Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

"So what are you going to do? Persuade them? It doesn't seem to work... As far as I know, there are not many people in the court who have a good relationship with the Liao family, not to mention that you suggested that those noble families were forced to donate tens of thousands of taels of silver. How can they help you when they hate you so much?"

"Only Master Li and a few other great scholars are willing to help you."

Although Keqing is famous, such fame was accumulated at the expense of the interests of the aristocratic families, and those who support her are powerless common people and scholars.

Sugar, salt, paper, these are all sources of income for the aristocratic families, and they are all huge profits. However, these have all become the achievements of the girl in front of him, while the aristocratic families have suffered heavy losses.

Zhou Xin has seen many secret confrontations in the past few years. Many people wanted to kill the girl in front of him, but they were all resolved one by one by the girl.

Even the emperor had the idea of ​​turning the girl into a prisoner in the palace and using her for his own benefit.

I wonder what will happen this time.

"Don't worry about that. I have my own way."

Keqing handled the situation with ease and looked calm and composed.

"Then I won't bother you anymore. It seems I'm worrying too much."

Seeing the girl so confident, Zhou Xin didn't say much. He knew that the other party was very powerful, more powerful than he imagined, otherwise she wouldn't have let those people suffer such a big loss and still survive.

Patting his sleeves, Zhou Xin left immediately.

As he left, the gazes hidden in the dark around him also faded away a little.

Ever since the rumor spread that the emperor was going to marry her, there were more and more spies around her. Keqing could feel their inquiring gazes on her.

Among these people are the emperor's men, people from aristocratic families, and people from various concubines in the palace.

After all, the position of Queen is too important, and everyone is watching it. The Emperor had not had this idea before, and even used this position to whet the appetite of many people and plan things to consolidate his position, which would have been fine.

But who would be willing to give it to others like this?

No one wants this position to fall on a little girl, and if this news gets out, I'm afraid it's also the work of the emperor...

I'm afraid that person also wants to see the attitude of the aristocratic families, and which other aristocratic families are ambitious about coveting his harem.

Instead, he became a chess piece, the chess piece between the aristocratic family and the emperor.

"Wait, what kind of incense is this?"

Keqing asked, smelling the fragrance between her nostrils.

The maid who was changing the incense was startled and quickly replied respectfully:

"Princess Ke, this is the bamboo incense that the palace specially replaced for you. It has the effect of clearing your mind."

Keqing took the incense burner and sniffed it. It smelled really good.

There is nothing wrong with smelling the fragrance of bamboo alone, but unfortunately, if it is mixed with other fragrances, it will be bad for the body and cause vomiting and dizziness.

Putting down the incense burner, Keqing told the maid to call in the guard Wang who was on duty outside.

But a moment later, a tall and sturdy guard wearing silver soft armor hurried in:

"My Lord, when have you been looking for me?"

At the same time, a maidservant reported that Doctor Zhang had arrived.

Keqing responded and let him in. A moment later, a middle-aged man hurriedly came to Keqing carrying a medicine box.

"Lord Wang, you are here too..."

"Ah, Doctor Zhang, you...are here again..."

The two looked at each other, feeling helpless as to how could trouble arise again.

Why say again? Because this is their eighth time here.

The first time was when someone poisoned a dish and the princess discovered it. After testing, it was found to be arsenic, and it was pure arsenic that could not be detected by a silver needle. Unexpectedly, the princess discovered it.

The second time was when the princess found a voodoo doll in the palace. The emperor’s name and birth date were written on the back of the doll. Someone actually tried to use this to frame the princess. Fortunately, the monarch discovered it in advance and notified the guards. It happened that the emperor came at this time. It was really a coincidence.

When the voodoo doll was discovered, the emperor was furious and immediately conducted a thorough investigation. He also rewarded Princess Ke with a large amount of treasures as a consolation.

The third time was when some diseased foreign object was found under the pillow.

The fourth time, someone sneaked in and buried something in the soil of the flowers and plants in the garden, and it turned out to be some kind of limb.

Now is the eighth time, and Doctor Wang has come five times. Every time he heard Huifangyuan coming to see him, he knew that something strange had happened again.

Poisoning, framing, harming, and even rumors.

