Chu Jiang flickered away the toaster, and then looked in the direction of Lin Qiantan over there. Lin Qiantan had completely looked away, not looking at Chu Jiang's direction.

She originally wanted to make eye contact with Chu Jiang and ask about the small note.

As everyone knows, Chu Jiang also happened to be thinking, looking at how to find an opportunity, and asked Lin Qiantan out to meet. On top of the palace banquet, there is always a time when people can move freely. He also wanted to say a few words to Lin Qiantan to pass the time in his heart.

He saw that Lin Qiantan just turned his head and ordered a maid who seemed to be called Ji Yue, and Ji Yue immediately pulled away and walked towards the evacuation of the crowd behind him.

Yin Wei sat closer, but she heard her whisper, "Go get some hawthorn sauce." and he did not take it to heart.

What Ji Yue went to was the temporary palace room where the palace personnel set up the big kitchen for logistics. Yin Wei didn't put Ji Yue's little girl in her eyes.

In her opinion, it was the two "kung fu" maids who didn't know where Lin Qiantan got them that made her more vigilant.

This is not the case.

Ji Yue remembered what Lin Qiantan told her to do, the imperial concubine Yin Qiang and Lin Bixiang were staying in the palace to rest at this time, and there were many people in the palace, and it was the time to relax their precautions. Ji Yue comes and goes, and it is not eye-catching.

What's important is that she is good at martial arts, and she has followed Lin Qiantan into the palace too many times, and her professionalism makes her subconsciously look for how to avoid the palace guards and approach the palace of the imperial concubine. She first pretended to go to the big kitchen, and then unknowingly jumped over the high wall and made her way to her destination.

Just like Lin Qiantan would wonder why Xia Sanniang wanted to train the scenery and Jiyue sisters to learn some high-end skills that ordinary martial arts masters rarely learn, Jiyue was also curious, what Lin Qiantan did and studied a lot of strange props.

All kinds of strange things, if it weren't for Lin Qiantan's special explanation, she wouldn't have known that they were weapons that were far more powerful than today's common standards. Lin Qiantan also followed Chu Ling's half-finished design plan, and tried to do it according to what she had learned.

As a result, there were many failures, but fortunately, there were many successes.

On that side, Lin Qiantan also estimated whether Ji Yue could succeed. Ji Yue's legs and feet are good, and she is also smart and steady, so Lin Qiantan is very relieved to hand over this matter to her.

Ji Yue felt the ignition props handed over to her by Lin Qiantan in her arms, and repeated what Lin Qiantan had told her in her heart: "During the Mid-Autumn Festival, there have always been some fire and candle disasters in the palace, and your mission is to make the imperial concubine Niangniang frightened."

The ordinary fire fold is just a small flame lit, but the "fire fold" that Lin Qiantan gave her has been greatly improved, enough to ignite an entire wooden wall in an instant.

Lin Qiantan at the banquet also estimated there, that the thing that she had only experimented on two or three times would not work.

The palace banquet continued, and all kinds of people were staggered and toasted to each other. Laughter, but each with its own thoughts.

Emperor Tianlong has an open temperament, and generally does not like to restrain courtiers from moving around during palace banquets. After eating a few glasses of wine, even Yin Wei stood up unavoidably and went to the emperor to express her loyalty and respect.

Of course, Emperor Tianlong knew Yin Wei. The imperial concubine's own sister can also be regarded as his sister-in-law...... One.

Lin Qiantan followed him over.

What Yin Wei said, of course Lin Qiantan heard it clearly.

In addition to saying some good and obedient words to compliment Emperor Tianlong, Yin Wei also said things that could make the newly sealed Concubine Lian happy. In his words, he didn't know that Concubine Lian and her sister in front of him had become like fire and water in just two months.

It was the Lianfei Pan who originally planned to embarrass the sister of the competitor Yin Qiang, and she couldn't help but smile when she was praised by the other party. I also secretly thought in my heart that this Third Lady Lin was on the way......

