Li Qingshu was puzzled. Xiaoxiang Palace said it was big or small. All the good things were stored in the house. What good things could be found in the yard?
Li Man'er stood up, threw the stick in his hand on the ground, and then said: "Aunt, it's best to close the courtyard door tightly, and then find two people to come and dig, and everything will be clear."
The sun was so bright that it was too bright to open one's eyes, but Li Qingshu felt a chill running from the top of her head to the soles of her feet, making the hairs all over her body stand up.
She is no longer the innocent little girl she was when she first entered the palace. She knows that anything can happen in this palace.
"Quickly, close the door and find someone to dig this place out for me."
A chilling air flashed across Li Qingshu's face. This was the first time Li Man'er saw the word "aura" on her since she entered the palace.
It's really scary enough.
Soon, two young eunuchs ran over with tools and dug at the location designated by Li Man'er. After digging a few times, they heard a "dang" sound, as if they had dug something.
The two young eunuchs were afraid of damaging the things, so they threw the tools aside and started digging with their bare hands. After a while, they took out a jar.
A very ordinary round jar, the kind used for pickling pickles, with a round lid on top. The strange thing is that there is a worn-out talisman paper stuck on the lid, which looks weird.
Two young eunuchs placed the jar on the ground. One of them was quick and reached out to lift off the talisman paper on the jar and open it.
A pebble flew from nowhere and hit the little eunuch on the back of his hand. He heard an ouch and retracted his hand subconsciously.
"You dare to touch anything. I think you don't want to live anymore."
The little eunuch listened to Li Man'er's words and was so frightened that his legs weakened, "Girl, this thing is untouchable?"
"You move it out, and it will be fine under the sun. But if you accidentally lift the jar, disaster will come."
The little eunuch trembled, bowed his head and dared not speak.
Li Qingshu did not come forward, but covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief and asked from a distance: "Man'er, what on earth is this?"
"What's in this jar is supposed to be a stillborn baby." Li Man'er circled the jar and said, "It's a pity that it's already fully formed and it's a baby boy."
Li Qingshu was angry and scared after hearing this. She couldn't help but trembled and said, "Is this a harmful thing?"
Aunt Wenxiu held Li Qingshu's arm tightly, fearing that she would faint because she couldn't bear it.
How could a good Xiaoxiang Palace have such filthy things!
"yes!"
When Zun Guo did not lower his head, Li Man'er felt that the matter was of great importance, so he had to explain it clearly to Li Qingshu, "Auntie, let me find some quicklime and glutinous rice first. It would be better if this jar is left to dry in the sun."
"Go find it quickly."
Before Li Qingshu could say anything, Aunt Wenxiu sent someone to get quicklime.
After a while, quicklime and glutinous rice came.
Li Man'er sprinkled quicklime around the jar and sprinkled glutinous rice, and then said: "Let people watch it, but don't touch it. Let it bask in the sun first."
Li Qingshu nodded, "Man'er, come into the house with me."
Aunt Wenxiu called all the people in Xiaoxiang Palace to the courtyard and lectured them, telling them to abide by their duties and not to have any thoughts they shouldn't have.
"Also, you have to close your mouth tightly. If I know someone is chewing his tongue behind my back, I will peel off his skin carefully."
Even though Aunt Wenxiu is usually very kind, it would be quite scary if she really gets violent.
In the hall, Li Qingshu's heart was still in a state of confusion.
"What exactly is in that jar?"
Li Man'er didn't know how to speak, so he just said: "It's a kind of x-magic that's been recorded in books. It's similar to witchcraft, but different."
"What's the difference?" The word "witchcraft" made Li Qingshu's teeth chatter. This matter was of great importance. If you were not careful, it would be a serious crime to confiscate your family and exterminate your clan.
"Don't worry, aunt." Li Man'er naturally saw Li Qingshu's fear, and she quickly said: "This thing can't be used to frame others, it can only be used to harm others. Buried in your yard, it can be seen that it is used for
Harm you."
Li Qingshu's mood was somewhat relieved, but she still couldn't believe that there was a baby's body in the jar.
"There really is the body of a baby boy inside."
"Eighty percent yes." Li Man'er said: "The baby was forcefully induced and was still alive when he was born! The method recorded in the book is rather vicious..."
She hesitated whether to say it.
Li Qingshu naturally wants to listen to the truth.
"There are no outsiders here. You and I are close relatives. There is nothing we can't say."
Li Man'er then said: "Aunt, you are really too cruel. I'm afraid you will be upset after hearing this."
Li Qingshu took a deep breath and mentally prepared herself, "That's what you say."
"Babies are induced to be born and are destined not to live long. The poisonous soup prepared in advance must be poured down while the baby is still alive."
Li Qingshu screamed, her heart clenched.
What a ruthless person! In order to harm others, he would do whatever it takes to do this.
"As soon as the baby died, he was wrapped in the corpse mud that had been mixed in advance. The mud was also very particular and extremely poisonous. He put it in the altar and buried it in the ground, and the poison slowly penetrated into the air.
Of course, if you smell it for a long time, it is not good for your health. Some practitioners believe that the baby will be a ghost after death, which will disturb people's lives, lead to childlessness, and long-term injuries due to labor and illness."
Li Qingshu's teeth chattered, and it took her a long time to spit out two words, "So poisonous!"
It seems that there was a reason why she had a miscarriage.
And the fourth princess.
Li Qingshu's eyes suddenly widened. She grabbed Li Man'er's hand and asked, "Where is the fourth princess? Could she have also been affected by this, and then..."
Li Man'er could only nod.
The child is small and her body is not well developed in all aspects, so it will naturally have a greater impact on her.
Li Qingshu shed two lines of hot tears, but she choked silently, "My daughter."
"My condolences, aunt, but you still have to take care of your health."
The fourth princess has been gone for several years, but every time she thinks of her, Li Qingshu's heart still bleeds, as if she will never get better.
"Man'er, this matter needs to be investigated carefully. Remember, don't make it public."
"I understand, it's just aunt, what do you want to do with the jar?"
"Bury it back." Li Qingshu's eyes flashed with determination, "Is there any way you can do to prevent it from harming others?"
Li Man'er thought for a while, then nodded and said: "You can try it, but girl, why don't you ask the Queen Mother and the Emperor to make the decision for you?"
After hearing this, Li Qingshu didn't know how to explain it for a moment. She didn't believe that Li Man'er really didn't understand the truth, so was this a test from her or a sign of weakness?
