I Became the Older Brother of the Heroine in an Abusive Novel

There was a witchcraft in the palace.

No matter which dynasty or generation, this is a big taboo.But all concubines who use this thing to harm others, no matter how favored they are or how prominent their family background are, will not escape death.

This is the most serious sin in the palace.

But today's matter happened to the prince.The prince used witchcraft to curse his concubine, who was still his own concubine in name. This kind of insidious thing happened in the royal family. Once it got out, it would be to trample the royal family's face on the ground.

Upon hearing Diancui's words, the expressions of Emperor Qingping and Concubine Shu changed.

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

Emperor Qingping showed an expression of disbelief, and immediately became furious, stood up from his seat, and said angrily, "Where is Xue Yan, bring him to see me!"

After speaking, he got up and strode out, Concubine Shu hurriedly followed.

"Your Majesty, there must be a misunderstanding, please appease your anger first..." Concubine Shu was taken aback for a moment, then followed him, and said eagerly beside him.

Over the past few days, she has figured out what this child is like, and knows that he is determined not to do such a thing.What's more, she and Xue Yan have no hatred at all, and they get along well these days, how could he set up a Gu to curse himself!

But, who could put such a vicious thing in Xue Yan's room!

"It's all cursed on you, and you still want to protect him?" Emperor Qingping paused, turned around and scolded angrily.

His expression was angry and his eyes were cold. Concubine Shu had rarely seen him lose such a temper with her in the ten years since she entered the palace.

Concubine Shu was taken aback by his anger, she froze in place, not daring to speak anymore.

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

A group of servants trotted to keep up with him.It didn't take long for the mighty group of people to be stuffed into the small warehouse in the west hall.

Concubine Shu was startled and frightened, she stopped where she was and couldn't stand still.Jun Huailang quickly went 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 he?" Concubine Shu held Jun Huailang's hand tightly and murmured. "Besides, I have never treated him harshly. He won't hurt me like this."

Jun Huailang held her hand back.

He knew that Concubine Shu was afraid.She was afraid that witchcraft would kill her, and she was also afraid of being betrayed.

It is true that Xue Yan would not do such a thing, but witchcraft is real, and so is betrayal.It's just that this curse and betrayal came from a person who has a deeper relationship with Concubine Shu.

Jun Huailang raised his hand along her back, without saying much, helped her to walk out slowly: "Aunt, don't be afraid, Xue Yan won't do that. Let's go and see who is going to harm him and us .”

Concubine Shu nodded, and with his support and coaxing, she managed to calm down and followed him to the storeroom in the west hall.

As soon as he entered, he saw a mass of people kneeling inside, and Ling Fu was kneeling beside him holding the box, not daring to move.

Emperor Qingping was holding a stack of papers in his hands, and he was extremely angry when he saw it.Xue Yan stood beside him without saying a word.

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

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

But the paper did not fall on her body.Jun Huailang raised his head, and saw the silent Xue Yan move, blocking Concubine Shu.

The stack of papers fell on him.

His back was straight, his stature was tall, and his shoulders were broad and straight. Although he stood there alone, he gave people an inexplicable sense of stability.

Then, Xue Yan quietly squatted down, picked up the stack of papers, looked directly at Emperor Qingping, and said calmly, "Return to father, this was not written by my son, but someone else imitated my son's handwriting."

This was the first time Jun Huailang saw Xue Yan explain since entering the palace.

He was used to the other party's silent appearance.In any case, he was still a prince, and Emperor Qingping punished him without any grounds, so his life would never be hurt.As time passed, he became accustomed to it and gave up on himself.

But today he opened his mouth.

But Emperor Qingping obviously didn't believe it.He said angrily, "You didn't write it? What proof do you have that you didn't write it?"

"Although the shapes of these characters are similar, the strokes and strokes are different from what I am used to. At first glance, it seems that they have been copied." Xue Yan handed the stack of papers in front of Emperor Qingping, and said. "Father, if you don't believe me, you can go to the study in the side hall to get the homework written by the minister."

Emperor Qingping sneered: "Then why did they appear in your warehouse?"

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

Those eyes were light in color, but had a unique sharpness.But with a slight glance, Diancui's back shuddered, as if all the secrets she had done had been seen through.

Her kneeling legs trembled involuntarily.

"Why, could it be Concubine Shu's people who planted it on you?" Emperor Qingping sneered as if he had heard some joke.

At this moment, Concubine Shu, who was so frightened into silence just now, spoke.

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

Emperor Qingping paused, and handed over the stack of papers in his hand.

On that paper, it actually listed the crimes of how Concubine Shu treated Xue Yan harshly.I wrote several pages eloquently, all of which are 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 she heard Emperor Qingping scold him: "Concubine Shu, even if you are dissatisfied with my arrangement, just put it bluntly, why do these things behind your back?"

Although he didn't mind Xue Yan being humiliated, he didn't like people who played tricks behind their backs.Especially Concubine Shu, who was obviously pure and innocent, but he didn't expect to be so vicious behind the scenes.

