On the second day, a shocking news spread throughout the palace - the criminal concubine Xiao Concubine, who intended to assassinate the emperor, was robbed in the prison and disappeared.

"Boom-" A golden hairpin fell to the ground.

Youzhu stepped forward, picked up the golden hairpin on the ground, and said, "Niangniang." ”

Lan Ruoxuan shook her head and motioned for Youzhu to let herself be quiet.

Yesterday, according to his brother's instructions, he risked his life to see Xiao Concubine, and it took a lot of effort to make Xiao Concubine recover, and in the wooden box was a piece of the Alien Ghost Sect's teaching card, my brother said, if Xiao Concubine said the secret secret words of the Alien Ghost Sect, be sure to tell him as soon as possible.

How did he know that he told his brother about it on his front foot, and when he woke up this morning, he actually heard the news that Concubine Xiao had been robbed. Although it is secret to sneak into the prison, after all, he came in a hurry, and if he is found by the emperor, he may be difficult to explain.

Youzhu seemed to sense Lan Ruoxuan's worries, and stepped forward and comforted softly: "Niangniang, you can rest assured, the master has always been extremely cautious in doing things, and will never leave clues." ”

Lan Ruoxuan nodded, but heard a commotion outside the door, and couldn't help but raise her head and said, "Who is outside?" ”

Xiangzhi pushed the door, walked up to Lan Ruoxuan and replied: "Niangniang, outside is the Taoist master brought by Gonggong Su, saying that it is the order of the Queen Mother, because of the matter of concubines, all palaces must do things to exorcise evil spirits." ”

Lan Ruoxuan frowned, only to hear Kaori continue: "The slave maid also heard that early this morning, the third prince brought a Taoist priest into the palace. Now the Taoist priest is now in the Xiaoxiang Pavilion. ”

Concubine Xiao was brought into the palace by Song Yuanxu, the third prince, and now that Concubine Xiao had an accident, the first one of the three princes could not say clearly. Now he can only make up for his merits, and he has found a Maoshan Taoist priest from outside the palace to dispel the evil Gu.

Lan Ruoxuan slowly listened to Kaori's news, and let Su Peiyuan take the Taoist master to paste talismans and spells in his palace, but his thoughts had already drifted into the distance.

In the Jinluan Palace, Song Jinyan finished reading today's concert, rubbed his slightly swollen eyes, and subconsciously said, "Su Peiyuan-"

shouted a few times and didn't respond, Song Jinyan suddenly recalled that today Su Peiyuan was instructed by the Queen Mother to go to the palace one by one. Thinking of this, Song Jinyan couldn't help but think of the strange scene in the concubine palace last night, and the queen was probably suspicious before she went. Thinking of this, Song Jinyan couldn't help but be a little impressed by Kou Shu, originally thought that Kou Shu was a woman, but he didn't expect that he was also a sharp-minded and delicate person.

Glancing slightly, Song Jinyan seemed to be speaking towards the air: "The people brought by Song Yuanxu, I can't believe it, you can find another person to check Xiaoxiang Pavilion well." ”

The shadows in the air fluctuated imperceptibly for a moment, and then there was a sharp response: "Yes, master." ”

Song Jinyan waved his hand and motioned for the secret guard to go down and do something.

In Ningkun Palace, the Queen Mother's palace ordered three times more sandalwood than usual, and the clouds and mist were shrouded, like falling into a fairyland.

"Queen Mother, you are-" Lan Ruoxuan came to greet her, and was smoked by the strong incense from afar, frowning.

The Queen Mother sighed: "The Taoist chief said, sandalwood has the effect of calming the mind and dispelling ghosts and gods, and it just so happens that the mourning family has not slept well recently, so I ordered a few more incense burners." ”

said this, but the Queen Mother's words were smoked by the fierce incense, and she choked three times before she finished speaking.

Lan Ruoxuan bowed her head and was silent, but she sneered in her heart.

"The mourning family heard that the evil number that the concubine performed in the palace can't save one of the heirs in the palace, do you know Lan girl?"

Lan Ruoxuan was stunned for a moment, shook her head and said, "Erchen doesn't know. "Thinking that Kou Shu and her children have had accidents one after another, is it really related to this matter? If this is really the case, even if his brother saves him, he will not be able to let his brother spare that concubine. A trace of hatred flashed in Lan Ruoxuan's eyes, and then she returned to her previous meek and well-behaved appearance.

Kou Shu was carrying a bowl of ginseng soup and wanted to send it to the imperial study, but was stopped by Su Peiyuan.

Su Peiyuan said with some embarrassment: "Niangniang, this emperor is not in a good mood, so it's better not to go in." ”

Kou Shu frowned, she went to Xiaoxiang Pavilion to inspect last night, and when she came back, she felt uncomfortable, and she got up in the morning and drank a bowl of thick ginseng soup before she eased up a little. As for why he came to the imperial study with ginseng soup, whether he wanted to take the opportunity to spy on the news or care about Song Jinyan, Kou Shu couldn't tell himself.

Hearing Su Peiyuan's words, Kou Shu didn't dwell on it, handed over the ginseng soup in his hand to Su Peiyuan, and left after a few words.

In the imperial study, Song Jinyan had just finished listening to the secret guard's report at the moment, his face was pale, his fists were clenched tightly because of anger, and the lines of the green tendons on his hands were clear, obviously he was extremely angry.

Song Jinyan opened his mouth, and there was a hint of doubt in his voice: "Yan Yi, what you said is definitely true?" ”

Not long ago, a batch of objects in the palace were stolen from the dragon to the phoenix, Yan Yi went to investigate, but was injured by the blood building, and simply recuperated for a period of time, and now it is also good. Hearing Song Jinyan's words, Yan Yi was upright, nodded, and kowtowed: "Your Majesty, Xuan Tianzun is a well-known Gu driving master in the rivers and lakes, and what he said should be somewhat credible. ”

Xuan Tianzun's investigation today only said that Concubine Xiao was an ordinary mortal in the flesh, and there was no way to control the powerful Tiantong Gu of the infant spirit, and no matter how much essence was voluntarily offered, it would be difficult to control its power.

That day, Tong Gu was already a Cheng Gu, and it should have been buried in the palace many years ago, and someone had already cultivated it, but for some reason, the offering was suddenly interrupted. Causing the Tiantong Gu to temporarily dormant. And Concubine Xiao entered the palace, used her own essence as an introduction, and offered food every day, which was just to wake up the sleeping Tiantong Gu again.

Tiantong Gu is different from ordinary Gu Spirits, its internal resentment is extremely strong, if you want to completely eliminate it, you need a variety of peerless and rare poisons, and you can crack it with poison. Now, the plan can only be temporarily sealed. Wait until the required medicines are found one by one, and then they can be prepared and used. Otherwise, it could only be sealed once every time the Heavenly Child Gu vibrated once.

And the list of more than ten flavors of poison was lying quietly on the desk in front of Song Jinyan.

Weeping Tail Grass, Night Scorpion Lamp, Lich Pill, Dream Charm Incense, Hundred Ghost Sky Eyes, Sun Demon Lotus...... There are even a few herbs that have only been heard of in legends, and no one has ever known exactly where.

Song Jinyan's temples twitched one after another, and the pain was very severe. Suppressing the anger in his eyebrows, Song Jinyan said to Yan Yizheng: "The medicine on this, no matter what, you have to find a way to get it back." ”

Yan Yi looked grim and nodded to accept it.
