Chapter 415: Hot Potato
It and its master came to this small world with a mission; wealth and power were not their goals.
There must be a reason why this treasure came to its owner.
Little Gourd has always believed in the Taoist theory of cause and effect, and is even more convinced that there is a cause and effect relationship between his master and the person in the coffin.
The master brought the man out of the stone chamber, and the man woke up to help the master complete the task. How perfect.
"He looks young and even younger. He won't turn into a baby before waking up, right?
I better hurry up and think about what other books I haven't memorized. If I find any books about witchcraft, I can see if I can find a way to deal with black witches."
Chu Qinshu didn't disbelieve Xiao Hulu's words, but she remembered who the person in the coffin looked like.
He was the doctor who saved her when she was sent to the emergency room after being hit by a car in her previous life, and the last person she saw before she died.
She still remembered that she was so badly injured that her soul was floating in the air and could not keep up with her body.
When she was sent to the hospital, it was too late to put her on a ventilator, so the doctor performed cardiopulmonary resuscitation on her.
She was rescued, but she only had time to take a look at the person who saved her, and finally died in that faint mint scent.
Thinking of this, Chu Qinshu blushed a little.
At that time, everyone blamed her for being obsessed with beauty, otherwise she would not have died young.
Ahem, back to the topic, if that doctor really has some relationship with the person in the coffin, then he probably won't be able to deal with the black witch.
After all, in her previous life, the word "witchcraft" was rarely heard, and even the literature on it was pitifully scarce.
Where can one find knowledge related to witches?
Therefore, instead of hoping that the person in the coffin would wake up and fight against the black witch, it would be better for Xiao Hulu to think of a solution herself.
If there is a way to avoid confronting the black wizard, it would be perfect.
Ouyang Yue is now somewhat hysterical. She is harassed by people in the martial arts world, guarded against openly and covertly by the Red Spirit Emperor, and suspected by her mother and her in-laws.
She had to watch Prince Ning, this hot potato, stay in her house, but she didn't dare to do anything to him.
Just think about how she was a year ago, she was still a wanton and pampered princess.
Now she has to be on guard against being robbed every day and endure being rejected by the people closest to her.
These days, I really can't stand it for a moment.
"Mou Cheng, I want Prince Ning to die."
Mou Cheng is Mou Yu's junior fellow apprentice. Ever since Mou Yu went to Sheng'an Kingdom to be a spy, he entered the Grand Princess's Mansion, and was mainly responsible for teaching Ouyang Mou, the son of Mou Yu and Ouyang Yue.
He also helps Ouyang Yue with things, such as setting up an array to prevent King Ning from escaping, casting a spell to open an ancient tomb, etc. Whenever black magic is needed, he is the one who steps in.
"Princess, no."
Mou Cheng advised calmly, looking very casual.
"I clearly sent him back to Sheng'an a long time ago. He wanted to come back on his own. Now he wants me to compensate him. This is really unreasonable."
Ever since Ouyang Yue heard about the compensation plan proposed by Sheng Anguo, she has been so angry that she wanted to vomit three liters of blood.
No one has come to look for Prince Ning since he was thrown into her house, but now he comes to her to ask for compensation. He is really calculating.
Why would a Ning Wang who was eaten by insects and looked like an old man want three million taels of silver and five cities? Is he worthy of it?
"None of the people sent to escort him back came back. There is no one to testify to this, so the envoys of Sheng An will not believe it."
Mou Cheng's tone was still indifferent, as if he was talking about something unimportant.
"I'm afraid no one would dare to recognize him in his current state. As long as I don't admit that he is Prince Ning, what can those envoys from Sheng'an do to me?"
Ouyang Yue racked her brains to think of a way to escape.
The envoy from Sheng Anguo had just arrived a few days ago, and the fact that Prince Ning was in her house was just a rumor.
As long as she killed Prince Ning or refused to admit it, the people of Sheng'an Kingdom would not be able to hold her back.
"Princess, I heard that the envoys from Sheng'an have a portrait of Prince Ning after he was bewitched. The reason they want three million taels of silver as compensation is because Prince Ning has become like this."
Mou Cheng had found out the news clearly, and he did not expect that the envoy of Sheng Anguo had made such thorough preparations.
Chu Chengyi had long anticipated what Ouyang Yue was thinking. He had painted the portrait of Prince Ning himself and asked the imperial teacher to deliver it to Emperor Yongping.
Don't admit it? No chance at all.
Even if Ouyang Yue dared to poison Prince Ning and make him mute, he prepared a good medicine for the envoy that could help Prince Ning recover.
"Then throw Prince Ning to Ouyang Qing's mansion before they find him. Those Sheng'an people will never find me anyway."
When Ouyang Yue saw Prince Ning falling from the sky again, she actually thought about throwing him into Ouyang Qing's mansion.
But Prince Ning promised that he would let Sheng Anguo send her money and a prince, so she endured the discomfort and took him in.
Unexpectedly, in the end, he would actually blame me.
"Princess, I think this matter is worth a try."
After saying this, Mou Cheng looked at Ouyang Yue, wanting to see how she would react.
He was happy to see Ouyang Yue and Ouyang Qing fighting.
"You go and do this for me. If an ordinary person goes, Ouyang Qing will definitely find out."
Ouyang Yue glanced at Mou Cheng, as if asking what he thought, but also as if indicating that he had better not refuse.
"Grand Princess, I can go, but I have a condition. If you agree, I will not refuse."
Mou Cheng's expression relaxed a little, and his eyes revealed a barely perceptible expectation.
"No, I don't agree."
Ouyang Yue obviously knew what Mou Cheng meant by the condition and refused without hesitation.
"Then I am sorry that I can't do anything about it."
Mou Cheng waved his hand indifferently, then turned and left, leaving Ouyang Yue alone, who continued to sit there and think of a solution.
The Second Prince's Mansion of Ouyang Qing was heavily guarded. Not to mention a living person, even if you threw a fly in, you would probably be chased across several streets.
If the secret guards and private soldiers she raised were to face Ouyang Qing's men, their chances of winning would not be great.
Besides, the current situation is not suitable for her to take any action.
Why not agree to Mou Cheng's conditions?
......
"Master, Little Gourd has figured out a way to avoid confronting the Black Witch."
Although the little gourd has hope for the person in the sarcophagus, it is not the kind of person who will sit and wait for death.
So, I read the ancient books, studied the talismans, and of course watched the videos closely.
Now it finally sees hope.
"Oh? What can I do?"
Chu Qinshu tried her best to memorize all the books she had read in her previous life, but she didn't find much useful information.
She is far from being able to deal with the black witch.
"Ouyang Mou, we can solve the problem by taking Ouyang Mou away from the Grand Princess's Mansion."
Xiao Hulu pointed at the paused video, enlarged one of the bullet screens, and motioned Chu Qinshu to look at it.
