The concubine Zhang Jia hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, a noble concubine would never do such a thing. I also ask the emperor to order a search of the apse, and I must return the noble concubine's innocence!"

Wen Xi frowned, why did Zhang Jia's words seem to be flattering Liu since he came in? !One sings the red face and the other sings the bad face, the purpose is just to provoke Kangxi to order a search!Wen Xi suddenly thought, wasn't Mrs. Zhang Jia originally from Defei Palace? !It's just that she has been peaceful and quiet for several years, which made Wen Xi feel relieved slowly.Did Concubine De's layout start shortly after she entered the palace? !In that case, Zhang Jia's hiding is too good!When she is not favored, she is very peaceful, and when she is favored, she is not arrogant at all!Such a person will make people no longer wary sooner or later as time goes by!

Kangxi commanded Liang Jiugong in a deep voice: "Take a few people and just search the flower beds in the apse."

"Whoo!"

Zhang Jia immediately showed a smile and said: "I believe that the concubine will never do such a thing!"

Liu promised then snorted coldly: "Know people, know face, but don't know heart!"

"Shut up!" Kangxi yelled angrily, with a pair of Danfeng pupils showing anger that couldn't be concealed.

Liu promised to tremble, and lowered his head shivering.

There are not many flower beds in the apse, and within half an hour, Liang Jiugong brought up a puppet covered in mud.The doll seems to be made of high-quality rosewood wood, but it is very crudely carved, with a strip of white silk and satin on it, and the six characters "Gui Chou Ding Si Bing Xu" written in lower letters, which are the birth date of the Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang .And the puppet is full of dense needles.It was appalling.

There was silence in the hall for a while.

Liu Ying showed joy, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, this is the ironclad proof! The noble concubine used the witchcraft doll to suppress the empress dowager, the ironclad proof is as strong as a mountain!"

Zhang Jia immediately burst into tears, and hastily kowtowed and begged, "Your Majesty! The noble concubine must have been confused for a while! Please forgive me!"

Wen Xi sneered in her heart, she was about to remember this witchcraft doll of unknown origin so soon on her head, Wen Xi's face was still calm, she looked at Kangxi calmly, and suddenly smiled softly: "The word of the concubine. I can't be more clear, such an elegant lower script with hairpin flowers is not something a concubine can write!"

Kangxi looked at the writing on it carefully, then nodded and said: "I can recognize it, it's definitely not your handwriting!" After saying that, even he himself felt relieved.

Liu promised to sneer: "How can the concubine do it herself for such a small matter? There are palace maids and eunuchs under the concubine's orders!"

Wen Xi smiled and said: "The eunuchs are all illiterate. It would be nice if the court ladies could know some of their own names! Qing Lan, who is the most literate around me, can only be regarded as regular characters!" Looking casually at Liu Shi Dao, "I remember that Liu Xu was born in a family of poems and books. He must have good handwriting, right?!"

Kangxi's suspicious eyes suddenly fell on Mrs. Liu, and said, "I remember, your father seems to be a Jinshi!"

Liu promised to look fearless.Said: "How about the concubine's handwriting, Lord Bu has seen it. You can testify for the concubine!"

Mrs. Zhao Jia, a cloth nobleman, rushed over, looked at it carefully, and said, "Look, it actually looks like what Liu promised."

When Zhao Jia said that, Kangxi's Danfeng eyes narrowed immediately, and the long and narrow pupils revealed a murderous intent.

Liu promised angrily and said: "You can see clearly, this lowercase script has a very light hook. It still has the charm of Dong Qichang! Where is my handwriting like this?!" Then he kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, if you don't believe me You can ask someone to fetch the Buddhist scriptures copied in the concubine's house, and compare them to know!"

Kangxi hummed and signaled Liang Jiugong to pick it up.

Bu Guiren lowered his head halfway, and muttered to himself, "It does look similar??"

Liu promised to hold his breath in his heart and couldn't express it, so he could only stare at Zhao Jiashi angrily.

Liu promised to live with Bugui in the Yi'an Hall of the Xibei Hall, which is very close to the main hall. Liang Jiugong took the Buddhist scriptures copied by Liu in a short time. It was a big thick volume. Kangxi opened it casually and put it aside. .

The nobleman looked at them for comparison and said, "They are all horizontal and vertical, don't they look alike?"

Wen Xi couldn't laugh or cry at once, Zhao Jiashi can still make people laugh at such a time!Liu's handwriting has obvious traces of willow script, and the vertical part is slightly longer than that of ordinary people. The characteristics are very obvious, and it is different from the handwriting on puppets at a glance.Bu Guiren is an aunt who was born in the Eight Banners of Manchuria. She doesn't understand Sinology, and she can't even write Chinese characters very well. Naturally, she doesn't know what those characters are.

Mrs. Liu kowtowed again: "Your Majesty, this maidservant and concubine saw with her own eyes that the person who buried the witch doll sneaked into the main hall of the noble concubine and returned to her life! Please tell me the emperor's lesson!"

Kangxi's eyes suddenly became complicated, looked at Wen Xi, and asked, "Did you do it?"

Wen Xi suddenly became angry. Does he still have doubts about such a flawed frame-up?Then he got up, walked to Kangxi, and said seriously: "I remember that the emperor asked similar questions before, and my answer today is the same as in the past! The answer is not in my mouth, but in the emperor's heart!" Hua Dian caught fire, and what happened after Tong Jia's death.It's just that what happened back then was planned by Wen Xi, but now it's an innocent injustice, so the natural tone is even more aggressive.

