Su Wanti was led by the palace maid to the Buddhist Fragrance Pavilion.
The Buddha Fragrance Pavilion is fully equipped with all the tools needed for copying scriptures, such as pens, ink, paper, and inkstones.
On the left side of the desk were placed the Buddhist scriptures to be copied, a total of ten volumes, stacked half a meter high.
It seems that, as the Queen said, it will take a while to finish copying, and I have to prepare to copy for several days.
Su Wanti sighed softly, then thought for a moment and called Ai Ye.
"Ai Ye, go to the Qinzheng Palace and tell Eunuch Kang that I'm copying scriptures in the Buddhist Incense Pavilion. Tell the emperor that there's no need to look for me in the Weiyang Palace. Don't let him wait in vain."
These days, after Leng Hong left court and finished handling state affairs in the Qinzheng Hall, he would come to the Weiyang Palace to accompany her.
She was afraid that she would not be able to return to the palace during the day, so she had to tell Leng Hong as soon as possible.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Ai Ye agreed crisply, took a few steps back, turned around and walked out of the Buddhist Fragrance Pavilion.
At this time, a palace maid lit sandalwood in front of the desk.
The lingering aroma makes people feel peaceful and at ease.
Su Wanti rubbed her fingers and wrists, took off the Duobao ring on her fingers and the gold bracelet on her wrist, and then washed her hands with the fragrant soup made from sandalwood powder.
After everything was ready, he stood in front of the desk, picked up the brush, and began to copy the scriptures.
She can read, but she is not used to using a brush and cannot write well.
The Buddhist Incense Pavilion has purple-hair brushes prepared for it.
The purple-hair brush has delicate strokes, and the words it writes have beautiful and clean lines.
But the same thing happened in Su Wanti's hand. One could roughly tell what the words she wrote were, but they were ugly.
Each stroke is pointed upwards, some are thick, some are thin. The structure of the whole character is not good, not tight, but very loose. Each character is like Zhang Fei's beard, sticking out and curling.
Su Wanti wrote a few words, looked at them, sighed lightly, and continued writing.
After receiving Su Wanti's instructions, Ai Ye left the Buddhist Incense Pavilion and trotted all the way to the Diligent Administration Hall.
The Buddha Fragrance Pavilion is not close to the Diligent Administration Hall, and you have to pass by an imperial lake on the way.
Ai Ye knew that the emperor was going to Weiyang Palace every morning. She was afraid that if she didn't tell him in time, the emperor would make a wasted trip and then vent his anger on Concubine Wan. So she was so focused on getting on the road that she didn't notice what was happening behind her.
Just as she was about to cross the Imperial Lake and walk into the corridor, she suddenly felt a pain at the back of her head, her vision went black, and she fell straight forward, unconscious.
————
In the Weiyang Palace, two ghostly figures flashed by.
Suddenly, two figures entered the bedroom lightly and cautiously.
Bai Lan placed the imperial concubine on the soft and comfortable big bed, and pulled down the peach-colored bed curtains to cover the graceful figure.
Bai Lan whispered:
"Your Highness, I will light the sweet incense and leave Weiyang Palace to guard the Qinzheng Palace. I think Concubine Wan will send someone to deliver a letter to the Emperor, so I have to stop them."
The imperial concubine was a little nervous, "Bai Lan, is this really okay? I'm feeling a little nervous."
These days, she has been thinking about how to be alone with the emperor.
Yesterday, Bai Lan reminded her that the emperor had been going to Weiyang Palace every day recently. If Concubine Wan could be sent away, the imperial concubine would have the opportunity to be alone with the emperor.
So, when the Queen asked her to copy scriptures today, she thought for a moment and passed the hard task to Concubine Wan.
She asked Bai Lan to bribe the people in Weiyang Palace, disguise herself as a palace maid, and sneak in through the small door in the backyard of Weiyang Palace.
Bai Lan's eyes rolled around, and she pressed down the imperial concubine's trembling hand. Her voice was bewitching.
"My Lady, have you forgotten how the Emperor doted on you in the past? Everything has changed since Concubine Wan came."
"From her family background to her looks, figure, and even her taste for romance, Concubine Wan is inferior to you in every way. If she hadn't used the Hehuan Incense, how could she have captured the Emperor's heart and prevented him from even seeing you?"
"Your Highness, the only difference between you and Concubine Wan is the sweet fragrance of love. Once the Emperor favors you, he will know how good you are. After that, the Emperor will forget Concubine Wan."
"Moreover, this acacia incense is colorless and odorless. After it burns out, not even a grain of ash can be found. No one can find a trace of it. You can rest assured."
"Concubine Wan has always been unruly towards you. If she continues like this, she will soon be crowned Imperial Noble Concubine. Then she will be above you. Will you be willing to accept that?"
The imperial concubine looked at Bai Lan. She could see the unwillingness to be submissive and the ambition in her own eyes through Bai Lan's dark pupils.
She bit her lip and finally made up her mind.
Bai Lan was relieved, "My Lady, if you can just use those seductive tricks, I don't believe the Emperor won't like you!"
The imperial concubine was both nervous and excited.
She lowered the bed curtains and took off her coat, revealing a light coral-red gauze dress that wrapped around her slender figure.
All her hairpins and rings were removed, and her long black hair hung down, making her look charming and full of allure.
Bai Lan looked at the imperial concubine through the bed curtain, and her eyes instantly became gloomy and terrifying.
Her expression was terrifying, but she still spoke respectfully and gently, "I will go to guard outside the Qinzheng Palace. I wish the Imperial Concubine immediate success and fulfillment of her wish."
A quarter of an hour after Bai Lan went out, the imperial concubine heard some noise outside.
The emperor is coming.
Thinking about what she was going to do soon, the imperial concubine's hands trembled slightly. She was nervous, but also eager to try.
Leng Hong has been coming to Weiyang Palace at this time these days.
He walked to the palace gate and casually asked, "Where is your queen?"
The palace attendant at the palace gate said respectfully, "Your Majesty has gone to pay her respects to the Queen and has not returned yet."
Leng Hong frowned slightly. It was already this hour and it was time to go home after paying his respects.
Maybe he walked a little slowly on the way, or maybe he talked a few more words with other concubines.
Leng Hong thought about it and said, "It's okay, I'll go inside and wait."
He was very familiar with the Weiyang Palace, so he strode into the inner hall without the need for a palace servant to lead him.
As soon as he entered the inner hall, he felt something was wrong.
The smell is wrong.
The atmosphere in this inner hall seemed to be mixed with a faint scent of powder.
The scent of this powder is different from the one Su Wanti usually uses.
Leng Hong practiced martial arts every day, so his senses were more acute. He took a few steps towards the bedroom and realized that the smell of powder came from inside the bedroom.
He lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, a gloomy look suddenly appearing between his brows.
I stretched out my hands and looked, and saw that a small red rash had suddenly appeared on the back of my hands, and it was itchy.
Leng Hong's face turned ugly.
He pursed his lips tightly, his eyes filled with disgust.
After a moment, Leng Hong waved his hand and said in a low voice with a bone-chilling chill, "Kang Yu, you and your men will guard the Weiyang Palace. No one is allowed to come in or go out."
Kang Yu knew that something serious had happened, and immediately followed Leng Hong's instructions, not daring to delay for even a moment.
He walked and shook his head, thinking that today's incident might result in bloodshed.
