Donggong Zhangjiao

The commotion in Yichun Palace was quite noisy, and naturally the news was heard in other places.

Concubine Jin and Concubine Song made an appointment to come to Yuzhang Palace for tea, and they all started talking about this matter.

Concubine Jin was particularly excited about such gossip, and she recounted the news she had learned while eating melon seeds.

"You don't know that many people in Yichun Palace were frightened and sick. Two eunuchs among them said that they were possessed by ghosts or possessed by ghosts. They wanted to catch the ghosts, but they almost beat each other to death. Tsk tsk , if it hadn’t happened, Concubine Wan would probably not have gone to Baohua Hall to seek help from the mage. But now that I think about it, the talismans didn’t work anymore. Concubine Wan was awakened by nightmares every night, and she was scared out of her mind. No, she just went there again. I've been to Baohua Palace, and I find it strange. It's not like Mr. Qiu died in vain, so why do you come back to haunt people?"

"Who says you die in vain to haunt others? Qiu was so ambitious during her lifetime that she wished she could take away all the queen's phoenix thrones. Later, she was thrown into the cold palace and died like this. She must not have been willing to accept it. During her lifetime, she I have the worst relationship with Concubine Wan. Now that she is too resentful and she is back again, Concubine Wan will definitely be the first one to make trouble."

Song Bin took a sip of tea and expressed her opinion.

"Anyway, it's none of our business. Concubine Wan is not a quiet person. I have been taking care of the affairs of the Sixth Palace with her these days, and I have been annoyed by her a lot." Concubine Jin snorted.

After hearing this, Song Concubine smiled and said, "Now that she is busy exorcising evil spirits, she may not have the energy to go against you, sister."

Hearing this, Concubine Jin also laughed, picked up the tea cup and took a sip.

Then he looked at Fang Yun and said, "Has the imperial concubine ever heard of these things? Now that you are raising a fetus, the servants around you may not dare to talk about such unlucky and evil things."

"It is true that I have never said it in such detail. I only know that Concubine Wan went to Baohua Palace a few times. I did not expect such evil things. I have never believed in the theory of strange powers and gods, but I will listen to you now. It’s so ridiculous to say that I can’t believe it at all.”

Fang Yun shook his fan, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"Well, that's all we're afraid of. The noble concubine doesn't have to worry. Not to mention that the emperor often comes to Yuzhang Palace. You are protected by the dragon's energy. Furthermore, if you are pregnant and have the fetal god sitting in charge, there are no evils. Intrusion." Concubine Jin comforted her.

Fang Yun smiled and said, "To put it this way, I really don't have to be afraid. But speaking of it, Concubine Wan has made such a fuss that outsiders know about it. She didn't even say anything about asking a mage to ward off evil spirits."

"Most people still don't believe in this monster. She has always been good-looking. She is naturally afraid of being embarrassed when word spreads like this. She is also afraid that the emperor will say that she is superstitious about ghosts and gods." Song Bin said.

"That's right. The Queen is currently taking care of the fifth prince and doesn't care about the affairs of the harem. Otherwise, if we go to pay greetings to the Queen every day, we can also have a look at Concubine Wan."

Concubine Jin sighed, and finally asked with a frown.

"I don't know what kind of illness the fifth prince has. I heard that he is still energetic enough to fly kites with the palace maids and eunuchs. Why doesn't he come out to see others? In the past, the queen valued the fifth prince's studies. He hasn't gone to school for half a year. It’s over.”

Concubine Song also nodded and followed, "I did some inquiry and it was said that when the fifth prince fell into the lake last year, the cold hurt his body and left the root of the disease. It didn't show up when the weather was hot, and the weather in winter When it gets cold, it will induce the root cause of the disease and become more serious. The disease will go away like a string of silkworms, so you have to take good care of it."

This statement can be fooled to the outside world.

But Fang Yun naturally didn't believe it all.

But even if she had doubts, she didn't say anything and just followed the instructions.

