Chapter 605: insanity
"Crazy, everyone is crazy, that Zhuo is a mad dog under his hands! Point and bite!" An official of the Ministry of punishment was very angry, and it was self-evident who he was referring to.
"Quiet your anger, calm your anger, I'd better report it to your lord immediately." Someone tried to persuade him, "My lord..." The words came to my lips feeling inappropriate and swallowed them back.
His Highness the Crown Prince ordered to solve the case within a time limit. The Ministry of Criminal Justice could not find out the cause of death, nor could he find the mastermind behind it, so he had to find someone to report the dead ghost. Naturally, His Highness the Crown Prince scolded him bloody.
The Minister of the Ministry of Justice was the first to bear the brunt, and Dali Temple and Yushitai also followed suit. The Minister of the Ministry of Justice couldn't bear the pressure, and finally fell ill, and asked for leave to recuperate in the mansion. As for the real illness or the fake illness, who knows?
Dali Temple and Yushitai especially sympathized with the Ministry of Justice. Although they were also scolded, who made people die in the prison of the Ministry of Justice? Fortunately, I didn't rob people at the beginning... It's not that I didn't rob, I didn't rob...
Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice pretended to be sick at the beginning, and then he became really sick after pretending. He is convalescing in the mansion, today I will ask him what to do, tomorrow I will ask him for an idea, the day after tomorrow... Will he not be sick?
"My lord, my lord, it has been found out, and the cause of death has been found out." The minister of the Ministry of punishment had just drank the soup and was about to lie down, when he saw his confidant who stayed in the Ministry of punishment rush over happily.
"Find out?" Minister of the Ministry of Justice was shocked, because he was about to be tossed to death because of this matter, so he was very happy, and quickly asked: "What is the cause of death? How did you find out?"
My confidant looked mysterious, "My lord, you must never have imagined it." After a pause, "It's a Gu, that female assassin was infected with a kind of Gu. It's not a poison, how can anyone in the Ministry of Criminal Affairs understand?" He still did not forget to applaud the Ministry of Criminal Justice.
"Who found out it was a Gu?" No one in the Ministry of Punishment understood, so it was naturally not someone from the Ministry of Punishment. Dali Temple? Yushitai? Probably not, is that... Could it be?
Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice had an ominous premonition in his heart, and sure enough, he heard his confidant's tone lowered, "Yes, it's the person Zhuo Zhengyang brought over from the Ministry of Household Affairs."
Standing behind Zhuo Zhengyang is Wen Jiuxiao. Doesn't this mean that Xiao Wen Shangshu, who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, not only knew what happened in Beijing, but also had a hand in it?
The confidant continued: "I heard that the man is a Gu master from Miao Village, and he is the best at using Gu. He only took a few casual glances and said that the man was infected by Gu." He had no idea that the Gu master and high priest of Miao Village were invited back by Wen Jiuxiao on the way.
Shangshu of the Ministry of Punishment...
The assassin's cause of death was found out, but he couldn't be happier.
Gu... His expression changed all over the world, this is something more terrifying than poison! It is also the most taboo thing for the royal family in this dynasty, after all, there was a lesson from the blood of witchcraft.
This happened in the generation of the great-grandfather of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Not only did a concubine in the palace control the emperor at that time with Gu, but she almost killed the prince. If it wasn’t for the coincidence that a young lady from the Miao Village discovered it, the royal family of the Daqing Dynasty would have been overthrown.
Since then, the royal family has kept the word witchcraft secret. But now Gu was found on a dead man, no one should take it lightly!
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince couldn't help thinking of his father's untimely actions, and felt suspicious.
As an emperor, Emperor Taikang was naturally tough, how could he be so faint because of his illness? Thinking of the records in the secrets of the royal family, His Highness the Crown Prince couldn't sit still.
When the crown prince went to visit his father, he asked the Gu master from the Miao village to pretend to be an imperial doctor to go with him. He suppressed the anxiety in his heart, and greeted his father's physical condition respectfully and admiringly.
Actually, at this time Taikangdi was already in very bad health, and was drowsy most of the time during the day. After only talking for a while, Emperor Taikang lost his spirits. Seeing this, the crown prince had no choice but to leave.
Out of the main hall, the prince asked seemingly casually, "Who have come to visit the emperor recently?" After the father and son broke up unhappy last time, although the prince did not allow the emperor to summon the courtiers, he did not forbid the concubines, princes and princesses to visit.
The **** said: "The emperor's spirit is getting weaker and weaker, even if he is awake, he is weak, and most of the time he is not happy to see people, but the imperial concubine and the sixth prince came twice more."
Without waiting for the prince to ask questions, he continued: "Since Princess Anle is gone, the imperial concubine has become more and more low-key. She doesn't speak when she comes to the emperor, and often stays with the emperor silently. The sixth prince is filial. He reads history books to the emperor every time he comes back, and the emperor will feel better."
The noble concubine and the sixth brother? It doesn't sound suspicious. The crown prince nodded slowly, raised his hand to let him go back, "It's good to serve the emperor."
Back to the East Palace, the crown prince couldn't wait to ask: "Can you see something strange in your father?"
Gu Master rolled his eyes, and said: "It's Gu, the grassroots can be sure that the emperor has been infected by Gu."
"Can it be removed?" The prince asked again hastily.
The Gu master shook his head, "The emperor's body is the child Gu, and the person who is pregnant with the mother Gu can manipulate the child Gu to influence the emperor. The tricky thing is that the emperor's body is already exhausted, but the Gu has suspended the emperor's ray of vitality. If you forcefully pull out the Gu..."
Everyone understands the unfinished words.
The sub-gu on Emperor Taikang's body was not impossible to remove, but when the sub-gu was removed, his life came to an end.
"Is there any other good strategy?" The prince asked.
Gu Master shook his head again, "Grassmen are incompetent."
The prince frowned, walked around the room for a few steps with his hands behind his back, turned around suddenly, and asked, "Maybe you found the mother Gu?"
Gu Master hesitated for a moment, "Grassmen, let's try it."
The crown prince regained his spirits, "Then I'll have to thank Gu Master."
The mother Gu can manipulate the child Gu, but it must be in contact with each other, so that the suspect can be locked down, and all the people who have contact with Emperor Taikang need to be investigated one by one. It may be intuition, the crown prince placed the main object of suspicion on the noble concubine and the sixth prince.
Needless to say, the imperial concubine, she has no princes or princesses, especially Princess An Le, who suffered so much before her death.
Princess Anle's death is related to Wen Jiuxiao, and this is a big feud. Coincidentally, the father targeted Wen Jiuxiao several times, and if he said that the imperial concubine avenged his daughter, it would be justified.
