Chapter 45: Witch Gu

When the queen arrived at Yongfu Palace, Yin Chen had not yet arrived, but Li Shenlan had already been tied to the bed by Concubine Xiang. Seeing the queen coming, Li Shenlan became inexplicably excited again, and kept muttering something in her mouth.

"What's going on, won't you hurt the child by tying her up?"

"It doesn't matter, if you don't tie her up, let alone say it's a child, Shen Lan herself will die."

Concubine Xiang's words are indeed not an exaggeration, Li Shenlan was still talking to herself, but she suddenly smiled weirdly and then ran out as if she was crazy.

It was too dangerous at that time, Shen Lan kept babbling in her mouth, running extremely fast and unsteady under her feet. A dozen minions knelt down to stop her on the long street outside. ”

Listening to Concubine Xiang's description, the queen was shocked. The imperial doctor was still diagnosing Li Shenlan's pulse, but Li Shenlan kept moving, and the pulse was there

After a stick of incense, I didn't diagnose a reason.

"I suspect it's a witch Gu ......," Concubine Xiang leaned closer to the queen and whispered.

But there is no reason, the first time she found the puppet, the queen sealed the Listening Bamboo Palace, and specially looked at Wang Jun'er, where did she get the opportunity to do it.

The two of them were thinking about it, and Yin Chen hurriedly came from outside, and saw that Li Shenlan was still there as if she was crazy, and her face was angry and anxious.

Fortunately, after a while, I don't know if Li Shenlan was tired or what, her eyes suddenly opened, and then she fainted.

Only then did the imperial physician take Li Shenlan's pulse steadily, but this pulse diagnosis made the imperial physician frown, obviously not optimistic.

"What's going on, is there something wrong with the child?"

Although the queen also cares about Li Shenlan, she cares more about this child after all.

"Back to the emperor, from the Zhaoyi pulse, I can't see that Niangniang has any illness at all, I can only say that after such a toss by Niangniang, the dragon fetus in the womb has been affected to a certain extent...... But drinking some tocolytic pills is also not enough. ”

"What do you mean that the cause cannot be found?"

Yin Chen's voice couldn't help but rise, and the queen naturally knew that she was angry when she looked at his attitude.

It's no wonder that Yin Chen is angry, Li Shenlan has been framed since she was favored. What's more, people are so crazy now, but the cause can't be found.

"Your Majesty, Zhaoyi is not sick at all from the pulse alone...... It is rumored that there is an evil art in this world, called witch Gu, and Wei Chen thinks it ......"

Unexpectedly, the imperial doctor mentioned this, although the queen couldn't believe it, she still told Yin Chen about listening to the Bamboo Palace.

"Where is the king now?"

"The concubine has already ordered someone to seal the Tingzhu Palace, and Wang Guiren has been under the surveillance of the concubine, so it stands to reason that there is no chance to start."

The puppet has been collected, and if you want Li Shenlan to be tricked, you still need to sacrifice Gu with blood to be effective. Wang Jun'er had been listening to the bamboo palace embroidering things, and she didn't have time to sacrifice Gu at all.

"Search the palace!"

Yin Chen endured his anger and raised his voice to order the guards outside.

"But the concubine has already searched the Tingzhu Palace, and nothing has been found......

"Close the palace gate, search the palace!"

Where Yin Chen is, he only needs to search the Bamboo Palace, but the entire palace has to be searched. What shocked Concubine Xiang was that not to mention that the eldest princess's palace even Shoukang Palace had to be checked.

Shu Qiu came in with the freshly boiled fetal pills, and saw the three masters sitting there with gloomy faces, and they didn't dare to be more atmospheric.

Li Shenlan was still asleep at this time, and with the autumn harvest and Tibetan winter, it was easy to help Li Shenlan sit up. It's just that the smell of medicine enters the mouth, it is three mouthfuls and two mouthfuls, and a bowl of soup and medicine really does not have half a bowl in the stomach.

"Niangniang, just drink some, think about the baby in the belly......"

Shu Qiu looked at Li Shenlan's white lips, and then thought of Li Shenlan's crazy appearance, and couldn't help crying.

"Daddy! Mother! ”

No one expected that Li Shenlan would suddenly open her eyes, because the rope was loose when she was asleep, and at this time she suddenly opened her eyes, and a carp was made up. He even knocked over the bowl in Shuqiu's hand, and got out of bed and rushed out.

"No! Li Mingyue! I'll kill you! Father...... Mother! ”

Li Shenlan was still muttering something in her mouth, Yin Chen, and they didn't know what was going on in the back room. At this time, seeing Li Shenlan rushing out like crazy, Concubine Xiang hurriedly shouted for people to close the door of Yongfu Palace.

"Shen Lan! Shen Lan! ”

Concubine Xiang shouted while helping to harvest the autumn They stopped Li Shenlan, and the queen didn't expect Li Shenlan's illness to be like this, so she was stunned for a while, not knowing how to help.