"Raising a child is the most difficult thing. Ji'er was very weak when he was born. I have been cautious all these years. I really understand the queen. Speaking of which, the third prince was also very weak when he first went to your place."

"Yes, fortunately the child is obedient and sensible, and has been raised well over the years." Concubine Song said with a gentle look on her face.

Several people chatted all morning, and when lunch was approaching, Concubine Jin and Concubine Song left.

It's not that Fang Yun doesn't allow them to eat. The ladies in the palace don't have to worry about food and clothing. The food prepared in the palace is what they like, so why eat elsewhere according to other people's appetites.

This is all gossip. In Yuzhang Palace, after Concubine Jin and Concubine Song left, Fang Yun called Qingrong and Yanwei over.

"Yichun Palace has been keeping an eye on it, but have you noticed anything strange?" "No." Qingrong answered first, "Similar to the empress, I began to suspect that someone was pretending to be a ghost, but no evidence was found at all."

Yan Wei also nodded, "Concubine Wan is cautious. We don't have any informants in Yichun Palace. We are just watching from the outside. The situation inside is indeed unclear, but what Concubine Jin said today is true. Now in Yichun Everyone in the palace has been disturbed, and only the Sixth Princess is fine."

"In other words, except for the sixth princess who was not affected, everyone else has become a ghost?"

Fang Yun raised his eyes to look at the two of them, his beautiful eyes turned, and then he murmured.

"It's not necessarily just pretending to be a ghost. Sometimes, hallucinogenic drugs and someone pretending to be a ghost can also be fake."

Qingrong looked serious, "Mother, do you suspect that someone has done something in Yichun Palace?"

"It's just suspicion, there is no evidence." Fang Yun waved his hand, "It's none of my business anyway, just treat it as a good show."

Hearing this, the two maids nodded and said no more.

And that night, Concubine Wan couldn't sleep peacefully with her pillow given by the master to ward off ghosts and evil spirits.

When I woke up from the bed, I screamed and sat up suddenly. My whole face was pale and I was covered in cold sweat, as if I had been fished out of the water.

Yuetao heard the sound and hurriedly came in from outside and lit the candlestick.

"My dear, my dear, what's wrong with you?"

"It wasn't me who caused the harm. It wasn't me. Why did you come to me? Why?!"

Concubine Wan didn't seem to have fully woken up from the nightmare. She stared at her eyes and talked to herself, her face full of panic.

"Your Majesty, my slave is here. No one dares to harm you. Your Majesty, look at this slave. This slave is Yuetao, Your Majesty." Yuetao hurriedly came over.

He took Concubine Wan into his arms, took out a handkerchief to wipe her sweat, and patted her back gently.

After a long time, Concubine Wan regained her composure and leaned on Yuetao's shoulder with a look of exhaustion on her face.

"I, I dreamed about Mrs. Xie."

Hearing this, Yuetao was stunned for a moment, and then thought about it before remembering Mr. Xie.

At that time, Concubine Wan instigated and guided the Xie family to kill people with smallpox. She originally thought that Fang Yun and the fourth prince would do it, but she never thought that she would harm Concubine Song and the second princess. The second princess still has a scar the size of a fingernail on her forehead, which is because she contracted smallpox. What's left behind.

But Xie has been dead for a long time.

"Don't be afraid, Madam. It's none of your business that Mr. Are you okay?" Yuetao said softly.

Concubine Wan nodded and left Yuetao alone.

However, as soon as Yuetao left the inner room, Concubine Wan saw a dark shadow flash past the window, and then the window suddenly opened. The cool night breeze blew in, and Concubine Wan, who was covered in cold sweat, shivered immediately.

When she boldly walked to the window to check the situation, a grimace with bleeding from all its orifices suddenly appeared, as if it was about to stick to her face. No matter how brave Concubine Wan was, she couldn't withstand this sudden move. .

With a scream, he fell straight down.
