Xu Huaiyu opened his lips as if he had made up his mind: "Last time, after finishing the phoenix vein, Weichen felt strange, and after going back to study it carefully, he finally made a discovery, but he was not sure; I paid attention when I took the pulse, and now I am at least ninety percent sure that the so-called infertility of the queen mother is caused by man. ”

"Human-induced?" Rao has always been bold, and she was shocked when she heard the news.

Xu Huaiyu nodded solemnly: "The queen's Shimen acupoint was sealed by acupuncture, which is the reason why the veins are not smooth and the phoenix body is infertile." ”

"Who did it?" Dou Lianyi exclaimed again.

Xu Huaiyu asked tentatively: "Niangniang, who do you think in the palace is the most unwilling for the queen to give birth to a prince?" ”

Her heart moved, could it be...... Emperor.

As soon as the thought came out, the more Dou Lianyi thought about it, the more he felt that it was.

Xuan Lili has always been afraid of the power of the Yue family, and marrying the daughter of the Yue family as his wife is also forced by the queen mother's will, if he guesses correctly, the emperor and the queen mother must have reached some kind of compromise.

The emperor promised to marry Yuebi as the queen, but the queen was not allowed to give birth, perhaps, she was also included in this compromise, so he was able to return to the harem without any hindrance.

"This matter is rotten in the stomach, not a word is allowed to leak, otherwise I am afraid that you will not know how you died if you die." Her eyes sank, and the initial suspicion was precipitated into a coldness, and then she commanded sharply.

The more you know about the secrets of the palace, the more dangerous it is.

Xu Huaiyu naturally knew the powerful relationship inside, and his heart sank, and he immediately assured solemnly: "Concubine Li, don't worry, Weichen will never reveal half a sentence." ”

"That's good, you go down first." Dou Ripple softened his expression and made him retreat.

Why did the queen pretend to be sick?

She couldn't figure it out, but one thing was certain, the queen must have a plan, and the opposite of the plot is very likely to be herself.

"Flying snow."

No, she can't sit still.

Before the words fell, the light and shadow flashed in front of her, and a cold woman in a black strong suit had already appeared in front of her, waiting for the show.

"You go to the middle palace to find out, what the hell is the queen doing? As soon as there is a situation, come back quickly. Dou Lianyi ordered, and the woman replied with a "yes" and disappeared.

Dou Lianyi then raised his voice to summon several henchmen who were guarding outside.

"Master, but what's on your mind?" A few people came in response, Su Yun was more careful, and when she saw that she frowned lightly and seemed worried, she asked intimately.

Her fingers, which were as tender as green onions, subconsciously rolled the knots under the tassels, and she groaned and asked, "If the queen pretends to be sick, in your opinion, what will be the purpose?" ”

"Then I don't need to ask, I must be trying to deal with you." Xiuzhu quickly interjected.

Dou Lianyi looked at Su Yun inquiringly, and the latter nodded slightly: "The slave also thinks it is very likely, Niangniang, you should be careful." ”

Malinger?

Deal?

The two words alternately flashed through my mind.

"By the way, master, when you went to the middle palace to visit the queen's mother, the second lady came, saying that the emperor sent her to pass the word, and I am afraid that I will come later today." Xiaoyingzi seized the opportunity to return.

Hearing this, the jade fingers that kept twisting the knots suddenly paused, and Dou Lianyi asked as if asking for verification: "Has the second lady been here?" What did she do besides the word? If you think about it, you can't miss every detail. ”

Su Yun looked at it thoughtfully.

Xiao Yingzi didn't understand why the master was so interested in the movements of the second miss, but thinking that there must be a reason, she recalled carefully at the moment: "The second miss is very polite today, and after coming in and passing the word, she said that she was looking for the master for some private matters, so the slave asked the second miss to sit and wait, and asked the second miss if she drank tea, the second miss waved her hand and said no, so that the slave did not have to stay aside, and the slave went out; After a while, the second lady came out, saying that there were few people there for the emperor and that she couldn't wait any longer, so she hurriedly left while talking. ”

My sister had come, and she had been in the house alone for a while, enough to do something.

Dou Sister-in-law, I hope my sister is wrong to blame you, Dou Lianyi's eyes were full of turmoil, and the red lips that were not dotted were gently opened, and with an order, Xiuzhu and the three of them immediately took action.

……

The next day, a spiritual archmage who served the royal family was invited into the palace, and a ritual began in the midst of uneasiness among the people.

The Queen Mother and the concubines of the palace gathered in the main hall of Kunning Palace to wait for the news, and from time to time people from the palace came out to report the progress.

"The spiritual mage put on a black background colorful robe, painted a large circle on a white background on his back, and the circle was written with big Dharma characters, holding a copper bell in one hand and a wind wheel magic weapon in the other, jumping around in front of the queen's bed."

After a while, the palace man went and returned.

"The spiritual mage holds a sword in one hand, a rune paper is hung on the sword, and his mouth keeps spitting fire."

……

With the continuous reporting of the palace people, the atmosphere in the main hall became more and more tense, and at first there were three and three twos of each other, and finally all the atmosphere did not dare to come out.

"Report, words appear on the rune paper." A palace man ran out and shouted excitedly.

