As soon as De Fei said these words, not to mention Xie Ziyue, even Gu Xuan was stunned.
Taoxiang was very smart and knew that what she said next was confidential, so she hurriedly closed the ajar door.
After all, this kind of thing has ears across the wall, and no one knows who is the one who is interested.
"What you are saying is..." Xie Ziyue's expression darkened: "Did you discover something?"
"I don't know yet." After all, the imperial doctor hasn't come to see her yet, and Concubine De doesn't dare to say for sure, but it's true that there must be something fishy about this matter:
"Whatever the facts are, it's better to go back and let a trustworthy imperial doctor take a look... But the queen suddenly became ill. If it was the medicine prescribed by the real imperial doctor, she could just take it out and throw it away. Why did she have to bury it in the ground?"
Yes, you have to bury things in the ground. What is the three hundred taels of silver if there is no silver here?
"I'm afraid the Queen never imagined until her death that the Zuo Xiangfu, whom she had always relied on for pride, would treat her like an abandoned child." Xie Ziyue couldn't hide the ridicule in her tone.
Anyone with a discerning eye would know who did this. Er Rong was at least a loyal servant despite being disrespectful to the queen.
She is a domestic servant in Zuo Xiang's Mansion, and her parents are both servants in Zuo Xiang's Mansion. If it hadn't been for the instruction of Zuo Xiang, she would not have dared to attack the queen, even if she had taken the courage to do so.
Similarly, the only person who can override the Queen and order her and make her dare not disobey is the Left Prime Minister.
Xie Ziyue felt that the queen was really stupid and pitiful, and she played a good hand of cards to pieces.
He was ridiculous and hateful, and even when he was about to die, he still cursed his daughter... When she thought of this, Xie Ziyue felt like her heart was stuck, and she wished she could crush the queen to ashes.
Concubine De also roughly understood Xie Ziyue's anxiety and comforted her: "Sister, please don't worry too much. Although these techniques are disgusting, the little princess is a very lucky person and will not be affected by this matter. "
At this point, she seemed to have remembered something, and said casually: "And my sister has heard people mention it before, and there is a way to break this trick."
To Xie Ziyue's ears now, these words were no less than the sound of nature.
The most distressing thing for her at the moment was this matter. When I heard that there was a solution to this matter, I was like grabbing a life-saving straw and immediately asked:
"What's the solution?"
"It's not considered a crack, it can only be considered a sharing." Concubine De considered her words carefully:
"Just hold the little man, prick it with the silver needle, and use your fingertips to cover the blood of the cursed person on it, and you can transfer part of the curse to yourself."
"However, this method is best done by people who are close to you by blood."
Of course, Concubine De also heard the news from elsewhere, and the authenticity is open to question.
If you want to be sure about this, you have to ask people from the Miao border. After all, the art of witchcraft and Gu was transmitted from there.
Gu Xuan's eyes widened. Wasn't this just asking her mother-in-law to prick her with a needle and share part of the curse with her?
Putting aside whether it was effective or not, Gu Xuan herself didn't believe it.
To put it bluntly, the magic of witchcraft has no basis, and Gu Xuan does not believe it has any effect.
But with ten fingers connected to the heart, if the concubine pricks herself with a needle, she will also feel distressed, okay?
"Concubine, concubine—" Gu Xuan instantly waved her little hands and feet, pulling on Xie Ziyue's sleeves, and kept moving her head into her arms, trying to attract her attention.
Xie Ziyue's attention was quickly attracted to her daughter. Seeing her rubbing her eyes with her little hands, she laughed and said to Concubine De, "I'm afraid Ah Xuan is sleepy."
Concubine De stared at Gu Xuan without blinking, her eyes full of affection.
She really likes Gu Xuan, she is so cute and smart.
Every time she came over, she would interact with Gu Xuan. Although she wanted to see him again now, she knew that the little guy might be going to sleep.
So even though she was reluctant to leave, Concubine De also said goodbye to Xie Ziyue.
They will return to the palace tomorrow. After returning to the palace, she often goes to Weiyang Palace to sit and sit.
After Concubine De left, Xie Ziyue coaxed her daughter and asked Tao Xiang to get the villain back.
Tao Xiang looked embarrassed. The villain was in charge of Laifu, and His Majesty ordered this thing to be burned at that time. Whether this thing is there or not is still a question.
But she also heard what Concubine De said just now, and knew that the empress wanted to get this thing back for the sake of Her Royal Highness.
After only a moment of embarrassment, he said, "I'll ask you, my servant."
After that, she turned around and went out. When only Xie Ziyue and Gu Xuan were left in the room, mother and daughter, Xie Ziyue sighed and lowered her head.
In front of others, no matter how worried she was, she couldn't show too much vulnerability.
But in private in front of her daughter, looking at her round eyes, she really couldn't imagine what would happen to the little guy if the witchcraft was effective.
She has single-handedly brought her up to this age, and no one loves her daughter as much as she does. She is worried about any headache or fever, let alone the dangerous witchcraft.
"Mother concubine~" Gu Xuan saw that she was in a bad mood, so she deliberately tried to show off and made a coquettish sound.
"You are quite happy!" Xie Ziyue tapped the tip of her small nose with her finger: "Others hurt you like that... Concubine I really wish I was the one to be cursed."
No!
Gu Xuan hurriedly held her mother's hand and shook her head. The mother felt sorry for her, and she also felt sorry for her!
The mother-in-law didn’t want her to be at any risk of being harmed, and she didn’t want the mother-in-law to be harmed either!
Seeing the daughter in her arms shaking her head like a rattle, Xie Ziyue was both funny and sad.
At this age, the child seems to be able to understand what he is saying.
What makes her sad is that she did nothing and yet she was treated with such great malice just because she was her own daughter.
Xie Ziyue didn't want her mood to affect her child. Seeing her staring at him, she reluctantly put her expression back together and walked back and forth to coax her.
It was a baby after all. Even though Gu Xuan was thinking about waiting for Taoxiang to come back, she just fell asleep in such a comfortable sleeping environment.
When Taoxiang came back, Xie Ziyue had already put her daughter on the bed.
"Your Majesty, look." Taoxiang held a small black cloth bag in her hand, which contained the little needle-pricked man found at Laifu today:
"It happened that when I went there, Eunuch Laifu was preparing to have someone burn it. I went to tell my mother that something was wrong, so Eunuch Laifu gave this thing to me."
However, Laifu also told Taoxiang that since Han Xianzong gave him an order to deal with it, he had to go back and resume his life with Han Xianzong.
As a smooth slave, Laifu doesn't want to offend anyone.
So I told Tao Xiang to hide her things well when she came back, so that no one could see her.
Xie Ziyue opened the bag and took a look, confirming that the contents inside were correct, then placed the items on the small table nearby.
After washing up in the evening, after Tao Xiang left the room, she looked at her daughter on the bed. She seemed to have made up her mind. She took out the silver needles on the little figure one by one and pricked her fingertips like peeling onions.
