Chapter 264: The Source of Sin
The dark night has completely cooled the atmosphere, the cry of Concubine Ling in the hall has stopped, but the palace people kneeling outside the hall dare not stop crying to express their sorrow, wrapped in the bleak autumn wind, the desolation is long, it is difficult to explain in words.
Chu Zikai's voice was like an ice edge, majestic and even a little infiltrating, and the questions were passed into the ears of the palace people word by word, echoing in this cold autumn night, and even more frozen through their bone marrow, no one dared to answer easily, holding his breath and concentrating on a humble posture, gritting his teeth and praying that he could escape this catastrophe.
"Hurry up, suddenly there is this unfortunate change, Niang Niang is so sad at this time, I can't see these things the most, so I will burn them."
Mama Chang, who was next to Concubine Ling, was not afraid of anything, and was only thinking about her master, it should be to stabilize Concubine Ling's emotions.
came out to see the solemn situation outside, Mama Chang was also shocked, led the group to kneel, came over on her knees, and asked with a crying voice:
"Please forgive Your Majesty, Niangniang is sad today, I am afraid that I can still see these objects, and it will be even more sad, so the slave and maid dare to make decisions without permission, it is better to let these things go with the little prince, so that her eyes can be cleaned, and only after extinguishing her thoughts can she cure her heart disease."
And no one had the heart to answer such a meaningless triviality, Chu Zikai's eyes were unfocused, looking at the boxes of things that were brought out, not saying yes or no, just looking straight ahead, the people did not dare to act recklessly, and they were at a loss in place. Yu Zhao sighed helplessly, and whispered for him: "It's okay, go ahead." ”
Hearing this, Mama Chang hurriedly led the palace people to bow down and thank Yu Zhao, and after getting up, she continued to carefully carry the box out, the heavy rouge wood was extremely precious, which showed that the people of Jinghualou attached great importance to Concubine Ling's fetus. Now it is going to be burned, with these things turned into ashes, and their conscientious service and hope to be glorified with the Lord, the next and next empty, tonight the most ending place in the palace is none other than the Mirror Flower Tower.
The group had no expectations in their hearts, and they had no strength to work, a small waiter slipped his hand inappropriately, and the heavy mahogany Luban box fell to the ground, Chang Mama hurriedly whispered a word of caution, cautiously looked back at Chu Zikai and Yu Zhao standing on the steps, and saw that the two of them did not pay attention, so they hurriedly continued to move forward.
All kinds of toys, boys love girls love all available, exquisite, the carved sunflowers, doll bird patterns are carefully depicted with colored pens, all of which reveal the childlike fun that makes people's hearts soften.
is also a woman who supports motherhood, Yu Zhao just looked at it, and could imagine how happy Concubine Ling was when she was carefully preparing these utensils, but now the gap given by this change is really very human and unbearable.
In the middle of the night, I heard a few piercing jackdaws echoing in the air, its sound was sharp, as if it was screaming, Yu Zhao frowned and looked, and sure enough, he saw a few crows hovering in the night sky, and suddenly felt that this scene was not weird, but he wondered in his heart for a moment, and he heard Chu Zikai speak again:
"The Mid-Autumn Festival night symbolizes reunion, but I don't hear the good news of the magpie cuckoo and other auspicious birds, this unpopular crow is in the way at this time, it can be seen that it is the will of heaven to warn me, if I don't find an explanation to Concubine Ling, it is against the principles of heaven."
God warns or not, Chu Zikai is not a person who likes to spend effort on these empty talks, but he is just using the vision to express the sadness in his heart, and it can be regarded as making a promise on the territory that belongs to Concubine Ling, and he changed his direction to tell her that he did not let the pain she suffered pass like this, and this action also gave her a little comfort, and wanted her to relax her mind a little.
Whether this move is useful or not, Yu Zhao felt that the effect was very little, she only listened to Chu Zikai's unprecedented lost tone to know that his melancholy could not be eliminated for a while, he was still like this, not to mention Concubine Ling, who had personally experienced the pain of flesh and blood separation, how could she relax because of these few words.
It doesn't help to say it, but if you don't say it, you feel even more inappropriate. A few words like a dog's skin plaster, Chu Zikai came to express his heart to Concubine Ling at this time, but it was more like to give her face and show it to everyone who had nothing to do with this matter.
Silent and relieved his emotions for a long time, waiting for the group to evacuate all the baby things in the hall, Chu Zikai swept over the people kneeling in the courtyard with cold eyes, and then asked, "I want to know, where does the scorpion venom in Concubine Ling come from?" ”
Still no one dared to answer, Chu Zikai was extremely angry, his voice was full of anger, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"If your mouths are white and you are not able to speak, and it is not a pity to cut off your tongues and feed them to the dogs, will you not be able to hear what I am asking? I asked Concubine Ling if she was so dignified, why was she invaded by scorpion venom? ”
"Your Majesty......" Among the people present at this time, only Yu Zhao dared to try to get close to Chu Zikai, and only she dared to recklessly say everything she knew in her heart:
"I heard earlier that it was because of the recent attack of Concubine Liu's chills, so Liu Zhaorong found a home remedy to treat it, and in this recipe, you need to blindly use live scorpions as medicine, I'm afraid something went wrong here."
As soon as he came, he found the root of the key thing, Chu Zikai turned his head to look at Yu Zhao, took her hand and asked eagerly: "Seriously, you have always been afraid of snakes and insects, why haven't you ever heard you mention it to me." ”
Yu Zhao replied: "Liu Zhaorong said that those scorpions were locked in cages, and they were sent to watch over them day and night, so I don't think they should come to Jinghualou and hurt Concubine Ling......"
"Concubine Yi said well," Chang Mama finished cooking, trotted back from outside the palace gate, and as soon as she entered the door, she listened to Yu Zhao's words, and hurriedly continued to tell the cause and effect of today's accident:
"It turned out that our mother was going back to the palace after leaving the banquet today, saying that she happened to go to the pharmacy and brought the medicine back, Xu was blind in the black light and didn't see the poisonous insect running out, I didn't want to get into one and hide it in her clothes, and when she was stung halfway, she realized that something was wrong."
Hearing this, Yu Zhao immediately reprimanded: "This palace has already said that there is such a dangerous thing in the pharmacy, and Concubine Ling is pregnant and should not come in person, if she is stubborn, you should be more cautious and pay attention, doesn't it mean that the thing is in a cage?" Why did you run out? There are so many of you protecting her, why is she the only one who has an accident? ”
Another palace maid raised her head and replied with a cry: "The slaves and maids used to look strange, and they also went to see those scorpions, and they don't like to move when they nest in that cage all day long, and I don't know why they ran out to drill the girl's clothes tonight, and it must be because the palace people who watched the cages were lazy and careless, which caused this monstrous disaster." ”
