Chapter 32: A Sudden Crisis (I)
It was cool at night, and the aunt in charge said let's go to the secretary's room to get autumn clothes, and the palace people have one or two sets of new clothes every season, and the quality of the fabric and style depends on the level of the palace people.
None of the palace costumes are gray-brown in color, which seems to be to set off the beauty of the palace girls.
Holding the autumn clothes out, a shadow hurriedly walked in front of me, like a ghost scared me, and it looked closely like a palace maid.
The more I looked at it, the more familiar it felt, and after thinking about it, I decided to keep up.
The palace maid did not stop until she walked to the Splendid Pavilion where Li Shuyuan was, bypassing the Splendid Pavilion, and behind it was a decadent locust forest.
She stayed there for a long time, and she didn't know what she was doing when she squatted down, and she was very cautious to observe the surroundings before leaving.
After she left, I didn't dare to rush forward, and I waited in the depths of the forest for a while, and after a while, the palace maid came back and looked around carefully before I was relieved to really leave.
When she came to the place where she was squatting, the dirt on the ground was fresh, and the dirt on the ground was moist and the surface was dry, so it was easy to distinguish. She dug up the empty soil, her nails were filled with gray-brown soil, she buried it too deeply, and she couldn't dig it out for a while, so she found a hard stone to barely find the clue, and a corner of her clothes was exposed in the soil, and she grabbed the corner of her clothes and dragged out a puppet doll.
The puppet is very exquisitely made, with long hair and gorgeous clothes, the costume is like a palace costume, and there is a note pasted on the back of the doll, on which a person's birthday is written in a vermilion pen, and the name is signed - Li Mengyuan. This name feels very familiar, think carefully about the surnames of the palace maidens in the palace, Li Mengyuan is Li Shuyuan of the Splendid Pavilion, no wonder this puppet doll has a belly full of fine needles.
Witchcraft is strictly forbidden in the palace, and once it is discovered, it is not just a matter of losing your life. Concubine Li is really careless, there are thousands of ways to achieve her goal, but she chose such a stupid way.
"Come on, hurry up!" The noise of footsteps approached, and he hurriedly buried the earth again, and hid in the depths of the forest with the puppet doll.
A large group of people walked towards this side, with bright palace lights, a few eunuchs grabbed the palace maid who had just buried the puppet, the palace maid cried and lowered her head, her hair was scattered, and Li Concubine also followed closely behind, her face was pale. Concubine De, who assisted the queen in managing the harem, had a serious face, and those eunuchs were in Concubine De's palace.
"Concubine De, why can't you get along with me? Begonia said that she was just here for a walk, so why do you have to let me come here. Concubine Li's voice was unsteady, and her expression was a little apprehensive.
Concubine De brushed the dust on the hem of her skirt with her sleeves, and replied lightly: "Tonight, Li Shuyuan suddenly had an unstable fetus, and some palace people said that the begonias in your palace are secretly burying something here, and this palace suspects that it is witchcraft." ”
Concubine Li was tricked by someone, and it was obvious that someone wanted to harm her in this play, but she did use witchcraft and couldn't escape it.
"Although Haitang is a person in my palace, it can't be shown that it has something to do with me." Concubine Li wanted to explain something, but was blocked by Concubine De's words. All the subordinates dug up the soil in a big way, and it was already dusty for a while.
"Niangniang, this is all my idea, it's none of our master's business!" Haitang broke free from everyone and knelt in front of Concubine De.
It's interesting, I like to watch the part that doesn't show up.
Concubine Li was obviously relieved, pretending to be angry, and scolded angrily, Concubine De was unmoved, just asked people to look for it.
Suddenly, Begonia fell to the ground, convulsions, blood mixed with white foam flowed out of her slightly open mouth, she was ready to sacrifice when she was doing this, Concubine De was horrified, let people call the imperial doctor over, Begonia struggled on the ground a few times and then lost her breath, her eyes were still dead, looking in the direction where Concubine Li was standing, Concubine Li rushed up and hugged Begonia, acting out the drama of deep love between master and servant.
