Chapter 175 Soul Locking Array
Zhao Zhuoxi didn't really care about Su Rui, but went down the mountain directly.
He was still certain that the princess beside him at this moment was not Jiang Jiu, but Suman.
He wanted to find someone to ask where his Jiang Jiu had gone.
Or was it that this princess was so good at pretending that she made him think she was Jiang Jiu.
After returning to the palace, Zhao Zhuoxi moved back into the small courtyard where Jiang Jiu lived.
Although the yard has been cleaned up, Zhao Zhuoxi can still find the feeling of being with Jiang Jiu in the past.
The familiar scent of osmanthus and the familiar smell of crabapple flowers.
He never forgets them.
Finally, at midnight, Lu Ming and Ni Chang came back from outside.
When Lu Ming came back, his face looked a little gloomy.
"Your Highness, I have inquired about it. There is indeed a magic called Soul Locking Formation in the royal temple. It is said that as long as you can find the hair, nails, etc. of the deceased, and then the birth date of the deceased, you can lock the soul of the deceased by your side."
"The Third Prince did this before."
Nishang also said: "My subordinates in the palace have also found out that the emperor keeps a demon monk in his palace who knows such magic. The emperor may have locked the queen's soul by his side. They said that the emperor is always talking to himself in the palace..."
Zhao Zhuoxi was still puzzled: "Why did they want to lock up Xiaojiu's soul?"
Lu Ming thought for a moment and said, "It should be the thing that was lit for my wife..."
"The bomb was so powerful that the entire Kunning Palace collapsed, and the ground collapsed three feet, exposing the secret passage inside."
"If it is developed and used in war, it will surely be invincible and have no problems..."
Zhao Zhuoxi nodded: "I know this thing. Xiao Yimo has already made it. A pistol, a cannon, bullets and shells have also been made, but they are a little too few and not enough for war..."
"What I want now is not these, but who wants to lock Xiaojiu's soul, what is the purpose of locking the soul, and who do they want to deal with?"
Nichang pursed her lips: "It must be to deal with the prince... The emperor is no longer a concern, could it be Prince Ling..."
Zhao Zhuoxi's eyes flashed.
Half a year ago, another country wanted to attack Daning. At that time, the court was short of manpower, so the emperor sent Zhao Zhuoran to lead troops to fight the enemy.
Now half a year has passed. The war should have been over long ago, but Zhao Zhuoran has not returned yet.
The most crucial thing is that the Queen's bedroom was bombed, and Zhao Zhuoxi originally had the opportunity to ascend the throne as emperor, but at that time, Zhao Zhuoran did not return.
Now it's like he disappeared.
"Is there any movement from Sixth Brother?"
Lu Ming shook his head: "Not yet. We can't send any news. After we went to the border, the Sixth Prince's guard was as tight as an iron barrel."
Zhao Zhuoxi narrowed his eyes slightly: "If Sixth Brother was not born with six fingers, with his talent, he could be on par with Third Brother. Even if Big Brother became the emperor later, he would not be able to help. The court can still be maintained normally without Big Brother. Without him, it will be in chaos..."
As early as after Zhao Zhuoxi returned to Beijing, he had slowly realized Zhao Zhuoran's strength, but he was anxious to deal with Prime Minister Zhou and the Queen.
Now it seems that he still neglected it.
"Go and bring that evil monk to me. I want to know how to revive Jiang Jiu. This evil monk must have the method..."
Lu Ming and Ni Chang looked at each other awkwardly and agreed resolutely.
Back in the villa, Zhao Zhuoxi left quietly and did not return for the whole night.
Suman didn't know where he had gone.
When I woke up the next day and was about to send someone to look for her, Mrs. Su came in with Su Ruier.
"Man'er, did you sleep well? Mom and Rui'er are here to accompany you, be happy."
Su Man gave Su Rui a polite fake smile, glanced at her with an arrogant look, and pointed at a seat nearby.
"Mom, sit down. Su Rui, sit down and have some tea."
Qiuyue first poured a cup of tea for each of the three people.
Mrs. Su looked at Suman with satisfaction and was very pleased.
"You have been married to the prince for so long. Now that the prince has woken up, mother knows that you are a blessed man. Mother said that it was a good thing that you married me that day."
Mrs. Su's affection did not seem fake. Although she was not her biological daughter, she had raised her for fifteen years after all, so she would have feelings for her even for a kitten or a puppy.
But this scene was so calculating that Su Man didn't know what to say.
It was Princess Zhaoyang who suggested the situation of her granddaughter to the Emperor, and the Emperor issued an imperial decree to arrange the marriage for her as a congratulatory gesture. She makes it sound as if it was all her credit.
Madam Su continued, "You don't know, when you married into the palace, I heard that the second wife of the Qin family and Qin Qing also moved in. I was very worried about you..."
Su Rui also added, "Yes, mother couldn't eat or sleep well, and she was afraid that you would be wronged. She cried several times in front of grandma. It was thanks to grandma that she sent Chunhua and others to help you..."
They were all maids in the Su Mansion. Qiuyue knew that this was not the case, but she did not dare to say anything.
Mrs. Su continued, "Now it's all right. Let's take this opportunity to stay in the villa for a few more days, and we can have a good talk..."
Suman drank a sip of tea and wanted Surui to climb onto the prince's bed, right?
Thinking of what she saw last night, her heart ached.
Looking at Su Rui again, she was smiling, but her eyes were scanning the room, probably trying to find the figure of Prince.
At this time, Dongyue came to report.
"Princess, they said that the prince had to go down the mountain for something important, and asked you to stay here for a few more days and come back after the prince has finished his business."
Suman smiled coldly. Well, now it’s good. The prince is not here. They came at a really unfortunate time.
When Su Rui heard this, she felt aggrieved.
Everyone said that the King of Qi had a violent temper, but he was really handsome and gentle to others.
They were getting along fine yesterday, why did he leave?
If she had known that the King of Qi would wake up, she would have married him...
Mrs. Su did not expect that the prince would leave as soon as they arrived.
After speaking a few words, she left, and quickly asked her maid to return to the capital to inquire about the whereabouts of the prince.
Zhao Zhuoxi also got the news quickly.
"If you can't bring the dead back to life, you can use a corpse to revive the soul. Sure enough, that evil monk has some skills. Can you find out who is behind this?"
Lu Ming clasped his hands together and said, "Master, it's Qin
The Grand Scholar and Prince Ling, in addition, Princess Zhaoyang is also involved..."
Zhao Zhuoxi frowned: "Prince Ling and Qin Dashi have colluded with each other for a long time, so forget it, why did Princess Zhaoyang get involved..."
Lu Ming said: "One of her granddaughters has the same horoscope as the lady, and the evil monk said that Princess Zhaoyang is mainly interested in the lady's money..."
Zhao Zhuoxi had a disgusted expression on his face: "She is a princess of a country, is her family very poor?"
Lu Ming: “…”
Princess Zhaoyang was not poor, but she loved doing business. She failed every time she tried. She tried again and again, and lost all her money.
Fortunately, she had a wealthy dowry, so she didn't lose everything.
Now that he knows that Zhao Zhuoxi's wife is the richest person in Jiangnan, he is very envious.
Nichang asked: "Prince, what should we do now? Can the Madam come back?"
Zhao Zhuoxi smiled evilly: "Resurrection... She will come back."
