Harem: Biography of Concubine Qin

Chapter 326 Plan
"What the hell is this!" Bai Lu asked while covering her ears.

The cry of the bug was like a baby's sharp cry, and the sound seemed to be directly in the mind, even if you covered your ears, you could hear it.

"This sound really makes people uncomfortable." The princess said, covered the porcelain lid on the side, then wrapped the small cup with a cloth, soaked it in water, and kept it for a while, then the sound gradually became quieter , After a stick of incense, the voice finally disappeared.

Chen Wenxin sat leaning on the slumped armrest, her face was as pale as white paper.

Xi'er looked at Chen Wenxin worriedly, she helped her tuck the quilt up, and asked very worriedly: "Madam, do you feel unwell, servant girl, please go and ask the imperial physician to have a look?"

"I'm afraid it's useless if the imperial doctor comes. Now that there's chaos outside, it's better not to bother about it. It's important to tell the emperor about Madam Qin's illness." The princess shook her head and sighed: "This is not the case. It can be cured with a few doses of medicine."

"Princess said so, do you know what this thing is?" Chen Wenxin also waved her hand, but she just felt a pain in the head from the sharp sound, and she felt better after a while.

It's just that she has never seen that kind of thing before. The princess said that it was a voodoo. She knew that there was a kind of witchcraft called voodoo in ancient times. It originated in Miaojiang, and it is one of the most mysterious witchcraft in this continent.

Some folklorists have specialized in research and said that most of the Gu insects are made of leeches, that is, leeches.

But modern people have long labeled that kind of witchcraft as a feudal superstition, and have never seen anyone actually use it. Chen Wenxin originally thought it was a cover for fooling people, but now that he suddenly learned that he was bewitched, Chen Wenxin also I don't know what to do.

I thought the princess would talk about this Gu worm in detail, but the princess was silent for a while, then just shook her head: "I heard about this thing from a wandering doctor. He only said it was a very sinister method, but he didn't Tell me exactly what it is."

After she finished speaking, she told Chen Wenxin everything the man said.

It turns out that this is not the Gu worm known by ordinary people. It is said that few people know about that kind of witchcraft, but because there have always been legends about this mysterious witchcraft among the people, some people began to study Gu.

At the beginning, he didn't know who started to use it. Later, when he knew the existence of this kind of "voodoo poison", this method had already spread among high-ranking officials and nobles.

"Actually, I also know about this thing. When I went out to have fun with ladies from various families, I heard that there is a slow poison called 'drum'. You only need to put the medicine in the water. It doesn't matter whether it is cold or hot. When half a stick of incense is put on, the poison will dissolve in the water silently."

The princess said, pointing to the water basin on one side: "Just a water basin like this is fine. If you put it in the water, as soon as a person touches it, it can penetrate into the human body, and then lie dormant, using human blood to nourish poison and absorb nutrients." At the same time, it also releases toxins, and the body will slowly become weak from the inside, if you are not careful, doctors who don’t know the poison will only be diagnosed with physical weakness.”

And the most terrifying thing about this kind of thing is that once the disease occurs, it will radiate crazily in the body. If the medicine you take is mild, it will not cure the disease at all. Even Bajiu couldn't get back.

"It's just that this thing is expensive. Some people say that the direct price for buying medicine is 300 million taels of silver, which can only be more or less, and they only want real silver." The princess couldn't help shaking her head as she spoke: "At that time, we only had It's a joke, who knows there is really..."

"There is such a poison in the world? Well, why don't you just..." Bai Lu looked at the princess in surprise, and she suddenly went to carry the water basin. Chen Wenxin reached out to stop her, telling her not to be so nervous. She stopped moving: "Your Majesty, it's not that the servants are nervous, but the servants... are really scared."

"I'm afraid it's of no use now, they've already come." Chen Wenxin said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, it's such a time, why are you still in the mood to smile?" Bai Lu sat aside dejectedly, looked at the small cup wrapped in a wet cloth and said, "You haven't seen how disgusting that thing is, and We still don't know who poisoned it, and now you are grounded again."

"What I said before, didn't I find out who had the intentions all at once? I already had some ideas about the poisoning, but I can't talk about it now, and this," Chen Wenxin pointed to the Xiao Cup: "We're still not sure if it's that kind of thing."

Chen Wenxin was still a little weak, but fortunately she really saw those things, otherwise, if she knew what was in her body, she would probably have to spit out all the things she ate, which would only make her weaker.

Some people want to take this opportunity to prevent her from stepping out of this Yikun Palace forever, and she can't make those people proud. The premise that I don't offend people is that people don't offend me. She took a deep breath and said to the princess: "Princess, this matter may be serious." It's a bit difficult, but I still hope you can send that doctor in."

