Cao Xiwan decided to memorize these eighteen gestures and must try them on Liu Ruhai.
The master of Lichen Temple did not hide anything, saying that it was just a hypnotic medical technique. It could delay some diseases. It was also created by the daughter of a witch doctor from Chu who was an ancestor of the Liu family, and who married into the Liu family.
"So awesome." She thought to herself.
Is Liu Ruhai really not a person who burns incense and defrauds money? He uses the palace's invisibility and pretends to be a guest of the palace to deceive others. He is secretly the leader and messenger of some religion?
Witch doctors have always been used to deceive people and collect money. In the secret files of Jinyi Yamen, there are many major cases of such magic swindlers recorded in various places.
She had suspected that Liu Ruhai was from a sect before.
Now I can't help but feel even more suspicious.
"Mrs. Cao, don't worry, they woke up right after sleeping." The temple owner checked the pulses of Shuangtian and Xiao Qiao and said with a smile. She was finally relieved.
She came to discuss setting up a village, and the old lady and other ladies came to rest when they passed by. Last time, she didn't see the master when he entered the palace. This time, he came out to socialize, and while they were chatting and discussing the price, she noticed the hidden secret.
The surname of the temple owner is Gu.
She originally thought that the temple owner should have an old friendship with Liu Chengyuanbai, a famous doctor in the north. He was one of these four surnames. Otherwise, how could he have anything to do with Liu Ruhai.
The Gu and Liu families were obviously related. She was clearly aware that Liu Ruhai wanted to protect Dr. Gu in the palace wall. She did not grab the pills from the boy's hand.
After placing the deposit, she said goodbye and left.
"Donor Cao."
"Yes?" She turned around and saw a little Taoist priest chasing him to the temple gate and handing her a book, "Our temple master gave it to you."
She took it in confusion and saw that the book said "Tai Shang Qing Jing"
"..."
"Our Guanzhu said that Donor Cao can recite sutras at home."
Sure enough, she had been deceived by Master Miaolian before, saying that practicing Buddhism could cure diseases, and now the Taoist priests also lied to her.
After Xiao Qiao woke up, everything was as usual. She found that Xiao Qiao and Xiaoshuang didn't remember falling asleep at all. She secretly rejoiced that she had learned a very useful little trick. Xiao Qiao led the horse over in front of the gate and was still talking to herself, "
Sister Xiaowan, isn’t your illness something that Father Gu has seen?”
In fact, it was not Gu Yuanjing who treated her.
She said goodbye to the two of them and made an appointment to have a drink together in the evening. She went out to watch a donkey ride and returned to the city all the way. Then she went to Gu's house.
Gu Yuyi's grandfather and Gu Yuanpan's biological father were seventy years old and of the same generation as Master Miaolian. The old man, with his snow-white beard and hair, was sitting in a lounge chair, eating tea under the locust tree in the backyard.
She walked over and sat down.
She wanted to ask about the Liu family's hypnosis.
The old man slept for a while, then woke up, raised his hand to check her pulse: "She is indeed better, don't think about it anymore... If you can't take care of yourself, go and give your parents an adopted son as soon as possible."
Brother, this is the serious business."
"..." I really want to beat Mr. Gu to death. I won't pick up any pot.
But she could only hold her nose and respond. She placed a lacquered box of fine pearls with a smile, asking the old man not to dislike it.
"Don't come here again next time. I'm old and tired."
"...It's my fault." She hesitated whether to kowtow quickly and apologize, hoping to do it again next time.
However, the old man fell asleep.
"..." She didn't have time to ask anything.
A box of pearls for free! Big beads!
She had no choice but to withdraw and thought painfully, asking the retired imperial doctor Gu to check her pulse once would cost a thousand taels.
In this comparison, it doesn't seem to matter whether Liu Ruhai, who always diagnoses her pulse for free, is a spy.
She has never put her life in the hands of one person. With Mr. Gu, Master Miaolian, Chen Ming, and Liu Ruhai, this is naturally more stable.
