Eight-year-old Princess: Phoenix Reborn

The palace man shook his head, "All the embroidered ladies in the palace were called by the servants to identify them one by one, and they all said they couldn't see who it was."

"Including the one in Tai'an Mansion, we are already the fifth..." The queen was silent for a long time before sighing, "What about the fabric?"

"The fabrics are all used by the palace people to make clothes, and they are used to make inner clothes, so it is even more difficult to find out. Every palace has it, and every palace has a lot of it. "The palace man said again hastily.

The queen was silent for a moment, then waved her hand to make the palace servants retreat, and after a while she turned around and looked at Yun Shang, "Princess Rui thinks, who did this?"

"This court lady doesn't know about it, but since the cloth is something in the palace, it must be someone in the palace, and it is extremely difficult for others to get it. However, we have only just arrived in Xia Kingdom, and we rarely enter the palace. There should be no enmity with the people in the palace, and no one is so vicious." Yun Chang lowered her eyebrows and sighed softly, with a bit of grievance in her voice.

The empress choked in her throat, held the brocade handkerchief tightly, and after a long while, she slowly stood up, "The peach blossoms in spring are just right, Princess Rui still has to wait for Master Lao Kong to come into the palace, and she tosses back and forth Why don't you accompany Bengong to enjoy the flowers in the imperial garden."

The peach blossoms in the imperial garden were indeed in full bloom. In the peach blossom courtyard, the courtyard was full of pink, extremely gorgeous. Yun Chang followed behind the queen, not understanding what she was up to.

After walking halfway through the garden, the queen waved back the palace servants who followed behind her, picked up a fallen petal from the ground, and said softly, "The concubines in the palace are like this peach blossom. The branches stand proudly, but if the years pass, they can only wither on the ground and be crushed into mud."

Yun Chang was silent, the queen chuckled, and then said, "If you want to stay on the branch longer, you have to work hard to make yourself bloom more beautifully, attract butterflies to pollinate, and then produce peaches. Originally The peach in the palace was the most gratifying one, but I didn't want to, it was knocked to the ground, and it was gone."

Yun Shang understood the strange metaphor of the queen, but there was only one reaction in her mind: You compare your majesty to a butterfly, does he know?

It's just that these words can't be said at this time anyway. Yun Shang pondered for a moment, and then said, "Ningguo's climate is not suitable for growing peaches, but my wife knows that if it is a fruit, as the empress said, That way, if the growth is pleasing, it is mostly picked and sold by the farmers first. On the contrary, it may be the one that grows the most crooked, and the one that stays on the peach tree for the longest."

There was a sudden silence in the garden, and then there was a burst of laughter, "Hahahahaha... well said!"

The queen turned around and looked at Yun Shang, who was still bowing her head in a submissive manner, her eyes suddenly shone brightly, "Sure enough, the authorities are bewildered by the bystanders. I have been thinking about the question for a long time, but you have pointed it out. I am wrong. The mistake is that all this time, I have ignored the person who thought there was no threat at first, but I didn't think that he is the most dangerous."

Yunshang was silent, although at the end of Xia Huanyu's behest, the Seventh Prince's crime of murdering his brother was completely wiped out, but the queen has been able to stand in the palace for so many years, naturally she has her connections, even if it is far away. In Ningguo.

"You got close to Concubine Xianggui a few days ago, but it was because Prince Rui had just returned to Xia Kingdom and there was no one in the court to support him, so he wanted to find an ally in the harem. But if you set your mind on Xianggui On the body of your concubine, then you are missing a move. Concubine Xianggui has no children and no father and brother support, but it is just a piece of duckweed in this palace. Seeing that the holy favor is flourishing, it has no roots, and it can be removed without any effort. Take it away. When it comes to allies, I think that there is no one in the harem who can compare to me. Now that I have no heirs, I will not threaten the status of Prince Rui, but I am the master of the harem. , your father and brothers are all holding important positions in the court, and your enemy is the enemy of this palace, if you join hands with this palace..." The queen chuckled and looked towards the top of the peach tree.

"The highest position is at your fingertips." After finishing speaking, he turned his head to look at Yunshang, "I don't ask much, but I hope that the position of the harem master will be more stable. After the new emperor ascends the throne, then The position of empress dowager belongs to my palace."

Yun Chang lowered her head, her eyes were full of flowers, and when she heard the queen's words, she slightly hooked the corners of her lips where she couldn't see, and said in a low voice, "I can't decide this matter, I have to discuss it with the prince before I can give it to the empress." reply."

"Then I will be waiting for your good news." Then he walked forward again.

Yunshang accompanied the queen to the imperial garden for half a day, and had dinner in Weiyang Palace before the palace servants came to invite her, "Empress, Master Liao Kong has entered the palace, and he is now in the palace of discussion. The emperor invites the queen." Empress, go to the meeting hall."

The queen nodded, and turned to look at Yun Shang, "Then let's go."

Arriving in the meeting hall, Yunshang saw that all the people I saw in Weiyang Palace when I got up early today were there, and there were some more ministers in court clothes, including Duke Hua. The only person in the meeting hall who was sitting like Xia Huanyu was It's the monk in the temple.

