Chapter Eighty-Five: Witch Doll

The full moon banquet was placed in the Xue Xuan in the Imperial Garden. Rare good weather today. Sweep away the haze of the previous days. The whole person is in a very happy mood. Get up early to gather the needs of the full moon feast.

The sound of silk and bamboo in Jiangxue Xuan is pleasant. Several women dressed in pink butterflies and wide sleeves danced in the hall. Light walking. Smile like a flower. Yongyan and the Queen Mother sit on the top. looked at everyone with a smile. The nurse in her arms is blinking innocent eyes and looking around in the hall.

The family banquet only invited all the noble concubines and concubines in the palace. Such as the concubine dressed in a dazzling sapphire blue dress. It is embroidered with a large fox tail lily. The red hairpin on the bun is lined with thin red lips like a concubine, and it is more and more enchanting. She smiled at me: "Sister Jin. Sister is here to congratulate you."

I politely got up and smiled: "Thank you, concubine. Isn't it rejoicing? Niangniang is now a concubine."

Such as the concubine smiled. Drink the wine from the silver glass. Yongyan sat on the seat, reaching out from time to time to tease the nurse in the arms behind him. A loving smile on his face.

A melodious piano sound sounded. Qing Concubine entered the world in a moonlight white dance dress. The makeup on the face is elegant. A red mole was dotted on the center of the eyebrows. The jade butterfly on the head shook softly. Concubine Qing lowered her eyebrows and said obediently: "This dance of the concubine is dedicated to the noble people of Jin and the seventh elder brother."

Yongyan nodded with a smile. Qing Concubine glanced at me with a confused look. After only a slight turn, he fainted and fell to the ground. I stood up and looked at the crowd in amazement. The woman dancing next to her helped Qing Concubine up in a panic. There was silence in the hall. looked at the concubine who seemed to be a weak willow supporting the wind in surprise.

"Is Qing Concubine unwell?" The Queen Mother asked with concern.

Qing Concubine hid the panic on her face. He bowed his head and said: "Back to the Queen Mother. The concubine just hasn't slept well these days. It's inevitable that I'll lose my temper in front of you."

Yongyan looked at Concubine Qing with pity. There was a hint of blame in his tone: "That is. Just rest well. I don't blame you."

Qing Concubine knelt on the ground and was stunned for a moment. Fang Chu Chu said: "Your Majesty. The concubine has been having a strange dream these days. Concubine dreams of ......"

Qing Concubine subconsciously glanced at the green calyx who was sitting still. Then he said as if frightened: "The concubine has been dreaming of the crying of children in the garden of the palace of the nobles. Crying all the time. The concubines who disturb them can't sleep well."

The green calyx glanced impatiently at the concubine. The corners of his mouth sarcastically said, "What are you talking nonsense about. How can a babbling dream come out and say it here. I see if Sister Qing is sick and confused?"

Qing Concubine shook her head. It's like he's fallen for it." Emperor. The concubine really saw it. And look closely. The baby's crying still lingers in my ears." Qing Concubine took the opportunity to cover her ears. A painful look.

The lake beside Concubine Qing also said with an unbearable face: "The slave maid does not dare to expire the queen mother and the emperor. Concubine Qing always wakes up at night with nightmares."

Lan Concubine sneered. The red nails fiddled with the fruit in the plate." How good is it that only Qing Concubine has nightmares. As the saying goes, don't do bad things during the day. Don't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door at night. Could it be that Concubine Qing has done something wrong?"

I felt a chill in my heart. Rugui Concubine said lightly to Yongyan: "Your Majesty. Do you want to call the imperial doctor to come over and take a look at Concubine Qing? The concubine felt that Concubine Qing seemed to be on the way."

As soon as the Queen Mother heard what the concubine said, "I am on the road", her face changed. Perhaps older people are more likely to believe in ghosts and gods. The Queen Mother frowned and said, "Look at the mourning family. You don't need to ask for a doctor. It's not the first time something strange has happened in the palace. Could it be that there is something strange in the nobleman's garden."

Qing Concubine screamed in panic and fainted. Everyone was stunned and at a loss. Yongyan looked at me helplessly. There was a hint of apology in his eyes: "Good family dinner. How did it come to this?"

Several concubines also talked about it. It seems to believe what Qing Concubine said. I looked at the concubine who was helped away by the palace maid suspiciously. I don't know which play she is singing. The Queen Mother said slowly after a while: "That's it. Let's go see what's weird in the garden."

Everyone followed behind the Queen Mother and Yongyan. I took a ghostly glance at the green calyx behind me. She had a worried look on her face. The garden in the Chonghua Palace is at the back of the green calyx green hall. A couple of fathers-in-law dug up in the garden. The original irises in the garden are uprooted.

I suddenly felt very funny. It's just a dream that Qing Concubine said casually. The Queen Mother and Yongyan came here with such great difficulty. The eyes glanced at Yongyan. Yongyan also stood casually. The mind is not in this place.

Suddenly a sharp cry in the nurse's arms startled me. I hurriedly took it from the nurse's hand. Gently dangling and coaxing. But I couldn't stop crying.

"Back to the emperor. Dowager. There are discoveries." A father-in-law came out of the garden and said. The maid beside the Queen Mother brought the palace lamp close to the thing in her hand and screamed in surprise. Yongyan angrily took something from the Queen Mother's hand. Angry threw on the ground. Then the moonlight clearly saw that it was a blood-stained doll. There are countless embroidery needles tied to it. The two big words "Mianxi" on it stung my eyes.

I stumbled a little. The wind held me tightly. The more I looked at the palm-sized doll on the ground, the more I felt that it was laughing so weirdly. I don't want to look at it anymore. Yongyan pointed to the witch doll on the ground and said, "How can this dirty thing be in Chonghua Palace. Counting my seventh elder brother. I said that the most unsightly thing in the palace is the vicious thing of this witch. I'm going to make an example."

"Your Majesty. There is only one person living in Chonghua Palace today." Such as the concubine coldly burst out of a sentence.

Yongyan set his eyes on the green calyx. The green calyx pointed at the concubine in a panic: "You. . . What did you say. It's not my stuff."

Yongyan pointed at the green calyx angrily: "If the concubine hasn't said anything about you. Why are you so quick to say no. I think you're the most suspicious."

The green calyx "plopped" and knelt on the ground. Tears flowed: "Your Majesty. The concubine has never done it. The concubine's child died before it was born. The concubine hated the nobles very much. But the concubine didn't bury the witch doll here and calculate the seventh elder brother."

My heart was cold. Could it be that the green calyx hates me so much? Green Calyx turned to me and said, "Noble Jin. I didn't want to hurt Brother Seven. I can swear by poison."

I felt a fluster. Nowadays it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake. How did Qing Concubine know about the things in this garden? And the green calyx kept saying that he was innocent. I don't know how to deal with all this.

I was about to speak. The Queen Mother said coldly: "Come on. . . Shut the woman up in her own bedchamber. Take a good look. Let's wait for the emperor to find out about this."

Green Calyx let out a miserable cry: "Your Majesty. The concubine is wronged. The Emperor ......"
