, the concubine's public opinion was the concubine Shen Zhuangzhao's, and she was summoned by the Queen Mother.

Shen Zhuangzhao sat on the sedan chair nervously, she didn't have any confidence in the Queen Mother's intention to call her here, and she couldn't grasp the Queen Mother's temperament, so there was nothing else she could do except guess.

The car stopped at the door of the Yongshou Palace, Shen Zhuangzhao walked down from the sedan chair, and then walked to the palace, Gao Dezhong waited at the door of the Queen Mother's dormitory, Shen Zhuangzhao said respectfully to him: "Zhonggui, please inform the Queen Mother that the palace is coming." ”

Gao Dezhong's face didn't smile, "Concubine Yuan, the Queen Mother is waiting for you inside, and she specially instructed that there is no need for any notification, please go in directly with the slave." ”

"There are nobles in labor."

Shen Zhuang Zhao followed him in after thanking him, and on the way in the past, she remembered her mother, and then remembered the Shen family...... It's something she's been paying for since birth, but when it comes to conflict with herself, how does she choose? Shen Zhuangzhao bit his lower lip...... She didn't know what was waiting for her.
