Chapter Twenty-Four: Vulgar Witchcraft

"Crossing the small building" has completely changed its appearance through the care of Yan Niang, and it has become the largest gold sales place in the capital in less than a month after opening.

Leng Yue sat in the private room upstairs, looking at the lively hall, and the platform in the hall was sometimes singing and dancing, and sometimes the piano was melodious.

Yan Niang smiled: "How? Are you satisfied? ”

Leng Yue nodded and said, "I just don't know how the data is collected." ”

"Oh, wait a minute." Yan Niang took out a stack of papers from the cabinet behind her and handed it to Leng Yue and said, "That's all for the time being, there are a few big fish that haven't been caught, and the people on the queen's side are too cautious." ”

Leng Yue took a look, Zuo Xiang was worthy of being an upright person, and few of his subordinates were traitors. As for the right minister, he didn't dare to compliment, most of his subordinates had shady deeds.

"Huh? This person is the trusted Jingcheng Mansion Yin? Leng Yue asked, pointing to an unfamiliar name.

Yan Niang glanced at it and said, "You don't know yet, the queen has made a lot of money and has started to sell her official position." This Hutu was a wealthy merchant in northern Xinjiang who bought this official with two gold mountains. ”

Two gold mountains, Leng Yue began to fantasize about how much gold the two gold mountains can produce.

"What do you think?" Seeing Leng Yue in a daze, Yan Niang patted her and said with a smile.

Leng Yue came back to her senses and said embarrassedly: "It's nothing, I'm just fantasizing about how much gold can be produced in Jinshan." However, the gold mountain can only be mined by the government, so how can Hutu buy and sell it privately? ”

Yan Niang smiled mysteriously and said: "Actually, he used two pictures to exchange official positions with the queen, and he didn't have the courage to privately mine Jinshan." These two mountains of gold are invisible, do you want to intervene? ”

Leng Yue thought for a moment and said, "Tell me the location of Jinshan, and I will charge it to the treasury." "She doesn't want to lack military pay on the frontier, and her beloved is still there.

"The location is in the Valley of the White Worms, where there are so many poisonous insects, so no one knows that there are two gold mines there. The terrain of this White Worm Valley is like a gourd, the outside is full of poisonous insects, and the inner part is the golden mountain. ”

"Okay, I've made a note of it, help me find out why the queen wants so much silver? And what is her relationship with Jialanguo? Leng Yue commanded in a low voice.

Yan Niang squeezed her eyes and said, "Tian Yuan asked me to send him to Jialan Country, and when he comes back, there will be news and tell you when the time comes." ”

Leng Yue asked in surprise: "You are really ruthless, aren't you afraid that something will happen to him?" ”

Yan Niang pouted and said, "What can happen?" I don't believe that those women in Jialan can be more beautiful than me. If he dares to empathize and don't fall in love, the old lady will castrate him. ”

A drop of sweat slipped on Leng Yue's forehead, this girl, where do you want to go, if Tian Yuan is caught as a spy but dies for a lifetime, she is worried that Tian Yuan will empathize and say goodbye.

Leng Yue saw that there were too many guests, so she took out her veil to cover her face, and she didn't change into men's clothes today, which was a little inconvenient. Yan Niang looked outside and said, "Let's go out and take a walk, it's too noisy here." ”

Leng Yue nodded, walked out of the private room, and when she passed by another room, through the window, Leng Yue saw a pair of big crystal eyes staring at her, Leng Yue was stunned for a moment, feeling that these eyes were very familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them, so she didn't pay attention to them. didn't know that that person was the most powerful backing in her life.

