Chapter 70
The scorching sun was in the sky, and ice cubes were placed in the main hall of Xianya Palace to cool down, but Concubine Ning couldn't stop sweating from her forehead.

She sneered and said, "Sister Concubine Chen, what do you mean by this? If I really wanted to murder you, why would I put this box in my bedroom?"

Standing beside her, Shang Kelan looked down at Concubine Ning and said, "First, on the day I received the news that Concubine Ning's sister had miscarried, I went to Lanyue Palace to visit you with the empress dowager, but I encountered snakes, worms and rats. Ants and grimaces are scary, this is because there was a problem with the incense served by Lvxiang at that time."

Concubine Ning showed resentment in her eyes, tightly pinched her palms, raised her eyes to look directly at Shang Kelan and said: "I feel uncomfortable in my heart, I found some incense from outside the palace and came back, burning it to relieve boredom, what's the problem? "

Shang Kelan smiled faintly: "The incense is called Qianjuexiang. I ordered people to investigate the reasons for the appearance of snakes, rats, ants, and ghost faces. You ordered people to draw ghost faces on the pictures of Jiangshan Beauty and the pillars in advance, and then smoked them. Qianjuexiang, Qianjuexiang reacts with the paint of the ghost face, and the ghost face will appear at that time, thus creating the illusion that you are possessed by evil spirits."

"Combined with Concubine Hua's foreshadowing before, everything is logical, as if someone cast a spell on you."

Concubine Ning moved her mouth, wanting to defend herself, but Concubine Hua also looked anxious, for fear that the matter would be exposed.

When Shang Kelan mentioned her name just now, Concubine Hua couldn't help but jump violently in her heart.

But the Empress Dowager did not give Concubine Ning a chance to speak, but asked Shang Kelan, "How did you find out that there was something wrong with that incense?"

Shang Kelan replied calmly: "Empress Dowager, my concubine saw the fragrance of flowers attract butterflies when I was young, and saw that after Lvxiang lit the incense that day, it attracted many snakes, insects, rats and ants, so I thought of Xiang's body."

The queen also looked at her suspiciously and said, "But how do you know it's called Qianjuexiang? This fragrance belongs to me, and I've never heard it from a certain imperial physician."

The queen likes to mix incense, so she has done a lot of research on this incense.

Shang Kelan replied indifferently: "Empress, I don't know the name of this incense, but after some investigation, I found that there is indeed a kind of incense that can control beasts, causing snakes, insects, mice, and ants to go crazy. , and this kind of incense can only be prepared by the Li family, a medical family in Meizhou!"

Meizhou's medical family, the Li family?

There is only one person in the imperial palace who agrees with this condition, and that is Li Chenxiu—the Imperial Physician Li!

The queen mother suddenly realized, clicked her tongue and said: "So, this incense was prepared by Imperial Physician Li for Concubine Ning?"

Concubine Ning gritted her teeth, knelt in the hall, lowered her head and said weakly: "This concubine would never dare to do such a rebellious thing, besides, this concubine has been taught by my father's words and deeds since I was a child, how could I use such indecent means to murder Chen Chen?" Where's the concubine?"

In any case, she absolutely cannot admit that she directed and performed this exorcism on her own!

If she admits it, she will be the real culprit who blamed Concubine Chen. In the harem, she will never be able to hold her head up again, and she will also bring shame to the family!
The matter has come to this point, and everyone has seen it almost. Concubine Chen has nothing to do with the murder of Concubine Ning by sorcery.

Seeing Concubine Ning's sophistry, Shang Kelan hooked her lips into a cold smile.

She said lightly: "Empress Dowager, if Concubine Ning really had a miscarriage yesterday and fell into a coma today, she should not have the strength to walk on the ground. Since it has been proved that no one used witchcraft to poison Concubine Ning, in addition The concubine also found out that three days ago, Li Taiyi went to Lanyue Palace, and immediately went back to the Taiyuan Hospital to grab a pair of medicine for postpartum blood loss and give it to Lvxiang."

As soon as this remark came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the hall. Could it be that Concubine Ning had a miscarriage three days ago?

When the Queen Mother heard the words, she frowned and said, "Is there anyone to prove it?"

Shang Kelan smiled slightly, lowered her head and said respectfully: "Go back to the Empress Dowager, yes."

Concubine Ning finally couldn't bear it anymore, she was so angry that she couldn't care about anything else, Dang even stood up from the ground and grabbed Shang Kelan's hand, glaring at her fiercely and said: "I never leave traces when I do things, you don't It may be possible to catch Ben Gong!"

As soon as she finished speaking, in an instant, the hall was completely silent...

Unexpectedly, Concubine Ning didn't ask herself!
Lvxiang panicked, and hurriedly stepped forward to pull Concubine Ning away, and said in a low voice, "Your Majesty!"

The queen mother was furious, and she threw the teacup in front of Concubine Ning just after she replaced it!

With a "bang", the teacup shattered into pieces, just like Concubine Ning's heart skipped a beat!
At this moment, she realized what she said, and subconsciously, she let go of Shang Kelan in a panic, and looked closely at Jin Yantang, but saw Jin Yantang sitting on the main seat, looking at her indifferently.

There is no trace of emotion in his eyes, as if he is looking at a dead object!
Shang Kelan smiled, looked directly at Concubine Ning and said, "How is it? Concubine Ning still needs me to send Imperial Physician Li to confront her?"

Concubine Ning felt chills from Jin Yantang's gaze. Shock, resentment, and sadness were intertwined in her heart, which made her eyes go dark, and she collapsed powerlessly!

As if lack of oxygen, Concubine Ning only felt that she couldn't breathe, Luxiang's expression tightened, and hurriedly stepped forward to help her kneel on the ground.

At this moment, Lvxiang knew that if all the crimes were borne by Concubine Ning alone, then she and Concubine Ning would only end up as masters and servants!
No, in this harem, she doesn't want to die yet!
Lvxiang held hands tightly, the desire to survive spread from the bottom of her heart to her whole body, a fierce dark light flashed in her eyes, she lowered her head and kowtowed heavily to the Queen Mother: "Your Majesty, the slaves know The truth of the whole matter, this servant is willing to tell the whole story, I only pray that the Empress Dowager can spare the lives of Concubine Ning and this servant!"

A cold light flashed in Shang Kelan's eyes, but he didn't speak.

Concubine Hua's right eyelid twitched uncontrollably, subconsciously tightening the champagne in her hand.

Concubine Ning knelt softly beside her, relying on Lvxiang for half of her body so as not to fall down.

But the queen mother couldn't help laughing out of anger when she heard the words, and looked down at Lv Xiangdao: "You master and servant are using witchcraft to confuse the harem, and you are trying to let the Ai family take your life? Give the Ai family a Listen to the reason."

Lu Xiang suppressed the fear in her heart, resisted the trembling of her body, and said calmly: "Based on this matter, the concubine Hua is the mastermind!"

Jin Yantang's eyes flickered slightly, but he didn't speak.

Shang Kelan looked at her in surprise: "I didn't expect such a thing to happen?"

The Queen Mother froze for a moment, then frowned, and said seriously: "What's going on? Tell the Ai family about it in detail!"

Concubine Hua's heart trembled, and she quickly stood up and said, "What does this have to do with me? I didn't do anything at all. You lowly servant girl, don't jump over the wall and bite people!"

But Shang Kelan suddenly turned her gaze on her, and said with a half-smile: "Sister Hua Concubine, who is the mastermind of this matter, don't you want to know?"

At this moment, Shang Kelan became easy to talk again, but Concubine Hua only felt a tremor in her heart, and the feeling of uneasiness became even stronger!
