Imperial Consort Lan visiting?
Mo Hua and Ye Qiongjiang were stunned at the same time.
Not long later, the Imperial Consort Lan walked in, and the palace maid, Begonia, followed closely behind.
”Chenqie greets your majesty.” Imperial Consort Lan bowed slightly as she greeted, her smile warm and kind. ”Is the emperor here to visit Sister Qiong Fei too? ”They're thinking the same thing as chenqie.”
”No need for formalities.” Mo Hua laughed, ”Did your beloved concubine come to see Imperial Consort Qiong?”
She sat down and held Imperial Consort Qiong's hand, then said with a face full of guilt: ”Previously, I heard that my younger sister wasn't feeling well, so I was worried as well. Originally, I wanted to send some tonic for my younger sister, but I didn't think that …”
”Elder sister Imperial Consort Lan, there is no need to worry. It is not your fault. ”My little sister is still moved by big sister's kind intentions.” Ye Qiongjiang gently retracted her hand.
Imperial Consort Lan saw this and felt even more guilty. ”I really made my sister suffer, I should have come to visit earlier, but I was delayed by my weak body, so I dragged it out for a few days. I am really sorry for my sister. Sister, you won't blame me, right? ”
Fang Chun curled her lips. What was being dragged down by a weak body? If she was really weak, could she seduce the Emperor into going to the Blue Mist Palace for a few days in a row?
”How could that be? Big sister is the one who was accidentally poisoned. I should be the one to go and see you.” Ye Qiongjiang swept a glance at Mo Hua who was sitting upright, and lowered his eyes.
When Mo Hua saw this, he sighed in his heart. As the Emperor Palace's concubine, it was unsuitable for him to participate in the harem's discord. He could only laugh twice, get up and say: ”You guys get closer, we still have some memorials to read, so we'll come over later.”
”Your Majesty, please wait!” The Imperial Consort Lan felt that the Emperor was about to leave when he suddenly spoke up to urge him to stay, ”Your Majesty, apart from visiting the Sister Qiong Fei, there is another matter that I wish to speak about. The Emperor is here, and we can report to you together. ”
”Oh?” Seeing her speak with such seriousness, Mo Hua also became suspicious. With some interest, he sat back down and asked: ”What is it?”
Ye Qiongjiang looked at her in confusion.
Imperial Consort Lan did not say anything, only glancing at the palace maids and eunuchs who were waiting on them in the room. Ye Qiongjiang understood and waved, saying, ”All of you can leave.”
”Yes.”
The palace maids and eunuchs all withdrew, even closing the doors behind them. Only the emperor's concubine and his personal eunuch were left in the room.
Mo Hua said indifferently, ”What exactly happened? ”Go ahead.” Such a solemn attitude … was there really something big?
The Imperial Consort Lan got up, bowed to the Emperor, and said, ”Chenqie has been bedridden and recuperating from poison for the past few days. Since I had nothing to do during the day, I had Begonia borrow a few books from the library to read. But who would have thought that with just a single look, I would coincidentally see a book about strange techniques in the Celestial Sect of Wonders. ”
When she finished speaking till here, she paused for a moment. Imperial Consort Lan glanced at Ye Qiongjiang lightly, and then continued, ”Chenqie didn't pay too much attention to it in the beginning, after all, the content was somewhat profound and difficult to understand. Chenqie was only casually flipping through it, but she was shocked by the content of the chapter inside.”
She reached behind her back, and then the Begonia took out a page from her sleeve, and was presented to the Emperor by Imperial Consort Lan. ”Your Majesty, please look.”
Mo Hua's pupils congealed, as though a cluster of sparks had been ignited from within, and his expression suddenly changed greatly!
Ye Qiongjiang was a little baffled. What exactly did she see that made him act like this?
Just as he was pondering, he heard Mo Hua ask in a low voice: ”Who sent this?”
The corner of Imperial Consort Lan's lips lifted slightly, but she returned back to normal and softly replied, ”Imperial Consort Hui.”
”Announce Imperial Consort Hui.”
Mo Hua's voice was incomparably cold and solemn. This concubine, in his eyes, had always been a docile and quiet woman.
Qing An immediately went out to give his instructions, and a small eunuch passed on the message.
Ye Qiongjiang glanced at the Imperial Consort Lan with a Xiao Su face, then looked at the sullen Mo Hua, and asked suspiciously, ”Can Your Majesty also let chenqie take a look?” What exactly was written on that page?
Mo Hua muttered to himself for a moment, then handed the book over, ”After all, this is something that happened to you, you have the right to know about this matter.”
Ye Qiongjiang took it and looked down, but before he could say anything, Fang Chun, who was standing behind her and stretching her neck to look, was the first to cry out in shock, ”Ah! Empress! ”This!”
With a loud scream, Fang Chun jumped out of the window, ran to the window, and picked the Polygonum multiflorum Thunb off of it. As if that thing carried a plague, he threw it far away from the window.
Ye Qiongjiang stood firmly, the words on the page were clear, a Polygonum multiflorum Thunb with eight horns was the tool to guide the ghosts, they could not be hung normally, if not, when the yin qi gathered again, it would be detrimental to the master.
The light ones would be sick and entangled, while the heavy ones would take one's life.
Mo Hua frowned slightly as he watched Fang Chun's actions. She had already gone out to retrieve the Polygonum multiflorum Thunb that had been thrown out.
