bastard returns

He Xiangu moved very quickly, quickly crushed the remaining herbs in her hand, and sprinkled them again, and saw that the ugly insects had not crawled too far on the ground, and they gradually turned black and stiff, and they were no longer there. not moving.

Seeing this unbelievable scene, everyone in the room was in a daze, and the queen mother felt a chill down her spine. She covered her mouth and nose with her sleeve robe, and said in surprise, "What are these things!?"

"Back to the Empress Dowager, this is a Gu worm." He Xiangu had already set up a conversation with Ning Yuan, so she said it easily, "This thing is an evil thing of the barbarian tribe in southern Xinjiang, and most of them are kept in women's bodies. When a Gu worm is conceived, the appearance is the same as when she is pregnant, thinking that the concubine of Lai Yuegui is not pregnant, but just has a Gu worm in her body."

"What did you say!?" After the conversation, the face turned pale with shock, "He Xiangu, you and the Ai family should speak clearly!"

He Xiangu patiently explained the origin of the Gu worm in detail again, only when the faces of the Queen Mother and the Emperor turned pale, she came to a conclusion: "Because the Gu worm is fast and tenacious, even if Even with Huatai powder, it is difficult to remove all of them, and the moxa leaf has the effect of expelling delusions and suppressing evil spirits. I just sprinkled some mugwort leaves on it, and forced out the undead Gu worms. .”

"So, Concubine Yue has no doubts from the beginning to the end. She lied about being pregnant, but she actually put these evil species in her body!?" The queen mother was furious, stood up and pointed at Concubine Yue and shouted: "Concubine Yue, hello! Be bold!"

Concubine Yue was shaking all over, seeing that this matter was exposed, she was so frightened that she could not speak, not to mention the crime of deceiving the emperor, just playing with these Gu insects in the palace, she is considered a fool. Nine heads are not enough.

"From this point of view, everything makes sense." Shu Shi said quietly from the side: "Sister Yue Concubine kept Gu worms in her body to create signs of false pregnancy to compete for favor, but she also knows that things can't last long. Stay in the body, wait for the emperor's attention, then follow the bowl of soup sent by the concubine, not only can send away the contents of the stomach smoothly, without anyone noticing, but also let the concubine carry it on his back The black pot who murdered the dragon fetus, sister Yuepin, don’t you think that it’s because I suddenly returned to the palace to take the position of your concubine Hui that you will come to harm me like this?” Shu Shi said while wiping away tears, “It’s in vain for me to treat you wholeheartedly. Sister, you are just for the harmony of the harem, so that the emperor can concentrate on the former court. If you really want the position of concubine Hui, I will let you, sister. Why do you do such a thing to hurt the emperor and the queen mother? heart!"

"With her dirty appearance, how dare she think about Concubine Hui's throne?" The queen mother sneered, "The concubine Yue is a criminal who deceived the emperor, and she is still doing innocent ghosts in the palace. It is intolerable, emperor, is she yours after all?" Concubine, what to do is up to you." After speaking, the queen mother turned her face to one side.

Concubine Yue seemed to have come to her senses now, seeing the emperor glaring at her, she felt nothing before her eyes, it was over, everything was over, she had always relied on the emperor's favor to run amok in the palace, if this favor If she is gone, she will fall from heaven to hell almost instantly, not to mention the crime of deceiving the king...will be beheaded!She doesn't want to die, she can't die!

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!" Yue Concubine shook her head vigorously, threw herself at the Emperor's feet, and cried while holding the Emperor's calf, "My Majesty, all my concubines made mistakes unintentionally! I will do this for you, the emperor, and this concubine will do this because she loves the emperor!"

Her appearance with pear blossoms and rain is still as sad and lovable as before, but the emperor just had the thought of softening his heart, and when he saw the disgusting bloody mess on the ground not far away, he suddenly felt nauseous, and then looked at Concubine Yue The face, a pretty face unconsciously became disgusting.

"Bitch! Doing such a thing, not to mention bullying the emperor, but also vainly trying to frame Concubine Hui, how can my harem tolerate a person like you!" After finishing speaking, he kicked concubine Yue away.

