By the end of the palace banquet, the sky was already getting dark, Kou Shu deliberately took a step behind, wanting to stop Concubine Shu, but Lan Ruoxuan walked up and said with great concern: "Dew in the middle of the night, why doesn't Senior Sister Changle Palace?" ”

With that, Lan Ruoxuan walked up and blocked Kou Shu's gaze towards Concubine Shu without a trace.

When Kou Shu saw Lan Ruoxuan, she smiled faintly and said, "Senior sister too, didn't you just say that you are cold, why don't you stay outside and not go back?" ”

Seeing that her goal had been achieved, Lan Ruoxuan gave a perfunctory salute to Kou Shu and said, "Since this is the case, the palace will retire first, and the senior sister will also go back to the palace to rest earlier." After a pause, Lan Ruoxuan stretched out a pair of slender jade hands: "Shuangying, help me back." ”

The girl named Shuangying on the side stepped forward, dressed in a half-new cyan cotton dress, looking inconspicuous.

Kou Shu raised her eyebrows, and suddenly said, "Senior sister." Such a good girl, I have to dress her in a few good clothes. ”

When Lan Ruoxuan heard this, she didn't notice the meaning of Kou Shu's words, and said lightly: "What Senior Sister said is that as a noble concubine, I am naturally not as good as the queen's share, and the girls around me are naturally not as good as the girls in Senior Sister's Palace." ”

Kou Shu smiled and didn't continue to speak.

"Niangniang-" Ripple said on the side: "It's so cold outside late at night, let's go back." ”

The mandarin duck frowned: "Niangniang, are we still going to the palace of the concubine?" ”

The same thing, Ripple didn't feel what was happening at all, the mandarin duck was more or less aware of it, but Yuan Yun had already asked his opinion early and went to the palace of the concubine. The three girls around him are really far behind. Kou Shu shook her head slightly in her heart, paused, and said, "No need, let's go back to Changle Palace." ”

Kou Shu waited in the palace until late at night before Yuan Yun returned.

"Queen Mother-" It was already time to be in the middle of the night, Kou Shu had already laid down on the bed and slept lightly, and when she heard Yuan Yun's words, she opened her eyes suddenly: "Have you found anything?" ”

Yuan Yun thought for a while and said, "When I arrived, General Bai had already escorted Concubine Shu. ”

"Hold up?" Kou Shu was stunned: "Concubine? ”

Yuan Yun nodded: "It seems that it is because Concubine Shu is disgusted with victory in the palace?" ”

The art of disgust is a crooked way, and the people who use it are all people with unrighteous minds. Since the founding of the first emperor, it has been expressly forbidden, and the violator of the order is guilty of the same crime as the common people, which is a major crime, and if the circumstances are serious, it can be copied and beheaded.

Kou Shu frowned, as if she remembered something, and said in a daze: "Can you know who is the person who performed the technique of disgust with victory?" ”

Yuan Yun bowed his head: "It's the emperor." ”

"Your Majesty?" Kou Shu's brows furrowed even deeper, although Concubine Shu was not liked by the emperor, but Song Jinyan also saved Concubine Shu's concubine position, if it was said that Concubine Shu cursed the emperor with the technique of disgust because she was not favored, it would be too bizarre.

"Did Concubine Shu say anything?" Kou Shu asked.

"Concubine Shu seems to have been drugged and can't say anything. When the slave and maid left, the Queen Mother also arrived. said that the concubine was ungrateful, and she brought a few grandmothers, saying that she wanted to clear the harem. ”

Thinking of the harem of the previous dynasty, and then thinking of Concubine Shu's strange behavior today, Kou Shu's heart tightened, and she secretly said that it was not good in her heart, and hurriedly got up and said: "Hurry up and change the clothes of the palace, the palace will go to the concubine's bedroom in person." ”

The name of the concubine's dormitory is Shuyuan. The name of the yard alone was very hasty, which is enough to see how little attention the owner is. Shuyuan is the most remote corner of the entire palace, and almost no one will walk through it on weekdays.

The midsummer night was already slightly cool, and Kou Shu only felt bursts of coolness coming through the thin summer shirt, and the hairs on her back stood up one by one.

Hurried to Shuyuan, only to see the Queen Mother and Lan Guifei were dressed neatly, the Queen Mother was holding a string of Vajra Buddha beads in her hand, wearing an embroidered dress embroidered with a very complex and luxurious pattern of birds singing in unison, her eyes were round, and she seemed to be extremely angry.

Lan Ruoxuan stood aside with her hands down, looking worried, but if she looked closely, she could see a smug smile in her eyes.

"Queen, you're here just right-" Seeing Kou Shu, the Queen Mother was angry: "How did you assist in the harem?" The art of disgust? Can this kind of unruly bastard appear in the palace? ”

Kou Shu first saluted respectfully, and said softly: "Don't be angry, the queen mother is the fault of the son, it's just the origin of the matter, and ask the queen mother to let the son-in-law ask clearly before speaking?" ”

The Queen Mother snorted coldly and did not answer.

Kou Shu turned around and looked at Concubine Shu who was kneeling on the ground, Concubine Shu's originally dignified bun had been completely messy, the originally neat hairpins on her head were inserted horizontally and vertically on her head one by one, the original makeup on her face had already been spent, one black and one white, and the vermilion on her lips was wiped aside, which was miserable.

Kou Shu walked forward slowly, glanced at the puppet full of needles on the tray in the palace maid's hand, and said, "Concubine Shu, I found a puppet in your palace that performs the technique of disgust, do you have anything to say?" ”

"Hmph-" The Queen Mother snorted coldly: "Not only that, but this evil obstacle who doesn't know what to do is also added to the cursed puppet." ”

"Huh?" Kou Shu raised her eyebrows, everyone knows that it is a very common poisonous weed, this grass has no effect, only the witchcraft with improper intentions will use it to aggravate the curse on people, and the people of the people are even more people talk about the change of color.

The Queen Mother continued to scold angrily, and the whole person trembled slightly because of anger: "I really blinded the eyes of the mourning family that day, so I would be kind enough to let a harmful person like you enter the palace." ”

Kou Shu was even more puzzled in her heart: "Concubine Shu, now that the evidence is conclusive, these props that perform the technique of disgust were all found in your palace, what do you have to say about this?" ”

Concubine Shu's eyes revealed bursts of pleading, tears kept flowing down a pair of eyes, and she looked up at Kou Shu and shook her head uncontrollably. I tried my best to speak, but I couldn't seem to make a sound.

"Concubine, what do you want to say?" Seeing Concubine Shufei struggling to shake her head, Kou Shu frowned. After a pause, he turned to the Queen Mother and said: "Queen Mother, the sons and daughters see that Concubine Shu seems to have been drugged, and she can't make a voice at the moment, no matter what this matter is, at least Concubine Shu has to open her mouth to explain." If it's so unclear that the decision is made, it's a joke to say it. ”

Lan Ruoxuan frowned and took a step forward and said: "Senior sister, this is wrong, I want this palace to say, I am afraid that the concubine herself is a thief, and she feels that she is clumsy, so she took the dumb medicine on her own initiative, wanting to escape interrogation, so as to escape the sanction." ”
