Mugui

Chapter 422

After hearing this, Princess Shu suddenly raised her eyes and glanced at the two of them, with deep distrust in her eyes.

Concubine Zhu looked embarrassed for a moment and said: "This palace is full of Suzaku troops. We have no chance."

Concubine Fang also said: "Sister and His Highness are protected by trustworthy people. How should we start?"

What they told was the truth, but Princess Shu had doubts in her heart.

Concubine Zhu advised: "It is better to check as soon as possible what the young highness and the wet nurse have eaten today."

Concubine Fang also said: "This poison has a rapid onset, so it must have been taken into the mouth at night."

The two of them pulled Concubine Shu back to her senses, and she glanced at her personal officer Luo.

Miss Luo knelt down and said, "My dear, the relevant people are already waiting."

Concubine Shu nodded and said: "Call me to the palace and interrogate you right here!"

The palace is a troubled place, so examining and questioning are compulsory skills for female officials.

Official Luo ordered everyone who had been in contact with Li You and the nanny from yesterday to before Li You fell ill to bring them into the hall. First, everyone was given paper and pen, and ordered them to write down their itinerary during this period.

The people around Concubine Shu were all literate. For a moment, the only sound of writing was in the hall.

After everyone finished writing, Ms. Luo read all the papers.

After that, they were interrogated one by one in front of everyone.

If you don't agree, or if you don't have time to witness, you have to tell your itinerary backwards.

With such a process, it is extremely difficult to lie.

While he was narrating backwards, the sound of a child crying suddenly came from the inner hall.

Concubine Shu stood up immediately and almost ran to the inner hall.

At this point, Yang Mu had already opened the bed curtain and got off the bed.

Concubine Shu threw herself beside the bed. Seeing her son crying loudly, she turned around and asked anxiously: "What's wrong?"

Yang Mu nodded and said, "It should be fine."

The three imperial doctors who had been waiting by the bed took turns to take Li You's pulse, and they all had expressions of surprise.

"Congratulations, Your Highness, your Majesty is fine!"

Concubine Shu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly tears rolled down her face. She hugged the child and burst into tears.

Yang Mu asked: "Is there a wet nurse?"

The three imperial doctors then led Yang Mu to see the wet nurse.

The wet nurse's condition was much better than that of Li You. Her face was only red, and it was obvious that the poison had not yet entered her heart.

After Yang Mu used the internal force on the nanny according to the method just now, the nanny suddenly spit out a mouthful of blood, and then slowly opened her eyes.

After the imperial doctor made a diagnosis, it was determined that the wet nurse was fine.

When the nanny was invited to the main hall, Officer Luo happened to target the biggest suspect - eunuch Zhang Guangmao.

After being identified by the wet nurse, Zhang Guangmao had given her a hot towel last night.

She happened to be breastfeeding Li You at that time, so she washed it with a hot towel.

Li You was naturally poisoned after eating poison-stained milk, but the nanny was poisoned because she applied it outside the skin.

In this way, Zhang Guangmao was almost confirmed.

Concubine Shu gnashed her teeth in hatred and ordered people to be tortured. She wanted to know who was behind the scenes.

Zhang Guangmao has followed her since she entered the palace and is considered a close confidant.

Who reached out to her?
Zhang Guangmao was executed in public, but just after being hit with a wooden board more than a dozen times, he suddenly screamed, pinched his own throat, and laughed maniacally.

Before everyone could recover, Zhang Guangmao spurted out a mouthful of black blood and fell to the ground dead.Yang Mu quickly stepped forward and checked his carotid artery, then raised his head and shook his head slightly at Concubine Shu.

People are dead.

Concubine Shu was so angry that she threw the tea cup on the table to the ground, which made all the servants kneel and tremble in fright.

She pointed at the body and shouted: "Check it for me!"

Yang Mu frowned and said, "Aunt, we need an autopsy."

Concubine Shu said with anger on her face: "Test!"

