"Help..." Concubine Tong kept thumping in the water, her body gradually sank, and she was about to lose her strength.

More and more people came to the shore to watch, Queen Niu Gulu frowned and said, "What are you still doing, go save people?"

The palace people got the order, and three or four nurses who could swim jumped off the lotus pond and swam towards Concubine Tong.

Five minutes later, Concubine Tong was rescued, choked on a few mouthfuls of water, and was carried back to the palace dying.

"How did Concubine Tong fall into the water?" No matter where the concubines went, there were maids serving them, and now Concubine Tong was alone, where did the people around her go?

Those who can hang around in the harem are not blind. Logically speaking, Concubine Tong used to be arrogant and domineering in the palace, and no one could understand her, but there was one person present who had the ability and reason to kill her.

The queen's eyes turned dark when she had any doubts about the concubines. Although she didn't like Concubine Tong, she would not be so stupid as to attack Concubine Tong at the flower viewing banquet she held, which made her all over the place for nothing. Sao, she blamed Concubine Tong even more in her heart, and made things difficult for her.

The queen left in a hurry, and a flower viewing party broke up unhappy.

Yan Ying walked to the bank of the lotus pond, looked over bit by bit, and finally saw the rolling water droplets condensing on the bank where Concubine Tong fell into the water. Just now, in order to save Concubine Tong, how many people jumped from the lotus pond and came up again. It has been wet by water for a long time, if you don't look carefully, you really can't tell the difference.

Yan Ying stretched out her hand and twirled it, smelling the scent of clear oil in the air, a thought flashed across her eyes, who really wanted to harm Concubine Tong?

"Master, what's the matter?" Bai Wei was puzzled.

Yan Ying withdrew her hand and said, "It's okay, let's go back."

After Concubine Tong fell into the water, she caught a cold and almost walked away from the gate of hell. She became thinner and thinner, and it brought back the friendship of her childhood sweetheart, which made Kangxi feel distressed.

But Concubine Tong used her illness to pester the emperor, and there was a pregnant woman in her palace. For a while, Kangxi was stumbled by Tong Jiashi and Wu Yashi, and did not go to other places for a whole month. I don't know how many vases were smashed in the harem.

It was the beginning of autumn, and the emperor took the little prince to sacrifice to heaven, and all the concubines in the harem were announced by the empress to Jianfu Palace.

Empress Niu Hulu was dressed in plain clothes and held a Buddhist bead in her hand. She stood at the front and said, "Your Majesty cares about the people so much that you can't sleep at night. You have worked tirelessly to pray for me in the Qing Dynasty. As a model in the harem, I can't do that either." To shirk responsibility, from today onwards, the harem will fast for three days, and all concubines will chant scriptures and pray for blessings in Jianfu Palace, praying for the Buddha to bless the Qing Dynasty with peace and stability.”

After the queen's words fell, all the concubines responded in unison: "No!"

Yan Ying knelt on the soft cushion. From the corner of her eyes, she saw the devout faces of the concubines and the twitching corners of their mouths. She couldn't help but sighed. She had to kneel for three days. For an atheist like her, this kind of behavior was pure torture. Bar.

In just 10 minutes, Yan Ying couldn't stand it any longer. From the corner of her eye, she saw a lot of desks beside her, and suddenly had an idea.

"To the empress, my concubine read a Lotus Sutra for the Empress Dowager a few days ago, and the Empress Dowager praised my concubine for her heart. Today, the empress empress leads the concubines in the harem to pray. I feel that presenting a copy of the Lotus Sutra written by myself and enshrining it in front of the Buddha will surely increase the sincerity of the harem sisters, what do you think?"

After Yan Ying finished speaking, she looked at the empress expectantly, agreeing quickly.

Compared to kneeling for several hours, she would rather practice calligraphy.

After hearing the words, Queen Niu Hulu tightened her hand holding the Buddhist beads, carefully observed Yan Ying's face, and saw that she didn't seem to know their plan, so she was quietly relieved.

However, thinking that this person used the Empress Dowager to oppress her, now that she had summoned the concubines in the harem in the name of praying for the Qing Dynasty, if she refused at this moment, it would seem that she had something wrong and her heart was insincere, so she had no choice but to agree to Yan Ying's request.

"Since Yan Guifei mentioned the word "sincerity", then my palace will follow what Yan Guibin said, and it may not be enough to enshrine only one scripture. How about this, this palace, Concubine Hesheli, Chen Guiren..., Let’s copy the scriptures together and pray for my Qing Dynasty, and the rest of you should kneel in front of the Buddha and pray.”

The concubines whose names were called stood up and walked to the desk not far away.

Yan Ying, who was in the midst of it, realized that something was wrong at this moment. How could the concubines who were called up belong to the Queen's faction?

The nobleman Wanliu who was kneeling on the futon watched the empress and the other concubines walk away, and stared at Yan Ying's back, wishing to pierce two holes to come out, Yan Ying, you have caused me such a big shame, now I have If I lose my position, I am at odds with you!

"Ah Choo..." Yan Ying touched her nose, who was scolding her behind her back.

Slowly and steadily sitting in front of the desk, Yan Ying studied the ink, lap after lap, and slowly began to fish in troubled waters, with her butt touching the chair, and then she calmed down, and said involuntarily: "Sure enough, writing is easier One point, the ancients would kneel at every turn, this kind of thing is too inhuman.”

Yan Ying's handwriting was well written. The authentic lower case letters, each with round and smooth characters, fell on the blank paper. Suddenly, a strong smell of sandalwood lingered in her nose, which was somewhat familiar.

Yan Ying's gaze passed over the incense burner in the hall, and after a while, she moved her eyes away, and then landed on the cauldron in front of the concubines.

To be precise, it is the sandalwood smoke that burns and floats in the air. This fragrance is exactly the same as the one that used to be in her palace. According to Dongqing, this incense belongs to Queen Hesheli, but she is already dead. Then only concubine Hesheli, who came from the same line, has the formula of this fragrance.

Ever since Dongqing was captured, Yan Ying had asked the imperial physician in private that the ingredients of this fragrance were hot spices such as safflower, and its main function was to increase abdominal pressure in women, which was most likely to cause adverse consequences such as spontaneous abortion and premature delivery.

Yan Ying watched coldly as the queen ordered people to open all the windows, and the breeze blew away the smell of sandalwood that floated over the desk, that is to say, the group of them was harmless, and those who were harmed by the incense were only those kneeling The group of concubines in front of the futon.

They have the largest contact area, and they seem to be swallowing poison between breaths. Currently, there are two known pregnant women among the concubines, Concubine Ma Jiashu and Wu Yashi, and the unknown is still unclear.

Thinking of the elder brother who was born during this time in history, Yan Ying squinted her eyes. Maybe they were not targeting a single person. They wanted to use the name of praying to eliminate all pregnant concubines in the palace. They clearly wanted to catch them all. the meaning of.

Concubine Hesheli is really capable. The queen may not be unaware of this matter. Although she is not the mastermind, she is definitely an accomplice.