Yin Wei said: "The courtiers and others outside have long been looking forward to Niangniang coming to the stage to teach. The courtiers and others were clumsy, and they all wanted to show their elegant skills again. ”

Concubine Lian was very happy.

She is not from a high background, and she hates the people in the palace the most because she looks down on her like this.

However, everyone loves to listen to flattery and ignore it, and it doesn't necessarily have to be taken seriously.

In Lin Qiantan's opinion, although Concubine Lian is not from a high background, she may not be big-minded.

It looked like he was taken away by Yin Wei's good words, but in fact, he was hiding a knife in his smile, and he didn't believe it all.

Emperor Tianlong is also very satisfied with Yin Wei's acquaintance. The imperial concubine Yin has been entrenched in the palace for 20 years, and he has long been a little dislike the other party. It's just that the Yin clan is still useful, so they have to support Yin Qiang and give glory and wealth.

Now that Yan Shao is gone, the Yin clan has become the biggest disaster, and he doesn't have to "spoil" the other party.

Just thinking about it, Concubine Lian had already said about her performance: "This palace is from a humble background, not as famous as Mrs. Lin since she was a child, but just some small skills of carving insects, and I am afraid of causing everyone's 'private' jokes."

Emperor Tianlong then hurriedly held the beauty's little hand, rubbed it ambiguously in his hand, and said with a smile: "There is me, which dog dares to laugh at the concubine?"

In exchange, it is naturally a beauty who is coquettish.

But after all, with a group of dancers retreating, there were indeed a few palace mermaids who entered and arranged the guqin in the center of the high platform, as if preparing in advance for the people who were about to go on stage.

Yin Wei's wine was toasted at the right time, and even Lin Qiantan and Lin Shuchen also toasted to the imperial concubine. Lin Qiantan was cautious, took advantage of raising her hand, and sniffed the wine glass carefully, convinced that all suspicious objects approaching Concubine Lian would never come from her own hands.

Lin Qiantan retreated with Yin Wei, and Concubine Lian stood up over there, ready to take the stage.

At the same time, Lin Qiantan also noticed that a little eunuch happened to come in from the outfield, and walked quickly to the ears of Emperor Tianlong. She was far away, and she couldn't hear the little eunuch tell Emperor Tianlong, saying, "Baiyun Heavenly Master is ready."

Emperor Tianlong nodded with satisfaction, knowing in his heart.

People may have noticed what the table tops that resemble the altar that have been resting on the high platform are used for. That was actually reserved for the White Cloud Heavenly Master.

The fifteenth day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, just when the celestial phenomena and moonlight are the heaviest, the heaven and the earth are psychic, the door of God is wide open, and the heavenly master said that it can be done at this time, divination of the country.

In fact, of course, Baiyun Heavenly Master has long known that the fortunes of the Great Merchants are about to be broken, and the so-called fortune-telling is just pretending to be a matter of fact. He knew that the heavens should not leak too much, especially if it was a major event like the change of dynasty that affected thousands of people!

He would rather smash his signboard in the coming day than lose his life right away.

Baiyun Heavenly Master was sitting alone in the inner room of the palace at this time, waiting for the emperor to summon him, and the sudden sound of the guqin not far away reluctantly pulled back his thoughts that flew out.

The little eunuch who came to convey Emperor Tianlong's will told him that when Concubine Lian finished playing the piano, it was time for him to wait to take the stage.

Baiyun Heavenly Master answered, and then listened to the piano intently, calculating in his heart, when would Concubine Lian Niangniang fall......

According to the original plan told to him by the imperial concubine, Concubine Lian's performance on stage would make the divination image obtained by the gods in the future show the bloody disaster.

But now the plans have changed.

He thought that when he was resting two days ago, the sister of the imperial concubine Niangniang, the third lady of the Dongshan Hou Mansion, came over in person and informed him of the changes in the plan.

The White Cloud Heavenly Master didn't care how the plan changed anyway.

Although he was also very curious, what did the seventh lady of the Dongshan Marquis Mansion do, so that his stepmother had to put the name of this disaster star on her head.

The abortion drug that Concubine Lian used without a trace of the ghosts and gods is also the prescription he prescribed......

