Chapter 377 This Sad New Year's Eve

All this happened so fast, until Concubine Li Gui fell down, everyone hadn't recovered yet, but Mrs. Liu saw Concubine Li Gui's eyes turned white and paralyzed there, her heart jumped wildly with fright, if she threw Concubine Li Gui to death Well, no matter what the cause of this matter is, for the face of the royal family, she can't live!

Mrs. Liu was so frightened that she quickly crawled over to check Concubine Li Gui's breath. Fortunately, although her eyes were closed and her teeth were clenched tightly, her breath was still there and her chest was rising and falling. After Mrs. Liu touched her breath, she still leaned on her chest and listened. Listen, at this moment she found that Concubine Li Gui's bloody ten armors seemed unusual. The noble ladies in this palace often wear armors, and the armors are made of different materials. Yes, there are ivory, tortoiseshell, and giant clam, etc. The more expensive the more, the more it can show off the identity, but what is this armor with dark fingers and faint blue light, with her knowledge, she has never seen it before. Pass,
"what is this?"

Mrs. Liu picked up Concubine Liu Gui's ten fingers and looked carefully. She felt that her hand was cold. There seemed to be something engraved on the armor. After being stained with blood, the runes twisted like earthworms seemed to come alive. She exclaimed , and led the Empress who was hiding behind the palace pillar over, the Empress saw that Li Guifei had fallen down and couldn't move, and saw that Mrs. Liu was pressing on her body, touching and pinching her without any response, she knew that she couldn't go crazy at this time, After busy checking, after hearing Liu's words, he also watched intently, seeing the strange appearance of those ten armors, he couldn't help being shocked.

But after all, she is the mother of a country. After the initial panic, the first thing she thought of was to stabilize the overall situation.

"Come on!"

At this time, all the palace people also came back to their senses, and they all squeezed past the onlookers and rushed to the inner circle.
"Take Li Guifei away..."

When the empress said something to carry him away, she gave the palace man beside her a wink. The palace man understood, and when they carried him away, they took a rope and tied him up, and someone came over to dig out the eyeball and return it. The screaming palace man lifted it down, and the eyeball that was thrown on the ground by Guan was kicked into nowhere at this moment.

The queen empress knew that the palace banquet would not go on today, so she said to everyone with a serious face,
"Concubine Li Guifei ate too much wine for a while and lost her manners. Don't be alarmed. You and I have moved to the other side of the palace. Let the palace people clean up this place!"

Immediately leading the crowd to the side hall, everyone followed in shock. With the support of the palace maid, Mrs. Liu took her daughter-in-law to the side hall, leaving a mess for the palace people to clean.

When everyone arrived at the side hall, a court lady lifted up the stools and chairs and asked everyone to sit down. After the empress sat down, she regained her superficial composure and grace, and said to everyone again,
"Today Concubine Li just drank too much wine, lost her composure and became drunk for a while, but even though it was not her intention, she has lost the royal face. What happened today... Please be careful with your words!"

After that, he glanced at everyone sharply, and the meaning contained in it is that everyone understands that all the wives are not fools if they can get on this temple, and they all said at once,

"The imperial concubine is also happy during the New Year's Day, so it's okay!"

"Ok!"

After sweeping her eyes across the crowd, the empress nodded in satisfaction and said with a smile,
"Today, it seems that this feast is too much to eat, but I can't let you go back hungry. My palace has prepared some simple food in the imperial dining room. Please use it in the palace before leaving!"

"Thank you madam!"

Everyone got up to thank each other when they heard the words, so they sat there during the new year without a table, holding a bowl of white rice with two kinds of meat and vegetables in their hands, and ate a new year meal with a strange atmosphere, but it was still hot anyway During this period, the emperor sent someone over to inquire, but the empress just smiled and said,

"It's just that the noble concubine drank too much wine, so I asked her to rest in the palace's palace, so that His Majesty can rest assured that he will return him a whole noble concubine!"

The palace people went to report back, and then someone came in and whispered in the empress's ear, the empress's face changed, a cold light appeared in her eyes, and she sneered repeatedly,

"It's really vicious!"

While speaking, Mrs. Liu saw the empress's plain white hand tightly holding the porcelain bowl in her hand. The strength was so great that the veins on the back of her hand were protruding. However, the empress is always the empress. After taking a few deep breaths, She talked to everyone with her usual expression, but after the palace banquet was over, she intentionally left Liu's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law behind,
"Liu Shuren, I seem to be frightened when I saw your daughter-in-law earlier, please stay and let the imperial doctor check the pulse before leaving the palace!"

