"I want to see the noble concubine."

"Get up." Concubine Yan casually looked at Pearl, but saw that she was tall, thin and beautiful. Because of long-term fatigue, a white face turned yellow, and her body was the maid's clothes, but it had not been replaced for several years.

Pearl got up and looked timidly at the legendary noble concubine in the majestic harem. Since Queen Du was forced to leave the palace, this prominent noble concubine has been the actual jurisdiction of the six palaces. Moreover, her method of acting is more fierce than that of Queen Du. Although she has not ascended the position of queen, she is still superior to the queen.

Why did such a noble concubine, who holds power in the harem, summon her as a low-servant maidservant alone?

"Zhuer, the life of Wuqi Hall is very bitter, isn't it?" The noble concubine Yan pretended to be polite.

"Where there is a dancing concubine, I will go wherever I go. I don't feel bitter." Pearl raised her eyes slightly and responded well.

What a good girl! Concubine Yan approved her heart. After a moment, she asked, "I heard that Concubine Wu is sick. How is she now?"

"If you go back to the Empress, my Empress just feels a little cold, and it's not a big deal. It's good to raise her." Pearl answered, with no doubt in her heart. Listening to the Noble Concubine Yan just talking to her, it seemed to be irrelevant. In this case, why did she invite her to come?

"I heard that you people in South Vietnam believe in witchcraft, and some people will seek treatment from witch doctors when they are seriously ill." Noble Concubine Yan gradually introduced the topic to the topic, "Is there such a thing?"

"I have been in the palace for many years, and I have forgotten those old things for a long time." Pearl replied quietly, "I don't know what a witch is."

Witches are strictly forbidden in the palace of the Han people. Long before sending Princess Wuyang to the palace, Zhao Yi, the king of Nanyue, repeatedly told her. After Pearl entered the palace, she also occasionally heard other maids talk about the witchcraft incident. For example, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, two empresses died in the witchcraft incident. The former, he promised that the Empress Chen, who promised to hide the "golden house", should make a puppet to curse Mrs. Wei and be imprisoned in the Changmen Palace, and then died of depression. The latter was Mrs. Wei after becoming the queen, who was also framed for offending the sycoon Jiang Chong, and framed her witchcraft, and ended up taking poison and dying. Therefore, after entering the palace, she and the dance concubine and Han Xiang got rid of all her original habits in South Vietnam, and followed the customs in the mentality of entering the mirror and living peacefully in the Beiqi harem. This time, what did Noble Concubine Yan have in mind when she was involved in this?

"I heard that the sister of the dance concubine has not been favored for a long time, and she has two hearts and curses the palace and the emperor." Concubine Yan looked calm and stern, "Now the people in this palace have gone to the backyard of Wuqi Hall to search, and I believe there will be a result soon."

"My Empress has never done this. Even if the noble concubine sends someone to search, there will be no result." Pearl vetoed it.

Yan Guifei sneered and was extremely charming: "What if I said there was?"

"Does the Empress want to frame my Empress?" Pearl Ice and Snow is smart, and now she guesses the intention of Noble Concubine Yan.

"It's not a false accusation." Noble Concubine Yan smiled indifferently, "It's just that if you know something you shouldn't know, you can only blame fate."

"Mother! My mother is the princess of South Vietnam. If you frame her, the whole people of South Vietnam will not let you go!" Pearl moved out the political background of the dance concubine in an attempt to make Concubine Yan stop.

However, how can Yan Guifei, who has been in a crazy state for a long time, hear the words of Pearl? Tonight, the reason why she ordered people to call this relatively thoughtful Pearl is to make it easy for Xiaochuanzi and the other people she sent to Wuqi Hall.

"South Vietnam is far away from the sky, not to mention the water spilled by the married daughter, no one will care about it." Concubine Yan smiled and said, "Who dares to make me unhappy? I will make her unhappy all her life!"

"Mother, you will be punished if you do these unreasonable things! People are watching..."

"Red silk, palm!" The imperial concubine Yan gave the order angrily.

Hongqi answered "yes" and walked to Pearl, and her palm fell on her thin cheeks like raindrops. After a few cracks, Pearl's cheeks swelled up high, and her bright red palm was imprinted on it, which was shocking.

"No...Please don't hurt my mother, she...she doesn't have the heart to compete for favor..."

Before Pearl's words could be finished, the imperial concubine Yan had ordered the palace people to drag her down and ordered with a gesture: poison. Her simple order made Pearl become her puppet and let her use it.

Noble Concubine Yan sent people to search, which made the dance concubine and Han Xiang panic. However, at this most critical moment, Pearl, who could best make the decision to deter everyone, was not present. Therefore, the dance concubine and Han Xiang could only watch Xiaochuanzi lead a group of servants to search in the backyard.

