Empress Jinghua: The eunuch is nine thousand years old

Chapter 109 Unearthed
Liu Xianxian cried out in her heart that something was wrong. When she went to sell the puppets in the morning, she only cared about changing clothes and washing the mud off her hands, but she forgot to clean the crevices of her nails. The embarrassment and embarrassment of the juice is now mixed with a guilty conscience, and the expression on this small face can be described as extremely rich.

"Xianxian, it's not grandma who said you. You are still a female member of our Liu family. You should pay more attention to your appearance and appearance, otherwise you will lose points when you go out. Wouldn't it make others laugh at our Liu family's lack of education?" Mrs. Liu was displeased. She said, she used to think that Liu Xianxian was a well-behaved child, but now she is becoming more and more disrespectful. Yesterday, she didn't settle the score with Liu Xianxian for embarrassing the Liu family in front of so many upstart youths, so she really didn't worry.

Liu Xianxian couldn't tell the truth, so she lowered her head and pursed her lips in silence. Seeing Mrs. Liu's serious expression, she felt aggrieved, said yes weakly, raised her eyes and gave Xia Zijin a hard look, All the faults are on her body.

The atmosphere at the table became a little strange again, the breakfast at the table was uninteresting, Mrs. Liu sighed and put down her chopsticks and shook her head, wanting to say something to reproach her, thinking that Liu Xianxian was young after all, so she gave up.

At this time, there was a rush of footsteps coming from the front of the hall, accompanied by the hurried shout of the servant girl.

"Old lady! Old lady!"

Xiao Shu ran into the hall panting, gasping for breath while rubbing his chest, the anxious look on his face was ready to come out.

"What's the matter with you, what are you yelling like?" Mrs. Liu said in a deep voice, she was already in a bad mood, and this yelling gave her a headache.

Xiao Shu held her breath, dragging her sleeves with both hands, a little at a loss, glanced at Liu Xianxian's direction, and stammered: "...Old Madam, something is wrong... just now the housekeeper is holding Master Qi's hand. The pet dog went to the yard to feed, and even the pots were set up, the little dog suddenly stepped on the pot, barked a few times, and burrowed into the bushes beside the yard, sniffing the ground like crazy. After a long time, the paws stepped on a new piece of soil under the tree and barked wildly."

Liu Xianxian grabbed the dress with both hands, and her heart hung up. Isn't the new soil under the tree in the bushes the place where she buried the puppet?What is Liu Anqi's puppy doing there? Could it be that she left something behind when she buried things for the puppy with a sensitive nose to find out...

She stared at Xiao Shu nervously, but seeing Xiao Shu looked over, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said: "The servants pulled the puppy away, dug up that piece of soil, and found something extraordinary... "

"What is it?" Mrs. Liu frowned.

"Yes..." Xiao Shu lowered her voice and said solemnly, "It's a puppet used to curse..."

Liu Xianxian pinched her fingertips into her palm, bit her lower lip instantly, and an ominous premonition hit her like a storm.

"Cursed puppet?" Mrs. Liu stood up from her seat in astonishment, as if she couldn't believe it. How could such an evil thing appear on the Liu family's territory?
"That's right, old lady! The servants saw it clearly. The thing was sewn into the shape of a villain, with a red cloth strip tied around the neck, and more than a dozen thin needles pierced the body, and... the puppet's There is a pair of birthday characters stuffed in the body!"

Except for Xia Zijin and Liu Xianxian, who knew about it, everyone else looked terrified and shocked.Although the art of witchcraft is not so terrifying in Dalai, but such unclean and evil things appear in the house, which always makes people panic.

"Whose birthday is it!" Mrs. Liu suddenly raised her voice. Someone actually did such an unconscionable thing in Liu's house. Who is he trying to harm?
"It's...Princess Pearl..." Xiao Shu said.

Xia Zijin didn't speak, but put on a look of astonishment, expressing a bit of fear, surprise, and anger quite appropriately.

The Liu family obviously didn't expect that the witchcraft was used to curse Xia Zijin. She lives in the deep palace and has no entanglements with the rest of the Liu family who don't want to do it. Cursing Xia Zijin is too incredible.

"Aren't you mistaken?" Mrs. Liu asked again, with embarrassment and doubt intertwined in her eyes.

Xiao Shu nodded affirmatively and said: "Originally, the slaves didn't know who the birth date was. If the servants of the masters could recognize it, this one is indeed familiar. It happened that the little girl next to the princess brought Huan Gonggong over. Miss Xiaokui recognized the princess' birthday on the paper at a glance, and she will serve the princess personally, so she can't make a mistake!"

"This..." The Qin family understands that this is a serious matter. Something evil has happened in the mansion, and they are cursing the current princess, not to mention who did it. If the emperor finds out, I am afraid that the Liu family will not be peaceful. It's been a while.

