Chapter 20: Witchcraft Framed, Exhausted to Face
Qin Yuan stroked the corners of the quilt at this time, and suddenly saw Zhang Dehai and Aunt Lan whispering in a low voice, and then asked, "What are you two talking about?" ”
Aunt Lan and Zhang Dehai suddenly stopped whispering after hearing this, Aunt Lan carefully raised her eyes and looked at Qin Yuan, her expression was a little serious, she stepped forward and whispered, "Zhang Dehai said that someone secretly came to the master's bedroom last night. ”
Qin Yuan was slightly shocked in her heart, knowing that it was not an auspicious event, so she hurriedly asked Zhang Dehai tightly, "Who is it?" ”
Zhang Dehai replied, "It's the palace maid Chun Tao, the slave didn't do anything last night because he was afraid of startling the snake, and the slave hurriedly came to the dormitory at dawn today to check carefully, and then found this in the secret drawer under the master's bed." ”
As soon as Zhang Dehai's voice fell, he took out a dark brown sandalwood brocade box from the depths of the soft couch, "Master, this is it, the slave is afraid of being discovered, so he specially hid it." Qin Yuan took the brocade box and opened it, and was shocked when she glanced at it, there was a white puppet in the brocade box, with the name and birth date of the auspicious concubine written on it, and it was full of several silver needles, this is a voodoo doll!
Qin Yuan paused, a hint of indifference flashed on her haggard face, "It seems that Concubine Xiang can't bear it anymore, Aunt Lan, throw it into the furnace and burn it." ”
Aunt Lan took the puppet, glanced at the same shock, her eyes were full of resentment, and she took it to the stove and threw it in angrily, Qin Yuan watched the puppet burn and gradually turn black until it burned away, and suddenly felt a little uneasy, "This concubine and Xianggui concubine have no grievances and no hatred, why does she want to harm me so much?" ”
Aunt Lan said with great disgust, "The master doesn't know, yesterday Xianggui Concubine was disrespectful to you in public when she was in the province, and she had been removed from the power of the assistant Yuxiu Palace by the emperor's decree, how could she not hate the master at this moment?" Hearing this, Qin Yuan's puzzled frown on his forehead gradually dispersed, and Zhang Dehai interjected at this time, "Witchcraft is a big taboo in the palace, and once discovered, it is a capital crime!" Xiang Guifei obviously wants to put the master to death, and the master can't sit still. ”
Qin Yuan gasped heavily, now that she had just woken up, and encountered such an annoying thing, she suddenly felt extremely tired, and before she could come up with an idea, she only listened to the eunuch outside the door, "Concubine Shu has arrived, and Concubine Xiang has arrived." ”
Qin Yuan naturally guessed their intention to come, although she was unhappy in her heart, but her face was still indifferent, and she saw the two of them walking in with a smile in front of her, and lowered her head slightly, "The concubine asks for peace for the concubine, and the concubine asks for peace for the concubine, the concubine is unwell, and please don't blame the concubine for not giving the salute." ”
Although Concubine Shu was displeased, her face was indeed a meaningless gesture, "My sister has just woken up, her body is weak, so you don't need to pay attention to so much etiquette, this southern ginseng is a great tonic, and now it is very good for my sister's body." Xiang Guifei also smiled and echoed on the side, "Sister heard that Sister Hui woke up, so she hurriedly came to visit her sister with Concubine Shu. ”
Qin Yuan couldn't help but sneer when she looked at the extremely enthusiastic attitude of the two, especially the hint of villain's triumph in the eyes of Xiang Guifei, which made Qin Yuan spurn it to the extreme.
Qin Yuan still pretended to be extremely happy, "Aunt Lan take it, it's really Xie Lu Xie Shufei and Xianggui Concubine, the sisters can't help but be a little spurned when they care so much, pregnant with my sister, it really makes my sister extremely moved, Zhang Dehai hurriedly took two chairs over, how can there be a reason to let the sisters stand." ”
After the two sat down, Concubine Shu said gently, "When my sister fainted yesterday, it really scared the palace, fortunately, Imperial Doctor Zhu has excellent medical skills, and my sister will have to pay attention to her body in the future, and if she is unwell, she doesn't have to go to ask for peace." Qin Yuan replied with a smile, "The weather suddenly turned cold, the body is indeed a little unbearable, yesterday morning I just felt a little dizzy, who wants to save peace when they will faint, it is really annoying the two sisters to worry." ”
Xiang Guifei smiled and said, "My sister doesn't need to be so polite, my sister has just woken up now, but I have to recuperate well, this tranquilizing incense is specially developed by the hospital for this concubine, it has the effect of calming the nerves and helping sleep, my sister uses it very well, and my sister will give my sister a good place to look at her." After Concubine Xiang finished speaking, her eyes wandered around Qin Yuan's bed, as if she was looking for a place to hang soothing incense.
