Chapter 289: One wave after another
When Wei Qingyan arrived, the doctor had not yet arrived and Gong Jun was still unconscious.
"Qingyan, come and check on Jun'er."
Seeing her sister coming, Wei Shiran seemed to have found her backbone, and hurriedly pulled her daughter-in-law to make room in front of the bed.
When she saw the talisman spontaneously combust, she knew that it must have been the talisman that saved her son, so she hurriedly stuffed the talisman hanging around her neck into her son's arms.
He also asked Wei Shijun, who was good at light work, to take Gong Jin to invite Wei Qingyan, and then sent people to invite the doctor and notify Gong Mingcheng.
"Don't be afraid." Wei Qingyan comforted her and sat down beside the bed.
She touched Gong Jun's hand, which was cold and his eyebrows were dark blue.
Wei Qingyan hurriedly drew a soul-soothing talisman out of thin air and pushed it into Gong Jun's forehead.
When she sat down beside Gong Jun's bed, Wei Shiran took everyone out.
Shi Yu stayed in the room.
"how?"
Seeing Wei Qingyan stop, Shi Yu asked.
Wei Qingyan's eyes were gloomy, "The real cause of death of Wang Zhi and the others should be the loss of their three souls and seven spirits.
Gong Jun's soul is gone. If he hadn't had the talisman on him to resist and we hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid he would have become the second Wang Zhi in less than an hour.
I need to bring Gong Jun back to life immediately.
Shi Yu, quickly send people to the various medical clinics in the city to check if there are any records of Jinshi or students being treated for colds recently."
She now understood why these people had symptoms of cold.
The three souls and seven spirits are being extracted bit by bit. People with incomplete souls and spirits are afraid of cold and lack energy. Aren’t these symptoms of a cold?
But how do the people behind the scenes know who will pass the exam?
Unless the plan is set up after passing the exam, but after passing the exam, everyone will disperse. How can we plot against all these people at the same time?
Wei Qingyan felt that it was more likely that they were plotted before the exam. There must have been some chance that allowed the person behind the scenes to obtain their horoscopes, hair, or blood as a carrier.
But if this is the case, it cannot be ruled out that the people behind the scenes will also attack the students who failed the exam.
Therefore, students who failed the exam must also be included in the prevention plan.
Shi Yu also thought of this and said, "Immediately report this to my father and ask him to investigate the person who searched the students before the exam."
According to the laws of the Wei Dynasty, in order to prevent cheating during the imperial examinations, even the braids had to be untied for inspection during the body search.
Most of the people who searched were rude, and it was common for them to pull students' hair and hurt them, but the students would not suspect anything.
If someone uses the excuse of a body search to hide a student's hair...
Wei Qingyan's eyes were dark.
They had not thought of this before because Wang Zhi and Shen Hongxing were ordinary students, and the people who searched them were paid by the court.
"In the makeup box in my room, there are about a dozen amulets I drew. I would like to ask the emperor to find a reason to give these amulets to the Jinshi students who have symptoms of cold.
If the clinic cannot find the cause for the time being, then please ask your father to select a scholar with good character to reward him, and the rest will be dealt with after I bring back Gong Jun's soul.
During this period, I need you to personally protect the Dharma and not allow anyone to disturb me."
From what she knew about these three people, they were all people of good character. Perhaps this was one of their common points.
In this case, the people behind the scenes are even more hateful.
Although the amulet could not completely protect them, it could at least provide some resistance, perhaps allowing them to wait until she could come to rescue them.
"I'll arrange it right away. Please wait for me for a moment." Upon hearing this, Shi Yu hurriedly turned around and went out.
Outside the door, Gong Mingcheng got the news and rushed over. When he saw his wife, he asked, "Why did Jun'er faint?"
When the servant left, he had just received a message from Shi Yu about the accidents involving Wang Zhi and Shen Hongxing, asking him to pay attention to the situation of the candidates for the imperial examination in the spring.
When he heard that his eldest son had an accident, he was so frightened that he didn't even take the carriage, but rode all the way here.
Wei Shiran couldn't hear the noise inside, and with anxious eyes, she told him her son's condition in detail. When he heard that the amulet had spontaneously combusted, Gong Mingcheng's legs went weak.
He recalled how Shi Chengze, unwilling to reincarnate, had used the talisman to self-ignite, wanting to turn into ashes. Jun'er...
Fortunately, before Gong Mingcheng could scare himself to death, the door was opened.
