Chapter 116: Removing the Gu Spell



Mingyue thought for a moment and said, "If you want the emperor's empty body to recover faster, you can add some nourishing herbs, such as Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng, to warm it up during the treatment process."

Su Xi wrote all of this down.

The next day, Zhao Ji took out a small porcelain bottle of blood from his clothes and poured it into the medicine in front of Mingyue and the eunuch Su Xi.

It’s strange to say, the dark brown medicine immediately turned dark blue after coming into contact with blood.

Then the chief eunuch immediately served the emperor and made him drink all the medicine.

At the same time, the servants in the flower room asked for the flowers to be delivered as usual, after all, they could not alert the enemy.

However, every time the flowers were brought to the emperor, they could not even enter the house. Zhao Ji threw them into the side hall behind the bedroom and sprinkled lime on them and burned them according to the method of the Mingyue Sect.

I clean everything every day.

After drinking the dark blue medicine, the emperor's complexion became slightly more rosy than before.

The emperor's health improved that day. Before drinking the medicine, he was not awake for even a stick of incense every day.

After drinking the medicine, the emperor woke up for two incense sticks of time that day.

For fear of upsetting the emperor, Su Xi and the others agreed to speak with one voice at the beginning and decided not to tell the emperor about this matter.

But the matter is also being investigated secretly. After all, even if we are telling the emperor about this, we have to provide solid evidence.

During the two incense sticks of time that the emperor was awake, he only said that he had a headache. He said he had a headache every day during this period and wanted to open his eyes every day, but his eyelids seemed to be held down by someone and he couldn't open them.

Zhao Ji only went over some important matters with the emperor. Before he finished talking about the last thing, the emperor fell into a deep sleep again.

But everyone saw the emperor's visible improvement.

Su Xi's last bit of doubt about Ming Yue also disappeared.

After all, in this palace, Zhao Ji absolutely hopes that the emperor will get better.

The emperor was given witchcraft medicine to drink every day for three consecutive days, and he was visibly awake more often.

The servants in the flower room received Su Xi's orders to record the people who came into contact with the bouquets of flowers in the emperor's bedroom every day.

Gradually, a booklet was formed.

When the emperor was able to be lucid for two hours a day, Mingyue told Zhao Ji that the toxins in the emperor's body had almost been eliminated.

What is lacking now is just nutrients, the nutrients that the body needs.

That is to say, from now on, the emperor must eat, instead of relying on the medicinal properties of herbs to warm his body. As the emperor replenishes the deficient parts of his body, he will no longer be as sleepy as he is now.

After Mingyue finished speaking, Suxi's eyes suddenly lit up, and even her voice was choked with sobs: "Thank you, young lady. If you hadn't pointed out the secret in time and contributed the solution, I'm afraid the emperor..."

Although the eunuch Su Xi did not finish his words, everyone knew what he meant by the rest of his words.

Originally Su Xi planned to say a few good words to this woman after the emperor woke up. After all, she was the emperor's lifesaver.

But Mingyue keenly noticed Suxi's plan and said with a smile: "I am only entrusted by Lord Zhao Ji, and it just happens to involve my shallow knowledge, so I can make such a contribution to the emperor. If you want to thank someone with the emperor, you should thank Lord Zhao Ji first!"

"I am just a little girl from the common people. I know some rumors about Southern Xinjiang because someone in my clan has been there. I heard that the relationship between the Celestial Empire and Southern Xinjiang is not so good now, so there is no need to introduce me to the emperor."

When the chief eunuch Su Xi heard this, he thought that Mingyue was afraid of being blamed by the emperor because her family had some ties with southern Xinjiang, so she didn't force it.

Su Xi planned to wait until the emperor woke up and then tell him that all this was discovered by Zhao Ji, and that it was Zhao Ji who found a capable person to remove the witchcraft.

Zhao Ji looked at Mingyue deeply. He naturally knew that Mingyue said this because she didn't want to be too deeply involved with the emperor.

From Mingyue's series of behaviors, Zhao Ji keenly felt that if it wasn't the concubines in the cold palace who taught her, then it must be Mingyue's biological mother, Lingxi, the Saint of Southern Xinjiang, who must have taught Mingyue not to recognize the emperor.

However, Mingyue is kind-hearted and always cares about the blood ties, so she contributes some blood every day to treat the emperor.

While Zhao Ji was investigating in the harem, the imperial city was not peaceful either.

It was nothing more than that the aides of each family became closer to each other, and there were unknown adults meeting in the private rooms of teahouses in the capital every day.

I guess many people took advantage of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

The prefect of Jingzhao was very distressed. The emperor was not in a conscious state during this period. The children of noble families were still okay, as they were bound by family rules. However, it was not the same for some royal relatives.

For example, the mother's family of the virtuous concubine in the palace began to act arrogantly in the imperial city.

The virtuous concubine has a little prince. Although the little prince is not yet an adult, he is quite smart.

To be honest, he was not outstanding in the palace, but he could not compare with the princes above him. Except for the third prince, who was relatively quiet now, the other princes were either imprisoned or locked up in the clan house for various reasons.

As a result, the situation gave some confidence to Concubine Xian's mother's family. In addition, Concubine Xian's mother's family was a marquisate, and it had been a marquisate since the time of the founding emperor.

It can also be considered a noble family.

Naturally, he has some assets left by his ancestors, which makes the prince of Zhen'an Marquis Mansion a little arrogant.

The prince of the Zhen'an Marquis's Mansion has always gotten along well with the little princes in the palace, and usually treats them as brothers.

The prince is still young, so he naturally doesn't understand these things. However, the eldest son of the Zhen'an Marquis's Mansion is not ignorant, but he is still so naughty every day.

It just so happens that the Zhen'an Marquis's Mansion is not very prosperous, and the people in such a prince's mansion all pamper him, so naturally no one will teach this prince to suffer.

The Emperor is now weak and ill, and I'm afraid the Prince of the Zhen'an Marquis's Mansion also knows some of the family's schemes. He walks on the road with his back straight, which is even more annoying than his usual flirting with cats and dogs.

This was because of the incident of forcibly abducting a woman, and the matter was reported to Jingzhao Prefecture.

It was unlucky for the prefect of Jingzhao. He was an honest official, but he was assigned to such an important position in the capital.

It is said to be important, but in fact it is the most offensive part.

If they favor the royal descendants and nobles, or the high-ranking officials of the aristocratic families, there are many powerful people in the capital who dare to beat the drum to report the incident.
