The Emperor's uncle loves me! My paranoid wife, don't run away

Chapter 323 Test

The emperor raised his eyes slightly.

"Oh?"

"suspended animation?"

He repeated it, slowly stood up, and walked to the table calmly.

"How did you know?"

Tan Ying replied: "Ji Yun's mausoleum is empty..."

"Also, a spy spotted Ji Yun."

The emperor had not thought that Ji Yun might have faked his death.

"She is a courageous woman."

The unknown abbot stood with his head bowed, not daring to say much, while Eunuch Qian held his breath and concentrated.

The emperor stood with his hands behind his back.

"How dare you play such a trick right under my nose?"

He paused and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Is there someone helping her secretly?"

Tanying lowered his head and spoke even more quietly.

"It's not clear yet. I am investigating secretly, but Ji Yun's whereabouts are extremely secretive. It seems that someone is covering him in secret."

The emperor sneered.

"Someone's covering me?"

"I want to see who dares to play tricks on me on my territory."

After a moment's contemplation, he waved his hand in a low voice.

"Keep checking."

"Anyone who is related to him must be secretly monitored. If there is any unusual movement, report it immediately."

Tan Ying bowed his head and replied, "Yes."

The emperor turned around, walked to the window and looked at the sky in the distance.

"I am curious about how she plans to be reborn after faking her death."

Then, a sharp look flashed across his eyes.

"No one in this world dares to tease me."

Tanying left in a hurry.

-

Ever since the evil spirit incident, the guards at the gate of Gong Ruifu Palace have been withdrawn, and Concubine Jing's house arrest is in name only.

After many days, Concubine Yan finally met Concubine Jing again.

Imperial Concubine Jing sat back on the bed, her pale face unable to conceal her fatigue, her eyes weary.

After seeing Concubine Yan, her expression paused and she smiled bitterly.

"You come to see my jokes too?"

Concubine Yan had a smile on her lips.

"Yuqing, put down the lunch box."

"You go and guard the door."

"Yes, your majesty." Then Yuqing turned and went out.

Concubine Yan looked at Concubine Jing.

"You and I have been sisters for many years, how can we tell jokes?"

Concubine Jing looked at her coldly without saying a word.

Luo Yuyao quietly hid behind Concubine Jing, half of her face hidden in her mother's sleeve, and the pair of eyes that were revealed were full of timidity.

Concubine Yan's gaze fell on Luo Yuyao, a dark light flashed across her eyes, but her smile did not diminish.

He waved and spoke softly.

"Yuyao, come and see what delicious food I brought you?"

Luo Yuyao glanced at Concubine Jing, and seeing that her mother didn't say anything, she lowered her head and walked slowly to Concubine Yan.

The corners of Concubine Yan's lips curled up. As expected, children are the easiest to deceive.

She took out a piece of delicate chestnut cake and gently put it into Luo Yuyao's hand.

"Try it, it's what you like."

Luo Yuyao took the pastry, took a bite, and her brows relaxed slightly.

Concubine Yan looked at Concubine Jing with gentle eyes and her tone was just the right amount of sincerity.

"After fighting for so many years, I'm tired."

"There are so many things going on in the palace right now, and I don't want to cause any more trouble. Anyway..."

Concubine Yan sighed lightly, nonchalantly.

"What could be more important than being alive?"

Imperial Concubine Jing leaned back and responded softly.

"Yu Yao."

"Give mother a piece to try."

Luo Yuyao walked carefully to Concubine Jing holding the chestnut cake.

Concubine Jing took the cake and gently held Luo Yuyao's small hand with her fingertips.

He pinched it seemingly casually and rubbed it a few times with his fingertips.

After a few seconds, she let go.

"Go out and play. I want to have a private conversation with your Madam Yan."

There were still chestnut cake crumbs on the corners of Luo Yuyao's mouth, but she nodded obediently.

"Yes, mother."

Then he lowered his head and walked out.

Concubine Yan slowly poured herself a cup of tea.

"The evil spirit disturbed the Imperial Concubine, and I am also very worried."

When Concubine Jing heard this, her fingers trembled unconsciously twice, and she seemed very scared.

"I am now free."

Concubine Yan smiled faintly.

"If you really feel uneasy, you might as well go to His Majesty's place more often... I heard that they have invited a great monk with extraordinary magical powers."

Concubine Jing looked at Concubine Yan.

"To be honest, the monk has been to Ruifu Palace."

Concubine Yan's eyes suddenly lit up.

"Oh?"

Concubine Jing sighed.

"However, how can such an evil thing be solved in a simple way? I was in a daze... I heard..."

"It takes a heavy sacrifice to drive it away!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes seemed to fall on Concubine Yan's face unintentionally, observing her expression.

Concubine Yan asked in confusion.

"What is this precious gift?"

"Why are you so interested in this?" Concubine Jing asked casually.

Concubine Yan stroked her hair with her fingertips, her posture gentle and confident.

"I'm just wondering if there's anything I can do for you."

Concubine Jing looked at Concubine Yan.

"What kind of gift do you think can appease the wrath of heaven and subdue the evil spirit?"

Concubine Yan's eyes moved slightly, with a tentative smile at the corner of her lips.

"Blood?"

Concubine Jing nodded slowly.

"Tianyan is prosperous, so it's no problem to get some cow and sheep blood."

However, after hearing this, Concubine Jing suddenly sneered.

“Cow and sheep blood?”

"I'm afraid it's not enough."

Concubine Yan raised her eyes, her gaze slightly fixed.

"It requires human blood."

Concubine Yan's fingertips paused.

"Human blood?"

"what kind of person?"

Concubine Jing lowered her voice, as if she was afraid that others would hear her.

"You want the blood of a woman who is close to your Majesty, Concubine Yan..."

Concubine Yan's heart was shocked, and her fingertips unconsciously clenched the corner of her clothes.

"This... is what the monk said?"

Concubine Jing just smiled faintly.

"What do you say?"

This rhetorical question is very meaningful.

Concubine Yan lowered her eyes, her thoughts churning.

I came to Ruifu Palace today to test Concubine Jing.

Luo Mosheng's letter mentioned evil spirits and evil monks, and Concubine Yan was half-believing and half-doubting.

But the evil started from Ruifu Palace, and Concubine Jing must know more.

Under the pretext of visiting, he tried to find out the truth indirectly, but unexpectedly, Concubine Jing would take the initiative to mention "a generous gift".

After a long time, Concubine Yan spoke.

"If that's the case, then the imperial concubine must be more careful."

"Who in the palace is close to His Majesty now? Aren't they all us?"

When Concubine Jing heard this, the corners of her lips curled up.

"You don't have to worry about this, my lady."

"Why?"

"Because I have long been possessed by that evil spirit, and have become an unlucky person..."

Concubine Yan suppressed her smile and slowly stood up.

"Take care, Madam Concubine."

"I won't fight—"

Suddenly, the anxious and crying voice of Concubine Chunhong was heard outside the door.

"The royal concubine!"

"The royal concubine!"

"I don't want to offer sacrifice to the heavens!"

"I don't want to die!"