Yue Concubine had just given birth, and her body was weak, and the emperor kicked her in the chest again. She was already irritated by the situation in front of her, and she felt a sharp pain in her chest, looking up. He spat out a mouthful of blood, lay down crookedly, and finally passed out.

The emperor's face was as hard as a stone, staring at the concubine Yue who had fainted, and said: "Concubine Lu, Yue, deceived the emperor, played sorcery, and died according to the law... Thinking that she has served me for many years, I can't bear to kill them all. From now on, Mrs. Lu will lose her title, be demoted to be a palace servant, and be thrown into the cold palace, and will not be able to leave the palace until she dies."

The eunuch Li Yigao took the order, and immediately sent someone to take the unconscious concubine Yue away.

"It's really an injustice." The emperor's sentence obviously didn't satisfy the queen mother, but the emperor's sentence was also passed, so she couldn't say anything more, she just looked around the whole room and said harshly: "Today's matter, anyone Don't speak out, if any gossip reaches Aijia's ears, then Lu will definitely not be the last maid sent to the cold palace, understand!"

The palace people immediately nodded apprehensively.

"Concubine Hui, help Ai's family go back to the palace." The Empress Dowager stretched out her hand, and Shu Shi immediately stepped forward to support her. Before leaving, she glanced at the messy appearance in Fuyue Hall and shook her head.

There is an old saying in the harem that the higher you climb, the harder you fall, and now Mrs. Lu has proved this statement very well. The day before, because she was pregnant with a dragon fetus and had a bright future, the concubine Yue Gui, who had a bright future, fell into a rut overnight. Jian lost a child inexplicably, and was demoted as a maidservant to the cold palace, causing many ripples in the harem that has always lacked gossip.

The concubines in the harem scrambled to guess the reason, but because of what the empress dowager said before she left, all the servants who appeared in Fuyue Palace that day kept their mouths tight and did not reveal any inside story, so the concubines had no choice but to start Knowing the vast spiritual associations of the women in the deep palace, they began to make wild guesses, and soon came to a unified consensus that the sudden accident of the concubine Yue was most likely related to Concubine Shu Hui who had just returned to the palace.

Because on the day when Concubine Yue’s accident happened, some concubines wandering outside just happened to see Mrs. Shu accompanying the Queen Mother coming out of Fuyue Palace, and then the Emperor also came out. Naturally, the emperor had no reason to trouble Concubine Yue. Looking at it this way, it was because Concubine Shu Hui hadn't run away.

For a while, everyone in the palace thought that Concubine Shu Hui looked gentle and elegant, and she was really not easy to mess with. She just returned to the palace and sent Lu Shi, who was once spoiled by the sixth palace, to the cold palace. If anyone accidentally offended her , can it end well?

In this way, while the Fuyue Hall is going to be deserted, the always plain Huanqing Hall is like a rising star. They are not pleasing to the eye, and turning them into the second concubine of the moon, wouldn't it be miserable.

"It's a pity that the person who framed my mother and concubine was not sent directly to hell." Although Yue Concubine had already been thrown into the cold palace, for Sikong Xuan who had been living among the people for several years because of Yue Concubine's frame, this punishment was obviously not enough. Not enough, so I can't help complaining in the academy these days, "It's really cheap for her!"

Ning Yuan was sitting by the side reading a book, when he heard this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "Do you think this is the end of the matter?"

Sikong Xuan was taken aback, "My lord, what do you mean, the emperor didn't grant Lu's death right now, but spared his life, can you go back on it later?"

Ning Yuan said: "Of course you can go back on your word, as long as you let the emperor know what other things Lu has done that both people and gods hate."

"By the way, we can go and expose the fact that Mrs. Lu once framed my mother!" Sikong Xuan suddenly remembered something, and squeezed his right hand into a fist with his left palm.

"Exposing is to expose, but it's not our turn to do it. Someone will do it." Ning Yuan still had that calm expression, "Do you know what it means to scatter trees when trees fall and monkeys scatter when walls fall? Push? We just need to wait and see, and your current errand, Sixth Highness, is to quickly finish writing this copybook. Concubine Hui can say that if you can't finish writing, you won't be able to leave the palace tonight, and there will be no meal eat."

