Chapter 182 The Deadly Wooden Sign
Guipin Wu was stunned and frowned: "What is written on the sign?"
He looked at her hesitantly, and Tang said, "The noble concubine of Wu's family is famous for Qinlan. She will fall into her son for three months, so she will suffer the debt of evil."
The Empress Dowager was startled and Concubine Wu turned pale: "How could there be such a thing? Have you brought it back?"
"Why did the concubine dare to bring it back? After asking for a long time, I realized that the queen's boudoir name was Qinlan, exactly the same as the one on the wooden sign. With the word "Niang", I dared to enter the palace to speak." Tang said: "Not many people should know the queen's boudoir name."
Hua Chun frowned and wondered who was so bold that he would curse the current noble concubines in the City God Temple? Aren’t you afraid that your handwriting will be recognized?
As a result, Tang said, "I think that the person who did such a thing must be the people in the palace. To know the name of the Empress, you must check the palace list. The Empress and the Empress Dowager can check it. If you check the list of concubines, you can know who is suspected."
My heart sank, and Hua Chun glanced at Tang.
She didn't know if others checked the harem roster, but when she came to the palace, she asked Eunuch Qin to take the harem roster to see. If she really had to check this way, wouldn't it be sooner or later that she would find her head?
I always think it should be a coincidence, but it is a bit weird. My second brother said that Tang is not his person, so this person should not be very kind to her, right? Should she be more careful?
"The Queen Mother."
The people in the hall were silent, but Yuejian came back from outside, followed by a monk, who seemed to have a high level of Taoism, and seemed to have seen him somewhere.
"I am aware of etiquette and have met the Queen Mother."
As soon as he saw him coming, the queen mother folded her hands together and frowned and said, "Please show Prince Wu Guipin to see if there is something dirty that shocked the fetus?"
"Amitabha." Zhili recited the Buddha's name seriously and walked up to him.
After looking carefully, Hua Chun remembered that this old monk in his fifties was the one whom the emperor asked her to show her face before? He also said that she was going to have two children. It didn't seem very reliable, because it wouldn't be clear that she was a time traveler, and she couldn't even tell her that she was a woman. Can such a monk tell fortunes?
However, this posture is very terrifying.
Monk Zhili was also a little broken inside. He was a monk responsible for rituals. Why do people in the royal family like to ask him to see these divine things? But they still had to read them, and they had to pretend to understand them!
"The Concubine Yin Tang was a little black." After watching for a while, he began to make a fool of himself: "It should be that he was plagued by bad luck, just do a ritual."
The focus of his intention was to do rituals, but when he heard the four words "Doom plague", Guipin Wu immediately knelt down to the empress dowager like he was stepped on his tail.
"Did you hear it? I am really cursed behind my back and am full of misfortune! The Empress Dowager, even if you are not for the concubine, but only for the children in the concubine's belly, Concubine De's paper bird and the wooden signs of the City God Temple, you must check it out!"
The queen mother frowned, looked at Hua Chun, and handed Zhili the thousand paper cranes on the table: "Master, look, does the bad luck in Wu Guipin have anything to do with this?"
Zhili paused, took it and took a look at it randomly, thinking that a noble concubine was going to frame Concubine De. If he helped him speak, what if he offended Concubine De? Anyway, he couldn't understand it, so he helped him with a high position.
So he said, "It doesn't matter, this paper crane is pure and exquisite, it carries good wishes, and has nothing to do with bad luck."
Hua Chun breathed a sigh of relief. Even though she knew he was confused, she couldn't help but thank him. This is luck, and she won't be destroyed!
Concubine Wu was stunned and frowned and said, "Master is sure? These paper-folded items are for the dead!"
"Mencius does not lie." Zhili said: "The paper folded things may not be given to the dead. This paper crane is exquisite and can also be kept for fun."
Concubine Wu stopped talking, and Tang also frowned and glanced at the monk.
The Empress Dowager breathed a sigh of relief and smiled and said to Concubine Wu: "That's the mistake of Concubine De. All the roots should be on the wooden sign. The Ai family will send someone to check who wrote the wooden sign and then make the decision for you."
