Chapter 341: Haunted
The poison in Pei Xiner's body was very troublesome, and the doctor prescribed many medicines, and she had to take one after a while, which was very troublesome. Fortunately, these medicines all have the effect of calming the nerves and promoting sleep, so she was awake every day.
Less, more often when I'm asleep, so it's not too painful.
However, Zhao Yutong entered the palace the next morning and informed the emperor of Pei Xiner's idea. Of course, he had already added a lot of content at this time, and Pei Xiner just expressed his idea.
But every step has been completed and the plan is comprehensive. As soon as the emperor agrees, the plan can be launched immediately.
The emperor was shocked when he heard this idea, but as expected, he did not reject it too much. For him, nothing is more important now than avenging his mother and concubine. In order to achieve this goal,
What is there that he is unwilling to do for this purpose?
However, before he agreed, he looked at Zhao Yutang with a smile and asked: "I'm afraid you can't come up with such a sinister idea, right? Pretending to be a ghost? This is quite new!"
Zhao Yutiao smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, this is indeed not Weichen's idea, but Xin'er's. I think it makes some sense, so I made some improvements based on it."
Zhao Yutsao frowned secretly, but with a helpless smile on his face, he looked at him and said: "Your Majesty is wrong. She is still taking medicine, and her sleep is less when she is awake than when she is asleep.
I didn’t want her to worry too much. But she saw for herself that I had something on my mind, so she insisted on sharing my worries and solving my problems. I couldn’t do anything to her."
He said helpless words, but the expression on his face was vaguely showing off. When the emperor saw it, he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy. However, he hid his thoughts very well, but he didn't let Zhao Yutang see it, and nodded.
He said: "Her health is not yet well, so she really shouldn't worry too much about it. You should be more careful when doing things in the future, and don't let her see it again, otherwise it will not be good for her health."
Zhao Yutang responded yes. Obviously he didn't want to continue this topic and said: "Your Majesty, then this matter..."
The emperor also pulled his thoughts back and said with a cold smile: "Just do it, I'm sure. I want to see what kind of hard-hearted woman this powerful 'Queen Mother' is."
So the emperor recruited the commander of the imperial guards and the chamberlain around him. If he wanted to do something in the palace, he would naturally need the cooperation of the imperial guards and palace personnel. They were all the emperor's confidants, so although he felt that something was wrong, since
The emperor had decided, and they just had to implement it. Originally, there had been such rumors. No one took it to heart. Except for the low-level palace people who secretly discussed it, none of the palace masters cared about it.
.
But later on, the rumors of this haunting became very popular and spread. More and more palace people were said to have seen ghosts, and many people were frightened and sick. In order to quell the rumors, the emperor specially asked the imperial doctor to treat them.
The conclusion was that he was overly frightened, which actually encouraged the spread of the message. Soon after, various rumors spread in the harem, and even low-level concubines joined the ranks of "ghost-hunting".
At this time, the masters could no longer turn a blind eye. The queen was furious and ordered those palace servants who claimed to have "seen ghosts" to be arrested and beaten. Unfortunately, they were not healed yet and were beaten with the cane again. This time they were really beaten.
It's a big pain. But I don't know if the queen has any scruples. Although she ordered people to be punished, it was not serious or serious, and it was not likely to cause death.
But even so, the rumors of haunting could not be suppressed until one night, the "ghost" actually appeared outside the queen's window, frightening the queen and fainted. Now it seemed that the palace was haunted.
, no one dares to say that is a "rumor" anymore.
As a member of the harem, although the Queen Mother lives outside the concubines, she is still in the palace after all. Naturally, this haunted incident cannot be hidden from her. She took it as a joke at first,
After being immersed in the harem for so many years, what has she never seen? This is probably caused by some concubine competing for favor, right?
But later on, she couldn't help but calm down, because the ghost slowly moved towards her bedroom. Judging from its trajectory, it was heading directly towards the Queen Mother.
This is very strange. Why does the fight between the concubines in the harem involve the Queen Mother?
Could it be that this was originally aimed at the Queen Mother?
Suddenly, all the eyes in the harem were focused on the Queen Mother, and everyone couldn't help but wonder what kind of unscrupulous thing the Queen Mother had done, so that the ghosts of the harem came to her door.
