When the astrologer was circling around her, she was already in a bad condition, on the verge of collapsing on her knees. After all, she was not the servant girl that served the mistress in the palace, but a little girl serving tea, what kind of heavy work could her Imperial Study have? If they met the emperor not going to the Imperial Study, then there would be nothing to do throughout the entire day, so there was no need to stand or kneel.
The palace maids beside the empress were still wondering if Imperial Noble Lady Ya's body was too weak. She could not even hold on after kneeling down for the whole morning. As for the Queen, she stared straight at Zhuang Li and the astrologer who was circling around her. It was probably because Empress Hui She had already determined that Zhuang Li was some kind of demon or ghost that she came to the imperial palace to harm the imperial harem.
The only people in the imperial palace were herself and. The other people were all the Imperial Noble Lady s who had to enter the palace on an annual basis, so it was natural that every woman in the imperial palace could enter the palace under her scrutiny.
This legendary Princess of West Cold belonged to the marriage alliance between two nations, so she couldn't stop it, but she could make things difficult for him. And she was sent into the Plum Court on the very first day she arrived. What kind of place was the Plum Garden? Even though Hui Wei and the Empress had been in the palace for many years, they had never heard of it.
When she went to find the old nanny who brought food to the palace to ask about this matter, she found out that the Plum Court was actually such a remote place within the palace, and it would even take her nearly an hour to walk from her palace to the Plum Court. At that distance, forget about the emperor returning to visit the Plum Court, even eunuchs and maids would not go there … Naturally, she could not be bothered with that Princess of West Cold anymore.
And later on, during the palace banquet, although she intentionally made it difficult for the Princess of West Cold for her to come up and dance, and also deliberately caused her to take off her veil, she was stopped by the emperor. She had doubts in her heart, but the emperor used his identity as the Princess of West Cold to be related to national affairs, so a single sentence from him made it impossible for her to continue being in a stalemate.
Later on, the Princess of West Cold was actually arranged by the Emperor to be on the side of the Imperial Study. After all, he had stayed on the edge of the Imperial Palace for nearly a year, so what would happen to the Imperial Noble Lady that the Emperor had abandoned to that place? What can go wrong? Besides, she was only a maid who served tea.
The days in the palace had always been boring and uninteresting. Although it was unpleasing for the emperor to ignore her, after all, the emperor had not paid any attention to Hanqin, right? None of the Imperial Noble Lady s in the palace had been able to enter him. This was the only thing that made her feel at peace.
Hanqin had been sickly since May. As a queen, she probably only gave some things to Yue Yang out of respect.
If it were any other day, Hanqin's sickness would have healed in less than ten days. She came over to pay her respects, and said a few words of concern to the Empress. Hanqin was just haggard and did not speak much. She had heard from the old nanny beside her that Hanqin had not had a good sleep for nearly two months. Occasionally, he would even talk nonsense, saying that there was something bad in the palace.
When people heard about this, they felt scared, there were many people in the imperial harem, so it was not easy to manage them, but when it came to the matters of the palace, naturally they felt wronged. In the Central Palace, there were many eunuchs and maids who died due to grievances, and from the looks of Hanqin's sickly appearance, it seemed that something bad had really happened. And everyone knows that His Majesty hates the existence of the voodoo Gu.
But isn't there an astrologer in the palace? A dead horse could be treated as a living horse. It was not a bad thing for someone to have a look.
He didn't expect that the astrologer would bring the Imperial Noble Lady Ya back after wandering around the palace …
If not for this, she would have almost forgotten that such a person existed. Now that she had seen him for herself, she could be considered a little curious.
The moment the Empress and Hui Ran saw Zhuang Li, they knew that no matter what, they would not allow this person to take even half a step out of Huhe Palace. She stared unwaveringly at the woman who had suddenly collapsed to the ground, her heart filling with hatred.
How could she let such a person stay by the emperor's side for so long?
This was her mistake, and also her miscalculation …
But luckily, she found out now. It wasn't too late to make up for it now as long as she could make up for it.
