The Crown Prince in the Jade Pendant

Today, Empress Xiaoqi brought everyone to the East Palace with great fanfare. These people behind had guessed some clues, but they didn't expect that they would have such fierce information as soon as they entered the door.

The pity miscarriage inexplicably, this much-anticipated child turned into a pool of flesh and blood, and in the princess's flower garden, he dug a wooden box that looked weird.

This situation does not require any imagination, anyone with eyes can see that this is how the queen and the prince are fighting. However, it seems that the crown princess is inferior, I am afraid it will be unlucky.

Zhao Lanhui swept his eyes around, exchanged a glance with Concubine Shu quietly, and then lowered his eyes gloatingly, waiting for the development of things. The queen and the prince contended. This situation could not be more advantageous to the Su Wang family. Concubine Shu hoped that the two would bite to death, and it would be better for the two to fall together.

The restless noise continued behind him, and even the servants of the East Palace were surprised and suspicious. Others were scared to death, but Chu Jinyao, the client, was very calm. She even smiled slightly and said, "Queen, you didn’t ask what it was, so you asked me what’s going on. This can be. It's really strange, you don't open it, how do I know what's going on?"

Only after Xiaoqi found out that he had accidentally sold a flaw. Seeing that everything was as expected, Xiao Qi sternly questioned, but instead neglected that the wooden box had not been opened yet. How did she know what it was? After Xiao Qi calmly brought the topic forward, he said with a sullen face: "This box looks weird. Come, open it."

The people in Kunning Palace guarded Xiao Qi, and said: "The empress is standing back. This wooden box is weird. Don't approach the empress."

The other concubines also hid outside, and Chu Jinyao backed away surrounded by the palace people. After leaving the central area, an **** carefully picked up the wooden box. After Xiaoqi was ready, he did not expect to wait, but he saw the **** standing still, with a strange expression.

Xiao Qi frowned, "What's wrong?"

The **** holding the wooden box hesitated to say something but raised his head, and looked at Empress Xiao Qi: "Queen Empress, this wooden box...is empty."

"empty?"

Not only Xiao Qi, but the other concubines were also surprised. Concubine Shu looked at the wooden box suspiciously. This time it was obvious that the queen was setting up the set. However, the queen had done so much in the East Palace, but she just buried an empty box.

Obviously Empress Xiao Qi wouldn't do such a stupid thing. She frowned tightly and looked at the wooden box in person two steps forward. There was mud on the outside of this wooden box, and there were still broken roots and leaves stuffed in the cracks, and it was obvious at a glance that it was newly buried. However, it was empty inside.

As she got closer, Lanyu saw some flaws, and she frowned slowly. How did she feel that the pattern of this wooden box was not right?

Before Lan Yu could understand it, she heard Chu Jinyao say: "Empress, your frown, shouldn't it be this wooden box? The emperor's heir is a matter of great importance. If you are not satisfied, you can continue. dig."

Hearing this, everyone behind them hurriedly lowered their heads and covered their lips with a veil to cover up the smile on their lips. After seeing this, Xiao Qi had noticed that things had changed. She stabilized her mind and said: "My palace has never expected such a thing, this is just a trance."

Lan Yu quickly thought about the countermeasures, and smiled: "I have heard that the crown prince is ingenious, and I saw it today. I actually bury the wood in the flower garden. What new flower planting technique is it?"

"I don't know if it's a flower-planting technique." Chu Jinyao stood on the corridor with her hands in hand, and glanced at Lan Yu lightly. "If Aunt Lan Yu really wants to know, it's better to ask the person who buried the wooden box."

Everyone was shocked, Li Fei couldn't hold back, and asked: "This is not actually buried by the prince?"

"It's not all." Chu Jinyao nodded and said with a smile, "I saw a flower withered in the flower garden a few days ago, and I felt sorry for it, so I asked my servant to take care of it. Who would have thought that the soil hasn't loosened yet. When I finished, I dug out a wooden box in the soil. I was young and didn’t know what it was, so I didn’t dare to move. The queen’s wife was so knowledgeable that she was just in time to give me a palm. take it out."

The palace mother responded, holding out something from the back, which turned out to be another wooden box of similar size. The palace mother stood far away, took a long silver needle and opened the keyhole on the box. The palace mother saw the contents inside and immediately changed color. The little **** holding the wooden box in the back gave an exclamation. Taken off and threw down the wooden box.

