The most beautiful lady in the harem

Chapter 284 5 Fingerprints

However, Doctor Zhang, who had served in the palace for many years and was always good at pediatrics, was somewhat helpless this time.

After giving the prince and princess medicine and injecting them with needles, there was still no movement.

All of a sudden, so many little princes and princesses were unwell. The imperial city was not big, but it was not small either. The news soon reached the ears of the two empresses dowagers.

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival. Wen Cairen and Qin Huaijin were both in the Cining Palace having lunch with the Empress Dowager Dong. So when they heard the news, they immediately accompanied the Empress Dowager Dong to the Changxin Palace.

When Concubine Xiao De saw a group of people coming with Wu Yaya, she shook her head and felt angry and amused.

How many of these people really care about the princes and princesses? Most of them come here to watch the fun or to fight. Especially those who followed behind the Empress Dowager Dong, in addition to Wen Cairen and Qin Huaijin, there were also some concubines of high status who lived nearby and came here after hearing the news, such as Liu Yiyi, Xie Jieyu and so on.

Concubine Xiao De and Qin Liuse looked at each other and shook their heads in their hearts.

It would have been fine if so many people hadn't come. But as they came, the prince and the little princess, who had just received acupuncture and were lying on the bed, suddenly screamed and twitched one after another. It was so scary to watch that I broke out in cold sweats.

This frightened the mothers. Concubine Ning looked at Princess Changle on the bed, and Concubine Li looked at her Princess Anle. They were all scared to tears.

"My Changle, how could this happen? How could this happen? Come and see mother quickly. Mother is here." Concubine Ning was already crying.

Empress Dowager Dong glanced at him, shook her head, looked at Doctor Zhang, asked him a few questions, frowned, thought for a moment and said, "It looks like he is possessed by evil spirits."

It really does look like it.

When Concubine Ning and Concubine Li heard this, they came to their senses.

Concubine Xin Shu believed this very much, and she quickly said, "Hurry up and call the people from the Imperial Observatory to come and take a look. Come quickly, ask the people from the Imperial Observatory to come over."

Doctor Zhang saw that the situation was so dire that he had no idea what to do. He just nodded and asked someone to go and invite him.

The Imperial Observatory took turns to report for duty and lived in the imperial city every day. When they were summoned today, they immediately came to the harem.

Looking at the solemn atmosphere in the palace, the Imperial Observatory couldn't help but come in with a frown.

When he entered the main hall, holding the compass in his left hand and the peach wood sword in his right hand, he first greeted the Empress Dowager and several masters, and then frowned and looked at the prince and princess on the bed.

First of all, the first words he said confirmed Queen Mother Dong's guess, "This is a person who is possessed by evil spirits."

Several concubines immediately walked to the side of the Imperial Observatory, surrounded him, and asked in a low voice, "What is the solution?"

"Can you do something quickly to get those ghosts to leave the prince and princess? If this continues, it will be disastrous."

The Empress Dowager Dong felt sad when she saw her grandchildren lying on the bed. She said with a bitter face, "Don't be too polite. Just do what you need to do. It makes me feel very sad to see you like this."

The Imperial Astronomical Observatory nodded solemnly, silently chanted a mantra, and then said, "Then I will come to the Changxin Palace to perform a ritual and ask the ghost why it fell on our prince and princess."

As soon as the Imperial Observatory said this, people immediately came to help set up the table and the altar.

For a moment, all the concubines in Changxin Palace, including the Empress Dowager Dong, moved to the courtyard, stood quietly, and watched the Imperial Observatory perform the operation.

The Imperial Observatory was holding a peach wood sword in his hand and walking quickly in circles in the courtyard of the Changxin Palace, waving the peach wood sword and chanting scriptures.

The concubines who were watching around were all feeling their hearts pounding.

"Are there any monsters?" The Imperial Observatory would occasionally utter a sentence, as if it was talking to ghosts or gods, which made people feel relieved when they heard it.

At the end of this process, the Imperial Observatory placed a piece of talisman paper on the candlestick.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, the incense altar that was originally filled with incense suddenly cracked, shattered to the ground, and the incense ashes spread out.

This made the concubines around them feel weak in the knees. They looked around, thinking that the evil creature must be around.

Those who firmly believed in ghosts and gods were all muttering, "It really exists, it really exists, what should we do?"

Empress Dowager Dong also frowned and asked sternly, "In that case, I'll have to trouble the Heavenly Master to catch that monster."

The Imperial Observatory responded, then covered his eyes with a piece of cloth and tied it at the back of his head. Just like that, he was blind, waving the peach wood sword in his hand, performing rituals in the yard, turning around, and chanting sutras. At the end, as if he was led by something, the peach wood sword was actually pointed at Qin Liuse's belly.

At the entrance of the main hall, Concubine Xiao De and Concubine Ning were standing next to Qin Liuse.

Seeing this scene, Concubine Ning and Concubine Xiao looked at each other and felt something was wrong.

Concubine Xiao De also whispered something in Concubine Ning's ear, "I'm afraid there's something fishy going on."

Concubine Ning also frowned and nodded.

