Concubine Huang said she wanted to leave

Chapter 56
From the very beginning, Concubine Hua deliberately brought the topic to the matter of witchcraft.

When the Empress Dowager asked such a question, it seemed as if someone had really done something ominous to Concubine Ning. Suspicious eyes were looming in these concubines, and some even turned their eyes to her!

Zhi Zi wanted to step forward and reprimand these people for being rude, but the Empress Dowager was here, and she was powerless.

Shang Kelan secretly saw the situation in the arena and remained unmoved.

She picked up a cup of tea in her hand, gently shook the tea body, and quietly listened to Concubine Hua's words.

But Concubine Hua said to the Queen Mother with a smile: "I heard that the most famous Tiandao person in Zhongnan Mountain has come to the capital now, and he is watching Fengshui, measuring good and bad luck, and exorcising evil spirits for the big families in the capital. It is very effective. Maybe we can Would you please come in and take a look that day?"

Zhongnan Mountain?
Shang Kelan has seen it in ancient books. It is recorded that the Taoist temples in Zhongnan Mountain are inhabited by some masters. The word-of-mouth among the people is good and influential.

The Queen Mother naturally knew about it, but she never really believed in these ghosts and gods.

So, suppressing the doubts in her heart, she turned to Concubine Hua and said, "Don't worry about this matter. After Ai's family invites Su Yuan from Tai Hospital to diagnose Concubine Ning, it won't be too late to make a decision. Besides, Su Yuanpan is the best imperial physician in the capital, Ai family doesn't believe it, even Su Yuanpan can't find out the cause of Concubine Ning's miscarriage!"

I didn't expect the Queen Mother to be so difficult to persuade. When everyone mentioned Hong Yuanwai just now, the Queen Mother's eyes showed a bit of trust.

In that case, she had no choice but to...

Thinking about it, Concubine Hua winked at Lvxiang.

Lvxiang nodded secretly, then turned and went down.

At the same time, Concubine Hua stopped arguing with the Queen Mother, but echoed with a smile: "Everything is up to the Queen Mother, after all, Concubine Ning is the biggest victim from the beginning to the end!"

At this moment, Zhao Kehan, who had been listening quietly all this time, also had a slight glint in his eyes, and said to the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty's first child just died like this. I'm afraid Your Majesty is the one who is most sad?"

The Queen Mother couldn't help frowning when she heard the words, and immediately said to Nanny Chen: "Go to the Imperial Hospital to pass on the order of Ai's family, and ask the Su Yuan judge to come over and treat Concubine Ning immediately! The reason for Concubine Ning's miscarriage can't be found out. Don't ask for top black yarn!"

Nanny Chen hurriedly said, "Yes!"

Seeing that the Queen Mother was really angry, all the concubines immediately fell silent and sat upright.

Just as Nanny Chen had just left the gate of the main hall, Lvxiang walked in with a few maidservants carrying incense burners.

This incense burner is small and delicate, it is made of bronze, hollowed out and carved, very cute.

Curls of white smoke emerged from the incense burner, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

The concubines couldn't help moving their noses, smelling obsessively.

The Queen Mother couldn't help but relax her expression, her brows were slightly relaxed.

She looked down at Lvxiang and said, "What are you bringing here, why is there such a refreshing fragrance?"

Different from ambergris, this fragrance is more suitable for concubines in the harem. It smells good, elegant and long-lasting, not offensive, and most people can accept it.

Lu Xiang waved her hand, and the maidservants placed the incense burner on each empress's table.

Afterwards, Lvxiang bowed his knees and saluted, and replied respectfully: "Going back to the empress dowager, this incense was specially prepared by a folk perfumer for empress Ning. Empress Ning liked the smell very much, so she called my maidservant every day and hour three Put this incense in the hall and smoke it for a while at the moment."

After some explanation, it is very reasonable.

On the side, Shang Kelan's eyes dimmed: When they entered the main hall of Lanyue Palace just now, they didn't smell any incense, that is to say, this incense burner was placed in the main hall for the first time today.

If according to what Lu Xiang said, Concubine Ning asked people to light this incense in the palace every day, these furniture and porcelain must also have a smell of incense.

Zhizi moved her nose, and after smelling it, she couldn't help but approached Shang Kelan's ear and said, "Your Majesty, this incense smells really good!"

"Ah! Ghost!"

Suddenly, a concubine pointed at the queen mother and yelled, her face full of horror!

The Empress Dowager felt a chill down her spine, she couldn't help but her eyelids twitched, and she was furious in front of the room: "You ignorant concubine, what nonsense are you talking about?!"

Seeing that the palace maid didn't seem to be telling lies, everyone looked at the Queen Mother one after another.

"Ah! Ghost! It's really a ghost!"

The Empress Dowager's face became angry, and she pointed at these people and said, "You guys are really endless..."

When Zhao Kehan ​​looked back, his whole body froze immediately, showing a look of horror.

Even when the queen turned her head to look, she took a few steps back in fear and covered her face with her sleeves. Fortunately, Tao Xiang supported her in time so that she would not fall down.

Shang Kelan raised his eyes to look, and his eyes couldn't help revealing the color of shock.

Behind the empress dowager, on the picture of the beautiful country and mountains hanging on the wall, a scarlet grimace unexpectedly appeared!
That grimace has a bloody mouth open, sharp teeth, eyes like an old cow, and thin cheeks, it's really terrifying!
Even Zhizi standing behind her couldn't help shaking her hands, her eyes widened in fear, and she looked at the beautiful picture of the country behind the queen mother in disbelief!

The Queen Mother finally realized that something was wrong, and quickly turned her head to look. In an instant, the grimace magnified in front of her eyes!

The queen mother was startled, but a stern look flashed in her eyes.

Without hesitation, she grabbed the teacup in her hand and poured the tea in it at Jiangshan Xiulitu!

"Shh!"

The tea was splashed on the grimace, and the scarlet grimace disappeared from Jiang Shangxiuli's picture immediately, and turned into a pool of scarlet blood that flowed out along the wall, spreading towards the Empress Dowager's feet!

"Mistress, be careful!"

Shang Kelan took two steps in three steps, quickly came to the Queen Mother, and pulled her and Zhao Kehan ​​back a step in time, so that the red liquid didn't get on their feet!
"quack!"

Before everyone could react, four different grimaces appeared on the four pillars of the main hall of Lanyue Palace!

Every grimace is very scary, very frightening!

"Ah! So many... so many ghosts!"

"Help!"

These concubines were taken aback by the inexplicable grimaces, and they were panicked and at a loss, all of them trembling with each other, eager to run.

"Dangdang!"

Teacups, tables, and chairs were also thrown to the ground by these people in a panic, making a "crackling" noise.

It was only then that the queen mother realized what everyone meant when they pointed at her and said "ghost". It turned out that they were not referring to her, but the beautiful picture of the country behind her!

Rao, the empress dowager who had fought with Mr. Jin on the battlefield, couldn't help feeling a little flustered at this moment.

She turned her head and glanced at Shang Kelan who was pulling herself and Zhao Kehan ​​back, and saw that although she looked surprised, she was still able to calmly observe the situation in the hall, so she couldn't help but look at her with admiration.

I thought this concubine Chen was just a little woman who would use tricks to monopolize His Majesty's favor, but she didn't expect that she would be rational enough when she encountered a critical situation.

It's a bit of her demeanor when she was young!
