Royal daughter-in-law

Chapter 722 Adopting a daughter and recruiting a younger brother, privately offering sacrifices to the dead (5)
After finishing speaking, Jiang Yu stood up. Today's mission was completed, and she finally let go of her worries. Just as she was about to leave the palace of the dead, a cold wind blew up behind her.

She was startled and stopped walking. She didn't know if she was careless, but the sound of footsteps came, and she knelt down and kowtowed in fright: "Aunt, I'm already like this, what else do you want? Don't show up—— "

Before she finished speaking, she felt ice on the back of her neck, as if someone was pinching her. Jiang Yu was out of her wits, and she didn't care about being discovered. She was about to scream, but the pinching force increased, and she suddenly lost her mind and fell down.

Seeing that she was unconscious, the people behind picked her up and put her back next to the paper money incense candle that was gradually extinguished.

If I press this acupuncture point, I am afraid that I will not wake up after three poles in the morning.

The man glanced at the woman who was sleeping on the ground, and quickly exited the Fengzao Palace through the side door. After getting far away, his footsteps slowed down, as if nothing had happened.

When the guards patrolling at night saw him, they greeted him from time to time: "Guard Shen is also on duty tonight."

Shen Zhao's face was the same as before, with no expression on his face, he hummed, and walked slowly, and when he was far away from the palace guards, he quickly walked to a secluded sentry post in the palace where the night guards changed their guards and rested.

Beside the sentry post, Chu Xia had waited for a long time, when he saw someone coming, he knew it had been done, Shen Zhao was on duty in the palace, today he changed to a night shift to patrol the palace, and then went to Fengzao Palace to take care of Jiang Yu, it couldn't be easier.Then wait for tomorrow's good show.Chu Xia went forward to meet him: "Master Shen, thank you for your hard work. On behalf of the master, I would like to thank Master Shen."

She and herself, how could there be any thanks.Shen Zhao only said: "It's getting late, go back, so as not to be seen."

"Yes." Chu Xia hurriedly turned and left.

The next day, in the open space in front of the ancestral temple, several palace concubines burned incense and bathed before dawn, and gathered there, but Concubine Hui was nowhere to be seen.

Seeing that the sun was rising higher and higher, Eunuch Nian saw that the emperor's face was getting more and more unsightly, and he was also a little uneasy. This concubine Hui, why is she late at this time.

At this time, the palace servant who went to Tongguang Palace to invite Concubine Hui came back quickly, with a flustered expression, and said in a low voice: "Mr. gone."

"What?!" Eunuch Nian was taken aback, "Where did Concubine Hui go? Why didn't anyone follow her?"

The palace servant seemed to have something hard to say, and pressed it to Eunuch Nian's ear: "The maid said that Concubine Hui would not be followed, and went out alone in the dark, and asked her to prepare ingots and candles before..."

This is obviously going to worship the dead, and it is still sneaky, who will you go to worship?In a few days, isn't it the death of Empress Jiang?

Eunuch Nian understood, frowned, and ordered: "Go to Fengzao Palace to find someone!"

Turning his neck again, he saw that the emperor on the steps could hear clearly, his face completely collapsed, and he remained silent.

Two quarters later, footsteps came from the gate of the courtyard, and all the concubines followed the prestige to look over, they were all startled and rustled.

I saw Concubine Hui coming here with the help of a few palace people, not to mention burning incense and taking a bath in advance. At the moment, her hair is in a loose bun, she is not even wearing a formal dress, and she is slovenly. At first glance, she rushed here in a panic, showing blatant disrespect to the deceased. Not to mention, he still looks sleepy, and his legs are shaking when he walks, as if he has just been forcibly woken up!
The concubines and palace people did not dare to show their anger, even if they were late, they came here like this. Even the emperor woke up before dawn for the sacrifice today, and paid great attention to honoring the birth mother in the first year.

But this concubine Hui...does the opposite, and tramples on the most important thing of the emperor.

