Yao Xian wanted to go to the palace to see the emperor, which was naturally what Xuan Tianming and Xuan Tianhua wanted. They had made many assumptions about Tianwu's changes, but before they actually found out, all of them were
Empty talk. But as for whether Yao Xian can enter the palace, he dare not give an absolute guarantee.
Xuan Tianming said: "The atmosphere in the palace is weird now. Not to mention grandpa, even I and the seventh brother cannot walk freely in the palace. Whether we can send grandpa in, we can only try it."
Yao Xian nodded, "It doesn't matter. If you can't do it openly, you can do it secretly. The old emperor is not afraid of doting on Concubine Yuan Shu. At worst, he will stun the two of them, and there will always be a chance to get close." He was not polite at all,
He immediately thought of a way to stun people, "But after hearing what Aheng said about the emperor's changes, I had some speculations in my heart." Yao Xian pondered for a while, and no one bothered him until he decided to speak out.
, then he said again: "It's Gu."
"Gu?" Xuan Tian Ming and Xuan Tianhua both spoke at the same time, and then heard Xuan Tian Ming say: "Witch Gu? Is it the kind that pricks a little person, writes their name and birthdate and then pricks them with acupuncture?" What did he know about this aspect?
I don’t know much about it, but I only know that there were concubines in the palace who practiced witchcraft, and Emperor Tianwu was very angry.
But what Yao Xian said about the poison was different from what he said. He did not agree very much with the method of piercing the little people. He even said: "That kind of thing has no basis. It is basically equivalent to superstition. It is people's belief in
It's just my own psychological suggestion. I don't think that pricking a little person from far away, writing the name and date of birth, and then pricking it with a needle can really have a certain impact on the person being treated. Of course, the world's best
It's just a wonder, and it doesn't mean that the things I don't believe in don't exist at all, but the Gu I'm talking about today is definitely not that kind." Yao Xian told them: "There is a real Gu in this world, which is real.
What exists is a mysterious object that is carefully cultivated by a special type of people over many years using a special method. It can be large or small, and is usually an animal, such as a snake, scorpion, etc. Usually two are a pair.
One acts on the bewitched person, and the other stays with the bewitched person to control the bewitched person. Under this control, the bewitched person behaves abnormally and has a temperament.
These major changes are the most basic changes, but more serious ones may include killing people under the orders of the caster. Don't think this is alarmist, these are real. Of course, there are also very few types of voodoo.
It is a plant, but whether it is an animal or a plant, Gu can only be raised by women, and men cannot raise the seeds if they are planted.”
Yao Xian's words gave a new direction for Emperor Tianwu's disorder. This direction was something Xuan Tian Ming and Xuan Tianhua had never thought of. However, Feng Yu Heng had already made such a guess. But she didn't dare.
She asserted that she had always wanted to wait for Yao Xian to come back to discuss it with him. Unexpectedly, after Yao Xian came back and heard about it, he actually wanted to go to the same place with her.
Feng Yuheng said to several people: "As far as I know, Gu art is generally in the hands of a type of people living in the southwest region, but the southwest I am talking about is different from the Dashun territory, so now I also
I can’t say where it came from. But I know one thing. When Lu Ping, the eldest daughter of the Lu family, jumped into the water to save my aunt, her face was injured by a poisonous insect. It is said that the insect is a poisonous insect, and
Now that her face is intact, I think I might be able to get some clues by asking her about this matter."
Xuan Tianhua listened for a while and then said: "The art of Gu is very popular in southern Xinjiang. If I remember correctly, there were people who were proficient in the art of Gu in the ancient Shu Kingdom." As he spoke, he asked Xuan Tianming, "You are attacking Nan
Have you ever encountered such a thing when you were in the world?"
Xuan Tianming shook his head, "No. But not all ancient Shu people should be able to use such evil things. If they really exist, they should be controlled by the royal family. And we did not attack the ancient Shu capital, so there is no
Over contact.”
Feng Yuheng also said: "Indeed, once such a thing exists, the center of power will definitely start to control it, and it is impossible for everyone to know it. If it is said that Gu is really controlled by the royal family of the ancient Shu Kingdom, then the people who have been stationed in the south for many years
The eighth oldest person in the world is too suspicious."
"The person who benefits the most is him. Even if the poison was not caused by him, it must be related to him."
The person responsible for the poison is Concubine Li, and given the relationship between Concubine Li and Concubine Yuan Shu, people will always associate this matter with each other."
Xuan Tianhua also felt that there was some truth to this. He said: "For a long time, we have focused on Concubine Yuan Shu and Lao Ba, but we have forgotten that there is Concubine Li living in Changning Palace. Since we want to
Investigate, just investigate thoroughly!" He said to Yao Xian: "Tomorrow we will find a way to arrange for Mr. Yao to enter the palace, and we will first explore the palace's attitude."
They discussed for a while, and then Yao Xian said goodbye and left. After all, he was old and was very tired from the bumpy journey from Xiaozhou to the capital.
Feng Yuheng's nose felt a little sore when she looked at the background of Yao Xian's departure. Xuan Tianming held her in his arms and persuaded her: "Don't you often say that aging is a natural law and no one can force it? So, look at it.
, at least grandpa is still strong and strong now."
