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 like Gu...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 drive 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 the 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, he told Xiao Wang that His Highness was unwell. Unexpectedly, His Highness's discomfort was caused by 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. He can not only cast poison, but 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, could you also..."