The face of the people on the steps was as dark as the weather before the storm. Even Nian's father-in-law was terrified when he saw it, so he hurriedly shouted: "Concubine Hui, hurry up and join the queue, the time for sacrifice is coming soon!"

But a deep voice came from the steps: "Where did you find Concubine Hui?"

Seeing the emperor's expression, the palace people who brought Jiang Yu didn't dare to hide it, so they could only tremble: "Fengzao Palace."

With a sneer, the man's voice became colder: "What is Concubine Hui doing in Fengzao Palace?"

"Concubine Hui seems to have burned paper money and ingots all night. Maybe she was exhausted and passed out before... fainted before the funeral of the former empress." The palace was obedient.

There was a commotion among the concubines. No one knew what the relationship between the emperor and the former empress was. It was fine for Concubine Hui to pay respects to Empress Jiang in private, but she also insulted the emperor's mother-in-law, Concubine Yuan, for Empress Jiang, and missed the hour!

Jiang Yu plopped down on her knees, her mind was still a little unclear, but she knew that a catastrophe was imminent: "Forgive me, my concubine, my concubine..." Her mind was in a mess, but she didn't know where to start, she only knew that she had been hit. There is no evidence or evidence for the trap, and I can't even sort out who harmed me and how I harmed myself. Moreover, even if I say it, it is of no use, I have indeed offended the emperor's anger.

Jiang Yu collapsed and went limp.

"Concubine Hui privately sacrificed to the dead, violated the palace rules, and was rude and late on the day of the Empress Dowager Xiaohui Shengzhuang Lie's sacrifice. She was confined to Tongguang Palace and was not allowed to move without purpose." Missing the sacrificial ceremony, he waved his hand and asked someone to send Jiang Yu back.

Within a day, the news that Jiang Yu had committed the wrath of heaven and lost power spread throughout the Sangong Sixth Courtyard.

The confinement and fine salary, although retaining the title, has been demoted from the current largest concubine Hui in the harem to a concubine, which is comparable to that of the filial son's birth mother, Lan Concubine.

Because of the great breach of etiquette, the management of the harem was unbearable, and the responsibility of assisting the harem was naturally handed over to Concubine Xu Kang.

It can be said that Jiang Yu fell from heaven to hell in a flash.

After returning to the Yaotai Pavilion in Chu Xia, she shook her head: "It seems that the emperor is really angry this time."

Yun Wanqin was not surprised. In order to avenge his biological mother, the emperor even went so far as to kill Empress Jiang. The status of Concubine Yuan in his heart can be imagined. Jiang Yu cut a knife in a place he couldn't touch. not angry?He didn't kill her on the spot because she was an old man for many years.

At this moment, Concubine Xu Kang's confidant maid came over and told Yun Wanqin that because of her disrespectful behavior, she couldn't bear to discipline the princess, Princess Dingyi also returned to the prince's house and was brought up under the name of Concubine Kang.

"Your Majesty specially asked this servant to thank Yun Meiren." The maid said respectfully, "Now Concubine Kang is no longer afraid of her, and if there is anything in the future, she will definitely discuss it with Yun Meiren. If Yun Meiren has any troubles, Kang Concubine I will make decisions for you."

Yun Wan smiled heartily. Concubine Xu Kang wanted to bring herself under her command. She only wanted to separate Jiang Yu and Concubine Xu Kang, and to suppress Jiang Yu's dominance in the harem so that Jiang Yu would not harm her again. Who to defect to, not to mention who to establish a small party in the harem, just said: "Remind your mother, remember to find a chance to go to Tongguang Palace, and just exchange the Mixiang I gave her. be found."

Two grams of Drunken Immortal Peach Blossom from Huatian, two grams of Nao Yang Hua, and two grams each of the antipyretic and analgesic Aconitum aconitum obtained from the Tai Hospital in the name of Xiao Yuanxiao's wind and cold, dried and ground into powder, and mixed with mosquito coils Or in aromatherapy, there is no toxicity at all, but it has the effect of drugging.