"Niangniang......" The guard walked up to Concubine De, "only, only a few silver needles were found......"
I pulled out the silver needle easily, but I didn't expect to encounter today's one.
Concubine Li also didn't know her hometown, rolling her eyes.
Concubine De pinched the silver needle and sneered: "The palace will find out clearly, Concubine Li has been resting in Yiju Palace for the past few days." ”
Everyone carried Begonia to find the Imperial Doctor, I guess it was useless, unless Begonia borrowed the corpse to resurrect the soul, even if Hua Tuo was alive, it was meaningless, Concubine Li stared at the traces of rummaging on the ground and thought for a while before leaving.
Today is a lot of gains, and I easily found the handle of Li Concubine, but I don't plan to tell Beiyu Liangyi yet, I need to know some useful information from Li Concubine's mouth.
Li Shuyuan has always been indisputable, but she didn't expect it to be hidden, and this cannibalistic place in the palace really can't just look at the surface.
Time flies, and a few hours in one night feel like just a quarter of an hour.
Bei Yuliang also came back a day early.
The momentum was huge, all the harem concubines ran to greet her, and the queen naturally came, but before I could see her face clearly, she went back on the grounds that she was unwell.
The queen mother set up a big banquet in the palace, which is just in line with the wishes of the concubines, the palace banquet is the best opportunity for the concubines who are not favored. All the officials and ministers who participated in the paddock hunt had to attend the palace banquet before returning home, in fact, they were already very tired, just to cater to the dignity of the Ninety-Five.
Bei Yuliang also came in on his own horse, with white clothes and red cloak looking full of energy and spirit, with a bow and arrow on his shoulder, and a large number of people behind him, I couldn't see Bei Yu Jinchen and Ruxue them, because there were too many people in the cluster, it felt very bad to be squeezed around, Yinyue was originally side by side with me, and it didn't take long for him to be squeezed away.
Bei Yuliang also dismounted, the palace people spontaneously moved away, the queen mother greeted with a smile, Li Shuyuan on the left and Feng Yu on the right, Li Shuyuan smiled shyly, and the makeup was meticulous and delicate.
Bei Yuliang also walked over head-on, took off the bow and arrow on his back and threw it towards me, the heavy crossbow smashed his palms hurt, Li Mingquan quietly pointed to the crossbow and said Put it back in Longcheng Palace.
The Queen Mother accompanied Bei Yuliang into the inner hall, and saw Ruxue beckoning to me in the crowd from a distance, and King Ling Ran tapped her forehead with a slightly curled finger. Rin was also in their row, expressionless and unfazed.
After glancing around, he didn't see Beiyu Jinchen, and he had some doubts in his heart.
Bei Yuliang also accompanied the Queen Mother to the West Hall to talk about homely things, I hung the solid wood crossbow in the side wing room of the Longcheng Palace, everyone was busy arranging the palace banquet, and I was really tired and panicked, so I sneaked out to prepare to be lazy.
As I walked, I walked to the vicinity of the Cold Palace, and remembered Begonia's every move when she came to the Cold Palace that day, and my curiosity became stronger and stronger.
Tonight's small palace banquet is just a good time, there are many people in chaos, and it is not difficult to be negligent in the guards, so it is not difficult to easily blend in.
Just thinking about it, the autumn wind blew and made people sneeze.
The eyes turned slightly, and saw that the turf on the ground was somewhat abnormal, although it was autumn, the grass had not completely withered and yellowed, and some of the grass had completely decayed, sparse and lonely, very eye-catching, the more you went forward, the more decadent it was. Maybe I was too suspicious and always felt that something was wrong.
Walking along the decaying turf, I arrived at a rockery and suddenly returned to normal, the rockery was near the water, the vines of the creeper were entangled, and the autumn turned into red leaves, and some of the falling ones were not cleaned.
The palm of the hand touches the rockery, slightly wet, but the palace is not a wet weather......
"The pavilion master is so interested." The teasing voices behind me scared me.