Bai Yun Tianshi was still calculating just now, and he obviously heard the melodious and beautiful sound of the piano outside, as if a syllable had suddenly broken suddenly, and he knew in his heart that the abortion pill on Concubine Lian's body had begun to attack.

is also aware of this, as well as Lin Qiantan.

Lin Qiantan just followed behind Yin Wei and saw clearly, Yin Wei toasted, wearing a sachet of vitex flowers.

This flower is not poisonous, but when it comes into contact with something, it becomes a fatal thing that stimulates the fetus.

Coincidentally, these things, on the throne, are all there.

Lin Qiantan said secretly, isn't this kind of harmful method the same as the method of calculating Chu Ling and Yan Shao at the Chu family's birthday banquet last year? ! It's hard for her not to reach out to someone.

However, looking at the demeanor of yin tenacity, Lin Qiantan knew that this matter had nothing to do with yin tenacity.

The Yin family's study may not be the only one who enters Yin Ren, and it is not surprising that Yin Wei can also know this strange recipe.

Vitex flowers are harmless, as are the spiral grass that burns to repel mosquitoes in a tableside vessel, and even the soy sauce used to dip fresh meat on the table is a must-have for seasoning, and the ambergris on the King of God's body is also harmless...... These four things together have a wonderful use.

Concubine Lian herself didn't know that something had been put on her body, and what she was waiting for was the medicine primer that was urged.

As soon as Lin Qiantan returned to her seat, she quietly untied the sachet tied to her body and threw it into Ping Lang's hand.

At this time, Concubine Lian's condition on the high platform seemed to have some abnormalities, and Lin Qiantan also looked over, only to see that as far as the line of sight could see, Concubine Lian just stopped playing, arched her body, and pressed her lower abdomen.

Here it is, she thought to herself.

The things used for abortions, of course, will not make people feel comfortable anywhere. Lin Qian said in her heart, Concubine Lian is certainly a smart person, but after all, she is young, inexperienced, and the tricky methods of the attacker, she is on guard and on guard, and she is still tricked.

Concubine Lian was pregnant with a dragon child, but she suddenly suffered from abdominal pain and miscarriage, so you can imagine how chaotic the situation at the palace banquet should have been for a while.

Emperor Tianlong immediately ordered the imperial doctor to come to treat Concubine Lian. After the imperial doctor took the pulse, he truthfully informed Concubine Lian of the situation. only said that the fetus in Concubine Lian's womb was difficult to protect, but he couldn't say what poison was in Concubine Lian's body.

The further Concubine Lian went, the more the effect of the medicine kicked in, and the more painful she became. At this moment, the pain in her body almost swallowed her consciousness.

But she still couldn't help but wonder what went wrong......

The same question was also pondered by everyone who was present and witnessed the incident. Lin Qiantan was watching and listening, waiting to pick up the trick that would turn to her head without knowing when, and Gu Qingxuan also came over when the crowd was still chaotic.

Yin Wei glanced closely, and knew that Lin Qiantan had been close to the Gu family since the beginning of the year.

Gu Qingxuan smiled and said, "Say, what's going on."

Lin Qiantan laughed: "What's going on?"

Gu Qingxuan also knew how to suppress her smile on this serious occasion, and she didn't dare to make a sound: "You look like you have a wisdom pearl in your hand, you obviously know the doorway, don't you say that you will answer my questions and let me know how happened to Concubine Lian?"

Lin Qiantan smiled helplessly, she had no expression anywhere, it was obvious that Gu Qingxuan thought that she might be related to these things and came to inquire about information. So I didn't go around in circles much, and said it in a few words.

Gu Qingxuan shook her head and went back, Lin Qiantan continued to think in her heart that Yin Qiang had an alibi at this time, and this matter would benefit her the most, but it would not involve her.

After that, I'm afraid it should be the appearance of the White Cloud Heavenly Master, right?!

Concubine Lian was carried down, and Emperor Tianlong was swept away, so of course this palace banquet could not be held. Gu Qingxuan also took advantage of the chaos to return to Gu Ping and told her about it.