Shi Yu glanced at the group of people gathered outside the door. Except for Madam Wei and Wei Shijun who had just arrived in the capital, everyone else already knew that Wei Qingyan was proficient in occult arts.
He did not hide it and told everyone about Gong Jun's situation and Wei Qingyan's instructions.
"Can my husband's soul be retrieved? What if we can't?" Gong Jun's wife Zhou asked in a trembling voice.
She returned to her parents' home and did not participate in the Gong family's previous resolution of the grudge.
Afterwards, Wei Qingyan became sworn relatives to the Gong family and had more contact with her. Although he heard that she had some extraordinary abilities, he had never seen them with his own eyes, so he was very worried.
Time was running out, so Shi Yu only replied, "Qingyan will do his best."
Qingyan didn't say whether it could be recovered or not, and he didn't know, but he knew that there were more important things at the moment.
"Dongzang, return home immediately, bring the princess's amulet to the palace, and inform His Majesty of this matter."
Shi Yu ordered, "Jingzhe, you will be in charge of the City Medical Clinic. You must be quick. Pass on my order and have Huimin Medical Clinic assist you."
Then he looked at Gong Mingcheng and said, "Sir Gong, this matter is of great importance. The Jinshi students are the pillars of the Great Wei and the future of the Great Wei.
His Majesty will certainly order the Dali Temple and the Ministry of Justice to take over this matter. Lord Gong should return to the Dali Temple to prepare. The pillars of the Wei Dynasty cannot afford to lose again."
"Okay." Gong Mingcheng glanced inside the door. Although he was worried, he knew that he could do nothing about chasing the soul.
If Qingyan can be saved, he will definitely not refuse.
Since Qingyan was trapped here to save his son, he should help Qingyan save other Jinshi students.
Because those people will be Qingyan's ministers in the future, and will help her govern the country.
Thinking of this, he took out his amulet from his arms and handed it to Dong Zang, "I am not a Jinshi student, so I can't use it for the time being. You can take it into the palace and give it to others who need it."
He just heard Shi Yu say that Qing Yan only had a dozen or so amulets drawn, which was not enough.
Right now, Qingyan has to save Gong Jun and has no time to paint.
"Donggua and I are not students, so we'll give you ours." Gong Jin picked his own fruit with one hand and pulled Donggua's with the other.
The Gong family was once burdened by resentment. Wei Qingyan gave each of the masters of the Gong family an amulet. Since Donggua followed her to learn martial arts, she also prepared one for Donggua.
"And me." Zhou turned her back and took out her own amulet, but when she saw the one hanging around her son's neck, she finally bit her lip and didn't take his.
Her son was too young and had been sick before, so she didn't dare put him at risk.
Shi Yu didn't even think of asking a child to give up his amulet, so he signaled Dong Zang to act quickly.
Gong Mingcheng stomped his feet and stormed out of the house.
The Minister of the Dali Temple was a supporter of the deposed crown prince. After the deposed crown prince was overthrown, he was afraid of being attacked by the emperor, so he used the excuse of recuperating from illness to give up his power.
The person in charge of the Dali Temple now is Gong Mingcheng, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple. He will definitely investigate thoroughly who is helping outsiders harm the students of Dawei.
Shi Yu did not delay, turned around and went into the house, closed the door, and protected Wei Qingyan.
Finally, Zhou couldn't stand anymore and collapsed to the ground.
Wei Shiran couldn't bear it, so she quickly helped her up and comforted her, "Don't be afraid, trust your aunt, and also trust Jun'er. He is tough by nature, and he will definitely come back with you if he knows that your aunt is going to save him.
He is a lucky man, and nothing will happen to him. Nothing will happen to him."
These words are to comfort my daughter-in-law and also to comfort myself.
Everyone waited outside the door for an hour, but the room was quiet and there was no movement.
Gong Jun's youngest son knew what had happened at home, and was very well behaved today. He waited with the adults and then fell asleep.
Gong Jin saw that his sister-in-law was in a trance and didn't even notice that the child had fallen asleep. He also saw that Madam Wei clasped her hands together and prayed to the gods and Buddhas in the sky, and her spirit was visibly declining.
He then used the excuse that the child was sleepy and asked Madam Wei to take the child to rest, in order to coax the old lady to rest as well.
How could the old lady not know what he was thinking? However, she was old and worried, so she was indeed extremely tired.
He nodded.
If she falls ill again, she will be a burden to the children.
However, just as they stood up and hadn't left, they saw Dong Zang running over and shouting, "Oh no! Tanhualang has also fainted."
