The emperor was surprised. He had heard that Ye Xingchen could draw talismans, and they seemed to sell very well, but he didn't expect that she also had talismans that could make people tell the truth.
"Xingchen, are you telling the truth?" The imperial concubine looked surprised.
"Of course. If Your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can find someone else to try." Ye Xingchen said.
The emperor frowned slightly. He had just taken Concubine Xuan out of the cold palace. Thinking of her cutting her wrist and using her blood to copy scriptures and pray for him, the emperor was reluctant to try.
Even though he knew that Concubine Xuan might be involved, the emperor still had some selfish motives.
After all, he truly loved Concubine Xuan.
At this moment, the emperor glared at Ye Xingchen. She must have done it on purpose. She actually said that there was a talisman that could make people tell the truth. It was obviously aimed at Prince Mo and Concubine Xuan. Damn it.
But in front of the imperial concubine, the emperor naturally couldn't refuse directly.
"Your Majesty, let someone try it. If it really works, then the murderer who ordered the harm to the little prince will be found. Please allow me, Your Majesty!" the imperial concubine requested.
The emperor naturally could not refuse: "In that case, let him try."
The person the emperor was referring to was Sun Da.
Ye Xingchen understood the emperor's intention, but did not refuse: "Yes." He took the mantra talisman and gave it to Sun Dayong.
The yellow talisman hit Sun Da's head and turned into ashes.
"Tell me, what secrets do you have?" Ye Xingchen asked.
Sun Da immediately replied: "I secretly hid a hundred taels of silver under the willow tree in the yard of my house, but deliberately told my wife that I had no money, just to let her earn more money.
I also stole the bellyband of the wife of Mr. Wang next door. His wife was plump and round, with a great figure. She walked in a twisting manner, and her coquettish look made me feel itchy.
If Lao Wang next door wasn't a butcher, I'm afraid he would mistake me for a pig and slice me up. I must taste the taste of his wife.
I also killed the big yellow dog of Lao Qian's family, and then stewed the dog meat and ate it. Lao Qian had been looking for the dog for half a year, but I didn't tell him that I ate it---- --"
Sun Da's mouth became uncontrollable, and he blurted out all the secrets he had kept hidden over the years.
The wet nurse was so angry that her face turned black. She waved her fist and hit Sun Da: "You bastard, it's fine if you steal chickens and dogs, but you even have your eyes on the wife of the old man next door. I gave birth to children and raised a family for you wholeheartedly. Do you think you are worthy of me?"
Sun Da was in so much pain that he dodged immediately: "Why did I say these things? Why can't I control my mouth? Listen to me, wife, I can explain."
"Explain your head, you are a pervert and you are not a good person. I misjudged you."
The imperial concubine watched the couple quarreling and was very excited: "Great, Xingchen's spell is indeed real. Your Majesty, give it to Gu Jiu."
The emperor's face tensed: "How can they be compared with the royal family?"
The imperial concubine froze, and her expression immediately became extremely ugly: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? You didn't intend to give it to Gu Jiu at all, did you? Are you afraid that he would reveal that it was Concubine Xuan who ordered it?"
The aura around the emperor suddenly became dangerous: "How dare you! When did I ever say such a thing?"
"You didn't say it, but this talisman has been proven to be effective. Why don't you allow us to use it?" the imperial concubine questioned.
Just as the emperor was about to lose his temper, Ye Xingchen immediately gave the imperial concubine a look: "Please calm down, your majesty means that these two people are just commoners and are not convincing enough. Why not try eunuch Wu? He is your majesty's favorite, and your majesty will definitely know whether he is lying or not. I believe your majesty also wants to know whether the people around him are loyal?"
Since Ye Xingchen said this, the emperor naturally couldn't refuse.
Eunuch Wu was so frightened that he fell to his knees and said, "Your Majesty, the world can attest to my loyalty to you."
Ye Xingchen's words did indeed move the emperor, after all, emperors are suspicious.
"In that case, Eunuch Wu, you can give it a try," the emperor said quietly.
How could Eunuch Wu dare to refuse? He respectfully accepted the order: "Yes."
Ye Xingchen took the talisman and used it on Eunuch Wu: "Eunuch Wu, who do you belong to?"
The emperor's expression tensed and his eyes turned cold.
Eunuch Wu was so frightened that he trembled and quickly explained: "This old servant is your Majesty's man."
The emperor then secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
"Have you ever done anything to let down His Majesty?" Ye Xingchen asked.
The emperor's heart was in turmoil again. Ye Xingchen's questions were really on the point.
"I have never done anything to let your Majesty down, and I have no second thoughts about you," replied Eunuch Wu.
The emperor was about to be satisfied when he heard the voice of Eunuch Wu: "If I were to say that I have done something to let your majesty down, I have done two things.
One time, I accidentally broke the tea cups given to me by Your Majesty. Fearing that Your Majesty would blame me, I secretly hid the whole set of tea cups. For more than ten years, I have not dared to take them out.
Another thing is that Your Majesty often suffers from insomnia and headaches at night. I also consulted the imperial physician and tried various methods. Later, Imperial Physician Liu told me a folk remedy.
If you put boy's urine in the incense, it will have a better sleep-inducing effect. I was afraid that if I told Your Majesty, Your Majesty would not use it, so I took it upon myself to add boy's urine to the incense.
These are the only two things I feel sorry for, Your Majesty. I really have nothing else to say." As Eunuch Wu spoke, he was frightened to death.
"Oh, how could this old slave say all this? Your Majesty, please spare my life. It is all my fault. I am so stupid." Eunuch Wu begged for mercy immediately.
The veins on the emperor's forehead bulged. Although Wu Hai's intentions were good, he felt sick at the thought of having to sleep every night smelling incense laced with boy's urine.
"Wu Hai, you deserve to die! You actually fooled me and even dared to pee on the incense and ginseng boy. I think you are tired of living." The emperor roared.
Eunuch Wu was frightened to death: "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I saw that you have been unable to sleep and I am worried about your health. I beg Your Majesty to punish me!"
"You really deserve to be punished. You will be punished with ten strokes of the cane. If you dare to make decisions on your own again, I will kill you!" the emperor snorted angrily.
"Yes, I will never dare to do it again." Eunuch Wu kowtowed to express his gratitude.
The imperial concubine looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, this talisman has also been proven to be true by Eunuch Wu. When will you give it to Gu Jiu?"
The emperor naturally knew that he could not escape today, but his face was solemn, as if he was thinking about something.
"If Your Majesty is worried that the talisman is not good enough, I have dozens of them here. I drew them when I had nothing to do. I can give you as many as Your Majesty wants." Ye Xingchen blocked the emperor's last excuse.
The Imperial Concubine already knew that the Emperor favored Prince Mo and Concubine Xuan. Seeing that he was hesitant to give the order at this critical moment, the Imperial Concubine's hot temper made her unable to wait, so she directly took a mantra talisman from Ye Xingchen's hand and touched it on the head of Gu Jiu who was kneeling on the ground.
Just now she saw Ye Xingchen using it in this way, but the imperial concubine accidentally dropped two of them, and those two cards happened to touch King Mo's body and turned into ashes.
"Gu Jiu, I want to ask you, was it Prince Mo who ordered you to poison the little prince?" the imperial concubine asked immediately.
The emperor wanted to stop it, but it was too late.
"No." Gu Jiu replied.
The imperial concubine's face froze, but the emperor secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
When Ye Xingchen saw him, he immediately asked, "Who is that?"
