Chapter 273 Gu

"Brother, don't go, let me hug you for a while." Qian Mingzhu rested her head on her shoulder in peace, and murmured, "I hope the dream won't wake up."

Qian Tianyi, who was about to push him away, put his hand down when he heard the words uttered in a voice as small as a mosquito.

Did his leaving cast such a huge shadow on him?
In the midst of hastily clearing up the mess, this scene of the two brothers embracing each other is particularly abrupt, but it is also enviable.

This sudden disaster has left countless families ruined, wives and children separated, and those who can still be with their families are all lucky.

After a long while, Qian Tianyi suddenly felt a sinking on his shoulders, as if all the strength of his head was pressed on it.

"Fourth brother?"

He tried to call out, but didn't hear any echo.

"Fourth brother, wake up." Qian Tianyi's tone became a little anxious.

"Brother Qian, let me take him back first." Jing Xu stepped forward.

In the current situation, he really couldn't walk away, so he nodded: "I'm sorry."

Qian Tianyi stood at the gate of the city, looking at the city that was stained red with blood under the warm sunlight.

He looked a little dazed.

Everything in the past is still like yesterday, bit by bit, all engraved in my mind.

In just a short period of time, earth-shaking changes have taken place in this imperial city.

When I left, it was still a bustling scene; but when I came back, it had already turned into the desolation and depression it is now.
-
The imperial palace, the Golden Luan Hall.

"The common people gathered to riot and shouted slogans to be unified. What do you think about this matter?" Xia Feng looked at the officials with a blank expression.

"Reporting to the emperor, I think that the people are not talking nonsense. The auspicious princess is full of evil spirits, which is obvious to all.

"After this incident in the imperial city, the entire city suffered heavy losses. Many relatives died today, and good families were also torn apart. Under such circumstances, seeing Princess Xiangrui's appearance, one would regard her as a Demons and evils can be regarded as excusable."

Mingzhuo, the servant of the Ministry of Officials, said sternly.

"Oh?" Xia Feng narrowed his eyes slightly, "According to Ming Aiqing, how should we deal with this matter?"

Mingzhuo: "Princess Xiangrui has done a lot of good work in saving her, but she is a monster and it is not just empty words. The evil blackness around her body is the best proof. It is hard to guarantee that she will not lose her mind in the future. create a threat.

"I think that her merits are outweighed and her crimes are not fatal. The best way is to take her title and expel her from Tianqi territory."

"It's good that the merit is not worth it, and the crime does not lead to death!" General Guan Zhen sneered, "Did Lord Ming forget one thing, if Princess Xiangrui hadn't broken the formation, where would we be now?
"Without her Princess Xiangrui, it is still unknown whether we are alive or dead. In your eyes, she is the one who saved the lives of the whole city, but her contribution is not worth it?"

Mingzhuo: "The general misunderstood the meaning of the minister, and the humble minister did not deny her merits, but her existence, as far as Tianqi is concerned, danger also exists. If it were not for her meritorious service in saving him, the evil person at this moment would be dead." It should be executed in public, not expelled."

Guan Zhen: "Master Ming has an evil person on the left and an evil person on the right. I would like to ask, has Princess Xiangrui ever hurt innocent people?"

Mingzhuo choked for a moment, but still argued hard: "Not now, it doesn't mean there won't be in the future, Wei Chen is taking precautions before they happen."

Guan Zhen: "Since it's something that hasn't happened, how can Master Ming be so sure? Could it be that you can still see the future?"

Knowing that he was no match for such eloquent people, Mingzhuo shifted his gaze to the emperor, and said respectfully:

"Your Majesty, this humble minister is loyal to Tian Qi, and that Princess Xiangrui has an unidentified and evil aura all over her body, which makes people feel frightened when they see him. If this person is left behind, it may cause turmoil in the country.

"Please look at the wishes and voices of the people, Your Majesty, and give them a stable country!"

"Speaking of the common people, I have something to say. I wonder if the emperor would like to hear it?" Gu Sheng, the head of the Gu family, said suddenly.

Xia Feng: "Patriarch Gu, but it's okay to say."

Gu Sheng stroked his chin:
"I have observed these people who participated in the shouting. Their expressions are dull, their expressions are indignant, and their voices are neat. They don't seem to be spontaneous, but more like they are putting pressure on the royal family in an organized and disciplined manner.

"And the movements and voices are too neat and unified. This is very similar to the scene I encountered when I was traveling. Its symptoms seem to be poisoned."

"It's just a fantasy to let the people in the whole city be infected by the Gu." Ming Zhuo made it clear that he didn't believe this statement.

In his opinion, this is just an excuse to justify the evil spirit.

