Chapter 56: Grimace Revealed
From the very beginning, Concubine Hua deliberately led the topic to the matter of witchcraft.
As soon as the Queen Mother asked like this, it was as if someone had really done something ominous to Concubine Ning, and suspicious eyes loomed in these concubines, and some even turned their eyes to her!
Gardenia couldn't wait to step forward and scold these people for being rude, but the Queen Mother was here, and she was also powerless.
Shang Kelan secretly saw the situation in the field and was unmoved.
She picked up a cup of tea in her hand, shook the tea body lightly, and listened quietly to Concubine Hua.
But I heard Concubine Hua smile at the Queen Mother: "The concubine heard that the most prestigious Tianyi person in Zhongnan Mountain has now come to the capital, and is looking at feng shui, measuring good fortune and evil, and driving away demons and evil spirits for big families in the capital, which is very effective, can't we just invite someone from Tianyi to come in and take a look?" ”
Jungnam Mountain?
Shang Kelan has seen it in ancient books, and it is recorded that the Taoist temple of Zhongnan Mountain is lived by some Taoist masters, who usually hide from the world, and only go down the mountain when the people are in trouble, helping the world and saving people, and has a good reputation among the people, and it is also very influential.
The Queen Mother naturally knows it, but she has never believed in these ghosts and gods in her heart.
So, she suppressed the doubts in her heart, and turned to Concubine Hua: "There is no need to worry about this matter, when the mourning family asks the Su Yuan of the Tai Hospital to come over and diagnose Concubine Ning, it is not too late to make a decision, besides, the Su Yuan judgment is the best doctor in the capital, the Mourning family doesn't believe it, and even the Su Yuan judgment can't find out the cause of Concubine Ning's miscarriage!" ”
I didn't expect this queen mother to be so difficult to convince, obviously when everyone talked about Hong Yuanwai just now, there was a bit of belief in the queen mother's eyes.
In that case, then she had no choice but to ......
Thinking about it, Concubine Hua gave Lu Xiang a look.
Lu Xiang nodded secretly, and then turned to go down.
At the same time, Concubine Hua no longer argued with the Queen Mother, but echoed with a smile: "Everything is up to the Queen Mother, after all, Sister Ning has been the biggest victim from beginning to end!" ”
At this time, Zhao Kehan, who had been listening quietly, also had a slight glint in his eyes, and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, Your Majesty's first child is gone like this, I'm afraid Your Majesty is the saddest one, right?" ”
When the Queen Mother heard this, she couldn't help frowning, and immediately said to Mama Chen: "Go to the Tai Hospital to spread the will of the mourning family, and let the Su Yuan judge come over immediately to treat Concubine Ning!" I can't find out the reason for Concubine Ning's miscarriage, don't ask for the black yarn on his head! ”
Mama Chen hurriedly said: "Yes! ”
Seeing that the queen mother was really angry, the concubines immediately kept silent and sat upright.
Just when Mama Chen just walked out of the main hall gate, Lu Xiang walked in with a few palace maids carrying incense burners.
This incense burner is small and delicate, it is made of bronze, hollow and carved, very lovely.
White smoke came out of the incense burner, exuding a refreshing fragrance.
The concubines couldn't help but move their noses and sniffed obsessively.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but soothe her expression, and her brows were slightly relaxed.
She looked at Lu Xiang condescendingly and said, "What are you bringing here, why is there such a refreshing fragrance?" ”
Different from ambergris, this fragrance is more suitable for harem concubines, smells good, elegant and long-lasting, and is not offensive, and most people can accept it.
Lu Xiang waved his hand, and these palace maids placed the incense burner on each mother's table.
Subsequently, Lu Xiang curtsied and replied respectfully: "Back to the Queen Mother's words, this incense is specially prepared by the folk perfumer for Concubine Ning, and Concubine Ning likes this taste very much, so she asks the slave maid to put this incense in the hall for a moment at three o'clock every day." ”
An explanation is very reasonable.
On the side, Shang Kelan's eyes dimmed slightly: when they entered the main hall of the Moon Palace just now, they didn't smell any incense, that is to say, this incense burner was placed in this hall for the first time today.
If according to what Lu Xiang said, Concubine Ning asked people to light this incense in the palace every day, these furniture and porcelain would inevitably have a smell of incense.
Gardenia moved her nose, and after smelling it, she couldn't help but get close to Shang Kelan's ear and said, "Niangniang, this incense really smells good!" ”
"Ahh Hell! ”
Suddenly, a concubine pointed at the Queen Mother and shouted, her face full of horror!
The Queen Mother's back was cold, her eyelids couldn't help jumping, and she was furious: "You ignorant palace concubine, what are you talking nonsense?!" ”
Everyone saw that the palace maid didn't seem to be telling a lie, and they all looked at the queen mother.
"Ahh Ghost! What a ghost! ”
The Queen Mother's face was angry, and she pointed at these people: "You guys are really endless......"
Zhao Kehan looked back, and suddenly stiffened, and the catalog looked frightened.
Even the queen turned her head to look, and instantly took a few steps back in fear, covering her face with her sleeves, but fortunately, Momoka helped her in time to keep her from falling.
Shang Kelan raised her eyes and couldn't help but show a look of shock in her eyes.
I saw that behind the Queen Mother, on the beautiful picture of the rivers and mountains hanging on the wall, a vermilion grimace appeared!
The grimace was wide open, the teeth were sharp, the eyes were like that of an old cow, and the cheeks were thin, it was really terrifying!
Even Gardenia, who was standing behind her, couldn't help shaking her hands, her eyes widened in fear, and she looked at the beautiful picture of the country behind the Queen Mother incredibly!
The Queen Mother finally noticed that something was wrong, and hurriedly looked back, and in an instant, the grimace enlarged in front of her eyes!
The Queen Mother's eyes were shocked, but a fierce color flashed in her eyes.
Without hesitation, she grabbed the teacup in her hand and poured the tea inside at the beautiful picture of the country!
"Huh!"
The tea splashed a grimace, and the scarlet grimace suddenly disappeared from Jiang Shang's beautiful picture, and turned into a puddle of scarlet blood that flowed out along the wall and spread towards the Queen Mother's feet!
"Mother, beware!"
Shang Kelan took three steps and two steps, quickly came to the Queen Mother's side, and pulled her and Zhao Kehan back in time, so that the red liquid didn't get on their feet!
"Quack!"
Before everyone could react, they saw that on the four pillars of the main hall of the Lanyue Palace, four different grimaces also appeared!
Every grimace is terrifying, terrifying!
"Ahh Better...... What a ghost! ”
"Help!"
These concubines were startled by the inexplicable grimaces, and they suddenly panicked and didn't know what to do, and they all trembled and rushed away.
"Bang dang!"
Tea cups, tables, and chairs were also thrown to the ground by these people in a panic, making a "crackling" sound.
The Queen Mother reacted to what everyone just pointed at her and said "ghost", it turned out that they were not referring to her, but to this beautiful picture of the country behind her!
Rao is the queen mother who has followed Old Man Jin to fight on the battlefield, and she can't help but feel a little flustered at this time.
She turned her head to look at Shang Kelan, who was pulling herself and Zhao Kehan back, and saw that although she looked surprised, she was still able to calmly observe the situation in the hall, and couldn't help but be a little impressed by her.
I thought that this Concubine Chen was just a little woman who would play tricks to monopolize His Majesty's favor, but she didn't expect to encounter things at a critical time, but she was rational enough.
It's a bit of the style of her youth!
