Chapter 400 Seeing Red
Yun Jingde and Zhao Pingming looked at each other, not understanding why this happened, no matter how many times they changed the spring silkworms and mulberry leaves, no matter how fresh and vigorous those spring silkworms were, as long as Concubine Shu touched them, they would die!

The death of a silkworm is almost an instant scene, which cannot be explained, there is no explanation!

After the wives gasped, the way they looked at Concubine Shu changed.how so?The spring silkworms touched by other people are fine, but once touched by Concubine Shu, the spring silkworms die.

Could it be that God Si Can was angry, that's why it happened?Could it be that Concubine Shu offended the God Si Can, or that God Si Can was dissatisfied with Concubine Shu?Scenes appeared in front of their eyes, and it was their turn not to think too much!

Concubine Shu trembled even more, her dignified face turned pale.God Si Can was furious... Spring Silkworm died... ominous...

All kinds of words were intertwined in her mind, and the extreme panic made her mind go blank for a short time, and she couldn't react at all.

How to react?She has no idea what's going on!

Yun Jingde and Zhao Pingming knew that the matter in front of them was too serious to be controlled by them.Now, they can only report to the chief officials of Taichang Temple and the Ministry of Rites.

Immediately, one of them took the wives to another place, and the other hurriedly reported the matter.

Taichangqing Han Shiyuan and Minister of Rites Zhang Mingde frowned after hearing this.Especially Zhang Mingde, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, his heart tightened.

He took Fan Taiyan's position, and the time was short.In addition to the New Year's Etiquette, this time the suburban sacrifice and the ceremony of enjoying the silkworms and kissing the mulberry are the first grand ceremonies he presided over.He concentrated all his energy on the suburban festival, but he didn't expect that there would be problems in the simplest ceremony of enjoying silkworms and kissing mulberry.

He and Han Shiyuan ran to the place where silkworms were enjoyed, and when they saw the plaque of dead silkworms, they were also stunned.Seeing it with their own eyes, they knew how serious the situation was!

According to what Yun Jingde and Zhao Pingming said, Concubine Shu is like being poisoned, as long as she feeds spring silkworms, these silkworms will definitely die.

Enjoying silkworms and kissing mulberry is a national event. There is a folk saying that when the silkworm god is dissatisfied with a woman, he will let all the silkworms raised by the woman die, and the woman will also be an unlucky person.This is a legend, designed to make the common people pay close attention to silkworms and mulberry, it is just a warning.

Now, something unexplainable had happened, which somehow made them think it was more than just a cautionary tale.

Could it be that concubine Shu is really an unlucky person?Otherwise, spring silkworms are strong and mulberry leaves are good, and others will be fine if they touch them, so why is it that concubine Shu dies when she touches them?

"Go and investigate! Call the officials of the Shanglin Department! Ask where these spring silkworms and mulberry leaves come from; in addition, let people check if there is any problem with Concubine Shu's clothes and accessories, and report this matter to the emperor!" Han Shiyuan said.

For some reason, he thought of the ominous omen about the queen earlier.Could it be that the high-ranking concubines in Dading's harem are all ominous in one way or another?
Han Shiyuan's granddaughter, Han Wu, was burned to death as an evildoer. He was too aware of the influence of such omens and rumors.What he was worried about was whether the death of Spring Silkworm this time would cause an uproar in the country like the empress incident last time?

"Master Han, what do you think of this?" Zhang Mingde asked.He didn't know how to express the worry in his heart, and he always felt that this matter would cause another bloodbath.

Even if all the officials in the Ministry of Rituals are doing their duty, but the ceremony of enjoying silkworms and mulberry was forced to terminate, how can the Ministry of Rites stay out of such a big matter?
If nothing can be found, how will things go?

The silkworm kissing ceremony cannot be carried out, such a big event has long been covered by the officials' wives.Although these wives are all above rank five, they still have the nature of gossip.

When Emperor Chongde wanted to take officials to Xishan to appreciate pear blossoms, news of Concubine Shu reached his ears.Accompanying this incident, of course, was the comment that Concubine Shu had offended the God Si Can and was an ominous person.

If there is anything more dignified than a human emperor, then of course it is the gods in the sky.The Sican God is one of the gods, and mortals enjoy offering sacrifices to show their respect. Now that Concubine Shu has offended him, this...

After hearing this, Emperor Chongde looked as usual, but the slight pause in his footsteps still revealed his inner emotions.

After ordering Pei Gongfu and Zheng Shiyong to take the officials to Xishan, Emperor Chongde took Chang Kang to visit Concubine Shu. ——Mainly, I still want to know what happened at the silkworm kissing ceremony!

The place where Concubine Shu is located is one of the temporary rooms at the foot of the West Mountain.As soon as he reached the door, he heard a flurry of voices, interspersed with "I'm red, I'm red" "How can this be, don't you understand the monthly letter from the empress? No wonder the silkworms will die! "

When Emperor Chongde heard it, he knew what was going on.Seeing Hong, it turned out that it was Concubine Shu's monthly letter.

In this era, it is generally believed that a woman's monthly letter is a very mysterious thing.Si Tiantai also has unwritten rules, but women who come to Yuexin are not suitable to participate in grand ceremonies and sacrifices. They think that seeing popularity is unlucky and will offend the gods.

This is completely unfounded, but Dading still did it, especially for big festivals such as suburban festivals and enjoying silkworms and kissing mulberry, and there should be no women who appear in Yuexin.

Earlier, Si Tiantai asked Concubine Shu Yuexin's life.The answer given by Yonghe Palace is that Concubine Shu's monthly letter will definitely not be in these few days, and Tong Shi said the same.

However, just now, after those spring silkworms died, Concubine Shu felt a dull pain in her lower abdomen, and then the nanny discovered that Concubine Shu's monthly letter had arrived!

This monthly letter came so suddenly, and it was so inappropriate!

During the silkworm kissing mulberry ceremony, Concubine Shu came to the moon letter, no wonder the spring silkworm would die, this is...offending the gods!

Concubine Shu was shocked again when she saw the blood on her lower body.First, the spring silkworm died, and then it became popular. These two things, in her opinion, were absolutely impossible, but they just happened!

What made her scalp tingle even more was the ominous words.Now, Xie Zi is secluded in the Kunning Palace because of the word "unlucky". Once the empress is touched with these two words, she will not be able to escape her downfall.What would happen if she got on it?

Just thinking about it made Concubine Shu break out in a cold sweat.When she looked up and saw Emperor Chongde's eyes, her teeth trembled even more, and she couldn't even speak.

Emperor Chongde didn't ask anything, didn't care about her, didn't care about her, didn't scold her harshly, but just looked at her so calmly, as if...he didn't see anything in his eyes!

Concubine Shu was in front of him, as if she didn't exist.

Concubine Shu's heart jumped into her throat, what was waiting for her?