When the astrologer circled her three times, the woman suddenly fell to the ground. The old nanny went over to touch the artery on her neck and reported to the empress.
"Empress, he did not die. It's probably because his body is too weak."
The empress stared fixedly at the astrologer and asked, "Does she have a problem?"
The astrologer was an old man in his fifties. His beard was long and untrimmed. He took a thread and tied it neatly together.
In Zhuang Li's eyes, they were just pretending to be mysterious, but in the eyes of those mistresses, they had become authority.
He frowned as if he was thinking about something. Finally, he shook his head.
"To the empress, no problem."
"No problem?!"
"This old subject doesn't dare to speak carelessly. This woman really has nothing to do with the barrier in the palace …" The source of the Evil Qi is related to that young eunuch in the Mourning Palace. "
The moment these words left his mouth, a young eunuch kneeling in the corner suddenly began to kowtow continuously, his entire body trembling from fear.
"Empress, spare my life! This servant had only been in the palace for two months, how could there be such an evil aura? The empress was enlightened! Slave … How could this servant harm Imperial Noble Consort Hanqin!? This servant has never seen Imperial Noble Consort Hanqin before … "
The pretty girl on the seat was exceptionally cold. "Two months?" Coincidentally, Hanqin was sick for two months. It's a good time for you to enter the palace. "
The young eunuch collapsed onto the ground.
"Empress, empress … "Your servant has never done anything to disappoint esteemed wangfei …"
"Drag him out and kill him." The empress snorted coldly, not even bothering to raise her head. She took the teacup offered to her by the palace maid beside her, took a sip, and handed it back.
Then he asked the astrologer, "Where are the others?"
"In reply to the Empress, everyone else is fine."
The woman took a deep breath, she was still too lazy to lift her head and said, "Alright, you can go now."
With that said, a palace maid stood out as if sending off guests. Naturally, the astrologer respectfully kowtowed to the empress twice before accepting the golden cake that the palace maid handed to him.
After receiving such a heavy reward from the empress, in addition to the rewards from the previous, he had to immediately ride her horse back to his hometown, buy a big house, and marry several wives!
He secretly felt the weight of the golden cake. It felt heavy … A woman indeed profited before her …
However, this kind of business can only be done once … If there was even the slightest bit of nostalgia. [I am afraid I don't have the luck to spend this money …]
He had already stayed in the palace long enough. When he was young, the constitutional emperor had trusted the astrologer, so no matter what he did, he had to first calculate everything. His master was the one who served the former emperor.
However, when the Emperor ascended the throne, his own master stood up and muttered something about not fighting West Cold … Because former emperor likes to hear such words... But in the blink of an eye, his master was dragged out to be cut down by the emperor …
The Starlord Manor began to decline …
The Emperor not only wanted to deduct his pay, he also wanted to cripple the Star-Seizing Manor long ago. If he wasn't too lucky, the emperor would have completely forgotten about him …
Now that he was pointing at the imperial harem again, it would be strange if the emperor didn't chop off his head to vent his anger … Of course we have to take the money and run...
"If everyone else has nothing to do, they should just leave." After saying this, the empress stood up as well, and immediately a palace maid began to tidy up the wrinkles on her clothes.
She walked out step by step, bringing with her the noble aura and loneliness of a queen. Only when she arrived at the door did the old nanny near it ask her this question.
"Empress, what should we do with the Imperial Noble Lady Ya lying on the ground? Right now, her aura is very weak. If we don't announce the Imperial Physician, it'll be hard to say whether she'll survive or not. "
The corner of Wai's and Empress's lips curved up into a cold smile. She turned around and glanced at the old nanny …
"What do you think we should do?" After speaking, she left. She gradually disappeared into the distance. This was the most powerful woman in the Great Phoenix. She was incomparably noble and she rose up like a lotus flower with every step she took.
Naturally, old nanny understood after serving her for so many years. She called over the two palace maids beside him and instructed them, "Watch her until you can confirm that there's no more Imperial Noble Lady s in the palace who will call Ge Ya."
