Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

Liu Wen'an waved his hand towards the outside of the hall, and then another guard escorted a nanny who seemed to be of a certain age and walked in. When Tai'an saw the man's appearance, his expression suddenly changed, "Brother Huang, what happened?" ? Why did Eunuch Liu let the nanny be arrested? The nanny..."

Xia Huanyu turned her eyes and glanced at Princess Tai'an, she was startled suddenly, and swallowed the words she hadn't spoken yet.

"What are you arresting her for?" Xia Huanyu twirled the jade wrench on his thumb, with a bit of coldness in his voice, "Sister Qi, tell me yourself, what did you do today?"

Nanny Qi's hair was slightly disheveled. Seeing Xia Huanyu's question, she didn't panic at all. She broke free from the guards behind her, raised her hand to touch her bun, and combed the loose hair. After going up, I bowed to Xia Huanyu, "Report to the emperor, this servant did not do anything, but found a broken doll under the princess's bed this morning when I was making the princess's bed. The thing looked a bit old, so I cut it up and took it out and threw it away."

Xia Huanyu's voice became a little colder, "When Nanny Qi cut up the doll, did you find the one with the needle stuck in it?"

"It's a needle, but I think it should be when the princess is embroidering, so I just stuck the embroidery needle on it. The embroidery needle is the easiest to fall off. It's a good way to find a place to tie it." Qi Nanny said indifferently Authentic, the voice is extremely calm.

Princess Tai'an was afraid that she had just left her mansion and found something, her face was a little pale, and she said hastily, "Brother, forgive me, Nanny Qi has never studied, nor seen anything in the world, so I can't tell the difference between a doll What is the difference between a doll and a witch doll?"

The nanny paused, her eyes fell on Princess Tai'an, and then she glanced at the people in the hall before she looked at the two witchcraft dolls Xia Huanyu held in her hands. Her expression changed slightly, she pondered for a moment, and then said, "Is that doll?" Was it given by His Majesty?" After a pause, he hastily bowed to Xia Huanyu, "It's my fault, this old slave only thought that the doll was old, and thinking that the princess never liked old things, she simply gave it to her. It was cut, but I didn't expect it to be a reward from His Majesty."

"Nurse, shut up." Tai'an quickly reprimanded, pinching the embroidered handkerchief in his hand a little nervously, raised his head and quietly looked at Xia Huanyu's face.

Yun Chang couldn't help laughing in her heart, this Princess Tai'an is not a smart person, but she is not slow to react. However, the nanny next to her is shrewd, responsive, neither humble nor overbearing, a character. She was obviously the one who saw the witchcraft doll appearing under Princess Tai'an's bed, and she knew that it would be bad if someone found out about it, so she quickly cut the doll and wanted to destroy the evidence, but she didn't want anyone to find out.

After being found out, she didn't see any panic, and she still had time to arrange her hair leisurely. Although the excuse was clumsy, it was in line with her identity and knowledge, and she saw that the atmosphere in the palace was not right, and she found that Xia Huanyu was still holding two witchcraft dolls in her hands Only then did she hastily change her words again, with a look of trepidation, as if she was uneasy because she cut something that was bestowed by His Majesty.

Xia Huanyu stared at Nanny Qi for a long time before curling her lips coldly, "Take her down."

Liu Wen'an responded and waved his hand, and the guards hurried forward to drag Nanny Qi down again.

The embroidered handkerchief in the Queen's hand was also wrinkled, and after a long while, she said softly, "If the witchcraft doll is also found in Tai'an Mansion, this will be the third one. The concubine thinks, I'm afraid it's a good life. After searching, all the palaces of the princes, the princesses, and the palace should be searched carefully. I don’t know how many leaks there are. The people behind this scene should really be hacked to death. Curse Your Majesty."

Yun Shang discovered that the Queen's gaze had been on the witchcraft doll in Xia Huanyu's hand just now.

Xia Huanyu put the two voodoo dolls on the table, "This voodoo technique is just a legend, isn't I here now?"

"It's better to believe it than to believe it. Since the other party has worked so hard to arrange this situation, it must be of his use. Your Majesty might as well find a good monk to see what the mystery is. "Luo Qingyan opened his mouth unhurriedly at this time.

Xia Huanyu was taken aback for a moment, as if he never thought that Luo Qingyan would say such a thing. After pondering for a moment, he turned and looked at the Seventh Prince, "What about you? This thing also appeared in your mansion, what do you think?"

The Seventh Prince hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I feel that what the elder brother said is very true. This matter is related to the safety of the father, so naturally we can't take it lightly. The most famous person in our Ning country is Master Liao Kong. Why don't you invite him to come?" Master Liao Kong, come and take a look."

"Then please." Xia Huanyu said indifferently, and continued after a while, "However, I believe that this was done deliberately by someone. Let the Minister of Punishment investigate this matter carefully."