Everyone was shocked, and the heavenly machine finally appeared.

"Tell me, what's written on it?" The Empress Dowager Xiaoren asked sharply.

The palace man realized that he was so excited that he didn't see anything clearly and hurriedly came out to report, so he quickly turned around, and after a while, he grabbed a yellow rune paper and came out.

"Please take a look at the Queen Mother." The palace people knelt down on the talisman paper and presented it to the queen mother who sat in it.

The Empress Dowager Xiaoren took it, quickly opened it and took a look, her hand trembled, and her face changed in an uproar.

Everyone held their breath and stared at the old man and the paper in her hand, both uneasy and curious, not knowing what was written on it, which made the Empress Dowager Xiaoren, who had seen the wind and waves, so shocked.

A few bloody words on the paper couldn't help but make the old man angry.

To the southeast, witchcraft is present.

Twenty years ago, it was these six words that almost cost him his life, and he had to use the Danshu iron coupon given to the family by the first emperor to avoid death, but he also lived in the cold palace for 20 years.

"Queen Mother, what is written on it, can you let the concubines take a look?" Dou Lianyi hid a sneer on his lips and asked quietly.

The Empress Dowager Xiaoren finally made up her mind to turn over the rune paper, and a few bloody words came into everyone's eyes, and she was so frightened that she exclaimed, don't look over and dare not look at it.

"Southeast, witchcraft? What does this mean? Du Wanying proposed the practice, and naturally she was more enthusiastic than others, chanting the six words above, but she didn't understand the meaning.

There is also a lot of discussion below, most of them are young concubines, and they don't know much about it, some guess that they are haunted by witches, and some guess that a demon called witchcraft is attached to the queen mother's body.

"Witchcraft is a taboo in the palace, who is so bold and dares to use such a bad means to harm the queen?" Xiao Liyun is the old man in the palace in the end, and she knows something, "Southeast?" Isn't that where Guan Sui Palace is? ”

As soon as the words came out, all eyes were cast in one direction.

Although many people don't know what witchcraft is, but at this moment, they all know that it must be bad, otherwise the Queen Mother will not be frightened to this point, and this bad thing is hooked with the most favored concubine in the palace.

"This is impossible, although the concubine is young, she also knows that witchcraft has always been a taboo in the palace, so how can she do such a thing that harms people and is not good?" Dou Lianyi's face turned pale, got up and knelt down in front of the Queen Mother, and loudly defended himself.

Du Wanying roughly understood, although she didn't know how to do it exactly, but she must have made a harmful play, how could she miss such a good opportunity, "Will the Buddha's prompt be wrong?" As for the disadvantage of others, I am afraid that it is not tenable, since you and the palace are in charge of the harem, they have begun to play prestige, pulling a faction to fight a faction, and there have long been people behind the discussion that the concubine covets the back position, the palace does not believe it first, and now it seems that the evidence is conclusive and cannot be denied. ”

"The concubine is frightened, the queen mother, you know the concubine's personality best, ask the queen mother to learn from it." Fine beads of sweat appeared on Dou Lianyi's forehead, this accusation was too vicious, he couldn't help but move in place, and asked angrily: "Concubine Wan, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, this is a matter of losing your head, why are you malicious to slander me?" ”

Xiao Liyun on the opposite side snorted slightly: "Concubine Li, why are you in such a hurry?" Is it slanderous, and won't it be clear when you search the palace? After speaking, he bowed to the head and asked for his life: "The concubine is not talented, I am willing to take the palace people to search, and ask the queen mother for permission." ”

"Concubine Li, if you confess now, the mourning family can open up for the sake of the prince in the womb, what do you have to say?" The Empress Dowager Xiaoren has suffered deeply, and naturally knows that once the evidence is found, whether she does it or not, she will pay a painful price, and she really doesn't want such a thing to happen again.

She straightened her body, calmly faced the old man's stern eyes, and said word by word: "The concubine has nothing to say." ”

The Empress Dowager Xiaoren's fingers on the armrest tightened.

"Hmph, dare to be stubborn when you die, the Queen Mother, you don't have to be merciful to people like her who are vicious, the concubines implore you to go to search together, please give an order to the Queen Mother." Du Wanying can't wait.

The noble old man sitting on the top seat sighed, and finally made up his mind and waved his hand vigorously: "Go." ”

Xiao and Du's second concubines couldn't hold it anymore, and the Queen Mother gave an order, turned around and gave the order.

"You sit back, no matter what, the prince in the stomach matters." Empress Dowager Xiaoren's eyes turned to her with complicated eyes, whether it was for the sake of the friendship here, or for the only bloodline of the royal family, the old man didn't want it to be her.

But the Buddha's manifestation cannot be doubted.

Bottom, Xia Ruotong broke out in a cold sweat, and Li Meiren secretly prayed in her heart that Concubine Li, who was like a benefactor, could escape this catastrophe.

As for the others, they are quiet on the surface, but they are all happy in their hearts, if they can bring down Concubine Li Niangniang this time, the pattern of the harem's exclusive favor will be broken, and their spring may come.

In short, some people are anxious, some are ecstatic, some are apprehensive, and some are impatient.

Finally, Xiao and Concubine Du, who led the team to search the palace, came back.
