After the hero goes crazy

Chapter 258 Who gave birth to

"what?"

Nanny Shi was talking enthusiastically, but she was interrupted suddenly, and she couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Who was born to the prince who succeeded Taizu's throne later?" Yao Shouning asked again seeing Nanny Shi's puzzled face.

In fact, she also asked this question casually, and she didn't know why she was curious.

It wasn't until she asked the question that she really developed a heart to explore.

Yup!

Since ancient times, there have been many rumors about the Taizu, including how he obtained thaumaturgy from heaven and killed evil spirits, and how he established the country and established Daqing.

All sorts of rumors gave rise to countless strange or fantasy stories, but when Yao Shouning thought about it carefully, it seemed that there was no record about his harem.

"Which concubines did Taizu marry? Who was the mother of the crown prince?"

"..." Her question seemed to stump Madam Shi, and she seemed to think for a while before she said in distress:
"Maybe it's a woman left behind in the previous palace?"

When the demons were in chaos, the common people were living in dire straits, but the nobles were still living in luxury.

At that time, even the rich and powerful raised young men and women who had been parasitized by evil spirits for pleasure, and the emperor in the palace also had countless concubines.

"After the founding of the country by Taizu, there were no fewer than 700 female officials released from the palace." This is a very astonishing number, even in the 4000 years since the founding of Daqing, no matter how lewd and innocent the monarch was, there were many women in the palace. , but only [-] people.

"According to the records, Taizu didn't formally marry a wife and establish a country." Madam Shi guessed:

"It should be because I was busy with important affairs and missed myself. In the end, I took the woman in the palace as my concubine and gave birth to an heir."

Yao Shouning nodded, and felt that this guess was the closest to the truth.

It's just that intellectually, although she thinks what Shi Mama said is good, she feels a little uneasy in her heart, but after thinking about it, she really can't figure out where the weirdness lies.

He also asked Nanny Shi about the people around Taizu in detail, asked about the family history of these people, and the biographies of the characters, and even disrespectfully doubted the ancestor of the Bianji clan who followed Taizu back then— —

It's a pity that although Madam Shi is somewhat knowledgeable, the questions Yao Shouning asked were too tricky, and her knowledge was still limited, so she couldn't answer most of the questions.

Seeing the girl's disappointed expression, Mammy Shi felt guilty, so she promised her to improve her knowledge after she went back, and if she found any news, she would tell her the next time we met.

Chatting along the way, the time passed quickly, the carriage went around the gate full of kneeling students who came to pay homage, and when it stopped at the back gate of Yao's house, Yao Shouning was still a little reluctant:

"Mother, remember to check it for me when I go back."

"Miss Shouning, don't worry, I remember all the questions you asked. I'll check it out when I get back. If I can't find it, I'll ask the princess and the general."

Nanny Shi nodded in response to her, and Yao Shouning was relieved.

When she got out of the carriage, Mammy Shi saw her enter the house after the servants of the Yao family opened the door, so she was relieved to turn the carriage around and prepare to go back to report.

After Yao Shouning returned home, he was about to meet his mother first, but was stopped by his own little maid in front of the Liu's courtyard.

"Miss."

Mong Kui has been waiting in front of Liu's gate for more than half an hour.

Today Yao's family went to the General's Mansion to express their condolences, but because of the limited number of carriages, Dong Kui and others could not go with them.

When Liu Shi and others came back, their expressions were full of surprise, Miss Biao was unconscious, and Liu Bingzhou seemed to be pale.
From the words of the people, Dong Kui seemed to hear that a major event had happened in the General's Mansion, and that evil spirits appeared again.

The dead son seemed to come back to life, and went crazy, making a scene in the mourning hall, and Su Miaozhen was also attacked by evil spirits...

All kinds of incidents made Mallow feel like a cat scratching her heart, and she was extremely curious.

But Fengchun and the others who had a good relationship with her also didn't go like her, but Mammy Cao did go, but her words were tight.

