The emperor glanced at Qingwan who was kneeling on the ground with a gloomy look, then looked at the eunuch in charge and said, "Check again!"
"Yes, Your Majesty." Having followed the Emperor for many years, I naturally understood what the Emperor was thinking, and quickly went out to let others make arrangements.
"Imperial physician, how is this witchcraft usually activated?"
"Back to the emperor, this time it is aimed at the Sixth Princess and Princess Rui. According to Weichen, this time it only needs to be based on the two puppets with something from her two bodies. For example, a blood-stained handkerchief , for example, hair or nails, etc. are all acceptable."
"Where else did Princess Rui go after entering the palace?"
"Back to the Emperor, Princess Rui has come all the way. She first went to Qianqing Palace to greet you, and then met the Queen." Aunt Qing came in and replied.
The queen's heart skipped a beat, and she secretly felt that something was not good. She originally thought that this matter would never involve her, but now when she heard what Aunt Qing said, she suddenly felt a little unsure!
"Your Majesty, I have inspected the two dolls just now. They both have long, thin hair. Judging from the workmanship of the dolls and the silver needles on their bodies, this should be the person behind the scenes. People do this in order to test whether this witchcraft is effective."
"Mr. Liu, why did you decide that this was just for testing?" the queen asked with some suspicion.
"Go back to the queen, because this time the needles on the doll are not particularly deep. Firstly, secondly, if that person wants to use this witchcraft to have a better effect, he will do it here With her own blood added to it, I'm afraid Princess Rui and the Sixth Princess will not just go crazy!"
"What? You mean, this is considered light?"
"Back to the Emperor, it is exactly that. If we go by what Wei Chen just said, then Princess Rui and the Sixth Princess will go crazy first, and if they are stopped, they will try every means to torture themselves and die."
"What nonsense! Why have I never heard of it?"
"Back to your Majesty, these things are taboo. Even in the illustrious Witch City, they are not allowed to be used. Because this technique is too destructive, it has been banned by the Witch Kings of the past dynasties, even those who worship it. The illustrious royal family of witchcraft is not cold-hearted in using such inferior witchcraft."
"Such despicable witchcraft, Wanqing, where did you get it?" The emperor's tone already confirmed that this move was the work of the fourth princess.
"No! Father, I have been wronged!"
"Father, it is not difficult for the four princesses to get the hair of the sixth sister. After all, they have always had a close relationship as sisters. But my son's princess has only been back in Beijing for less than a month. How could it happen? Your Majesty, please investigate. "
The emperor's brows were furrowed. The meaning of King Rui was very obvious. He must give him an explanation. Otherwise, wouldn't his princess's sin be in vain?
"Father, the motives behind this person are evil. Firstly, it may be because of Dr. Liu's suggestion to test whether the witchcraft is effective. Secondly, it is confirmed that Xixi hurt the seventh prince. Not only my princess, but also my father and the entire Prince Rui Mansion will be disgusted by you! I ask your father to investigate in detail! Give me, Prince Rui Mansion, justice!"
Concubine Hua gradually calmed down, "Your Majesty, this matter is indeed a bit strange. This Concubine Rui has been lingering on the sick bed, and now she has just returned to Beijing and suffered this. This time, if it weren't for The emperor was alarmed, and he was afraid that as soon as the charge of hurting the seventh prince was confirmed, Princess Rui would become a murderer in a daze, and would even go to jail again. This concubine is not talented and has lived in the palace for a long time. But I also know that Princess Rui has made great contributions to the country in controlling floods in the south of the Yangtze River, and I would like to ask the emperor to investigate clearly, so as not to let my good daughter-in-law, who is so dedicated to Daqing, feel cold!"
The queen's face turned a little pale after hearing this. Concubine Hua's words were clear and logical, but if you listen carefully, you will understand that this is clearly alluding to her own status if the emperor had not arrived in time.
The queen will directly order the disposal of Princess Rui! At least, everyone around her will be disposed of first. This is clearly a hint that this matter has something to do with her.
"Your Majesty, what Concubine Hua said is that this matter must not be let go. Your Majesty, please investigate clearly."
As the queen said this, her eyes looked at Concubine Hua, but she couldn't see the slightest clue on her face, so she had to give up.
"Your Majesty, Princess Rui and the Sixth Princess are outside asking for an audience."
"Let them come in."
"My son, I send my regards to my father." Su Xiyue and Li Qingfang bowed politely, but after the emperor called out, they looked at each other and remained kneeling.
"To inform my father, I just heard that my daughter-in-law accidentally injured the seventh prince by mistake, and she asked my father to investigate clearly. It is true that my daughter-in-law did not know what happened? However, even so, it is true that my daughter-in-law hurt someone.
I can't deny it, so I ask my father to punish me."
After Su Xiyue finished speaking, she kowtowed to the main seat.
The sixth princess's words were basically the same as Su Xiyue's. The general idea was that as a child, she actually hurt her biological mother. It was really an unpardonable crime. However, she didn't know anything. It was really unbelievable.
Please ask the emperor to investigate clearly.
"I will naturally give you an explanation for this matter."
After the emperor finished speaking, the eunuch in charge brought several palace servants over.
"Your Majesty, these people are all palace attendants around the fourth princess. Because they heard that the fourth princess had committed a taboo and openly used witchcraft, they immediately panicked. Later, the imperial guards found out.
There were clues, so I sent them all over."
The queen's face was gloomy with a hint of irresistible majesty, "Tell me everything you know, word for word. If you dare to hide even a word, you will be killed immediately!"
The palace attendants were so frightened that they immediately began to kowtow and beg for mercy.
"Your Majesty, I am the second-class palace maid next to the fourth princess. A few days ago, the fourth princess asked my slave to put a beautiful bun on her head. This attracted the admiration of the sixth princess, and then she asked my slave to give her a new look.
I tied up my hair, and at the same time, I took advantage of that opportunity to let the slave grow a few hairs of the sixth princess. The slave did not know the use of the fourth princess at that time, but she was the master, and the slave was a servant, so she should obey the master.
Order. Please ask the emperor to investigate clearly."
"Your Majesty, a few days ago, the fourth princess suddenly had a whim and said she wanted to make some small outfits. At that time, the servant did not pay attention, thinking that the fourth princess was pregnant. Unexpectedly, the fourth princess used the finest white.
brocade, and asked the slave to make a set of clothes for her that would be smaller even for a baby. At that time, the slave thought that the fourth princess did not know the size of the baby, but she did not dare to disobey her master, so she started to make three sets.
