Chapter 36 Sacrifice to Heaven 3
Sisi's nails pinched into her palms, this pure concubine didn't expect to use her power for personal gain so much.
"The county lord's move is really unintentional, not to mention that the witch didn't say anything wrong, why is the concubine Niangniang so aggressive!"
Thinking about it, it was Li Yuanche who came out for her, and she didn't have a way in her head, but Li Yuanche immediately spoke out to stop her, and Li Yuyao on the side also snorted twice, and said softly: "The courtier begs Your Majesty to forgive the county lord for his unintentional mistake." ”
Sisi didn't expect that even Yuyao would intercede for her, she was very moved in her heart, and she could be regarded as having handed over a lifelong friendship, she unilaterally announced that the three of them would enjoy happiness and hardship together from now on.
Yu Yao has relied on Concubine Chun since she was a child, and today she is asking for mercy to tell Concubine Chun that she is standing in opposition to her, which is not wise, but friendship is rare.
Sisi's eyes were tearful like Yu Yao nodded.
"Just a sneeze, it's okay, don't make a big fuss."
Because the witch didn't say anything wrong, why should the emperor be embarrassed by Sisi, he already likes Sisi, how could he punish her for this.
Although she almost blew out the incense in the altar.
But even so, His Majesty will not punish her.
Concubine Chun doesn't understand this truth, and neither does Sisi.
There are some things that only His Majesty knows.
After all the rituals were completed, everyone lined up according to the original procession to see the witch practice.
Several shrine maidens danced an unknown dance around the fire lit next to the altar, and muttered words in their mouths.
Offerings were burning in the fire, and for a moment a foul smell came to my face.
Sisi was afraid of sneezing again, so she was busy covering her nose with her sleeve.
And the witches shook their heads and held the magic of the bell ringing in their hands, and held a black bowl in their right hand, and saw her take a sip and spit it out to the fire team.
For a while, the fire that rushed to the sky roared, and Sisi was startled.
Before he could recover his senses, a terrible scream immediately resounded through the valley.
The three princes burned all over their bodies, and the fire was very fast, and in an instant, the whole person was shrouded in fire.
Sisi was so frightened that she retreated, and Li Yuanche hurriedly pulled Sisi behind him and stretched out an arm to protect him.
The crowd was in a mess.
The third prince rolled in pain on the ground, and the pure concubine was so frightened that she changed her tone, but fortunately it was a depression here, and the wind was not strong, so the three princes rolled on the spot a few times, and the fire was extinguished.
Although the fire looked terrifying, the third prince was wearing armor and was not too seriously injured.
It's just that the skin is red and the hair is curly.
Everyone was shocked, and the three princes were even more frightened.
"Demonic, this is a demonic omen!"
The crown prince, who had not spoken, suddenly shouted, he had been with the second prince before, because he was too close to the emperor, he didn't dare to complain, he bowed down hard, and he had no patience at this moment.
But suddenly there was such a thing, and he would definitely step on the three princes.
Unlike the second prince who only wants to dance and dance and read, the third prince is tantamount to the prince's fierce rival, and he must be eliminated quickly.
It's a pity that after the death of the queen, he has no one to assist, and finally became the fool he is now.
Just like at this time, the shrine maiden didn't say anything, but one of your princes said that his brother was a demon.
Sure enough, the emperor raised his eyes and looked at him majestically.
He felt weak and stepped back.
"What kind of heart do you have for this witch girl, my royal offering for you is for the sake of the temple sacrifice, not for you to hurt the bloodline of the royal family!"
The pure concubine was stunned, the third prince was not only her son, but also the guarantee of her glory and wealth, and the reliance of the second half of her life, how could she allow anyone to harm the safety of the third prince.
From beginning to end, the shrine maiden did not say anything, she just closed her eyes and did not move.
Everyone recovered from the panic, and Sisi also patted his chest to straighten out.
His Majesty did not stop Concubine Chun from saying this, it is true that he believed in the witch, but Yuan Sheng was his child in the end, and he should not have been burned by a fire without saying anything.
