Chapter 63: The sky grows
The next day, at the time of the hour, Xianya Palace.
Shang Kelan got up when she was young, combed her in a simple and gentle bun in late winter, wore a jasper cable bead hairpin on her head, and wore a lake-green embroidered lotus leaf palace dress, walking like a lotus pond fairy, which was moving.
After lightening the lipstick on her lips a little, Shang Kelan remembered the noise coming from the yard last night, and couldn't help but ask Gardenia suspiciously, "Gardenia, who came from the yard last night?" I heard it sounding a little noisy. ”
When Gardenia heard this, she couldn't help but show an angry expression on her face: "Niangniang, not long after you and Your Majesty rested in the dormitory last night, Lu Xiang of the Qinyan Palace ran over and cried and begged Your Majesty to take a look at Concubine Ning, isn't this intentional?" ”
Shang Kelan frowned slightly: "Why don't you come in and report this?" ”
Gardenia was stunned for a moment, and said, "What Chief Fu said, Your Majesty hates being disturbed when he is resting, so I didn't report this matter to you." ”
After Jin Yantang lay down on the bed with her last night, she wanted to wash Jin Yantang, but who expected Jin Yantang to fall asleep as soon as he touched the bed.
"Okay, let's go to Cining Palace with the palace to see the Queen Mother."
As soon as Shang Kelan finished speaking, Yuan Ge walked in with a serious expression and said: "Niangniang, the Queen Mother, the Empress, Concubine Hua and the other palace concubines in the harem have all come to Xianya Palace, and there is an old Taoist priest in a cyan Taoist robe who is walking with them. ”
Old Taoist? Could it be that Tianyi people from Zhongnan Mountain?
Shang Kelan hooked her lips and smiled, and said, "This palace knows, tell Zhiqiu to come in, you can retreat first." ”
When Shang Kelan used the self-title of "Bengong" to the palace maid, it showed that no one could disobey her orders.
After Gardenia and Yuan Ge retreated with the palace maid, Zhiqiu entered the palace.
Gardenia stayed outside, Yuan Ge went to receive the Queen Mother and others, I don't know what Shang Kelan said to Zhiqiu inside, and soon, Shang Kelan came out with Zhiqiu.
She smiled at Gardenia and said, "Go with the palace to see the Queen Mother." ”
Qin Yan Palace, inside the main hall.
As soon as the morning sun sprinkled into this courtyard, the palace concubines led by the Queen Mother walked into the main hall of the Qinyan Palace.
There are only twenty places in the Qin Yan Palace, and it is because Shang Kelan ordered people to move some chairs from the Xianya Palace, which is just enough for everyone to sit down.
The Queen Mother sat on the main seat of the main hall, Zhao Kehan stood beside her to serve, the Queen sat on the left side of the Queen Mother, and Shang Kelan and Concubine Hua sat opposite each other.
The old Taoist priest in Tsing Yi carried a peachwood sword on his back, held a dust whisk in his hand, and pinned a wine gourd to his waist, looking quite like a fairy wind and bones.
The queen mother said to the chief of the day: "It's not a secret, the mourning family invited the Taoist chief to enter the palace, also because there was a strange thing in the harem, and I wanted to ask the Taoist chief to cast a spell to resolve it." ”
She glanced at Mama Chen, and Mama Chen explained what happened in Lanyue Palace yesterday and Concubine Ning's miscarriage and serious illness one after another.
After listening to Tianyi patiently, his eyes narrowed slightly, touched his beard and said indifferently: "In this way, there is indeed evil in the palace, please rest assured that the Queen Mother is not afraid that since the poor Dao was born in Zhongnan Mountain, he will not lose the reputation of Zhongnan Mountain, and the old man will first see how the situation of Concubine Ning is, and then it is not too late to make plans!" ”
Hearing his sonorous words, the Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and she was a little convinced.
took Tianyi Chang into Concubine Ning's bedroom.
