232, the scourge of witchcraft (1)
This morning, the palace was full of people.
Before dawn, Xiangluo, the eldest palace maid of Yunmeng Palace, hurriedly went to the Tai Hospital to find the Tai Doctor, saying that Mei Guiren kept convulsing, and she couldn't wake up no matter how she screamed, and she didn't know what was wrong.
Although Mei Guiren is not favored, because Gu Tingjun has always been wet with rain and dew for everyone in the harem, the imperial doctor on duty did not dare to slack off at all, and immediately carried the medicine box to Yunmeng Palace.
When he arrived at Yunmeng Palace, the cold sweat of the imperial doctor was scared out, and Mei Guiren was not suffering from a sudden illness at all, no matter how he looked at it, it seemed that he had been tired of winning.
Since ancient times, the art of aversion to victory has been taboo, especially in the harem, once it happens, it is bound to set off a bloody storm.
The Imperial Doctor suddenly felt that he had fallen into blood mold for eight lifetimes, how could he encounter such a thing? But he couldn't ignore it, and he didn't dare to hide it, so he immediately went to report it to the queen.
Empress Sun was also taken aback, she guessed that there was going to be an accident in the palace recently, but she didn't expect such a big thing to happen as soon as it came out, so she hurriedly took someone to Yunmeng Palace to investigate, and asked people to call all the concubines in the harem.
The only one who can attack the Mei nobles is this group of women in the harem, and it must be right to call them all.
Then, something dramatic happened, and a little palace maid in Qixia Palace suddenly stood up to testify against Yin Guifei, saying that she accidentally saw the mandarin duck secretly burying something under the tree in the backyard, and suspected that it was Yin Guifei who did it.
Yin Guifei was so angry that she trembled, and was about to scold the little palace maid angrily, but the little palace maid cried and kowtowed to her, and then without waiting for everyone to react, she rushed to the pillar and died directly.
And the people sent by the queen to search really dug up several witch dolls from under the trees in the backyard of Qixia Palace, and each doll was pasted with a strip of cloth with the eight characters of birth on it, in addition to the Mei nobles who were still asleep, there were also pure concubines, Duan concubines and queens.
The queen was immediately furious, Concubine Chun fainted directly, and Concubine Duan also turned pale.
This is considered to be a death without proof, no matter how Yin Guifei explains, the queen still ordered someone to seal up Qixia Palace, put her under house arrest for the time being, and wait for the emperor to go down to court, and then hand it over to the emperor.
Mandarin duck is a clever man, after finding out that something is wrong, he immediately ordered someone to quietly leave the palace and went to the Yin family to report the news, and now the Yin family is also in a mess, and Yin Ershao is also in a hurry to go to the doctor, so he hurriedly ran to ask for help.
After listening to Yin Ershao's words, Liu Jiaojiao's first reaction was that Yin Guifei was framed.
Although she hates this concubine very much, but with her arrogant and domineering energy, she doesn't look like a person who will use this kind of trick behind people.
And how could it be so coincidental, this kind of privacy method that clearly cannot be discovered was seen by an unknown little palace maid, and she ran out to expose it so coincidentally, and finally died without proof.
How do you look at that little palace maid is a dead man who has been arranged, everything she has done is to make Concubine Yin have to resist this fatal black cauldron.
A coincidence can be said to be a coincidence, but one after another coincidences are basically for people.
This favor can definitely help with Liu Jiaojiao's ability, and there is a bottle of honest spray in the space, as long as you spray it lightly on someone, that person will have to answer all questions, and there is no falsehood.
But she really doesn't want to enter the palace that makes people feel suffocated anymore, and she has no relationship with Yin Guifei for no reason, and even has a holiday, so there is no reason to enter the palace at all.
Yin Er rarely saw that Liu Jiaojiao had not spoken, and he was also in a hurry, so he knelt down directly, and begged with a choked voice: "Master, please save my sister!" As long as you're willing to help, let me do anything! ”
Although the latter sentence of him is equivalent to nonsense, there is a command charm, what does he dare not do? But Liu Jiaojiao was still a little moved, girl, she was most afraid of seeing others crying, especially men.
It is said that men don't flick when they have tears, if they are not really urgent, where will the three-foot man cry easily?
"You get up first, I'll help you figure it out."
"Thank you, master! Thank you, master! ”
In the palace.
As soon as Gu Tingjun returned to the imperial study, he knew what had happened this morning, and directly smashed the teacup he was holding in his hand, his handsome face was dark, and his deep eyes were filled with anger.
"The art of disgust? In my harem, there is a technique of disgust with victory? And so many people are involved? The queen is the one who takes care of the harem? ”
Gonggong Wei hurriedly persuaded him: "The emperor is angry, please forgive the slave for saying more, the queen mother is also a victim this time, and one of the witch dolls found has the eight characters of the queen mother, it can only be said that the person behind the scenes can be punished." ”
This kind of thing is what he dares to say in front of the emperor, whether it is an old man who has followed the emperor for many years, and he still has some right to speak.