Jun Miao encountered so many things in just fifteen days after entering Huifangyuan.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have died long ago, after all, it is difficult to defend against so many methods. However, they are not targeting ordinary people, but Keqing, who is known as the lucky star and the princess Ke who is like a god incarnate.

Although people don't really believe in the saying of lucky stars, after all, the ancients said that they were superstitious, and that they were not superstitious, especially those who were educated, who basically did not believe in the sayings of gods and Buddhas.

Only the ignorant people, who have little knowledge and understanding of the truth, and whose economic situation is weak, will capsize if a big storm comes. Therefore, they have to pin everything on the illusory gods and Buddhas.

Therefore, very few people from aristocratic families are superstitious, which is why Keqing, despite having such a reputation, was framed in such a way.

However, who could have thought that Keqing was so lucky. Not only was she smart, but she was also able to avoid all their schemes and plots. Others were also wondering in their hearts, could it be that Keqing was really the reincarnation of a lucky star? How could she be so lucky?

Faced with other people's actions to attack her, Keqing naturally would not wait to be set up, but would counterattack them one by one.

"Excuse me, Imperial Doctor Zhang and Guard Wang."

"My Lord, you are too kind. This is our duty."

Doctor Zhang skillfully picked up the sachet and incense burner handed to him by Keqing, sniffed them carefully, and a look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"This is a special kind of incense poison. The poison in this incense burner is made by Moranhua. Moranhua incense is very similar to bamboo, and both have the effect of clearing the mind and improving eyesight. The incense contains the powdered gallbladder of Moranhua's companion snake."

"This kind of snake is called Mo snake. Its blood can treat some special diseases and has the effect of replenishing yang and transforming yin. The snake gallbladder has a special aroma after being dried and ground, which can soothe the mind."

As an experienced imperial physician, Imperial Doctor Zhang could quickly identify the ingredients of both. He frowned slightly:

"However, the mixture of these two scents will produce a special poisonous gas that can cause people to vomit and faint, and in severe cases, even die from dehydration. The person behind this is truly vicious."

It is true that some scents are poisonous, but toxins that are a mixture of two special scents are extremely rare, not to mention that this Moranhua flower is very rare, so this kind of poison is even rarer. I didn't expect that someone would use it on the princess. If it were someone else, they would have suffered a disaster long ago.

but……

"Has the princess ever studied medicine? She can actually tell that the mixture of these two incenses is poisonous."

"I haven't learned it, but I felt something was wrong when the incense burner started to rise, so I made a guess and called Doctor Zhang."

In fact, she saw the special smell produced by the mixture of the two aromatherapy scents, and as soon as she inhaled that smell, she realized that it was harmful to the body. Only then did she realize that mixing the two types of incense was harmful to the body.

"So that's how it is. The princess is indeed a blessed person, blessed by God..."

Doctor Zhang was somewhat convinced that Princess Ke might really be the reincarnation of the lucky star, otherwise how could she have avoided the schemes of the people behind the scenes time and time again.

Guard Wang at the side also quickly collected the two pieces of evidence.

"Don't worry, Princess. I will report this to His Majesty right away. He will definitely make the decision for you.

In charge? Didn't he acquiesce to this? Otherwise, how could these things come in?

Keqing didn't think that the emperor didn't even have basic control over his own palace, otherwise he would have died before she was poisoned.

There is only one possibility for this to happen now, and that is that person acquiesced.

Why did they acquiesce? The reason was nothing more than that they were trying to remove the nails from the palace. Let's see the attitudes of those noble families.

I want to measure whether this lucky star of mine is really that lucky.

There may be other reasons, but it is impossible to say that there are no ideas for the reasons mentioned above. The one who can become the emperor must have a thousand eyes in his mind.

Although she thought so in her heart, Keqing did not show it on her face. Since she grew up, her temperament has become much calmer. Unlike when she was a child, although she knew many things in her mind, her overall performance was lively and clever, with a child's innocence and immaturity.

"Then I'll trouble Guard Wang."

"My Lord, I will take my leave now."

Guard Wang quickly left, and Doctor Zhang checked Keqing's pulse and found nothing wrong, so he left as well.

"Mom, I don't like it here..."