The queen, Concubine Chen, and Concubine Hua followed behind the Queen Mother.
In the dormitory, a strong smell of medicine lasted for a long time, Concubine Ning's face was pale, and in just a few days, she was thin as if she had changed a person, and only skin and bones were left in her body!
Rao is Concubine Hua saw it, and she couldn't help but be a little frightened!
She didn't expect that this Concubine Ning could be so cruel to herself!
Concubine Ning was unconscious, and the Queen Mother pointed at her and said, "Dao Chief, this is Concubine Ning." ”
Tianyi nodded, and suddenly shook the dust on Concubine Ning twice with the dust in his hand.
"Whew!"
Concubine Ning seemed to be aware of it, and suddenly opened her eyes and sat up from the bed, but that day, Concubine Ning fainted again and fell on the bed.
Except for Concubine Hua, everyone's faces showed surprise!
Zhao Kehan couldn't help asking, "Dao Chief, Concubine Ning woke up just now?" ”
Tianyi Chang paced back and forth in the room with his hands behind his back, sometimes sighing, sometimes shaking his head.
Hearing this, he turned his head to stare at the Queen Mother, and said with a serious face: "Queen Mother, after checking Concubine Ning's body with the eye of heaven, I found that there was a filthy breath lingering in the mother's belly, devouring the child in the mother's womb, so that it failed to keep the child. ”
The Queen Mother and the others were all frightened by him, but Concubine Hua frowned and asked, "Dao Chief, why did Concubine Ning Niangniang fall into evil, but someone assassinated Concubine Ning's Niangniang?" ”
Saying that, Concubine Hua glanced at Shang Kelan with a vague glance, and said nonchalantly: "If it weren't for the enmity with Sister Ning, who would have resorted to such a means to murder Concubine Ning?" ”
Have a grudge against Concubine Ning?
Among the people present, only Concubine Chen and Concubine Ning had a head-on conflict.
For the first time, Xiao Guiren on Concubine Ning's side framed Concubine Chen, and as a result, she was grounded.
The second time, Cui'er beside Concubine Ning blamed Concubine Chen for murdering the dragon heir, and was punished into the Xin Zheku.
For a moment, everyone's gaze on Shang Kelan changed.
Concubine Chen's expression was calm, and after listening to Concubine Hua's words, not only was she not annoyed, but she also smiled and agreed: "Sister Hua's speculation is not unreasonable, and listen to what the Taoist chief said, right?" ”
After leading the topic to Tianyi Chang, the Queen Mother set her eyes on Tianyi Chang.
Seeing this, Tianyi quickly replied: "To exorcise evil spirits, you must find the place where the evil is located, and it is not excluded that someone secretly persecuted Concubine Ning's mother. ”
Tianyi said mysteriously, the Queen Mother nodded thoughtfully, and then said to Tianyi: "Dao Chief, there are still a few hours before noon, you will rest for a while in the side hall of Xianya Palace, and the mourning family will order someone to bring you food." ”
As soon as the words fell, Mama Chen came to the Taoist chief with a tray in her hand.
The red cloth on the tray is lifted, and five gold ingots appear in the tray.
The Queen Mother smiled and said: "As long as the Taoist chief exorcises evil spirits for this harem, these gold and silver things will be regarded as the reward of the mourning family." ”
When the golden light flashed to the long eyes of the sky, he subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and a pair of cloudy old eyes quickly flashed with a touch of greed.
Mama Chen's eyes were slightly dim, and she looked at her eyes quietly.
I only listened to the sky and smiled indifferently: "Money is something outside the body, the queen mother's mind, the poor road is not easy to refuse, then good, in the afternoon, the poor road will clean up the evil in this palace, and give you a clean place!" ”
Behind her, Shang Kelan looked at the long appearance of this day, her pink lips were slightly raised, and she seemed to show a smile as if she was nothing.
At this time, Zhiqiu behind her seemed to notice something, and the tip of her nose moved slightly......