Sikong Xuan's originally excited face immediately turned bitter.

Ning Yuan turned another page of the book, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, the Lu family was just thrown into the cold palace, as long as he didn't die, maybe one day he would make a comeback, instead of waiting until the emperor calmed down Thinking of this no one who was sent to the cold palace by himself, it is better to take advantage of the emperor's anger to get rid of the future troubles forever. As long as the concubine Yue falls, Sikong Xu and Pang Song's faction will lose a big backer. At that time, It will also be easier to clean them up.

Sikongxuan once didn't understand what Ning Yuan meant by "someone will do it", but he didn't understand until a few days later, when an old eunuch named Li Lianyu suddenly appeared in the palace, saying that he was going to apologize .

"What are you talking about! That old eunuch Li Lianyu is so repaying his kindness!" The concubine Yue, who was dressed in plain clothes, stood up abruptly, but her body was weak, and she felt dizzy, unable to stand upright, and fell back to the chair.

This is a corner bedroom in the cold palace. When you go out, you can see the square palace wall. The windows are low, so you can't get the sun all year round.

The cold palace is not big, but it is filled with many concubines who were abandoned by the emperor, and many of them were sent in by the concubines of the moon, and in the torment of the darkness, those women who used to be like flowers and jade have also changed a lot. Confused, concubine Yue locked herself in a small room every day out of fear of avoiding these people, and only relied on using the last bit of jewelry on her body to bribe the nanny who delivered meals to inquire about news outside.

It has not been a few days since she was sent to the cold palace, the physical weakness and mental torture have already made her thin a lot, her plump and rosy face has become pale and sunken, and her eyes are outward Protruding, looks very scary.

Seeing her like this, the nanny who delivered the meal felt a little scared for no reason, so she quickly put down a bowl of brown rice and a stack of cold vegetables in the food box, left a sentence, "I just heard the news too," and left in a hurry , while the concubine Yue just sat there, and the cold palace only delivered food once a day, even though she had become very hungry, she couldn't bring herself to stuff her stomach at all.

She only knew that it was over for her this time, and she was afraid that there was no hope.

At the beginning, Li Lianyu was left alive in order to save a backhand, but now this backhand has become her life-threatening talisman. If the emperor wants to kill her because of this, what should she do?

Even though she was already in the cold palace, the concubine Yue did not really give in. She always had a belief in her heart that this was just a hurdle, so that the green hills would not worry about firewood. One day the emperor will remember her kindness and take her out.

At that time, she will naturally have a day when she can be proud again, and she will have the strength to settle accounts with Concubine Shu Hui.

But there is a prerequisite for all of this, that is, she is still alive.

"Shu Miaomiao, it must be Shu Miaomiao, this damn bitch wants to kill me, she wants to kill me..." Yuebi gasped for breath, like an ant on a hot pot, thinking that once she poisoned the emperor The matter of blaming the Shu family was revealed by Li Lianyu, an eunuch who used to work beside the Shu family. With her current status as a concubine in the cold palace, there is only one way to die, and there is no other way to choose.

"I can't die, I can't die..." Yuebi repeated these words as if in a daze, suddenly raised her head, and walked towards the door, she couldn't just sit in the cold palace, she wanted to run out, she wanted to see the emperor, She wants to tell the emperor that she was framed by someone, and she can't let those people succeed in their scheme to kill her!

But as soon as she opened the door, she saw an old woman with a solemn face standing outside the door, she was startled immediately, and backed away with a pale face, "Nurse Gui..."

Nanny Gui is the nanny who takes care of the cold palace, and her job is to watch over the useless concubines inside to prevent them from running out and messing around. Seeing Nanny Gui appearing here, Concubine Yue thought for a moment that her actions had been exposed. Which Nanny Gui He only glanced at her, then moved his eyes away, bowed slightly in another direction, and then left quickly.

Could it be that the emperor is here?As soon as Concubine Yue was happy, she knew, she knew that she had been married to the emperor for many years, and the emperor would not be so heartless!She opened her mouth happily, and was about to shout out the word "Huang", but the person who appeared at the door immediately made her swallow the words that were about to come to her mouth.

