Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 535 Waiting (3)
"Father—"

Emperor Xian De embraced them with a gentle expression.

"Eh? Concubine mother hasn't woken up yet?" Yuanyuan looked at Su Wan who was "sleeping", and asked curiously. Then, she shaved her face with her small hands and said, "Concubine mother is ashamed, why don't you be ashamed?" Yuanyuan got up late, and Concubine Mu is a lazy pig."

Tuantuan also leaned over to look at Su Wan curiously, seeing that the concubine mother hadn't woken up, she suddenly rolled her eyes, let out a smirk, and reached out to catch her nose.

"round and round--"

However, as soon as he pinched Su Wan's nose, Emperor Xian De hurriedly stopped him.

"Don't disturb your concubine's rest."

Although Tuantuan was taken aback, he reluctantly withdrew his little hand and said, "Okay!"

Afterwards, he raised his head again and asked Emperor Xian De curiously: "Father, why is Mother and Concubine still awake?"

Emperor Xian De touched his little head, and said in a soft voice: "Your concubine mother is tired, so she needs to sleep for a while, please don't disturb her."

Both Tuantuan and Yuanyuan nodded obediently, and Yuanyuan even said: "Father, we will not disturb Concubine Mother, let Concubine Mother rest well."

"Me too." Tuantuan agreed.

"Good!" Emperor Xian De finally showed a smile.

After seeing Su Wan, Emperor Xian De asked them to take them down for breakfast.

He didn't go to court, nor did he deal with government affairs, he just kept guarding Su Wan.

The harem was searched last night. Everyone in the harem was in danger, and no one dared to come out and jump around. They all huddled in their nests, like a quail.

That morning, Yang Yong presented Concubine Li's confession.

After reading it, Emperor Xian De sneered and said: "As expected, I did not wrong her."

After Concubine Li confessed, all the maids and eunuchs who served Concubine Li, as well as her natal Cao's family, were all sent to Jinyiwei Prison.

No one dared to intercede for the Cao family, and everyone even avoided it, wishing to separate themselves from the Cao family.

Who got them involved in the witchcraft case!Whoever is involved will die.

According to Concubine Li's confession, a wooden box was dug out under the pear tree in the yard, and inside it was a paulownia doll with the life and birth date of the imperial concubine written on it.

Compared with the paulownia puppet found in Chuxiu Palace, this puppet is obviously much more complete, and the puppet's appearance is even three points similar to that of the imperial concubine.

After Emperor Xiande saw it, his eyes were tearing apart, his body trembled slightly, anger and murderous intent rolled endlessly in his chest, his expression was gloomy, making him look more terrifying than a demon.

Everyone knelt down and remained silent.

After an unknown amount of time, Yang Yong still asked cautiously, "Your Majesty, do you want to destroy this thing?"

Emperor Xian De suppressed the killing intent in his chest, he gave him a cold sideways look, and said: "Don't act rashly, what if you hurt the imperial concubine? Put it away first, and wait for Chan Master Tong to come."

"Yes, it's because the maidservant didn't think carefully." Yang Yong immediately bowed and said, after speaking, he hesitated to speak on his face.

Seeing this, Emperor Xian De asked: "What else is there?"

In fact, Yang Yong wanted to say that the witchcraft case might not be that simple, because Concubine Li couldn't figure out many things, and even looked like she was being used by someone. The real mastermind behind the scenes was someone else. The concubine is certainly not innocent.

However, seeing the exhaustion and worry on His Majesty's brow, he swallowed the words again.What His Majesty is most concerned about now is whether the Empress can wake up, or not to bother His Majesty with this matter, and it will not be too late when he finds out a result later.

When the time comes, maybe the imperial concubine will wake up, and His Majesty will be free to settle the matter.

And he felt that the emperor may not be clear about the tricks in it, but he doesn't have the energy to think about it now, otherwise, His Majesty would not let him continue to interrogate Huixin.

His Majesty has already found a punching bag, and is not in a hurry to find a second one for now.

His Majesty has dealt with Concubine Li and the Cao family. I believe the person behind him will also heave a sigh of relief. Maybe there will be some flaws. He can investigate slowly so as not to startle the snake.

Thinking of this, Yang Yong shook his head slightly, and bid farewell to Emperor Xian De.

Things were exactly as Yang Yong had expected. After Yang Cairen knew that Concubine Li and the Cao family had been arrested, the tension in his heart finally relaxed. He thought that he was in no danger, so he began to take a bath, rinse his mouth, and Burning incense in front of the Buddha statue in the Small Buddha Hall, kneeling and clasping hands together, chanting the rebirth mantra for Mammy Xia.

That afternoon, Master Kong, the abbot of Dajue Temple, entered the palace.

Abbot Liao Kong's eyebrows and beard were all white, and his face also had deep wrinkles. He looked very old, but his eyes were very bright without any cloudiness.He is also an eminent monk who has attained the Tao, otherwise, he would not be able to be the abbot of Dajue Temple, but he is not as magical as Chan Master Tong.

"Poor monk Liaokong has seen His Majesty." After seeing Emperor Xiande, Abbot Liaokong clasped his hands together and saluted Emperor Xiande.

There is the emperor's palace in Dajue Temple, and even Emperor Xiande went there to escape the summer heat a few years ago, so he is very familiar with Abbot Kong, so he said: "Master Abbot, please forgive me. The imperial concubine was under the spell of witchcraft." technique, and I hope the master can save her."

"Amitabha, saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. The poor monk is naturally obliged to do so." Abbot Liao Kong said, "Besides, the poor monk has long heard what the imperial concubine did. He knows that the imperial concubine is a bodhisattva Great good man, how can the poor monk let him go?"

"I first thanked the master on behalf of the imperial concubine." Emperor Xiande actually got up, clasped his hands together, and saluted the abbot, which is enough to see the gratitude in his heart.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the poor monk will do his best. Your Majesty has great merits and virtues in her body, and with the blessing of Your Majesty's dragon prestige, she will surely make good fortune in disasters, and turn disasters into good luck." Abbot Liao Kong said with a smile.

Regardless of whether Abbot Liaokong spoke the truth or flattered him, Emperor Xiande really felt much more at ease after hearing his words, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

After the two finished speaking, Abbot Liaokong followed Emperor Xiande into the Xishao Room.

"Huh?" Upon seeing Su Wan, Abbot Chang Kong's expression changed, and there was a trace of doubt, or shock and surprise in his eyes.

"Why, is there any problem?" Emperor Xian De immediately asked nervously upon seeing this.

Abbot Liao Kong frowned slightly, and said, "It shouldn't be, what is going on?"

Emperor Xian De frowned slightly when he heard the words, and his voice became weaker, and asked: "Master, what happened to my imperial concubine? Could it be that even Master Fang Zhang couldn't wake her up?"

"Amitabha." Abbot Liaokong proclaimed the Buddha's name, with a trace of regret, he sighed slightly and said: "Your Majesty, the soul of the empress is not in her body."
