Chapter 97 Really Crazy or Pretending to Be Crazy

The next day, Rong Xin started pretending to be sick.

As Yun Qin had expected, as soon as Rong Xin fell ill, Lady Su immediately took Xin'er with her.

She didn't like Yunqin staying under her eyes. If she went to the palace, she would say after a while, "Xin'er is here to serve you. You don't have to stay here."

Needless to say, the two aunts Tinghe and Tingshuang, as soon as the Queen Mother left the palace, their status in front of Concubine Su gradually declined. Concubine Su even stopped allowing them to serve her closely and only let them take care of the trivial matters in the palace.

As soon as the Queen Mother left the palace, the two aunts lost their confidence and dared not say anything more.

A few days later, Concubine Su invited Zhen Jing into the palace again, saying that she wanted to perform a ritual.

The emperor disliked these things the most, so she went to ask the empress for help.

He cried miserably in front of the queen, "Your Majesty, these past few days I have been dreaming of my unborn child. Even when I wake up, my arms always feel heavy, as if I am still holding her."

She cried out of breath, "You know, madam, this child has been in a state of confusion, no wonder he is restless. I just want to perform a small ritual to help him pass away, please help me."

The weather today is not very good. It is very gloomy outside and it looks like a heavy rain is going to fall soon.

There were no lights on in the hall, and it was even darker. Hearing her speak so creepily, Lanying, who was standing next to the empress, couldn't help but shudder and felt goose bumps on her arms.

She couldn't help but secretly glare at Lady Su, then glanced at the silent empress before saying, "Lady Su may not have had enough rest. You should ask Doctor Yu to prescribe some tranquilizers."

Lady Su wiped her tears, without looking up at her, and continued to say to the empress: "Your Majesty, I don't know how many tranquilizers I have taken, but they are really useless. Your Majesty, please agree to my request!"

"Then let's try another recipe first." The Queen frowned slightly, a little annoyed by her crying.

Now that the Queen Mother has left the palace, she has to take care of all the affairs of the harem. She is already stressed out enough on a normal day, and she still bothers herself with these matters related to ghosts and gods. It's really incomprehensible.

"Your Majesty, I am not fooling you." Concubine Su dragged her hands, "If you don't believe me, come and try it. He is lying in my arms right now."

"Lady Su!" Seeing her approaching, Lan Ying immediately stood in front of the empress and shouted angrily: "You must be careful with your words. If you scare the empress, no one will be able to bear it!"

"It's true. If you don't believe me, Aunt Lanying, please hold me and see for yourself."

Seeing that she was really going to pass something over, Lan Ying screamed on the spot and shouted, "Don't come over here, don't come over here!"

But Lady Su refused to give in, and Lan Ying was frightened so much that she screamed repeatedly.

The queen couldn't stand the harassment anymore and shouted, "Enough!"

"Your Majesty..." Concubine Su looked up at her and was about to wipe away her tears.

The queen could no longer tolerate her madness, and she angrily said, "You can do the ritual if you want, but if the emperor blames you, you will have to bear the consequences yourself."

"Yes, yes, thank you, Your Majesty!"

After she left happily, Lan Yingcai touched his chest in shock and couldn't help asking, "Is this Lady Su crazy?"

The Queen snorted coldly, "She'd better be really crazy. If she causes trouble again, I can't protect her!"

"Your Majesty, don't you care?"

The queen's eyes were cold. "Have someone keep an eye on her. As long as she doesn't cause trouble in front of the emperor, I don't care about her."

The news that the Sumerians were going to perform a ritual for their unborn child soon spread throughout the palace.

When Concubine Liu heard about this, her first reaction was that the queen was looking for trouble. She was so angry that she broke her carefully maintained nails. She also ran to the queen and cried for several times, and almost had a miscarriage, which made the queen very anxious.

The next day, the empress closed the palace gates, claiming to be ill, and even forgot to greet everyone in the morning.

Lady Su had no idea of ​​restraint. She set up an incense table in the palace and worshipped Guanyin and the Three Pure Ones. She burned incense every day, and the scent could even be smelled by people passing by the Chunxi Palace.

The rumor that Su Meiren had become mentally confused after losing her son and favor and had begun to put her hope in ghosts and gods spread quickly in the palace.

When the summer heat was at its height, other palaces no longer burned incense, but instead displayed fragrant fruits, flowers and plants. Only Chunxi Palace was still shrouded in smoke, as if a fire was burning every day.

Zhenjing brought people to chant sutras twice, but Su Meiren was still not satisfied. She even invited a Taoist nun from somewhere and set up a Taoist temple in the palace. The remaining smoke from the burning yellow paper floated out of the palace.

There was not a single person I met who did not curse at me.

There was a lot of complaints in the palace.

Before the matter reached the emperor's ears, the empress finally took action and brought people to capture the Taoist nun. The Taoist temple was also smashed to pieces, and even the Guanyin and Sanqing enshrined in her temple and even the incense table were carried out.

While there was a lot of noise in front, Yun Qin and Rong Xin were hiding in the room, drinking tea leisurely and happily.

Rong Xin listened for a while and breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally, all the things have been moved away. It was like a fire burning all day long. I didn't even dare to open the window."

Yun Qin was thinking about something else. She said with a thoughtful look on her face, "I always feel that this Taoist nun who suddenly appeared is a little strange."

"Do you think there's something wrong with her?"

Yun Qin lowered his eyes and looked at the clear and calm tea in the cup, frowned, and pondered secretly.

After a long while, she finally said, "I think there is something wrong with this whole thing."

"Sister." Yun Qin looked at Rong Xin, with a dark light in her eyes. "I have a hunch that it will happen in the next few days. Don't go near her during this period. Even if she tells you to leave the palace, don't go. Even if you push it to someone else."

She grabbed the loose beads hanging from her wrist and said coldly, "Let Xiao Dezi watch over Lady Liu. I always feel that the mastermind who has never shown up is likely to come and fish in troubled waters."

"He likes to kill two birds with one stone. I'm going to give it a try today to see if I can catch his little tail."

Thinking of the man behind the scenes who almost killed Ah Jing, Rong Xin's face was also gloomy, and her chin was slightly tense. "Okay, I will definitely let Xiao Dezi be careful."
