Chapter 185: The Elephant of Great Murder
Concubine Jing was almost crazy, and shouted hysterically, "Don't come here, you're already dead, don't you know? Why are you pestering me? We used to be close, but the living and the dead can't play together, don't you understand?"
Princess Rui was even more puzzled, and said a little blankly, "Am I already dead?"
As she spoke, red blood spread across her chest and slowly spread throughout her body.
Seeing this terrifying scene, Concubine Jing screamed again.
"Ahh
The screams broke the silence of the afternoon, and the maidservant who was waiting outside the hall hurriedly walked in.
"Mother, what's wrong with you?"
Concubine Jing opened her eyes and found that she was still lying on the couch in the hall, with curling smoke in the incense burner next to her, and the melons, fruits, and snacks on the table were also readily available.
Her palms were in a cold sweat, and she was helped up by the maid in a trance.
"What time is it?"
The maidservant glanced at the sundial outside, "It's just after noon."
Concubine Jing's heart was filled with coldness, and then she couldn't help but be angry, and finally frowned.
Her friendship with Princess Rui is indeed deep, Rao is the other party has been dead for many years, and she can't help but miss it from time to time.
It's just like this recently, but it has never happened, could it be that something happened that caused the dead Princess Rui to not be able to look away, so she frequently dreamed of her?
Thinking about it, Concubine Jing ordered: "Send the order to the Yin Yang Pavilion, this palace needs someone to calculate a hexagram for this palace to determine the origin of the nightmare in recent days."
"Yes."
The maidservant Huan'er retreated, and soon spread the news to the Yin Yang Pavilion.
At this time, in the palace, the disciples of the Yin-Yang Pavilion and the Chaotian Guards were intensively searching for the female cadres hiding in the palace.
Therefore, the palace people who are recorded must go through a strict check, and their identities can be confirmed one by one before they can return to their respective posts.
The palace maids and eunuchs who didn't know the situation were very frightened, for fear that because of their temporary negligence, they would be punished for killing their heads. z.br>
"Hurry up, next."
The soldiers in charge of the investigation all had cold faces, because they didn't know where the profound Netherworld Cultist would be hiding.
It wasn't until it was getting late that the identities of all the palace people were re-verified, and the disciples of the Yin-Yang Pavilion and Chaotianwei also began to collect troops.
Li Moxing and Bai Yuexiu were appointed to take charge of this matter, so naturally they couldn't slack off, and after counting the number of people, they would take back all the information to see if there was anything wrong.
Not long after, King Rong and Qin Yuetian also arrived, followed by the ghost envoy judge who came to tell Concubine Jing's fortunes.
Qin Yuetian bowed his hand, and Bai Yuexiu also saluted King Rong.
Qin Yuetian was the first to speak: "I don't know if His Royal Highness King Ling and Lord Bai Shaogu will have a harvest today?"
Bai Yuexiu clasped his hands to his chest and remained silent, Li Moxing had expected him to be like this, and said lightly: "No suspicious has been found yet, this king plans to review these materials overnight to see if there are any fish that have slipped through the net."
The corners of Qin Yuetian's mouth grinned slightly, and he didn't smile and said, "Your Highness really forgot to sleep and eat, and the old minister admires it."
After they finished greeting, Rong Dynasty said sharply, "Second brother, have you gone to your mother's harem today to say goodbye?" She's been keeping a hard eye on you lately."
King Ling's hand hidden in his sleeve subconsciously shook it, and said quietly: "I have been busy with official business before, and when the information is verified tomorrow, I will immediately enter the palace to ask her for peace."
King Rong nodded: "In that case, we will leave first, Concubine Jing still has some things to deal with."
The two sides said goodbye.
When they walked away, Bai Yuexiu said casually, "Concubine Jing's Jingyang Palace should be in that direction, right?"
Li Moxing followed his gaze and glanced forward, "What do you see?"
Bai Yue Xiu snorted coldly: "All the spells in the Xuanmen, once formed, there will be a condensation of qi, and the cloud of qi in the sky above Jingyang Palace is exactly the horse's feet exposed by the person who performed the spell."
Li Moxing thought for a moment: "Since you can see it, then Qin Yuetian is sure
I know."
Bai Yuexiu snorted with a little disdain: "Although his Taoism can be regarded as a master in the Xuanmen, it is far worse than my master, even if he can see it, he may not be able to solve it."
Li Moxing's eyes turned slightly: "You mean to say that the people who cast the spell are very profound?"
Bai Yue was silent for a moment, and his expression looked a little solemn.
"Listening to King Rong's meaning, the queen handed over the affairs of Jingyang Palace to him and the Yin Yang Pavilion to deal with?"
At the same time, the judge who was invited to Jingyang Palace to tell Concubine Jing also stood in front of Concubine Jing.
"See Concubine Jing."
Concubine Jing sat on the chaise longue with a dignified demeanor, glanced at him and said, "The person who sent the message must have already told you about the requirements of this palace, if the judge has no doubts, let's start."
Only then did the judge raise his head and say, "Forgive the minister, the minister needs to take a closer look at the face of the mother before telling the fortune."
Concubine Jing raised her head generously: "Your Excellency, it's okay to look at it."
The judge then looked at her face and looked at her carefully for a long time.
"In addition to the frequent nightmares just now, is there anything uncomfortable?"
Concubine Jing thought for a while: "It's just that I'm very sleepy, I used to take a nap in the afternoon, but I had to sleep for an hour in the last two days, and I woke up in a dream in the end."
The judge nodded, knelt down on the futon brought by the palace maid, took out the copper coin from his sleeve, shook it in his palm and shook it cautiously, and then threw it towards the floor in front of him.
Although he has helped many people calculate hexagrams in his life, he must be cautious when talking to royal people, so he looked at it for a moment before he considered speaking.
"This hexagram is like a clash of yin and yang, which is a sign of fate and mutual restraint."
Concubine Jing was born in a wealthy family and had read some books, so when she heard this, she showed an uneasy look.
Although the judge knew that the hexagram was not good, he didn't dare to do that deceitful thing, so he had to give up his hand and say: "Hui Niangniang, the layout of this hexagram is messy and uneven, and there are no birds, so it can be concluded that this is a great evil elephant."
Concubine Jing was frightened, and hurriedly sat down on the couch and stood up: "Then does the adult have a way to solve the dilemma?"
The maidservant next to her saw that she was so nervous, and hurriedly stepped forward to hold her, for fear that she would faint again.
The judge looked at the hexagram and pondered for a moment, then looked up at the beams and pillars of the outer hall.
"If the subordinates are not mistaken, there should be something hidden on the pillars in this hall that makes the mother have nightmares day and night."
Concubine Jing was startled and hurriedly asked the eunuch palace people to go up to find it.
After a while, he took out an ugly thing carved out of wood.
Concubine Jing was very surprised to see that thing, and pointed at it tremblingly, "What is this? Why has Hongu never seen it?"
The judge motioned for the palace people to deliver the things to his eyes, and reached out to take them carefully.
After looking at it for a moment, he said, "This is a nightmare beast, a kind of evil art in the Xuanmen, which specializes in causing people to have nightmares, and the dreams are all hideous and terrifying things."
Concubine Jing was shocked and said angrily, "Who is so vicious that he used this thing to frame me?"
Judging that the nightmare beast was wrapped in a handkerchief and put it in his sleeve, he arched his hand and said, "Niangniang, don't worry, when the subordinates bring this thing back to the Yinyang Pavilion, do a ritual to eliminate the curse of this thing on Niangniang, Niangniang will be able to sleep peacefully."
