Sick King and Concubine

Chapter 136 Where is the Sword Pointing (3)
Emperor Cheng Yuan said: "What do you want to say, Princess?"

Dai Yue said: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask the great wizard to take a look, maybe we can get some truth."

At this moment, Emperor Cheng Yuan had no choice but to say, "Then I have invited the Great Wizard."

The great wizard went up, and then flipped open the jade box in the hand of the guard next to him. His soft hand reached in, and he retracted it after a while, saying: "The second prince died from the bite of the bone worm."

Emperor Cheng Yuan asked: "What is the fishy bone worm?"

The great wizard replied: "The origin of the fishy bone worm is mysterious, but in Daqiu, the previous king was killed by this worm, so I have paid more attention to this worm, but now, if the second prince's skin becomes tight Look, you will find densely packed dots. These fishy bone worms are very powerful, and usually only special drugs can control them, and they cannot accept human body temperature. Once a long time, they will automatically wake up. Steel and iron bones will also be pierced one by one, cannibalizing human flesh and blood."

Emperor Cheng Yuan frowned and said, "So what?"

The great wizard said: "If you want to find out the cause of the second prince's death, you can only investigate from here. I wonder if the ninth imperial concubine can show me your coral beads."

Jiang Li glanced slightly, and then took off the red coral beads from her wrist.

Chu Yu took it and walked up to the great wizard.

The great wizard stepped back slightly, and then reached out to take the beads from Chu Yu.

He touched it with his hand, and then said: "The coral beads of Nine Emperor Consorts don't seem to be real red coral beads."

As soon as his words came out, everyone on the field turned their eyes quickly again.

If this string of red coral beads were not real red coral beads, then all her advantages just now would be reduced, and the chances of them being the culprits who killed Chu Mao would rise rapidly.

The tables turned again.

Facing everyone's questioning eyes, Jiang Li just smiled slightly and asked, "Why would the great wizard say that?"

The great wizard said: "I have another string of coral beads in my hand. These are genuine South Sea coral beads. Your Majesty will find the difference after you try it."

Emperor Cheng Yuan looked at Chu Yu, then stretched out his hand, touched it, and took it.

This time, his face darkened a little.

Dai Yue next to him said: "Your Majesty! Although my daughter is from a foreign country, she still deeply admires the etiquette of the Central Plains. If something like killing brothers and sisters is really done, then no matter what, I can't bear it."

Although she just said it casually, her timing couldn't be more clever. Anyone with a little thought would know that she pointed the finger at Chu Yu and Jiang Li.

Emperor Cheng Yuan looked at Chu Yu and said, "What do you have to say?"

Chu Yu looked into the distance with an extremely calm expression: "Where did the wizard find out that my coral bead is fake?"

The great wizard paused for a while, and said: "The preciousness of the coral beads in the South China Sea lies in their thickness, but now, your coral beads are obviously too light. Furthermore, although your beads are smooth, they are not cool enough. Coral beads feel cold on your hands, but this string of beads is not."

Jiang Li stepped forward and said with a smile, "Is that why?"

"Isn't that enough?" Dai Yue sneered.

Jiang Li sighed: "Princess Daiyue, I'm afraid you won't be allowed to comment on the matter of our Great Chu."

"You!" Dai Yue's expression changed.

Jiang Li just nodded with a smile, and said, "Please give me that bead, wizard."

The great wizard handed over the bead, Jiang Li took it, and said with a smile, "This bead doesn't feel right to the touch? Doesn't the great wizard know that there is a custom in our Central Plains, which is to paint the belongings with daughters on the day of the great cold? oil, and I don’t like smelly ones, so I made some myself.” She took out the veil from her arms, and then pinched the beads with her fingernails, and then a thin piece fell off down.

Jiang Li then said to Emperor Cheng Yuan: "Your Majesty, this is an item given by Concubine Li. I dare not damage it at will. I wonder if Your Majesty will allow me to touch the beads."

Emperor Cheng Yuan nodded.

Jiang Li took a bead, Chu Yu took it, and then pinched it slightly, only to see that the bead suddenly separated, and inside, it was hollow, and there was a pearl the size of a grain of rice embedded in it.

Jiang Li smiled and said: "My little girl is not someone who has never been in contact with South Sea coral beads, so I also noticed that the weight of the beads was abnormal at the beginning, so my little girl guessed that there was something wrong with the beads, and now it is true. This bead is really Concubine Li The gift from the empress is really exquisite."

Now everyone was silent, the bead was empty, so the lack of weight was obvious, at this time everyone glanced at Dai Yue again, her aggressiveness just now seemed even more ridiculous now.

Dai Yue's face was reddish because of anger, but she still endured it.

Everyone looked at each other, lost their minds for a while.

Emperor Cheng Yuan looked at the situation in front of him, and finally said: "Let's do this first, if there is anything to do, we will check it out when we go back tomorrow."

Huangfu Linlang and Chu Yuan looked at each other, and they all frowned. Once these things are delayed, they cannot be stopped. If they are delayed now, it may become a deadlock, and the doubts buried in Emperor Chengyuan's heart will become more and more serious. Big.

Trust is fundamental and must not be broken.

Huangfu Linlang thought for a while, then straightened up and said, "Your Majesty..."

Before she could finish speaking, the tent at the side flickered with flames, and the guard shouted loudly: "There are assassins!"

Emperor Cheng Yuan's face changed, and he was about to speak, but saw the soaring flames attacking all the way along the tents, and in the blink of an eye, those connected tents began to burn blazingly!

The guards squeezed over immediately, and then firmly protected Emperor Chengyuan in the center.

Chu Yuan took a look, looked around vigilantly, and then said: "Most of them are over there, Father, please allow your ministers to lead the guards!"

At this time, as long as he shows a heart of desperate protection, it will be of great benefit to him.

Emperor Cheng Yuan glanced at him and said, "Go."

Chu Yuan stood up immediately, then greeted a group of men and horses, picked up the long spear beside him and began to rush into the night.

Chu Chen also led a group of people and quickly headed towards the burning tents. The sharp knife light instantly tore apart, and rows of black shadows rushed up, fighting with the guards.

Emperor Cheng Yuan held Concubine Li in his arms, and then said to Chu Yu, "Go over there and have a look."
