Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 108 Witch Gu
Xiaokui recalled what she saw, and stretched out her hand to draw, with her index fingers one inch apart, she said, "It's a puppet of this size, with a torso and head made of linen, stuffed with cotton seams, The body is covered with a cloth-like material made of large green silk cloth, and bright red thin cloth strips are tied around the doll's neck with a tight knot."

Xia Zijin frowned, this kind of weird doll was buried in the soil, and it was so sneaky, what was Liu Xianxian going to do?
Before she could think about it, Xiaokui had already solved the doubts in her mind: "I put that doll in my hand, and I just thought it was ugly. I wanted to turn it over to see what kind of tricks it was. Suddenly something pricked my fingers. There was a sharp pain. The servant carefully took it in front of her eyes and opened her eyes wide to look at the position touched by her finger just now, only to find that there was a thin needle inserted in the fabric! And there was more than one needle. There are more than a dozen thin needles inserted into the body!"

Xiaokui caressed her chest. Fortunately, she didn't grasp it too hard, otherwise it would have hurt to death with so many needles stuck into her palm.

"Puppet doll with needles..." Xia Zijin read a sentence, thoughts flowed in his eyes, and he quickly figured out what it meant.

"Did you take the puppet's clothes off to see if there is anything inside?"

Xiaokui chick nodded like pecking at rice, and was about to say this crucial point, with anger and disbelief on her face: "The servant opened the clothes of the doll and saw a piece of yellow paper written on it inside. A long note was written in red cinnabar ink on it. Thanks to the princess who urged the slaves to learn characters, I can recognize the content on the yellow paper today. Those words turned out to be the princess's birthday! It was not made by Zha Xiaoren. Cursed thing!"

"Oh, sure enough." Xia Zijin smiled coldly.

The art of witchcraft has never ceased since ancient times. From the southern border, many people always use this vicious thing as a means to deal with jealous people.I sew the puppet with my own hands, read the name that I hate in every stitch, and then use my fingertip blood mixed with cinnabar to write down the birth date of the person who wants to cast a curse, and do the same thing that I expect to happen to the host It will be effective if it is implemented on a wooden puppet, buried in the soil for ninety-nine or eighty-one days, and praying devoutly every day.

"The body is made of linen and the silk is used to make the clothes. Liu Xianxian is a curse for my expensive watch and life. Not to mention the dozen needles on my body and the red cloth tied around my neck. Both are curses for me to die." Xia Zi Jin clicked his tongue twice, a little funny, and didn't take this vicious curse to heart.

Xiaokui opened her mouth wide in surprise and anger, more anxious than she was, pulled her sleeves and hurriedly said: "Princess...you are the one who cursed, how can you still laugh! If you don't destroy the things as soon as possible, let the If it works, what should I do... This Liu Xianxian is full of bad water, let's tell Mrs. Liu and them!"

"This princess is not afraid. What are you anxious about, girl? The curse of witchcraft is nonsense. I don't know who came up with such a vicious idea for those concubines who fought to the death in the harem thousands of years ago in the southern border palace. The first witch puppet was used to curse the most favored concubine of the king of Southern Xinjiang. As a result, the concubine had asthma and died after a few months. Here we are."

Xia Zijin smiled and said, she had already died once, so why would she be afraid that this little trick would fail? If it was really useful, she would have cursed Lin Runyu and Bai Pingting tens of millions of times in her previous life.

"But since she can afford it, she has to afford it. Did you put the things back?"

Xiaokui nodded and said, "It's all buried as it should be. The maidservant will tell the princess as soon as she finds out. No one knows yet."

"Very good." Xia Zijin was very satisfied with Xiaokui's actions, and Gogou gestured to her to listen to her.

Xiaokui listened closely to Xia Zijin's order with her ears perked up, she was taken aback for a moment, then she grinned and nodded repeatedly, her pupils as clear as amber glistened.

"Let's do it." Xia Zijin said softly.

Xiaokui responded, turned around and hurriedly went to do it.

Xia Zijin sat down slowly in front of the bronze mirror, combed her long hair and arranged her hair into a bun, called the girl in the mansion to bring hot water to wash, and put on makeup and thrush slowly, just waiting for the time to start a good show.

The sun shines through the clouds and shines on the bricks and tiles of the eaves, illuminating every dark corner, forming mottled tree shadows, and sprinkled in the house.

The servants of the Liu family were already busy with their own work at this time. In the middle of the yard, there were three or two people carrying brooms and small buckets to sprinkle water and sweep the dust, and there were maidservants passing by in the aisle.

A petite servant girl in pink clothes poked her head in from the door, and her round face was Xiao Shu, the maid beside Mrs. Liu.

"Greetings to the princess, the breakfast in the mansion is ready, the old lady invites you to eat it together!"

The time was just right, Xia Zijin nodded, adjusted her makeup and got up to go, followed Xiaoshu's footsteps and walked into the dining room under the sunshine all over the road.

Mrs. Liu was sitting on the main seat and talking to Liu Anqi, while Qin's family was spreading the maidservant's cloth and vegetables to serve porridge, and there were plates of steaming breakfast on the mahogany round table, and the sweet smell could be smelled right at the door.