After looking at Hua Chun, Concubine Wu responded reluctantly, and hugged her stomach and wailed again. The Empress Dowager was so scared that she quickly asked the imperial doctor to come and then sent the Zhili monk out.
"It's really interesting." Hua Chun sneered and looked at Tang Shi and said, "There should be several big trees in the place like the City God Temple. You can actually see Concubine Wu at a glance."
Tang paused, pursed his lips and said, "It's indeed a coincidence."
The Empress Dowager waved her hand: "Concubine De, you don't have to care about this matter. The Ai family will ask someone to investigate. You can give birth to a baby, so that the Ai family can save some fun."
"Yes." Hua Chun responded and stepped back obediently.
"I see that Concubine Wu is coming for you. Fortunately, Master Zhili can see through it." Rui'er held her hand and muttered in a low voice: "It's considered to have escaped a disaster. I don't know who is so afraid of death and has written such a brand."
"There are many people who have left the palace to visit relatives recently. Anyone can do it. As long as it is not our business, it's fine." Hua Chun yawned: "Go back and rest. If you have to bear it for another two days, the emperor should come back."
"Yes." Rui'er nodded, helped her into the side hall, and closed the door.
Tang left Huiming Palace and went directly to Hua Xunyue. The gate was closed and no one knew what was talking about inside. But after a while, Concubine Shu also went in, and then it was Concubine Xu.
It is rare that a group of people who are usually incompatible will gather together today.
The people from the Empress Dowager's mission quickly left the palace, went to the Chenghuang Temple for a while, and found the sign. Then, I didn't know what method I used, so I quickly caught the person who wrote the sign.
"There is news." Rui'er ran in and said to Hua Chun, "The person who was desperate was caught. He was a woman. The Queen Mother was hiring him into the palace for interrogation."
"So fast?" Hua Chun raised his eyebrows and muttered: "It's as fast as the arrangement."
Ruier laughed softly: "What about them, let's wait and see the show."
"That's right." Hua Chun nodded, rubbed his legs, changed into a thicker jacket, and prepared to go to the main hall to wait for people to enter the palace.
Concubine Wu didn't know what was wrong. After wailing for a long time, she fell into a coma. She was so scared that the Empress Dowager sat in the main hall and did not move, so that Zhili could also hold a ritual outside to pray for blessings.
It was already evening when the flower spring passed, and the Queen Mother didn't even eat dinner, and she muttered while holding Buddhist beads.
"How is Concubine Wu?" she asked.
Aunt Yuejian next to her whispered: "The imperial doctor said it was a bit serious, and the cause could not be found, but there were signs of miscarriage."
Abortion? Hua Chun was startled and hurriedly reached out to put his hand around his stomach.
Yuejian was amused by her reaction and then said, "But with the imperial medical insurance, there should be no major problems, just to have a good care of the child."
"It's useless to raise your head. Who curses the grandson of the Ai family behind his back? The Ai family must chop off his head!" The empress dowager opened her eyes, her eyes full of anger: "He was so vicious!"
Hua Chun nodded. If someone really cursed, he should have caught the cursed person.
Just as he was thinking, the palace servant outside reported: "The Queen Mother, I have brought it."
"Bring in!" A roar scared Hua Chun and staggered. Yuejian quickly helped her aside and sat down.
The palace servant outside the door dragged a woman in. She looked a little embarrassed and her hair was scattered. I guess she struggled a lot during the process of catching her.
But, this figure looks so familiar.
"Empress Dowager, the civilian woman is wronged!" A loud voice resounded throughout Huiming Palace. Hua Chun was stunned. Looking at her raised face, her whole head was "booming" and it instantly turned blank.
It turned out to be Wanshi?!
The Queen Mother also paused and saw that she looked familiar: "You?"
"The civilian woman is the biological mother of Prime Minister Hua." Wan said quickly: "These people arrested the civilian woman without any discrimination. The civilian woman had no idea what she had committed!"
Taking a deep breath, Hua Chun tried hard to control her urge to stand up and said with a low smile: "Can't you catch the wrong person?"
The Empress Dowager was also a little confused and looked at the guard next to him. The guard bowed: "I have asked the witnesses of the Chenghuang Temple and compared the handwriting. It is indeed a wooden sign written by this lady. Please check it out."
