Chapter 3 Playing the board
The next day, the weather was gloomy, and it looked like it was going to rain, and it was a sweltering summer, mixed with the chaotic chirping of cicadas.
The Lingxi Palace was full of canvas yellow talismans, Ye Zhaoyi was frightened that night, thinking that it was a ghost disorder, so he invited the master of the clear space early in the morning, and did not wear any jewelry on his hands and neck, but hung the Buddha beads, and from time to time anxiously glanced at the master who was chanting the scriptures in the hall: "Master of the clear space, how is it?" ”
"The evil has been overtaken by the poor monks." The Master of Clearance opened his eyes, and his eyes were unfazed, "It's just that the Yin Qi in the Spirit Rhino Palace is extremely heavy......
Those who die unjustly will not disperse after death, so it is so important that it is serious.
"With the master's practice, the Lingxi Palace is naturally safe and sound." Ye Zhaoyi looked at the Master of Clearance and replied intentionally or unintentionally.
The master of the clear space did not say it explicitly, but the wisdom of insight into everything in his eyes saw that Ye Zhaoyi was empty-hearted, and hurriedly changed the topic, "However, the master may help me find the stolen silver and ...... Jewelry? ”
Master Jingkong got up: "Amitabha, the theft of the Lingxi Palace is not the work of ghosts." The poor monk can't do anything, and if Zhaoyi Nian thinks that if he loses important property, when he searches it openly, he will naturally find out. ”
Ye Zhaoyi opened her mouth, but she was still a little unwilling when she came back to her senses: "Master, forgive me for being stupid, you may show me a direction?" ”
Master Jingkong pondered for a moment, turned the Buddha beads and chanted for a while, and then looked to the southwest, "Amitabha, monks do not participate in secular affairs. ”
Ye Zhaoyi looked at the direction where the Master of Clearance was looking, as if he understood something, with a look, Lilac hurriedly led someone to search, and he followed Master Clearance every step of the way, obviously he was scared last night.
Half an hour later, the chanting of the Master of the Clear Space stopped, Ye Zhaoyi opened his eyes, and saw the Lilac Ordered Guard to enter the door with a fat figure, and his voice was fierce: "Niangniang, your lost hairpin has been found, and it was done by Manager Wu." ”
"Mother, the old slave is wronged...... This hairpin was definitely not stolen by an old slave. "Mr. Wu is a good hand at pleasing his master, he often goes in and out of the Lingxi Palace to tie up Ye Zhaoyi, and he is a master who loves money very much, if he does it, it is also reasonable.
Lilac respectfully returned the hairpin to Ye Zhaoyi, and then snorted coldly: "The Internal Affairs Office is a blessed land with a lot of oil and water, and Manager Wu is even better at it after taking office, who in the palace doesn't know that you are greedy for money, who would have thought that you would be greedy for our Lingxi Palace, and now that people have obtained the stolen goods, you dare to deny it!" ”
Mr. Wu complained bitterly, but he couldn't tell the truth, he couldn't say that this hairpin ran into his pocket by himself?
After hesitating, Ye Zhaoyi was already angry, walked over in three or two steps, and kicked him in the chest: "Come on, tie someone up for me, send it to Fengqi Palace, and ask the queen to send it down." ”
She was frightened and frightened all night, and now in her palace, surrounded by henchmen, and with the master of the clear space in charge, she can't wait to sprinkle all her grievances on Manager Wu.
The guards hurriedly pressed the ghost crying wolf howling Manager Wu to lie on the ground, and tied him up without saying anything, no one wanted to be affected by Ye Zhaoyi's anger.
Manager Wu was fat and weak, and was pressed by several guards, unable to move at all, so he could only shout at the top of his voice: "Zhaoyi Niangniang, the slave is wronged...... Spare ......"
Among the big trees not far away, Chu Yue lay on a thick branch, took out two delicate small pastries from his pocket and fed them to his mouth, while enjoying the miserable 'music' of Mr. Wu, he was in a very good mood.