"Father, my son has something to play." Xia Xuan suddenly appeared at the door of the main hall and shouted loudly.

Xia Feng: "Come in."

With a pale face, Xia Xuan approached slowly with the support of his attendants, then knelt down to pay his respects.

Xia Feng: "Get up."

Xia Xuan: "Father, I found that there was something wrong with the people who shouted to punish evil spirits, so I decided to take one of them back, and found that this person was controlled by Gu insects.

"Please allow the emperor to bring this person up."

Xia Feng: "Sure."

After the words fell, a man dressed in common people's clothes was brought into the hall, followed by a girl dressed in a foreign land.

"Father, this girl, Zhu, comes from the frontier. When I first arrived in the imperial city, I found that the people in the city were strange. My son just happened to meet." Xia Xuan took the initiative to explain.

Xia Feng nodded: "Let's start."

Zhu Wan took out the pre-prepared Gu-inducing incense and put it on the breath of the sleeping person.

A quarter of an hour passed, and a tiny red bug crawled out of his breath.

Zhu Wan quickly put this thing into the bottle prepared in advance.

Then, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty saw the thing violently running around in the bottle, and within a moment, it exploded, leaving only a puddle of blood in the bottle.

"My Majesty, this Gu is a relatively common Gu that can easily control people's mind and spirit. They can survive for 49 days after entering the human body, after which the person caught by the Gu will explode and die just like this Gu insect.

"Based on my observation, most of the people outside have fallen into this gu."

"Bewitching words!" Mingzhuo sneered, "Where did you find this charlatan? His Royal Highness Fifth Prince, do you know what you are doing?"

Xia Xuan had been prepared for a long time, but he didn't understand his doubts. Instead, he would face Xia Feng and say:

"Father, if you don't believe me, you can ask someone to bring someone here immediately."

"Bring some of those people who are shouting to kill evil spirits." Xia Feng ordered.

Ming Zhuo: "Your Majesty, you can actually believe such absurd words."

Xia Feng: "It's better to believe what is there than to believe what is not. What is the meaning of Ming Aiqing's obstruction of my investigation of the truth?"

"Please learn from the emperor, I am loyal to the emperor, and I have never had any selfishness." Mingzhuo looked loyal.

Time for a cup of tea is over.

The imperial army brought ten people, all of whom were knocked unconscious due to the endless noise.

Zhu Wan ordered them to be placed in the center of the hall and lined up one by one.

She took out the incense for inducing Gu and put it on the breath of the most outsider.

Same time and action as before.

After an hour and a quarter of an hour passed, Zhu Wan stood up.

Seeing the red worms crawling out of the human body one after another, everyone felt a chill down their backs.

This thing is disgusting too.

For this scene, Xia Feng was no less shocked than the minister.

"Girl, what is the thing that induces Gu in your hand?"

Zhu Wan: "This is the Gu-inducing incense I prepared. If necessary, I can prepare more in the shortest possible time. With this incense, even doctors can induce Gu."

Xia Feng: "It's time to work, girl."

"Xuan'er, Miss Zhu will be entertained by you." He looked at his weak son and ordered.

Xia Xuan: "Your minister leads the decree."

Xia Feng: "Go."

After they retreated, the hall fell into a brief silence.

"Sheng Jian'an." Xia Feng interrupted the tranquility.

Sheng Jian'an took a step forward, holding a copy of the imperial decree in his hand, and read it seriously:
"By God's blessing, the emperor said. Today, the owner of Xiangrui County sacrificed his life for his meritorious deeds, so he retains his title. He is specially named the first-rank princess, enjoying food for thousands of households, ten thousand taels of gold, twenty pieces of silk and satin each, and ten pieces of Shu brocade." Horses, a box of emeralds and pearls, and a pair of Hetian jade. Here it is.”

With this imperial decree, the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were shocked.

Since ancient times, no princess can have this honor.

Even if it is a meritorious service in saving the car, it is too grand.

"Prime Minister Qian, accept the order." Sheng Jian'an reminded.

Qian Chengzhi took a step forward and knelt down to accept the order: "The minister accepts the order to thank you."

Sheng Jian'an walked down and handed over the imperial decree to him.

Qian Chengzhi got up and returned to the ranks of civil servants.

Xia Feng looked at Baiguan: "Does anyone think it's wrong with my will?"

"I have a question!" Mingzhuo came out, "Your majesty, this is really inappropriate. Since ancient times, no minister's daughter has ever been conferred the title of princess. Your disregard of the rules is really disrespectful to the former emperor." .”

