Seeing that it was almost noon, it was time for the feast.

"Tell the ministers to have a feast, the Holy One will be here later." The queen asked the emperor for his opinion and instructed the people below to deliver the decree.

"Qi Yu Niangniang, I have asked everything that should be asked, and I didn't notice any suspicious people in terms of questioning." After a while, Qu Qing reported to the emperor and queen.

At that time, the emperor was concentrating with his eyes closed, and after listening to it, he snorted coldly and said: "Those who dare to do such things must be great traitors and evil people, such people are naturally thoughtful, but I am afraid that they have planned in advance." ”

"Then what should I do according to Your Majesty's wishes?" The queen also had no idea at this point.

Just like the emperor said, the people who dare to do this thing are too bold, she has never heard of it, and she can't think of any good way to deal with it.

The emperor began to have a headache again, and he reluctantly accepted the congratulations of the ministers just now, but at this time he only felt upset and irritable, and his face was extremely ugly.

"Your Majesty, is it another headache?" The queen asked with concern.

The emperor didn't speak, but his expression already said everything.

"The Queen Mother is about to arrive, I better go to the front first, wait for a while for the family banquet, and no one is allowed to show the news!" The emperor stood up and said in a deep voice.

The crowd hurriedly called "obeyed."

Then the queen took everyone to greet the queen mother, the queen mother is in a very good mood today, but she is now inconvenient to walk, and she has to be carried by the eunuchs and palace maids.

Everyone pretended to be happy, especially the queen, who was even more energetic to deal with it.

Wei Yining and others were also present, but after the banquet was over, after sending the Queen Mother back to the palace, they were taken out again and separated in different places, although they were not slow, but they were very strict and were not allowed to go out of the house.

"Your Majesty, in my opinion, this matter must be resolved quickly today, and the longer it drags on, the more difficult it will be to find out." Chen Shufei opened her mouth to suggest.

"Sister Shufei is reasonable," Zeng Lifei echoed: "You must find out the culprit, otherwise you will inevitably do evil in the future." ”

"It's not that the concubines are talkative, there have been some unpeaceful things in this palace recently," Xu Guifei, who had never expressed her position, spoke: "You should ask the master to calculate the years for Your Majesty, maybe the root of your illness is here." ”

The emperor glanced at Xu Guifei, his eyes were not good, but Xu Guifei was not afraid, and said: "The concubine is willing to take the risk for the sake of His Majesty's well-being, unlike some people, who only want to be courteous!" ”

Concubine Zeng Li's face turned purple all of a sudden, and she lowered her head and said nothing.

The emperor was unhappy in his heart, and reprimanded Xu Guifei and said: "It's good to talk about things, why bother about people?" ”

Xu Guifei seemed unwilling, but she didn't speak anymore after all.

The queen also felt that she should check on this, there were many strange things, and she herself was a little suspicious.

"There are many high-ranking monks in the palace today, so it is better to ask them," the queen suggested to the emperor in a soft voice: "Although His Majesty is the supreme son of heaven, it is not unreasonable to say that the passing years are not unreasonable, it is better to ......"

"Go and invite Master Zhiran," the emperor said, "and Taishi Ling." ”

Today, the palace invited a lot of monks to pray for the emperor, and the monk is the presiding officer of the Great Xiangguo Temple, and he is the most prestigious monk in Beijing.

The emperor did not let the queen and concubines avoid it, and asked bluntly: "I have been quite unwell recently, I don't know if it can be related to the passing years?" ”

"Your Majesty is Gengshenhuo, last year and this year belonged to water, from the perspective of the five elements, it is indeed a bit of a hindrance."

"Then according to the master's view, is there a way to crack it?" When the queen heard him say this, she hurriedly asked.

"Actually, it was originally fine," said clearly: "After all, the emperor is the most expensive life in the world, unless ......"

"Unless what?" When the emperor saw that he was a little embarrassed, he said, "You just say it, I don't blame you." ”

Then he said: "According to common sense, although these two years are not the emperor's auspicious years, there are only some small stumbles. However, if someone wants to do something with this momentum, it will be different. Now there is an excess of yin qi in this palace, which is indeed not beneficial to the emperor's health. ”

"Qi Qi Sheng, ladies and gentlemen, the ministers have long observed the celestial phenomena and found that there is a trend of yin stars hindering the lord, and they have already reported to the emperor and empress." Hong Taishi said.

"Now that the celestial phenomena have already appeared, why didn't you pay attention to it earlier?" Xu Guifei glanced at the queen as she spoke, as if she meant to accuse.

"The matter has come to this, Your Majesty, let Master Ran carefully refer to today's affairs!" The queen persuaded.

So the bowl of rotten Wanguo jade rice was brought to Zhiran, and he looked at it carefully for a long time.

Only then did he say: "The poor monk has low knowledge, and it seems that this is some kind of witchcraft that has long been lost. ”

"Can you find out who is a Gu person?" The emperor asked.

"As far as the poor monk knows, if this Gu technique is to work, the person who raises the Gu must be in this palace." Ran said: "And there must be this Gu, as long as you can find this Gu and remove it, it will be fine." ”

"What does that Gu look like?" The emperor asked.

"This poor monk is not very clear, but it should be some kind of poisonous insect, to be kept in a dark place and not see the light of day." He said, "This thing must be kept in a sealed vessel, and it will only be released when it is needed." ”

"Queen, what do you say?" The emperor turned his face to the queen and asked.

"The concubines are naturally also the emperor's safety," the queen hurriedly said: "Since Master Ran has already said so, then now ask the guards and servants to search carefully around the palace and find out the Gu." ”

So after the ministers withdrew from the palace gate, except for the residence of the queen mother, all places in the palace were searched.

For a while, there was a lot of trouble in the palace, and people panicked, but after searching all the residences, they did not find the so-called Ben Gu.

"According to me, it's not enough to search your home, you have to search everyone." Xu Guifei said coldly: "Especially those who often serve by the emperor's side, they can't be taken lightly. ”

Everyone could hear that her words were alluding to Concubine Zeng Li.

Concubine Zeng Li was not angry, but stood up and took the initiative to say: "What Sister Guifei said is that I don't dare to argue that I am not suspicious, so let's start with me first." ”

As he spoke, he walked behind the screen and asked Xu Guifei's palace maid to follow him over and search him.

After searching for a long time and finding nothing, Concubine Zeng returned to her seat.

Xu Guifei still didn't give up: "If I had expected it a long time ago, I naturally wouldn't have brought it with me." ”

"Have you made enough trouble?!" The emperor finally couldn't bear it anymore and scolded Xu Guifei: "At this time, I don't want to share my worries, but take the opportunity to vent my personal anger." Look at how much you have to accommodate people! After going back today, stay in your Tianxi Palace for reflection, and you will be allowed to go out in three months! ”

"Your Majesty's ......" Xu Guifei still wanted to argue, but the emperor looked at her coldly, and there was no temperature in his eyes.

Concubine Xu has been in the palace for 20 years, although she is not as graceful as Concubine Zeng Li now, but she has indeed been beautiful.

Now that he was scolded by the emperor like this in front of everyone, his face naturally couldn't be hung up, and tears came down.

The queen looked at her and did not speak, and she had experienced this chilling taste herself.
