Chapter 42: Witchcraft and Gu You are guilty of a taboo
These two people tried their best to mock Xue Hengzhao with harsh words in front of her.
Xue Hengzhao ignored them, just holding a steamed bun in his hand and eating it slowly.
Citron couldn't get angry, so he walked up and knocked off the steamed bun she was eating, and cursed: "You bitch! You're not afraid of choking to death!"
Xue Hengzhao was still not annoyed. He picked up the steamed bun, patted the soil, handed it to Citron and said, "Sister, don't you want it? I'm afraid I won't be able to eat such a good steamed bun in the future."
Then he handed the other one to Lv Zao: "I'll give this to you!"
"Isn't she crazy?" Lu Zao frowned and looked at Xue Hengzhao, "I don't know what nonsense you are talking about."
"I'm doing it for your own good." Xue Hengzhao took the steamed bun back when he saw that they were still refusing to answer, "I have no enmity with you, but you insist on destroying me.
I complained with virtue and offered good advice, but you didn’t appreciate it. Tsk, tut, tut, don’t say I didn’t predict what I said.”
"Fart!" Although Citron didn't understand what Xue Hengzhao was saying, he felt upset and raised his hand to hit her in the face.
Xue Hengzhao's eyes suddenly became extremely sharp, and he pointed at her and said: "You are already dead in front of your eyes, and you are still trying to show off. Let me tell you, what you did to me today will be doubled on you soon." p>
"I have to beat you to death today..." Citron looked at her and his teeth itched with hatred, "You are a shameless little whore! Do you think the prince will support you for revenge?
Let me tell you, no matter what he does, he can't do anything to our noble people! Don't..."
"Shh..." Xue Hengzhao suddenly interrupted her and raised his index finger to his lips solemnly, signaling her to be silent.
Lv Zao and Citron thought at first that Xue Hengzhao was being mysterious, but then they heard that there was indeed movement in front of them.
"Don't waste time with her here, go to the front and have a look." Lv Zao dragged Citron out.
It sounded like the emperor was coming. They all had to go over to see him, so there was no time to delay.
He Guiren thought it was the Holy Master coming at first, because all she saw were eunuchs from Yangze Palace.
She brushed her hair and stood up to greet him.
However, she did not see the emperor, only two young eunuchs supporting Zhang Ze.
"Eunuch Zhang...is this?" He Guiren was very polite to the eunuchs in Yangze Palace, although she felt that it was a bit unruly for these eunuchs to come in rashly.
Eunuch Zhang said with a smile: "Your Majesty, you are really disturbing me. I am here to serve the emperor's will and look for something here."
He Guiren was even more puzzled and asked him: "What does the Holy One want? Send someone to tell him and just take it. Why are there so many people here?"
"I'm afraid this thing is not easy to get, so we have to look for it ourselves." Eunuch Zhang said, waving his hand and instructing the eunuchs who came with him, "Keep your eyes open and look for it carefully."
He Guiren frowned and asked, "Eunuch Zhang, are you here to search for me?"
"Don't be offended, noble man," Eunuch Zhang still smiled, "This servant is here under the imperial edict. Your people must not act rashly, otherwise they will be disobeying the edict."
He emphasized the word "imperial edict" very strongly, and He Guiren really did not dare to say anything else.
Citron and Luzao looked at each other secretly, they didn't know why they were like this.
Of course, they also thought of what Xue Hengzhao said before, but they did not believe that Xue Hengzhao could really invite the imperial edict, and they believed that this was a coincidence.
The eunuchs brought by Eunuch Zhang went to He Guiren's bedroom and searched everywhere.
Their movements are very gentle, and everything will be put back into place after checking it out.
But they searched extremely carefully, even missing He Guiren's bed pillow.
Eunuch Zhang paid close attention to He Guiren's expression and found that she was getting more and more nervous. She twisted a handkerchief in her hand, and her fingers were turned blue and white from the strangulation.
The more she behaves like this, the more confident Eunuch Zhang feels.
From time to time, he used words to hit the eunuchs who were searching: "Don't miss anything, and check all the gaps and hidden compartments."
Seeing the two eunuchs folding up the quilts on the bed, exposing the bed board, Lychee almost cried.
He Guiren's face also became more ugly.
The bed board was lifted, and a wooden box was placed in the place corresponding to the pillow.
The little eunuch picked up the wooden box and saw a man and a woman embracing each other carved on the lid. He knew it was not a good thing, so he didn't open it and sent it directly to Eunuch Zhang.
The box was only the size of an adult's hand. I couldn't tell what kind of wood it was made of, but it was obviously quite old.
"He Guiren, what is this for?" Eunuch Zhang was not in a hurry to open it, but asked He Guiren while holding the box.
However, He Guiren lowered his head, remained silent and refused to answer.
Eunuch Zhang smiled, stopped asking her, and reached out to open the box.
There are two small wooden figures side by side in the box. It can be seen that they are a man and a woman. They are tightly tied with red threads. There are also birth dates written on the wooden figures.
Eunuch Zhang could tell at a glance that one belonged to Mr. He and the other belonged to the emperor.
Pick up the two wooden figures. Below are two strands of hair twisted together.
One of them is black and shiny, and the other is gray.
"He Guiren, you are so bold! How dare you practice witchcraft in the palace! This is a taboo!" Eunuch Zhang's look and voice suddenly became stern.
He Guiren responded and hid his face and cried bitterly.
She knew that everything was over.
The one created by He Guiren is called the Tongxin Gu, and naturally she wants the emperor to favor her forever.
But the art of witchcraft has long been taboo in the palace, not to mention that the emperor now blindly seeks immortality and wishes for immortality.
The elixir of longevity failed to be refined many times, and Taoist Master Wuliang said it was because someone in the palace had violated a taboo.
At first, the emperor suspected that people in Yangze Palace secretly ate meat and fish, and many eunuchs were whipped under orders.
But now that this thing has been found from Qingyunfang, it can be seen that the person who violated the taboo is He Guiren.
She used the wooden figures and hair with the emperor's birth date written on them as a charm to intrude on the emperor's fate, which is really disrespectful.
"Detain all the palace people in Qingyunfang, keep an eye on Mr. He, and wait for his fate." After Eunuch Zhang gave the order, he took the wooden box to deliver a message to the emperor.
Sure enough, the Holy Lord Long Yan was furious, threw the wooden box to the ground, and angrily shouted: "How dare you, bitch! You practice witchcraft in the palace and ruin my path to immortality!
Come on, get Bai Ling! Let me strangle this bitch to death! She and all the palace servants serving in front of her will be strangled to death! No one is allowed to survive!"
Taoist priest Wuliang came forward to plead for mercy, saying that if the emperor wants to live forever, he must kill less, otherwise it will harm his practice.
The emperor had no choice but to calm down, and said after a while: "Demoting He Xiangrui to a palace maid, and punishing Xin Zhe's warehouse to clean the toilet. He will not be transferred for life, and he can only rest until his death!
And you cannot commit suicide, otherwise the whole tribe will be wiped out.
People of Qingyunfang Palace, those who know the truth will be punished, and those who don’t know will not be re-employed."