It still took half a day for Master Liaokong to reach Jincheng, so Xia Huanyu told everyone to disperse, and ordered someone to issue a decree, asking everyone in the palace to search carefully in their respective palaces to see if there were other witchcraft dolls.

Luo Qingyan followed Xia Huanyu and the Seventh Prince to the meeting hall, and Yun Shang was left in Weiyang Palace by the queen.

"I heard that your family was the first to discover that evil thing, but are you frightened?" The queen smiled slightly with a very kind face.

Yun Shang quickly responded, "No, the minister's wife was not in the mansion yesterday, but the servants found out, but it was an old servant in the prince's mansion who didn't report it to the housekeeper in time. Instead, he told the matter everywhere. When I searched for it, the servant had already died suddenly, and the witch-gu doll was gone too. When the servant returned to the mansion, she was very anxious, that thing was very harmful, if it got lost, what should I do?" After finishing speaking, he sighed again, "I thought about it before, the minister's wife and the prince just arrived in the Xia Kingdom, and everything is not very familiar, and there are some old people in the mansion, who can still mention the minister's wife, but I don't want to be confused because of those people. An old man refused to obey the housekeeper's discipline, and made such a terrible incident."

The queen's complexion was a little pale, and she sighed after a moment of silence, "That son of this palace is very lucky, he was just young, but he just disappeared like that, if I knew it earlier, this palace would not let him go to Ningguo. Those people in his house were originally abiding by the rules, I'm afraid they suddenly changed to a new owner, and they might not be used to it."

Yun Shang sneered, if the prince hadn't known the identity of the prince in Ningguo, and intended to assassinate the prince and her, how could he be imprisoned, and then be missed by the seventh prince, it was just asking for it after all the calculations . Just listening to the queen's tone, it seemed that she was blaming her for not being able to command her well and not being able to convince the crowd.

"That's right. When I was in Ningguo, because the prince often went out to fight, the servants in the mansion were good, and it was not difficult to discipline them. Therefore, the minister's wife didn't have much experience in managing the servants in the mansion, and the minister's wife was young, and many things may be difficult. Not as exquisite as the former crown princess. The minister's wife was still thinking, since the former crown prince was used to using these old people, the minister's wife gave them all to her, and when the time to guard the mausoleum came, she could also use them. The minister's wife still asks some newcomers to be selected to enter the mansion. Although the newcomers still need to adjust many rules, they are easier to manage." Yunshang smiled slightly, her voice was very soft.

When the queen heard this, her smile was tinged with disdain, and she said with a cold smile, "Since this mansion has been given to Prince Rui, it is naturally up to you to decide, you can do it as you see how it can be done better. "Paused, then changed the subject again, "I heard that you slept in the Xiangzhu Palace yesterday? I see that you have gotten closer to Xianggui Concubine recently. It's okay, you and her are two years old. It’s similar, but we can talk together.”

Yun Chang didn't deny it, and said with a smile, "Concubine Xianggui is extremely beautiful, and she knows everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and my wife also admires her very much. When I was in Ningguo before, my mother and concubine often taught Court wives, associate more with talented people, associate more with people of good character, associate more with people who are humble."

"Mother concubine?" The queen was slightly taken aback, "Why did I hear that you were brought up by the queen?"

Before Yunshang could answer, the queen said again, "Oh, I forgot, you were born by Concubine Jin, right? I heard that Concubine Jin spent more than ten years in the cold palace..."

Yun Chang clenched her hands tightly in her sleeves, and after a while she smiled and said, "It's not like I grew up beside the empress, my wife was sent to the hospital when she was eight years old because of her poor health. She recuperated in Ningguo Temple and did not return to the palace until she was fifteen years old, and soon after returning to the palace, the mother and concubine have resumed their original status." She smiled and said, "The emperor is almost one year old now. , in the harem, status is not the most important thing, sometimes status depends more on her status and family background, and being able to have a son and a half daughter is a blessing."

This time, the empress couldn't laugh anymore, she only had one son, which was her pride before, but now it is gone.

"Empress, Empress Xianggui and Concubine Shen Shu also found witchcraft dolls in the palace." When the two were talking back and forth, someone from the palace came in, knelt on the ground and reported softly. .

The queen fell silent, casually took out a brocade handkerchief, raised her hand and wiped the corner of her mouth, "Concubine Xianggui? Concubine Shen Shu?"

After a while, he said again, "Have you brought all the things here?"

The palace man hurriedly said, "I brought it here, this servant has just seen it, the fabric and thread are the same as those found in the two princes' mansions before, but the embroidery skills do not seem to be embroidered by one person."

"It's not all embroidered by one person? This is strange. If it's not embroidered by one person, doesn't it mean that it's not done by one person?" The queen frowned and rubbed her forehead. The embroiderer recognized her, so who can tell who owns the embroidering skills?" \u003c