That day, the light was especially bright, and was so bright that even though the sun had risen thousands of miles into the sky, the emperor still hadn't come down in the afternoon. Qing You was anxious as she walked around the courtyard of the Imperial Study. She did not have the order badge, so she could not go to the Heart Nurturing Palace. If she could find the Eunuch Li, she definitely would have a way to save Zhuang Li.
"Aunt Qing You? Then where did the Imperial Noble Lady Ya go? " Qing You raised her head and saw a small head popping out from the entrance of the Imperial Study.
Isn't this the Xiao Wanzi from the Dew Palace that day?
"No, don't bother me."
"I, Little Dan, naturally have good eyesight. Tell me, what are you worrying about?"
"Move aside, don't block my way." Regardless of whether or not she could go to the Heart Nurturing Palace to see the Eunuch Li, she had to give it a try right now.
"If you tell me, I will naturally help you. Who am I, Xiao Wanzi, and how many connections do I have in the palace? If there is anything you need help with, just leave it to me. " He even patted his shriveled chest. If he were to look at her normally, he would definitely find her cute.
"How can you help? With just you? "
Qing You was extremely impatient, but that little kid still continued to pester Qing You.
"It's fine if you don't tell me, but where did the Imperial Noble Lady Ya go? I was looking for her. "
"Imperial Noble Lady Ya was brought to Huhe Palace by some strange person. Are you satisfied? Get out of my way, I need someone to save her. "
"What!?" When Xiao Wanzi heard this news, his reaction was even greater than Qing You's, giving him a big fright.
Qing You could not be bothered to care about him, and quickly disappeared from the entrance of the Imperial Study.
Zhuang Li didn't know how long she had slept for, but this time, it was not very well. It was as though she had lived a lifetime of pain and suffering.
She kept thinking of her mother. She remembered that her mother sent her to school, sent her to the school gate, and then left. She could only remember how her mother looked when she was young.
She remembered that when she was at school, she saw a little boy. Although she did not recognize the child, she wanted to call him Wang Su.
Extremely serious...
Occasionally, she would run in the wilderness, surrounded by weeds taller than her, unceasingly extending out of her body. Pushing aside the surrounding reeds, the sharp leaves scratched her body until it was covered with cuts and bruises …
But no matter how painful it was, she didn't dare to stop …
She realized that she was looking for someone. Her mother, Wang Su, Duan Weilan, Qing You, Li Liangxiao, Mr. Bai …
She was afraid that if she stopped, she would never hear from them again.
Therefore, she had to keep on running. If she fell, she would get up. If her leg was broken, she would also have to crawl forward …
In her memory, although her mother looked tired due to her fatigue, she still looked young and warm. She constantly taught herself that she had to listen to her teacher and work hard in her life …
However, he had already worked very hard. He really didn't have any extra strength left …
"Little Li, don't be afraid. Mom has her own hands, so she can naturally support you. Of course, my children who are healthy and healthy can live on. "
"You're still very young right now. When you grow up, you'll know how easy it is for you to live on your own …"
"Mr. Bai, if Mr. Bai hit you, then it's your fault. If it's your turn, then he won't hit you again." So you listen to the old gentleman. "
She kept walking forward, but she didn't even know where she was heading. The one guiding her was actually the bell sound.
She thought of the worn-out copper bell in the astrologer's hand. It didn't seem possible at all, but that voice suddenly swelled in her mind …
You can't get rid of him...
So that astrologer wasn't joking … He really did have a certain type of magic that made Zhuang Li feel extreme fear whenever she thought of him …
Then, was he the monster in the eyes of others?
If he wasn't, then why did that bell sound have such a frightening effect on him?
Life is better than death …
Then if he was not a monster, then what was he?
I... In the end … Yes... Who...
A sigh came from the wind. He didn't know if he was answering her question.
Some of the reeds were dried and broken branches. When she stepped on them, a hole appeared in them. Fresh blood flowed from the bottom of her feet, and all that she walked through was blood …