Mrs. Liu hurriedly knelt down to thank her, but she knew in her heart that she was afraid that the empress had something to say to her. After the crowd dispersed, Mrs. Guan was also led aside to be checked by the imperial doctor. The empress asked Mrs. Liu road,

"Did Liu Shuren see what she was holding?"

Mrs. Liu's heart skipped a beat when she heard the words, she nodded after thinking about it,

"If you go back to your mother, I have indeed seen it..."

The empress sighed, then turned her head and ordered,
"Bring the things here!"

Someone brought a tray in front of Liu Shi with both hands, and Liu Shi looked up, and saw that the armor on the top was that of Concubine Liu Gui.

"Look at this?"

Mrs. Liu didn't understand, so she reached out to take a piece of armor from the tray, only to feel that her hand was cold. This coldness was not caused by the cold outside, but the eerie chill from inside the armor. Taking a look on her hand, the blood on the armor was wiped off, and the runes were no longer obvious, so she quickly put the thing down,
"Your Majesty...it is indeed this..."

"Then can you see its origin and material?"

Mrs. Liu hesitated for a moment, and then said after considering,
"My wife can't see the origin and material of this thing, but I just find it very weird..."

The Queen sighed again.

"Of course you can't tell what it is, it's made of human bones!"

"Human bones!"

Liu's face changed color when she heard it, and suddenly felt that the right hand holding the armor seemed to be covered with worms. If the empress hadn't been in front of her, she would have rushed out to find a place to wash her hands. The empress looked at her involuntarily. Rubbing the back of his hand behind his back, he smiled softly and said,

"I haven't seen it before. I invited experienced old people in the palace to see it. They said that this thing had been seen in the previous court, and somehow it appeared in the palace again this time!"

Mrs. Liu's heart sank little by little when she heard the words, she knelt there and didn't dare to say much, but the Empress hummed,
"It is said that this thing came from the grassland and was made by the shaman of the previous dynasty. As long as you wear this thing and scratch someone, you can control the spirit of the scratched person. Seventy-nine days later, whatever Li Waner says, I will do!"

Seeing Liu's body tremble, she sneered and said,

"This is not the scariest thing. The scariest thing is that this palace is dead. After death, the three souls and seven souls will be included in the armor. They will be driven by the owner of the armor for a lifetime, and there will be no chance of reincarnation. !"

While talking, she beckoned the palace man to bring the tray over, picked one up and looked at it carefully,
"The darker this armor is, the more souls are absorbed on it. Look...it's as black as ink, and it's hard for Li Wan'er to bother to find it!"

This is how the courtiers and wives can be involved in the internal struggle of the palace. Liu Shi knelt there with a pale face, but she didn't dare to answer a word. She just lowered her head and looked at the ground in front of her knees. After a long time, she heard the empress say,
"This matter... I will report to the emperor later... At that time... if the emperor wants to ask you something, you can say whatever you want, you know?"

"……Yes!"

Mrs. Liu bowed her head in obedience, the queen nodded,
"Go ahead!"

Mrs. Liu got up and exited the hall. When the cold wind blew outside, she felt icy cold all over her body, and her underwear was already wet with sweat. She hurried back to the mansion, while Mrs. Guan was frightened before, Back in the mansion, she clutched her stomach and complained of pain. Mrs. Liu asked her to go back to her yard, and called the doctor to look at it.

Sitting here thinking about it, she felt that the two men in the mansion who could tell the story were not there, and the second daughter-in-law was pregnant again, so she couldn't be frightened anymore, and the second son, she didn't want him to know what was going on. Dangerous, after thinking about it, she felt full of uneasiness and could only talk to her eighth daughter-in-law.

Left and Right Lao Ba is now Jin Yiwei, and Lao Ba's wife has followed him, and I am afraid that such things will happen in the future!

She immediately called Si Lian to come over and talk about what happened in the palace today. Sure enough, the eighth daughter-in-law, despite her young age and low family background, had a really calm temper. She only frowned for a while when she heard about this matter, and then Soon he let go, and said to Liu Shi,

"Mother-in-law, this matter is related to the secrets of the palace, if you don't meet, you will meet, and panic and fear will not help..."

