Chapter 122 The opportunity has come
What the eunuch was holding in his hands was actually a lucky bag.

The lucky bag is made of red brocade and has the word "Fu" embroidered on it.

But this lucky bag is bulging, and it seems that there is something inside.

Mu Congshuang frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:
"Open it!"

The eunuch hurriedly opened the lucky bag and took out a peace amulet from it.

Mu Congshuang took the amulet and unfolded it. It was indeed an ordinary amulet for praying for people.

The only strange thing is that the objects of blessing on the amulet are actually the emperor and the empress.

Concubine Zhang finally explained:
"I didn't realize that the Spring Festival is coming soon, so I went to the Big Buddha Temple two days ago to pray for Your Majesty and Your Highness the Queen."

"This lucky bag and amulet were prayed for by the abbot of the Big Buddha Temple. He specifically instructed me to bury them in the ground. This will help the gods sense them and bring good luck to the person being prayed for."

"I think this matter is my fault for not explaining it clearly to everyone, so outsiders accidentally saw it and caused misunderstandings."

"All the faults are mine, please punish me, Your Highness."

When Concubine Zhang said this, she looked like she was willing to accept punishment and let herself be dealt with.

Her expression was sincere and genuine, as if everything she had just said came from the heart.

Mu Congshuang was slightly moved.

This Big Buddha Temple is a royal temple, built and supported by the royal family.

Every year, royal relatives would go there to pay homage and pray.

The lucky bag obtained by praying from it naturally has nothing to do with witchcraft.

What's more, the objects of this blessing are the emperor and Mu Congshuang himself.

Mu Congshuang glanced at a eunuch beside him.

The eunuch whispered:

"Your Highness, this is indeed the blessing bag and amulet from the Big Buddha Temple. There is nothing wrong with the contents of the amulet."

Mu Congshuang nodded slightly.

At this time.

The rest of the eunuchs who were searching also returned one after another.

"Your Highness, we have searched Changchun Palace thoroughly and found nothing suspicious."

The eunuchs reported the situation.

Mu Congshuang's frosty face finally relaxed at this moment.

She said to Concubine Zhang:

"It's rare that you have this kind of heart."

"It seems that this is indeed a misunderstanding."

"However, someone exaggerated the story due to a misunderstanding and even brought it to my attention, forcing me to come here in person to verify it."

"Don't worry, Concubine. I will handle this matter fairly and will not tolerate any leniency."

Anger welled up in Mu Congshuang's eyes.

However, this anger was not directed at Concubine Zhang, but at someone else.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Zhang hurriedly bowed:

"Hearing these words from Her Majesty, I naturally feel at ease."

Mu Congshuang nodded slightly, exchanged a few simple greetings, and then did not stay any longer.

She led a group of palace maids and eunuchs out of Changchun Palace, got on the phoenix carriage and left completely.

When Concubine Zhang saw the Queen leave, she sat lazily on the chair.

At this moment, she no longer looked as innocent as before.

Instead, her beautiful eyes were filled with coldness:
"I know without you telling me that it must be that bitch Lipin who wants to frame me!"

"I was wondering why she suddenly visited me a few days ago and brought a bunch of novelties with her to attract my attention."

"It turns out that she was secretly doing something bad!"

The palace maids and eunuchs who served her also gathered around her, and each of them breathed a sigh of relief.

If something happened to their master, Concubine Zhang, then they, the servants, would probably be implicated as well.

Fortunately, they had already dug out the Paulownia doll and burned it.

After using a lucky bag to switch things up, not only did she get Concubine Zhang out of trouble, but she also gained the Queen's favor.

At this time, Concubine Zhang looked at a pretty little palace maid beside her with her beautiful eyes.

This young palace maid was recommended by Hu Shangyi to serve Concubine Zhang a few days ago.

Her name is Su Lian.

At first, Concubine Zhang thought that this little palace maid was silly and not smart at all, and she was quite disgusted with her.

But unexpectedly, the paulownia wood doll buried in Changchun Palace was discovered by this little palace maid.

If it weren't for this little palace maid, Concubine Zhang would probably have encountered disaster this time.

"Could it be that... fools have good fortune?"

Concubine Zhang looked at Su Lian and felt incredible in her heart.

She originally planned to keep Su Lian for a while, give face to Hu Shangyi, and then drive Su Lian away.

But now Concubine Zhang discovered that Su Lian seemed to be able to bring her good fortune.

This made Concubine Zhang change her mind and she decided to keep Su Lian for a while longer.

