Chapter 66: The Mystery Box
Under the scorching sun, a layer of sweat appeared on Concubine Hua's forehead.
As soon as Shang Kelan's words fell, she stood up anxiously and said: "If there is no evil in your bedroom, then I will punish myself for three months, and I will no longer use ice cubes this summer, and the Queen Mother will punish me for copying the "Female Ring", I will add it three hundred times!" ”
Shang Kelan raised her eyebrows slightly, hooked her lips and smiled: "Sister Hua's words, what she said is true?" “
Concubine Hua snorted, waved her hand impatiently, and said, "Naturally, it's true, will this palace break its promise?" ”
Hearing this, Shang Kelan nodded clearly, then looked at Tianyi Chang, and said, "There is also this Tianyi Chang, are you sure that the evil is in my dormitory?" If you don't find the evil in my dormitory today, then your identity will be very suspicious! ”
Tianyi Chang was choked by her, a look of fear flashed in his eyes, and then he said, "This...... Poor Dao only calculated the location of the evil spirit, and it was not necessarily in the Niangniang dormitory......"
Seeing that the head of the sky dared to slap her face, Concubine Hua's face immediately changed, and she pointed at him and said angrily: "You! ”
Unexpectedly, Shang Kelan quickly relented, and said to the Queen Mother: "Queen Mother, what the concubine wants to say has been said, you can send someone in to search." ”
The reaction of Tianyi Chang and Concubine Hua just now had already made her suspicious, and now she heard that Shang Kelan was relieved, so she waved her hand to Mama Chen, and Mama Chen took someone into the palace to search.
The rest of the people, including Jin Yantang, stood under the tree and waited patiently for the results.
It's just that as soon as those who went in to search entered, the palace maids who served beside Concubine Ning hurriedly ran out, and knelt in front of the Queen Mother and Jin Yantang and said, "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, Concubine Ning is awake!" ”
She said excitedly, two tears oozing from the corners of her eyes.
The Queen Mother breathed a sigh of relief, nodded and said, "It's good to wake up, go back and take good care of Concubine Ning." ”
A smile flashed in Jin Yantang's eyes, and then he asked, "Queen Mother, do you want your son to go over and see Concubine Ning?" ”
As soon as she thought of Concubine Ning's skinny appearance, the Queen Mother frowned, waved her hand at him and said, "Since she is sick, just rest well, why are you bothering her?" After a woman's miscarriage, there is always a lot of bad luck on her body. ”
This is a folk saying.
Jin Yantang nodded clearly, and then waved the palace maid away.
The palace maid was a little stunned, why did these two look indifferent to Concubine Ning?
It was Lu Xiang who gave the palace maid a look, and the palace maid left obediently.
After another stick of incense, Mama Chen walked out with someone.
The Queen Mother asked, "But what have you found?" ”
Mama Chen shook her head and said with a serious expression: "Back to the Empress Dowager, after careful search by the slave maid and others, no abnormalities were found in Concubine Chen's dormitory!" ”
As soon as these words came out, some of the concubines behind were disappointed, some were puzzled, and some were confused.
Shang Kelan said very patiently: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I just said this day, the evil is in the southeast, and then check the Moon Palace and Rou Jieyu's Tingyuxuan." ”
The Queen Mother frowned and said: "The sun is so big, I'm afraid that the evil has not been found out, and the mourning family will suffer from heat stroke first, Mama Chen, you go instead of the mourning family, and the mourning family will go back to Cining Palace to rest for a while." ”
Indeed, the Queen Mother is too old to withstand the toss.
Zhao Kehan still wanted to spend more time with Jin Yantang, so he asked himself to stay with Mama Chen.
Some concubines couldn't bear the day and retired one after another.
There were less than twenty people left to follow Shang Kelan, Concubine Hua, Jin Yantang and Tianyi to search for Yueting Yuxuan in the Moon Palace.
Concubine Hua's face was full of shock at the moment, how could she not have found anything from Concubine Chen's bedroom?
This doesn't make sense!
A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, as if she understood something, and suddenly turned her gaze to Shang Kelan.
At this moment, her eyes were shocked: Could it be that this Concubine Chen already knew something, so she had thought of a perfect plan?!
"Sister Huafei, why don't you leave?"
Suddenly, Shang Kelan's voice rang in her ears.
Concubine Hua shuddered, quickly came back to her senses, and said with a stiff neck: "Who won't leave?" This palace must catch that evil spirit! ”
Shang Kelan smiled slightly, and returned to her previous quiet and soft appearance: "That's good, I thought Sister Hua was scared." ”
"Humph!"
Concubine Hua snorted coldly, glared at Tian Yiyi, and then walked in front.
Tianyi sweated for a long time, and followed Concubine Hua with a strong expression without collapsing.
Zhao Kehan seemed to inadvertently hold the oil-paper umbrella given to her by Mama Chen and came to Jin Yantang's side, and raised her eyes to look at him innocently and asked, "Brother Jin, are you hot?" I'll give you an umbrella. ”
Brother Jin?
This affectionate title, all the palace concubines heard of it.
Shang Kelan's eyes were also stunned for a moment, but she quickly came back to her senses.
After all, the two used to have a good relationship, this is just a concern between ordinary friends, right?
Although she comforted herself so much in her heart, the emotions in her heart were always much duller.
Jin Yantang paused, glanced at Zhao Kehan with deep eyes, and said, "It's okay to leave this kind of thing to the palace maid, don't get tired." ”
After saying this sentence with a seemingly concerned attitude, Jin Yantang quickened his pace and moved closer to Shang Kelan's side.
Soon, the group came to Lanyue Palace.
There is no ginkgo tree in the courtyard of Lanyue Palace, but an acacia tree is planted.
In the absence of the queen mother, the affairs of the harem will be decided by the queen.
The queen ordered the two attendants to dig under the acacia tree, and after digging for a cup of tea, the two attendants came out with a vermilion box with a seal.
This seal reads "If you open it, you will die", and that day a long man pointed to the box as if he had seen a savior, and said excitedly: "That's it, the evil has been found!" ”
As he spoke, he reached out and snatched the scarlet box, eager to open the seal and open the contents for everyone to see.
Concubine Hua and Lu Xiang's faces turned pale, and their eyes were shocked and puzzled.
How could this thing be buried by that person in Lanyue Palace?
Was it an accident, or was someone deliberate?
Just as Tianyi's long hand was about to touch the box, a slender white hand suddenly stopped in front of him.
I only heard the owner of this hand playfully say to him: "Dao Chief, can you see the words on this clearly, do you really want to open this box?" ”
Tianyi looked up and saw that the person who came was Shang Kelan, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't worry, Concubine Chen, I have opened this box, and the evil is inside!" ”
As he spoke, Tianyichang's face showed undisguised joy.
As long as he opens this box, Concubine Chen will never turn over, and he will be able to get all the deposit given to him by Concubine Hua!
Hearing this, Shang Kelan slowly withdrew her hand and looked at him with a smile.
The concubines also looked at the mahogany box in Tianyichang's hand very curiously, as if they wanted to see what the evil in it looked like.
On the side, Jin Yantang glanced at Master Sima and asked lightly, "According to what Aiqing saw, is there evil in that box?" ”
