Inside the Yining Palace.

The Queen Mother held a Buddhist scripture in her hand, her eyes half-narrowed as if she was about to sleep.

Suddenly, the doors of the temple were opened.

The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes and saw Yuxiu coming in with a palace maid.

The palace maid was wearing a dark green palace dress, holding a hexagonal silk lantern in her hand, her face was a little pale, and she didn't have time to take care of it when she saw the queen mother.

Seeing her such a messy appearance, the Queen Mother showed a little displeasure on her face, but she still asked gently, "What?" I came to find the mourning family so late, but what happened to Yunxiu Palace? ”

Fanzhi raised her eyes, looked at the shrewd eyes of the Queen Mother, and said: "The slave maid searched the palace today, and found this in the room of a small master of Yunxiu Palace, and did not dare to delay, so I came to report it." ”

After Fanzhi finished speaking, she took out a piece of yellow paper from her arms.

The yellow paper was very thin, and Fanzhi was very careful when she took it out, for fear of breaking it.

Yuxiu took the yellow paper in Fanzhi's hand, looked down at it, her eyebrows suddenly jumped, her face was instantly solemn, as if she remembered something, she didn't dare to delay, and immediately stepped forward to show it to the Queen Mother.

Yuxiu is the old lady who serves by the Queen Mother's side, calm, and she has always been the style of not liking form for so many years, and now she is frightened by a piece of yellow paper and changes her expression.

It seems that this yellow paper has a reputation.

Fanzhi thought so, but remained silent on the surface.

The Queen Mother glanced at Yuxiu and reached out to take the yellow paper.

Yellow paper is nothing special about other papers, except that they are very thin.

It's just that on the yellow paper, there are some messy things drawn with cinnabar, which looks like some kind of incantation.

The Queen Mother took a look, and sure enough, her face instantly collapsed.

The Queen Mother pondered intently, and her doubts suddenly arose, is someone practicing the art of disgust in the palace? Who is so daring? Although this cinnabar looks messy, what is hidden inside is a person's birthday.

The Queen Mother's former uncle was a charlatan, and he once told her how to draw charms, although these are all fake, but they are just through people's own doubts, and they are just confused.

If you believe, you will have, and if you don't believe, you will not.

It's just that in the palace, I hate the art of disgust with victory.

The first emperor is one of them.

There was a concubine back then, in order to compete for favor, she invited a warlock and asked for a charm.

She boiled the three bowls of water into a bowl of water and gave it to the emperor, and since then she has won the favor of the special room.

Later, if it weren't for the gradual decline of the first emperor's body, the long-term inconsolation of the imperial doctor, and the almost death, the concubine panicked, and couldn't help the queen's drastic methods to tell the truth.

I'm afraid that the first emperor has already died.

Since then, the first emperor has decreed that anyone who encounters such a technique will be dealt with as a serious crime.

Exile at the least, death with a rod.

The first emperor also sent the concubine and the prince into the cold palace together, leaving them to fend for themselves.

Since then, everyone in the palace has been silent about this, and they don't even dare to mention it.

The Queen Mother crumpled the yellow paper into a ball, pinched it in her hand, and asked, "You said that this was found in the show girl's room?" ”

Fanzhi nodded and replied respectfully, "Yes." ”

"What's her name?" The Queen Mother leaned on the cushion behind her, and her voice gradually deepened.

"Nie Hongzhao." After Fan Zhi finished speaking, she raised her eyes and looked at the Queen Mother.

The shrewd eyes of the Queen Mother flashed with a hint of brightness, and soon they were calm again, and suddenly, Fanzhi thought that she had seen it wrong.

"Hongzhao?" The corners of the Queen Mother's lips raised slightly, looking at Yuxiu who bowed her head and served beside her, as soon as she raised her arm, Yuxiu hurriedly held it with both hands and helped the Queen Mother up from the soft couch.

The Queen Mother walked up to Fanzhi and said, "But the daughter of Duke Chengen, Nie Hongzhao?" ”

Fanzhi nodded: "Yes, it's her." ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, her heart was very happy, and her face remained calm as usual, not happy or angry, "Who else knows about this?" ”

Fanzhi's head pressed lower: "Only the slave and maid know about this matter, when the palace was searched, it was the small master room of Hongzhao that the slave and maid searched, and when the slave and maid saw this thing, they immediately put it in their sleeves, and no one saw it." ”

"Good." The Queen Mother smiled: "The mourning family feels that among the palace maids of the same generation, only you are the most favored by the mourning family." It's a pity, you'll be twenty-five next year, and you'll be released from the palace soon. ”

Fanzhi heard the words of the Queen Mother, and suddenly her back was cold, as if a cold sweat was coming out layer by layer, and she was so shocked that she immediately kowtowed and said: "The slave is frightened, if the Queen Mother does not dislike the slave and the maid is stupid, the slave and the maid are willing to serve the Queen Mother for life." ”

"Oh, really?" The Queen Mother bent over, stretched out her bent index finger, pressed against Fanzhi's tight jaw, and with a little force, raised her head, and stared at her with smiling eyes.

"Being able to serve the Queen Mother for life is a blessing that the slave maid has cultivated for several generations, and I hope that the Queen Mother will be fulfilled!" In the last sentence, with all her strength, her body became more and more tense, and her expression became more and more solemn, she didn't dare to show half an inappropriate look, she knew deeply that the Queen Mother was powerful, and she only wanted her loyalty to be exchanged for a good ending.

She didn't want to die in the palace of old age, helpless, and there was no descendant after death, only a broken mat, which became the final destination.

After so many years in the palace.

Countless palace maids, aunts, and grandmothers.

I can't get out of the palace.

In the end, they all became lonely ghosts.

That's so sad.

She didn't want to, she was trapped by Daming Palace all her life.

But now, she has no choice, she only hopes that the Queen Mother can take pity on her loyalty and let her leave the palace safely at the age of twenty-five.

Outside the palace, there is also her lover, waiting for her.

That's all she was looking forward to.

"Alright, get up." The Queen Mother let go, turned around and sat back on the soft couch, picked up the Buddhist scriptures on the small mahogany table, and waved her hand at Fanzhi, "Take care of your loyalty to the mourning family, and in the future, your blessings will definitely be not shallow." Go down, mourning is tired. ”

Fanzhi listened to the Queen Mother's words, was relieved, kowtowed heavily to the Queen Mother, and got up to leave.

As soon as he stepped out of the threshold, he heard the deep voice of the Queen Mother behind him coming slowly, "You let that show girl copy the Diamond Sutra a hundred times for the mourning family, if you don't finish copying it, you are not allowed to step out of the palace gate of Yunxiu Palace." ”

"Whoa."