For some reason, Yao Shouning, who got along day and night, stayed in the general's mansion and did not come back, causing Dong Kui to scratch his head, and secretly hid outside Liu's house until finally Yao Shouning arrived.

"You are back!"

Mallow pulls Yao Shouning:

"What happened in the General's Mansion today? The wife said that the son came back from the dead? Miss Cousin was possessed by an evil spirit? I think the expression on Mr.'s face is a little strange, did you punish evil spirits in the General's Mansion?"

She threw out several questions in a row, Yao Shouning took a look inside the room, and heard that the room was in a mess, the door was open, and there seemed to be several people around the door.

"What is my mother up to?"

"Miss Biao is in a coma. Madam invited the doctor over, and then asked the uncle to go out to Qingfeng Temple to invite Taoist priests, saying that he would perform rituals at night."

Dong Kui also knew that if she didn't reassure Yao Shouning first, she might not have the patience to talk to herself, so she roughly talked about what happened after Liu's return:
"...Mr. has already returned to his room. Eldest Young Master and Uncle Chao Ping are taking care of him."

"Where's my sister?" Yao Shouning asked again.

"We're all in the room, waiting for Miss Biao to wake up." Dong Kui pouted, answered, and silently urged Yao Shouning to continue.

"Alas." Yao Shouning felt relieved when he heard that his family was safe for the time being, and then he thought of what happened today, and felt a headache. He rubbed the center of his brows, and then said:

"it is true!"

"What?" Dong Kui's eyes widened, and Yao Shouning said quickly:

"The son came back from the dead, my cousin was bewitched by an evil spirit, and my grandfather exorcised the evil. It's all true!"

After she finished speaking, she lifted her skirt and stepped into the atrium.

"But--"

Dong Kui had just listened to the general idea before, but when she got Yao Shouning's response, she was shocked and curious at the same time.

It's a pity that it's not the time for her to ask questions. Yao Shouning entered the inner court and saw Yao Wanning in the room.

She stood beside Liu Shi, and behind her stood a tall and silent figure, which surrounded her and almost supported her to move forward.

"..."

Yao Shouning's eyes were a little sore, he forcibly endured the uneasiness in his heart, and called out loudly:
"elder sister."

Yao Wanning turned her head when she heard the sound, and the figure of the "River God" who 'carried' her in his arms also turned her head, staring at Yao Shouning with a pair of silver eyes.

Although he knew that the 'River God' in front of him was probably just a wisp of soul, Yao Shouning couldn't help feeling tense when he saw that gaze.

When she hadn't opened her eyes, the 'river god' was probably staring at her every time she talked to her sister. In the eyes of this demon shadow, it was probably the same as before, and the 'it' might not even know that she had Discover the existence of 'it'.

When Yao Shouning was feeling uneasy, Yao Wanning had already got up and came out. Seeing her sister coming back, she asked her:
"Why did you come back so soon? Is the son better?"

Because of Su Miaozhen's accident, Liu Bingzhou was a little bit wrong, so the Yao family left after seeing that the son was no longer mad, and did not see the son sober.

"I was a little worried about my family, so I came back first. The prince has returned to normal."

When she said this, she glanced into the room:
"Why are there so many people here?"

The servants of the family seemed to be gathered in the main hall, and Zheng Shi held a stick in his hand, looking like he was ready for battle.

Yao Wanning also took a look into the room, and pulled her younger sister to a quiet place with few people to talk:
"Didn't Miaozhen bump into Xie Chong again, she hasn't woken up yet—"

She took a deep look at Yao Shouning, and then said:
"Father wanted to find a Taoist priest to drive her away, but he was afraid that she would wake up suddenly, so he invited more people to come over to town."

That day, Liu Bingzhou forced out the demonic snake from Su Miaozhen's body, causing great commotion and shocking the entire city of God. Many people in the Yao family thought that the evil spirits on Su Miaozhen's body were gone.

But today in the "Mourning Hall" of the eldest son, after Su Miaozhen appeared, Lu Zhi came back from the dead, and then spoke nonsense, even if he was as dull as Liu Shi, he also realized that there was something wrong with Su Miaozhen.

