The snow between heaven and earth is intermittent, although it is still daytime, under the thick clouds, Chang'an City looks gloomy and gray.

Not long after, when Emperor Liu Che, who had retracted his thoughts, ordered Han Yan to open the things he had searched for in the queen's bedroom, he felt a little strange and didn't understand what the two small puppets made of paulownia wood presented in front of him were for.

After Liu Che listened to Duan Li's informant, he ordered Han Yan to take the guards to the place he had seen in person, and carefully look for it to see if there was anything unspeakable.

As a result, after they went, they came back soon, and sure enough, they found something, buried it outside the side door of the queen's bedroom, and held it in a wooden box, Han Yan didn't dare to open it privately, he carefully held it in front of the emperor, opened the wooden box according to the instructions, unwrapped the red satin, and saw these two strange puppets.

The facial features of the little puppet are carved very vividly, which shows that the carver has excellent knife skills, and the emperor hurriedly glanced at it and did not pay much attention to it. When the queen was young, she was very fond of some messy little things, and he knew that. It's just that he didn't expect that at her current age, she would still hide these things so preciously, which was beyond his expectations.

He waved his hand and motioned for Han Yan to take it, compared to these inconsequential things, what he cared about most was the queen's attitude. If she could explain to herself what was going on with the man's clothes, maybe ...... I will think again about whether I should be so ruthless to her.

"Your Majesty, you should take a good look at it, the slave feels that this matter is very strange."

The voice is very sharp, with Ah Mei, ordinary people will feel a little sick to their stomachs when they hear it, but the people in the palace have long been accustomed to it, because the person who spoke was the eunuch, the deputy head Duan Li.

"What do you mean by that?" Whistleblowers, although despised from the bottom of their hearts, are indispensable to their masters, because, at some point, such a person is useful.

"Your Majesty, the minions can't say why, they just feel a little suspicious. Because when I saw the palace people burying things there, they were sneaky. That's why the minions remembered it. ”

Hearing him say this, the emperor's face really changed again, and he was about to take the wooden box from Han Yan's hand again, and when he took a closer look, a hand had already reached over from the side and took away the pair of puppets.

I don't know when the queen mother came over, just one glance, and her face has changed greatly. She couldn't help but say in a lost voice: "Emperor, this puppet's eyebrows and eyes are so similar to you!"

Her words were so loud that everyone nearby could hear them clearly, and even Empress Chen, who had been sitting alone with her back in the pavilion, turned her head and glanced at this side, her face a little confused.

Emperor Liu Che was stunned in his heart, and when he looked at it, the wooden man looked like a man and a woman, and the man's facial features were really similar to his own, and even his falcon-like nose was carved in a shapely, very vivid.

Suddenly, a long-lost tenderness came to his heart, and the first thing he thought of was, could it be that Gillian carved it by herself when she was bored because she missed herself? But I've never heard of her doing such delicate work before?

However, the Queen Mother's words below shattered his conjecture, and everything was not what he imagined!

"It's all wrong, it's all in vain. Emperor! There are words engraved on the back of this, what does this mean? ”

The puppet of paulownia wood is very smooth, and when it is turned over, it is indeed engraved with these eight small seal characters on the back. If you don't look closely, you won't be able to spot it at all.

"Everything is wrong, everything is useless"! The emperor took it in his hand, looked at it again and again, muttered it to himself, and his face was cloudy. It's not a good word, it seems to be a mantra or something, and although I don't know what it means, it has no good intentions.

"Queen, did you do this? Tell me why you made this puppet in the image of the emperor and engraved such unlucky words! What is it for? ”

The queen sank like water behind her, and asked sharply. She no longer has the smile she used to have for the queen, she has secretly held a grudge against the Dou family for many years, and today she finally doesn't have to endure it anymore.

"I don't know! It's not my thing, don't come and ask me. Since you have such great magical powers, you can check it out for yourself. ”

Empress Chen didn't even stand up, the mother and son who relied on their Dou family to gain a firm foothold in the palace, and with the support of the Dou family, they came to this day step by step, what they did at this time disgusted her.

The Queen Mother's face is even more ugly, the Dou family that has lost the Queen Mother Dou is no longer what it used to be, and the Queen Mother is still so rude and disrespectful to herself, do you think it was all those years? ! Her eyebrows rose, and she was about to command a few old mothers who came over from the Yilan Palace to come forward to teach the queen a lesson, so that she could be more disciplined.

"That's it! Don't make any more fuss. Now I'm doing business, what are you making a fuss about! The safety of the palace is important, isn't it chaotic enough! ”

Liu Che is annoyed and annoyed, the matter in front of him has not been sorted out yet, and the debate between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is about to start again? He shouted and walked up to the queen with the puppet in his hand and looked her in the eye.

