The queen sat slightly below Lu Zhaolin's right hand, holding up the tea cup with one hand. Her thick makeup could not hide the sick look on her face: "I am not in good health. Today's palace banquet includes Concubine Lao and Concubine Chen. . I offer tea instead of wine and thank my two sisters here."

Jiang Shiying and the imperial concubine looked at each other, a dark light flashed in their eyes, and then they stood up at the same time, blessing their bodies: "I don't dare."

Next, everything went well at the palace banquet.

In this kind of situation where foreign ministers are involved, no one will do anything without a clear mind.

Just when Jiang Shiying thought of this, she saw a young eunuch entering the palace, kneeling in the palace and reporting loudly: "Your Majesty, the Qin Tian Jian is asking to see you."

His voice was so loud that it directly drowned out the dance music in the hall, attracting everyone's attention to him.

Yao Xingde looked at the little eunuch kneeling in the hall, his eyebrows gradually tightening.

Logically speaking, the little eunuch responsible for delivering the message outside the palace should first pass the message to his ears, and then let him wait for the opportunity and report it to His Majesty in a low voice.

On an occasion like the Mid-Autumn Festival Banquet, there is no such reason and no such rules for rushing into the palace without hesitation and kneeling on the ground to communicate!

This time, someone is trying to cause trouble!

Unlike him who was as if he was facing a formidable enemy, Jiang Shiying poured herself a glass of fruit wine unhurriedly, took a sip, and squinted her eyes in contentment.

The queen really knows how to choose the moment, and she really chose it based on her heart.

The sound of silk and bamboo wind music had stopped long ago, and there was silence in the hall.

Lu Zhaolin's cold eyes fell on the little eunuch. It was only when he began to tremble a little that he heard the deep and cold voice from above: "Pass!"

He wanted to see who was going to make him unhappy on a day like this!

Not long after, Qin Tianjian came into the hall.

"I, Ye Yunwu, see your Majesty, the Queen Mother, the Queen, and all of you."

Lu Zhaolin did not wake up, but asked him: "Why is Ye Qing asking to see you now?"

Ye Yunwu said: "Reporting to your majesty, I have been observing the sky day and night these days and found that there is gold in Xuanyuan."

After the words fell, except for He Meiren, a person from a foreign race, everyone else more or less knew that this situation was closely related to these enchanting beauties in the harem.

He Meiren asked sharply the doubts in her heart: "What is Jin Guanxuanyuan."

Ye Yunwu turned his head and looked at her: "Reporting to the young master, if gold offends Xuanyuan, the heroine will lose power."

He Meiren was surprised: "Mistress, isn't that the Queen?"

She turned her head and looked up: "No wonder the Queen's illness has not been good. It turned out to be because of the astrology?"

Ye Yunwu said: "According to my estimation, the reason why the Queen has been ill for a long time is because someone cast witchcraft."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's expressions darkened.

Even He Meiren, who had never had any brains, quickly shut his mouth, not daring to say another word.

Lu Zhaolin condescended: "Ye Qing, do you know what you are talking about?"

"I know."

"You said someone used witchcraft. Do you have any evidence?"

"I have you."

"Oh?" Lu Zhaolin leaned forward slightly: "What evidence is it?"

"This evidence is in the concubine's residence southwest of Jingxi Garden. If your Majesty sends someone to search, they will surely find it."

Lu Zhaolin snorted coldly: "What do you mean, does one of my concubines practice witchcraft?"

"Yes."

Lu Zhaolin said nothing, and the rest of the people in the hall did not dare to make a sound.

After a long while, Lu Zhaolin asked, "What does the Queen think of this matter?"

When the queen heard this, she covered her lips with a handkerchief and coughed twice, and then said: "To the southwest, there are only four people living in the southwest, the noble concubine, the concubine Chen, the concubine Ning, and the beautiful lady Lan. They are all of noble character, upright and upright. Right.

According to my concubine's opinion, it is impossible for them to do witchcraft. "

After her words fell, before anyone else could speak, she heard the picture screen behind her shouting: "Queen, others are using all means to harm you. Please don't just care about the peace of the harem, but also think more about your own body!"

"Shut up!" the queen yelled angrily. Because of the excitement, the coughing became more intense.

Not only did Huaping not shut her mouth, but she took a few steps forward and knelt on the ground: "Please make the decision for the Queen."

After her, several of the courtiers looked at each other, and then they all came out and knelt in the hall: "Please make the decision for the Queen."

Looking at this scene, Shangshu Ling sighed first, and then closed his eyes helplessly. For today's matter, the queen had better have a complete plan. Otherwise, he would have to...

Just as I was thinking of this, I heard Lu Zhaolin ask: "Shang Shuling, what do you think of this matter?"

Shangshu Ling stood up and knelt down in the palace: "Please order a search of the concubine's residence in the southwest of Jingxi Garden.

If the witchcraft can be found, Your Majesty, please make the decision for the Queen. If you can't find it, please ask Your Majesty to punish the crime of deceiving the public with evil words in the Tianjian Prison. "

Lu Zhaolin chuckled: "Lin You, take someone to investigate."

Less than half an hour later, Lin You returned to the palace to resume his duties.

Seeing the familiar purse in his hand, the queen breathed a sigh of relief.

"Your Majesty, I have discovered this object in Ning Gui's flower-washing pavilion. Among them, there is indeed a witchcraft doll. There is a note on the back of the witchcraft doll. On it is written the birthday of the queen, and the doll's birthday. There were also a few silver needles stuck in his chest.”

The queen's brows twitched, "Huahua Pavilion, how could it be Huahua Pavilion?"

She was confused in her heart, but she made a heartbroken expression on her face: "Ning Guifei, I treat you well, why, why do you do such evil things?"

Lu Zhaolin was also a little surprised. He thought that this game was targeting Ah Ying, or the noble concubine and the jade concubine. How could it be Ning Guifei?

"Ning Guibi, do you have an explanation?"

Concubine Ning stood up and walked to the palace. Yingying bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, although this thing was found in my concubine's flower garden, it was not made by me."

"Who gave it to you? Who used such means to assassinate me?"

the queen asked eagerly.

She thought to herself, could it be that Concubine Ning couldn't find a chance to put things into Xiangying Ju, so she wanted to testify against Concubine Chen in person and fight her to the death? She was really willing to sacrifice herself for the Fourth Prince. Pity.

Ning Guifei raised her head and looked at her with clear eyes: "Queen, you personally gave this to me, have you forgotten?"

"What are you talking about?" The queen slapped her palm on the table in anger.

Lu Zhaolin glanced at her, and then turned his gaze back to Ning Guibin: "Ning Guibin, please explain this matter to me."

Concubine Ning kowtowed deeply, and then said: "Your Majesty, a month ago, I went to Mingxiu Pavilion to visit the Queen. The Empress personally handed over the witchcraft doll to me, and asked me to hide it in Concubine Chen's house. Xiangying Curie.

The empress said that Concubine Chen was a thorn in her heart. If I didn't pull out this thorn for her, I would think of my father and brother. "
