Xuan Tianmo looked at Concubine Yuan, who was still lying on the ground, dying in pain. He actually wanted to ask the Gu Master what happened and why the situation suddenly became like this. But Concubine Yuan looked at him with hatred, and the mother-son feud was a foregone conclusion, so he couldn't even ask.
But Concubine Li suddenly spoke up, staring at Xuan Tianmo and Concubine Yuan and loudly questioned: "Why do you wrongly accuse me of harming the emperor? When did I ever cast a spell to harm the emperor?"
As soon as Concubine Li spoke, Xuan Tianfeng also said to the Queen: "Please investigate this matter, Queen. I believe that my mother will not do anything to harm my father, and I don't believe that my mother knows any poisonous techniques. Moreover, if she really can use poisonous techniques to control my father, she should pray for her and my favor, and not for Concubine Yuan and my eighth brother."
The queen nodded, "Feng'er is right."
"No!" Concubine Yuan suddenly screamed, "It was Concubine Li who did it. She is Mo'er's aunt. Helping Mo'er is helping herself. One day in the future, when Mo'er ascends to the throne, she will also have a good position. She mentioned this matter to me before, but I didn't agree. I didn't expect that she would still insist on doing it. Her bracelet! She has a bracelet with a Gu in it!"
When Concubine Yuan mentioned the bracelet, Concubine Li was shocked and stretched out her wrist and replied, "Are you talking about this one? You brought this bracelet to me! It was said that our grandmother gave each of us one. You have one and I have one too. Why is there a Gu hidden in it? I don't know, I really don't know anything!"
Concubine Li was a little upset. Although she often did some weird things, she really had never harmed Emperor Tianwu. If she was exposed for cursing Xuan Tianming today, she would have to admit it, after all, she had done it. But what did the sudden change in Emperor Tianwu's temperament have to do with her? How could it be blamed on her?
Concubine Yuan refused to give in and insisted that there was a Gu in the bracelet. At this time, Xuan Tianming suddenly spoke up and said, "We will know if there is a Gu once we check it out. We will also know where the Gu came from once we check it out. Concubine Yuan, why are you so anxious?" After he finished speaking, he led a person who entered the palace with him to his side and said to everyone, "To be honest, this person is the King of Gu Shu. He has entered the capital a few days ago and has been living in the Tianyu Palace. Gu Shu is very proficient in Gu techniques, so as to whether there is a Gu in the bracelet, why not ask the King of Gu Shu to test it for you?"
When they heard that the King of Ancient Shu was coming, everyone was a little confused, including the Queen. However, the Queen was a smart person. She thought that the change in Emperor Tianwu's temperament was not common sense. And today, he suddenly vomited so many snakes. Even if she was ignorant, she should understand that it was related to Gu Shu. Gu Shu was popular in the South Realm, and Ancient Shu was the most proficient in it. In the past few months, Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng had been very low-key. She once thought that the two of them were not going to care about it. Until today, she found out that they had already thought of the matter of Emperor Tianwu being poisoned by Gu, and had been thinking of a way. Now that she saw the King of Ancient Shu suddenly appear, she finally understood what Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng had thought of.
The best way to cure Gu is to cure Gu with Gu. And who can be called the best Gu master? It must be the king of ancient Shu.
The queen nodded, looked at the ancient Shu monarch with gratitude, and said, "Thank you for your help, Your Majesty. When the emperor wakes up, I will thank you in person."
As soon as this was said, everyone who was a little smart understood why Emperor Tianwu suddenly woke up. It turned out that the Ninth Prince had made a big move and invited the King of Ancient Shu to help. They didn't know why the emperor suddenly favored Concubine Yuan and the Eighth Prince. It's not that no one has discussed it privately, but people are just guessing and can't be sure. What's more, how dare Concubine Yuan to put a Gu on the emperor? Where did she invite the Gu master from?
It was not until today when people heard that the emperor vomited a bunch of small snakes from his stomach that they became convinced that he had been poisoned.
The sudden appearance of the ancient Shu king plunged Concubine Yuan into despair. Although she knew that there must be a Gu hidden in Concubine Li's bracelet, because she put the Gu in with her own hands, she originally thought that if Concubine Li regained her favor at that time, and if the emperor treated Concubine Li well, she could at least use the Gu to control Concubine Li and gain some benefits for herself. The Gu worm was brought in by someone outside the palace, from the Gu master, who taught her the method, which was very simple and easy to operate, and she could control it herself. But Concubine Li was just restored to the position of concubine and lived in Changning Palace, and she did not get any further benefits, so she let the matter go. Until today, when she was desperate, she thought of exposing Concubine Li, because Concubine Li had a Gu, so she decided to let Concubine Li take the blame.
But in front of the king of ancient Shu and the master of witchcraft, can I still tell this lie?
Xuan Tianmo was so mad at the king of the ancient Shu Kingdom that his teeth itched. He pointed at him and said, "You are the king of a foreign country. Why didn't you come to the palace to pay respect to the emperor before entering the capital? You actually lived in the Prince Yu's mansion? You are an expert in witchcraft. You must have caused my father's illness, right?"
Fan Tianli almost laughed when he heard this. He asked Xuan Tianmo, "Just now you firmly believed that it was Concubine Li who did it. Now it's only been a short while and you're shifting the blame onto me? Eighth Prince of Dashun, is it really okay for you to do this?" After saying this, he bowed deeply to the queen and said, "I greet the queen. I hope you'll forgive me for coming here early."
