"Why the Emperor's luck?" Chu Yunning was confused.
Duke Zhenguo explained: "The emperor's luck is the luck of the lord of the world. Xiao Jingyan has the emperor's luck. Xiao Jingheng's imperial luck should have ended, but he took away the emperor's luck from the crown prince of Nancheng. He has survived to this day. The sacrifice is to destroy Xiao Jingheng.
With the emperor's luck, everything will return to its place."
"Who arranged the sacrifice?"
The Duke of Zhenguo was silent for a while and then said: "I don't know who the monks are in the Jokhang Temple."
Chu Yunning asked a few more questions one after another. After getting the answers she wanted, she had nothing more to ask.
Suddenly a thought came to mind: "Is there any way to cure Chu'er's illness?"
She just gave it a try and was eager to find a way. Unexpectedly, two words came out of Zhen Guogong's mouth: "Prince Xiao."
King Xiao?
"What does this matter have to do with Prince Xiao?"
"What Chu'er has is not a disease, but a poison. The antidote is in two people, Prince Xiao and Xiao Jingheng. Prince Xiao is used as the medicine... I don't know the rest." Duke Zhen Guo said this in a daze.
Chu Yunning was dumbfounded.
Duke Zhen's consciousness gradually returned to normal. He had no idea what he had just said. He just felt as if he had fallen asleep for a while and woke up again. When he opened his eyes and saw Chu Yunning, his heart was still trembling.
"Why are you still here?"
"How to cure Chu'er's poison?" Chu Yunning asked: "How to use medicine?"
The Duke of Zhen Guo was stunned for a moment, not knowing that he had spilled the beans. Instead, he looked aloof and wanted to negotiate with her: "Let me go, and I'll tell you."
"Ha!" Chu Yunning smiled: "It's just using Prince Xiao as medicine, and the antidote is on Prince Xiao and Xiao Jingheng..."
"How do you know?"
Chu Yunning probably guessed that the person who gave Ye Yan'er the bad idea to use his blood as medicine must have something to do with this time.
She stood up and walked out, but Duke Zhen was a little flustered. He hurriedly called out to Chu Yunning.
"Don't you want to save your son?"
Chu Yunning didn't look back: "Send the person to the Criminal Punishment Department."
"Chu Yunning, I can tell you!" Duke Zhenguo kept shouting at the top of his lungs from behind.
Finally, Chu Yunning stopped and glanced back at Lord Zhen Guo, his long eyebrows raised with an impatient look on his face.
"Prince Xiao's blood can be used as medicine to temporarily suppress Chu'er. Xiao Jingheng has known about this for a long time. He deliberately hid it from you. Prince Xiao was poisoned by someone at the banquet. He had taken the royal secret medicine.
Although I don’t know what it is, only Prince Xiao can save Chu’er in this world. The secret medicine in Dongling and the sacred grass on the mountain are both fake. They deliberately set a trap to attract you. "
Duke Zhen Guo restrained himself a lot and did not dare to continue negotiating with Chu Yunning. It was important to save his life.
Chu Yunning was stunned on the spot. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and stared at Lord Zhen Guo seriously, trying to find any flaws in his eyes.
"If you don't believe it, you can take Prince Xiao's blood and try it. Anyway, I am in your hands. If you tell lies, you will definitely not be able to get around me." Zhen Guogong's tone also contained a hint of pleading.
She sneered: "Since you take the initiative to tell me these things, I can..."
Chu Yunning's tone was very slow, and there was a deliberate pause in the middle. Duke Zhen Guo looked happy, but he heard her say, "I can give Duke Zhen Guo a decent way to die."
At that time, the secret guards came to report: "Chu Shang Palace, a group of unknown secret guards came outside.
Their martial arts skills are extremely high."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yunning rushed to Chu'er's side without caring about much. Fortunately, Chu'er was still sleeping peacefully.
The sound of fighting soon reached his ears, and Chu Yunning guarded Chu'er every step of the way and began to blow the jade whistle.
About half an hour later, there was another bloody storm, and there were more corpses outside.
"What on earth is going on?" Chu Yunning asked.
The secret guard said: "These people are the secret guards left by the late emperor, who stayed with Duke Zhen. Something happened in the house just now. One of them entered the secret passage and went out to inform the others, which led to these secret guards coming to save him."
Man, Duke Zhen Guo has been rescued into the tunnel and left."
Chu Yunning gave a faint hum, and if he ran away, he could be found again, as long as Chu'er was fine.
"Ask Magistrate Li to lead people to seal the city gate immediately."
"yes.
Chu Yunning put a cloak on Chu'er to cover his face, and took a soft sedan back to Magistrate Li's mansion. The courtyard was full of secret guards, the six thousand secret guards given to her by Xiao Jingheng.
Each one has experienced hundreds of battles, one against a hundred.
More than 500 people were left to guard Magistrate Li's house, especially Chu'er, who was guarding the house every step of the way.
The first thing he did was to order Gao Gao to burn down the town of Liuhua Lake, and then sent someone to deliver a letter to Xiao Jingheng.
"The other family members of the Zhenguo Palace must be found as soon as possible."
"yes."
Chu Yunning hesitated for a while, then simply announced to the outside world that the Duke of Zhen was going to rebel, and set up a cruel Bagua formation to sacrifice human blood, and exposed the address of the Bagua formation, and gave him a reward of silver.
As long as you provide valid clues, you will be given one hundred taels.
"Chu Shanggong, isn't this appropriate? Your Majesty wouldn't go over the throne and issue orders like this. This is against the rules." Magistrate Li looked embarrassed.
Chu Yunning squinted at Magistrate Li, with a frightened look that made him immediately lower his eyes. He suddenly smiled and said, "As a court official, your behavior is disorderly in private and you use power to support Mother Liu. Is this in line with the rules?"
These words made Magistrate Li's face turn red, and he wished he could find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
"this……"
"What are you going to do to compensate for delaying something important? Why don't you go quickly!" Chu Yunning roared loudly.
Magistrate Li immediately went to do it.
Suddenly, the ferret jumped from the eaves onto Chu Yunning's shoulders, covered in dust, and chattered for a long time.
"Do you know where the Duke of Zhen is?" He almost forgot about the ferret. This is a natural radar.
The ferret nodded, and then rubbed its belly. Chu Yunning immediately understood: "Beggars' chickens? Are ten enough?"
The ferret's eyes shone and he nodded crazily. In this world, Chu Yunning's craftsmanship was the only one he loved most. No one could match it. Once he tasted it once, he would never forget it.
In order to get rid of his stuttering, he tried his best to do things for Chu Yunning.
Chu Yunning touched its fur and said with a smile: "Wait, I'll do it right now. Just watch Chu'er."
The ferret ran directly into the house as if he could understand the words. Chu Yunning rolled up his sleeves and asked people to dig in the mud and pick lotus leaves. Then he killed a dozen fresh pheasants and started marinating them with ingredients.
.
Very skillfully, he began to wrap the beggar's chickens tightly one by one and put them in the charcoal fire.
About an hour later, the fragrant beggar's chicken was ready. Chu Yunning put it on and peeled it off one by one and called out "Xiao Bai".
After a while, the ferret jumped over, raised its paws and started eating. Chu Yunning said with a smile: "You eat slowly, as long as you can find someone."
The dozen or so beggar chickens ate most of the food. The ferret rubbed its belly and burped, then jumped on Chu Yunning's shoulder, indicating that it was ready to go.
Chu Yunning touched the ferret's fur: "It's getting more and more useful."
Ferret puffed up his chest and pointed in a direction with an arrogant look on his face. Chu Yunning chased after him with his secret guards.