She nodded and said nothing more, but the sadness in her heart was something that even Xuan Tianming could not understand. Yao Xian was more than just a grandfather to Feng Yuheng, he was her biological grandfather in her previous life and the only one she had with that world.
The connection. With Yao Xian here, she will feel that she has someone to rely on and that she is not alone in this world. That sense of belonging is something Xuan Tianming cannot give, but she cannot tell that there are some secrets
You can only keep it in your heart for the rest of your life.
"It's okay." She shook her head, smiled, and changed the subject: "Brother Qi is having lunch at the house. We haven't had a good talk together for a few days. I went to the concubine's place in the morning, and she was in good spirits.
"
Xuan Tianhua nodded and said: "Okay." He was still as calm and gentle as before, but now when she heard it, she could always hear the helplessness and fatigue hidden in his voice.
Feng Yuheng thought, Xuan Tianhua didn't like this kind of Dashun, right? He should never have been thrown into such a situation. He was a person who should have been reborn, but he was thrown into the darkest place of a country.
The secular center of power, I am afraid that for Xuan Tianhua, being born into the royal family is the most desperate thing in this life.
Three people, one pot of wine, no one drinks too much, each person takes a small cup, holds it in his hand and tastes it briefly, but he can also taste the taste of each.
Feng Yuheng said to the two of them: "I once asked Brother Six about Concubine Li's practice of witchcraft and Gu. Sixth Brother said that Concubine Li didn't know anything about witchcraft and they were all nonsense. Do you think it is credible?
"
Xuan Tianming nodded: "It's credible. No matter what Li Fei is, Sixth Brother is trustworthy. But the credibility I say is only for Sixth Brother, but it doesn't mean that Sixth Brother truly understands him.
Mother. So, this matter still needs to be investigated as Brother Qi said."
"Okay." Feng Yuheng took the initiative to take over the matter, "I will search Concubine Li's palace."
Xuan Tianhua was confused for a moment as he listened to her words. Feng Yuheng could see that he wanted to ask himself several times how to search and how he could do it quietly, but he swallowed the words as soon as he reached his lips.
Go back. Xuan Tianhua is not a gossip after all. Although he knows that Feng Yuheng has some secrets, he does not make it clear. They are tacitly understanding each other, which is the best way to get along with him. But he told Xuan Tian
Ming said: "No matter what, when the situation has reached this point, we must prepare for the worst. If that day comes... Ming'er, you have to take Aheng away, leave the capital, and even leave Dashun. Not everything
We can all recover smoothly. Once the situation collapses, there is no need to tie up everything in this incident."
Xuan Tianhua's words made Feng Yuheng feel dazed for a moment. This meant that when the crisis reached an irreversible moment, we should not think about sharing the hardships together, but abandon our country, abandon our home, and fly away? Such selfish words actually came from Xuan Tianhua's words.
What came out of Tianhua's mouth surprised her greatly.
But when she looked at Xuan Tianhua again, she saw a hint of worry that could not be hidden in his eyes. When the other party looked at her, the feeling of worry was even more obvious. She suddenly realized that Xuan Tianhua said this
It's all for her.
She turned away hastily, feeling increasingly sad, but she still couldn't help but ask: "What about you?"
Xuan Tianhua said calmly: "I'm leaving too. I'm not alone. I always have to protect my mother and concubine." As he spoke, he looked at Xuan Tianming, his eyes showing the love of an elder brother. He said: "Ming'er
, you protect Ah Heng, and I will also protect our mother and concubine, I believe in seventh brother."
"I believe you." Xuan Tianming opened his mouth again, but hesitated to say something. Xuan Tianhua also raised his hand to interrupt what he was going to say next. Xuan Tianming sighed softly and said: "I can actually
Looking after all of you.”
"Seventh brother can do it too." Xuan Tianhua took a sip of sake and said calmly, "My mother-in-law has raised me for more than twenty years, so she always gives me a chance to repay her kindness. Ming'er, I am different from you after all.
"
"But I have never regarded you as an outsider." Xuan Tianming expressed his position, "Whether it has been since childhood or now, to me, we are from the same mother."
"I understand." Xuan Tianhua smiled lightly, "So, leave your mother and concubine to me, Ming'er can rest assured."
Xuan Tianming drank a cup of wine and said, "I'm at ease." Then he gently hugged Feng Yuheng and said, "If there is such a day, I will take Aheng to the west. What about you?"
Xuan Tianhua said: "Further east from the eastern boundary is the shoreless sea. There are islands in the sea called Renxian. I will take my mother and concubine to see what Renxian Island looks like. If my mother and concubine like it there, I will
Then we will build her a paradise on Renxian Island. If the mother-in-law doesn’t like it, we will go to you and carve out a piece of the mountain for her so that she can build a stronghold and occupy the mountain as her king. How about that?"
After saying this, the three of them were very happy. Concubine Yun took over the mountain and became the king. This was really a good idea!
Feng Yuheng was looking forward to that kind of life. She argued with Xuan Tianming, "Can we go with Brother Seven and his mother? I also want to go to sea, and I also want to live on a small island. It is better to occupy the mountain and become the king."
Occupy the island and become the king, let’s go and occupy an island!”
Xuan Tianming laughed loudly, and Xuan Tianhua couldn't help but laugh, saying: "Aheng, you don't know what kind of surprise Ming'er has left for you on the west side of Dashun!"