The visitor was indeed a man, and he was indeed tall and tall like an emperor, but he was not an emperor.Sikong Xu stepped into the room, glanced at the small and shabby room, raised his hand and dusted his nose, as if he couldn't get used to the musty smell in the room.

"What are you doing here?" Yue Bi was disappointed, and sat down coldly.

"Naturally, let's take a look, ma'am, are you doing well?" Sikong Xu had a very bad expression on his face. He reminded the concubine Yue to discuss all actions with him before acting. At this point, when he got the news outside the palace, his mother in name had become a palace maid and was thrown into the cold palace, "I'm only out of the palace for a few days, and you can do such a stupid thing, it's really a success There is more than enough failure.”

"Huh, you are here now, could it be that you came here to see my jokes?" Yuebi said angrily, "From the beginning to the end, the method you mentioned is too useless. If I don't listen to you, I won't take it with you False pregnancies are competing for favor, and another way is to think about it in the long run, so how can we get to where we are today." At this point, Yue Concubine rolled her eyes and suddenly thought of something, and said, "You can come here now, and quickly think of a way Take me out, I want to see the emperor!"

"Take you out to meet Emperor Father? Let me tell you, Madam, do you think that Leng Palace is the backyard of Fuyue Palace?" Sikong Xu sneered, "It's not easy for me to come in and have a look at you, so I will bring you back again." Going out, do you feel that it is not enough for you to suffer alone, and you still want my father to condemn me?"

"You don't even want to help me with such a small favor!?" Yue Bi's eyes widened, "You are a wolf-hearted thing who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges. If it weren't for your bad idea, I would be able to change into this appearance? I don't want to look at it either. Who are you relying on to live like you are now? If it weren't for me, you would be just a little reptile that the emperor wouldn't even look at. Think about how you knelt at my feet and begged me to be magnanimous. How stupid!"

Sikong Xu's complexion changed, he was always proud, it was his life's shame to beg concubine Yue in order to save his life, but concubine Yue is now just a maidservant, yet she even brought up the matter of the past His face, how could he not be angry.

He came here this time because he really wanted to see if there was anything that could be remedied—the incident happened suddenly in Fuyue Hall, and when he got the news outside the palace, Concubine Yue had already been sent to the cold palace.As his nominal mother, Yue Concubine was a great backer for him, a prince without a mother's family, and was quite important in his plans. It was a pity to lose her suddenly. How could Yue Concubine be so ungrateful, with a The identity of the palace maid sneered at him, the prince, and shouted and shouted, which made Si Kongxu's thoughts change a little bit for a while.

Concubine Yue has already fallen out of favor because of this matter, even if he can help her out of the cold palace, if she cannot be favored by the emperor like before, not only will she not become his help, but she will become a burden, not to mention that he never thought of Yue Concubine would be so stupid, she could be fooled by others so easily, if the same thing happened again in the future, concubine Yue's death would not be a pity, so what if he was implicated, Sikong Xu?

Thinking about this, Sikong Xu realized that this deal was not worthwhile and the risk was too high, and he had finally won the emperor's favor, so it was really not suitable for him to take any more risks.

Seeing Yuebi's sour and crazy appearance, Sikong Xu sneered, made up his mind that he didn't want to meddle in this woman's business, turned around and wanted to leave.

"Okay, let's go." The concubine Yue suddenly shouted behind him: "If you are really so heartless and unrighteous, crossing the river and destroying the bridge, then don't blame me for ruining the boat."

"Break everything?" Sikong Xu paused.Looking back, "What are you going to do?"

"The emperor was angry with me and put me in the cold palace, mostly because I used such evil things as Gu worms in the palace, but if I confess to the emperor clearly, tell him what those Gu worms are Where did it come from, and who instigated me to plant it in my body, pretending to be a fetus to deceive trust, what do you think the emperor will do, Your Highness the Fourth Prince?"

Sikong Xu's jaw gradually tightened and he didn't make a sound.

