I am Feng Jun

Chapter 97 97. Do you have a problem with the second princess?

"Of course it's more than that!"

Miao Miao, whose ability was doubted, raised her voice to justify herself.

"This servant can't go on with the investigation, so I'll focus on investigating the second princess! As a result, I also found out that the second prince was in contact with the servants of the Minister of Rites, Gu's family.

And I also heard that Miss Gu's family got smallpox for some reason a few days ago, but due to the mistakes of the servants in the mansion, Miss Gu's condition was delayed for a long time, and she was about to die. Fortunately, Mrs. Gu invited Fang in time Xian, just rescued Miss Gu! "

"smallpox?"

Shen Ci pondered.

"The second emperor's daughter was involved with the members of the Gu family, and then Miss Gu got smallpox. Was it the second emperor's daughter who did it?"

Miao Miao sighed.

"I checked along this line, but it was broken!"

She checked this line for three days!It just broke.

Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sad.

Hearing this, Shen Ci slightly raised his eyes with a shrewd expression.

"If the second princess did it, what would she want to do?"

"I have a few guesses about this. One is that the second imperial daughter has a personal grievance with Miss Gu. The second imperial daughter is narrow-minded and vicious. It's not that there is no possibility of revenge.

Second, the Gu family may have blocked the way of the second princess. "

As a member of Mu Yuanxi, Miao Miao naturally wouldn't have a good impression of the second princess.

Shen Ci also got out of Miao Miao's words, and glanced at her lightly.

"Do you have a problem with the second princess?"

"Uh, no, I'm just a small bookstore owner, how dare I have a problem with a royal daughter!"

Miao Miao said with a smile.

"It's you, Master Ci. Shen Xiang is the teacher of the Empress Dowager, and Young Master Shen is the accompanist of the Empress Dowager. You and the Empress Dowager still have a marriage contract. If the Second Empress has any conspiracy, the Shen family can't do anything!"

The Shen family is out-and-out the queen's daughter's party.

Hearing this, Shen Ci raised his eyebrows slightly, and licked his lips.

"Marriage contract!"

Shen Ci said casually, with a bit of coldness in his eyes.

The direct descendants of the Shen family are all related to the Empress Dowager.

But, is he from the Shen family?

Don't say that if you take possession of this body, you will inherit the original owner's will.

Not to mention whether the original owner has the will to protect the Shen family.

Shen Ci has never regarded the Shen family as his own.

Not to mention guarding the family.

As for his engagement with the Crown Princess?
The reason why Shen Ci didn't go deep into the rumors that ruined his reputation was not because Shen Nanzhu solved them all.

It's that he doesn't care at all, and even thinks that these rumors can help him get rid of the engagement.

Come to think of it, what royal orthodoxy would marry a man of bad character who elopes?

What's more, this is a feudal dynasty.

In Shen Ci's mind, the fact that he ran away from home meant that the engagement would definitely be rescinded in the future.

Thinking of this, there was a faint smile on Shen Ci's thin lips, which made Miao Miao a little apprehensive.

I always feel that Master Ci is planning something that can destroy the world.

Shen Xiangxi.

Gu Qianqiu sneezed, rubbed the tip of her nose, and looked at the progress bar of the branch line that was progressing slowly.

Gu Qianqiu lowered her eyes in thought.

Although there are some omissions in the script, there are always some clues.

A few days ago, she also asked Gu Lihuan what the sacrifice he planned to give to the national teacher was.

The sacrificial matter was originally very secretive, but Gu Qianqiu couldn't help showing his tenth-level coquettish and cute tricks in front of Gu Lihuan, and finally asked about the sacrificial matter.

It turned out that in the spring festival on March [-]rd every day, the sacrifice given by the chief priest to the national teacher was twelve drops of blood essence.

And it has to be the blood of twelve 12-year-old boys born in different months.

Every year at this time, Gu Lihuan would be too busy to die for these twelve drops of blood.

Taking a drop of blood won't kill a man, but it will leave the boy weak for a few years.

Therefore, every year, Gu Lihuan would collect boys with good physical fitness and good looks who met the requirements of the national teacher a few months in advance.

Then, with the Queen's secret decree, they went door to door to collect blood.

Of course, every time the queen will give a lot of rewards to the people who took the blood.

They will also tell the family that this blood is used to worship the gods during the spring festival of the national teacher.

National teacher Lanyi has a high prestige in the Mu Dynasty, so those who are selected will not hesitate at all, they will happily hand over their blood, accept the queen's reward, and be proud of it.

But this matter is also extremely secretive, and only a few people in the entire Ministry of Rites know about it.

Those who contributed blood will also be required to keep it a secret, and of course some people will ask why.

Gu Lihuan explained that this was the request of the national teacher.

The national teacher said that the gods can find everyone with the breath of blood, so as to protect them and increase their luck.

But once it is made public, it is very likely that it will not work.

Therefore, no one would ever tell this matter to the outside world, for fear of ruining the matter of the national teacher and disturbing his son's luck.

"Why are you asking this?"

Gu Lihuan glanced at his daughter who had become more and more well-behaved recently, and asked a question.

"Um, it's nothing, I'm just curious!"

Gu Qianqiu said calmly.

But she was extremely curious.

Does this world use essence and blood to worship the gods?

What kind of god is it offering sacrifices to?I don't know if she has heard of it.

"There are still five days until the Spring Festival. You have to start fasting one day in advance. Qiu'er, eat whatever you want to eat recently. After the Spring Festival, you will only have clear soup and little water."

Gu Lihuan didn't think too much about it, but reminded Gu Qianqiu.

"Oh, yes, mother!"

Gu Qianqiu expressed that she understood that she had already stocked up a lot of things, and she was not afraid of eating lightly during the Spring Festival.

"However, mother, have you encountered anything recently?"

Gu Qianqiu asked tentatively.

"No, what's wrong?"

Gu Qianqiu thought for a while.

The crime of secretly exchanging sacrifices is still too serious, no matter what, Gu Lihuan can't be allowed to spread it.

"Mom, is there really nothing wrong?"

"Um…"

Hearing his daughter's question, Gu Lihuan thought about it seriously.

"There's nothing else, except that Xiao Feng under me seems to be a little different from before."

If Gu Qianqiu didn't say anything, Gu Lihuan really wouldn't care.

"Is that the servant Feng Jinping?"

"Well, yes, it's her, what's the matter, what did you ask her for?"

That's right, in the script given by Ah Huang, it was this Feng Jinping who took Gu Lihuan's place and temporarily took charge of the Spring Festival.

"Mother, I seem to remember that there seems to be a taboo in the Spring Festival, which says that before the Spring Festival, mourning is not allowed, and you are not allowed to participate in any unlucky and dirty things."

Gu Qianqiu gradually attracted Gu Lihuan who had no sense of crisis.

Gu Lihuan frowned.

"Yes, what do you want to say?"

"Mom, do you think it's strange that I spend my day!"

Gu Qianqiu said rather angrily.

"I didn't do anything, why did I get smallpox for no reason, and if it wasn't for Dr. Fang, my daughter might be dead by now!"

"What nonsense! What is not dead!"

Gu Lihuan didn't like Gu Qianqiu's words, so he reprimanded him.

"No, mother, think about it, if your daughter dies, won't you be able to take charge of the spring festival?"

Hearing this, Gu Lihuan nodded.

"Is this what Qiu'er meant to say that someone intentionally harmed you so that your mother could not preside over the Spring Festival?"