Afterwards Liu Bingzhou said he was silent, but after the eldest princess took the big yellow dog into his hands, the dog was injured strangely, then Liu Bingzhou turned pale, Su Miaozhen vomited blood and fell into a coma, and the eldest son who was talking crazily before was quiet immediately.

All these situations show that the son's madness may have something to do with Su Miaozhen.

"Mother is a little worried. I don't know if the eldest princess will blame us."

"No." Yao Shouning shook his head, and the two sisters met their eyes, and they knew it.

Yao Wanning breathed a sigh of relief:
"That's good."

After she finished speaking, she asked again in a low voice:

"You said, has the evil in Miaozhen's body really been completely expelled?"

Although there is no demon on Su Miaozhen's body in the mourning hall today, it doesn't look as big as the riot that day in the Yao family, but after Su Miaozhen vomited blood, the son's madness stopped immediately, and what Liu Bingzhou said, it seems that the demon has been captured Complete removal.

But I don't know if they are also trapped by evil spirits, Yao Wanning always feels that this matter is not so easy to settle.

"I don't know." Yao Shouning shook his head, hesitated, and said honestly:
"It may not be completely wiped out, and it is very likely to find another possessed body."

As Liu Bingzhou said, the fox king who possesses Su Miaozhen has nine tails.

Back then Taizu could not completely kill it, and today Liu Bingzhou may not be able to completely eliminate it.

The two sisters were relatively speechless. After a while, Yao Shouning broke the silence:

"you--"

She looked at her sister, forcing her eyes not to look behind her, for fear of attracting the attention of the 'River God'.

"What's the matter?" Seeing that she hesitated to speak, Yao Wanning couldn't help asking with concern, as if something was wrong with her expression.

"Sister, since you drank the medicine, have you ever felt the existence of the 'River God'?"

After she finished speaking, she added:
"I mean, since the demon has branded you, is it possible that he has been hiding by your side? Like, like the case of my cousin?"

As soon as Yao Shouning's words fell, Yao Wanning's body trembled and her complexion was snow-white.

She didn't even need to speak, Yao Shouning had already seen the clue from the expression on her face.

It seems that she should also be aware of the existence of the 'River God'.

Thinking of the day when she and Lu Zhi explored the King's Underground Palace, she felt uneasy, and always felt that the 'River God' would appear again, and she took precautions in the middle of the night, but she didn't know that this evil spirit was following her sister.

"Don't worry, I made an agreement with the son. When he recovers from his injuries, we will visit the mausoleum again and we will be able to find out the identity of the 'River God'!"

Yao Wanning's thoughts were still on the 'evil spirit' she had inadvertently said, her eye circles were reddish, her mood seemed extremely depressed, and she only responded lightly when she heard the words.

The two sisters talked and went back to the house, Su Miaozhen was still not awake at the moment, she was temporarily placed on a soft couch in the west chamber by Mrs. Liu.

The doctor who used to see Yao Wanning was taking her pulse at this time, with a serious expression on his face.

When Yao Shouning came in, Mrs. Liu was so worried that she didn't have time to talk to her, so she just motioned her daughter to find a place to sit for a while.

She didn't bother Mrs. Liu, but avoided everyone and looked at Su Miaozhen——

After seeing this, he was surprised.

"Hiss!" She gasped!
Back then at the General's Mansion, there were too many things to do, Yao Shouning only opened his eyes again, and only knew that the demon shadow behind Su Miaozhen had disappeared without a trace, but because his cousin was hugged by his mother, he didn't have time to look closely at her face.

At this moment, when he looked at her carefully, he found something strange.

When Yao Shouning just entered the room, he thought that Su Miao really couldn't afford to pretend to be dizzy, and tried to escape.

But when I saw her now, I realized that something might have happened to her.

At this time, Su Miaozhen's cheeks and forehead were covered with dense red hair, her lips were black and purple, and two sharp fangs protruded from the skin of her mouth, looming.

Her appearance was clearly not the phantom Yao Shouning had seen before, as if her body had turned into a monster.

