Hearing Concubine Zhang's scream, Concubine Lin was the first to enter.

"Why are you making such a fuss? " she asked with a frown.

Concubine Zhang had always been timid and fearful. When she saw the broken incense stick in Concubine Wu's hand and saw Concubine Lin's dissatisfied expression, her eyes immediately turned red.

She choked up and said, "My lady, I didn't mean it, but look at the incense in Lady Wu's hand..."

Soon after, other concubines also hurried over, and when they saw the broken incense stick, their faces changed drastically.

Abbot Tongguang then walked in, counting his Buddhist beads and chanting "Amitabha".

Breaking the incense in front of the Buddha is a bad sign.

The queen was seriously ill, and those who came to pray for blessings should be people with great fortune. However, Concubine Wu had only been in the Buddhist temple for a few seconds when the incense fell to the ground.

This is not a good sign.

Concubine Sun speculated: "Perhaps the Buddha is unwilling to accept this incense and feels that something is wrong."

Concubine Zhang also said, "Yes, Concubine Wu and I took the incense together. It was fine when we took it, but it broke as soon as it reached Concubine Wu's hand."

The wise monk stood aside, with the same surprised look on his face as everyone else, as if all the trouble had nothing to do with him.

Seeing this, Qi Changzai's eyes flashed with understanding, and she said with a slight smile: "I don't know what Concubine Wu did to make the Buddha so angry."

The words of the three people further confirmed that Concubine Wu was an ominous person.

Concubine Wu looked down at the incense in her hand with an expression of disgust.

[It is indeed a shoddy construction of Xiangguo Temple. Look, even the incense sticks are broken. ]

Lu Changzai defended Wu Guiren, saying, "Maybe there's something wrong with the incense itself, that's not impossible."

Although Concubine Shu was skeptical about the talk of gods and Buddhas, she also understood that if this matter were to be spread, it would probably attract a lot of criticism.

So Concubine Shu looked back and asked, "What do you think, Concubine?"

Concubine Lin cannot openly favor Concubine Wu.

She said, "The rest of you, please offer incense in the original order."

Concubine Lin said in a bad tone: "Praying for the Queen is a big deal. If anyone dares to play tricks, I will report to the Emperor after returning to the palace and punish you severely!"

Her gaze was like a knife, sweeping across the crowd, finally lingering for a moment on the faces of several regulars.

Everyone fell silent, knowing that the Imperial Concubine was the most respected in all matters on this trip.

Even though some people have a lot of things to say at this moment, they dare not act rashly.

Then Concubine Qi, Concubine Mu and Concubine Lu nodded their heads, took the incense from Monk Zhihui, and walked to the Buddha together.

Under the solemn gaze of the Golden Buddha, the three people reverently completed the incense offering ceremony and inserted the incense into the incense burner until it stood firmly.

Throughout the whole process, no one's incense was broken.

Concubine Shu asked Monk Zhihui, "Did Concubine Wu get her incense from you?"

A wise monk should be.

Concubine Sun smiled and said, "The sisters are all safe and sound, so the problem must not be with Xiang herself. So... is Concubine Wu really an unlucky person?"

"Sister Sun, you believe in such unreal things?" Yuepin curled her lips, "Sister Sun questioned my saying that the palace was haunted before in the Queen's Palace, saying that I was just teasing everyone."

[Double standards, Sun Bin is just that kind of person. ]

Wu Qing had no intention of becoming the center of attention. Instead, he watched the show with great interest.

To her, it doesn't matter whether they are ominous people or not.

——The emperor would not sentence her to death just because she was an unlucky person.

When Concubine Sun heard what Concubine Yue said, she choked.

After hearing Wu Qing's thoughts, she glared at her fiercely.

Concubine Lin waved her hand, seemingly not caring about the broken incense sticks. "It's just a few broken incense sticks, why make a fuss about it?"

Qi Changzai suddenly knelt down and said loudly: "My queen, please listen to me. This matter is not as simple as it seems."

Hearing this, Concubine Lin narrowed her eyes dangerously, "Oh?"

Qi Chang took a deep breath and said slowly, "Your Majesty, do you still remember that Concubine Wu's sedan chair was the only one among us that was broken?"

Speaking of this, Concubine Zhang immediately remembered it.

She quickly took over the topic and nodded, "Yes, Imperial Concubine, this matter cannot be taken lightly. This is to pray for the Queen's blessing."

Qi Changzai continued, "If there wasn't an ominous sign on Concubine Wu, how could there be such a coincidence? Her sedan chair broke down, and her incense burned out."

Concubine Lin looked at Concubine Qi, her tone already very impatient: "What do you mean by that?"

Qi Changzai said respectfully, "Your Majesty, Concubine Wu is ill-fated and unworthy of praying for the Queen. In my opinion, you should send her back, so that the Queen will not be affected by her bad luck."

[Wow, as expected of Concubine Qi, her mind works really fast, connecting the two events of the sedan chair and the incense burning, and directly confirming the unknown fact of mine.] Wu Qing sighed.

[Eh? Qi Changzai is right, it is indeed a coincidence, why are they all me? ]

[It’s all my fault that I prayed to too many gods. I prayed to Bodhisattva, God of Wealth, God, Satan, and God of Land. It’s understandable that Buddha was angry.]

Concubine Lin sneered.

coincide?

There are no coincidences in this harem!

Who is this blind person who deliberately wants to frame Concubine Wu?

Saying that Lady Wu is an unlucky person? Ridiculous.

There is no greater blessing here than her!

Concubine Lin's eyes, like ice in winter, gradually focused on Concubine Qi.

Under the watchful eyes of the public, she was in charge of the power and could not just fool around with this matter. But according to what Qi Changzai said, sending Wu Qing back was absolutely impossible.

How is this different from announcing to the six palaces that Wu Qing is an unlucky person?

She said, "It's getting late. I'm afraid it's not a good idea to send anyone back now."

Concubine Shu continued, "Noble Lady Wu may not be an unlucky person, but if she continues to pray for the queen, she will inevitably be criticized."

Concubine Lin nodded and said, "I think so too. Concubine Wu does not need to participate in the next incense offering ceremony. After this blessing activity is over, you can return to the palace with us."

Qi Chang opened her mouth and wanted to say something.

This was completely different from what she had originally imagined!

If she just brushed the matter aside like that, Concubine Li would definitely scold her when she returned to the palace.

At this moment, Concubine Lin gave her a cold look, full of impatience and anger.

Qi was often shocked by this look, and her heart sank suddenly.

She lowered her eyes, knowing that it was time to stop, otherwise the imperial concubine would definitely suspect her.

Tongguang saw all the conflicts between the concubines.

For him, this is actually a good thing.

Tongguang stood up and said in a loud voice: "Amitabha. My dear guests, it is time for dinner. Please follow me."
