Rebirth on the wedding night, being doted on by the scumbag elder brother
Chapter 275 A Flock of Crows
He barely held on for a while until his eyes began to blur, then he moved to the edge of the bed and lay down, and soon fell asleep.
The sandalwood in the incense burner slowly dissipates, and a tranquil atmosphere permeates the air.
An hour later, suddenly, a scream was heard in the Yangxin Palace, "Ahhh..."
The eunuch on duty outside the door immediately pushed the door open and walked in, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
The emperor was sitting on the bed, his face pale and his forehead covered with cold sweat. It was obvious that he had just experienced a nightmare.
The eunuch quickly stepped forward to support the emperor, "Your Majesty, are you having a nightmare?"
The emperor took a few deep breaths and was sure that he had just had a dream, and then he slowly calmed down. But he still remembered the dream clearly and could not forget it.
“I dreamed of a flock of crows.”
"It was a group of black crows circling over the capital. I also dreamed that the people were living a hard life and everyone had pain on their faces." When he said this, his voice trembled a little.
The eunuch quickly comforted him, "Your Majesty, dreams are the opposite of what they should be. This indicates that the Seventh Prince will be successful in providing disaster relief and bring well-being to the people."
After hearing this, the emperor showed a trace of fatigue in his eyes, but still said: "I hope so!"
However, the crows in his dream were too realistic and made him feel uneasy.
At this moment, a few crows cried out from not far away, "Wow... Wow... Wow..."
The sound made the emperor sit up suddenly, "Crow."
Soon after, more crows’ cries echoed in the Hall of Mental Cultivation. The emperor’s face turned even paler and he clenched his fists tightly.
When the eunuch saw this, his face changed. He thought, why did a crow start calling just as His Majesty finished telling his dream? This seems to be a foreshadowing of something ominous.
"Your Majesty, I will go and take a look."
The eunuch walked out of the palace and found a few crows perched on the roof, so he shouted, "Drive those crows away."
"As ordered."
Then, the guards acted together and shot the crow down with bows and arrows, and the shrill cry finally stopped.
A eunuch hurriedly reported: "Your Majesty, the crow accidentally landed in the Yangxin Palace and has been driven away by the guards."
"Crow..." The emperor frowned, feeling uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen. "Go check and see if the relief team is safe."
"Yes, sir. I'll do it right away." The eunuch replied, thinking to himself: It seems that His Majesty really cares about the Seventh Prince.
The conversation in the Yangxin Palace was soon known to Concubine Wu. She sneered and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
The sky was gloomy, as if foreshadowing something ominous was about to happen.
Heavy rains in the Jiangnan region have caused disasters for several days, and people are having a hard time. In such weather, Empress Xian in the Plum Garden looked up at the sky and felt a throbbing in her heart.
She was pruning branches when she accidentally pierced her finger with the scissors and blood gushed out instantly.
"Your Majesty, your hand." Seeing this, the maid beside her quickly took out a handkerchief to bandage her wound, "Your Majesty, let's go back to the house and deal with it."
Concubine Xian did not respond immediately. She continued to stare at the gray sky, as if she had a premonition. It was not until the maid reminded her again that she came to her senses and slowly followed the maid out of the garden.
Back in the palace, the maid carefully bandaged Concubine Xian's wound. Concubine Xian stared at the scene outside through the window, feeling a little dazed.
Suddenly, the silence was broken by a few shrill cries of crows, and a dark shadow flew past the window, almost crashing into the open window.
"Ah." Empress Xian was startled by the sudden sound and her face turned pale.
The maid hurried forward and closed the window, "My lady, it's a crow."
"Crows? Why are there crows here?" Empress Xian was still in shock. Crows have always been considered ominous. Could it be...
Thinking of this, Empress Xian's face suddenly changed, "Yan'er, the disaster relief team led by Yan'er..."
"Your Highness, please rest assured. His Majesty has sent people to investigate the situation. I believe there will be news soon. Your Highness should be safe." Although the palace maid comforted her like this, Empress Xian still could not feel at ease because she was always feeling uneasy today.
"Wow wow wow!"
"Wow! Wow!"
The shrill cries of crows rose one after another, and more and more crows gathered on the eaves of the palace.
Hearing this ominous voice, Empress Xian stood up and said to her maid, "Go and see what's going on outside."
"Yes, ma'am."
Su Mei pushed open the door and walked out. When she looked up, her heart started beating faster with fear.
I saw crows filling the sky, and these crows were only circling above Concubine Xian's palace. This was obviously not a good sign.
Su Mei turned pale and hurried back to report the strange phenomenon.
Empress Xian's body swayed and she sat back in her chair. She knew very well what this meant.
The emperor is very superstitious, and the recent floods have caused panic among the people. Any accident at this time may have serious consequences.
"Crow..." Empress Xian muttered in a low voice.
She turned to Sumei and asked calmly, "Did anything special happen in the temple today? Or were there any strangers here?"
"This one……"
Su Mei was so distracted that she couldn't remember what was wrong. Suddenly, she patted her leg and said, "A tile fell off in the garden this morning. I was just about to tell you whether you need to send someone to repair it. After all, the palace hasn't been renovated for more than ten years."
"Tiles?"
Empress Xian frowned, walked to the window and stared at the crows circling in the sky.
"My queen, please be careful. It won't be good if these birds fly in." Su Mei hurried forward and tried to close the window.
Empress Xian waved her hand gently, staring at the crows, and said coldly, "Go check the roof."
"Miss?"
"Go check the roof and see if there is anything unusual." Her expression was serious, believing that everything had its reasons and it couldn't be a coincidence.
Crows circled over the palace, occasionally making sharp cries, which made the palace maids feel uneasy.
Concubine Xian stood in the yard, looking up at a palace maid who climbed up to the roof tremblingly. The crows suddenly became restless, scaring the maid so much that she almost fell off the ladder. The other palace maids below were also nervous.
"Your Majesty, you'd better go back to the palace. It would be bad if you were hurt by these birds." Su Mei said worriedly.
Empress Xian had a determined look on her face, her back straight, and she stood without flinching. Her gaze became more solemn as the crows circled around.
The old lady carefully checked the roof. Suddenly she found something unusual. She quickly wrapped it up with cloth and hurried down the ladder. "My lady."
"What's wrong?" Empress Xian asked with a frown.
The old lady opened the cloth bag in her hand, revealing a piece of spoiled meat. "Madam, there are many of these on the roof."
"This is..." The maid Xiaomei took a closer look, "This is some stinky meat."
Empress Xian said coldly, "Using this method to attract crows, it's obvious that someone is targeting me."