The wooden box slammed on the ground, and a puppet with a strange color was rolled out of it. The puppet’s body is painted with weird paint. Its eyes are huge, looking hollowly in one direction, looking very awkward, and the most frightening thing is that its abdomen is bulged by something, and it is covered with a piece of yellow talisman paper. There are many slender needles on the talisman paper.

The concubines screamed in fright, and someone in the crowd called out its name: "Witch Gu!"

Chu Jinyao frowned, stretched out her hand to cover her eyes, and turned her face to avoid it. Linglong blocked in front of Chu Jinyao and said, "Why is there such a thing in the palace, and how can it be buried in the Qide Hall? This group of people is really negligent, and even let this kind of ominous thing stay in the prince. Concubine under her eyelids."

After Xiao Qi tilted his head to look at the wooden box buried in the soil, and then at the other one that fell to the ground, he didn't know if it was replaced by Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao found something in the soil for some reason, but did not make a sound after digging it out. Instead, she replaced it with another box of similar color and size, and even deceived Xiao Qi. The Empress Xiao Qi was furious, and she was still calm on the surface: "Prince Concubine, Wu Gu is a taboo in the palace, why is there such a thing in your palace?"

"I don't even know this matter." Chu Jinyao said, "I accidentally discovered that there was a flower withered in the flower garden, and I accidentally dug this thing out when the servant was taking care of it. I didn't know what it was, so I left it intact. , I want to use it to ask the Empress Empress on another day. I opened this wooden box for the first time, only to realize that it actually contained a witch-gu item. Obviously, this was someone who wanted to use this item to murder a pity and frame it to the East Palace."

If this thing is dug out in front of everyone today, Chu Jinyao is indeed difficult to argue, but if she took it out by herself, the same thing will have a completely different meaning. Of course, Chu Jinyao can say that this is someone else. Framed. In this way, Xiao Qi, who was digging with fanfare, became more subtle. After Xiaoqi made great efforts to buy out the manpower, he did not expect it to be self-defeating. The traitor buried the Witch Gu in the East Palace in the middle of the night, and dug up many roots in a panic. The amethyst flower is the most delicate, but it does not come out. A few days later, Chu Jinyao showed signs of withering. Chu Jinyao noticed that the nearby soil was loosened when people were taking care of the flowers and plants. Chu Jinyao's instinct was wrong, and people dug around here carefully, and she found the witch Gu. The small wooden box of the doll.

Although Chu Jinyao had little court experience, she also knew that Wu Gu was a taboo in all dynasties, and there were countless princes and concubines who died of this thing. Chu Jinyao disliked Xiao Qi's viciousness, but still concealed it calmly, and buried it in another box. Xiao Qi's plan was insidious, but Chu Jinyao didn't know how Xiao Qi was going to get into trouble, so instead of rushing to startle the snake, he pretended to be totally unaware.

Until today, the pity had a miscarriage. After Xiao Qi brought everyone to the Qide Hall for unexplained reasons, he wanted to frame the Donggong for using Witch Gu in full view. Chu Jinyao was both disgusted and grateful to see this place. She hated Xiaoqi's improper mentality and slanderous methods, which killed an innocent little life. Not to mention, now she wants to use this charge to drag the East Palace into the water, and at the same time, she is also grateful that she found it. In the early days, Wu Gu was a harem taboo, and being caught and presented by himself were obviously two concepts.

Xiao Qi originally had the chance to win, but he didn't expect something went wrong in the most critical link, but the current situation was not good for him. After Xiao Qi calmed down, he said: "The princess is eloquent, but only based on the words of the princess's family, who knows whether the princess is really unaware, or discovers that the matter has leaked, and then he took the things out. "

This was so shameless, Chu Jinyao's eyes were cold, and she said, "If these things are really made by me, why should I take them out in front of everyone and destroy them privately, wouldn't it be better? What's more, there is dirt on the outside of the wooden box. It can be seen that this Witch Gu puppet is indeed buried in the soil. If this is all my self-directed and acted performance, then why should I go extra and bury it in the soil and dig it out again?"

"Yes, the harem can't avoid Wu Gu, the prince really doesn't have to keep this kind of thing by her side." Someone in the crowd said.

After Xiao Qi sneered, and swept the crowd condescendingly, the crowd suddenly did not dare to say anything. Xiao Qi later said: "It's hard to guarantee that the princess was playing with this idea. She deliberately went the other way in order to dispel her suspicion. Come here, check the material of the puppet and find out which house the thing came from. "

The courageous palace maiden went to check the fabric on the doll, and after a while he replied: "Tell the queen, prince, and ladies, this evil thing is made of fine silk from the lake which was newly tributed this year. The fine silk did not have it. How much, the Ministry of Internal Affairs can know where to go after an investigation."

