After arranging the day to be long, everyone retreated to the outside of the elegant palace, and the queen mother sat patiently on the main seat, holding a ginseng tea in her hand and slowly caressing the lid, not knowing what she was thinking.

Shang Kelan, as the master of Xianya Palace, naturally sat in the main hall and chatted with the palace concubines.

Except for Xiao Guiren, who was grounded, and Rou Jieyu, who was seriously ill, the rest of the people basically arrived.

As she was talking, Shang Kelan's face was slightly red, and she got up and said to the Queen Mother: "Empress Dowager Qi, the concubine's stomach is suddenly a little uncomfortable, I'm afraid it ......."

The Queen Mother was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but glance at her with disdain: "I don't look like a palace concubine at all, go and go back quickly." ”

Shang Kelan thanked the Queen Mother, then got up and went out, Zhiqiu followed behind her, Gardenia and Yuan Ge stayed in the hall to take care of the palace concubines.

After entering the Xianya Palace, the expression on Shang Kelan's face sank, and she said to Zhiqiu, "Did you just find anything in Concubine Ning's bedroom?" ”

Zhiqiu said with a solemn expression: "Qi Niangniang, the slave maid smelled a strange fragrance, which was exactly the same as the fragrance on her body when Niangniang took Concubine Ning back to the palace that day. ”

Shang Kelan nodded, looked directly at her and said, "This palace asked Wen Chun to take you to the Moon Palace secretly, but what did you find in the Moon Palace?" ”

Zhiqiu replied without hesitation: "Niangniang, the beautiful pictures of the rivers and mountains in the main hall of Lanyue Palace, as well as the four pillars and pillars, are all painted with vermilion pigment, and the pigment is mixed with the incense that Lanyue Palace burned at that time, which can be described as a fatal temptation to snakes, insects, rats and ants. ”

When Shang Kelan heard this, her willow eyebrows frowned slightly: "Then why did another bat commit suicide on that ghost's face and die?" ”

Zhiqiu shook his head and said, "This slave doesn't know, but those bats seem to be controlled by people, crashing into the pillar and dying, completely losing the sanity of the animal itself...... And that kind of incense, if the slave is not mistaken, is called 'Thousand Absolute Incense', which is produced in Meizhou's medical family, the Li family! ”

Li Jia...... Li Chenxiu?

Shang Kelan's eyes narrowed slightly, and the hand on the table gradually clenched.

Immediately, she let go of her hand again, smiled at Zhiqiu, and said, "You did a good job, this matter will be kept secret for the time being." ”

Zhiqiu nodded.

didn't stay long in Xianya Palace, Shang Kelan asked Xiaoxia to bring some chilled melons and fruits to the main hall of Qinyan Palace.

The weather outside was getting hotter, and everyone could still feel a heat just by placing the ice cubes in the main hall.

Eating some chilled melons and fruits does make people feel that the heat in their hearts has disappeared a lot.

At noon, in the courtyard of the Qin Yan Palace, a long-lived person set up a magic altar that day.

There was an incense burner on the altar, and a burning incense stick was inserted in the incense burner, and everyone watched from the main hall.

I saw that after Tian Yichang took out the peachwood sword on his back and waved it in the air a few times, the incense suddenly disappeared!

Without warning, the spark on it was extinguished in an instant, and everyone was shocked, very curious about what was going on, but when they saw that the sky was long and withdrew the peach wood sword in his hand, he stood with a pale face holding the altar, looking weak.

A palace maid hurriedly stepped forward to help her, Lu Xiang was the most eager, seeing this, she couldn't help but look at Tianyi nervously and said: "Dao Chief, may I ask if the evil in my mother's body can be removed?" ”

Tianyi waved his hand and said weakly: "This evil is too powerful, fortunately, Poor Dao has found out the hiding place of this evil just now." ”

As soon as these words came out, the Queen Mother immediately asked, "Where is the evil spirit?" ”

Concubine Hua also asked eagerly: "Dao Chief, what do you have to say, but it doesn't hurt to say it!" ”

As she spoke, she and Tianyi glanced at each other, and the two exchanged a look.

