"Niangniang, what did Concubine Jing tell you?" Yu Die asked curiously when she heard Nalan Qiqing's face change and she muttered to herself.

"That was many years ago, that year, I had just been canonized as the queen by the Holy Lord, and on the night after the canonization, Concubine Jing's sister fell ill, so I went to visit her in the evening to visit her. That night, she seemed to be very afraid of something, saying that she was bored in the afternoon, and was about to embroider a double-sided embroidered screen ornament for me as a birthday present, when she had a nightmare, as if a woman had killed her, and when she woke up, she fell ill. She begged me to send someone to search her palace, because she suspected that someone had infiltrated her palace. Hearing her say this, I didn't dare to take it lightly, so I immediately ordered the Royal Forest Army to search the palace completely, but after searching for almost two hours, I found nothing, I thought it was just a hallucination after her illness, so I didn't take it to heart. It was close to midnight, and I went back to my palace. Didn't expect ......"

Nalan Qiqing stood up, walked to a multi-treasure grid next to the dresser as she spoke, stared at a very beautiful double-sided embroidered screen ornament on the top, and fell into a memory, so much so that she forgot to continue.

"Mother? What's wrong with you? You okay? Seeing that Nalan Qiqing was halfway through speaking, Yudie suddenly stared at a double-sided embroidered screen ornament on Duobaoge, and asked worriedly when she fell into deep thought with a sad face.

"Oh, it's okay, it's okay, where did I just go?" Nalan Qiqing was awakened by Yu Die's words, and asked apologetically retracting her thoughts.

"Niangniang just said that there was no result in searching the palace, so you went back to the palace, and after saying three words, I didn't expect to say any more. What happened afterwards that you didn't expect it? Yudie prompted, and then asked.

"What happened later, when Sister Jing told me afterwards, I thought it was incredible, and I didn't believe it was true. But now that I think about it, maybe it's true. That night, after I left, Concubine Jing's sister probably slept in the afternoon, and she was not sleepy at all, so she didn't sleep again, so she simply got up and sat down at the table and planned to continue embroidering the double-sided embroidered screen ornament to pass the time. Just when she was thinking about embroidering a double-sided face of me and her in order to symbolize the deep sisterhood between the two of us, when midnight came, she suddenly felt very sleepy, so she fell asleep directly on the table. Do you know what she sees when she wakes up? ”

Nalan Qiqing continued with a confused expression, and in the end, she sold it again.

"This ...... What can you see? Die'er can't guess, Niangniang, do you know that Die'er is the least brainy, tell Die'er, right? Yudie frowned and thought about it, but she didn't think of anything, so she couldn't wait to beg.

When she woke up, she found that she was already ugly, and there was a double-sided embroidered screen ornament in front of her, which happened to be me and her. She hurriedly called the personal palace maid Cui'er and asked her who had been here before. As a result, Cui'er said that she didn't know either, because she had also fallen asleep one hour before. Then Concubine Jing's sister asked Cui'er to call her palace, and all the royal guards asked, but they didn't expect those royal guards to kneel on the ground, ashamedly saying that they were also asleep, and took the initiative to ask Concubine Jing to punish them. When this sister Jing Fei heard this, she thought it was a warm-hearted and skillful palace maid in her palace, and when she saw that she was sick, she guessed her mind and quietly helped her embroider, so she didn't take it seriously. I plan to gather all the palace maids to ask the next day, find out who it is, and then reward her in person. However, the next day......"

Nalan Qiqing continued to speak slowly, but when she talked about the back, she stared at the double-sided embroidered screen ornament in her hand and fell into memory.

"Mother, what happened the next day?" Yudie saw Nalan Qiqing talking and not talking, and urged again.

The next morning, after she summoned all the palace maids to inquire, no one admitted to embroidering this screen ornament. Just when Sister Concubine Jing thought that the other party was embarrassed to admit it, I went to visit her again because I was worried about Sister Jingfei's condition. When I accidentally saw this exquisite double-sided embroidered screen ornament on the table, I was moved, and I also counted her for not caring for her body too much, blaming her for not having a good rest when she was sick, and actually staying up late to embroider this face for me. Because according to my experience, it takes at least three hours to embroider such a delicate double-sided embroidery. And when I left last night, she hadn't embroidered at all, so didn't she embroider all night? Who knew that Concubine Jing's sister insisted that it was not her who embroidered it, but someone else. also asked her personal palace maid to testify for her, proving that she did not stay up late! Butterfly, if it were you, who do you think would embroider it? ”

Nalan Qiqing slowly narrated with mixed emotions.

