Situ Yan raised the corners of her lips, but quickly concealed her smile and said with certainty: "That's exactly what the Queen Mother said."
The Queen Mother frowned tightly, and just as she was about to speak, Situ Yan's voice sounded again: "Queen Mother, I have indeed been unwell recently. I'm afraid there must be some villain in this palace, and we must investigate thoroughly."
The Queen Mother looked at Situ Yan and said in a deep voice: "You can't do anything wrong with your body now. This is related to the future prince."
Situ Yan's face was a little pale, and there was a faint black under her beautiful eyes. It was obvious that she had not had a good rest for many days. She had a troubled expression on her face and said pitifully: "I really have no choice. If this continues, I will
I am really scared of the emperor...
"In this case, let's go search it, just in case." The Queen Mother glanced at Situ Yan meaningfully and continued: "If there is something, the Ai family will never take it lightly."
As soon as she finished speaking, the Queen Mother turned around, made a gesture, and ordered Moya: "Moya, according to the instructions of the Ai family, send people to search the entire harem, search carefully to see if there is anything strange.
Come back immediately and report to the Ai family."
Moya said respectfully: "Yes, I will do it immediately."
At this time, a eunuch came in respectfully and said, "The Queen Mother, the Imperial Concubine has come to say hello."
Soon, two slender figures walked into the Cining Palace. The one in front of them was Concubine Hui. Her face was a little haggard and she didn't look well. Yun Jingchu followed them and they walked into the hall.
He respectfully greeted the Queen Mother, looked up and saw Situ Yan was there, and they all said in unison: "See the Queen Mother, see the Queen."
"No need to be too polite, please give me a seat." The Queen Mother looked at Concubine Hui and asked with concern: "Hui'er, your face doesn't look too good. Are you feeling unwell as well?"
Situ Yan was sitting upright, looking elegant and generous. Her eyes turned around Concubine Hui and Yun Jingchu, and she said with a smile: "Yes, my sister looks bad too. She looks really good."
You need to search the harem, maybe there really is something evil..."
"Thanks to the concern of the Queen Mother and the Empress, there is nothing wrong with me." Concubine Hui sat elegantly on the chair below. She was not surprised by their words, but said lightly: "What kind of search is the Empress talking about?
"
"I suspect that something evil is causing trouble in the harem, so I came here to report it to the Queen Mother. I hope the Queen Mother will send someone to search." Situ Yan said unhurriedly, explaining without any trouble.
"That is indeed a search." Concubine Hui said lightly, without any emotion on her face.
But Yun Jing's head was still hanging low at first, and her hair didn't even tremble, as if she was standing here insignificantly.
Situ Yan looked at the two people below, and couldn't help but sneer in her heart. These two damn people must not know that everything has been arranged, and they act like it has nothing to do with them. You will feel better later. Think of it.
Here, the smile on the corner of her mouth slightly raised, Concubine Hui, Yun Jingchu, please enjoy this last moment of happiness.
At this time, everyone in the hall was silent, sitting silently thinking about their own moods. Occasionally, the sound of teacups being picked up and put down could be heard.
After a full three hours, Moya, who went to search, did not come back. Instead, a bright yellow figure walked in.
"Mother, why did you suddenly send people to search the harem?" Yu Wenrui strode forward, his handsome face obviously unhappy. Just now, the sound of Concubine Hui's piano made him sleep soundly, but he was awakened by a burst of noisy sounds.
Only from Mo Ya's mouth did he know that the Queen Mother sent people to search the harem, so he immediately came to Cining Palace to ask what happened.
The Queen Mother looked at her prince and explained: "The Queen has been having nightmares recently and is feeling unwell. She suspected that something evil was causing trouble in the palace, so the Ai family sent people to investigate thoroughly."
Listening to what the Queen Mother said, Yu Wenrui remembered the nightmare that Situ Yan had said, and felt an inexplicable tremor in his heart. Just as he was about to speak, he heard footsteps, so he quickly turned around and looked at the person who walked in.
I saw Moya returning from the search. He first saluted everyone one by one, then clapped his hands and said, "Bring everything up."
Hearing these words, Situ Yan's red lips curved into an imperceptible smile, and she was filled with anticipation.
I saw a palace maid carrying a tray into the hall. Although the tray was covered with red cloth, it looked bulging, as if there was something hidden underneath.
The Queen Mother looked solemn and asked in a deep voice: "Moya, what have you found?"
Mo Ya's face darkened, she nodded, and then she respectfully said to the Queen Mother: "To Queen Mother, all the palaces are very clean, except..." Mo Ya said, glanced at Concubine Hui, and continued:
"In addition to Concubine Hui's palace, we found five wooden figures in Huining Palace."
A smile appeared on Situ Yan's lips. These villains were enough to give Concubine Hui the death penalty.
Hearing the words "little wooden man", the Queen Mother's delicately maintained face was filled with shock. She immediately stood up and said, "What, little wooden man?!"