Say it quickly, say it, Concubine Chen's slut will die and have no place to be buried!

Concubine Hua could almost predict what would happen next, and her face couldn't help but show an expression of wanting to laugh.

She restrained the emotions in her heart, and instead glanced contemptuously in Shang Kelan's direction.

But seeing Shang Kelan standing in the crowd, her pink lips were slightly raised, and she looked at her with a smile.

The two looked at each other, and Concubine Hua couldn't help but jump her eyelids: What is going on with this Concubine Chen? It's clear that they're dying, but they can still laugh! Could it be that she is posturing?

It must be like this!

Thinking about it, Concubine Hua came back to her senses, the smile on her lips widened a little, and then turned her head.

In the curious or nervous eyes of the palace concubines, Tianyi Chang slowly stretched out his hand and pointed at it, and said in a deep voice: "That evil is hidden under a ginkgo tree in the southeast, the Queen Mother, you can send someone to find it, and the poor Dao can feel it, the evil is far away in the sky, close in front of you!" ”

The direction that Tianyi Chang pointed to was the southeast, and the first palace in the southeast to stand in front of everyone was the Xianya Palace.

And coincidentally, there happens to be a ginkgo tree in the courtyard of Xianya Palace.

Suddenly, the Queen Mother cast a serious gaze at Shang Kelan.

Lu Xiang also looked shocked, looked at Shang Kelan in disbelief and said, "Concubine Chen, you actually did such a thing to assassinate my master?" ”

Concubine Hua also followed, glaring at Shang Kelan with righteous words and said, "Sister Chen, even if you have a grudge against Sister Ning because of what happened a few days ago, you don't need to be so vicious to her, right?!" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the palace concubines were shocked on their faces, and they all discussed:

"This Concubine Chen usually looks very kind, and the punishment for Cui'er and Imperial Doctor Li last time was also very light, but I didn't expect it to be so insidious behind her back!"

"That's right, she actually wants to cure Concubine Ning to death!"

"Concubine Ning is so pitiful, the child in her womb is gone."

The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, how much favor Concubine Chen had usurped His Majesty before, and how much did these palace concubines want to give her back at this moment.

Shang Kelan looked calm, walked out of the hall, folded her hands in front of her forehead, and said to the Queen Mother respectfully and calmly: "The concubine begs the Queen Mother to find out the truth, find out where the evil is hidden, and return the concubine's innocence!" ”

As she spoke, she paused, and the corners of her lips raised slightly: "In addition, as far as the concubine knows, although Concubine Ning's sister lives in the East Palace, her Lanyue Palace is also located in the southeast, and there is also a palace concubine's bedroom in the southeast. ”

When the Queen Mother heard this, she frowned and asked, "Who is the palace concubine?" ”

Shang Kelan slowly raised her head, looked directly at Concubine Hua, and spit out three words unhurriedly: "Rou Jieyu." ”

Boom!

As soon as Shang Kelan's voice fell, Lu Xiang and Concubine Hua's hearts sank.

Rou Jieyu? How could Shang Kelan suddenly pay attention to an unfavored palace concubine in the harem?

Did she perceive something?!

Concubine Hua forced herself to hold back the throbbing in her heart, her eyes narrowed slightly, staring at Shang Kelan's figure tightly.

But Shang Kelan's gaze only stayed on her for a moment, and then quickly turned to the Queen Mother.

On the side, the queen's eyes flashed slightly, and she said to the queen mother: "Queen Mother, the concubine also thinks that Concubine Chen's words are true, since the three palaces are in the southeast, there is no obstacle even if you check it." ”

The Queen Mother nodded and said, "That makes sense, then you will go to the Xianya Palace with the mourning family first, besides, didn't Tianyi Chang say just now, that evil is far away in the sky, close at hand?" ”

As she spoke, the Queen Mother glanced at Shang Kelan lightly, and there was no trust in her eyes!
