The prince swayed and dragged King Jingnan to the side hall, saying only one sentence - "Clean up the inner hall!"
The prince entered the side hall and said sternly with a livid face: "I have important matters to discuss with His Highness King Jingnan. No one is allowed to approach the gate!"
Then, he personally closed the door with a bang.
The guards of King Jingnan stood there expressionlessly, waiting for their master's return.
But when Ming Yueying saw this situation, she felt uneasy in her heart. What did this King Jingnan who appeared out of nowhere say to the prince?
She seemed to vaguely hear something about Gu...what about Gu...or bone?
Our prince doesn't seem to care about people's livelihood. He shouldn't be Gu He Gu... could it be Gu?!
Ming Yueying's face changed slightly.
Eunuch Tang has already come over to chase people away unceremoniously: "Princess, you can leave."
Ming Yueying turned her eyes slightly and tried to stay: "Since His Highness the Crown Prince is feeling better and guests are coming again, as the Crown Princess, I should serve tea to take care of His Highness and entertain the guests?"
Eunuch Tang sneered and drove people away impatiently: "Okay, didn't you hear His Highness say that no one else is allowed to come near? You should go back to your dormitory to rest."
Seeing that His Highness the Crown Prince was fine, this woman began to pretend to please His Highness again. Get out of here!
When Ming Yueying saw this, she knew she couldn't force her way in, so she could only turn around and leave.
After Ming Lanruo comes back, she will tell him what happened today.
…
The side hall of the East Palace.
The prince looked at Jing Nan in surprise and asked in a deep voice: "King Jing Nan, are you telling the truth?"
King Jingnan sat down on a chair, played with the jade ring in his hand, and said with a smile——
"Of course it's true. When Brother Lancang wrote a letter and told Xiao Wang that His Highness was unwell, he didn't expect that His Highness's discomfort was due to a poison."
The prince suddenly remembered the night of the secret meeting at the City God's Temple a few months ago before Shangguan Hongye left the capital.
The faceless masked man smiled and said——
"The Gu Miao doctor next to King Jingnan is said to be extremely miraculous. Not only can he cast poison, but he can also cure diseases. If His Highness is willing, King Jingnan will come to Beijing to pay homage to His Majesty next month. Can you ask him to take a look at it then?
"
"Canglan" is the faceless masked man
At that time, he only thought that King Jingnan ruled the three provinces in the southwest and was worth seeing.
But when I saw him today, I realized that King Jingnan could tell at a glance that he had been cursed and had practiced witchcraft!
He gnashed his teeth and walked back and forth: "No wonder, no wonder things have not gone well for Gu in recent days. It turns out that someone is cursing Gu behind his back!"
Once again, his legitimate son was gone; once again, the black market was destroyed; and again, the people he colluded with in Northeast Xinjiang were completely wiped out by Shangguan Hongye!
Now even Xu Xiuyi, the next crown princess who she carefully arranged and was destined to win, has become a mere businesswoman!
Shangguan Zhou stood still and punched the table hard: "If you practice witchcraft and Gu, you will be punished by the three clans. Who dares to cast a curse on me? When I report to my father, the decision will be made."
These people must be cut into pieces!”
King Jingnan played with the jade ring in his hand and looked at Shangguan Zhou as if he were a fool: "Your Highness, witchcraft and voodoo are two different things. Witchcraft is witchcraft and voodoo is voodoo. They are not the same thing, okay?
"
The prince was stunned: "Ah?"
Why is it not the same thing? In all the books he has studied, starting from the pre-Qin era, witchcraft is the same thing!
King Jingnan said coldly: "Although people at that time classified voodoo as witchcraft, witchcraft mostly relied on 'spirits' and 'spells' to curse others or realize one's own wishes, but it was relatively illusory."
He paused and said, "Voodoo is different. Voodoo relies on physical objects to cast spells, such as using insects to kill people or control people."
In the Song Dynasty, Yan Yonghe also recorded in "Jisheng Fang" -
"There are several kinds of poisons recorded in the scriptures. They were made by people in the mountains of Guangzhong. They used insects and snakes to store them in vessels and let them eat each other. If there is one thing that survives alone, it is called a poison.
In human terms, Gu worm is to put all the poisonous insects in a vat and let them eat each other. The one that survives in the end is the Gu worm.
"But this is just one of the ways to make voodoo. In fact, there are many ways to make voodoo, some simple and some complicated." King Jingnan lazily crossed his legs.
He met the emperor early in the morning. He came to the East Palace without even having a sip of water, but he was dragged here to give lectures to this stupid prince. It was quite tiring.
The prince frowned: "Your Majesty knows so clearly, maybe you will also..."
Halfway through his words, he swallowed them back.