As for Li Shenlan, she rushed into the garden as soon as she slipped through the smoke, and Xiao Shunzi wanted to catch her but were afraid of hurting her, and almost tripped over the flower pot several times.

"Shen Lan! Shen Lan, don't run away! ”

With the first experience, Concubine Xiang was obviously much more proficient, but after a while, she cooperated with Shuqiu to stop Li Shenlan's circle.

"Sister...... Sister! Someone, someone is going to kill me! Li Mingyue! Li Mingyue killed my father! ”

Xu saw Concubine Xiang, Li Shenlan seemed to be a little sober, and complained to Concubine Xiang vigorously, shaking her with both hands from time to time, her eyes full of resentment and horror.

"Shen Lan, don't be afraid, look at me...... Don't be afraid, don't be afraid! ”

Although Concubine Xiang didn't understand what Li Shenlan was saying, she couldn't hear it intermittently. But Concubine Xiang still hugged Li Shenlan and kept comforting softly.

Li Shenlan was hugged by Concubine Xiang, but from behind, she suddenly saw Yin Chen standing at the door of the house. So he suddenly broke free from Concubine Xiang, and ran to Yin Chen.

"Ah Ci!"

Li Shenlan has long lost her mind, and the people she cares about the most will be kept talking about by her.

So she ran to Yin Chen, kept calling "Ah Ci" in her mouth, and her eyes became red, like a frightened little white rabbit.

Yin Chen had never seen such a Li Shenlan, weak and pitiful, helpless to the extreme. His teary eyes were staring at him, as if begging for shelter.

The ghost envoy couldn't help it, Yin Chen stretched out his hand and wrapped Li Shenlan in his arms, patted his back softly, and comforted him.

"I'm ...... Don't be afraid ......"

"Ah Ci, they are all bullying me...... Li Mingyue! Li Mingyue, she killed her father! I! I'm going to kill her! ”

Under Yin Chen's comfort, Li Shenlan muttered in her arms irregularly, as if she could do whatever she wanted with support.

The original restless mood gradually calmed down, and he shrank silently when Yin Chen came back, crying and calling "Ah Ci......

Concubine Xiang has never seen Yin Chen's tenderness, or she hasn't seen it for too long, so long that she doesn't think Yin Chen is a tender person at all.

And when everyone was relieved, no one noticed the queen standing behind Yin Chen. The eyes that were originally worried and scared had become dim at this time, and they looked at Yin Chen and Li Shenlan so stupidly.

It's like a play that should have been played watching a play, a play that has nothing to do with him......

In just a moment, Li Shenlan was calmed down. Seeing Yin Chen's worried eyes, Li Shenlan smiled a little weakly.

"Don't worry...... I'm fine......"

But before she could say anything more, her eyelids became heavy again, and Yin Chen in her eyes changed from one to two, two to three......

Seeing that Li Shenlan fell asleep again, Yin Chen sighed softly, picked her up, and put her back on the bed to sleep.

And when he turned around, Yin Chen saw the queen standing motionless outside, looking at his queen intently. The originally smooth movements suddenly paused, and the steps under his feet were a little out of order.

"You...... The queen is tired? ”

After a long time, Yin Chen opened his mouth to ask. Then he picked up a cup of tea and took a big sip.

"The concubine has been busy all day, and she is indeed tired."

Hearing this, Yin Chen looked outside, and it was getting darker and earlier in autumn, and it was completely dark at this time. I didn't expect things to be busy, but an afternoon passed.

"The queen is hard, go back and rest early. I'm looking at Shen Lan here, you'...... Let Concubine Xiang accompany you back. ”

The queen looked at the man in front of her, and finally felt that it was so strange, and the strangeness was a little scary.

"Okay, the concubine will retire."

Looking up again, the queen is the mother of the world, the gentle and virtuous queen, as if the lost soul just now was all an imaginary image.

The queen and Concubine Xiang walked out of Yongfu Palace, and Yin Chen looked at the empty palace gate. The huge Yongfu Palace is obviously guarded by a group of palace people outside, but Yin Chen feels so empty and cold.

"Hoo ......"

Yin Chen exhaled a long breath and sat down in his chair suddenly. The teacup was knocked over, and the harvest outside heard it and hurriedly came in to clean it up. But Yin Chen was worried at this time, and he couldn't get angry when he saw anything.

"Get out ......"

Shu Qiu's hand shook, and he hurriedly confessed and retreated in a low voice.

Yin Chen didn't know why, as if something had been choking his neck, and he couldn't catch his breath.

Thinking of Li Shenlan lying there lifelessly, with a small life in her stomach, Yin Chen turned from annoyance to anger, and suddenly smashed the teapot candlestick to the ground.