Qin Yuan smiled lightly, "My sister will order her subordinates to put it next to the bed in a while, and my sister doesn't need to bother so much." Concubine Xiang hurriedly refused, "That's not good, don't worry about letting your subordinates be sisters, don't waste this soothing incense in vain." At this time, Concubine Shu echoed with a smile, "Concubine Hui will follow Concubine Xiang, and it is also her heart." Qin Yuan just smiled slightly and let Xiang Guifei watch the drama performed by the two.
At this time, Xiang Guifei's eyes suddenly fell on the dark grid drawer in the corner of the bed, this drawer is in the corner, so it is an extremely difficult place to find, Xiang Guifei's eyes lit up and said, "Hey, this place is good, put it in the dark grid drawer, that is, it is easy to take and not obstruct the eyes, so put it here." There was a faint hint of excitement in Xiang Guifei's eyes, and the corners of the concubine's mouth on the side had been raised obliquely proudly, Xiang Guifei squatted down and stretched out her hand to gently open the dark grid drawer, and suddenly froze in place, the dark grid drawer was empty, there was nothing, Shu Fei saw this, the evil smile on the corner of her mouth disappeared instantly, and turned into astonishment instead.
The corners of Qin Yuan's mouth were slightly curved with deep meaning, and she looked at the auspicious concubine who was squatting on the ground and said, "What's wrong?" Is my sister not satisfied with this place? Xiang Guifei forced herself to bend the corners of her mouth and smiled extremely unnaturally, "No, no." Xiang Guifei put the tranquilizing incense in the drawer without a look in her eyes, turned around and sat back and forth, her eyes turning back and forth in her sockets, and it was difficult to hide her panic for a while.
Concubine Shu instantly turned into a tender smile, "That sister is resting, and the palace will not disturb." When he got up, he saw the residue of burning cloth in the stove, and then gave Xianggui Concubine a look, and the two of them left the dormitory one after the other.
Aunt Lan was extremely disgusted and said, "Phew! The weasel gave the chicken a New Year's greeting, if Zhang Dehai hadn't discovered it in time, the master must have been framed at this time, and the master couldn't let them be so arrogant. Qin Yuan frowned, feeling extremely annoyed at the moment, "That's it, the two of them are in a hurry now, they must know that this matter has been exposed, and they don't dare to make any more moves in recent days." ”
Zhang Dehai was suddenly slightly surprised and said, "Is the master so good at giving up?" Concubine Shu and Concubine Xiang came together today, which means that this matter is their conspiracy, Concubine Shu is the master of our Yonghua Palace, if she can't tolerate you, it will be sad in the future. Qin Yuan took a deep breath, lay down in annoyance, covered the quilt and said, "This concubine is tired, I want to sleep for a while, Aunt Lan put down the bed curtain, the bright concubine can't sleep." ”
Seeing Qin Yuan's attitude, Zhang Dehai and Aunt Lan didn't dare to say anything, Aunt Lan answered and lowered the bed curtain, "Master, you rest first, the slave and maid are waiting outside, you just wake up and call the slave and maid." ”
Qin Yuan also ignored Aunt Lan, just closed her eyes, and the day of the Queen Mother's birthday ceremony was in front of her, and the picture of her and Qingyu's eyes facing each other, Qin Yuan hurriedly opened her eyes, her breathing was obviously short, and she didn't know how she spent her time in the month of entering the palace, as if a year had passed, it felt very long.
This month, the emperor doesn't come often, and he stays alone in this Jinhua Palace, and he feels extremely lonely, Qingyu seems to have taken root in his heart, and the more he restrains himself from thinking about it, the more he can't control it.
Thinking of the end of the birthday ceremony, her father's words made Qin Yuan's heart even colder, she knew what her father's temperament was, but she didn't know that she was so ruthless, just because Qin Ling lost power, lest she affect herself, so she asked her to take poison and kill herself, is this what a father should do? Seeing Qin Ling's today, it is like seeing your own tomorrow, the palace is cheating, and if you can't keep it, you will be defeated one day, but will your father be the same?
Thinking of this, Qin Yuan couldn't help but cinch the corners of the quilt, why did she want to enter the palace? Why did she give up her true love and come to this place that disgusted her? Thinking about her blindness, tears of grievance and despair burst out of her eyes, she buried herself deep in the quilt, cried silently, and cried tired, so she fell asleep......