The Queen smiled and said, "What are you saying, Lord Gu Shu? You arrived in time and saved the Emperor from danger. You are the benefactor of Dashun. I am grateful to you, so how can I forgive you? The palace is in chaos today, and Lord Gu Shu is making fun of me. But since things have come to this, please be a good person and take another look at what is so strange about Concubine Li's bracelet?"
The King of Ancient Shu returned the greeting, and Xuan Tianming asked someone to fetch Concubine Li's bracelet. For a moment, everyone's attention was focused on this side, staring at it, waiting for the King of Ancient Shu to identify it.
The Sixth Prince Xuan Tianfeng spoke up at this time: "The bracelet was given by Concubine Yuan, and it was not originally owned by my mother. Since Concubine Yuan insisted that there was a Gu inside, I wonder if the king can tell when the Gu was put into the bracelet?"
After saying this, Concubine Yuan was obviously startled. She hadn't thought of this. She hadn't thought that it could be seen when it was put in. But what if it was seen? She thought, as long as she insisted, this matter could not be concluded rashly. The king of ancient Shu also opened his mouth, and she also opened her mouth. Why should she listen to the other party's one-sided words?
She tried to stay alert, but the blood from her broken finger made her look a little scary, her face was very pale, and she was even staggering when she stood up. But no one was willing to help her, including her son Xuan Tianmo.
The ancient Shu king was an expert in using Gu. The bracelet showed the secret at a glance, but it was not clear when the Gu was put in. He just said, "There is also a Gu in this bracelet, but now the Gu is dead, and it just died. Obviously, it is the same Gu that the Dashun emperor was infected with."
Upon hearing this, the one who was most happy was Concubine Yuan. She said loudly, "Yes! Concubine Li had an accident with the Gu, so the emperor is now awake and her Gu is dead. That's what happened! Queen, you heard it! The emperor was harmed by Concubine Li's Gu!"
"No, no." The King of Ancient Shu shook his head and said, "The death of the Gu is due to the death of the person who raised the Gu, or the death of the Gu will also lead to the death of the person who raised the Gu. Now Concubine Li is fine, which means that the Gu has nothing to do with her. Of course, the Imperial Concubine can also say that the Gu was raised by someone else for Concubine Li, so now let's go find the person who raised the Gu!"
Everyone in the palace trembled when they heard this. Someone raising Gu? Gu technique? When did this kind of thing sneak into the palace? Even the emperor fell for it? It's so scary!
The Queen was also puzzled: "Where can I find the person who raises the Gu?"
At this time, a clear female voice was heard, "Of course we have to go to Cunshan Palace to take a look. Our Imperial Concubine has a beautiful man hidden in her golden house!" People turned around and saw Feng Yuheng walking out from the side hall, saying as she walked, "The Emperor is fine now, he just needs to rest, the Empress can go in to visit him later. But before the visit, we have to find out who poisoned the Emperor." As she spoke, she looked at Imperial Concubine Yuan and said, "My Imperial Concubine, can you send someone to search Cunshan Palace?"
She was just asking. In fact, outside Zhaohe Palace at this time, who could really ask Concubine Yuan whether she agreed or not? As soon as the words came out, the Queen had already sent people to Cunshan Palace.
Concubine Yuan wanted to stop them, but to do so would be to cover up her guilt, so she could only endure it, thinking that the secret room might not be discovered by anyone.
However, the more you fear something, the more likely it is to happen. The place you think is impossible to be found is easily found. Of course, it is easy because there is someone to guide you, and the person who guides you is Yuan Guifei's personal maid, Yuexiu.
Yuexiu discovered the secret room today. If she wanted to survive, she had to betray Concubine Yuan and find a way to make a contribution. When people fished the Gu Master's body out of the water and carried it to the front of Zhaohe Hall, Concubine Yuan was completely desperate. △≧△≧△≧△≧
The person was found at her place, so it was impossible for her to frame Concubine Li again. Concubine Li also suddenly understood why she had brought the person into the palace, but he suddenly disappeared. It turned out that he was really taken away by Concubine Yuan.
She really wanted to speak about this, but the Sixth Prince Xuan Tianfeng felt something was wrong, so he reminded her in a low voice: "It's not something that should be said, mother, it's better not to say it." With these words, he stopped Concubine Li from speaking.
Concubine Yuan had nothing to say, so she pretended to faint by pointing at her finger. However, the Eighth Prince Xuan Tianmo became alert at this time, and pointed directly at Concubine Yuan and said, "Evil woman! You actually colluded with outsiders to harm my father! How could I have a mother like you?"
With just one sentence, Concubine Yuan, who had fainted, came back to life. The revived Concubine Yuan rushed to Xuan Tianmo and started fighting him, saying, "You're scolding me now? Who did I do this for in the first place? If I hadn't let him be poisoned, you would have been beheaded long ago!"
"Then you can't harm my father!"
"I wasn't the only one who killed your father! You were also involved! You agreed to this!"
The mother and son started fighting like this. They no longer had the bearing of a noble concubine or a prince. They were fighting like two street hooligans and a shrew. In front of everyone, they lost their most noble status...