King Jingnan stopped playing with his fingers, looked at him with cold eyes and said with a smile——
"Yes, Xiao Wang was once the chief disciple of the Great Witch of Southern Miao, and he also knew how to use voodoo. Although Xiao Wang's father is Han, his mother is a Miao saint. Does His Highness the Crown Prince want to kill my three tribes?"
He answered so simply, frankly, even aggressively.
The prince froze and didn't know how to answer for a moment.
After a while, Shangguan Zhou finally laughed: "King Jingnan was joking, of course you are different."
Once the art of witchcraft and poison was discovered during the Han, Wei and Jin dynasties, it would arouse the anger of the government and the public. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty even killed his queen and prince for this.
Thousands of years later, in this dynasty, there are occasional legends about gods and gods, although there is no taboo on "witchcraft and poison" like in the Han, Wei and Jin Dynasties.
However, the founding emperor Taizu also had many palace builders killed because of two witchcraft cases during the construction of the palace, and many officials were implicated and imprisoned.
Although the Miao people were good at this technique and he had heard of it occasionally, King Jingnan was still really arrogant and dared to say any taboo words.
"Haha." King Jingnan leaned lazily on the back of his chair and said coldly.
"So, Xiao Wang said that His Highness was possessed by a poison, not by some divine curse. If something bad happens to you, it has nothing to do with being possessed by a curse."
Stupidity, misjudgment, or underestimation of the enemy led to various failures, and the prince still found an excuse to be bewitched.
Why does he feel that Shangguan Zhou is not as smart as Canglan said.
Shangguan Zhou naturally heard the mocking meaning in King Jingnan's words. His face turned blue and white for a while, but he still suppressed his anger.
After all, he could use King Jingnan now.
The prince suddenly bowed to King Jingnan: "King Jingnan, please save me and remove the poison from me!"
King Jingnan saw that he was quite sensible, so he chuckled and knocked on the table: "Your Highness, please sit down first. I will take a look at it for you, please?"
The prince immediately sat down, and King Jingnan began to check the prince's eyes, ears, mouth, tongue and other seven orifices, and took the prince's pulse.
Then, he inserted a needle tempered into blue deeply into the prince's fingertip, took a drop of his blood, smelled it, and used a fire to roast the blood droplets on the tip of the needle.
A bit of burning smell floated in the air.
The prince felt anxious and uneasy in his heart. He endured it for a while before asking: "How is it? What kind of poison have I got?"
King Jingnan smiled and took back the silver needle: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince, suddenly felt an unbearable itching on his back a few months ago. He couldn't help scratching it until it was bloody and bloody. Even if it is cured, it will relapse, especially after sexual intercourse?"
The prince nodded: "Yes, even now, I have to apply medicine to relieve the itching before I can have a good rest."
But everyone in Tai Hospital knows about this.
King Jingnan raised the corners of his lips and chuckled: "That's it, the time the poison in you was called in Miao Territory - the time... forget it, you won't understand even if I talk too much, just call it itching poison."
The prince was stunned for a moment, with an ugly expression on his face: "Itchy Gu? It's really itchy!"
King Jingnan added: "This is not a fatal poisonous insect. It is just a mischievous poisonous insect in Miao territory. If it stays in your body for a few years, it will die on its own, and your highness's illness will be cured."
"A prank?" The prince gritted his teeth.
He couldn't help but said: "I don't know how much I have suffered for this Gu. This can also be called a prank. If it is not a prank, wouldn't it cost Gu's life?"
He wished he could kill the person who poisoned him!
King Jingnan was too lazy to listen to his self-pity, and only said: "If Your Highness wants to get rid of this bug, just come to the post house to find me the next day."
"Why does King Jingnan have to live in a posthouse? There are many empty and nice palaces in the East Palace. Why don't you live in the East Palace?"
The prince immediately persuaded him to stay. He now hopes that King Jingnan will stay in the East Palace to see if there is anything wrong with him.
King Jingnan said calmly: "I have some medicinal materials that are only available in Baicao Hall. It is inconvenient to get in and out while living in the palace."
Naturally, the prince couldn't refuse, so he sent a lot of money and servants to the King of Jingnan, and had people take care of him to the post house.
…
She will arrive in the capital tomorrow, and Minglan will be in a good mood when she thinks of her fat baby.
The Lord Governor of Yushu Linfeng jumped out of the window in the middle of the night. She even pulled him to kiss the Lord Governor's eyes and asked him to accompany her to choose a gift.
He was also sensible and knew that he would see the baby tomorrow, so he didn't bother too much. He just kissed her and hugged her, and then let her fall asleep in his arms.
Cang Qiao slept soundly with the girl in his arms, but in the middle of the night, he suddenly felt something was wrong.
He stretched out his hand and touched it. The girl in his arms was shaking like ice!
