【3】Departed to return 25 Hearts are scarier than ghosts (2K)

Eunuch Wei selected several palace maids to come to Yu Xiuhua’s master and servant, and first apologized: “Empress, Your Majesty personally told the order, please forgive me for offending me.”

Then, no matter how reluctant Yu Xiuhua was, under his wink, the palace maids forced themselves to search the master and servant of the Yu family.

After a while, they found a secret bag from the Yu maid, which contained half a bag of white powder.

When the things were handed to the emperor, Ji Shun looked at it and said coldly: "Yu Xiuhua, what are these white powders?"

Yu Xiuhua's delicate face was as pale as paper under the lights, biting her lips timidly and did not dare to speak. She knew that once she said this, she would really have nothing to do with the witchcraft.

"If you don't say it, there will always be someone who will say it." Ji Shun was as cold as a god. "Take everyone back and see the chief officer of Xuanxing Chair in Hanyuan Hall."

Yu Xiuhua staggered, Concubine Min was worried, thinking about how to end.

Concubine Saki helped her daughter up with her own hands, looked at each other deeply, and understood each other's mood. Now the situation is in their hands. As long as they keep it steady, Yu Xiuhua will take the blame.

The Hanyuan Palace is brightly lit and the atmosphere is so solemn and a bit depressing.

Yu Xiuhua and his personal palace maid knelt in front of the emperor, feeling uneasy, praying that Concubine Min and the Queen could help her rescue.

The Criminal Office sent the chief agent Cai Zhe. He carefully examined the evidence and replied: "Your Majesty, I have checked it. This tip is filled with phosphorus powder."

The emperor's eyes squinted unconsciously: "Phosphorus?"

Cai Zhe said: "Phosphorus powder is very easy to spontaneously ignite on summer nights. This is the season when summer and autumn alternately. The heat stroke in the palace has not yet subsided. Phosphorus powder is scattered in the branches and grasses. Once ignited, it will emit green flames."

"The green ghost fires we saw by Yingyue Pool were actually ignited by phosphorus powder?" the queen thought deeply.

"What the Empress said is that because there are many phosphorus fires around the tombs in the mountains and wilderness, they are seen by the villagers passing by. Over time, there is a saying of ghost fire." Cai Zhe gradually resolved everyone's doubts, "And if people walk around, they will also cause the phosphorus fire to float along, shaped like ghosts, which is even more daunting."

Concubine Saki was calm but said something: "It seems that the so-called ghost fire is nothing but Yu Xiuhua's masterpiece?"

The emperor followed the situation and stared at Yu's family: "Yu Xiuhua, why are you pretending to be a god in the palace?"

Yu Xiuhua was very confused: "Your Majesty, I'm the concubine..."

"My son knows why Yu Xiuhua did this."

Youmeng snatched her words coldly, and everyone couldn't help looking at Youmeng.

"She first used witchcraft on the puppet, intending to curse my mother's wife, and then ordered the maid to sprinkle phosphorus powder along the way to create the illusion of ghost fire, which made the people in the palace panic, thinking that there was a ghost." Youmeng looked down on Yu Xiuhua, and the tone of the conversation brought a cold cold, "When the mother's mother died suddenly, she could take advantage of the rumors and naturally push the mother's accident to the ghostly evil spirits. No one would suspect that someone had harmed the mother in secret. What a sinister intention!"

Yu Xiuhua was so angry that tears came up, and he retorted: "Little Princess, you are squirting about blood!"

"I'm squirting with blood?" Youmeng calmly met, but his eyes were filled with bone-eating hatred. "You hold the doll with my mother's birth date and horoscope, and insist that I curse the Queen, have you ever realized that you are squirting with blood!"

"I..." Yu Xiuhua argued that she had to turn her direction and confessed to the emperor sadly, "Your Majesty, I did use phosphorus powder, but I just wanted to use ghost fire to introduce everyone into the bamboo forest, so that I could force the little princess to expose my crime in full view of everyone. I had never been the doll, and I didn't use it to curse Concubine Saki..."

Youmeng smiled sarcastically: "Forcing me to expose my crime? What crimes can I expose?"

It was difficult for the emperor to believe Yu Xiuhua. After all, just with the doll, the birth date of Concubine Saki, it completely eliminated the possibility of Youmeng being able to use witchcraft.

Yu Xiuhua still wanted to make a quibble, but Youmeng rebuked coldly: "It's time now, Yu Xiuhua, you have to slander me again!"

Yu Xiuhua swallowed for a while, then suddenly raised his head: "Miss Min, don't you say anything to the concubine?"

A faint smile that was hard to see crossed the corner of Concubine Saki's mouth, as if she was waiting for this moment.

Concubine Min's face was unnatural and she deliberately refused to look at Yu Xiuhua: "What else can I say?"

Yu Xiuhua revealed: "When the princess fell off the doll, you were there, and you saw it with your concubine!"

The emperor turned his doubtful eyes to Concubine Min: "Concubine Min, is there any such thing?"

Concubine Min knew that Yu Xiuhua had fallen into trouble. If she forced herself to catch her, she would only be dragged into the water. She looked respectful: "Your Majesty, the little princess fell off that day, but I have never seen clearly whether she was a puppet and dared not assert without authorization."

After hearing this, Yu Xiuhua's heart became cold and cubes. If she hadn't said that the doll was strange, how could Yu Xiuhua think about the witchcraft?

"Where is that parrot?" Yu Xiuhua couldn't help but feel excited when he suddenly remembered this, "Yes, there is that parrot! You have heard clearly what the parrot said, right?"

The more the queen listened, the more she became fascinated: "Parrot?"

Yu Xiuhua said earnestly: "Empress, the little princess gave Concubine Saki a yellow-blue-haired parrot. She flew to her concubine and Concubine Min that day, and read a few words, it has something to do with you!"

The queen's mind tightened: "What are you talking about?"

"The phoenix weeps blood, and the crescent moon is coming to the sky!"

Yu Xiuhua's words were loud and loud, and the queen was stunned.

Yu Xiuhua looked at Concubine Min coldly: "Concubine Min interpreted her meaning and concluded that this was a curse on the Empress. It was because the concubine believed that Concubine Saki and the little princess were secretly doing witchcraft!"

Because she said it too much, even the emperor felt strange: "Youmeng, is there such a thing?"

Concubine Saki remained silent, Youmeng stepped forward slowly and bowed calmly: "Father, I did give my mother a yellow-blue-haired Western-European glazed parrot, but the parrot was docile by nature. My son only taught it to say auspicious words to please her mother, and never taught her these inexplicable words."

Concubine Min threw a sinister cold light: "Little princess, can you guarantee it?"

Youmeng confidently turned her eyes to meet her: "Of course, the parrot is in the palace of the mother's mother."

Concubine Min nodded, hiding a secret smile: "Your Majesty, I have a way to verify this."

The emperor acquiesced her with his eyes. At the suggestion of Concubine Min, the emperor asked someone to go to Yuxiu Palace to get the parrot, and also ordered some "capable people and strangers" to come to Hanyuan Palace to stand by.

The noble parrot with noble blood stood on the croaker rack, and its fur became more and more bright under the lights, and its whole body was shining with gorgeousness.