As soon as Qin Ye arrived at the door, he heard the crackling sound inside, and he didn't know whether to go in for a while.

"The Emperor...... Emperor. ”

"Come in."

Ceramic fragments on the ground, candlesticks were thrown to the ground, candles had long lost their shape, and candle oil was spilled on the ground.

"Back to the emperor, I found it."

As soon as the palace gate was locked, Qin Ye led the guards to search the various palace rooms. Finally, in Shen Jieyu's palace, to be precise, a puppet was found under her bed, exactly the same as the one at the beginning.

The only difference is that the puppet has blood dripping on its forehead, and there is still a worm in the puppet. That is what Concubine Xiang said at the beginning, Gu worms.

"But Shen Jieyu has been crying out for injustice since she was discovered, swearing not to do these things, and she must meet the saint face to face."

"What is there to explain here, there is no need to detain it, give death immediately!"

Yin Chen was so angry that he didn't want to interrogate Shen Jieyu at all, so he directly ordered her to be killed.

"Emperor!"

Outside the house, the voice that should have been resting in Shoukang Palace sounded. The Queen Mother was held by Ruozhu, and stood at the door so suddenly.

"Why is the emperor's mother here?"

"The emperor made such a big battle, and the mourning family didn't know it and understood it clearly. Even if it is not for Lan Zhaoyi, for the sake of the emperor and grandson, the mourning family should also come and see. ”

What the Queen Mother said was taken for granted, as if it was not her who insisted on killing Li Shenlan in the first place.

"The person has been found out, caught the thief and caught the dirty, and now the physical evidence is in front of him, why does the emperor want to open the net."

Although Yin Chen was dissatisfied with the Queen Mother's obstruction, he still helped her to sit on the seat.

Looking at the slag in that place, the Queen Mother looked at her son with a frown on her face and obvious displeasure.

"Emperor, behind Shen Jieyu is the captain of the superintendent cavalry, and it has something to do with the Lu family. At the beginning, he had already punished Lu Xin into the cold palace, and now he has killed the Shen family. What does the captain think, will the Lu family think that the emperor is rushing to kill everything? ”

Seeing that Yin Chen didn't speak, the Queen Mother finally eased up.

"So, no matter how guilty the Shen family is, at least for this time, they can't kill her."

In the front and back harem, it is often involved in moving the whole body, and it is not allowed to move.

Yin Chen was not the first day to be an emperor, so he naturally knew what was important. It's just that thinking that Li Shenlan is still lying on the bed, the dragon species doesn't know if it matters. Yin Chen's heart was panicked, and he smashed a punch on the table in anger.

"Go, burn this filthy thing first, so that Lan Zhaoyi can wake up earlier."

The Queen Mother didn't look at the emperor's attitude, and asked people to take out the puppet and burn it.

"Swing the Bell Palace."

Zhong Cui Palace, Shen Jieyu knelt on the ground and cried out of breath. It's just that no matter what Yin Chen said or how the Queen Mother asked, Shen Jieyu refused to admit that she had framed Li Shenlan.

"Your Majesty, don't you know what kind of person your concubine is after following you for so many years? Yes, the concubines are sometimes rampant and indulgent, but they have no intention of harming others! ”

Seeing that Yin Chen still didn't believe what she said, the Queen Mother kept emphasizing that she did it, and Shen Jieyu swore by her Shen clan in order to seek innocence.

Not to mention the ancients, today, from the royal family to the common people, there is no one who does not believe in the oath. Especially this kind of swearing by the lives of his loved ones, Rao is Yin Chen turned his head and looked at Shen Jieyu squarely.

"Shen, you keep saying that it has nothing to do with you, but this thing came out of your palace, and it has certification, what are you still quibbling about."

The certification that the Queen Mother said was the girl kneeling behind Shen Jieyu at this moment.

That was the personal palace maid of the Shen family, and the testimony was naturally powerful.

"The slave didn't dare to lie, the slave didn't dare to lie, the thing was put under the bed by the mother herself, and the blood was also dripped by herself. If the Queen Mother doesn't believe it, you can look at Niangniang's left index finger, but there is a needle eye on it. ”

Hearing this, the Queen Mother raised her head slightly, signaling Ruozhu to step forward and break Shen Jieyu's left hand.

Sure enough, there was a needle eye on that finger. It is absolutely true and cannot be denied.

"This is slander! Your Majesty, this needle eye was accidentally pierced by the concubine when she was embroidering that day, and that style is still on the table! ”

"The slave maid is also strange, saying that the mother has never embroidered this, but it has been embroidered in the past two days!"

Shen Jieyu is also helpless, no matter what she says, the palace maid can refute herself. But it was the truth, and Shen suddenly remembered something.

"Your Majesty! The concubine met the royal nobles that day! It's her! It's the flower she asked her concubine to embroider! The puppet was found in her palace in the first place! ”
