readx(); After saying that, Wang Chuan also looked at the person in front of him carefully, then frowned and asked, "Lady Li?"
Feng Yuheng nodded. The Sixth Prince's biological mother, Concubine Li, who was deprived of her position as a concubine, was standing more than twenty steps in front of them. She had her back to the two of them and was facing Yuehan Palace. She didn't know what she was doing. Feng Yuheng stopped and didn't move forward. She looked carefully for a while. Seeing that Concubine Li didn't make any further moves, she just stood there and looked. She felt even more strange. She pulled Wangchuan forward and deliberately made her footsteps louder. After walking more than ten steps, the person in front finally realized that there was someone behind her. She looked back cautiously. When she found that it was Feng Yuheng, she was obviously startled, and then hurried away and ran to the inner courtyard of the harem.
"Should we chase her?" Wang Chuan asked Feng Yuheng, "It seems that Lady Li has bad intentions. Why don't we let this servant chase her back and interrogate her about what she is doing?"
Feng Yuheng shook his head, "No need, we don't have the right to interrogate the concubines in the harem, let's see what she has done first." As he said that, he walked forward and stopped again at the place where Li Guiren had stood, then lowered his head and searched carefully on the ground.
Wangchuan was puzzled: "Miss, what are you looking for?"
She asked Wangchuan: "Do you remember when Concubine Li cast a spell on me at the hunting ground? That kind of evil magic of pricking a doll with a needle is also called witchcraft, which is a very vicious method. Although I don't know what kind of spell she cast, once I am really trapped by her, it will be very troublesome to remove the spell."
Wang Chuan was startled, then asked again: "Didn't Miss say last time that you didn't believe that?"
"I don't believe that Lady Li can do that, but I don't deny that witchcraft really exists in this world. But even if we don't believe it, we can't let our guard down. If Lady Li really can do it and we ignore it, she might harm more people. Come with me and look around to see if there is anything nearby. She has been standing here for who knows how long, and it's obviously impossible to say that she didn't move at all."
Wangchuan saw that she was serious, so he also took it to heart, and quickly lowered his head to look for it, and even ran to the garden next to it to look for it. But the two of them searched for a long time and found nothing, so Wangchuan said: "Maybe we are too suspicious, or maybe Lady Li has only been here for a short time, and we ran into her before she had a chance to do anything. Is the witchcraft that the young lady said really powerful? What will happen if you are hit? Will you die? Or will you feel pain? It's really strange, isn't that the same as a spell? If this can harm people, then what is the point of us suffering so much from childhood to adulthood to practice martial arts? We might as well just stab villains instead."
Feng Yuheng smiled bitterly: "It's not as simple as you say. Not everyone can pierce a villain to cast a Gu. Learning Gu is not as simple as you say. Although it is much easier than practicing martial arts physically, the mental and physical torture is unbearable for ordinary people. Because once the Gu technique fails during practice, there is a high probability that it will backfire on the person who casts the Gu. To be able to practice a good Gu technique, you may have been injured by your own Gu many times since childhood. The lightest injury is a body injury, but the most serious one may even lose your life halfway through."
"So serious?" Wang Chuan had not expected this, but she had heard something about Gu magic before, so she continued, "It is said that most people who use Gu magic come from the northwest. When His Highness the Ninth Prince went to the northwest, he also encountered some. It is said that they were Miao people."
"That's right." Feng Yuheng nodded and said, "I didn't expect that you guys here also call them Miao people, but I can't say for sure what the place where those Miao people who know Gu magic live is called now. Our place is called Xiangxi."
Wangchuan was a little confused, "Where are you?"
Feng Yuheng smiled and didn't explain. Wang Chuan didn't like to ask questions like Huang Quan did. Seeing that the young lady didn't answer, he automatically avoided the topic and told Feng Yuheng, "It is now called Xiangxi. The Ninth Prince once said that there are many Miao people living deep in the mountains of Xiangxi. They know a very strange magic and should not be easily provoked. Speaking of which, the young lady was sent to the mountains in the northwest by the Feng family, which should be not far from Xiangxi."
Feng Yuheng was stunned for a moment, and then she realized that if it was based on the geographical location, it was indeed not far from the Miao area, but in her memory, the original owner had never met the Miao people, and the village was also full of Han people. She shook her head, "I don't know, I was still young at that time and didn't understand anything. But the place where I live is full of Han people, that's right, they all speak Chinese, if they are Miao people, they should speak Miao language." As she spoke, she straightened up and told Wangchuan: "No need to look for it anymore, this place should not have been left with anything special. After entering Yuehan Palace, I will talk to the servants in the palace and ask them to pay more attention on weekdays. Regardless of whether that Li Guiren really knows Gu, her appearance here today is always something worth noting, and we can't take it lightly."
"Can't you cure someone who's been poisoned by a Gu?" Wang Chuan didn't know much about Gu. In fact, many people didn't know much about Gu, but when they heard the word, they would feel scared. "People often say Gu is poisonous, Gu is poisonous, so is Gu a poison? If it is a poison, it should be able to be cured."
