Chapter 496: Dagger

"We didn't bring the maids here, can we leave them here to serve, it's more convenient." Sanniang said with a smile.

The old lady glanced at the two little eunuchs, and knew that many ladies were not used to serving eunuchs when they entered the palace, because they still regarded eunuchs as men, so they could understand, plus she knew that the two ladies in front of her were often in and out of the palace of the queen mother and the queen, and she didn't dare to slack off, not to mention that it was just some trivial things, so why not sell personal favors, so she smiled and said: "Since this is the case, then they will stay and serve the two ladies." ”

Sanniang thanked the grandmother.

Erniang glanced at Sanniang, and then looked at the two maids, but she didn't have the heart to think about this, so she didn't speak.

Yingge consciously stood on Sanniang's side.

Seeing that it was still early, Sanniang whispered to Yingge: "I don't know where the clean room is?" "She has drunk a lot of water since she entered the palace, and although she has left a lot of sweat, there are some things that are also needed.

Yingge said in a low voice: "Just behind, the slave and maid will accompany the lady over." ”

The little eunuch also knew that the lady outside didn't like them to accompany him, so he didn't say anything.

Sanniang asked Erniang again: "Does the second sister want to go together?" ”

Erniang was holding the tea bowl in a daze, frowned when she heard the words, and reluctantly said, "I won't go, you can go by yourself." ”

So Sanniang nodded, and walked out with Yingge naturally.

Sanniang didn't know how many clean rooms there were in Yuquan Palace, and Yingge took Sanniang to the one behind the side hall.

The two palace people guarding outside the clean room saw Sanniang coming, so they went in and cleaned it again and lit new incense. Sanniang rewarded them with broken silver and sent them out.

Although Yingge followed, Sanniang didn't let her serve, and she quickly solved her physiological problems, and only said when she came out to wash her hands.

"Why do you still have to go to the pulp laundry?" Sanniang asked in a low voice.

Yingge thought for a while: "We maids sometimes have to go to the pulp washing room to help those palace maids pulp wash, and the masters can't leave this Yuquan Palace, so they don't have to do this kind of work." ”

Sanniang also knows that this kind of oppression happens everywhere, and there is nothing she can do to change anything. only said: "Can't you buy those grandmothers and let her send you less work?" Your hands ......" Sanniang looked at Yingge's white wrinkled hands and frowned.

Yingge shook her head: "It's just washing clothes, nothing." I'm just a little palace maid next to a beauty who has fallen out of favor, and if I make too many moves, I'm afraid it will attract attention. ”

Sanniang was silent. Yingge is not wrong. If she reveals her wealth and has no ability to protect herself, she is afraid that she will cause trouble.

Yingge saw that Sanniang didn't speak, so she hurriedly said: "But if I give less, it won't be noticed, and the grandmother in the pulp washing room is already good to me." ”

Sanniang can only sigh, the road was chosen by Yingge herself, what else can she say?

"You'll follow me for a while." Sanniang can only say.

Yingge nodded.

Sanniang took out a medicine bottle from her purse and handed it to Yingge: "Wipe your hands with this." Otherwise, these hands of yours will be ruined. ”

Yingge accepted it in silence.

Sanniang asked Wei Yue'e where she was, and Yingge said that she had just been taken to the left side hall with which Lin beauty.

The two of them came out of the clean room and returned to the right side hall. Erniang was still sitting in place and didn't move.

After sitting for a long time, the senior father-in-law finally came over.

"Two ladies, the hour has come, two ladies, please come with the miscellaneous family."

Erniang and Sanniang got up and followed Gonggong Gao out.

Outside, next to the altar, stood a monk in a robe. The monk looked to be about forty or fifty years old, with a serene face and a pair of eyes that were unwavering. He was holding a pen and writing something on a piece of yellow paper on the altar. There were also two women standing beside him. It seems that it should be a woman who is not very high in this harem.

Gonggong Gao led Sanniang and Erniang to the monk's side, and the monk looked up at Sanniang and Erniang, put down his pen and recited a Buddha name. Sanniang and Erniang returned the salute, and the old monk picked up the pen and wrote again.

Sanniang didn't know the names of the other two women, and it was not easy to ask each other on this occasion, so she only smiled and greeted them vaguely.

"Master Fahai, the people have arrived, I don't know what else needs to be prepared?"

Fahai said in a deep voice: "Let the four nobles each hold a Buddha pot in their hands and stand in the four directions I have drawn on the ground. Although Fahai's voice is no longer young, the warm tone makes people feel calm and peaceful when they hear it.

Sanniang glanced at the four "Buddha jars" placed on the offering table, which were amphora Sanskrit bronze jars. There must have been incense burning inside, and green smoke was emitting outside.