When the concubines heard this, several people came out to testify, and there were only a few palaces who were qualified to be assigned to the lake fine silk back and forth. After Xiao Qi asked the Office of Internal Affairs to send the account book, Concubine Shu and Li Fei also asked people to take the creation book from their palace. None of them lacked anything, so the fine lake silk hadn't had time to use it. After a comparison, it can be confirmed that the fabric used to make the dolls did not come from Concubine Shu, Consort Li, and Kunning Palace. Chu Jinyao frowned, and the East Palace was also assigned the latest lake fine silk, but in order to make clothes for the little nephew, she had already cut half of it, which was indefensible.

Chu Jinyao said: "The fine silk from the East Palace is kept here, but my sister is happy with Lin'er. I cut half a horse to make small clothes for the children. It is inevitable that the clothes will be damaged when they are cut, but I dare to keep it. The fine silk used in this thing does not come from the East Palace."

Xiao Qi sneered, and said: "The prince concubine's words are hard to convince the public. You took out the things, and the corresponding cloth is missing in your palace. You still insist that you don't know anything. How does this make this palace? Believe?"

Chu Jinyao also felt that this reason was thin, and there was no suspicion. It was impossible for a person to prove that he had not done something. Chu Jinyao broke the poisonous scheme of Empress Xiao Qi, but Empress Xiao Qi sophistry, unless she relied on this matter, Chu Jinyao couldn't prove that she had never made this doll.

The two sides stood in a stalemate for a moment, and in the end no one took advantage. After Xiao Qi failed to "catch the **** and catch the double", Chu Jinyao could not prove that this was not her own thing. After Xiao Qi knew that this matter had to be heated up, she stayed for a while, and turned back to herself with a bad face. The palace is out. As soon as Xiao Qi left, the others also retired one after another.

After the people left, Chu Jinyao walked into the Qide Hall with people, frowning and thinking. Linglong was relieved after seeing Chu Jinyao: "Prince Princess, you can rest. You stopped that man's poisonous scheme today and let her go home. It should be her frowning. What are you worried about."

Chu Jinyao sighed: "You can't say that. Although I noticed the clues in advance and avoided the fatal blow, I couldn't completely dispel it. It's too passive to be chased and beaten by her, and I can't be so lucky forever. "

Linglong disagreed with some of her close servants: "Prince Princess, you have done a good job today. If you hadn't discovered it early, it would never have ended like this today. The one who has planned for a long time, you are in such a disadvantaged position. It's already very powerful to be able to draw a tie with her."

Chu Jinyao shook his head: "It's not enough. Passive defense like this is not the answer. I have to take the initiative to attack. It is true that I can't prove that the puppet was not made by me. Then I will look for evidence that someone else did it."

This is obviously the queen of Xiaoqi's gaining power, so it seems that the miscarriage of the pity is also the result of Xiaoqi's. Chu Jinyao frowned and thought for a long time, and finally said: "It seems that you still have to start with the pity. Linglong, prepare the gift, and also, has the **** in the palace found it?"

Xiao Qi's strategy is both vicious and poisonous. She has placed great hopes on Wu Gu, so she does not hesitate to use the old dimes when she does it, but she also has to bury things in the East Palace. It's a pity that today's move failed after Xiao Qi, and her hidden traitor that she had buried for many years in the East Palace was also exposed.

Chu Jinyao was merciless in cleaning up these people. After Xiao Qi heard the news, it was painful and angry, and he smashed several vases in the palace with hatred.

Her posture was quite ruinous, Xiao Qi had thought that she had been foolproof, but she did not expect to be empty again. Xiao Qi's teeth were itchy, interrupted by Chu Jinyao, Donggong didn't take the matter of stealing Witch Gu. Xiao Qi's queen could only remedy it desperately and blow the pillow wind in front of the emperor. It's just that since Wang Mingci's incident, the emperor has been indifferent to Xiao Qi empress, and at this time the long-awaited child of the emperor has aborted, so how can the emperor have the mind to linger with Xiao Qi empress. Hearing that the emperor heard that it was a prince that day, he sighed deeply.

When Xiao Qi ran into the wall, Chu Jinyao also brought warm tonic things to visit Lian.

"Pity Niang Niang, I want to ask you something."