Feng Yuheng shook her head. "Gu is not a poison. It is a man-made method. Gu is not only used to harm people, it can also save people. Being poisoned by Gu is not completely hopeless. As long as the person who casts the spell is willing to help him get rid of it, he can still be cured. But... unfortunately, I can't cure it, because Gu is not a disease. Even if I have medical methods that transcend this era, I can't fight against Gu." As she spoke, she also waved her hand and told Wangchuan: "But don't worry. In my opinion, even if the noble lady Li knows some small tricks, they are all very elementary and can't be used. Even if she harms people, it's just to make people get a minor illness, or toss for two days. She won't know any more powerful Gu techniques."
As the two were talking, they also arrived at the gate of Yuehan Palace. Someone inside had already been informed that Feng Yuheng was coming this way, and the palace gate opened when the two of them approached. The head female official Su Yu came out to greet them, bowed respectfully to Feng Yuheng, and then took her to Concubine Yun's bedroom.
Concubine Yun was lazily lying on a soft couch, with a maid massaging her legs. She looked like she was having a very comfortable life. When she saw Feng Yuheng coming over, she quickly let go of the maid and waved at Feng Yuheng: "Heng, come quickly."
Feng Yuheng smiled and walked forward, bowed to Concubine Yun, and observed Concubine Yun's complexion for a while before nodding with satisfaction: "Mother, your complexion is good, and your daughter-in-law is relieved."
"You sit or lie down all day, eat all the time, how can your complexion be bad? But you, how come I look thinner again?" Concubine Yun pinched Feng Yuheng's arm unhappily, and said disdainfully: "Too thin, Ah Heng, you have to eat more good things, you can't be so thin all the time. Mother tells you that not all men like sickly women. Although such women are lovable, they look depressed, and a few days is enough. If you want to subdue a man, you still have to be energetic and healthy, so that you can deal with those three wives and four concubines in the mansion." When she said this, she suddenly thought of something, and then she laughed "hehe", waved her hands and said: "I am worrying too much, Ming'er doesn't marry so many women, you don't need to worry about this. But you have to take good care of your body. You are a doctor, you can't take care of other people's bodies and put your own aside."
Feng Yuheng smiled and sat down beside her, gently holding Concubine Yun's hand and said, "I've remembered what you said, mother. I'll eat more in the future. I promise that I'll be plump the next time I see you."
Concubine Yun nodded with satisfaction, "This is a good child." Then she reached out to stroke Feng Yuheng's hair. As she stroked, she asked casually, "What's going on over there in Qiankun Hall? Is the old man's waist broken? If it's really broken, don't treat it. It deserves it!"
Feng Yuheng was helpless. She was obviously concerned, but the words were not pleasing to hear when Yun Fei said them. Only those who knew her knew that Yun Fei had gone through countless mental struggles before saying such unpleasant words. So she told Yun Fei: "Father's waist is not seriously injured. Ah Heng gave him acupuncture and plaster. He will be fine in a few days. Don't worry, mother."
"Rest assured? Ha! I don't care at all!" Concubine Yun still insisted, "The old man has a wife and concubines, and so many people are lining up to care about him. I'm too lazy to join in the fun." After saying that, she fiddled with her fingernails uncomfortably. She twisted a long nail so much that a gem on it was almost knocked off.
Feng Yuheng sighed softly, and said, "You clearly care about me, so why can't we get back together? Mother, your father has waited for more than 20 years and never touched any other woman. Can't you... forgive him? After all, all those things happened before I met you!"
Yun Fei looked at her and smiled again. At her age, she still looked innocent when she smiled. Time had really taken a very gentle toll on her, leaving almost no traces. During this smile, Feng Yu Heng could almost feel the same feeling that Tian Wu had when he first met Yun Fei. The mountains were pure as a stream and bright as a butterfly, which made him linger for so many years and never give up.
"It will never be the same again." Concubine Yun finally stopped laughing and said to Feng Yuxing seriously, "For so many years, I have been accustomed to this kind of life. I walked out of the village, and the mountain burned the village. I was destined to have no home and could never go back to that place. But I refused to bow my head. After all, he deceived me when I met him. This is a hurdle in my heart that I can't get over no matter what. Ah Heng, this is my fate. Everyone has their own fate. People of our age are very persistent and believe in fate." She looked at Feng Yuheng as she spoke, and then turned to Feng Yuheng-"I know why you are so thin, and I also know why you rarely come to the palace to see me, because your life outside the palace is not satisfactory. Yao disappeared, Feng Jinyuan also ran away, and that fake daughter went to other provinces with her family of three to live freely. You don't show anything on your face, but you are bitter in your heart. I know this."
Feng Yuheng nodded and followed Concubine Yun's words: "This is also my fate."
Concubine Yun laughed again: "You see, we all believe in fate."
The two smiled at each other, but Su Yu came in at this time and whispered something in Concubine Yun's ear. Concubine Yun's smile widened, and she immediately said to Feng Yu Heng, "Let's go. I won't keep you any longer. Leave the palace quickly."
Feng Yuheng was stunned. "My daughter-in-law wanted to have dinner with mother before leaving." She stroked her stomach as she spoke, "I'm hungry."
"I won't keep you for dinner today, hurry up and leave." Concubine Yun began to drive people away. As she was driving them away, Feng Yuheng seemed to understand something, and her eyes suddenly lit up -
