"Little sister, on my way back from the house just now, I heard something from your brother-in-law."
Luo Jiuqing took Luo Jiuli's hand and asked her to sit next to him.
"What's up?"
Luo Jiuqing said:
"I heard from your brother-in-law that in the middle of the night last night, the spy Yan Tinglian was dying in the Criminal Department and almost died. The Nine Kings sent someone to pour longevity soup into her, dragging her for half her life."
"Your Majesty, you also found the ghost doctor Hua Lanzhou, who cured the poison and charm spells on King Zhao."
Luo Jiuli smiled coldly.
"Your Majesty, after all, you still feel sorry for your son."
"Jiu'er."
The Duke's wife was a little worried.
"Don't worry, mother. I'm just sighing. Under the imperial power, even a powerful family like ours depends on the emperor's face. You can imagine how ordinary people will live when they encounter injustice.
.”
On the side, Luo Yuanjia's eyes darkened.
"It is precisely because a powerful family like ours cannot do things without scruples."
"Well, I understand everything the second brother said."
Luo Jiuli nodded.
Under imperial power, if the king wants his subjects to die, they will have to die.
What's more, she is already the first person in this era who is unprecedented in history and can reconcile with the emperor's son.
The success of her reconciliation was largely due to the push from the Nine Kings.
Her identity as the concubine of the Duke of Yiguo also accounts for a large part of the reason.
Therefore, she is content, very content.
"However, I don't understand. What is longevity soup?"
"Didn't you say that Yan Tinglian was dying? How could she survive after drinking the longevity soup?"
On the side, Luo Yuanjia explained:
"The Immortality Decoction will not keep her alive, but will temporarily delay her lifespan for a day. It is a rejuvenating decoction that can only be used by the palace to punish concubines and those who are near death."
"Reflection?"
Luo Jiuli seemed to understand.
Luo Yuanjia nodded.
"This kind of decoction can allow a person to survive for a day with only one breath left. After a day, all the internal organs are damaged, and finally the whole body is in severe pain, and the person vomits blood and dies."
"What's even more frightening is that people who drink the longevity soup can clearly feel the sound of bones breaking in their bodies after the longevity soup expires."
Luo Jiuli didn't need to see Yan Tinglian's tragic situation to know that Yan Tinglian would definitely be worse off than dead at the last moment.
"What about Hua Lanzhou? Who is Hua Lanzhou? What King Zhao fell in love with is the love charm and the magic of charm. Ordinary doctors must not be able to catch the eye of the emperor, right? This Hua Lanzhou must have its own uniqueness."
Luo Jiuqing shook his head.
"I have only heard your brother-in-law talk about this person, but I don't know much about him."
"Where is the second brother? Do you know Hua Lanzhou? A ghost doctor? His medical skills must be very good?"
Luo Yuanjia shook his head.
"I don't know whether his medical skills are good or not, but I heard that his life experience is very complicated."
"I heard that his mother is a Gu girl from the Sangnan Kingdom, and his father is from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He was born in the Changning Dynasty and grew up in the Bahrain Kingdom."
"Hua Lanzhou is not only good at poison poisoning and medical skills, but he also understands the most mysterious spells in Bahrain. However, this person has a strange temperament, is lonely, walks alone in the world, and is very evil."
"If this time it was not for Prince Zhao, the royal family would not want to interact with such evil people in the world."
After hearing the word "spell", Luo Jiuli's heart suddenly flashed and his expression suddenly changed.
"Second brother, what did you say? That ghost doctor Hua Lanzhou knows spells?"
Luo Yuanjia nodded and said doubtfully.
"Is it strange? He grew up in the country of Bahrain, and the royal family of Bahrain are the ones with the strongest spells."
"The Kingdom of Bahrain, the Royal Family of Bahrain, the spell."
Luo Jiuli felt that he seemed to be getting closer and closer to some truths.
She even suddenly came up with the idea that if Hualan Zhou could lift the spell on Xiao Mingxuan, she would trade it for anything, even her life.
When she thought of this idea, she was shocked and frightened by this idea. At this moment, she faced her feelings towards Xiao Mingxuan.
"Mom, eldest sister, second brother, I'll go out for a while and I'll be back soon."
With that said, he got up and ran out in a hurry.
"Jiu'er."
"Little sister, why are you going?"
Before the Duke's wife and Luo Jiuqing understood the reason, Luo Jiuli had already disappeared outside the courtyard.
Luo Yuanjia was also confused.
"Mom, eldest sister, don't worry, I'll go take a look."
After saying that, he stood up and left the yard.
After leaving the mansion, Luo Jiuli found the coachman, reported his address, and drove straight away.
After all, Luo Yuanjia was a step too late. He ran to the door of the house and saw the carriage disappearing at the entrance of the alley. He looked at the gatekeeper.
"Where did the second lady go?"
The gatekeeper shook his head.
How could he tell a servant about the whereabouts of the second young lady?
On this side of the carriage, Luo Jiuli's carriage went straight to the Nine Princes' Mansion.
After getting off the carriage, the guard guarding the door of the mansion saw Luo Jiuli.
"Second Miss, why are you here?"
"Where is the prince?"
When the gatekeeper heard this, he realized that the second lady was still worried about the prince's condition and said hurriedly:
"Your Majesty has just returned to his residence. Second Miss, please come in."
Luo Jiuli didn't waste any time and entered the Nine Prince's Mansion all the way.
Before entering the second courtyard, I saw the butler of the palace coming towards me.
As soon as the housekeeper saw Luo Jiuli, his eyes and actions were surprisingly consistent with those of the gatekeeper.
"Hey, the second lady is here."
"Where is the prince?"
Luo Jiuli doesn't talk nonsense either.
"The prince is in the study. I will take the second young lady over."
"good."
The two of them went to the study one after another.
In the study room at this time, Xiao Mingxuan was reviewing the military records.
Outside the door, someone opened the door and walked in.
"What's the matter?"
The voice was cold, distant and a little majestic.
No one answered, Xiao Mingxuan raised his head with a frown.
It didn't matter what he saw, he was stunned at the moment.
"Luo Jiuli, why are you here?"
Yes, the person in front of me is Luo Jiuli.
Perhaps because she was running so fast, her face was slightly red at this time, and there were thin beads of sweat on her forehead. She was breathing lightly, and her chest was heaving.
Xiao Mingxuan's eyebrows moved slightly and he licked the corners of his suddenly dry lips.
He put down the fold, stood up, walked up to her, and held her hand. His movements were all in one go and extremely coherent.
"Why are you here? Is there something urgent? Did you run in?"
It was more than a thousand times gentler than the cold, distant voice just now.
Luo Jiuli breathed out softly, and for the first time in a sober state, he held his hand back.
"Your Majesty, Hua Lanzhou's mother is a voodoo girl from the Sangnan Kingdom, and her father is from the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He was born in the Changning Dynasty and grew up in the Bahrain Kingdom. So not only does he know poison and medical skills, but he also understands the most mysterious spells in the Bahrain Kingdom?
Yeah?"
Xiao Mingxuan was startled.
"So, is this why you came here in such a hurry?"
Luo Jiuli nodded.
"Well, the curse, can Hua Lanzhou break the prince's curse? If he can break the prince's curse, then the prince will never have to suffer the torture of the curse from now on."
