The concubine is so charming

Chapter 216
Back in the main hall, the emperor repeatedly ordered people to help Chu Feiyan with tea, a stove, and cushions, and his appearance was clearly better than the previous grace.

Soon the commander of the imperial guards who went to search the Palace of the Seventh Prince came back and replied: "Your Majesty, I found something disgusting in the palace of the Seventh Prince, please take a look at it."

The emperor looked up, and saw a puppet covered with steel needles on the tray. The puppet had a hideous face, and its body seemed to have been cut into several sections and then put together again. Its eyes were embedded with two A bright red pigeon blood stone, at first glance, is extraordinarily weird.

Zhu Chong, the head of the internal servants, supported it with his hands, not daring to let the emperor touch him, for fear of being contaminated with some taboo.

"Your Majesty, the seventh prince's birth date is pasted on the back of this puppet. I asked someone to torture the palace servants who served His Highness the Seventh Prince. They all claimed that they didn't know about it. Among them, one of the servants threw himself into a well. After identification, it was He often pretends to be an old man, coaxing His Royal Highness the Seventh Prince to obey."

"Such an evil thing actually appeared in the palace!"

Su Yao watched, and suddenly exclaimed, she didn't let go of the hand that supported Chu Feiyan, and after entering the hall, she even took the opportunity to sit beside Chu Feiyan, taking care of him carefully and thoughtfully, ignoring him at all. Princess Rong almost cut off her eyes, at this moment, the doll was very close to her, so she could see it clearly at a glance.

"Please forgive me, Your Majesty. In order to take care of Master Chu's body, I searched for a lot of medical skills. Among them, I have seen some evil methods. They say that they use the technique of disgusting victory, which can hurt others' anger and make up for their own shortcomings. Among them, a method is recorded, which is to use seven dolls, wearing red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple clothes, and use seven-color gemstones as the dolls to open eyebrows, and record the horoscopes of the seven people's birthdays. The steel needle is deterrent, buried in the ground, the curse can take effect."

"What happens after the curse takes effect?"

"People who have been cursed will feel restless and lose their six spirits. They will become irritable and irritable for at least ten days or more than a month. Anger will damage the liver and damage the body's lifespan. There are records that say yes I have been cursed for a long time, and some people died in rage..."

Su Yao's face was full of fear, and he even wanted to take a look at Chu Feiyan after saying a few words, so as to draw strength from him, and tried his best not to tremble because of fear.

A vein flashed on the emperor's forehead: "Commander of the imperial guards, take people to search the palace, search the palace inside and out, and make sure there are no omissions."

"Yes, the minister takes orders."

The raised torches illuminate the entire harem.

Soon, various puppets were sent to the main hall.

Looking at the wooden figures placed on the ground, and looking at the steel needles shining with a cold light, everyone felt a cold air rise from their heels and hit their foreheads.

"Your Majesty, only six puppets were found, and the last purple one is missing."

"Searched all the harem?"

"Yes, except for the Jingyu Palace of the Concubine Zhen and the Ci'an Palace of the Empress Dowager, all other palaces have been searched."

The emperor turned to look at the queen mother: "Mother, the matter is very important. For your health, let someone search it, what do you think?"

"What the emperor said is right, we should check it out carefully." The queen mother replied tactfully.

"Well," the emperor was satisfied, "be careful when searching these two palaces, and don't damage anything."

"Yes."

Su Yao sat beside Chu Feiyan, using the cover of the table and sleeves, gently held his hand, and then wrote lightly on his palm: Master Xiang, how are you?
Chu Feiyan's brows and eyes were gentle, and he moved his palm lightly, holding her hand in his palm: "It's all right, don't worry.

Su Yao curled up her fingertips and gently scratched his palm twice.

Sensing that cat-like movement, Chu Feiyan's heart trembled, he couldn't help holding Su Yao's hand slightly, and his eyes warned: Don't mess around!

Su Yao smiled flatteringly, pushed the teacup towards Chu Feiyan, and opened the lid thoughtfully.

Concubine Rong wanted to make a fuss about her marriage, so she simply made it clear what she thought about Chu Feiyan, and let's see who doesn't have eyes, can Xiangye's woman move casually?

Su Yao thought about it and smiled smugly, but felt that the fox was pretending to be powerful.

The actions of the two of them attracted many people's attention, but no one dared to say a word, even the most rigid old minister of the Ministry of Rites turned his face away as if he didn't see it.

Everyone was anxiously waiting for the news, when a maid's voice of dissuasion suddenly came from the entrance of the main hall: "Concubine Zhen, your body is weak and you can't move easily, you'd better go to the side hall and have a good rest."

"No, let me go in, I want to see the emperor... the emperor..." Concubine Zhen's voice was sad, completely lacking her usual cool and noble appearance.

The emperor stood up: "My concubine, why are you here? Are you feeling better?"

Concubine Zhen was still wearing the blood-stained clothes. When she heard this, she swayed and knelt down straight to the emperor. Two lines of tears flowed down her cheeks: "It's all the concubines who are incompetent and failed to protect our children. ..."

The emperor shook his body, and his face instantly aged a lot: "Didn't you just say that the child is okay? Why now..."

At this moment, the commander of the imperial guard rushed back with the last purple puppet: "Report to the emperor, the last puppet has been found."

"Where did you find it? Whose birthday is engraved on it?"

"...It's in the Jingyu Palace of Concubine Zhen."

"what?"

Concubine Zhen's body trembled suddenly, she turned her head to look at the commander of the imperial guards, raised her hand to hold the doll in her hand, turned it over and saw the birth date on it, and immediately exclaimed: "Your Majesty, on this... It says the concubine's date of birth..."

"Your Majesty, did the concubine's child disappear because of these people? Did the curse take effect? ​​Then why shouldn't it be applied to the concubine, and my poor child should be born to suffer for the mother?" Concubine Zhen cried bitterly. Sad and desolate, the tears flowed into strings, and soon wet her skirt.

"Investigate, this matter has to be thoroughly investigated to the end, I want to see who is so audacious and put his idea on my head!" The emperor was furious, and ordered directly in a cold voice.

"This... Your Majesty, look, is the fabric on this doll..." Zhu Chong, the head servant, suddenly asked.

"Cloth?" The emperor glanced at it, "What's wrong with the fabric?"

"This cloth is a tribute, and judging by its appearance, it is a new tribute from the Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau this year. Because it has developed a new cloth dyeing technique, the color of the cloth is unusually bright, and the servant is particularly impressed. As long as people investigate It should not be difficult to find clues by looking at the booklet of cloth rewards." Zhu Chong replied.

"Okay, let the Secretary of Internal Affairs be in charge, and let him come to see you immediately with the account book of the imperial gift." The art of disgusting victory has always been unpredictable. If he doesn't find out who is behind the scenes today, he will definitely have trouble sleeping and eating.

"Yes."
