The queen has so many tricks

Chapter 45

The Yangze Shui tribe is located between the Ice tribe in the Northern Wilderness and the Fire tribe in the Southern Zhao Dynasty, and is divided into two veins, the Luoshui River and the Weishui River.The Land of Luoshui is located in the southeast of Central Ze, with a mild climate and four seasons like spring.

But when Chang Ji was ten years old, the land of Luoshui ushered in a cold winter that would never happen in thousands of years.The heavy snow continued for three months, and the imperial capital gradually left the city and was almost buried by the heavy snow.

The ground was frozen and cracked.

The people of Luoshui, who have never experienced the cold winter for generations, have no preparations to keep out the cold, no carbon fire, no cotton clothes, and they will freeze to death even if they hide at home.

Another night of heavy snowfall, Chang Ji woke up amidst the screams of court ladies.At the moment when she woke up, she clearly heard those maids shouting: "Dead! Dead again!"

Chang Ji has been remembering since she was three years old, and she has heard such screams many times.Because the maids who serve her will not last long, three to five months, at most a year, they will die inexplicably.Especially this year, the weather was freezing cold, and the palace servants who served her died more frequently than in previous years.

This one is already the tenth palace lady who has died since the beginning of winter.Moreover, they were all maids who slept with her. They slept well the night before, slept in her bedroom, and died the next morning.

All the palace people in the fasting palace heard the shouts and gathered around the east side hall, but they didn't dare to go inside the hall, they crowded at the entrance of the hall and looked inside.

After hearing the news, Concubine Xian rushed to the fasting palace, walked into the inner hall, and saw a maid lying in the inner hall near the stove.The ground of the inner hall was almost frozen, only the place near the stove had a little heat. The maid lay sideways beside the stove, motionless, an inner officer boldly stepped forward to turn her over, and suddenly saw the maid's face clearly. Rong, everyone took a step back in fright.

The body was already stiff, the limbs were as black as charcoal, but a layer of frost had condensed on the torso.For a moment, I couldn't tell whether it was frozen to death or burned to death.

If it was said to be frozen to death, there would be no scorched marks on the body, but if it was said to be burned to death, the layer of frost formed from the inside of the body.And whether it is burned to death or frozen to death, the face should have a look of pain.

And this palace lady actually looked like a living person, her eyes were open, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, which looked very strange and terrifying on the face of a dead person.

A court lady was terrified, her face was terrified, and her whole body was shaking like chaff. She pointed to the long man lying on the bed and said, "It's her...the curse...the curse...it's the curse on her body, as long as anyone who gets close to her Everyone is going to die..."

Chang Wei has heard the word cursed thousands of times.Almost every day, she could hear the palace people whispering that there was a curse on her body.Because she is different from everyone.

Her arms were born deformed, and the two arms seemed to be folded, twisting from the inside out at an incredible angle.Although there is no abnormality in the bones of the two legs, they are weak and weak. When they are ten years old, they can't walk a step, and they can't even sit. They can only lie down all day long.Moreover, one pair of eyes is also blind.

Crippled in limbs and blind in both eyes.

Since the founding of Luoshui, the state has lasted for tens of thousands of years. It is not that there have been disabled and deformed children in the royal family, but she is the only one who has been so completely disabled.

What's even weirder is that there is a blood-red birthmark on her forehead, which looks like a scar left by an arrow piercing through her forehead.On the day she was born, Mrs. Wen took her out of the womb, and the blood-red birthmark was gushing blood, along the nose and mouth, all over her face and body.Several Wen women were frightened immediately, and died within a few days.Since then, all court ladies who came into contact with her will die.

Slowly, there was the curse of "those who are close must die".Rumors like this spread everywhere inside and outside the palace.It's just that they were all talking behind their backs, and it was the first time that they were said in front of Concubine Xian like today.

Concubine Xian immediately reprimanded: "Presumptuous! Those gossips are just to be listened to, and you dare to talk nonsense in front of the princess."