"This ...... I don't know either. It's just that it's all amazing, right? Let's not talk about who embroidered it, it is impossible to embroider such a beautiful screen in an hour! Even if she is the best embroiderer, it is impossible to embroider such a vivid double-sided embroidered face without more than three hours. But Niangniang, you just said that Concubine Jing fell asleep when she was a child, and when she woke up when she was ugly, this embroidery had already been embroidered. Isn't that just an hour? How is this possible? Die'er thinks it could be embroidered by Concubine Jing herself, but she deliberately asked the palace maids to lie, just because she didn't want you to think that this was a birthday gift that she embroidered when she stayed up late with illness, and couldn't accept it with peace of mind, right? ”

Yudie said with a blank face, and tried to say her guess again.

"Well, to be honest, I thought the same thing you thought at the time, that is, I thought she told me a white lie. So I didn't delve into this matter anymore. Besides, I really liked this double-sided embroidered screen ornament, so I happily accepted it, and has always treasured it on this multi-treasure grid in my bedroom. About a year after this incident, when I was almost forgotten, one day, Sister Jing told me that she had a nightmare. said that in a dream, a woman who looked exactly like her appeared in her palace, and said that the woman personally admitted that she had embroidered the double-sided embroidered screen ornament a year ago. At the end of the dream, the woman was so fierce that she cut off her head with her sword! Then she woke up screaming! When she wakes up to find out that it happens to be ugly! Of course, I don't believe it, and I haven't paid attention to it. Unexpectedly, on that day every year, Concubine Jing's sister would tell me that she had that nightmare again! ”

Nalan Qiqing nodded and admitted, saying in an extremely unbelievable tone while reminiscing.

"Huh? Mother, this is terrible, isn't it? Could it be that since Concubine Jing got this double-sided embroidered screen ornament on that day, she has had the same nightmare every year from midnight to ugly? Could it be that yesterday was also the day she had nightmares all these years? However, even if she really dreamed of a woman who was exactly like her in her dream, wouldn't it be okay to wake up! Then why didn't not only did she really die this time, but everyone in the palace died! Or are they all beheaded like in a nightmare? ”

Yudie asked in shock, and stared at the double-sided embroidered screen ornament on Duobaoge with extreme fear, as if the face on the screen was no longer the queen's mother, but a grimace.

"Hey...... I don't know why! That's right, Concubine Jing's sister has the same nightmare every year when she is ugly at midnight. Because I always thought it was a repetitive nightmare, just a coincidence. So every time I simply comfort her, even if it's in the past. Sometimes, when I see her emotionally uncontrollably repeating this matter, I will impatiently divert the topic and simply stop discussing it. Now that I think about it, I was really wrong! If I had taken it seriously, I would have asked some masters in the world to take a closer look and find out the reason, maybe Sister Jing would not have died! ”

Nalan Qiqing sighed and said, her tone full of deep remorse.

"Mother, you can't be blamed for this. Even if you invite someone high, you may not be able to find out the truth! After all, all this is too unbelievable and beyond human control. By the way, Niangniang, Die'er thinks that the root of all this, in addition to that nightmare, is this double-sided embroidered screen ornament. The nightmare is too illusory to verify. But this screen ornament is real, can we find a way to find out the origin of this screen ornament, maybe it will be of great help to solve the case? ”

Yudie couldn't bear to see Nalan Qiqing blame herself so much, and hurriedly comforted.

"What you said makes sense, I think in addition to this screen ornament, there is also a very key question, that is, from midnight to ugly, will Concubine Jing's sister palace really make everyone fall into a coma? Perhaps after finding out the cause of this mysterious phenomenon, the truth will be revealed. It seems that it is necessary to go to Concubine Jing's sister's palace at midnight. In this way, there is still half an hour before the hour, and I want to take this double-sided embroidered screen ornament to the palace of Concubine Jing. You arranged for two teams of royal guards to accompany me, one team went in with me and stayed inside for an hour from the time of the child to the time of the ugly, and the other team guarded the outside of Concubine Jing's sister's palace and met us at any time. If I really fall into a coma during this hour, then tomorrow I will tell His Royal Highness the Crown Prince all this, and let him investigate according to this line of thought, maybe he will be able to solve the case as soon as possible. This is the last thing I can do for Sister Jingfei. ”

Nalan Qiqing listened to Yudie's suggestion, and suddenly had an idea, and said in a firm tone.

"Huh? Go to ...... at midnight Murder...... Scene......" Listening to Nalan Qiqing's words, Yudie asked tremblingly......