Leng Yue wandered around for a while accompanied by Yan Niang, and before she knew it, she came to the place where she had given the little boy two silver taels. She chuckled and said, "I don't know how he is now, I come to see him every time I leave the palace, but unfortunately I never see him again." ”

Yan Niang asked curiously, "Who?" ”

Leng Yue smiled and told her about the first time she left the palace, and Yan Niang smiled after hearing it: "You are stupid, he must have run away with the silver, you hope that he can pay you back?" ”

Leng Yue smiled faintly: "I don't want him to pay back the silver, I just think that child's eyes are very clear and I like it very much, I am purely concerned, don't distort the facts!" ”

Suddenly, Nian Jiuling turned around suddenly, looked at it cautiously and said: "Let's go back to the palace, there are masters following us, it seems that there is no malicious intent, but for the safety of the mother, it is better to return to the palace as soon as possible." ”

Leng Yue nodded, the purpose of leaving the palace this time has been achieved, it is better to go back as soon as possible. So he said goodbye to Yanniang, and the group hurried back to the palace.

After returning to Huiyue Palace, Leng Yue asked, "You said there is a master tailgating?" ”

Nian Jiuling said: "Since the 'crossing Xiaozhu' came out, that person has been following, and there seems to be no malice, but his light skills are extremely high, and I don't know where it is sacred." ”

At this time, Ruyi came in and said: "Niangniang, the emperor has rewarded a lot of things for Niangniang, do you want to take a look?" ”

Leng Yue said lazily: "What are you?" ”

Ruyi stretched out his hand, crossed his fingers and said, "There are fabrics, jewelry, and two boxes of gadgets, which are said to be for the future little prince." ”

"Oh, let's put it there for now, have you seen it?" Leng Yue asked.

The minion didn't dare to move, but just looked at it superficially. Nothing strange, don't worry. ”

"Well, go down, I'm sleepy, I need to sleep for a while."

"Yes." Ruyi quits.

Leng Yue lay on the bed with a big smile and soon fell asleep, this fake pregnancy was as sleepy as the real pregnancy.

After a few days, Huiyue Palace became lively, not only the emperor came, but even the grounded queen also came, as well as many forbidden soldiers and eunuchs.

Leng Yue took the car and asked, "Your Majesty, what does this mean?" ”

The emperor asked solemnly: "Concubine Ai, you told me, did you use witchcraft to curse the crown prince?" ”

Leng Yue asked in confusion, "What is the Witchcraft Technique?" ”

Seeing Leng Yue's confusion, the emperor didn't seem to be faking, stretched out his hand to pull her to sit aside, and said to Ruan's father-in-law: "Search!" ”

Duke Ruan received the order and began to search Huiyue Palace inch by inch with the forbidden army and eunuchs.

The queen stood aside with a cold face, holding a string of Buddhist beads in her hand and twisting them one by one.

Not long after, a eunuch found a puppet full of steel needles in Huiyue Palace and presented it to the emperor.

The emperor's face suddenly darkened, the queen's eyes showed a fierce light, and she said viciously: "Leng Yue, you have gone too far, not to mention taking the emperor's favor, but also harming the children in this palace, do you dare to be sure that the child in your womb is a boy?" You must know that the prince will not be deposed easily, so you use this vicious witchcraft to kill the prince. Your Majesty, you have to be the master of your concubines and the crown prince! The queen fell to her knees with a mournful face.

At this time, a small eunuch came in and knelt down in front of the emperor. He kowtowed like pounding garlic and hissed: "The puppet thing was forced by the concubine Niangniang to do it. Your Majesty, just spare the slave's life, and the slave will not dare next time. ”

As soon as the little eunuch finished speaking, another little palace maid who claimed to be the secretary of Huiyue Palace came in and said to the emperor: "The slave maid saw the noble concubine Niangniang and Xiao Anzi speaking outside the gate of the queen's palace. I couldn't hear what I said, but I saw that this little Anzi knelt down for the concubine twice, and the concubine gave him a jade pendant. ”

The emperor took the jade pendant presented by Father-in-law Ruan, and his face was full of anger. He said coldly to Leng Yue, "Isn't this the jade pendant I rewarded you?" ”
