Chapter 267 Little Gourd's Methods

"As long as the Emperor is here, I am not afraid."

Emperor Yongping felt Chu Qinshu's small body tremble, and quickly picked her up and patted her back to calm her surprise.

The book said that the queen was a ghost from another world.

The body of that dead soul in the other world was eaten by insects and died.

Unexpectedly, Sheng Anguo still couldn't escape the same fate.

Oh~ I dare not think about that scene, my scalp tingles when I think about it.

"Go ask the Imperial Master how the Queen should deal with this situation."

In the Yongping Emperor's mind, if it weren't for the insect in his body, the Empress would not have been alive until now.

After being locked up for a few months, she was almost tired of the torture, so I thought of throwing her away as soon as possible so that I could out of sight and out of mind.

"Oh."

[Your Majesty, please don't worry. Shu'er will ask Little Gourd. ]

Chu Qinshu and Xiao Hulu looked up a lot of information to help Emperor Yongping out of the dilemma. She remembered that the Empress' situation could not be handled casually.

The bugs feed on the queen's blood. When the queen's blood is completely devoured, they will look for a new host, that is, someone who is related to the queen by blood.

If the queen's body falls into the hands of the black wizards of the Red Spirit Kingdom, they may refine it into a puppet.

"Okay, Shu'er will ask for the Emperor."

Emperor Yongping patted Chu Qinshu and signaled Chu Wei to wait.

'Small gourd.'

Little Gourd knew what was happening around Chu Qinshu without any reminder.

'Master, Xiao Hulu has a prescription here. Prepare the medicine according to the prescription and put it in the Queen's cell. After burning the herbs, close the doors and windows for twelve hours and wait for the insects to be fumigated to death.

Afterwards, the queen and the bugs were burned to ashes with kerosene. The ashes could not be thrown away at will, but were divided into six equal parts. They were mixed with lime water, sulfur water, atractylodes soup, wormwood soup, realgar wine, and feces water, and then put into pottery jars and buried deep underground.'

After Little Gourd finished speaking, he placed the prescription on the desk with a mischievous look on his face.

Chu Qinshu listened carefully and felt something was wrong.

But without thinking too much, he took out the prescription and handed it to Emperor Yongping, and repeated the method that Xiao Hulu had told him.

"Chu Wei, take this prescription..."

Emperor Yongping handed the prescription to Chu Wei again, and at the same time repeated to Chu Wei the method that Chu Qinshu had told him.

Chu Wei didn't hear anything wrong, so he hurried down with the prescription to carry it out, fearing that if he was a step late, the empress and the insects would run away.

"Little Gourd, keep an eye on the Queen and the fake Imperial Master. The Queen has been attacked, and the fake Imperial Master must be able to sense it. Although he has been locked up, his black witch bloodline cannot be underestimated."

When Chu Qinshu saw Chu Wei disappear with the prescription, she hurriedly reminded Xiao Hulu.

"Master, don't worry. With Xiao Hulu here, that fake imperial teacher won't have the chance to cause trouble."

When Little Gourd saw that his master dealt with the Queen according to the method he had said, the corners of his mouth curled up with a smile.

The method it said was indeed correct, but the feces was intentional.

The queen is a ghost from another world, and it is worried that the queen will die this time and then come back to life.

Divide it into six piles and mix them with different medicinal soups, and you will end her chances of reincarnation or revival.

Even if we take a step back, if someone goes against it, it has prepared a response plan for the queen in advance, giving the queen a chance to revive or reincarnate.

No matter whether the queen was reincarnated or resurrected, she could not live like a normal person.

With his physical disability, intellectual disability, and the lingering smell of feces, it is unlikely that he would have a chance to cause trouble.

'Well, I believe in Xiao Hulu.'

Chu Qinshu had just finished communicating with Xiao Hulu, and then she saw Emperor Yongping looking at her.

"Oh."

[Your Majesty, please take a rest. Shu'er needs to sleep to grow. 】

The queen died, which was a happy thing. Chu Qinshu fell asleep without any worries.

Emperor Yongping saw that she fell asleep instantly, so he quickly put her back on the rocking bed and covered her with a quilt.

Afterwards, he left the bedroom and asked someone to invite the imperial teacher into the palace.

It's not that he didn't believe Chu Qinshu, he was just worried that the black witch in the Red Spirit Kingdom would be affected by the Queen's death.

As for the Black Witch, no one in the entire Changxing Continent likes him except the Chiling Kingdom.

The reason why people dislike black witches is that their witchcraft has harmed too many people, making it difficult for people to guard against them.

After the morning court session the next day, Chu Chengyi, Yu Jinming and Su Pengxin went to Yu's study together.

This was the first time that Emperor Yongping discussed the matter of Prince Ning with them face to face.

From a father's perspective, it is natural for Emperor Yongping to want to protect Prince Ning.

But from the perspective of an emperor, Prince Ning's act of sacrificing Yuzhou for his own selfish interests cannot be tolerated.

"Is there any new progress in the matter of Yuzhou? When can this case be concluded?"

The two files were still on Emperor Yongping's case.

"In reply to the emperor, the interrogation of Matthew Li and the local officials who escorted him back to Beijing has been completed. They have confessed to their actions. If it does not involve the treasure hunt, the case can be closed at any time."

Although Su Pengxin's answer was quite conventional, it also contained a hint of inquiry.

Since it concerns the prince, it's not that he doesn't dare to mention it, but he can't let Emperor Yongping feel forced.

If pushed to the limit, killing him would be a small matter, but letting Prince Ning go would be a big problem.

"Who are the people who are looking for treasure for Matthew? Have you found any trace of them?"

Emperor Yongping understood the meaning of Su Pengxin's answer as soon as he heard it.

"Most of the people Matthew sent out to look for treasure were his servants. Their deeds have all been found. It won't take long to arrest them."

This question was answered by Yu Jinming.

When it comes to finding people, the Dali Temple is the most efficient.

Matthew Li was very cautious in his treasure hunt. The deeds of the people he used were all in his hands, and they all traveled around the country as merchants.

For example, purchasing medicinal materials, purchasing farmers' products, etc., using these methods to gather information, or even going into the mountains to survey the terrain, would not arouse suspicion from local people.

Even some local officials or merchants would give him some convenience.

"The slaves he kept himself? He is quite cautious. Has this matter caused any adverse impact on the people?"

Emperor Yongping had to admit that Matthew Li was cunning and treacherous.

He used his own servants to search for treasures, and he did it in a low-key manner. This alone made him smarter than Prince Ning.

Yu Jinming: "So far, we have not found any complaints from the people, or any rumors about treasure hunting."

Emperor Yongping nodded and said, "Well, bring back those people he let go. The treasure is a figment of our imagination. Don't let them talk nonsense and cause trouble."

"Your Majesty is right. I will obey your order."

Yu Jinming agreed with what Emperor Yongping said and bowed his head to accept the order.

But, it seems like we can’t continue discussing this matter?

They were called to Yu's study. Shouldn't they talk about Prince Ning's affairs?

Why do you keep asking Matthew Li?

Yu Jinming couldn't help but glanced at Su Pengxin, "Father-in-law, why don't you mention Prince Ning?"

Su Pengxin looked straight ahead, "Unlucky son-in-law, you are so smart, why didn't you mention it?"