"By the way, I almost forgot, there is one more thing." Yue Bi pretended to be thinking, tapped on her forehead, and continued: "The assassination that occurred at the banquet to welcome the envoys of Great Xia, The emperor has not even caught the mastermind of the assassin. Anyway, I am already in limbo. I am afraid that there is no hope in this life. It is better for me to clarify the ins and outs of the assassination to the emperor. Who is the prince of the Great Zhou? Fornicating the Empress Dowager Da Xia, arranging assassins to enter the palace... I believe that not only the emperor, but also the First Prince who was implicated in that incident will be very interested in the truth, don't you think so, Fourth Highness?"

Sikong Xu gradually clenched the hand that was beating on his side, a layer of veins had already appeared on the back of his hand, and said in a hoarse voice, "Are you threatening me?"

"It's not wrong if you want to take this as a threat." Yue Bi smiled, showing a somewhat smug expression, "Your Highness, the fourth prince, wants to be alone, and he thinks too beautifully!"

"I understand." Sikong Xu nodded, his tense face suddenly relaxed, and he turned around slowly.

"That's right." Yue Bi thought that Si Kong Xu had accepted her conditions, and hurriedly said: "If you cooperate with me well so that I can make a comeback, I will naturally not reveal those things. The most important thing now is you There must be a way, how can I get me out of this cold palace to meet the emperor... what are you going to do?"

Seeing that Sikong Xu had a strange smile on his face, and slowly walking towards her step by step, Yue Bi couldn't help but feel a little nervous, and then stepped back, "I'm talking to you, why are you so close?"

"Your Majesty misunderstood, I just want to help your Majesty get out of the Leng Palace." Sikong Xu said slowly as he walked: "The Leng Palace has always had a rule that you can only enter and not leave, but if you want to get out, there is no way out. , I happen to have a perfect method here, so that the empress can go out of the cold palace in a dignified way."

"What, what can I do?" Yuebi had already retreated to the corner, but Sikong Xu didn't stop. Looking at that handsome but eerie face, Yuebi became more and more frightened, and her legs couldn't help but move. Trembling.

"Your Majesty has been working in the harem for so many years, so she should be very familiar with it." Sikong Xu suddenly smiled, and every word he said hit the concubine Yue's heart like a drumbeat, "Isn't there an old saying in the cold palace that calls Come in vertically, go out horizontally?"

Yuebi's face was distorted by fear in an instant, and she screamed: "You...you want to..."

"Your Majesty, don't blame me. This is the easiest way. Not only can you get out of this cold palace in an upright manner, but maybe you can even see your father." Looking at the scared face of the concubine, the corner of Sikong Xu's mouth twitched. The smile grew bigger and bigger, "It's more likely that when the father sees the empress's body and thinks about the benefits of the empress in the past, not only will the empress's status be restored, maybe there will be a posthumous concubine, a noble concubine, Empress and noble concubine, which one do you like, Madam?"

"Don't! Don't! I don't like any of them, I understand, I understand, I will stay in the cold palace obediently and will not go anywhere, you don't kill me! Don't kill me!" Yue Bi wanted to escape, but the room was small , and the only exit was behind Sikong Xu, she kept screaming, wanting the nanny in charge to save him, but soon Sikong Xu's words severely tore her hope apart.

"The nanny in charge has already been sent away by me, not to mention that there are countless women screaming madly in this cold palace every day. No matter how loud you scream, they won't come over."

"Kang Dang" Yue Concubine, who kept dodging, tripped over a chair, fell to the ground, thumped twice, her hands and feet were so soft that she couldn't get up no matter what.

Sikong Xu stretched out his fingers like white jade, and lifted up the black hair of Concubine Yue, looked at her face covered with tears and snot, and clicked his tongue twice, "Concubine Yue Gui, who was once dignified and noble, has today, you Don't worry, I will definitely beg my father to give you a decent posthumous title, which can satisfy your desire to become Concubine Hui, and it can also be regarded as my reward for shutting up with you forever and keeping the secret..."

"Ah!!!" The sharp screams resounded in the mid-air of the cold palace, but soon fell silent again, only startling two or three crows perched on the tree with crooked necks.
