Three days later, in the early morning, Lu Yuan was freshening up in front of the mirror, when she suddenly heard a commotion outside.

When I went out, I saw a group of people gathered in front of Qin Fangzhai, led by Li Zhong, Yu Qiu, and Aunt Yu of the Shen Criminal Division.

Li Zhong said in a loud voice: "Concubine Shun Niangniang, someone came to the emperor to accuse you of secretly using witchcraft to curse the queen for dystocia, and the servants were ordered to come to search the palace, I'm sorry." ”

Concubine Shun sneered: "Can Gonggong Li tell who exposed this palace?" What is the evidence? ”

"This..." Li Zhong hesitated for a moment and glanced at Yuqiu.

Yuqiu stepped forward and said loudly: "It is the emperor's will to search the palace, and if it is found, it will be evidence." ”

Concubine Shun's eyes were cold, and she asked, "Then what if you can't find it?" ”

Yuqiu said: "If you can't find it, it's the creation of the mother." ”

Concubine Shun flicked her sleeves and said angrily: "Bold slave, dare to talk to this palace like this!" This palace is the main seat of the first palace enshrined by the emperor himself. ”

Yuqiu originally relied on herself to be the queen's personal aunt, and her status was different from that of ordinary palace maids, so she didn't look at Shun Concubine in her eyes, but now she was scolded by Shun Concubine, and she couldn't help but be short of breath, so she had to bow on her knees, Nuo Nuo said: "The slave maid has made a mistake, please forgive the concubine Niangniang." ”

Concubine Shun looked at her coldly, did not speak, and was embarrassed, Aunt Yu said: "Concubine Shun, I also came by order, and asked Niangniang not to embarrass the slaves." ”

Aunt Yu has always had a clear distinction between public and private in the inner court, and she is highly respected, so she said by the way: "This palace is for Aunt Yu's face, and you are allowed to search the palace." ”

When everyone heard this, they breathed a sigh of relief, rushed up, went straight into the inner room, and turned over the boxes and cabinets.

In less than a moment, Yu Qiu held a piece of yellow rune paper in his hand, with a smug look on his face, and asked Concubine Shun: "Niangniang, dare to ask what this is?" ”

When Concubine Shun saw the things in her hand, her face changed slightly, and she wrote lightly: "This is just a peace charm drawn by the palace." ”

Yu Qiu said with a strange smile on her face: "Niangniang, please move to Kunyi Palace and explain in front of the emperor." ”

Shun Concubine had no fear on her face, and automatically walked in front, and everyone was stunned and hurriedly followed. Seeing this, Lu Yuan also followed behind to Kunyi Palace.

In the main hall of Kunyi Palace, the emperor was sitting high on the main seat, his eyes crossed the crowd, and when he saw Lu Yuan coming in, he said, "You are here too." ”

Lu Yuan stepped forward and curtsied: "The concubine is worried about Sister Shun, come and take a look." ”

"Oh." Yu Lin glanced at Concubine Shun, then turned to Aunt Yu and asked, "Have you found anything?" ”

Aunt Yu presented the charm and said, "This is from the bedroom of Concubine Shun, please take a look at it." ”

When Yu Lin saw it, Dengshi's face became very ugly, and he said gloomily: "Is there really such a thing? Shun Concubine, did you really curse the queen? So insidious, did I always look at you wrong? ”

Concubine Shun's face did not change, and said with a slight smile: "The concubine really doesn't know what heinous crime she has committed, this is just a birth talisman that the concubine asked for from Zhang Daochang of Xuanqing Temple, praying that the queen will give birth safely." ”

With such a big reversal in the matter, everyone was stunned, and Yu Qiu hurriedly said: "This is obviously the Seven Evil Talismans, which are used to urge life." ”

Concubine Shun said clearly: "It's obviously a birth charm, if you don't believe it, please ask Daochang Zhang to ask." ”

Yu Lin instructed: "Go to Xuanqing Temple immediately and ask Zhang Daochang to come." ”

Xuanqingguan was originally a Taoist temple enclosed in the palace, for the royal family to do blessings and rituals, so the distance is not far, about half an hour, Zhang Daochang came to the palace.

Zhang Dao's long eyebrows and beards are all white, fairy wind bones, she took the charm, took a closer look, stroked her beard and said: "This is a spell that gives birth, as long as you write the name of the person who is going to give birth, and recite the mantra three times to it every morning and dusk, you can pray for a smooth birth and the safety of mother and child." Lao Dao remembered that a few days ago, a lady in the palace came to ask for this talisman for the queen. ”

Concubine Shun walked up to Daochang Zhang and said with a smile: "It was the concubine who went to ask Daochang." ”

Zhang Daochang looked at Concubine Shun's face, smiled, and said, "Yes, it is this lady." ”

Yuqiu's face was mixed with surprise and chagrin, and she was speechless for a while.

Yu Lin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled lightly: "It turned out to be a misunderstanding. ”

Lu Yuan said loudly: "Does the emperor think it's a misunderstanding?" I don't know who framed Sister Shun to such an evil person. ”

Yu Lin waved his hand and said: "If you care, it will be chaotic, this matter is just a misunderstanding, I will no longer pursue it, the queen is about to give birth, and I don't want to have an accident." Concubine Shun was wronged, and prayed for the queen, sincerity is commendable, Concubine Shun doesn't like those jewels and jade jewelry, so I will give you my "Spring Mountain Travel Map". Concubine Shun smiled and thanked him.

Yu Lin waved his hand again and said, "Everyone else should stand down." Take this as a warning for today's events, and don't cause trouble. ”

The crowd hurriedly echoed and bowed down.

As soon as Lu Yuan and Concubine Shun returned to Jingxi Palace to sit down, they saw Concubine Xian coming from afar, and said with a smile: "I just heard about it, the two of you are fine, I am relieved." Qingning suddenly had a fever the day before yesterday, I just ignored it for two days, how did these things happen? Things started abruptly, and the end was abrupt, which made people unable to turn around. ”

Lu Yuan cared about the princess and asked tightly, "Is the princess okay?" ”

Xian Guifei said: "It's just that the day before yesterday, the nurse took her to walk around in Qiongyuan for a long time, and ate a piece of jujube paste cake in the wind, and the wind was hot, and the fever has subsided today." ”

Shun Concubine said: "The matter is not abrupt, and the end is indeed surprisingly fast." ”

Lu Yuan spat lightly: "Sister still doesn't understand, it must be that the emperor knows that the queen is involved, the queen is about to give birth, and the emperor is unwilling to make a big deal big, so the big thing is turned into a small matter." ”

Concubine Xian nodded and said, "What my sister said is that no matter how big the matter is, it can't be as big as the heir." ”

Lu Yuan said playfully: "Although Sister Shun has suffered some grievances, she also got a "Spring Mountain Travel Map", which is also worth it. ”

Concubine Xian smiled and said, "Sister Yuanyuan is so calculating!" The three laughed together.

Xian Guifei still had something to deal with, so she left first, and Concubine Shun sat for a while and went back to Qinfangzhai.

Lu Yuan sat in front of the window and was silent for a long time, the matter was already very clear at this point, it must have been Ming Qing's secret. She felt a pang of heartache and could barely breathe. Sighing softly, she adjusted her mood and ordered someone to find Mingqing.