The little silver dragon came out of the sleeve uncomfortably and rubbed Keqing's wrist.

"Hmm? Why?"

Keqing poked her head.

"There are other similar smells in here, as well as the smell of death. I feel very uncomfortable..."

The little silver dragon blinked its big eyes and said aggrievedly, holding Keqing's fingers with its chicken-like claws and rubbing them.

Keqing knew that the little guy was a dragon, and she also knew that she had an extraordinary origin and might not be from this world.

The same kind of aura, could it be... also a dragon...

Are there other dragons in this world?

But isn’t this world very ordinary and it’s impossible for there to be dragons?

Keqing thought so and asked, but got another answer from the little silver dragon.

After the explanation, Keqing realized that she was not talking about a real dragon, but dragon energy.

"It is said that His Majesty is the true dragon emperor, and the imperial mausoleum is located on the land of dragon veins. Can ordinary dynasties really gather dragon energy?"

Keqing didn't think much about it and just told the little silver dragon to leave soon.

After all, she was tired of this. Her plan was not to stay in the palace, but to leave here, or even leave the capital, and set her sights on going to other places.

Keqing knew that she was very lucky, and she also knew that it was all thanks to the little silver dragon. It is said that dragons are auspicious, and wherever they go, there will be good weather and good harvests.

The auspiciousness has now subtly blessed the capital city, and now she wants to make this auspiciousness and blessing even greater, for example, Tongzhou Prefecture, her fiefdom.

Thinking of this, Keqing's eyes were determined, it was time.

Keqing took out a piece of paper, folded a few little people, and drew some simple eyes and lines with a brush.

Slender white fingers stretched out from the sleeves, and they made hand gestures in the air. The ten fingers danced quickly in the air like a dream, like the blooming of a night-blooming cereus.

The accumulated strength in his body was drawn out, gathered in front of him, and penetrated into the thumb-sized paper man.

In just a moment, a layer of hazy light appeared on the little man's body, as if he was alive. The originally dead eyes became lively, and then he stood up unsteadily, shook his sleeves, and waved his little hands.

"You guys go ahead..."

Keqing said softly, and the little man nodded heavily, then floated down through the window and soon disappeared.

Chapter 530: Bad Luck (1 more)

Ever since her fame rose, the white power had become more and more, changing from white mist to a condensed liquid effect. Although it was not much, Keqing was able to use that power to perform some special spells.

It's like it's innate, and I learned how to use it naturally.

However, since her strength was too little, she could only use it to attach herself to the paper figures and perform simple operations.

"Then we just have to wait."

Keqing doesn't need these paper figures to do anything. She just needs these guys to create problems in the palace according to her wishes.

After all, didn't Zhiquan say that he was a lucky star and the palace simply couldn't bear too much of his blessings? If that was the case, he had to produce some results to be more convincing.

There was a sly glint in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth curved slightly.

……

Soon, some strange but unfortunate things happened in many places in the palace. For example, some concubines fell down while walking, and the originally well-behaved pets suddenly became irritable and knocked over many precious vases. People would have tree branches or bird droppings fall on their heads while walking, and even at night when they were sleeping, they could hear strange squeaking sounds like gnawing.

Some people even saw a black figure on the window, like some kind of ghost staring at them through the slightly opened window, causing countless screams.

"Ghost!!!"

For a time, people in the palace were in panic and uneasy.

It would be fine if it was just one person, but from the beauties to the concubines and the empress dowager, everyone found themselves becoming unlucky, and there were unknown beings lurking behind them, and they couldn't help but feel creepy.

At one time, various monks and Taoists were summoned to the palace one after another to exorcise evil spirits, preach and chant scriptures.

The entire palace suddenly became sensitive.

In particular, they suddenly discovered that this phenomenon became more and more serious as they got closer to the Emperor, and the frequency of encountering the Emperor dropped drastically.

"Wang De, what on earth is going on..."

Even the emperor noticed that something seemed strange. Why did his concubine look pale recently, as if she had not slept well? Moreover, someone would call for the imperial physician from time to time, and even the monks in the palace came and went more and more frequently.

Seeing myself is like seeing a ghost.

The emperor is not fond of women and does not go to the harem very often. For example, he has been busy reviewing memorials these days.
