Chapter 36:

    There is a witch in the palace.

    No matter what dynasty or generation, this is a big taboo. Any concubines who use this thing to harm others, no matter how favored they are and how illustrious their family background is, can't escape death.

    This is the most serious sin in the palace.

    And what happened today actually happened to the prince. The prince used witchcraft to curse his concubine, and he was still his nominal mother concubine. This kind of sinister thing happened in the royal family. Once it got out, it would put the royal family's face on the ground.

    As soon as I heard Dian Cui's words, the expressions of Emperor Qingping and Concubine Shu changed.

    Concubine Shu was shocked and blurted out: "How is it possible! Where did you find it?"

    The Emperor Qingping showed an unbelievable expression on his face, and then he became furious, stood up from his seat, and said angrily: "Where is Xue Yan, bring him to see me!"

    Speaking, he got up and strode out, and Concubine Shu quickly followed.

    In the past few days, she also knew the character of this child, and knew that he was determined not to do such a thing. What's more, she and Xue Yan have no grudges at all, and they get along well these days, how could he set up a curse to curse himself!

    But, who can put such a sinister thing in Xue Yan's room!

    Concubine Shu was startled by his anger, she stopped in place, and did not dare to speak any more.

    The Qing Ping Emperor ignored her, flicked his sleeves, turned around and went to the west hall.

    A group of minions trotted to keep up with him. The mighty group of people, not long after, were all stuffed into the small warehouse in the west hall.

    Concubine Shu was frightened and frightened, she stopped in place and could not stand. Jun Huailang hurried up to support her and comforted her softly, "Don't be afraid, Auntie, everything will be fine."

     Concubine Shu grabbed his hand.

    "Xue Yan is not such a person, is she?" Concubine Shu clenched Jun Huailang's hand tightly and muttered. "Besides, Ben Gong has never treated him harshly, and he won't hurt me like this."

    Jun Huailang took her hand back.

    He knew that Concubine Shu was afraid. She was not only afraid that the witchcraft would kill her, but also that she would be betrayed.

    Xue Yan would not do such a thing, but the witchcraft is real, and the betrayal is also real. It's just that this curse and betrayal came from someone who had a deeper relationship with Concubine Shu.

    Jun Huailang raised his hand and followed her back, without saying much, he helped her to walk out slowly: "Aunt don't be afraid, Xue Yan won't do this. Let's go and see, Whoever wants to harm him will also harm us."

    Concubine Shu nodded, and he was coaxing and coaxing before she managed to settle down and followed him to the warehouse in the west hall.

    The Qing Ping Emperor held a stack of papers in his hand, and at first glance, he was extremely angry. Xue Yan stood by the side without making a sound.

    Seeing Concubine Shu coming in, Emperor Qingping raised his hand and threw the stack of papers at her, angrily said, "Look, what happened in your palace, you didn't even notice it!"

    Concubine Shu was taken aback by this sudden change, and subconsciously hid beside Jun Huailang.

    But the paper did not fall on her. Jun Huailang raised his head and saw Xue Yan, who was silent, move in front of Concubine Shu.

    The stack of papers fell on him.

    Then, Xue Yan squatted down quietly, picked up the stack of papers, looked directly at Emperor Qingping, and said lightly: "Go back to the father, this was not written by the son, it was imitated by others. Erchen's handwriting."

    This is the first time Jun Huailang has seen Xue Yan explain since entering the palace.

    He was used to seeing the other party's silence. In any case, he is a prince, and Emperor Qing Ping punished him without grounds, which would not hurt his life. As time passed, he became accustomed to it and gave up on himself.

    But he opened his mouth today.

    But Emperor Qing Ping obviously didn't believe it. He angrily said, "You didn't write it? What do you use to prove that you didn't write it?"

    "Although these words are similar in shape, the stroke of the pen is different from what I am used to. At first glance, it is imitated." Xue Yan handed the stack of paper to Emperor Qing Ping and said. "If the royal father doesn't believe it, you can go to the study room in the side hall to get the homework written by Erchen."

    The Qing Ping Emperor sneered: "Then why did they appear in your warehouse?"

    "The key to the warehouse is not only held by Erchen's subordinates." Xue Yan glanced at Cui lightly.

    The eyes are light in color, but have a unique sharpness. However, with a slight glance, Dian Cui's back shivered, as if everything he had done had been seen through.

    Her legs trembled involuntarily as she knelt on the ground.

    At this moment, Concubine Shu, who was so frightened that she said nothing, spoke.

    "Your Majesty, can you let your concubine see what is written on it?" Concubine Shu asked.

    Qing Pingdi paused and passed the stack of papers in his hand.

    The paper actually listed the crime of how Concubine Shu treated Xue Yan harshly. He wrote several pages, all nonsense, but the time and place are very clear, as if it really happened.

    At the end of the stack of papers, it was said that Concubine Shu was cursed, and it was her own fault.

    Concubine Shu looked at the pile of absurd words and was about to defend Xue Yan, but heard Emperor Qing Ping reprimanded: "Concubine Shu, even if you are dissatisfied with my arrangement, just say it directly, why do you keep your back? to do these things?"