She thought for a while and said,
"Yi's daughter-in-law is a bit strange looking at Concubine Li Gui's madness... I think she is wearing the armor made of human bones with the intention of harming others, but I don't know if she is harming the queen..."

This matter came too urgently, Liu Shi was a little dazed for a while, but now she came to her senses and nodded after thinking about it,
"I also feel something is wrong... If Concubine Li Gui really wanted to harm the queen, why would she go crazy in public today, find an opportunity to get close to the queen, and after scratching the queen, wouldn't she have achieved her goal without anyone noticing it?" , why did she choose to act today..."

Silian nodded,

"Actually, once Concubine Li Gui goes crazy, this matter will fail, so my daughter-in-law feels that she is probably being bullied!"

Nowadays, people in the world believe in ghosts and gods, and Si Lian also believes in them. If it is said that there are toxins stored on them for unknown years, which makes the scratched people lose their sanity, she will believe it. For Concubine Li Gui to be obedient, that would be too much, Si Lian would never believe it!

This matter... probably because some people want to slander Concubine Li, maybe it would be better to bring the empress with them, and after killing two birds with one stone, someone will benefit later!

Liu nodded,

"But Concubine Li Gui can't escape harming people with the things of the former shaman. If this matter is really investigated, I don't know how many people will be brought in..."

Speaking of this place, I feel sad,

"I don't know what kind of bloody storm is in the palace today!"

Although Emperor Hongzhi was a benevolent and generous emperor, he would not be tolerant of such things!
Si Lian nodded, but sighed faintly and said,
"This matter...not only involves the harem, but I'm afraid the previous court will also be shaken..."

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, and they both thought of the prince's ambition and the emperor's unpredictable thoughts. Could it be... is this the beginning of the battle for the great treasure?
This year's New Year's Eve dinner, both Mou Bin and Mou Biao did not come back, so the matter of worshiping the ancestors was handed over to the second son, Mou Liang, and the brothers below. Hair and make-up, although they lead the big guys to celebrate the new year with a strong face and a smile, everyone can faintly feel that something is wrong. The New Year's Eve dinner is a bit depressing, and Silien is always silent, waiting until the meal is over, The Mou Liang brothers were clamoring to set off fireworks, so they looked a little festive!

Si Lian and the young ladies of the Mou family went up to the three-storey building in the backyard, looking at the fireworks everywhere in the city, especially the fireworks in the imperial city are the biggest and the most beautiful. road,
"Lao Ba's daughter-in-law, do you know that Lao Ba has something important and hasn't come back?"

Silian replied with a slight smile,
"There are a lot of things going on in the Fusi yamen in Beizhen. I heard from Ba Ye that every New Year's day there are drunken rioters and fights. They want to assist the city defense and patrol the various squares. Presumably they encountered such things. Get lost!"

Mou Xiuhui had heard of such things before, she nodded and muttered to herself,

"Father can't come back after entering the palace, and the eighth child is also entangled in things, why do you always feel something is wrong in your heart?"

Si Lian smiled without saying a word, but in her heart she was amazed at Miss Six's keenness. She looked in the direction of the imperial city,

"I don't know where Xiao Lin is now, and how is the matter in the palace investigated?"

During the Spring Festival of the 20th year of Hongzhi, people in Mou's house had their own thoughts, and on the first night of the first day of the lunar new year, the palace sent people to pick up Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Guan into the palace. Silien didn't know the news in Qingjingyuan, but Mama Wang After nightfall, he heard the movement there, so he hid himself and went to inquire, and came back to report to Siliandao,

"Young Madam, a young eunuch and a dozen guards came to the palace, drove a carriage, and summoned Madam and Second Young Madam!"

Si Lian raised her brows when she heard this, although there are a lot of noble ladies in Beijing who know about this matter, no matter how frantic the emperor is for the face of the royal family, he will not commit murder, but she will inevitably have to worry about it in her heart Liu Shi and Guan Shi are worried.

Now that she has married into the Mou Mansion, the Mou Mansion and her are both prosperous and hurt. If the two of them fail to deal with each other well and anger the emperor, it will be a disaster for the whole family!

And now Mou Biao has never come back, and I don't know what is going on in the palace now?
She was very upset, and she couldn't talk to anyone, so she could only hold it back. At night, Si Lian lay on the bed, sniffing the pillow that smelled of Mou Biao. When Guan came back, Mou Hu came back first.

"Young madam! Eighth Master asked me to come back to get some clothes, saying that I will be in the palace for a few days..."