Concubine Xiao De didn't expect that Concubine Ning would nod directly. She originally thought that this was her palace, and if she could support Qin Liuse, things wouldn't get into trouble so easily. That's why Concubine Xiao De said this to her directly just now.

Unexpectedly, Concubine Ning cooperated. She looked at the Imperial Astronomical Observatory that stopped in front of Qin Liuse, pushed his peach wood sword away and said, "Master, please don't hurt innocent people. This belly is the prince that our emperor is about to give birth to."

After hearing what Concubine Ning said, the Imperial Observer took off the cloth strip in front of his eyes.

Then, he seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the sudden light, and squinted his eyes until he saw the person in front of him clearly, and then he asked in a daze, "What happened just now?"

It was as if all this had nothing to do with him and he was completely unaware of it.

Concubine Li Xian, who was standing nearby, said quickly, "The Imperial Observatory has its eyes covered. It must have been possessed by a god just now, so it doesn't know anything."

The Imperial Observatory listened and nodded heavily, "If I have offended you, I am truly sorry..."

Although he said so, the meaning of the Imperial Observatory's hesitant words was that the person who identified Qin Liuse was not himself, but a god.

It is God's will.

The Queen Mother Dong said angrily, "How could this happen? Is it really Qin Zhaoyi's stomach, or is there something unclean in the herbal tea?"

The Imperial Observatory echoed, "It may not be Qin Zhaoyi. Seeing that the other people in Zhaoyang Palace ate it, they had no reaction except for a few princes and princesses. I think it was the ominous thing in the stomach that tampered with the herbal tea that the princes and princesses drank, causing the evil spirit to be possessed by them."

At this moment, Wen Cairen suddenly shouted from the main hall to the outside, "Queen Dowager, please come in quickly. The eldest prince and the little princesses are no longer crying. They are all fine, all fine!"

He was fine after the ritual was performed. Doesn't this just prove that there was something wrong with Qin Liuse's stomach?

All of a sudden, everyone who was originally standing in the corridor at the entrance rushed into the main hall.

But precisely because the princes and princesses had recovered, everyone's attention was now focused on Qin Liuse's belly.

Qin Liuse sneered in his heart and thought helplessly, this is really a big plate!

Why mobilize so many people and gather so many people here, isn't it just to besiege her?

I don’t know who the baby in her belly has offended.

Someone wanted to give her belly an ominous name, and it was said by the Imperial Observatory. If this were to get out, it would be a serious crime that would bring disaster to the country and the people.

These people would not be satisfied unless they got rid of her pregnancy.

What a vicious woman, with such vicious calculations and such a vicious heart.

Qin Liuse had been standing for a long time and was a little tired, so she held her belly and sat down on the chair next to her calmly, saying calmly, "This is groundless. How can you say that the baby in my belly is an evil thing?"

Concubine Xin Shu said, "We didn't say that. The immortals that the Imperial Observatory found said that."

Qin Liuse smiled, "How come you can believe what the Heavenly Master said, but I said my child is not that kind of child? This is the child of the Emperor and me. He is an evil creature, and what is the Emperor?"

Qin Huaijin, who had been standing beside the Queen Mother Pangdong, also spoke at this time. She looked up at the Imperial Observatory and said, "Master, please don't wrongly accuse my sister. However, for this kind of thing, may I ask if there is any solution?"

If someone didn't know that Qin Huaijin and Qin Liuse were not on good terms, they would think that Qin Huaijin was speaking for Qin Liuse after hearing what Qin Huaijin said.

The answer from the Imperial Observatory was, "Since it is an evil object, the only way to decrypt it is to destroy it."

This is very interesting. The Imperial Observatory means that only if Qin Liuse aborts the baby in her belly can she break free from these evil creatures and follow God's will.

Qin Liuse was so angry that she almost laughed. Her belly was so big, if she really wanted to abort it, the result would be two deaths and one corpse.

But come to think of it, the person who wanted her pregnancy might have been eyeing this outcome.

Qin Liuse sniffed, calmed herself down, and was no longer anxious for a moment.

The bigger the fuss about things like this, the better. The bigger the fuss, the more likely the truth will come out, and the people who want to harm her will be in even greater trouble.

Wen Cairen helped the Empress Dowager Dong to sit on the couch. Seeing Qin Liuse's angry look, she brought a pot of tea over, poured a cup of tea, and handed it to Qin Liuse, saying, "Qin Zhaoyi, don't take it to heart. The Imperial Observatory is talking about the child in your belly, not Zhaoyi. If those evil spirits find Zhaoyi's belly, there is nothing they can do about this kind of thing. As for children, there will still be children in the future."

Qin Liuse looked at Wen Cairen coldly. What a man who took advantage of her misfortune. He couldn't bear to see her doing well, but he was sarcastic to her.

She isn't even dead yet, and you're already coming to mourn her!

After Qin Liuse took the cup of tea, she poured it directly on Wen Cairen's face without any hesitation.

The tea was warm. When Qin Liuse poured it on him, Wen Cairen immediately screamed "Ah".

Qin Liuse just felt unhappy, so she raised her hand and slapped Wen Cairen again. This slap was for the child in her belly.

Qin Liuse used a lot of strength in this slap.

Five clear fingerprints immediately appeared on Wen Cairen's face.