When she arrived at the second door, she grabbed the young doctor Gu and asked, "Is your family married to a famous northern medical family?"
"...Yes." Doctor Gu secretly cried out that he was unlucky and could only laugh, "What do you want Madam Qing to do?"
"Liu Ruhai and you?"
"My cousin."
"Liu Ruhai, is he the eunuch sent by Emperor Taizu to the palace in the north?" She grabbed him under the wall and inquired quietly, then thought about it again, "Is he specialized in the thankless heavy work of spying on the prince?
, hard work?" Maybe he is a poor eunuch who endures humiliation and heavy burdens. Especially his ability to hypnotize people is really very convenient for spies.
Historically, the eunuchs used in various princes' palaces were reported to the capital by the vassal kings. His Majesty ordered the eunuchs in the palace to appoint eunuchs and reward them to the princes' palaces in various places.
These eunuchs, like the two to three hundred Jinyi captains sent by Jinyiwei, secretly monitor the palace.
"Spying on the palace? This... this... probably, maybe, should be?" Gu Yuyi was trembling with fear, with an expression on his face that said, Qing Niang, whatever you want me to say, I will definitely accuse you of betraying my cousin.
It's not a problem at all for good people.
"Is he a eunuch?"
"Qing Niangzi said yes, that is." He replied decisively.
She could see that Dr. Gu was afraid of her, so she said sadly: "I didn't bully you."
"Yes, yes, of course not..."
"Don't complain to your grandfather."
"Absolutely not."
She let go of her hand, straightened his clothes, turned around to leave, but suddenly turned her head and quickly made eighteen gestures, and with a bang, the unlucky Dr. Gu fell down and fell asleep.
"Not good! The young master fainted!"
She quickly called for help.
Gu Yuanpan rushed back from the Yamen, but he was helpless. He could only alert Mr. Gu to check the eldest grandson's pulse in person, and said a few words vaguely: "It's okay, he's just asleep. This is him and Liu Liu discussing the family medical skills."
She overheard it at Gu's house and quickly ran away. Sure enough, it was Liu Xiaozi who was plotting against her.
She returned to the Hou Mansion, and without having time to see the second manager, she went straight to Luoyuan, ready to let Liu Ruhai know how powerful she was.
But the second manager came to her directly:
"There is news in the palace. Liang Di has summoned you. You must enter the palace immediately."
The prince wanted to send the Buddha statue back, so he gave a message and asked Cao Xiwan to go to the palace to get it in person.
This time she entered the palace through the passage between the palace walls. Female officer Bai met her outside the secret door and said, "Niu Zijin is here, in the waiter's room."
She looked at Aunt Bai with admiration. This was really resolute.
Mother Bai specially called Eunuch Xiaoniu to the East Palace so that she could take a peek.
Isn't this more useful than a portrait?
She smiled reservedly and was confident that she could definitely see the true face of the dead eunuch.
She looked at it in shock. Niu Zijin was not Liu Ruhai at all. She rubbed her eyes again and looked hard.
This man has small eyes and a yellow face. He is clearly in his twenties and looks like he is in his forties.
Sure enough, he looks like a eunuch who was born as a Taoist priest.
"Him?" she blurted out.
"Yes. What's wrong?" Female Officer Bai asked in confusion.
Cao Xiwan instantly realized that there was a problem. There was a very big and troublesome problem.
But she closed her eyes.
Breathe in and out gently.
This is not something that can be solved with just a little fascination. For Liu Ruhai to do this, he not only needs to get several big players to be tricked, but he must also have a way to get dozens of people in front of the imperial court at the same time.
People get tricked together.
impossible.
She had never heard of such Kung Fu.
"Don't care, don't care." She said silently in her heart.
Ever since she got sick, she had to comfort herself like this. She also wanted to live longer and take better care of her body. The big bosses in the palace are not vegetarians, and the female officials are fierce and powerful. Sooner or later, problems will be discovered. She can't do anything wrong.
.
With this thought in mind, she kindly followed Lady Bai into the corridor room to meet with Eunuch Maverick.