Yang Mu waved his hand, and the Suzaku Army came in, took Zhang Guangmao's body out, kept it properly, and ordered someone to invite the widower of Jingzhao Mansion.

Zhang Guangmao died, and Li You and the nanny were no longer in danger. Concubine Zhu and Concubine Fang did not stay and both said goodbye.

Concubine Shu also calmed down at this time and was no longer so angry. She took Yang Mu's hand and said gratefully: "Sister Mu, if it weren't for you, You'er would..."

Thinking of the child's body getting cold just now, Princess Shu felt frightened.

Yang Mu said: "She is also my cousin. As a sister, I naturally have to protect my younger brother."

Seeing the bright smile on Yang Mu's face, Concubine Shu felt that her body was gradually getting warmer.

After a long while, she asked: "Could it be a master who secretly killed someone?"

She was talking about Zhang Guangmao's sudden death.

Yang Mu shook his head slightly and said: "Unless you are a first-class master, you can't kill someone invisible in front of me. And there is only one first-class master in the capital, Duan Jiulang."

Concubine Shu never suspected that Yang Mu, the most skilled martial artist at the scene, committed the murder, because if it was Yang Mu, why would he need to save people?

So she still believed what Yang Mu said.

Yang Mu comforted her: "Auntie, we'd better clean up the people around us again. We'll wait for the results of the operation."

The editor of Jingzhao Mansion was an expert. After completing the examination, he reported the preliminary autopsy results and said that he would have to wait three days to check the changes in the body.

In the palace, Eunuch Yan, who was sent by the Empress Dowager to take charge of the matter, made the decision to leave the body in the palace and not to carry it away to prevent changes.

Someone was sent to check for any abnormalities in Zhang Guangmao during this period.

Yang Mu invited Liu Yishou to conduct an autopsy with Wu Zuo.

She always felt that Zhang Guangmao looked like he was poisoned when he died.

After Liu Yishou performed the autopsy, he used a small earthen jar to contain the poisonous insects hidden under the scalp of the corpse and came to see Yang Mu.

Yang Mu looked at the little thing in the earthen jar and asked, "It's really a voodoo? What kind of voodoo is this?"

Liu Yishou looked very solemn and said: "Mother Gu. If controlled by others, the mother Gu can kill the host of the child Gu at any time."

Yang Mu looked at his expression and asked: "This Gu is very powerful? Why is Mr. Liu so serious?"

Liu Yishou thought for a while and didn't know what to say. After a while, he said: "This matter is a bit unbelievable. In fact, I don't know whether it is true or not."

Yang Mu ordered someone to serve tea and said, "Mr. Liu, please speak slowly. I am all ears."

When Liu Yishou saw that the tea bowl he was given was actually made of gold, he immediately cheered up. He drank the tea, thought about his thoughts, and then said: "Princess, look at it, does that mother-in-law look like a spider without legs?"

Seeing Yang Mu nodding, Liu Yishou continued: "This kind of bug is called a spider louse. It is not a voodoo bug at all, and it is not poisonous. If you say that this kind of bug can be controlled to kill people, it will only be the Miao Territory Ten Thousand Gu King."

Yang Mu asked: "What is the King of Ten Thousand Gus?"

Liu Yishou said: "I have never seen the King of Ten Thousand Gus. It was mentioned in my master's handbook that there is a King of Ten Thousand Gus in Miao territory, which can turn all the insects in the world into sub-gu. The one who holds the King of Ten Thousand Gus is hundreds of miles away. In addition, you can make the Zi Gu host obey your orders, and if you want to kill the Zi Gu host, you can also make it go crazy and die."

Yang Mu's heart moved. Isn't this how Zhang Guangmao died?
He was pinching his own neck, laughing crazily, and then died suddenly.

Liu Yishou said: "It's just that this Ten Thousand Gu King is just a legend, no one has ever seen it."

Yang Mu asked: "Sir, did Master's handwriting mention who this Ten Thousand Gu King belongs to?"