Naturally, the Queen Mother was furious. She called the Queen who was still recovering from illness and gave her a big scolding. She scolded her for not managing the harem properly and allowing such outrageous rumors to spread. More importantly, who was in this palace?
She is pretending to be a ghost, and if the queen cannot find out, it is her dereliction of duty. If she really can't manage the harem, the queen mother would not mind taking care of it for her.
Although the Queen is the mother of the country, the Queen Mother is also her mother-in-law. She felt wronged, but she did not dare to disobey the Queen Mother, so she had to accept the errand with a grimace. After returning to Qifeng Palace, she was at a loss what to do and did not know what to do.
Only in this way can this unreasonable disaster be eliminated. This is also the reason why the emperor deliberately did not reveal this plan to her in order to be realistic. Otherwise, if the Queen Mother's palace detects any clues from the Queen, their work will be in vain.
Two more days later, various rumors in the palace became more and more widespread. Even the various things the Queen Mother had done in the late emperor's harem were consciously leaked by interested people, and after some encouragement from the emperor and others,
, the current rumors are basically focused on the Queen Mother, saying how she has done some evil things, and who has died in her hands, and now those people have come back to take revenge, etc. They talk about it in a eloquent and serious way.
When the Queen Mother heard these rumors, she was so angry that she almost lost her breath. She was so furious that she immediately wanted to investigate the origin of the rumors personally. After killing two talkative little palace maids with a cane, not only was she not as good as her
Contain the rumors as much as I thought
The spread of the news seemed to be even more powerful. People in the palace were talking behind their backs. The Queen Mother was such a ruthless person, and there were countless innocent souls who died at her hands. Even if one or two of them would come back to seek revenge on her, it would be unreasonable.
Not surprising!
At night, the Queen Mother had gone to bed, but she woke up suddenly for some reason in her sleep. Then she saw one of the palace maids who had been killed with a cane during the day standing in front of her bed, with a pale face, bleeding from her orifices, and disheveled hair.
She didn't say a word, just stared straight at her, which made her heart tremble. Even the most fearless person could not help but stand on end.
Unexpectedly, she wanted to shout but couldn't. She just felt as if something was pressing down on her. She couldn't move or make a sound. She could only watch the palace maid staring at her, becoming more and more nervous. Later,
I felt like I couldn't breathe, so I rolled my eyes and fainted.
So the next morning when the palace maid came to help her get up, she saw the noble Queen Mother lying on the bed with green lips and white lips, unconscious, and there was a bed underneath her. She couldn't help but look at each other in shock.
They did not dare to neglect, so they woke up the Queen Mother and helped her clean herself and change clothes. They took out all the things on the bed and burned them to prevent the Queen Mother from getting angry. At the same time, they hurriedly sent someone to ask the imperial doctor to take the Queen Mother's pulse. They asked who it was.
They had never thought about the evil spirit. The Queen Mother's usual strength gave them an illusion, as if this woman had never known what "fear" meant. How could she be frightened to the point of fainting and incontinence by the so-called "inhuman spirit"?
However, the Queen Mother knew exactly how she fainted, but she could not explain the reason. Therefore, after a long time of diagnosis and treatment, the imperial doctor could only come to the conclusion that she had not covered herself properly at night and "caught an occasional cold". The emperor rushed to the scene after hearing the news.
I came to "visit" her, and I was secretly happy when I saw her haggard face, whether due to fright or lack of rest.
The strategy that Pei Xiner contributed was really good. Even if the Queen Mother could not be found guilty in the end and could not be completely punished, giving her a lesson like this would be very satisfying.
Perhaps it was the emperor's overtly sarcastic look that irritated the queen mother. After the emperor left, her face became even more ugly. Regardless of her own physical weakness, she called the queen over again and scolded the emperor.
All the anger suffered there was vented on the queen.
The queen accidentally acted as the venting bag between the two of them, and she was extremely depressed. Shortly after returning to Qifeng Palace, she announced that her condition had worsened, and she closed the door to thank guests. Even the daily routine of greeting the concubines was
Everything came to a halt.
The Queen Mother's misfortune did not stop there. In the following days, different "ghosts" would appear in front of the Queen Mother almost every night. Some were palace servants who were executed by her own hands, and some were the concubines of the late emperor whom she ordered to be eliminated. They
