028 Witchcraft practices
Concubine Li is also aware of this problem. Just about to speak. was stopped by a cold look from Empress Dowager Chen.
Now is the time to act rashly.
But Shangguan Erya is really good. One sentence will be an army of Lord Liang.
Lord Liang glanced at Concubine Li quickly. Seeing that she did not say anything. He was ruthless in his heart. replied: "Of course it has something to do with the emperor."
He has to pat the emperor's ass. Otherwise, it is a capital offense.
Shangguan Erya smiled. Lord Liang is indeed a pillar of the country who is loyal and patriotic. Come to think of it too. It doesn't rain for months in southern Xinjiang. Now that the emperor has climbed high to ask for rain, it will rain in southern Xinjiang. It must be for this reason."
Lord Liang smiled and said, "Yes. . You're talking about it."
"That's not because my father is the true son of heaven." Ji Fanchen couldn't help but muttered again.
The queen shook her head at him. It's too much to say at this time.
Ji Cangzi laughed in his heart. Ji Fanchen really doesn't know what to say. Now I'm still begging Shangguan Erya to slap my face.
Shangguan Erya then showed a puzzled expression. Oh, yes. The emperor begs for rain. It's raining all over the place. Why is it only Kyoto that is not down. Why is Lord Liang like this?"
"How do I know?" Lord Liang blurted out.
Shangguan Erya looked at him steadily. I'm just a woman, though. But he also knows that Qin Tian is in charge of observing the celestial phenomena. Calculus gossip good luck and evil. Now something so strange has happened. Lord Liang only said that he didn't know. Wouldn't it be too arbitrary?"
The emperor looked at Lord Liang suspiciously. Immediately frightened him to his knees. Trembling: "Your Majesty. Wechen ...... Wechen is just a quick talker."
"Your Majesty. Lord Liang also said that you begged for rain to succeed. It's just that there must be something strange when it doesn't rain in Kyoto. However, the courtier's ability is limited. I also ask someone from the Qin Heavenly Prison to do a divination."
"Liang Yan. What the hell is going on?"
Lord Liang's cold sweat was dripping. He almost hated Shangguan Erya to death. There was a look of embarrassment on his face.
"The matter. Wechen will definitely find out."
Since even the emperor said so. Others also have nothing to say.
Ji Cangzi suddenly realized at this time. No wonder Shangguan Erya looks confident. I was waiting here.
It rained in the most water-scarce places in Nanliang. Not only in Kyoto.
What does that mean?
There must be a cat.
But what did Shangguan Erya do.
He wouldn't mind helping her again. Anyway, he wanted to know what the hell was going on.
"Lord Liang. You're still finding out now. How to explain to the people after today. Don't let the emperor fall into a difficult situation."
"Yes. Be...... Wechen did his best."
Lord Liang took out the small compass he had always carried with him. Then walk outside the main hall to check.
The sky was overcast at this time. It's not evening yet. It's already dark.
The emperor also walked out of the main hall. The others also couldn't sit still and got up.
It's just that when passing by Shangguan Erya's side. All showed mixed expressions.
Empress Dowager Jiang didn't want Ji Xinian to talk to Shangguan Erya. Keep holding his hand and leaving.
Only Ji Cangzi ignored Concubine He's face. Quietly walked to Shangguan Erya's side and wanted to help her up. was dodged by Shangguan Erya.
"The second prince doesn't need help."
She won't appreciate it.
Ji Cangzi sneered. Just let me be nosy. You don't have to ask what I want to do."
Shangguan Erya glanced at him. Concubine He can't stand you being so willful."
"My mother's concubine ......," Ji Cangzi said in a low voice. You don't have to worry about her."
"Why should I care about her." Shangguan Erya asked funny.
"I'm not going to let her hurt you. You can rest assured."
"You think I'm going to be scared."
“……”
Ji Cangzi was speechless when asked.
He really wanted to grab Shangguan Erya's ears and say: You really don't know what to do.
But he couldn't even touch Shangguan Erya's sleeve. Not to mention such an intimate move.
Ji Cangzi was a little lost. But thinking that at this moment, it was him and Shangguan Erya standing side by side. It's a burst of ecstasy.
He even had a delusion. If they are together. There is an opportunity to join forces.
If there is if.
Ji Cangzi was a few steps behind. Chased after him again. But Shangguan Erya was already standing quietly behind everyone.
He didn't want to say anything more.
Everyone saw Lord Liang walking around with a compass. The brow is furrowed deeper and deeper. Then he looked at the sky with a frightened expression.
"What's wrong?" The emperor asked.
Lord Liang hurriedly suppressed his fear. Leaned over and replied, "Go back to the emperor. It's really strange that there is no rain in Kyoto today."
The emperor said in a deep voice: "What is it for?"
Then. Concubine Li couldn't help but be anxious. Taking advantage of the fact that others don't care, he desperately gives Lord Liang a look.
Everyone is looking at Lord Liang. No one noticed. Only Shangguan Erya unconsciously hooked the corners of his mouth. Silence continues.
Lord Liang on the opposite side looked up several times. I also saw Concubine Li's expression.
He saw Concubine Li's gaze and gestured to Shangguan Erya. I couldn't help but look embarrassed. Then he said, "The minister doesn't dare to say it."
"No matter what you say. I don't blame you."
The words fell. Lord Liang threw himself on his knees. Kowtowed: "This matter is indeed man-made."
Concubine Li suddenly breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone else was shocked.