Liu promised with a look of anger on his face, and said: "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is critically ill, and it is all caused by this thing! Please also consider the health of the Empress Dowager Phoenix, and severely punish the chief culprit!"

Wen Xi couldn't help but sneered, and said: "The reason why the empress dowager fell ill, the emperor knows very well."

Kangxi was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Although that thing is harmful, it usually takes two or three years to have an accident???" - the meaning of the words, do you really think it is harmed by witchcraft? !

Wen Xi gritted her teeth, raised her head, looked straight at Kangxi without fear, and asked sharply: "Does the emperor mean to doubt the concubine?!"

Kangxi looked at the witchcraft doll, and he could not hear any joy or anger in his tone: "I will declare to the outside world that you occasionally feel cold and unwell, and it is not suitable to serve the Empress Dowager. I will ask someone to investigate this matter secretly, before the truth comes out. , don't go out for now."

A strong sneer suddenly appeared on Wen Xi's face, and he said, "Did the emperor order the concubines to restrain their feet?"

Kangxi did not answer, but glanced at Bu Guiren, Liu Ying, and Concubine Zhang Jia, and said, "The three of you are not allowed to leave Chengqian Palace either! If there is even the slightest rumor, I will take the three of you." head!"

"Yes! Maid and concubine obey the order!" The three said in unison, not daring to disobey at all.

Kangxi got up and walked out of the hall, while ordering: "Liang Jiugong, send that thing to Baohua Hall for disposal."

Wen Xi gritted her teeth, but snatched the puppet doll from Liang Jiugong's body, and said loudly: "The matter of Wugu Nightmare Town is pure nonsense! I dare to guarantee my life, this thing can't harm anyone at all! If the emperor If you don’t believe me, just ask people to write a dozen or so concubines with their birth dates! We’ll know if the concubines will be killed by Nightmare!”

Kangxi stopped suddenly, turned around and said angrily: "Stop talking nonsense!"

Wen Xi's tone became more intense and high-spirited: "Try it and you will know whether the concubine is talking nonsense! Song Er, go get the pen and ink right away! I want to see what happens if I write my birthday on the puppet." Sample?!"

Kangxi was full of anger, strode back, snatched the witchcraft doll from Wen Xi's hand, and said angrily: "It's just to ground you! Where did you get so angry?!"

Wen Xi went up against the wind: "Anyone who gets splashed with dirty water will be furious, right?! The concubine is just a normal reaction!"

At this time, Mother Jiang, the wet nurse in the East Side Hall, was so anxious that she reported, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Elder Brother Ten has a sudden high fever!"

Kangxi was just getting annoyed, so the words that came out of his mouth were also full of anger: "Then move Yin'er to elder brother's house! Don't stay here and make the noble concubine sick!"

Mother Jiang was stunned on the spot, unable to speak, "But, but—" Brothers only moved into Brother's house when they were six years old, and the young princes followed their biological mothers or adoptive mothers, and none of them were still in their infancy. Just send it to my brother's office.

"Hurry up!—" Kangxi roared angrily.

Jiang Nanny was trembling all over, and was so forced by the seemingly substantive momentum that she couldn't speak, she hurriedly kowtowed: "Hey!"

Wen Xi bit her lip, brother ten was still taken away?I still remember when Concubine De concubine said she would fight her for the last round, Wen Xi thought at the time that Wu Ya would use her death to make Kangxi suspicious, but only now did she realize that witchcraft blame is her last stand!This Wu Ya clan, even after death, no one can live in peace!But this is also a matter of course. If you are dying, you will pull a back, not to mention that this back is still a sworn enemy?If it's Wen Xi, I'm afraid they will bite even harder!

Kangxi tried his best to suppress his anger, and said: "You take a good rest, stay in Chengqian Palace in peace, and don't go out for half a step!"

Xiao Zhuang is seriously ill, Concubine De has not passed her first seven days, she was grounded at such a juncture, anyone would think about it, right?Wen Xi gritted her silver teeth, and looked at this man angrily, "Does the emperor really not believe in concubines?"

Kangxi didn't answer Wen Xi's question, but said: "You only need to follow my will, and you don't need to ask or think too much about other things!" After speaking, he ignored Wen Xi and left Chengqian Palace with strides .

After Kangxi left, Bu Guiren, Concubine Zhang Jia, and Liu Xu who were kneeling on the ground dared to get up. They all knelt for a long time, especially Liu Shi, who rubbed his aching knee, but hurriedly shrank behind Bu Guiren .

Because Wen Xi was staring at her closely, then his eyes fell on Zhao Jiashi again, and he tried to be as kind as possible and said: "Bu Guiren, this matter has nothing to do with you, you can go back first."

Involved in the matter of witchcraft, Bu Guiren was eager to win the far away, so he hurriedly said: "Yes, the concubine is resigning."

Zhang Jia also hastily saluted and said goodbye: "The maid and concubine also stepped down first."

"Ben Gong said you can leave?!" Wen Xi's voice was harsh immediately, this Zhang Jia's is more hateful than Liu's, and he looks like a good person. On the surface, he is against Liu's tune, maybe she is the leader!As the saying goes, a dog that bites does not bark. It looks like a little sheep on weekdays. It looks completely harmless to humans and animals. At critical moments, it hides a needle in the cotton and stabs you hard in the back!It's too late to prevent it! (To be continued.