Mrs. Liu reached out and patted the table and sighed absurdly. She was three parts ashamed, three parts pity and three parts worried about Xia Zijin, and immediately said angrily: "Then is there any clue on the puppet to find out what to do?" Cursed person?"

Liu Xianxian's heart was about to jump out of her throat. Her ten fingers had already embedded deep marks in her palm, and her lower lip was also biting white. She wanted to avoid suspicion but couldn't say a word. Her heart was fluttering. There is no way to stop.

Xiao Shu cast a hesitant and timid look towards the crowd, then stopped on the pale-faced Liu Xianxian and said, "Old lady Hui... In the soil where the puppet is buried, there is Miss Biao's handkerchief... "

The Liu family didn't wake up from the surprise for a long time. For them, even if Liu Xianxian had some faults or inappropriateness, she was still an obedient woman at heart. Why?

The gazes projected by everyone made Liu Xianxian uncomfortable in every possible way, her palm-sized face was completely drained of blood, she thought that no one would notice this kind of thing, but it was only a few hours later that everything was exposed, how could she not make her feel serious again? Like a lightning strike.

"...No...it's not me!" Liu Xianxian waved her hands in a hurry, her eyes rolled unnaturally, and she fumbled through her sleeves frantically, then pulled out the square handkerchief on her body and said, "I'm wearing it on my body." , how could it be thrown in that pothole! Besides...you must be very careful when you do this kind of thing...the color of my square handkerchief and the puppet are very different, if you accidentally drop it, how can you not find it! So be sure Someone set me up!"

"That's right... that's it!" Liu Xianxian seemed to have found a breakthrough, insisted on this point, even though her heart was beating drums, she began to pretend that she refused to admit it.

"Grandmother's maid didn't seem to say what color the puppet was. How did Cousin Xianxian know that it was far from her handkerchief?" Xia Zijin said lightly.

At this time, Liu Xianxian had already made up her mind to deny it to the end, so she said, "I... I guessed, can't I!"

At this time, Xiaokui and Xiaohuanzi approached from the door, Xiaokui held the witch puppet in her hand, and appeared in front of everyone, the dense needles on the puppet made one's scalp tingle.

"Old Madam Liu, take a look, is this handwriting familiar?" Xiaokui handed over the yellow paper with the birth date written on it.

Mrs. Liu took it over and took a look, her heart sank after just one glance, the slightly delicate and small font, whoever it was if it wasn't Liu Xianxian's handwriting.

Fang Pa can be said to be planted by others, but the handwriting is absolutely irrefutable. At this moment, the Liu family can't help but think of the fact that they saw soil in Liu Xianxian's fingernails during the previous incense burn. water surface.

"You..." Mrs. Liu gritted her teeth and looked at Liu Xianxian, feeling annoyed at being deceived and deceived, she slapped Liu Xianxian on the right cheek with shaking hands, "You silly bastard! Learned such nonsensical and ruthless tricks at a young age!"

Liu Xianxian was slapped for the first time in more than ten years. She was ashamed and hated, and covered her hot cheeks and hissed: "Grandmother! I am the granddaughter who has stayed in the Liu family and respected you for many years. How could you come out halfway because of this?" people hit me!"

Seeing Liu Xianxian's unchanging appearance, Mrs. Liu became even more angry, and her blood pressure rose steadily while holding her heart.

"Cousin, how can you do such a thing, that kind of harmful thing can kill people, when did you become so vicious!" Liu Anli shook his head in disbelief, completely disappointed with Liu Xianxian.

Whether it's Mrs. Liu, Liu Anli, or the silent Qin family, the maidservants around her all looked at her with accusations or contempt in their eyes. The resentment accumulated in her heart at this moment Pulling to the top, he choked up and roared, "So what if it's me! Anyway, Xia Zijin is standing here well, and he didn't lose a piece of meat because of the puppet. Can't I apologize!"

Standing beside Xia Zijin, Xiao Kui said angrily for Xia Zijin: "Princess! I really can't bear you to suffer this kind of grievance. This kind of treason that clearly wants to curse your life is wanted to use a sentence of reluctance." If the emperor knows that you have been wronged so much, I don't know how to feel sorry for you!"

Mrs. Liu's complexion was heavy. If only Liu's family knew about this matter, it would be better to let Ming Shengdi know...I'm afraid it will affect Chi Yu, Liu Xianxian's life will be lost, and even Liu's family will be implicated.

"Girl Zijin... It's my grandmother who didn't teach Xianxian well. She did something she should never have done. If you blame her, we are all on your side. Grandma will definitely punish her severely for venting her anger for you. It's just... a family ugliness." Don't make it public, grandma is cheeky begging Zijin girl, can you keep this matter quiet..." Her wrinkled face was full of guilt and resignation, even though she knew that because of this incident, Liu Xianxian was killed by Ming Sheng. The Liu family had nothing to say when the emperor gave him death, but in order not to implicate the rest of the Liu family, she had to be ashamed and beg Xia Zijin not to bring this matter back to the palace.