Wuqi Hall is really deserted. At the beginning, the dance concubine was demoted here, and the maids of honor assigned to her by the other empress dowager were unwilling to follow. They came to this desolate place to suffer and never abandon her. Only Pearl and Hanxiang, who had been with her since childhood in South Vietnam. The three masters and servants lived here for several years. Except for the hardships, they were at peace with each other. If something happened, it would be the part of the wall that I didn't mean to hear this afternoon.

The dance concubine regretted that she was stubborn at that time and insisted on going out of the hall. If it hadn't been for the period that should not have been done, the three masters and servants would not have heard the conversation between Xiaochuanzi and a maid of honor, and would not have provoked the powerful concubine Yan.

This time, Princess Yan sent so many people to search. What on earth did she feel?

"This father-in-law, my mother-in-law is not tired of winning. I think it's a mistake." Han Xiang tried his best to explain.

Xiao Chuanzi raised his eyes and smiled, and said indifferently, "Is there any mistake? I didn't know until I searched. I was just ordered to act. I hope the Empress doesn't be surprised."

"If your mother and my mother change their position, can you not be surprised?" Han Xiang said angrily.

"Incense, don't talk nonsense." The dance concubine shouted sharply.

This Ogawako has a bad reputation in the harem. If anyone offends him, he will definitely repay him.

Ogawako glanced at the two people carelessly and didn't pay attention to them at all.

"Eunuch Zheng, I found one here!" A waiter reported.

"Find one here too!" Another waiter announced loudly.

"What?" The dance concubine heard it inexplicably and didn't know what their so-called "find" meant.

Xiaochuanzi saw the question of the dance concubine and explained word by word, "Well, the emperor and the empress dowager are not feeling well recently. Our empress suspected that there was someone in the palace who was disgusted and cursed the emperor and the empress dowager with witches, so she ordered the villain to search. I didn't expect..."

"What didn't you think of?" The dance concubine asked in a hoarse voice, and then coughed heavily.

"This thing can be found in the backyard of the Empress's Palace." Ogawako laughed arrogantly, "Haha... It is said that witchcraft is prevalent in South Vietnam, and some people even use witchcraft to seek medical treatment..."

"Presumptuous! What are you talking about? The dance concubine shouted harshly.

"Is it a little nonsense? I want the noble concubine to judge the matter." Xiaochuanzi returned to normal, "Come on, take these two away!"

"I didn't do anything! I'm not leaving!" The dance concubine intended to refuse, but because of her physical weakness, she was reluctant to be driven away by the maid.

"My sister, after a few years, everything is fine?" The appearance of Yan Guifei has not changed at all as many years ago. She is still so beautiful and noble that people can't guess what kind of snake and scorpion heart is hidden under her beautiful appearance.

"Don't pretend. Isn't it just because I know that you have done something shady, and I'm afraid that I will say it, so it's better to do it first and frame me?" The dance concubine looked at her coldly.

"I haven't seen you for a few years, but my sister's temper hasn't changed at all." Yan Guifei smiled more happily, "Ogawako, present the evidence."

"Yes." Ogawako answered and presented the two puppets on the other hand.

Two puppets, one wearing a dragon shirt and a golden crown, is described by the emperor, with a needle in the abdomen; one is a woman, also a yellow shirt, which looks like the empress dowager, and also has a needle in the abdomen.

"Now the empress dowager is seriously ill, and the emperor is busy with state affairs. In the harem, everything is up to me. So..." Concubine Yan approached Concubine Wu and stared at her for a long time. Fang said, "My sister violated the national law this time. Don't blame my sister for being ruthless and handling it impartially."

"Yan Moyun, you don't need to say these high-sounding reasons. You even dare to frame the queen. What else are you afraid to do?" The dance concubine spat, and her face was full of contempt.

"In order to show justice, I will bring the empress dowager's aunt Cuiwei to the trial." Concubine Yan said and ordered Hongyan to invite her in person.

After a long time, Cuiwei was invited.

"Aunt Cuiwei, I invite you to come today. I want you to be a witness so that you can report this matter to the Empress Dowager." Concubine Yan smiled on her chest, "Come on, give me a seat."

"The Empress always handles harem affairs. She is fair and strict, and the old slave knows it." Cui Wei said and did not give in, so she sat down in the chair.

"Ogawako, bring Pearl up." When Yan Guifei saw that the situation was under her control, she asked Xiaochuanzi to invite the previously captured Pearl. However, this sharp and central Pearl, after taking a kind of poison, is no longer the former Pearl.

The dance concubine looked at Pearl, who was stunned and her cheeks were high and swollen, and asked angrily, "What have you done to Pearl?"

"I didn't do anything." Yan Guifei smiled and was calm. Pearl has admitted the crimes you have committed before.

"What crime?" The dance concubine asked.

"I won't admit it yet!" Princess Yan didn't look at her, but showed the two puppets to Cuiwei.

"What is this?"

"This is the material evidence that this woman from a foreign country cursed the emperor and the empress dowager." Concubine Yan said swishly and pointed to Pearl and said, "This girl Pearl is a witness."
