"Ling'er, in the next few days, you can rest well. You have lost too much today, you must rest well, otherwise it will hurt the fundamentals. The man gently picked up Leling, put her on the bed, and covered her with a quilt.

"Then what happens next" Leling wanted to get up a little uneasily, but was suddenly pressed back to the bed.

After the man helped Le Ling tuck the corners of the quilt, he said lightly: "Leave the rest to me." ”

"Hmm." Hearing this, Le Ling closed her eyes with peace of mind.

The man took one last look at Xiahou Leling, took the puppet and silk thread on the low table, and went out silently again from the window that he had just entered, and no one noticed.

In Ningshou Palace, after King Xiang received the summons, he immediately rushed to the palace of the Empress Dowager.

At Long Zeye's suggestion, he walked to the bedside of the Empress Dowager, carefully checked the Empress Dowager's situation, and finally frowned, and said to Long Zeye: "Brother Huang, but you can also see that the Imperial Grandmother seems to be witchcraft?" ”

Long Zeye nodded slightly. Although he didn't know anything about witchcraft, he had also seen records of witchcraft, and he already had suspicions after checking the pulse of the Empress Dowager just now, especially after Banyun told them that they had only chased the cloak, which deepened his suspicions.

But after all, he had never encountered real witchcraft before, so he urgently summoned Long Zening to come and check. Because Long Zening had traveled to various countries to study, and even went to the frontier land, specializing in things like Gu art and witchcraft.

"Brother Wang, but there is a solution?" Long Zeye looked at Long Zening and asked solemnly.

"Brother Huang, forgive my brother for offending, dare to ask the emperor's grandmother who is in the palace with a good manner, why did she fall into witchcraft?" Long Zening had unconcealed doubts on his face, and said in a hurry, "It stands to reason." The imperial grandmother worships the Buddha all the year round, even if someone wants to use witchcraft to harm her, it should not be effective for the imperial grandmother. If it's a poor ability, it should still be counterattacked! ”

Heard Long Zening say this. Long Zeye couldn't help but be a little puzzled. Just now, he was only thinking about who did it, thinking about how to restore the Empress Dowager, but he had never thought about why there was such a result now.

"Ye Yan, bring Aunt Hebi up." Long Zeye thought that if he wanted to know what was going on before and after, maybe no one would be clearer than this person who had been serving by the Empress Dowager's side.

Not long after, Aunt Hebi was brought up. Because of her different identities, she was only confined to a room in the side hall just now. He wasn't tied up like the rest of the minions.

As soon as He Bi heard that the Empress Dowager had an accident, she wanted to come in and take a look at it as soon as possible, but she was guarded. Now the emperor summoned her, and as soon as she came in, she hurriedly bowed, and then went to the bedside of the queen mother. Seeing the Queen Mother lying on the bed with blank eyes, He Bi suddenly cried.

"Alright, now I have something to ask you, and you must answer it truthfully." Long Zeye glanced at He Bi impatiently and said majestically.

"Yes. The slave must tell the truth what she knows. When Aunt Hebi heard this, she immediately knelt in front of the emperor. Although she usually doesn't have to kneel when she is pardoned, but now this kind of thing, she can be regarded as a guilty body. After all, the Empress Dowager has become what she is now, and she is the most derelict in her duties. Even if the emperor wanted his own life in a fit of anger, he had nothing to say.

"In the past two days, is there anything different about the imperial grandmother? Or have you met someone before? Long Zeye looked at He Bi, who was kneeling on the ground, and didn't mean to let her get up, but asked directly.

"Back to the emperor, there is nothing unusual about the Queen Mother in the past two days. It's that I slept for a long time this afternoon, and I would wake up in the past halfway through the hour, but today I didn't wake up until three o'clock in the morning. Little by little, Hebi recalls things that are different from today. Be as detailed as possible.

The slave maid thought that the weather was cold, and the Empress Dowager was more sleepy than before. did not wake up the Empress Dowager. After getting up, the slave maid thought that the Empress Dowager would pass on dinner. I never thought about it, so I directly sent someone to the imperial study to call the emperor up. After that, the emperor will know. ”

After listening to He Bi's words, Long Zeye had basically concluded in his heart that something should have happened this afternoon. Although the imperial grandmother is old, her living habits are very good, even if she sleeps for a while, it is impossible to sleep for such a long time.

"Who has the imperial grandmother seen in the past two days?" After listening to this, Long Zening came to a conclusion that was basically the same as Long Zeye, and now he had to see if there were any suspicious people.

He Bi thought for a long time, and finally shook his head, and said to Long Zeye and Long Zening: "Back to the emperor and the prince, because it is cold outside, the empress dowager has never been out of Ningshou Palace, and she does not see guests on weekdays. ”

"If you think about it again, hasn't the imperial grandmother really seen anyone? Or has Ningshou Palace ever come in these days? Long Zening asked a little unwillingly.

Although witchcraft is powerful, if the person who performs witchcraft has never approached the Empress Dowager at all, then no matter how powerful witchcraft is, it is impossible to do so.

