Chapter 251: The Cherry Blossoms Bloom Sixteen
The banquet was over, and all the nobles left the royal palace. It's about to be sealed, and they must hurry back home.
Back at home, Yuan Anran followed his two sisters to tease and make fun of Yuan Anquan, Lord Yuan and Mrs. Lanzi watched happily from the side, everything that happened today made them happy and happy. At this moment, the eldest son's marriage was finally confirmed.
Because they had eaten a lot of food at the banquet, no one had eaten dinner, and after talking for a while, they went back to their own courtyards to rest.
Yuan Anran sat on the verandah of his courtyard, looking up at the sun setting and the moon rising, and the moment when the sun and the moon alternated, it was the moment to seal the demon. Legend has it that when the demon is sealed, all the dormant demons will emerge and become popular. Yuan Anran sent a lot of nanobots to form a surveillance network in Ping'an City, wanting to find traces of demons. Unfortunately, he didn't find one.
So, there are no demons or gods or anything, right?
"Little boy, it's time to rest." The maid who laid out the futon reminded Yuan Anran, and Yuan Anran yawned, walked to the bed, and lay down.
The maids left Yuan Anran's room. This is the rule of the little boy, no one is allowed to stay in his room at night. Fortunately, although the little princess is young, she is bold and not afraid of the darkness of the night, and dares to sleep alone.
Yuan Anran quickly fell asleep. Four hours later, the wake-up device set by Yuan Anran woke him from his sleep. Putting on a simple yukata, Yuan walked out of the courtyard safely, the night could not stop his sight, he walked to the corner, jumped hard, jumped on the wall, and turned out of the courtyard.
The entire Heiankyo was shrouded in darkness, and the moonlight in the sky was projected a little brighter, but more often than not, it cast mottled shadows on the ground, like twisted monsters. If you are an ordinary person, you must be scared, but Yuan Anran has just confirmed that there are no demons and monsters in the whole world, so she will naturally not be afraid - to tell the truth, she herself doesn't know if she will be afraid of ghosts. I used to believe that there were no ghosts in the world, but now......
Yuan Anran stood in an open space and summoned all the nanobots he had sent back. The robots didn't come back empty-handed, each of the nanobots brought back a living thing: frogs, toads, locusts, cockroaches, spiders (non-venomous), caterpillars, ...... There are a lot of dense piles, so that people who are afraid of bugs or have dense phobias are afraid. Yuan Anran didn't have either, after recovering the nanobots, he put all these insects and toads into a cloth bag, jumped on the roof of a house with the cloth bag, spread his feet, ran over from the roofs one after another, and directly entered the palace.
Familiar with the queen's bedroom, Yuan Anran found the queen's room and poured all the insects and toads in the bag into the queen's room. The queen slept so soundly that the insects crawled all over her, and she didn't even notice it. Of course, in order not to let the cries of the frogs and toads reveal his whereabouts, he had stunned the frogs and toads in advance, using the sweat medicine he had obtained from Guan Yeyuan. There was no croaking of frogs and toads, and the maids sleeping on the other side of the screen did not notice anything unusual on the queen's side.
Leaving a nanobot to record the queen's reaction, Yuan returned the same way and left the palace. Jumping from one roof to another, Yuan Anran felt like a gentleman on the beam in martial arts, stepping on the moon and leaving incense, extremely chic. Well, ignore the body type.
The next day, Yuan Anran didn't have to go to work, returned to his yard after breakfast, and turned on the monitoring screen in the room alone. There was already chaos in the palace, and Yuan Anran played the recorded video from the beginning. In the picture, insects crawl all over the room, and toads and frogs wake up, making "quack" sounds one after another. The screams were continuous, and at last the queen and her maids woke up, and then they found a room full of insects and toads.
There are no women who are not afraid of insects, especially the pampered women of aristocratic families. The queen's maid, that is also the daughter of a noble family can be served! Where can these people not be afraid? The frightened cries were repeated one after another, drowning down the cries of frogs and toads. When the guards heard this, they thought there was an Assassin invasion and rushed in, where they saw a room full of insects and toads, and their scalps were numb.
Where the hell do these bugs and toads come from? Although spring has arrived, there are more bugs, but so many bugs gather together...... How did they come together? People who are superstitious about gods and ghosts can't help but think of a possibility: did the queen offend which gods and ghosts? Retaliated against by gods and goblins?
The emperor also thought the same, and when he heard the news, he immediately asked people to go to the Yinyangliao to ask the onmyoji to help the queen exorcise ghosts. When Onmyoji heard the situation in the queen's palace described by the guards, his scalp also went numb. They're scared of bugs, too!
Eventually, a clever onmyoji used fire to drive away the insects in the house. As for the toad and frog, there were not so many people who were afraid, and they were caught by the guards and thrown out of the palace.
The queen was frightened, and the onmyoji did another ritual to help the soul of Queenstown concentrate. Yuan Anran watched the whole process, the so-called magic did not have any effect, it was just to fool people, but the "talisman water" that the onmyoji gave to the queen's mother had the effect of calming the nerves. Therefore, this is still the means of the gods, not the means of the ghosts.
In the West Palace, Mrs. Masako heard what happened in the Queen's Palace, and she was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. Can the queen, who has been punished by ghosts and gods, still be able to sit firmly in the position of queen?
Madame Masako smiled coldly, such a good opportunity, if she couldn't hit the queen into hell, she didn't have to do it.
"Go, help me get the word out to my mother and father, so they can seize the opportunity." Masako instructed her henchmen.
The henchman left, and Mrs. Masako touched her stomach, hatred in her eyes.
"Fujiwara Yuko, you have caused me to be unable to have children, so I will let you never see your son again. Hmph, the position of the queen belongs to me. ”
Rumors that the queen had offended the demons and were punished by the gods spread throughout Heian Castle. The old foxes knew how the rumor had spread, and what the consequences of the rumor would be, but no one stopped it. After all, it is true that the queen is punished by the gods, and such a queen is no longer worthy of being a queen. For the sake of royal face, a queen must also be replaced.