"Cousin, come and have dinner. Grandmother ordered someone to make your favorite crystal shrimp dumplings and rose cake today. I have tasted a lot of them secretly. Don't blame me!" Liu Anli greeted her with a smile .

Qin Shi gave him a helpless look and smiled: "They are all about to marry their wives, and they are still so childish. Which lady in the future can rest assured that you will take care of them? I am really worried about your mother and your father."

Mrs. Liu cheerfully took Xia Zijin who was approaching and sat down beside her, then turned her head and sighed to her grandson: "Your mother is very right, if you and Brother Qi can marry a girl as beautiful as Zijin She is a beautiful, intelligent and kind-hearted girl, and my grandmother can rest assured."

At this time, Liu Xianxian, who came late, just heard this sentence, and saw Xia Zijin who was sitting next to Mrs. Liu who was getting close to her, and jealousy and resentment flashed in her eyes.

Xia Zijin captured Liu Xianxian's hostility impartially, and smiled and said, "Grandmother would take Zijin for fun, isn't cousin Xian also young and good-looking, very well-behaved and docile."

Liu Xianxian didn't believe that Xia Zijin would praise her sincerely, so she smiled mockingly in her heart, but she couldn't show it in front of other people, so she just bowed her head to greet Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Qin.

It was only then that everyone noticed that Liu Xianxian had entered the dining hall, and Qin Shi ordered the maid to set up the bowls for her, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Xia Zijin smiled and took a piece of rose cake that Mrs. Liu had brought her. From the corner of her eye, she looked at Liu Qianxian's expression, and saw Liu Qianxian buried her head in eating the porridge, with a seemingly nonchalant look on her face.

"Cousin Xianxian, why don't you speak? Are you still angry with Princess Ben because of what happened yesterday?" Xia Zijin said kindly.

It's okay not to mention this matter, but Liu Xianxian's face changed when she mentioned it, she stopped scooping up the porridge, and looked at Xia Zijin's fake smile, she was very angry, and deliberately stirred the spoon back and forth in the porridge bowl. Ding Dang's accent, he let out a yin and yang and said: "How dare I be angry with the princess's cousin, you are a golden branch and a jade leaf, and a large group of court ladies and eunuchs are waiting for Zhang Luo on weekdays. Naturally, everything can't go wrong, unlike my cousin and I I have been lonely since I was a child, I really envy you."

Mrs. Liu was very uncomfortable hearing her say this. It is true that she was fostered in the Liu family at a young age, but did the Liu family treat her badly?Her food and clothing expenses are not in accordance with the regulations of the real lady, and the Liu family brothers don’t give her any of the New Year’s bags that should be given to her during the holidays, but now she says that she is "lonely", isn't she complaining about the Liu family's mistreatment? she?

"How can my cousin be lonely? You and grandma can see each other every day, so this princess is a little envious." Xia Zijin smiled, her eyes glanced at her fingertips, and said gracefully, "My cousin is fair-skinned and dyed. The red phoenix flower made of this red phoenix flower is very beautiful. This princess remembers that the last time I asked the maids to make the red phoenix flower of the Western Regions that my father rewarded into a flower juice dye. The red phoenix flower is worth a hundred gold. The most used Koudan raw material, thinking that my grandmother doesn’t like bright colors, so I only gave a bottle to my aunt. After all, my aunt loves you, and my cousin has a share of good things. The cousin is born beautiful, and this lady uses it The Koudan juice dyed on my cousin's hand looks very good."

Mrs. Qin looked at Liu Xianxian's fingertips, and her elegant and virtuous face changed slightly for a moment. Xia Zijin asked the palace servants to bring her red phoenix nectar juice to Liu's mansion. She originally liked it very much, but she only used it for a while. Then, the small and exquisite bottle containing the red phoenix nectar juice disappeared, and the maids couldn't find it after searching for a few days, so they had to give up.

The missing thing was wiped on Liu Xianxian's nails, obviously Liu Qianxian took it without authorization.Qin felt a little uncomfortable. If Liu Xianxian asked her to ask for it, she would not refuse to give it, but if she took it away without saying a word, it was nothing but stealing.Although she, as an elder, would not care about Liu Xianxian, she still had a bad impression of Liu Xianxian.

Liu Xianxian didn't expect that it was Xia Zijin who gave it to Qin Shi, her small face became a little unnatural, she always saw Qin Shi use any good things, she would take it back quietly at the right time, and she had never been caught. I found out that this time I was exposed back then, and I was ashamed and annoyed.

"Actually, this is not..."

"Hey, why is my cousin's nails so dark?" Before Liu Xianxian could quibble for herself, Xia Zijin said first, "It seems to be mud, does my cousin still have the habit of planting flowers and soil in the morning? ?”

Several people looked at the gap between Liu Xianxian's nails, and saw that there was indeed a little soil in the gap between the light white fingertips, which was sandwiched between the skin and the bright red nails, which seemed a bit out of place.