In fact, she also has one more heart, I'm afraid that Lin Qiantan's stepmother will be a moth and a trick. After asking clearly, tell your grandfather and brother that there is something to deal with in advance.

The guests stared at each other and stayed where they were, returning to their seats. Either look at the guqin that is still standing motionless in front of you, or turn your head to ear and whisper.

Lin Qiantan pinched the hour, calculating when Emperor Tianlong would come out again. At the same time, the people on the scene barely moved around each other. The food was already cold, and the palace maid who served the food over there didn't know whether to bring the food up.

But this dispensable Mid-Autumn Festival Palace banquet can't be done, for Emperor Tianlong, this Sunday and earth things must be done rain or shine.

At this time, the people also reacted, and realized what the thing on the altar was used for. After about half an hour, Emperor Tianlong came out of it, and sure enough, he brought a person who looked like a heavenly master.

Emperor Tianlong's face was gloomy, his eyes were on the field, everyone glanced around, and everyone felt empty in their hearts, and then looked at the Taoist priest behind the emperor, and couldn't help but think, which one is this singing, it can't be that this Taoist priest said something slanderous that shouldn't be said, right?

Emperor Tianlong heard from Baiyun Heavenly Master that the imperial doctor could not diagnose and treat the toxicity of the cause, and it was not human poisoning, but the restraint of the calamity.

And the calamity, at the same time, was at this palace banquet.

Baiyun Heavenly Master said that there is something to do, and Emperor Tianlong would rather believe it than believe it. At that glance, I saw that people's hearts sank.

Lin Qiantan even confirmed her guess by seven or eight points.

If there was no such guess, but right now, since she had already guessed something, she couldn't let this Baiyun Heavenly Master have a chance to say something more and put herself in.

Because, looking at the appearance of Emperor Tianlong, although his gaze was fierce, he did not treat everyone equally, and he did not deliberately stay on anyone's body.

Baiyun Heavenly Master is also quite famous, and it didn't take long for some people to recognize him. But at the same time as his fame, there was also his greed for money.

Ordinary gold, silver and jewelry may not be able to impress him, but fortunately, Lin Qiantan has always known the benefits of silver money since she became rich, and she is used to bringing a few good things in case of emergency.

Lin Qiantan touched it and took out the egg-sized beads of coral blood jade in her pocket. I thought, it's a pity, this thing, I still want to bring it out, and I took it to Uncle Zhou for auction.

Look at the countertop.

Even if the altar is opened, it will take some time to prepare. During this period, there are always loopholes to exploit.

Lin Qiantan moved her mind, handed the things to the screen, and told her, "Take it to Miss Gu, just say, ask her for a little favor."

Lin Qiantan was inconvenient to move too much, so as not to arouse suspicion, but Gu Qingxuan did not have this scruples.

Moreover, Gu Qingxuan is also a guest with a three-point face in front of Concubine Xiao, and it is very appropriate to ask her to help deliver the news to Concubine Xiao.

Such a palace banquet, Concubine Xiao will not fail to come.

It's just that he hasn't shown up in the open.

Gu Qingxuan took the jade bead from the screen, and didn't talk nonsense, so she asked her girl to go out for a run.

*

Lin Qiantan made some preparations, at least she didn't have to worry about Bai Yun Heavenly Master saying something that was unfavorable to her.

I was thinking about how Ji Yue's actions were over there and whether they were going well.

Lin Qiantan was still calculating there, time passed bit by bit, the sacrificial ceremony on the stage had been finally arranged, and the Baiyun Heavenly Master who had gone behind the scenes also reappeared in front of everyone's eyes, he was wearing a newly changed clean Taoist robe, holding a Tianyuan-style dust whisk in his hand, and he really looked like a master.

Emperor Tianlong ordered him to start doing it immediately.

He then walked up and, following the ritual flow, began to move. The guests in the audience also looked at him.

Yin Wei looked at these and smiled coldly, as if she was looking forward to what was going on.

Although it was based on her sister's plan, some things were slightly changed, but the result remained the same.

