Chapter 134: This King’s Damn Charm
After Wen Li'er returned to the main hall, she was still in a daze for a long time.
After a long while, she asked Nanny Qin beside her, "Is Feng Fengyi really dead?"
Nanny Qin nodded and uttered a low "hmm".
Wen Li'er's face turned extremely pale.
A living person is gone just like that.
Although she did not see how Feng Yingying died, she must have died in a very ugly way after falling from such a high place with such a loud noise.
She recalled what happened today and felt like she had just had a very long dream.
Learned that King Wu died of poisoning - asked Nanny Qin to secretly prepare sacrifices - Feng Yingying led people to break into Qionghua Palace to find evidence against her - had to deal with them reluctantly - The Crown Princess and the Crown Prince came to visit - Feng Yingying died.
In this way, she became the source of Feng Yingying's death.
As if she understood what she was thinking, Nanny Qin consoled her, "Master, there's no need to blame yourself. It was she who killed Feng Fengyi. If she hadn't intended to harm you, how could she have ended up like this?"
Qingzhu and Qingmei also nodded vigorously.
Wen Li'er understood that although she was the source, if Feng Yingying hadn't come to harm her herself, how could a series of subsequent events have happened?
She just felt sorry for the loss of a young and vibrant life.
As for the things she hid on the beam, Wen Li'er guessed that His Highness must have had someone take them away.
Just now in the hall, the prince interrupted Feng Yingying and her and Nanny Qin's conversation intentionally or unintentionally, obviously helping her to conceal the fact that she had set up the altar privately.
However, it didn't take long for her and Nanny Qin to hide their things, walk out of the side hall, and then go back to the side hall with Feng Yingying.
When did His Highness discover it? And when did he take the things away?
She was dizzy from thinking about it, and when she couldn't figure it out, she decided not to think about it anymore.
When His Highness comes over, she will ask him in person.
Wen Li'er went to her son's bedroom in person again, and was relieved to see that the little guy was sleeping soundly.
I'm glad I didn't get scared.
Wen Li'er returned to her bedroom and waited for a long time, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince did not come.
She was a little nervous. Would His Highness be... angry with her?
She was thinking about whether she should write a letter to the prince and admit her mistake.
Then Qingzhu walked in.
Qingzhu held a letter in his hand.
"Master, His Highness has just left with the Crown Princess. Eunuch Yongtai asked me to give you this letter, saying it was written by His Highness the Crown Prince himself."
Wen Li'er was dumbfounded. Did His Highness leave already? Didn't he even come in to see her and the child?
When this thought came to her mind, she almost slapped herself to death.
His Highness is still in mourning, and setting foot in the palace where a concubine lives is likely to cause controversy.
Fortunately, with the Crown Princess by our side, any public opinion storms can be nipped in the bud.
If His Highness lets the Crown Princess leave first and then leaves her alone, he will inevitably be known to be unfilial and lustful.
Wen Li'er let out a long sigh and unfolded the letter that Qingzhu handed to her.
His Highness said in the letter that he would not come to see her for about three months, and during that time he would send someone to hold Xiaoxiao.
Then tell her to take care of herself, not to do anything dangerous, etc.
At the end of the letter, His Highness said:
——Uncle Wu Huang is not dead yet. I have had the things on the beam destroyed. I will explain the reason to you in detail when I have time.——
Don't worry.
Wen Li'er was a little confused when she saw this.
King Wu is not dead?
So she burned paper for a living person tonight, how unlucky is that?!
Thinking of the folk rumor that 'burning paper money for a living person will make the King of Hell take his soul in advance', her face turned even paler.
Although, she doesn't believe this.
But after all, it involved the life of her savior, so she didn't dare to be careless in the slightest.
Wen Li'er paced back and forth in the hall, repeatedly apologizing in her heart and recalling the folk methods of exorcising this matter.
She remembered an orthodox exorcism ceremony.
The worshipper needs to write a "disaster relief petition" on newly cut yellow paper with cinnabar, stating that "I mistakenly took a living person as a dead soul, and now I burn it to relieve the yin and yang disasters."
Then prepare three kinds of animals and wine as a gift, kneel down in the direction of the City God Temple and explain the whole story;
The person being worshipped also needs to personally step on a clay basin and break it, symbolizing "breaking the yin and returning to the yang" and so on.
Wen Li'er couldn't help but think of her mother and father and brothers at home.
They will only burn more than her...
Wen Li'er's face froze, and she hurriedly burned the letter sent by His Highness today in the candlelight.
He picked up his pen and wrote a reply to His Highness.
One actively admitted his mistake and shouldn't have set up a private altar in the palace;
Second, she was asked if she could perform a ritual to exorcise the evil spirit for King Wu;
Third, he asked her if she could tell her family that King Wu was not dead.
…
Tai Chi Palace.
In a side hall in the southwest corner.
Seeing that the body in front of him had not yet recovered, Yan Shixu ordered a table of greasy meals for King Wu to eat with relish, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
King Wu finished five bowls of rice in a row. Seeing that the dishes on the table were not finished yet, he handed the bowl to Chen Mu behind him.
“Another bowl!”
Chen Mu's face froze, and he reminded him, "Your Highness, based on your usual appetite, you should be full. And the dishes you ordered today are too greasy, which is not conducive to your current recovery. How about... let's not eat?"
King Wu put down his chopsticks with a bang and cursed, "You know shit! It's because I've exhausted my body that I should eat more meat and fish to replenish my energy. Yan Longyu, that bastard worse than pigs and dogs, dared to poison me! When I recover, he'll be dead!"
Seeing that Chen Mu refused to scoop rice for him, King Wu took the spoon and was about to scoop it himself, but was stopped by Yan Shixu.
King Wu glared at him and was so angry that he didn't want to eat anymore.
One by one, they are all making womanly noises!
Yan Shixu laughed and said, "Uncle Wu, when you've fully recovered, I won't stop you from eating anything you want. Prince Yu and his wife will be returning to the capital today. I have a plan that's 80% sure he'll admit to being the one who poisoned me. Uncle Wu, would you like to hear it?"
Upon hearing this, King Wu immediately pricked up his ears.
After the two men finished their discussion, King Wu's eyes were gleaming with energy, and he couldn't wait to put it into practice.
But there is no need to rush. It will not be too late to take action after his body has fully recovered.
Yan Shixu still had to go to the front hall to keep vigil for the emperor, so he stood up and was about to leave.
After taking two steps, he suddenly thought of something and turned to look at the porcelain bowl of rice on the table.
King Wu was puzzled: "Why, do you want some?"
Yan Shixu shook his head and pointed at the empty porcelain basin and said, "How about Uncle Wu smashing this basin?"
King Wu: “???”
Yan Shixu explained to him that Wen Li'er thought he had died of poisoning and secretly burned paper money for him, and then there was the method of exorcism that Wen Li'er mentioned.
King Wu's mouth opened into an O shape.
He touched his chin, turned to look at Chen Mu, who was also a little surprised, and said with emotion:
"This damn charm of mine is so great that even the women in the East Palace are interested in me. This really makes me feel a little overwhelmed."
Chen Mu: “…”
Yan Shixu: "..."
Yan Shixu looked King Wu up and down in silence, and said bluntly, "Uncle Wu, I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding of the word 'charm'. In this regard, I am confident that I can surpass you."
Chen Mu nodded aside: "Much better."
King Wu: “…”