Empress Dowager Chen said sharply: "Artificial. Why do you say that?"
"Wechen used a compass for divination. It really should rain in Kyoto today. But a fierce wind blew away."
"What is the wind of evil?" Empress Dowager Jiang couldn't help but ask.
Lord Liang wiped a cold sweat and replied, "This wind is not natural. Rather, it was produced by witchcraft. In order to prevent the rain from raining. This is the way to defy the heavens. Damnation will be meted out."
The emperor was shocked. He shouted angrily, "Who did it?"
"Wechen...... Wechen doesn't know." Lord Liang shook his head.
"Then how do you find out if it's artificial." The queen asked.
And Concubine He pulled Ji Cangzi to his side on the side. She always felt that this matter had nothing to do with Shangguan Erya. It's better to keep Cangzi away from that scourge.
If Shangguan Erya is the one who uses witchcraft. That's the great sin of the Nine Clans.
Concubine Li couldn't hold back her excitement and said, "Lord Liang. Don't you dare to name that man?"
Lord Liang desperately denied it." No. Wechen just used the compass to figure out the direction of the spell."
"Where." The emperor asked.
Lord Liang's head hung lower. Then he took out the compass and said, "In the southwest corner of the palace."
Concubine Li almost blurted out that it was not the direction of Prince Gong's Mansion. But it's not right to think about it. Prince Gong's Mansion is in the southeast corner.
"You're not mistaken." Concubine Li didn't think too much. I just thought that Lord Liang misremembered the location of Prince Gong's Mansion.
Ji Cangzi heard her ask. The corners of the mouth are raised. Suddenly, he said, "Southwest corner. Isn't that Concubine Li's Hehuan Palace?"
That's right. It's Hehuan Palace.
If it's somewhere else. But the concubines of the first emperor are in addition to the queen mother of the two palaces. Only Concubine Li is still in the palace. Others were either martyred. Either they were sent to the royal monastery to become nuns.
At that time, the palaces of the emperor's concubines were all in the southwest corner. And the queen mother of the two palaces moved to the main halls of the east and west palaces. Now in the southwest corner, only Hehuan Palace is inhabited.
There is no one else except Concubine Li.
And everyone looked at the place not far away. Concubine Li saw that everyone's eyes were focused on her. I can't help but be angry.
"What does it have to do with me."
Because Concubine Li didn't do it at all. She doesn't panic. There is only deep anger.
"Lord Liang, don't be a fool."
"Wechen doesn't have one." Lord Liang shouted for injustice. Show the hands of the compass to the people." Emperor. The pointer above is in the direction of the southwest corner. Wechen has checked it several times. There's no going wrong with that."
Concubine Li snorted, "It's just a compass that can explain something."
Since Lord Liang has wronged her. Then don't blame her for not being emotional.
"Before, I asked you to ask for rain, and you just pushed back and said that you didn't have that ability. What can divination count now? It's simply nonsense. I haven't done anything."
Concubine Li raised her hand again and pointed at Shangguan Erya, who was out of the way. Isn't Shangguan Erya giving you any benefits? That's what you said."
Lord Liang blushed. I was trembling with anger." Do we have the ability to do it? Don't you know that Concubine Li?"
He turned his head and said to the emperor again: "Please let the emperor know. At that time, it was Concubine Li who said that she would ask for rain and let Shangguan Erya do it. can also please the emperor. That's why Qin Tianjian will withdraw. But now Concubine Li said that Shangguan Erya has given us benefits. That's what comes out of nowhere. In order to prove that Qin Tianjian is really capable. Please ask the emperor to order someone to check the Hehuan Palace. Let's see if Concubine Li has really been wronged."
Concubine Li's eyes widened in disbelief. This Liang Yan actually said everything.
"What if it hadn't. Does it mean that your Qin Heavenly Prison is just a rice bucket?"
Lord Liang is not to be outdone. Take the black gauze hat off your head." Wechen is willing to take the head as a guarantee."
Oh yo. Things are playing big. Then shouldn't Concubine Li also say something.
Now no one doubts Shangguan Erya anymore. They all stared at Concubine Li suspiciously.
Concubine Li is difficult to ride a tiger. Secretly gritted his teeth. Xun Ran wanted to cry and said, "Then ask the emperor to go up and check. How could I possibly do such a thing."
Shangguan Erya suddenly spoke. Actually, it's not without reason."
Concubine Li raised her head suddenly. Stared at her with a tearful eye.
"Why am I doing this?"
Shangguan Erya blinked innocently. It's better to ask the emperor to check it out first. Concubine Li will answer this question again."
Concubine Li felt as if she had been cheated by Shangguan Erya. Hate said: "Okay. I didn't do anything anyway."
The emperor doesn't talk nonsense either. Find the Praetorian Guards around you to check.
Now he doesn't believe anyone.
It's come to this point. The expressions of the crowd also changed a few times.
Originally, someone wanted to harm Shangguan Erya. Someone else took the opportunity to fall into the well. Why did he pull Concubine Li into the water now?
There's something strange about this.
The queen and Ji Fanchen had long been obediently silent. for fear of burning the fire on his head.
And Empress Dowager Chen had a solemn face. She knew about Concubine Li's conspiracy with Liang Yan. Now Liang Yan suddenly changed his words and really received the benefits of someone. Still is...... There are other reasons.
By now, Empress Dowager Jiang has seen everything clearly. Her gaze was blankly on Shangguan Erya.
Such a difficult situation. This girl can turn over.