    Although he doesn't mind Xue Yan being humiliated, he doesn't like people who make small moves behind his back. Especially Concubine Shu, who is clearly a simple temperament that he can see at a glance, but he didn't expect to be so sinister behind the scenes.

    Is she pretending to be innocent in front of her?

    This is the most taboo of the Qing Ping Emperor.

    Hearing Emperor Qingping's rebuke, Concubine Shu looked at him in disbelief. She opened her mouth and wanted to explain, but with the reproachful and determined eyes of Emperor Ping of the Qing Dynasty, she couldn't explain the explanation that came to her mouth.

    Jun Huailang felt that the hand she was holding was trembling.

    Using the cover of her sleeves, Jun Huailang calmly patted her arm for comfort. With that, he opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, this minister should not have intervened in this matter... But, can I let the minister take a look at the puppet?"

    The Qing Ping Emperor frowned: "Look at what that dirty thing is doing? I will order someone to burn it earlier, so as not to cause disaster."

    Jun Huailang shook his head, his tone was gentle and gentle, with a gentle and seductive comfort.

    "Go back to your majesty, the doll is artificially sewn, whether it is fabric, stitching or workmanship, it is possible to see some clues. In addition, the doll has the birth date and name on it. Writing on the cloth has always been more difficult, and it can best show the habit of writing by one person. I have read the book together with the Fifth Highness for a few days, and I am familiar with his handwriting."

    In the past life, he served as an official under the Qing Ping Emperor for several years, and Jun Huailang could barely grasp the doorway. He knew how to talk to him, and he could hear it best.

    Sure enough, Emperor Qingping calmed down a bit, waved his hand and said, "Go and see, remember to stay away."

    Jun Huailang nodded yes, and patted Concubine Shu lightly before stepping forward. When passing by Dian Cui, who was kneeling on the ground, he stopped and asked casually, "Aunt Dian Cui, this key has been in your hands these days, have you never touched the paper and the doll? "

    Dian Cui hurriedly shook her head, distancing herself from the relationship: "The slaves don't even know there is such a thing, so of course they haven't touched it! Today before the emperor and the empress, the slaves didn't even enter the door of the warehouse in the west side hall. , how can there be a chance to touch that filthy thing!"

    Jun Huailang smiled: "Don't be afraid, just don't touch it."

    At this time, she denied it, and it was more difficult for her to shirk in the face of iron evidence.

    Jun Huailang walked to the box in which the dolls were placed, bowed down and checked carefully.

    Suddenly, the warehouse was quiet, and the minions didn't even dare to come out. Jun Huailang watched silently for a while, then suddenly said "Huh" and asked in confusion, "Why is the smell on this doll so familiar?"

    Speaking, he reached out and took out the doll from the box.

    However, just as he stretched his hand halfway, before he touched the doll, he was grabbed by the other hand.

    Jun Huailang looked up and saw Xue Yan holding his wrist and looking down at him.

     "Father said, let you stay away," he said.

    Where is Xue Yan who will listen to Emperor Qing Ping's orders? The look in Xue Yan's eyes was clearly telling him that Xue Yan himself did not allow him to touch this witch doll.

    Jun Huailang was speechless for a while.

      What's more, he seldom acted, and now he can calculate step by step clearly, and the acting is done well, why did Xue Yan come to interrupt?

    He glanced at Xue Yan reproachfully, and then extended his other hand.

    How can I compare the taste of the emperor and Concubine Shu without picking up this object? He specially put the Western Regions Incense Pills given by Concubine Shu on Diancui's body, just for now.

    But before him, Xue Yan stretched out his hand and picked up the witch doll first.

    Jun Huailang was a little dissatisfied.

    When I want to touch, you have to stop me in front of the emperor, but when you pick it up, how can you not be afraid?

    But this is the end, Jun Huailang had no choice but to continue acting according to his original plan.

    He had no choice but to smell Xue Yan holding the doll.

    "Yes, the scent is familiar," he said. "It's very similar to the one in the sachet I gave to Aunt Cui."

    Dian Cui, who was kneeling beside her, was surprised.

    "...This, Your Highness must have smelled the wrong thing?" She hurriedly touched her waist, where the incense that was hanging there was exactly the incense made by Jun Linghuan and one of Mingluan Palace's hands. bag.

    "How can this fragrance stay on the object? Besides, everyone has this thing!" Dian Cui said urgently.

    "Aunt Diancui is a big palace maid brought by my aunt from home. She grew up with her, how can she be like others?" Jun Huailang slowed down and looked at Diancui. , said each word clearly.

    Sure enough, hearing this, Dian Cui began to tremble with a guilty conscience.

      It's been half a month. There is only Aunt Cui in the whole palace." Jun Huailang looked down at her and said. "Zheng Guangde, you know this thing. Go and take off the sachet from Aunt Diancui and compare it."

    Zheng Guangde hurriedly stepped forward.

    Dian Cui was already panicked, and she was unwilling to hand over the sachet around her waist with both hands. During the scramble between the two, the people present had already seen it clearly, and it was clear that this was a ghost.

      "You just said clearly, you haven't touched this evil thing today?"