Gu Tingjun sneered: "You're right, this person is indeed his heart!" Check it out to me, and once you find out who did it, I will destroy his nine clans! "Love Net
The most taboo thing about being an emperor is this kind of god and ghostly thing, because it is impossible to prevent it at all, and if you dare to attack the concubines of the harem today, then tomorrow, won't you want to attack him, the emperor?
Besides, if this matter spreads outside the palace, what will others say? The harem represents absolute imperial power, how can it become a laughing stock in other people's mouths?
At this moment, he hated the mastermind behind the scenes to the core.
In the Qixia Palace.
Concubine Yin was like crazy, she almost smashed the things in the room clean, her pretty face became distorted because of extreme anger, and the steps and hairpins on her head were as if they were swept by the wind because of her too large movements, and they fell to the ground cracklingly, and after a while, even the bun that had been tied up was scattered.
"Who is it? Who the hell is framing Hongu?! ”
Because the person who was accused was a mandarin duck, she had been sent to be tortured, and the other palace maids and eunuchs were all kneeling on the ground and trembling, and no one dared to speak, for fear of being angered.
Concubine Yin is angry, and she is wronged.
She admitted that she didn't like those women in the palace, but she was not a fool, knowing that the palace was taboo and disgusted with the art of winning, once it was discovered, it would be a catastrophe to raid the house, how could she choose such a method to frame others? Can't you just beat someone up if they're upset?
Mei Guiren is just a little nobleman, pinching her to death is as easy as pinching an ant to death, this kind of small role is also worth her to deal with with with such means?
And since several witch dolls have been searched, why is it the miracle of the noble people? If you want to say that there is no problem in this, you don't believe it if you kill her.
But now that she is under house arrest in Qixia Palace, the most trusted and relied on mandarin duck has also been arrested and tortured, even if she wants to investigate, there is no way.
Yin Guifei was not worried that the mandarin duck would not be able to stand the punishment and bite her in order to get away with it, after all, the mandarin duck's family had been closely monitored when she entered the palace, even if it was to protect her family, the mandarin duck did not dare to climb indiscriminately.
What she is worried about is whether the queen will investigate the truth carefully, and whether the pure concubines will take the opportunity to fall into the ground, after all, except for the queen, her status is the highest in the entire harem, and even the status of the eldest prince is also very high, and she is the most likely person to inherit the throne.
Now that she is in trouble, the eldest prince is bound to be affected by her, how can those two women who also have princes not take the opportunity to take the opportunity to remove obstacles for their sons?
Concubine Yin gritted her silver teeth, and a crazy light flashed in her eyes.
She definitely can't just fall like this, even if it's for the sake of the eldest prince, she has to grit her teeth and survive this hurdle!
Residence of the Prince.
After learning that his mother had an accident, the eldest prince no longer had the intention of attending classes, pretended to be unwell and took leave from the teacher, and hurriedly returned to his residence.
He wanted to rush to Qixia Palace, but was told that the queen ordered the palace to be closed and put his mother under house arrest, and Aunt Mandarin Duck, who was accused of burying the witch doll, was also sent by the queen to be tortured.
The eldest prince was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot, but he couldn't do anything, so he could only pace back and forth in the room like a headless fly, and his face was ugly.
He can't go to Qixia Palace to visit his mother, otherwise he will disobey the queen's mother's will, and he can't go to the torture room, otherwise he will be suspected of wanting to kill people, and he can't help verify the truth, because the incident happened in the harem, even if he is the prince, he can't easily step in, and it doesn't conform to the etiquette law.
What to do? What to do? What should he do?
Is it just watching the accident of the mother concubine?
Suddenly, his steps paused, and a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind.
By the way, he can go to his father, his father has always favored his mother the most, he will definitely believe in his mother, and he will definitely help his mother clear her grievances.
After making up his mind, he stepped out of the prince's residence directly, and hurriedly walked to the imperial study with the little eunuch who was waiting for him.
Gu Tingjun was reviewing the folds in the imperial study at this time, he was an extremely calm person, although he hated what happened in the morning, which affected his mood, but he would definitely not abandon political affairs because of this.
When he saw the song handed over by the Taishou who was guarding Jiangnan, which said that Jiangnan was flooded again, he was about to ask Gonggong Wei to call the Hubu Shangshu to discuss the matter, but when he heard a commotion outside, he immediately frowned, and said to Gonggong Wei: "Go and see, what's the noise outside?" ”
Gonggong Wei immediately received the order to see it, and soon came back after asking about the situation, with a trace of hesitation on his face, he bowed down and said: "Emperor Qiqi, it was the eldest prince who came, saying that he wanted to meet the emperor, but the guards at the door stopped him, and there were some disputes. ”
Gu Tingjun's face sank suddenly, and he said angrily: "Who allowed him to come here without being summoned?" Let him go, or I will not spare him! ”
Gonggong Wei still wanted to say a few good words for the eldest prince, but seeing that the emperor was already angry, where did he dare to say more than half a word, so he nodded hurriedly and went to the door to spread the word.
