"My lord, please step aside for a moment. The slaves will help the princess to change out of these clothes first. Otherwise, the slaves will worry that the princess will catch a cold while wearing such wet clothes."
"Leave it here, you all go out, I will come in person!"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Where's the hot water?"
"Go back to your Majesty, everything is ready." Aunt Qing ordered someone to put the hot water on the embroidery stool, then twisted the handkerchief and handed it into Prince Rui's hand.
Prince Rui had already taken off Su Xiyue's sweat-soaked clothes one by one, wrapped her in a quilt, and then wiped it gently, starting from her face.
Finally, after wiping her whole body, Prince Rui, with the help of Aunt Qing, personally put Su Xiyue into a set of clean underwear. Touching Su Xiyue's cold little hands, Prince Rui's heart felt...
It felt like someone had gouged him hard, and the pain was so severe that he almost couldn't breathe!
How could this happen? Well, she wasn't even allowed to get off the carriage. How could she say she felt uncomfortable and then she wasn't feeling comfortable? And it was still so powerful?
"Your Majesty, Mr. Liu is here."
"Let him come in right now!" The prince shouted loudly, and Liu Ruyi hurriedly strode in.
About a quarter of an hour later, Liu Ruyi invited the prince to the outer room and explained the princess's condition to him in detail.
"What's going on?" King Rui's body was full of violence at this time. It was the first time in Liu Ruyi's years following him that he felt that the prince would be so violent when he was not facing an enemy.
"My lord, the princess's illness is indeed a bit strange. According to me, it doesn't look like an ordinary illness."
"what is that?"
Liu Ruyi pondered for a moment, then called Aunt Qing over. After questioning her carefully, she said, "The princess's current situation is more like being possessed by some kind of witchcraft!"
"witchcraft?"
"Judging from the current situation, it should be white witchcraft, but I don't know which one it belongs to."
"Witchcraft? Before Daqing, except for the imperial master, no one else knew how to use witchcraft. Could it be that you mean that this witchcraft was done by the imperial master back then?"
"I don't know this. I am proficient in medicine, but I don't know much about witchcraft. As for the Imperial Preceptor, before he became the Imperial Preceptor, he heard that he was leading a spiritual practice at Mitsui Temple with the name of Ming Yuan. Later, he left shortly after
, so he became my imperial advisor in Daqing, nicknamed Wuyazi. As for whether the imperial advisor is proficient in witchcraft, my subordinates really don’t know.”
"The Imperial Preceptor did use witchcraft in those days, and I can be certain of this. My mother-in-law was seriously ill and was on her deathbed. My father begged me repeatedly, and the Imperial Preceptor agreed to give it a try. It was also because of him.
The witchcraft worked, and the concubine lived another year."
"Your Majesty, this Imperial Master has been missing for more than ten years. We have been trying to find him, but unfortunately, we have been unsuccessful."
"No matter how much it costs, we must find the Imperial Master. I cannot just watch Xixi suffer."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Su Xiyue slept for three days and three nights. She didn't feel any discomfort anymore and just slept. King Rui never left the dormitory in the past few days. He always stayed with her like this, for fear that she would see her when she opened her eyes.
The first person is not him.
In the past three days, earth-shaking changes have taken place outside, but Su Xiyue slept as if she couldn't hear anything, and it was especially sweet.
King Rui met several of his subordinates outside, gave them some instructions, then entered the dormitory again and sat beside the bed.
"Xixi, you've been sleeping for three days. Wake up. If you don't wake up, I won't take you to Yanghe County. Haven't you been worried about the situation there? Don't you want to go and have a look? Xixi
, it’s about Suzhou! Gao Wenbo and Gao Wenyang have both been sentenced to death and will be executed soon. As for the Gao family, the new head of the family is Gao Wen’an. All my plans have been fully realized.
.Why aren’t you awake yet?”
King Rui reached out and brushed her hair, and then gently touched her face. Her face was already rosy, and she looked very peaceful.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Liu is here and said he would try acupuncture on the princess again today." Aunt Qing said outside the door.
"Let him in."
Prince Rui watched from the side as he acupuncture Su Xiyue, "How? When will the princess wake up?"
"It should be almost done. You should wake up today."
"How have you been searching these days?" King Rui was referring to the fact that Liu Ruyi had been looking for some ancient books on witchcraft and the like in the past few days, hoping to see if he could find anything similar to the princess's illness.
"No results." Liu Ruyi shook his head, "As for witchcraft, it is still used now, it must be Hehe! I heard that Hehe still maintains some customs such as sacrifices. We also had it in Daqing before, but
A hundred years ago, Empress Wenjing had repeatedly warned that such witchcraft was too destructive of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, so Emperor Ming Zheng ordered that it be abolished one by one."
Liu Ruyi sighed softly, "Even the later imperial masters who were proficient in witchcraft no longer performed such similar rituals. I heard that Queen Wenjing once said that birth, old age, illness and death, no matter what kind, are all from heaven.
Gift, if we only know how to use some unnatural methods to change our luck, we will definitely provoke the wrath of God."
"What Queen Wen Jing said makes sense! Emperor Ming Zheng is her adopted son, but he has always respected her, and he can be considered a blessed person." King Rui seemed to have thought of something, and said with some emotion, "I once said
In the ancestral temple, I saw the portrait of Queen Wenjing, and my mother-in-law looks very much like her! Speaking of which, Xixi seems to be similar in some aspects!"
"Your Majesty, I heard from Aunt Qing and others that this should be the princess's first attack, and it shouldn't be too bad. If she has more attacks, I'm afraid it will cause great harm to the body. We should still find the patient as soon as possible.
The solution.”
"Apart from Hehe, is there no other place where witchcraft is still being passed down?"
"Go back to your lord, witch. If one of the ten people can truly use witchcraft, it is already very good! This witchcraft is an attempt to use supernatural and mysterious power to influence or control certain people and things.
Alchemy. Among them, the deity rituals and incantations are indispensable! And among the people, there are some goddesses and the like, but most of them are just deceptive tricks! There are many living beings among the people who are buried.
In the hands of such evil people. And the real shamans who are still passing on are probably only Hehe!"
"Hehe?" King Rui repeated and tried to speak again.
Liu Ruyi also knew what he was worried about, and added, "The so-called witches with inheritance must be related by blood! Otherwise, I'm afraid we will still waste our energy in vain!"