The monk's beard was already gray, and he sat quietly with his eyes closed, as if he had settled down. There was a pen, ink, paper and inkstone in front of him, and the paper was blank.

The eyes of everyone in the hall were on him, and after a long time, the monk opened his eyes, "According to what His Majesty said, that man must set up a formation, but the poor monk doesn't know much about Jincheng's layout. Clearly, please ask some benefactor to draw a picture for the poor monk."

Hearing this, Xia Huanyu glanced around the hall before saying calmly, "Old Seven, you can go."

Hearing the words, the Seventh Prince quickly responded, walked to the opposite of Master Kong and sat down on his knees, "Master, tell me."

"Your Majesty said just now that this object was found in Prince Rui's Mansion, Seventh Prince's Mansion, Princess Tai'an's Mansion, Concubine Xianggui and Concubine Shen Shu's palace. Please draw the approximate location of this place on this paper." Master Liao Kong said softly.

Hearing the words, the Seventh Prince pondered for a moment, then first drew a rough outline of Jincheng on the paper, then drew a few circles, then stopped the pen, turned the paper half a circle, and placed it in front of Master Kong.

Master Liao Kong stared at the picture for a long time, then drew two dots on the paper again, and then raised his eyes to look at the man opposite, "Dare to ask the Seventh Prince, does the Seventh Prince know where these two places are?" place?"

Everyone's eyes fell on the drawing paper, and before the Seventh Prince could answer, someone said, "Hey, isn't this the location of Su Shilang's mansion?"

Another human said, "I know this is the residence of Wang Congwen, the richest man in Jincheng."

Xia Huanyu was silent for a moment, then raised his eyes to look at Master Kong, "Where is the position marked on this map by Master?"

"The poor monk looked at the picture drawn by the prince just now, and found that there are rules to follow in these five positions. If there are also these two places, they are connected to form the Big Dipper array. The art of witchcraft also needs to be observed. The spirit of the person who wants to murder, Your Majesty is the Son of Heaven, has the aura of a real dragon, ordinary witches and Gu can't hurt His Majesty, so you need to use some formations." Master Liaokong recited a Buddha's name.

"Come here." Xia Huanyu said loudly, "Go and search Su Shilang and Wang Congwen's mansion, and see if there is any witch doll."

The queen stepped forward quickly, with an anxious expression on her face, "If it is true as the master said, this formation has been completed, will the emperor be affected?"

Master Liaokong pondered for a moment before saying, "This matter depends on when the formation was completed. Although the formation has been completed, it still needs seventy-seven forty-nine days of blood sacrifice, but at this time, His Majesty is free from illness and pain." , that is, the formation has not yet been completed, fortunately it was discovered early."

"..." Yun Chang looked at Master Liao Kong who was full of righteousness, and felt a little admiration in his heart. It is extremely powerful to be able to make this matter complete in such a short period of time. I don't know where the prince came from. Such a character is invited, but the reason is really far-fetched. Yun Chang looked at the position on the paper, how does this look like the formation of the Big Dipper? Even if she just read some formation books, she felt that it was too strange.

Yun Chang looked at Liu Yinfeng who was standing aside, who seemed to be wandering in the sky, thinking, he is so good at arraying, he must have seen the clues.

After hearing the words, the Queen hurriedly said, "Maybe Master Liaokong know who did this?"

Master Liao Kong pondered for a moment, and then said, "It's not difficult to distinguish this matter. The poor monk heard that if the Big Dipper array is to be activated, one must place a witch doll in one of these places and feed it with blood every day." You only need to take out the seven witchcraft dolls and remove the outer cloth, and you will know."

Yun Shang heard the words and thought about it carefully. These witch-gu dolls were all made by Ning Qian, so there must be no blood. However, the only one who destroyed the witch-gu doll was It's Princess Tai'an. Could it be that the prince wanted to pull Princess Tai'an out, so he broke the opponent's hand first.

When the queen heard the words, she hurriedly said, "Bring those witchcraft dolls up."

The palace servants hurriedly brought those witchcraft dolls over, put them on a plate and arranged them one by one, with paper marked below where they were found.

Xia Huanyu waved his hand, "Don't worry, we'll wait until we find those two witch dolls."

Seeing Xia Huanyu's gaze sweeping over Master Kong and the paper in front of him, Yun Shang frowned slightly, knowing that Xia Huanyu might be suspicious of Master Kong.

Yun Chang frowned, her heart raised inexplicably.

The guards came quickly, but after more than an hour, they came in with two voodoo dolls, "Report to the emperor, as Master Kong said, the voodoo dolls were found in these two places."

Xia Huanyu was silent for a long time before saying, "Take it apart."

Liu Wen'an quickly asked the palace servants to bring up the scissors, and took apart the witchcraft doll in front of everyone. Yun Chang stared at everyone's movements, but frowned suddenly.

"Your Majesty, there are bloodstains in the witchcraft dolls found in Prince Rui's Palace."\u003c