Xia Feng narrowed his eyes and stared at him:
"Ming Aiqing, you seem to have some objections to my decision today. In your eyes, is my life not worth these things? You are loyal to Tianqi one by one, but you make my decision repeatedly. Negative, this is the loyalty you said?
"Who are you loyal to? Is it the Shen family who harmed Tianqi this time, or that evil animal who learned the evil art from somewhere?"

"Your Majesty, the one I am loyal to is naturally you." Ming Zhuo knelt down and said, "I cannot bear to see the Emperor being deceived by others, so I disregarded your wishes and risked my life to advise you."

"Ming Aiqing, look at these and think about what you said!" Xia Feng threw down the folder in his hand, "Come here, take down this rebellious party!"

"The emperor insists on this, so I have no choice but to—" He suddenly stood up and slammed into the pillar of the hall.

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Guan Zhen stopped him.
-
Prime Minister's House.

When Qian Mingzhu woke up, it was already dark.

He stood up abruptly, dragging the wound, gasping for breath in pain.

"Are you awake?" Jing Xu stepped forward to support him.

Qian Mingzhu grabbed her hand and said excitedly:
"Jing Xu, I saw my elder brother. He is not dead. Tell me that he is not dead. This is not a dream, right?"

Jing Xu's face was calm, and he patted his hand that was afraid of him: "You are not dreaming, Brother Qian is indeed still alive."

"Where is he?" Qian Mingzhu hurriedly asked.

Jing Xu: "The imperial city has just experienced a catastrophe, and he still has a lot of things to do. He is not in the prime minister's mansion right now."

"Brother, he—" Qian Mingzhu calmed down, "How did he become the leader of the imperial army?"

Jing Xu sat down and told the whole thing in detail.

Then Qian Mingzhu was silent for a long time before murmuring:
"So, you all know it, but you only keep it from me? Seeing me sad, sad, abandoning myself, and getting drunk all day long."

"It's because of your realistic interpretation that the other party really believed it." Jing Xu said.

Qian Mingzhu: "What about the third brother, did he also—"

Jing Xu: "The third young master is still alive. Although I don't know where he is, he is still in a certain corner of this world."

"I see." Qian Mingzhu said calmly, "Go out first, I want to be alone for a while."

Jing Xu: "Call me if you need something."

Qian Mingzhu: "Yes."

He lay on the bed, looking at the top of the tent absently.

The mood at the moment, there is happiness, but also the unknown discomfort.

All in all, it's complicated.
-
Happy Palace.

On the bed, the girl closed her eyes and fell asleep.

"My lord, it's been three days, why hasn't the princess woke up?" Lin Shun asked worriedly.

Xia Mochen: "She has been eroded by evil spirits too much. Although she is in the process of self-healing, the effect is very little."

Lin Shun: "How long will this take?"

Xia Mochen: "Maybe a few days, maybe a few months, maybe a few years. But—"

He looked at the girl who seemed to be sleeping peacefully: "If there are phoenix flowers, the problem can be completely solved."

"You..." Lin Shun looked at him suspiciously, "You don't want to go to Chifeng Mountain at this time, do you?"

Xia Mochen remained silent.

Lin Shun said helplessly: "If you have to go, then you stay and I will go."

Xia Mochen: "It's useless for you to go."

Lin Shun: "That also needs to be tried, right? I can't let you drag this sick body to take risks."

Xia Mochen: "You go out first."

It is indeed not a good time to leave at this time, but——

If it goes on like this again and again, sooner or later she will be completely swallowed by the evil spirit, and this time there is no chance to do it again.

"Hey"

A helpless and doting sigh fell.

"My lord, Second Miss Ye is asking to see you." Xu Jiarui knocked on the door and reported.

Xia Mochen walked out.

Xu Jiarui: "Miss Ye Er said that she might be able to temporarily suppress the evil spirit in Miss's body."

Xia Mochen: "Where is she?"

Xu Jiarui: "Waiting in the living room."

"Let her come directly." Xia Mochen ordered.

After half a quarter of an hour, Ye Yingying walked into the room.

She nodded politely, "My lord."

Xia Mochen didn't mind her attitude: "The king is waiting outside."

Leaving a message, others have already walked out.

This surprised Ye Yingying a little.

But soon her mind was attracted by the symptoms of the girl on the bed.

The evil spirit lingering on her body has been with her for too long, and it has penetrated deep into the bone marrow, making it impossible to separate.

Even her own blood can only be suppressed for the time being. If she doesn't use her spiritual power, it will be fine. Once she uses her spiritual power, all previous efforts will be in vain.

If it wasn't for Ye Yao's begging, he wouldn't want to touch this troublesome matter.

That's all, it's time to do good deeds.

 I thought I could completely end this episode today and start a new chapter tomorrow, but it seems that I haven't finished writing it yet~~