Immediately, Concubine Zhang spoke to everyone:
"I'll make this a point for you all. Don't bully Su Lian anymore."

"Su Lian has made a great contribution this time, so you should all be nice to her."

The eunuchs and palace maids looked at each other in bewilderment. If Concubine Zhang had not expressed her dislike for Su Lian in front of everyone many times, how could these servants deliberately bully Su Lian?
However, the eunuchs and palace maids naturally did not dare to say this out loud.

All they can do is claim to be.

…………

the other side.

Chengqian Palace.

Compared to the deserted Changchun Palace, Chengqian Palace is naturally much more lively, with a constant stream of visitors.

The reason is very simple. Concubine Han, the owner of Chengqian Palace, is now favored by the emperor.

But today.

Concubine Han was not in a good mood.

She was enjoying the kiwis shipped from the south, but her good mood was disturbed by a eunuch.

The eunuch ran over and whispered a few words to Concubine Han.

Upon hearing this, Concubine Han immediately became furious:
"what?!"

"The Queen only found a blessing bag in Changchun Palace that was for her and the Emperor?"

"How did you handle this?"

"Didn't I vow to make that bitch completely obliterated? Now, that bitch is actually trying to take advantage of this opportunity to turn things around."

"I went to look for you, Concubine Li, and you were the one who handled everything. And now you've made it like this for me?"

"Trash! It's all trash!"

As Concubine Han spoke, she picked up the plate of kiwis and threw it hard at the eunuch.

Accompanied by a muffled sound.

The eunuch's forehead was cut and blood was flowing out.

But he could only kneel respectfully, not daring to complain at all.

Everyone knows that Concubine Han has a bad temper.

This kind of thing has long been commonplace in Chengqian Palace.

Just when Concubine Han was furious.

A young eunuch stood up:

"Your Majesty, please calm down."

"It's not like this matter is irreversible."

Upon hearing this, Concubine Han looked coldly at the young eunuch who stood up and spoke.

Normally, when she gets angry, no one dares to interrupt.

This young eunuch is new. Is he going to take advantage of his new status to pretend that he doesn't know the rules?
Concubine Han sneered and was about to get furious.

The young eunuch had already spoken:
"I heard that although the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple is a Buddhist disciple, he does not abide by the Buddhist precepts."

"Not only did he amass wealth, he also took advantage of his position as the abbot of a royal temple to seize private land."

"Since Concubine Zhang's lucky bag was brought to him in exchange for blessings, perhaps Concubine Zhang has close ties with the host and is possibly in cahoots with him."

The anger that Concubine Han was about to ignite disappeared instantly at this moment.

Her eyes sparkled with excitement.

The abbot of the Big Buddha Temple is indeed a good direction of attack.

If the host falls, then the lucky bag that Concubine Zhang prayed for would become a great irony and joke.

Concubine Han immediately asked the new eunuch:

"Zhao Bao, are you sure about this?"

Zhao Bao replied:

"In reply to your Majesty, I have already obtained some evidence that the abbot of the Great Buddha Temple has committed a crime."

"But if we hand this evidence directly to the Censorate, it will hardly have the desired effect, so we still need the cooperation of the father-in-law."

"I heard that the father-in-law has many connections in the Censorate."

"How this case will be handled, how it will be handled, and who will be involved are all under the control of the Empress."

After hearing this, Concubine Han finally nodded with satisfaction.

She naturally knew that her father was never idle and was always outside the palace trying to win over various forces for him.

Now if Zhao Baozhen has solid evidence, then this will be feasible.

Even if there is no definite evidence, it doesn't matter. With Han Guozhang's power, he can also make use of the issue to make use of it.

Even if the case cannot be proven, it will definitely damage Concubine Zhang's reputation and make it more difficult for her to gain a foothold in the harem.

Concubine Han immediately made a decision:
"Okay! Zhao Bao, I'll leave this matter to you."

"As long as you do it well, I will reward you handsomely!"

She didn't care where Zhao Bao got the evidence of the abbot of the Big Buddha Temple embezzling money.

In order to gain her favor, many palace servants tried their best to please her by showing off their special abilities.

Concubine Han only cares about the harem, and there will never be anyone who can rival her.

Her ultimate goal is to be the queen!
"Thank you for your trust, Madam!"

"I will definitely live up to your Majesty's high expectations!"

Zhao Bao bowed respectfully.

But he was also excited.

He knew that his chance to show his talent had finally come!