Hearing this, He Bi lowered his head again and thought carefully. Suddenly, something seemed to flash through his mind, and he hurriedly spoke: "Your Majesty, Lord Wang, although the Empress Dowager has not seen anyone in the past two days, but a few days ago, Ai Guifei brought the princess of Dongshang Kingdom to Ningshou Palace to sit for a while. ”

"People from the Eastern Commercial Kingdom?" Long Zeye and Long Zening looked at He Bi almost at the same time.

"Yes, Princess Leling of Dongshang Kingdom did come to Ningshou Palace with Concubine Ai." He Bi replied affirmatively again, "At that time, the Empress Dowager didn't want to see Ai Guifei, but because of the princess of Dongshang Kingdom, the Empress Dowager still met them. ”

"Ador?" Long Zeye snorted coldly in his heart, it seems that this woman's concubine is too idle, and she just made an appointment to meet the princess of Dongshang Kingdom privately, and she actually dared to come to Ningshou Palace. It's really her father, do you really think you don't dare to do anything to her!

"What did they do when they came here?" Compared with Long Zeye's anger, Long Zening was relatively calmer, after all, Ai Duoer had nothing to do with him, and the person who often faced a disgusted face was not himself.

"Back to the prince's words, Ai Guifei and Princess Leling didn't stay long, they just came to say hello to the Empress Dowager, and left after sitting for less than a stick of incense." He Bi thought about the events of the previous day and replied carefully.

"Brother Huang, whether this matter has anything to do with the princess of Dongshang Kingdom remains to be verified. The most important thing at the moment is to save the emperor's grandmother first. After thinking about it, Long Zening said seriously towards Long Zeye.

"Then according to the words of the royal brother, but what is the way to save the emperor's grandmother?"

"Brother Hui, the younger brother is ashamed, he has only studied witchcraft and has not studied witchcraft, so there is no way for his brother." Long Zening glanced at the Empress Dowager on the bed, and then said, "However, the younger brother heard that there is a person who understands witchcraft by Prime Minister Ai's side, and the imperial brother may let him give it a try." ”

Originally, this matter could not be passed on, and it would be better not to spread it. But Long Zening knew that according to his imperial brother's temper, he would not be threatened. In particular, this matter also involves the people of the Eastern Shang Kingdom, so he will definitely try his best to find a capable person who can break this witchcraft.

"Hmph, this old puppet had better pray that his people can cure the Empress Dowager, otherwise it will be up to me to clean them up!" After Long Zeye finished speaking, he threw off his robe and walked towards the outer hall.

"Ye Yan, pass on my will, let Ai Gaoyi bring the strategists who know witchcraft and Gu art around him to Ningshou Palace to treat the Empress Dowager. Don't be quiet. ”

"Fan Chengfu, go to Huaqing Palace, and Concubine Xuanai will come to Ningshou Palace."

Ye Yan and Fan Chengfu immediately left Ningshou Palace after receiving the order, and hurried to where they should go. Even the most stupid person can see that the emperor is in a very bad mood now, and he may be angry at any time.

"Banyun, go to the Dongshang Kingdom Palace and carefully check this Princess Leling of the Dongshang Kingdom."

"Brother Huang thinks that this matter will be controlled by Prince Yan of the Eastern Shang Kingdom behind his back?" After everyone left, Long Zening stepped forward and asked lightly.

"What does Brother Wang think?" Long Zeye asked without answering.

As if he had guessed that Long Zeye would ask himself this, Long Zening only paused slightly, and then said: "Brother Chen thinks that this matter is more or less inseparable from him, at least he should know about it." ”

Ordinary people may not know enough about Xiahou Yan, but Long Zening knows him very well, at least better than many people. Once upon a time, they were also really friends for a while, but at that time, there was no identity pressed on each other, and some were just two people who were attracted to each other.

"Brother Wang knows, what are the conditions they want to exchange for the emperor's grandmother?" Long Zeye was noncommittal to Long Zening's words, and turned to Long Zening with a smile.

At this time, Long Zening realized that he really didn't seem to ask, what was the purpose of their doing this?

"His quid pro quo is that I will decree that Jian Ning will live for three more days." Long Zeye squinted his eyes and said dangerously, "And it was a man who negotiated with me at that time, so at least there were two of them." ”

"They're doing this for that Jian Ning?" This time, Long Zening was finally no longer as calm as he was just now. He always thought that they accused the Empress Dowager because they wanted the imperial brother to agree to some more generous conditions, but he didn't expect that they just wanted Jian Ning to live for three more days. Did they wait for that death-free gold medal to save Jian Ning's life?

"That's why I'm even more suspicious of the side of the Eastern Shang Kingdom, especially Xiahou Yan." Long Zeye said without hesitation, "But my people have been monitoring Xiahou Yan all the time, he hasn't made any special moves in the past two days, and no special people have appeared by his side."

"Has the imperial brother ever thought that it would be better to agree to their request? Such a request is inconsequential to the royal brother, is it? Long Zening suddenly looked at Long Zeye and asked seriously. (To be continued) R580
