"Your Majesty, this is it! I saw Concubine Dong ordering someone to bury it!" Nanny Sun's voice broke with excitement.
"This old servant saw the queen put a cloth doll in with her own hands. The doll was covered with embroidery needles, on its eyes, face, head, and heart... Ah!" Nanny Sun stared at the box in the soil in horror, as if she had seen a very horrific scene.
"Ah! Witchcraft! Sister Dong Fei actually used this kind of evil magic, who does she want to curse?" Concubine Shu was terrified, covered her mouth and hid behind the tyrant.
"I saw them stuff a piece of paper into the doll's back, which looked like the little princess's birth date. I also thought the doll's clothes looked like the little princess's!" Nanny Sun was very cooperative and her voice gradually became louder.
Exposing Concubine Dong is a meritorious deed, and the tyrant emperor will surely reward you handsomely!
The tyrant's face turned ashen, and the veins on his forehead bulged with anger.
He gave a wink, and Bao Pingyuan hurriedly led the left guards to pull out the box.
"Open it!" The emperor glanced at Concubine Shu and the palace maids, and said in a deep voice, "Where is Concubine Dong?"
A maidservant who was left behind to sweep the streets of Xuehan Palace hurried over to pay her respects. "Your Majesty, the Queen has gone to Qinghuan Palace and invited everyone to a banquet to share in the little princess's good fortune. I had an upset stomach last night, so I stayed behind to watch over her. Please, Your Majesty, your Majesty has always been upright and honest, and would never resort to such despicable means! The Queen truly loves the little princess and was even personally embroidering a bib for her yesterday!"
Concubine Shu glanced at the foolish emperor and hugged his arm: "Your Majesty, open it and you will know. Concubine Dong has a straightforward personality and cannot be wronged."
The tyrant king pulled his arm away and walked a dozen feet away alone before asking Bao Pingyuan to open the box.
When the emperor saw what was inside, his expression turned gloomy, and he silently asked Bao Pingyuan to close it.
Seeing how cautious he was, Concubine Shu knew that the tyrant wanted to favor Concubine Dong again.
She took advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention and winked at Nanny Sun.
Nanny Sun kowtowed again and said, "Your Majesty! I saw that Concubine Dong dug more than one pit! There is another one over there."
The tyrant emperor glanced at her expressionlessly and nodded at Bao Pingyuan.
Sure enough, there was also a box buried under another big osmanthus tree. The tyrant emperor also avoided the crowd and looked at the contents alone.
Concubine Shu was a little nervous. It seemed that the tyrant emperor was really going to protect Concubine Dong!
Fortunately, she was well prepared.
There was a noisy sound outside Xuehan Palace. Concubine Dong, Concubine De, Zhaoyi Liu and other concubines arrived.
Concubine Shu breathed a sigh of relief and walked delicately to the side of the tyrant emperor: "Your Majesty, someone must have wronged Concubine Dong. The little princess is Nanqiao's lucky star, how could she be so jealous of the little princess?"
"Your Majesty, you are kind-hearted, but the evidence is right before our eyes!" Nanny Sun acted according to her instructions and deliberately raised her voice.
All the concubines saluted the emperor together. After the ceremony, Liu Zhaoyi moved to the side of Shu Guifei with small lotus steps.
"I heard that the emperor entered the Xuehan Palace in a rage. I don't know what I did wrong that Concubine Shu chose to pick a fight when I was not around?" Concubine Dong directly pointed the finger at Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu was stunned and lowered her head in grievance. "Sister, I'm wrong. Why would I pick a fight with you for no reason? I just happened to run into the emperor and heard that there was an evil thing in Xuehan Palace, so I came to take a look."
"Evil thing?" Concubine Dong sneered.
The emperor frowned and glanced at the concubines who were whispering to each other: "Why are you here to join in the fun instead of having a banquet in Qinghuan Palace?!"
"Your Majesty, since Sister Dong Fei has evil things here, Your Majesty cannot be partial." Liu Zhaoyi bowed and looked at the two boxes with burning eyes.
The emperor shook his head, looking disappointed: "Drag this cunning slave away and beat him to death!"
Nanny Sun’s mind buzzed and she was stunned.
After the tyrant emperor finished speaking, he asked Zhang Fujin to hold the two boxes and then he was about to leave.
Concubine Shu was stunned. With so many people coming to watch the fun, the tyrant emperor actually wanted to protect Concubine Dong in public!
This is intolerable!
Seeing that Concubine Shu was in a bad mood, Liu Zhaoyi pretended to whisper to Yan Chun and exclaimed, "Ah? There's a voodoo doll in the box? And it even has the little princess's birth date written on it?"
The foolish emperor paused and looked over gloomily.
The concubines were immediately furious.
There are many people who can't stand Concubine Dong's arrogance. After all, when some people are favored, others fall out of favor. Many of these people who have lived in the deep palace for a long time are full of calculation and jealousy in their hearts.
"Your Majesty! The little princess is a blessing from heaven, you can't let her go!"
"The little princess is so adorable! How could you be so cruel as to curse her?"
"Your Majesty must severely punish those who practice sorcery! Otherwise, the harem will be in chaos!"
The foolish ruler is extremely annoyed by the gossips of many people.
"Shut up, all of you!" The foolish emperor glared at Nanny Sun. Some concubines blocked her way intentionally or unintentionally, and the imperial guards were unable to drag her away and beat her to death.
The emperor's face was covered with dark clouds, and his eyes were filled with anger. "You want an explanation? Don't think I don't know. You are a bunch of idlers, and all you do all day is scheme against each other!"
The concubines all shut their mouths and remained silent.
No one was convinced, and they felt that he said this just to protect Concubine Dong.
If it were any other concubine, he would not bother to deal with such a commotion and would directly banish her to the cold palace. A few years ago, a second-rank concubine who was quite favored was just like that. She fell out of favor just like that and is still in the cold palace.
When it came to Concubine Dong, things were different.
The emperor's face darkened. "Sly slave! Did you see Concubine Dong order someone to bury the voodoo doll? Did you see Tianbao's birth date written on it?"
Nanny Sun, who was already frightened, glanced at Concubine Shu and said in a trembling voice, "Yes!"
The tyrant emperor asked Zhang Fujin to open the box.
The concubines all cast their eyes over.
There was no voodoo doll inside, just a rosewood fan, a wooden hairpin, and a set of wooden tea sets.
The concubines who had been shouting so loudly before were all silent.
The tyrant emperor felt very uncomfortable when he saw these things, because he had made them with his own hands.
Nanny Sun gave Concubine Shu a look for help in a desperate look. Concubine Shu rolled her eyes at her and pretended to avoid her sight casually.
Death was imminent, and Nanny Sun no longer cared about anything else. She shouted, "My Lady Concubine, save me! My Lady Concubine, even if I haven't worked hard, I have worked hard. You can't watch me die! I have been listening to you..."
"Pa!" Before Nanny Sun could finish her words, Nanny Chai came up and slapped her hard, her fierce eyes full of warning.
Nanny Sun only felt a buzzing in her ears and half of her face was numb. She couldn't find the strength to speak for a long time.
The tyrant looked over coldly, with frost in his eyes.
Nanny Chai knelt down calmly and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me. She used to be a member of Mingyue Palace. It's my fault that I didn't teach her well."
Nanny Sun was desperate. Concubine Shu was trying to cut off all ties with her!
She recalled what Concubine Dong had said, and desperately sought out that cold figure, like a drowning person grasping at a lifeline: "Your Majesty, spare my life! What I did today was ordered by Concubine Shu!"
Concubine Dong sneered indifferently, haha, the dog-eat-dog show is about to begin.