But the strange thing is that Madam Cao, Mrs. Liu, and the invited doctor and others seemed to be unaware of it.

She turned her head to look at Yao Wanning, Yao Wanning's gaze fell on Su Miaozhen, noticed her sister's gaze, and asked:
"What's wrong?"

"...It's okay." Yao Shouning shook his head, seeing his sister's expression, he knew that she couldn't see that Su Miao was really weird.

At this time, Su Miaozhen has already turned into a semi-demon, but for some reason, the people around can't see the clue.

She had a premonition that the fox king would not die easily, but she did not expect that Su Miaozhen would turn into a half-demon.

Yao Shouning's breathing sound caught Liu Shi's attention, she collected herself, suppressed the shock she received from seeing Su Miaozhen's face, and stood aside pretending to be nonchalant.

……

On the other side, when Lady Shi sent Yao Shouning back to the General's Mansion, the Eldest Princess had already sent away those who came to express their condolences, and was discussing matters with her husband, son, Xu Xiangyi and others.

Seeing Mrs. Shi coming back, she asked casually:
"Have you sent Shouning home?"

Officer Shi nodded and responded:
"I saw her enter the house with my own eyes."

After finishing speaking, she briefly explained what happened on the road. The eldest princess was a little surprised when Yao Shouning asked about Taizu's life, and continued:
"The demon king may not be dead. Shouning told me one thing today. When my junior brother was killing demons, he mentioned that Daqing Shenqi 29 years killed demons."

It is impossible to make mistakes in the words of the Great Confucianism.

At that time, in order to appease Yao Shouning, she pretended not to take this matter to heart, but now she said it out, trying to make her husband and son feel confident.

"I suspect that my junior brother has other plans..."

Lu Zhi listened to his parents' discussion, but his mind was already far away.

He remembered that when he was talking to Yao Shouning today, he inadvertently asked about her birthday, and she mentioned that there are still two days left.

She is already sixteen...

Shizi was wondering awkwardly: Do I want to give her any gift?

……

Yao Shouning didn't know what was happening in the General's Mansion at this time.

In the evening, Yao Hui came back from Qingfeng Temple and said that he had already made an appointment with Qingfeng Temple, and the ceremony was scheduled for the day after tomorrow.

Since the appearance of evil spirits, the common people in the world are very afraid, and the Taoist temple, which was originally very popular, has been so busy recently that it can't spare any manpower.

If he didn't know that there was a great Confucian in the Yao family, he wouldn't be able to invite him even in the future.

When Liu Shi heard this time, she looked a little guilty - the day after tomorrow is Yao Shouning's 16th birthday.

The 16th birthday is a big day for a girl. If these things hadn't happened, perhaps during Yao Shouning's birthday, the Liu family would have borrowed a few servants, tables and chairs from the Wen family as planned. Friends take a few seats.

The two families of Wen and Yao will get closer and put Wen Jingsui's marriage with Yao Shouning on the agenda...

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

The evil spirit had already appeared, and Yao Shouning's birthday party could only be postponed temporarily.

Looking at her daughter's face, Mrs. Liu thought with guilt in her heart: When the [-]th next year, we must hold a big event to make up for my little daughter.

Su Miaozhen did not wake up.

Logically speaking, the evil spirit in her body has been 'killed' by Liu Bingzhou, and the doctor also took her pulse, saying that her pulse was stable, maybe it was affected by the evil spirit, that's why she kept falling asleep.

Liu looked at her niece and did not dare to close her eyes for several days.

She was worried that something might happen to Su Miaozhen, she was afraid of being sorry for her deceased sister, and she was afraid of being condemned by Su Wenfang.

The atmosphere in the Yao family was very tense, and the two days passed in a flash.

…………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

The following small theater.

Since the son came back from the dead, he was a little melancholy.

There are rumors in the world: he confessed his love to Su Miaozhen after he went crazy, so he angered Yao Shouning and knelt down to Miss Yao in front of the mourning hall.

Lu Zhi: ... (I don't, I'm not, don't talk nonsense! I just have weak legs!)
