Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 531 The Murderer (1)
Outside the front hall of Yongning Palace, Concubine Li was admiring the scenery in the courtyard, her expression was very relaxed.

Seeing Caixing coming out, he hurriedly showed a friendly smile and said, "Miss Caixing, is the imperial concubine free to see me today?"

Caixing shook her head apologetically, and said, "Miss Li, please go back. Your Majesty is not feeling well and doesn't want to see guests."

Concubine Li was only a little disappointed when she heard the words, but she didn't show any indignation, but said with a trace of worry: "In this case, let the empress take good care of her illness, and I will visit the sister of the imperial concubine again in a few days."

After finishing speaking, he took the people back without further entanglement.

"Sister Caixing, I think this concubine Li has changed her ways. Not only is she very respectful to her, but she also cares about her very much. She even comes to Yongning Palace to visit her every day. Why doesn't she want to see her?" The little eunuch asked curiously.

Caixing rolled his eyes at him, and snorted softly: "What do you know? Your Majesty doesn't want to see her, so there is a reason why you don't want to see her. Your Majesty must have far-reaching views than us. Besides, there are many people who want to curry favor with Your Majesty. Do all those who want to curry favor with the empress want the empress to treat them differently? Let me tell you, she has no good intentions at all. "

As she said that, she was about to go in, and just after taking half a step, she turned around again and said to the little eunuch: "Put away your sympathy, I warn you, in this Yongning Palace, anyone who questions You can't question your empress, otherwise, you will get out of this Yongning Palace. If it weren't for your good luck, you were selected to be on duty in Yongning Palace, do you think you can live to this day? I'm afraid that you would have been eaten by others and there will be no scum left gone."

After Caixing finished speaking, she turned away and left, leaving only a little eunuch standing there, looking like she was about to cry or not.

After Concubine Li walked out of the gate of Yongning Palace, she stopped and looked back, her eyes were stern, and the sneer on her lips disappeared.

Originally, she wanted to make the imperial concubine proud for another two days, but now, she changed her mind, and she no longer wanted to see her superior face.

All the humiliation she has received from the imperial concubine, she will firmly remember in her heart, and she will definitely return it ten times and a hundred times in the future.

After returning to Chuxiu Palace, Concubine Li immediately said to Nanny Xia: "Mommy, I can't wait any longer, you can cast spells tonight!"

Madam Xia didn't ask why, but said respectfully: "Yes, I will obey your mother's orders."

Concubine Li nodded in satisfaction, and became more and more satisfied with Nanny Xia, and asked, "Mommy, that puppet..."

"Your Majesty, don't worry, the arrangements have already been made." Madam Xia bowed and said, "Just activate the spell at night."

"Are you sure it's safe?" Li Pin's excited face was a little distorted.

Madam Xia smiled and said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, make sure everything is safe. After tonight, the harem will be your Majesty's world."

It was late at night, and the entire harem fell into silence. Except for the maids, eunuchs and guards who had to be on duty, almost everyone had already fallen asleep.

In the back bedroom of Yongning Palace, there was a sudden scream, Su Wan sat up from the bed all of a sudden, and woke up Emperor Xian De who was sleeping next to her.

"Wan'er, what's the matter? Did you have a nightmare?" Emperor Xian De also sat up, looked at her and said.

There are two lampstands standing beside the bed, and on the lampstands are hung an octagonal palace lantern with dragon and phoenix, so even though it is late at night, through the bed curtain, there is still a faint light, and you can see the expression of the other party.

However, Su Wan seemed not to have heard Emperor Xian De's words, her expression was dull, and her eyes were staring ahead blankly, looking very strange.

"Wan'er—"

Emperor Xiande yelled again, and found that Su Wan still didn't respond, she was in a daze, as if she had lost her mind, thinking of her guess before, she suddenly felt extremely flustered.

He stretched out his hand cautiously, as if touching something fragile, and lightly touched Su Wan's cheek.

The next moment, Su Wan's body suddenly swayed, and she fell backwards without warning.

Emperor Xian De didn't care about anything else, he directly stretched out his arms to embrace her, hugged her in his arms, and shouted anxiously: "Wan'er... Wan'er..."

But Su Wan didn't respond at all to this, her eyes were closed tightly, obviously she had lost consciousness.

"Come on, come on!" Emperor Xian De shouted while pressing on Su Wan's crowd.

Before the words were finished, the maid and eunuch on duty had already knelt by the bed.

They had heard the movement just now, and had been waiting outside for a long time, but His Majesty didn't call for anyone, so they didn't dare to go in.

"Hurry up and ask the imperial physician, and then send someone to Dajue Temple to see if Chan Master Tong has come back. If Chan Master Tong has not returned, please ask Master Abbot to come over." Emperor Xian De ordered immediately.

Because of Emperor Xiande's series of orders, the originally quiet palace started to operate quickly like a huge machine, and it also awakened countless people from their slumber. Almost everyone lost their sleepiness and ordered people to inquire about the news.

The imperial envoy, court judge, and imperial physicians arrived soon.

After hastily saluting, he stepped forward to treat the imperial concubine.

"How is it?" Imperial Physician Wang was the first to diagnose and treat, and Emperor Xian De asked impatiently just after taking the pulse.

"Your Majesty, the imperial concubine is fine, it's just...just..." Imperial Physician Wang found it difficult to speak.

"Just what? Tell me quickly!" Emperor Xian De's face darkened, and he urged in a cold voice, he threw all the gentlemanly demeanor and courteous corporals to Java.

"Your Majesty, she just fell asleep." Seeing the Emperor getting angry, Doctor Wang couldn't help shaking his body, and said directly.

"What? Asleep? Are you kidding me?" Emperor Xian De seemed to be annoyed by this diagnosis, almost squeezed out a few words from his teeth, looking at him with extremely dangerous eyes, as if wanting Choose people and eat them.

"The old minister dare not!" Imperial Physician Wang immediately knelt down and said tremblingly, "Your Majesty, the old minister guarantees with his life that the empress is really healthy, but I don't know why the empress fell into a coma."

"Next!" Emperor Xiande ignored him, and asked others to take Su Wan's pulse one by one. In the end, they all came to the same conclusion, and they all knelt on the ground, saying that they were incompetent and could not see what happened to the imperial concubine. sick.

In fact, it’s not that the imperial doctors are unaware of it. Most of them are well-informed and have seen everything. It’s just witchcraft and curse techniques that have been tabooed by the royal family for generations. , Unless they are forced to, they dare not open their mouths to mention these things casually.

When Emperor Xian De heard their diagnosis, his heart suddenly turned cold.

Regarding Wan'er's situation, he already had a premonition in his heart.Because judging from Wan'er's performance, it doesn't seem to be suffering from some kind of disease, but rather like being touched by something unclean and being casted by someone. Therefore, at the beginning, he asked someone to invite a doctor Zen Master, just still had a little luck in his heart, thinking that maybe he was thinking too much.