At this moment, the eunuch suddenly shouted: "The queen has arrived." ”
Chu Yue's expression was clear, she opened the leaves and looked down, only to see a graceful woman dressed in a red palace dress entering the courtyard gate, followed by more than a dozen palace people, with her own Weiya aura, but the corners of her lips often had a three-point smile, and she helped Ye Zhaoyi up gracefully and luxuriously: "Sister, you don't have to be polite, I heard that you were frightened last night, and this palace came to see how you are doing." ”
Ye Zhaoyi didn't expect the queen to come so suddenly, her usual arrogance was completely gone, her little hand quickly turned her back behind her, and quietly passed the hosta to the clove behind her, and then she stood up, her face was still a little pale: "Thank you for the queen's concern, the concubine is much better." Last night's scare...... It's all the ghost of this Mr. Wu. ”
Chu Yue saw Ye Zhaoyi's action as a thief, although she didn't know why she didn't dare to let the queen see this hairpin, but she felt that something was wrong in her heart, her eyes flickered, and when she saw that the queen had just finished questioning Manager Wu, she heard him begging for mercy bitterly, and said "The hairpin was not stolen by the old slave", and the queen said curiously: "Sister, the hairpin you lost...... Was it really found on Mr. Wu's body? There are similar or even identical jewelry in the palace......"
Ye Zhaoyi's heart trembled, and she hurriedly said, "Queen Mother, this slave is quibbling!" The concubine's hairpin was given by her father before entering the palace, and she came from Fanbang and was unique. ”
The queen nodded kindly: "I see, since it was given by my father, it is naturally precious......"
Chu Yue snorted coldly, picked a branch casually, and took advantage of the clove to quietly retreat, and the secret weapon came out-
Lilac only felt a sharp pain in her wrist, and if she didn't hold it, the hairpin fell to the ground, broken under the queen's nose, and the gentle jade was glowing with blue, and the queen only glanced at it, and her face changed suddenly: "This hairpin ......"
Ye Zhaoyi glared at the clove fiercely, and hurriedly bent down to pick it up: "This hairpin is very brittle, and it doesn't fall ...... Lilacs, don't hurry up and repair them, if you can't repair them, you will pay for the hairpin! ”
Lilac almost fell to her knees in fright, took the hairpin and put it in her sleeve, turned around and was about to leave, but was stopped by the queen: "Wait." She glanced at the personal palace maid: "Listen to the lotus." ”
Listening to the side of the mother of a country, he had a majestic and domineering spirit, raised his feet and walked in front of Lilac, just one look made Lilac tremble with fright, and obediently handed over the hairpin.
Tinghe glanced at it, and his face changed: "Niangniang, isn't this a relic left to you by Madame?" Since last year's Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, this hairpin has been lost......"
"This hairpin ......" The queen's kind face trembled, the corners of her raised mouth sank, and her eyes suddenly cooled, "Ye Zhaoyi, you are so bold!" ”
Everyone in the courtyard saw that the queen mother, who had always been kind, was moved, and knelt on the ground, and the first to bear the brunt was Ye Zhaoyi, trembling like sifting chaff: "Concubine...... The concubine doesn't know, it must be Lilac's dead girl......"
At this time, Manager Wu, who was tied to death like a zongzi, suddenly shouted with a vengeance: "Ye Zhaoyi, didn't you keep saying that this is the most precious hairpin you lost?" Why is it lilaced again? ”
"No...... Concubine ......" Ye Zhaoyi's throat was choked fiercely, and she couldn't find an excuse for a while, and her face turned pale.
Chu Yue relaxed, watching them eat dog, and at the same time as Ye Zhaoyi opened his mouth again, a silver needle flew out of his fingertips, and before everyone had time to notice, the silver needle quickly sank into the back of Ye Zhaoyi's neck.
The queen said in a deep voice: "What else do you have to say?" ”
"......" Ye Zhaoyi opened her mouth, she really couldn't make a sound, and her neck was thick in a hurry.
The queen closed her eyes and put away the hosta: "Ye Zhaoyi's words and deeds are immoral, and the most important thing is thirty boards, and after a month of thinking behind closed doors, she copied the "Meditation Sutra". ”
Chu Yue hooked her lips, Ye Zhaoyi's hoarse scream sounded behind her, she raised her feet and left, and quietly walked out of the Lingxi Palace, leaving no trace.