My illness cannot be delayed now, because there is not much time left for Zhungeer and Princess Jingke.

"This...no problem. Originally, I planned to come to see Mrs. Qin, but that person's temper is a little bit bad. Mrs. Qin, don't mind." After the princess finished speaking, she suddenly remembered something, and added He said: "It's just Mrs. Qin, that person said that he is going to retreat, and he can't see guests for these two days."

"This person is strange, but since his rules are like this, let's not break the rules, it is important to bring him here as soon as possible." Chen Wenxin smiled, she had heard before that strange people always have some strange abilities , It's just that for so long, she hasn't seen too many strange people.

After saying a few more words, the princess couldn't stand it anymore, and Chen Wenxin also felt sleepy, so she asked Bai Lu to take the princess to rest.

Xi'er stayed on the sidelines and did not speak until the princess went out before she opened her mouth and said, "Your Majesty, it stands to reason that slaves shouldn't have said these things, but now slaves really don't know who to talk to."

Chen Wenxin looked at Xi'er, and saw that Xi'er was hanging her head, showing some shyness and bewilderment on her face, so Chen Wenxin nodded and told her to speak.

Only then did Xi'er open his mouth and said: "Your Majesty, although you have not been confined in the palace for a long time, it is not short. Now that something like this happened, the slaves were also worried at the time, so they did not follow the instructions of the Empress. Everyone knows about the servants, and they have a lot of opinions."

This is also expected. Originally, the maids and eunuchs were working for their masters, especially the people in Yikun Palace. Bullied Xi'er.

Knowing that Xi'er had already shown her face in front of her, fear and anger were understandable.

"I know all of this, you don't have to worry, I will explain it clearly to them." Chen Wenxin said in relief.

"But empress, the sisters are good, I'm afraid they can listen to it, but some people below are afraid that they can't listen to anyone's words now." Xi'er looked worried, and after thinking about it, she still kept vigil by the window at night. He said what he heard.

That was last night, everyone was sleepy, and Bai Lu fell asleep on her side. When she heard the cock crow, she woke up, but her body was still unwilling to move, and she just leaned against the wall in a daze.

At this time, two people passed by outside. They stopped outside the warm pavilion to keep warm, and started talking when they were bored.

She really couldn't tell whose voice it was, she just thought it should be the little palace lady, those two people were already very dissatisfied, and they were also towards Chen Wenxin.

"They said that it has been widely rumored that the empress has fallen out of favor. Even if the confinement is over, it is impossible to represent the sixth palace, let alone the position of the empress. They also said that the empress did not know that she liked slaves, so she let the slaves be undercover. Not sincerely." Xi'er had already said it very tactfully, when the two said it, it was almost scolding.

It's just that Chen Wenxin was in a deep sleep, the princess wasn't there, and Bai Lu was also in the room. If she didn't wake up by chance, no one would have heard of it.

"Those little maids are all discussing to go out and find another master, which is nothing at all, but one of them said that Concubine Tong has already...someone has come to say that as long as they are smart, as many as they can go, just in the morning, Someone sneaked in with charcoal."

Xi'er didn't dare to speak too clearly, one was that she had no basis, she just heard about it, and the other was that she was afraid that Chen Wenxin's health would not be well, so she was getting angry after hearing this.

"My servant originally wanted to tell Sister Bailu, but my servant was only halfway through saying it, and Sister Bailu became very angry. I was afraid that my sister would do something stupid, so I didn't dare to say more." Xi'er sighed again, "There is only one person outside today. The little maid cleaned the yard, but she just did it hastily, and the maid originally wanted to continue cleaning, only to find that there is only one broom left."

"Only one left? What about the others?" Chen Wenxin half-closed her eyes, as if thinking of something.

"The others... were all burned as firewood to keep warm." Xi'er whispered.

Chen Wenxin didn't speak, nor did she show an angry expression, she was staring at the quilt in a daze.Xi'er just stood aside and waited, not knowing what to say.

Bai Lu came back from the outside, seeing the two of them lost in thought facing each other, she paused, and said with a smile: "What are you doing all this, lady, didn't you say you were sleepy?"

"Don't worry about going to bed yet. Call Yingge and the others. I have something to tell them. Besides, Xi'er, I also need your help." Chen Wenxin said, beckoning to Xi'er, and Xi'er bowed down. After listening to Chen Wenxin's words, she bit her lip and nodded.

Just as Bai Lu was feeling strange, Chen Wenxin suddenly grabbed the glazed flower vase on the sagging side, threw it on the ground, and cursed loudly: "Get out! Don't hang around in front of this palace, do you think the emperor will take a fancy to you! Stop dreaming!"