"Gillian, you say, I want to listen to you personally, what is the matter with the man's clothes and this puppet?"

"I don't know!"

Simple three words, cold and stubborn. She had lost patience and didn't want to explain another word. Since there is no trust in each other, what is the use of talking more!

"Good! You don't say it, do you? Whether you're conscious or for some other reason, I have a way to get the truth out. It will convince you, you wait! ”

Since the last effort is useless, let it all be left to judgment! If you really have something to hide from me then, then don't blame me. The Emperor turned and strode out of the pavilion.

The grace of the world is severed, and sometimes it takes thousands of entanglements, and the threads are broken. Sometimes, it's as simple as a turn.

"Han Yan, Du Zhou, take these two puppets and ask those people in the palace, if anyone knows what they are used for, go immediately!"

Du Zhou, the court captain who had been standing quietly next to him since he followed the emperor to the Jiaofang Palace, heard the emperor call his name, and hurriedly walked over and listened to the instructions. Just as the two of them turned around and were about to leave, they heard the salute whispered next to them.

"Your Majesty, the role of this puppet is probably related to some folk taboos. To inquire clearly from the mouths of the people in the palace, the slave felt that some questions were inhuman. Your Majesty has not forgotten that the immortal masters who are raised in the palace have a deep understanding of some ghosts, gods and monsters, so it is better to ask them, you may be able to know a lot. ”

A word to remind the dreamer. Yes! The immortal masters are well-informed, omniscient in the heavens and on the earth, and there is nothing within the Three Realms that can blind them, so why not invite a question.

"Don't disturb their Qing cultivation, just send Immortal Master Li here. Duan Li, this matter is sent to you, go and return quickly, I am waiting here. ”

Seeing His Majesty the Emperor looking at him with appreciation, Duan Li hurriedly and respectfully accepted the order and went happily. There are many people in the palace who despise him and have a little envy at the same time, seeing that he is appreciated by the emperor, this despised guy will soon be promoted.

The Queen Mother looked at the queen who was sitting there as proudly as a swan, and many vicious thoughts came to her mind, this time the emperor had better use this reason to punish her crimes, if the queen could be abolished, it would be what she wanted. There is also the Wei Zifu of Jianzhang Palace, who also doesn't like it, last time she asked her to help the Tian family for herself, she refused to help, causing Tian Jue to resign as prime minister and lose in the struggle, and the Tian family was defeated. She kept this account in her heart clearly. As long as she has the opportunity, she will never let anyone go!

After a while, Li Shaojun, who was dressed in a gray robe, came up under the leadership of Duan Li. Walking all the way in the snow, he didn't even get a single snowflake on his body, and he looked even more fairy-like and dusty.

Maybe it was because the snow was slippery, so he picked up an antique dragon wooden crutch today. In the Han system, no one is allowed to bring a size weapon before the royal drive, which is also the rule set by the Emperor Gaozu who cherishes his life very much. The story of Jing Ke's assassination of King Qin has been spread in the world for nearly a hundred years, and future emperors have naturally learned a lesson, after all, there are rickets ahead, and life is precious!

The vigilant Yulin guard stopped him, and just as he was about to collect the wooden staff, Emperor Liu Che had already made a gesture from afar, signaling that he didn't need to, and just let him go. Immortal Master Li has been in the palace for more than a year, and he is an immortal figure who will extradite himself in the future, and he does not have to be bound by secular etiquette.

The loyal Yulin army carried out the emperor's order and let him come over, the red cherry blossoms were dyed but the snow was white, and the cuirass reflected the cold light, but they were not afraid of the wind and cold, and guarded the courtyard where the emperor was. It's just that what everyone didn't notice was that after walking through the cordon of these elite soldiers, a smug smile flashed across the corner of the mouth of a middle-aged man named Li Shaojun.

The faint and Duan Li looked at each other, and they knew each other well. After entering the palace for such a long time, I finally waited until today, and most of the preliminary preparations have been carried out, and now we can start to wrap up!

Outside the pavilion, in the falling snow, Li Shaojun took the pair of dolls carved from Qingtong wood that Han Yan held over lightly, and his fingers gently stroked those familiar lines, one knife and one stroke, extremely profound.

"Your Majesty, the name of this thing is Gu, the master kills and injures, it is really a big murderous thing!"

When he said a word, it was like a shock, and everyone was stunned, and their hearts were inexplicably frightened.

Empress Chen turned around, and her face also showed a look of surprise, how could this be...... Didn't you say that it was used to ask for children? She turned around abruptly to look at Chu Yu, who didn't know when she had straightened up, and when she looked at each other, she found that there was an abnormal light in those eyes that had always been weak, and suddenly there was a huge fear blocked in her chest, and she felt a little out of breath.