In the middle of the night, the shrine maiden opened her eyes and glanced at a circle of people with different expressions:
"The three princes have a vision, but it is not my doing."
She walked from the back of the fire to the front, and looked at Li Yuansheng, who was sitting on the ground, and the pure concubine who was holding him on the side.
Concubine Chun's heart was for the three princes, and the hair ornament in front of her forehead was crooked, and a strand of hair was exposed.
"Although the pure concubine is a concubine, she wears the queen's uniform, I think the ancestors are unwilling."
The witch stood beside the pure concubine, but the words were addressed to His Majesty.
Concubine Chun's eyes were red: "You are untrustworthy, you just lost your hand, and you pushed it to the palace, if according to what you said, why is there no fire on the palace, but you want my son to catch fire!" ”
"Concubine Niangniang, when I breathed fire, His Royal Highness the Second Prince and His Royal Highness the Third Prince were in the same place, and His Royal Highness the Second Prince was still safe and sound, why did His Royal Highness the Third Prince catch fire? What's more, a little spark can cause an instantaneous burn, which is something that cannot be done by man. ”
The witch usually doesn't say much, but the pure concubine is entangled: "The ancestor blames naturally not on the head of a concubine with a foreign surname, this is the ancestor of the Li family, so it will be punished, and it will not be punished on the head of the concubine." ”
The witch means that if you are a concubine for someone else's family, you won't be able to enter the imperial tomb after death, don't add drama here, you are not worthy.
Sisi looked at the scene in front of her and made a calculation in her heart, not knowing whether it was true or artificial.
If it's true, it's too mysterious, if it's man-made, who did it.
The emperor did not speak.
The witch knelt in front of the emperor and looked up at the emperor, her treacherous pupils showed a strange light: "What I said is true, please make a decision on your majesty." ”
The emperor groaned twice and thought for a while: "The noble concubine An's family, the clothes are arrogant, disrespectful, and immoral in front of the ancestors. ”
Liu Shuyi has been watching her nose and nose since just now, and when she heard the emperor's decree, this is a hot potato, and she has to take it herself, and she has to take it if she doesn't.
Kneeling down and answering the commandment, she silently stepped aside.
Concubine Chun was very unconvinced, she stood up and pointed at the witch and scolded: "You villain, this palace doesn't know when to provoke you, you have to arrange this palace like this!" ”
"The concubine is serious, I am just passing on the word of the heavens, how can I bring my own opinion, in the end, I and the mother are only a few friends, how can I harm you!" The witch maiden said: "Last year's sacrifice ceremony, the mother's clothes were in order, and the memorial was safe and sound, is the mother still not convinced?" ”
Concubine Chun still wanted to defend herself, but the emperor said to stop her: "Before the ancestor spirit, don't say anything disrespectful again!" ”
Now that the ceremony of sacrificing to the heavens has been completed, everyone can disperse, and the emperor does not look at the pure concubine, and goes up the mountain by himself.
Sisi and his party also followed up the mountain, and the palace people were waiting halfway up the mountain.
Sisi looked up at Mei Zhi, who was looking forward to this, and hurriedly thanked the fourth prince and the fifth princess, and hurriedly returned to the carriage.
Today's events are full of weirdness, and Sisi is very flustered.
Mei Zhi saw that Sisi's face was not good, and hurriedly asked: "The county lord's face is not good, but what happened?" ”
Because their carriage was at the end of the line, the concubine did not see what the plum branch looked like.
Sisi only said that he would go back to the house, and never lifted the curtain again.
The return carriage was brought by the four princes, and the third prince was helped into the carriage, frightened, he had just rolled out of the Yama Palace, and the three souls and seven spirits were half frightened, and he was not in the mood to care about the pure concubine, he was now immersed in the fear of the rest of his life after the catastrophe.
The carriage returned to Kyoto Castle without pause.
Next to the Temple of Heaven, the witch had not yet left, she looked in the direction where Sisi left, and the corners of her mouth rose strangely.
The lord of Chang'an.
Are you really the county lord of Chang'an?
