The courtiers closest to Chongyang Hou were so frightened that they took a few steps back.
"It's love Gu."
The fifth princess sitting on the seat on one side spoke.
"He and the young lady respectively ate the child and mother voodoo of the love voodoo, while the young lady ate the mother voodoo. Now the mother voodoo is dead."
The fifth princess raised her eyebrows and glanced at Luo Jiuli opposite, who was being comforted by Xiao Mingxuan in his arms.
She sneered. A woman who could prepare aqua regia still needed comfort in this situation?
"If the mother Gu dies, the child Gu will definitely die."
Marquis Chongyang, who fell to the ground, had changed at this time.
The body that had been convulsed suddenly straightened up, the eyes protruded, and the eye sockets were black and blue. Black blood was the first to flow out of the nostrils, followed by the corners of the eyes, ears, and mouth.
Very similar to some poisons, the seven orifices bleed to death.
Everything happened unexpectedly, from the time the fifth princess spoke to the death of Marquis Chongyang, it took no more than two minutes.
This also made Luo Jiuli feel the uncontrollability of Gu insects more intuitively.
At this moment, the cane punishment outside the door had stopped.
Luo Yuanliang had a knife on his waist, and the two imperial guards behind him dragged the spirit girl, who had been beaten to pieces and could only breathe, into the palace.
After all, he was worthy of being a tiger general. Looking at the corpse of Hu Hanyu, which was covered in ulcers and turned black, and the corpse of Marquis Chongyang, who was bleeding to death from his seven orifices.
Luo Yuanliang didn't even blink.
"Your Majesty, the spirit girl's punishment with the rod has been completed. Please give me your instructions."
The emperor's expression was not as shattered as everyone imagined.
"Imposed on death row, awaiting retribution."
"yes."
Luo Yuanliang waved at the two forbidden soldiers, who dragged the spirit girl's body out of the side hall.
The emperor glanced at the Queen Mother and seemed very satisfied with the Queen Mother's pale face and trembling hands.
He calmly withdrew his gaze, and then looked to the side of Prince Shan of Sangnan Kingdom.
"I made Prince Shan and the fifth princess laugh. Now that something like this has happened to the royal family, I'm afraid the marriage between the two countries will offend the fifth princess?"
There is something in the emperor's words, he is telling the fifth princess that if she wants to break off the engagement, she can do so.
When the fifth princess heard this, her face turned blue and white.
Prince Shan weighed it repeatedly in his mind, and finally bowed calmly:
"Your Majesty, I am serious. I am here with the five princesses for the sake of peace between the two countries, so there is no need to say that I am aggrieved."
"That's it."
The emperor heard what Prince Shan said.
"After I finish handling this matter, I can take care of the prince and the fifth princess."
Upon hearing this, Prince Shan realized that he was going to see off the guests, so he stood up and clasped his fists.
"Gu, resign."
The emperor looked at Prince Shan with a faint smile and called out coldly, "Luo Yuanliang."
"Wei Chen is here."
"You personally escort Prince Shan, the fifth princess, and the envoy from Sangnan Kingdom back to the Dianke Office without any mistakes."
"yes."
Luo Yuanliang looked at Prince Shan and saluted sideways.
"Prince, Fifth Princess, envoys, please."
At the same time, the imperial guards outside the palace lined up on both sides.
Prince Shan frowned, the fifth princess pointed her finger at the top of her brow, and the other Sangnan envoys also stood up.
When Sang Nanguo and his party left, all the princes, civil and military ministers present were nervous.
After the outsiders leave, it’s time to sort out household chores behind closed doors.
Sure enough, the emperor did not speak and looked at Xiao Mingxuan silently.
Xiao Mingxuan God understood this and looked at Qin Yin lightly.
Qin Yin nodded, took the accompanying guards, wrapped the bodies of Hu Hanyu and Chongyang Hou in carpets, and carried them out.
Immediately, another palace official carried water into the palace, wiped the blood on the floor as quickly as possible, and then hurriedly left.
The whole process was orderly and without delay.
Luo Jiuli didn't know what would happen next, but he saw that the clan ministers in the hall looked more serious than before.
He also began to anticipate in his heart that now that the Sangnan people have left, the emperor should concentrate on 'dealing' with the Queen Mother.
While she was thinking, a person suddenly walked in outside the hall.
I saw that the man was wearing a mask and black clothes, with a yellow auspicious cloud tattooed on his sleeve, a sword on his waist, and a yellow ribbon floating on the hilt of the sword.
Behind him, there were two people in the same attire, but the only difference between them was that they were not wearing masks, but they were escorting a woman with a sackcloth on her head into the temple.
Shadow Guard?
This was the second time Luo Jiuli saw the shadow guard.
The first time was when arresting Da Sima Hu Jue and his son.
So who are you arresting this time?
And who is that woman with the sackcloth on her head?
Luo Jiuli looked at the bloodless Queen Mother.
It must be related to the Queen Mother, right?
"See the Emperor."
The shadow guard knelt on the ground, his voice low.
"came back."
The emperor's voice was calm.
The masked shadow guard lowered his head and lowered his eyebrows, holding a piece of paper in his hands with a very respectful attitude.
"On the list, all the low-level officials have been captured and taken to the prison of the Sanfa Department to wait for the emperor's fate, but——"
The shadow guard lowered his eyes and glanced at the person behind him.
"This is the only person who, despite his humble position, doesn't know what to do with me. Please give me your Majesty's advice."
The emperor half-raised his eyelids and looked behind him.
"who?"
Just two words, more majestic.
The masked shadow guard took two steps back and reached out to take off the woman who was being escorted with the linen on her head.
"Oh my God! How could it be her?"
"She, isn't she dead?"
"Who says otherwise? Wasn't she burned to death in a nunnery on the outskirts of Beijing?"
When all the clan members and courtiers in the palace saw the woman, they were all shocked and started talking about her.
Even the Queen Mother and King Zhao, who was being helped up by the palace servants, had shock on their faces after seeing the woman.
All because that woman was none other than Hu Bingyu, the former eldest lady of the Hu family, who was rumored to have been burned to death in a nunnery.
Compared to the surprise of everyone in the hall, Luo Jiuli seemed particularly calm.
Hu Bingyu was not dead. She was brought back to the capital by Marquis Chongyang in exchange for a civet cat for the prince, and became Marquis Chongyang's bed-warmer. Xiao Mingxuan had told her about this early in the morning.
Xiao Mingxuan's original words at that time were that he wanted to raise this big fish again, and sooner or later he would have to kill her.
At that time, what she was thinking about most was...
The Marquis of Chongyang, the king of vegetarian food, was quite vegetarian. Here he was serving the Queen Mother, and there he was getting involved with Hu Bingyu. He was not afraid of indigestion for two generations.
It's better now. No one with indigestion has died. I'm afraid the only one left with real indigestion is the Queen Mother.
First there was Hu Hanyu, now there is Hu Bingyu.
I don’t know if the Queen Mother’s old heart can still bear it.
Just when Luo Jiuli was thinking a lot, the emperor's calm voice broke the silence of the clan and courtiers in the palace.
"Mother, I look at it. This woman looks very familiar!"