The child in Concubine Lian's belly is still gone. Moreover, he has been infertile for life.

It's just that after this sacrificial practice, the world is not peaceful, and the name of the demon girl who has caused trouble in the palace has fallen on whom.

*

If there is a pity in Yin Wei's plan, it is that Lin Qiantan can't be asked to say it herself and confirm that she is the demon girl.

Concubine Lian's abortion was in her original plan, but in fact, she also arranged for Lin Qiantan to "serve" her eunuchs.

And this Concubine Lian was originally scheduled to have happened after the scandal between Lin Qiantan and several eunuchs in the court.

However, it doesn't hurt.

But when Bai Yun Heavenly Master didn't say that Lin Qiantan was the demon girl according to the statement he had agreed with her in advance, one can imagine how angry Yin Wei should be, and then she was uneasy and panicked.

Baiyun Heavenly Master also collects money to do things, and what Lin Qiantan gave him is much more valuable than Yin Weisai used to be. Moreover, this is only a "deposit". Who can't get along with money?

Baiyun Heavenly Master pretended to be a god on the high platform for a long time, and the altar was indeed the same as originally planned, and the result of divination showed great bad luck.

Baiyun Heavenly Master turned around and told the result of the divination: "Your Majesty, this demon is really hidden in this palace!"

Emperor Tianlong naturally asked who the demon in the mouth of the White Cloud Heavenly Master was.

"Aiqing just say, no matter who he is, I will guarantee that you will be fine." Emperor Tianlong meant something, his eyes faintly pointed at Yin Ren, and Yin Ren smiled faintly at Baiyun Heavenly Master, as if he was also encouraging him to speak, just like the emperor.

Baiyun Heavenly Master trembled.

He was indeed afraid of being liquidated by the Yin clan afterwards, but Emperor Tianlong didn't care whether he was afraid or not. He wished there was a reason to get him up.

At first, Baiyun Heavenly Master only said that this demon was hidden in this palace banquet.

Emperor Tianlong took it for granted that what Baiyun Heavenly Master said was on the venue of this palace banquet. Moreover, he has the "right" person in mind.

Everyone then listened to Baiyun Heavenly Master continue: "Your Majesty's expedition is unfavorable, natural disasters and man-made disasters in the four seas, and even now Concubine Lian's fetus is not guaranteed, and all kinds of sudden changes are all caused by that demon."

After saying a while, Baiyun Heavenly Master stopped and looked at everyone present, and everyone really looked more or less nervous.

I am afraid that the person calculated by the White Cloud Heavenly Master is themselves.

Bai Yun smiled: "This demon is now in the direction of here." As he spoke, Baiyun Heavenly Master raised his hand and compared it to the northwest of the palace banquet venue.

He didn't dare to compare his finger to Prime Minister Zuo who covered the sky with one hand in front of the public.

There is no need for Emperor Tianlong to ask again, Baiyun Heavenly Master himself knows that this matter must be given a specific name in order to be able to convince the public.

So, just as he was about to continue to say Lin Bixiang's name, and Yin Wei also subconsciously felt that it was not good, the direction of Yin Qiang's dormitory suddenly burst into flames, and no one needed to report it, and everyone followed the fingers of Baiyun Heavenly Master and saw it clearly.

If there were still people who were a little suspicious of Baiyun Heavenly Master, then at this moment, everyone listened to what he said.

The monstrous fire, like a huge fire dragon, suddenly rose into the air. The fire was dazzling, as if something was rapidly appearing. The blue-sky dragon heads on the eaves, which symbolize the Great Shang Dynasty at the bottom, seem to be suppressed under the light.

A little eunuch over there belatedly reported that it was a drain, and Emperor Tianlong kicked him away, and immediately ordered someone to put out the fire. As for what Baiyun Heavenly Master said, who was the demon of the Calamity Country, he didn't bother to ask for a while.

Everyone hurriedly followed, and was frightened by the word "Zhou" faintly burning out of the fire, and always felt that the wind and rain were coming, and this fire was strange.