Sanniang somehow thought of being in the side hall of Ci'an Palace. The incense burner lit by the monks couldn't help but be vigilant in their hearts.

But she really couldn't smell the difference between ordinary sandalwood and the spiced sandalwood. It's a pity that Bai Lan is not by her side.

"Find someone else to put these runes around the white line around the outer circle of the array."

The crowd saw that on the extension lines of each of the four legs corresponding to the offering table, there was a mark drawn with dansha, on which were marked with the words "gold, wood, water, and fire". A circle was drawn with white lime next to each of the four feet. The four arrays and the offering table were all encircled.

"You, come here." Gao Gonggong looked around, and saw Yingge and another palace maid standing under the corridor not far away with Sanniang and Erniang, so he beckoned to them.

The two of them hurriedly trotted over.

"What does my father-in-law command?" The two said respectfully.

Gao Gonggong pointed to the rune paper drawn by Monk Fahai and said, "Put these runes along the array eye." ”

The two of them took the talisman paper handed over by the monk and walked aside.

The monk asked about the birthdays of the four women present, handed the four "Buddha pots" to the four people, and asked them to stand up. Sanniang followed the direction of the monk's finger and stood on the "golden" position. Erniang, we are in the "fire" position next to her.

Sanniang is now focusing all her attention on the Buddha jar in her hand, which is not big and has no weight. Sanniang didn't feel anything wrong, I don't know if it was because she used the medicine or because this place was not a confined space, and the medicine was slower, or this jar was different from Wushen's incense burner, so there was nothing wrong?

Sanniang looked at the other three again, and saw that they didn't react any differently, and Erniang even glanced here.

Sanniang stood up quietly with bated breath, and by the way, she carefully observed the surroundings to be sober, trying to find some clues that something was wrong.

Except for some palace maids and eunuchs standing under the corridor, there were only Fahai, Gao Gonggong, Sanniang and four people, Yingge and another palace maid in the courtyard.

Monk Fahai looked at the sky and said, "The hour is coming, please ask the emperor to come out." ”

Gao Gonggong immediately went to the main hall.

After a while, the emperor came out of the main hall, followed by two monks of about thirty years old.

The emperor stood calmly at the altar, took the incense handed to him by Monk Fahai, and bowed to the north.

The three monks led by Fahai began to chant the scriptures while knocking on the wooden fish and circling around the altar. Sanniang watched as she walked in front of her once, twice...... The monk felt that his head was going to be dizzy.

As the sound of the monks chanting the scriptures became louder and louder, Sanniang suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. She felt a little stuffy in her chest. Suddenly feeling a cold on her face, Sanniang was startled, raised her head, but found that it was a monk holding a golden bowl, and sprinkled it with water in the golden bowl with his hand.

Sanniang suddenly woke up with a cleverness.

She looked at Erniang and found that Erniang was awake and was looking at her, and the emotions in her eyes were a little incomprehensible to her. However, the other two maids were in a trance, which made Sanniang sound the few grandmothers and palace maids who were controlled by the incense when she was in the side hall of Ci'an Palace today.

Sanniang looked at the emperor standing in the middle again, and saw that he seemed to be blinded by something, and was lowering his head and rubbing his eyes with his hands.

Sanniang felt that something was wrong, and she was very surprised.

She wondered what would happen if she smashed the jar in her hand into the face of Fahey, who was walking in front of her. If she thinks too much, but in fact has nothing to do, then she is afraid that she will have to bear the charge of sabotaging the emperor's sacrifice to the sky.

Although she didn't understand, how could the emperor be fooled by these three monks, could it be that the emperor was also tricked?

Sanniang was struggling, Fahai suddenly opened his eyes and walked towards Sanniang and the four of them: "You guys come forward." ”

The two palace people standing at the wooden level and the water level walked forward unconsciously, and Erniang glanced at Sanniang and also walked forward, but her steps were very slow. Sanniang thought about it, glanced back, and saw Yingge standing under the porch not far away. She wanted to say something, but she didn't have a chance.

I can only lift my feet and walk forward.

When he walked about two feet from the altar, the Fahai monk recited the sutra again. Only this time he read it in a hurry, and his tone was a little strange. The other two monks looked at Chao Fa in some surprise, and just wanted to say something, an accident happened.

The two palace people who were standing at the water level and the wooden position just now in the same position as Sanniang suddenly raised their heads and pounced towards the emperor who was still standing there with hideous faces. even smashed the jar in his hand on the emperor's head.

Sanniang was taken aback, and subconsciously shouted: "Your Majesty, be careful." ”

The Emperor hurriedly turned his head, and was startled when he saw clearly behind him. The other two monks reacted quickly after the shock and pounced on the two frantic women.

Sanniang was thinking about retreating, but there was a sudden force behind her.