Could it be that her innocence in front of her was all a faux pas?

This is the most taboo of Emperor Qingping.

Hearing Emperor Qingping's reprimand, Concubine Shu looked at him in disbelief.She opened her mouth, wanting to explain, but seeing the reproachful and determined eyes of Emperor Ping of the Qing Dynasty, she couldn't utter the explanation when she reached her mouth.

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

Using the cover of his sleeves, Jun Huailang calmly patted her arm as a comfort.By chance, he said: "Your Majesty, I shouldn't have interfered in this matter... But, can I let you take a look at the puppet?"

Emperor Qingping frowned: "Look at what that dirty thing is doing? I'll order someone to burn it earlier, so as not to cause disaster."

But Jun Huailang shook his head, his tone was gentle and gentle, with persuasive comfort.

"Returning to Your Majesty, the puppet is sewn by humans. Whether it is fabric, stitches or workmanship, you may see some clues. In addition, there are birth dates and names on the puppet. It has always been difficult to write on the fabric. It can show a person's habit of writing. I have read the book with His Highness the Fifth Highness for a few days, and I am familiar with his handwriting."

In his previous life, he served as an official under Emperor Qing Ping for several years, and Jun Huailang could barely get his hands on some tricks. He knew how to talk to him, and he was the best at listening.

Sure enough, Emperor Qingping's expression softened a little, and he waved his hand and said, "Go and see, remember to stay away."

Jun Huailang nodded yes, and patted Concubine Shu lightly before walking forward.When passing by Diancui who was kneeling on the ground, he stopped in his tracks and asked casually: "Aunt Diancui, this key has been in your hands for the past few days, and you haven't touched the paper and doll, have you? "

Dian Cui quickly shook her head to clear the relationship: "I don't even know there is this thing, so naturally I haven't touched it! Today, before the emperor and the empress, the slave didn't even go in the door of the warehouse on the west side of the hall. How could I have the opportunity to touch that filth? things!"

Jun Huailang smiled: "Don't be afraid, it's fine if you don't touch it."

At this time, she denied it flatly, and it was even more difficult for her to evade in front of the iron and steel evidence.

Jun Huailang walked to the box where the doll was placed, bowed down and inspected it carefully.

Suddenly, there was silence in the warehouse, and the servants didn't even dare to vent their breath.Jun Huailang watched silently for a while, then suddenly let out a "huh" and asked in confusion, "Why is the smell on this doll so familiar?"

As he said that, he reached out and was about to take out the doll from the box.

However, just as he extended his hand halfway, before he touched the puppet, another hand grabbed his wrist.

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

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

How could Xue Yan be someone who would listen to Emperor Qingping's orders?Xue Yan's eyes were clearly telling him that it was Xue Yan who forbade him to touch the witch puppet.

Jun Huailang was speechless for a while.

Once he was reborn, he had a better understanding of this strange power than ordinary people, and he was not afraid of the objects made by this kind of person.What's more, he seldom acts. Now that he has figured it out step by step, and the acting has come naturally, why did Xue Yan come to interrupt?

He glanced at Xue Yan reproachfully, then stretched out his other hand.

If you don't pick up this object, how can you compare the taste of the emperor and concubine Shu?He specially put the Western Region fragrance pills bestowed by Concubine Shu on Dian Cui's body, just for now.

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

Jun Huailang felt a little dissatisfied.

When I want to touch it, you will stop me in front of the emperor, but when you pick it up by yourself, why don't you shy away from it?

But things have come to this, Jun Huailang had no choice but to continue acting according to his original plan.

He had no choice but to follow Xue Yan's movement of holding the puppet and smell it again.

"That's right, the scent is very familiar." He said. "It's very similar to the flavor in the sachet I gave Aunt Dian Cui."

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

"...This, Your Highness must have smelled it wrong, right?" She frantically touched her waist, where the sachet hanging there was exactly the sachet made by Jun Linghuan, which was only available for every member of Mingluan Palace.

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

"Aunt Diancui is a maid of honor brought by my aunt from home, she grew up with her, how can she be like others?" Jun Huailang slowed down his speech, looked at Diancui, and said clearly every word.

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Diancui began to tremble with guilt.

"I picked that incense out of the storeroom. It is a tribute from the Western Regions. As long as you wear it, you can smell it all over your body. Everything you touch can keep the fragrance for half a month. There is only one in the whole palace. Aunt Diancui has it." Jun Huailang looked down at her and said. "Zheng Guangde, you know about this thing. Go and take off the sachet from Aunt Diancui and compare it."

Zheng Guangde hurried forward trembling.

Dian Cui panicked, she covered the sachet at her waist with both hands and refused to hand it over.During the fight between the two, the people present could already see clearly that there was something wrong with this point.

"Aunt Diancui, could it be that this thing came from your hands?" Jun Huailang asked with a sneer in his heart, pretending to be surprised. "You just said clearly, you haven't touched this evil thing today?"