Moya immediately opened the cloth. As expected, five little figures made of wood were lying on it, and their whole bodies were pricked with needles. Looking at Concubine Hui, she suddenly frowned. She didn't expect that these five things turned out to be
Find it in her palace.
The Queen Mother's face suddenly became extremely ugly. A pair of sharp eyes immediately fell on Concubine Hui and continued to ask: "Concubine Hui, what's going on with these villains?"
Concubine Hui frowned, stood up, and said in confusion: "Queen Mother, I have never seen these villains before."
Moya looked at the Queen Mother, hesitated for a moment, and finally said: "Queen Mother, these villains belong to the art of witchcraft."
Yun Jingchu slowly raised her lips, but Concubine Hui's face showed a look of surprise. She really didn't know what was going on? Who hid these things in her Huining Palace.
"Concubine Hui, don't you explain what's going on?" The Queen Mother still felt that Concubine Hui would not do such a thing, but now that such a thing was found in her palace, she still felt that she should be strict
Interrogate to correct authority.
"Queen Mother, when the late emperor was still in power, there was this kind of witchcraft in the harem. At that time, the queen mother was almost implicated. Then the late emperor gave an order that whoever allowed this kind of witchcraft to appear in the harem must be killed.
Execution or exile." Situ Yan suddenly said: "Sister, why do you do it when you know you shouldn't do it? Who has such a deep hatred against you, and you want to use this method to retaliate against him?"
As soon as he said these words, Yu Wenrui realized something was wrong, and his face darkened. He looked at the wooden man above that was covered with needles, and the violence all over his body was aroused. The beautiful eyes were like cruel wolf eyes, bloodthirsty and cruel. It turned out that Yan Yan had
It turns out that this is the meaning of my son’s nightmare. Could it be that these little figures have his birthday and name written on them?
Thinking about it, the tall body quickly stepped forward, picked up the little figures and took a look. When he saw the birth dates and names on them, he was stunned...
Seeing Yu Wenrui's expression, everyone immediately knew the answer. Yu Wenrui's birthday and name must have been written on it.
The Queen Mother thought of her son being treated like this, and ignored what Concubine Hui had done before, and immediately scolded: "Concubine Hui, how dare you kill the king, someone, please escort Concubine Hui to me -"
"Queen Mother, I have never done this before..." Concubine Hui's beautiful eyes showed a hint of panic.
"Sister, didn't you tell me before that you love the emperor deeply? Why would you do such a thing now?" Situ Yan's voice was clear and cold, ringing throughout the hall.
Soon two guards walked in. Concubine Hui's eyebrows deepened and she couldn't help but explain: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I really don't know what is going on."
At this time, Yu Wenrui suddenly stretched out his hand to stop the two guards, then picked up the villain and walked to a high place, "Mother, this is not the horoscope and name of my son, but Yan'er's."
As soon as these words were said, everyone was stunned. Even Situ Yan couldn't believe her ears. She clearly asked Fanghua to give Qingyun a villain who wrote the emperor's birthday and name. How could this change?
Become your own, what on earth is going on?
A sneer flashed across Yun Jingchu's lips, but she kept her head down and remained silent.
The Queen Mother frowned, looking at the name and birth date on the little figure, but the expression on her face revealed that she was very surprised, and her mouth moved, as if she was embarrassed.
"Sister, how much do you hate me to treat me like this?" Situ Yan immediately regained her emotions this time, as if she had changed her face. She looked at Concubine Hui excitedly and said, "Is it because of that day when you knelt down that you always
I hold a grudge in my heart, but it’s a pity that because of my status, you used this kind of witchcraft to treat me like this. Sister, you are so cruel. You know that I still have the emperor’s child in my belly, but you don’t even have a child.
Never let go."
"I didn't do that." Concubine Hui's thoughts were very confused at the moment. She stood up angrily and clenched her fists.
Situ Yan glanced at Concubine Hui and continued: "Sister, the matter has come to this and you are still making excuses. I know that you have always been dissatisfied with me taking the position of queen, but you can't use this method. Don't you know
, is this kind of witchcraft something that the late emperor once explicitly prohibited?"
When Yu Wenrui heard this, he suddenly remembered something. After all, this kind of witchcraft has always been an evil thing. Now think about it, is this border battle also due to this influence, so he was repeatedly defeated? Thinking of this, he suddenly
He raised his head and stared at Concubine Hui in disbelief.
"Concubine Hui, why did you do this?" He really didn't understand why Concubine Hui, who had always been considerate, would do such a thing, and even engage in witchcraft. This was a serious crime ordered by the late emperor to be beheaded.
The Queen Mother also sighed and said: "Yes, Concubine Hui, that time you made a mistake and had to kneel down to the Queen in public. How can you resent and curse her now? You don't look like an imperial concubine anymore.
What you did?"
"The Queen Mother, I am not a concubine, no, I am really not a concubine!" Concubine Hui suddenly became extremely frightened, immediately knelt down and exclaimed: "Your Majesty, I will never do such a thing.
