Chapter 132: Ghosts and gods indicate murderous intentions everywhere
Ma’s anger has not subsided when she came to Mulan Palace.
Her aunt Concubine Ying had already rested, so she came to the room at the back.
The maid advised: "Master, please calm down and don't be like that bitch.
They are so mean-spirited that they can be beaten and scolded, but they are just so angry that they don’t deserve it.”
Ma said: "That little prostitute is certainly hateful, but I am not really angry with her.
Whose power is she relying on? Don't you know? Now that Lan Ning has just shown her pregnancy, the people over there have turned their eyes upward. If she really gives birth to an imperial grandson, wouldn't she have to kill her even more?
Stepping into the mud?!"
"It's no wonder that the master is angry. We have been in the palace for more than half a day, and we have heard people everywhere saying that the fifth prince's concubine is pregnant with a boy.
It seems that all the fiefdoms in Gyeonggi Province have been registered to them, but it’s not certain yet! They are all so eager to please!"
Ma is narrow-minded, and the slightest excuse can arouse all the resentment and anger in her heart.
All the things happening in front of her already made her extremely angry, and when she thought that the child in her belly would lag behind Lan Ning's child in everything from now on, she became even more furious.
"By the way, Master, didn't we hear someone say today that there is an old nanny in Suxin Palace who can use the method of hanging a needle to cover a bowl to determine whether it is a boy or a girl?" Ma's maid was still not happy when she saw her master, so she turned to another matter.
I care more about things above.
Sure enough, Ma immediately responded: "Those imperial doctors always refuse to tell the truth.
Every time I am pregnant and I ask them to find out whether it is a boy or a girl, they are always vague and prevaricate.
I just don’t know if this mama is accurate?”
"It doesn't matter whether it's accurate or not," the maid said, "Why don't we just call her over and have a look, just to relieve our boredom."
Ma was worried about whether the baby was a boy or a girl, and she almost got sick, so she said: "In that case, you can whisper to the person in charge here, and then go and bring her in through the back door. At this moment, everyone is
When I took a nap, there were no people on the road."
"Slave, let's go now." The maid got up and left.
After some time, an old woman with all white hair was brought in.
She knelt down to greet Concubine Ma, who said: "Get up! Do you know what I asked you to do?"
"The old slave knows." The old nanny said, "This eldest sister told me."
"If you see more accurately, you will naturally be rewarded." Ma said, pretending not to care.
The woman got up from the ground and asked someone to prepare a red silk thread and an embroidery needle for her.
She asked Ma to pass the thread through the eye of the needle, stretch the threads at both ends, then lift the thread in her hand and let the needle hang down.
There are words murmuring in his mouth, but he doesn't know what he is reciting.
Then he asked Ma to stretch out his wrist. The needle that was swinging left and right stopped and pointed at Ma's wrist.
Then she took two identical covered bowls, put a flower in one bowl, put a fruit in the other bowl, and closed the lid.
He kept fiddling with the two bowls, asking them to change their positions with each other, and then said to Ma: "Please move outside first, and walk a hundred steps outside, and then come in."
Ma was supported by the maid and walked outside, then came back.
The old woman placed the previous tureen in front of her and said to her: "Please open one."
Ma hesitated for a long time, then opened the one on the left, and there was a fruit inside.
The old nanny couldn't help but smile, her wrinkled face looked like wind-swept skin: "Congratulations to the second prince and concubine! Congratulations to the second prince and concubine! Your baby will definitely be a boy.
When the silver needle stops, the incense will bloom; when you turn over the fruit, you must be a young man. You can’t go wrong."
Ma and her two maids were naturally very happy after hearing this.
In fact, this is just a folk way to resolve doubts, but women prefer to be superstitious about this method.
Ma immediately wiped a bracelet off her wrist and said, "This gold bracelet is a reward for you. If you really give birth to a grandson, there will definitely be benefits for you."
The old nanny lay on the ground to thank her, and then said, "I will use bamboo chopsticks to test the child's luck and fortune to see if the child will be born and grow up safely. I wonder if the second prince and concubine want to test it?"
After finishing speaking, he quickly added: "I'm not doing this to ask for reward, I'm really grateful for your kindness."
Ma was very excited because she found out she was a son. After hearing what her mother-in-law said, she naturally wanted to take a test.
The woman then asked for bamboo chopsticks, water bowl, incense, ash and other items, and played with them for a long time, her expression changing from happy to sad.
"If you have anything to say, just say it directly." Ma noticed her hesitation, "I don't blame you."
The old lady knelt on the ground and said, "The grandson in your belly can be born safely."
"What about the future?" Ma asked.
"In the future..." the mother-in-law muttered, "I will be able to grow up healthily in the future."
"In that case, why did you look so troubled just now?" Ma stared at her closely and said, "Do you think I am a three-year-old child?"
"I don't dare to lie, I'm just afraid that my calculations won't be accurate." The old lady didn't dare to raise her head.
"Just tell me whether it's accurate or not, and we will naturally identify it." The maid urged.
"Judging from the divination just now, the emperor's grandson is smart, talented and virtuous. But there is one thing. He has always been suppressed by others since he was born.
That person should be about the same age, but he opposed him at every turn. It can be said that he took away all the good luck in his life."
"Okay, stop talking." Ma's face turned pale after hearing this.
The old lady kowtowed quickly and said, "Second prince and concubine, please calm down. It's all nonsense told by this old slave."
"It's nothing for you. You can go down! Remember what happened today and don't tell others. If I know that you have told others, I will throw your old bones and feed them to the dogs!" Ma's words were stern and frightening.
The old lady retreated in panic.
"Master, don't believe that woman's nonsense." The maid turned around to comfort Ma.
"Do you think I'm angry that she's talking nonsense?" Ma glanced at her and sneered, "In my opinion, what she said couldn't be more accurate.
The child in my belly cannot become the emperor's eldest grandson, so all the benefits will naturally not fall on him.
But it’s only three months away, and I’m going to be bullied everywhere. It’s so popular that it’s really frustrating!”
"You mean the mother-in-law is referring to the child in the belly of the fifth prince's concubine?" the maid asked.
"Who else could it be if it wasn't him?" Madam Ma said bitterly, "How could that woman know what's going on in the cold palace? But she is really inseparable."
At this time, Ma Shi was already thinking about how to get rid of the child in Lan Ning's belly. As long as this little devil died, his son would be the emperor's eldest grandson.
Until that night, two black figures stood facing each other on the west side of Suxin Palace.
"Ma Feiyan asked you to come over today?"
"Yes, I said everything as I was told."
"Very good, this is the benefit I promised you before, take it."
"Hey, thank you so much for the gift."
"Watch your mouth and don't talk nonsense. It's none of your business!
"I know, I know, I won't tell anyone."
The two black shadows separated and each disappeared into the depths of darkness.