The court lady knelt on the ground and dared not say anything, Concubine Xian said: "I will deal with the matter of the fasting palace, you are not allowed to spread a word."

The palace people all agreed, but the empress of the Cangyu clan brought a group of people into the inner hall at this moment, and said with a sneer, "It's a good one not to be rumored! Shen Shan, His Majesty just grants you the right to be an assistant, isn't it?" Even if you are made a queen, do you still have this palace in your eyes?"

Because it was cold winter, the queen couldn't bear the cold, and fell ill in winter.Concubine Xian is in charge of the affairs of the harem.

The Empress had always disliked Concubine Xian, now when she walked to the bed, seeing Chang's twisted arms and empty blind eyes, she was even more disgusted, and said: "Don't drag this scourge out and beat him to death!"

As soon as she gave an order, two guards with knives came forward immediately, dragged Chang Wei from the bed, dragged him outside the hall, and threw him into the snow.Concubine Xian followed closely to the outside of the hall, and two internal officials were hitting Chang'an with torture sticks, she rushed forward and hugged Chang'an.

Seeing this, the internal officials dared not fight again.

"Chen Shan, you are so courageous!" the queen said angrily, "How dare you disobey my orders just because you are the birth mother of the crown prince? Your son has not ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, even if he becomes the emperor in the future, so will I The empress dowager is also a shoulder taller than you. Now you dare to blatantly rebel?"

Concubine Xian knelt on the snow, walked in front of the empress, and begged: "I dare not disobey my mother, I only ask my mother to save the life of the third princess. This ice and snow world is hard to endure, please show mercy and let her live on her own." Killing her is better than taking her life by force."

As soon as the queen heard this, she touched on the past, angrily pointed at the concubine Xian and said: "It's fine if you don't say that, but if you say this, you will be wronged. Fend and die? When she was born, you said that you will die by yourself." Said that she could not live for three or two years, and begged the Empress Dowager to spare her life. Fortunately, ten years have passed, and Luoshui has disasters every year. Floods in the first few years, followed by droughts, and this year will be tens of thousands of years In the unexpected snow disaster, one after another died in her palace. She was blind, and you couldn't be blind either, so you dare to keep her?"

Her words were furious, and when she said this, she suddenly said in a cold voice: "Chen Shan, I see that you have ulterior motives. You clearly know that she is a disaster but pleaded for her time and time again. When she hurts His Majesty, So that your son can ascend the throne as soon as possible, right? The crown prince is now in the Shenshan mansion, and your Shenshan family has a big plan!"

The queen suddenly got involved in the Shenshan mansion, and the concubine Xian hurriedly said: "The crown prince has been serving outside the government since the year before last, and has been patrolling the Cangyu mansion and Shenshan mansion on behalf of His Majesty. It is His Majesty's will that he is now in Shenshan mansion. The empress said this Isn't it dissatisfied with His Majesty's will?"

The queen immediately shouted angrily: "You are presumptuous!"

Concubine Xian lowered her head and continued: "The third princess is just a ten-year-old child who can't walk with her legs, can't hold her hands, and doesn't have any spiritual strength, how can she have the ability to harm Luoshui and His Majesty? The death of the maid in the fasting palace is indeed strange, but it is absolutely impossible to say that those who are close to her will die. Since she was born, she has been raised by the concubine, and the concubine has raised her to this day alone. One day she will not go to the fasting palace Lilai, if you don't get close to her for a day, if she is really in bad luck and is about to die, the concubine should die a thousand times. I also ask the empress to learn from her and spare her this experience."

But the queen didn't listen, she just said: "I am going to execute her today, what can you do?"

Concubine Xian also refused to back down and said: "In the past, the concubines asked the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother also showed mercy. No matter how bad the third princess is, she is still a descendant of the royal family. If the empress insists on executing the third princess, she should also ask the queen mother. It is."

Before the words were finished, the empress slapped Concubine Xian's face with a slap, and said, gnashing her teeth, "Bitch! How dare you use the empress dowager to suppress me?"
