Chapter 502 How could this happen?
Following the clues, they went to the eldest princess's mansion.
Both Emperor Xuan and the Empress went.
In the residence of the eldest princess Xuanxiu, several talismans were found, as well as a nest of snakes and insects...
The queen was almost frightened to death.
The two personal maids of the eldest princess also reported that Princess Xuanxiu liked to do superstitious things. They found the dolls she made with Jiang Lianzhu's name written on them. They also said that Princess Xuanxiu's temperament had changed drastically, as if she had become a different person. She used to be a kind and gentle princess, but now she had a cruel temper.
All the snakes and insects obeyed the eldest princess's orders. When Xuanxiu lost his temper, the snakes and insects would attack and bite people.
Almost hurt Xuanhuang.
Someone pointed out that the eldest princess Xuanxiu is the remnant snake woman of Baihua Tower!
With so many facts before him, Xuanxiu was unable to defend himself and was imprisoned in the cold palace because the interrogation was conducted by the Internal Guards...
These matters were relayed by Xiang You and his group when they returned, and by Liao Jiu and Jiang Lianzhu.
After hearing this, Jiang Lianzhu and the others were stunned for a long time.
"How could this be? Xuanxiu is a snake girl? How could she, a princess of a country, be a snake girl? How could she be connected to Baihua Tower?"
Xiang Youdao said, "The Empress said that the current Princess Xuanxiu might have been impersonated, and the real Princess might no longer be around. Furthermore, the servants around her all reported that her personality had changed drastically, and Princess Xuanxiu has lost her voice again..."
"What is aphasia?" Jiang Lianzhu asked.
"She suddenly stopped talking and could only make a hissing sound, like a swarm of snakes." Xiang You's expression became strange as he thought about it. "Master, you weren't there at the time. Before Princess Xuanxiu lost her voice, she kept calling out your name to save her. She looked like she had gone mad. The Empress said that this snake girl from Baihua Tower must have been deeply in love with you, but she felt that her status was unworthy of you. That's why she took over the identity of the eldest princess and wanted the Emperor to decree a marriage for you. Fortunately, Master, you were wise enough to refuse the marriage..."
Liao Jiu said in a deep voice, "Is it the eldest princess, or is it the snake girl who took her place? Doesn't the emperor know?"
"The Emperor didn't say much, only that the eldest princess be taken back to the cold palace for the Internal Guards to investigate. I wanted to take her back to the Six Gates, but the Emperor wouldn't let me."
Liao Jiu nodded. "It seems that the emperor doesn't trust you guys. He not only has the Six Gates, but also the Inner Guard at his disposal. Don't worry, just wait."
I turned right and replied yes.
"The main reason we caught the suspect in the palace this time was that the thermometer that Doctor Jiang gave us was really useful. Thank you, Doctor Jiang."
Jiang Lianzhu smiled and said, "It's useful. I'll lend it to you next time I have the chance."
Liao Jiu saw through Xiang You's thoughts and said, "Don't even think about it. I won't give you even a single token of gratitude. My wife has so many precious things. Are you all going to covet them all?"
He coughed to his right, "I dare not, I dare not, Master, look at you, where are you talking about? I never thought about it that way! I just think it is very sophisticated, we in Da'an can't make it, it looks very impressive."
"Really? You still want it?" Liao Jiu said in a deep voice.
Xiang You suddenly didn't dare to press any further, "I don't want to think about it anymore."
Jiang Lianzhu couldn't look the master and servant in the eye. Xiang You was the most mischievous among the four commanders, and he dared to talk to Liao Jiu whether he had something to say or not.
Xiang Zuo is the most serious and earnest one.
Jiang Lianzhu had less contact with Xiangdong and Xiangyou, but it seemed that neither of them talked as much in front of Liao Jiu as Xiangyou.
Jiang Lianzhu said, "Stop it, this matter seems a little off, and it seems to be going too smoothly. Madam Zhou found a talisman on her body, a talisman obtained from Qingguangtu Temple. Qingguang Temple has found a clue. The old monk was killed by the snake woman. We just arrived and captured the snake woman's men. We found the Empress, and the Empress pointed out the eldest princess. At the eldest princess's mansion, there are both witnesses and physical evidence..."
Liao Jiu nodded, "It's indeed smoother now."
Xiang You said, "It took a lot of effort for us to catch the snake woman's men. If it weren't for you, Doctor Jiang, giving us the thermometer, we caught the suspect right away. We might have missed this opportunity and it would have been difficult to find out. Besides, it's a foregone conclusion that the eldest princess is a snake woman. There are so many snakes in the mansion, like nests and nests. She can command snakes and speak snake language. It's a fact! Everyone saw it, and it's not someone else's accusation."
Put it this way, it makes more sense.
However, Jiang Lianzhu had one question that she couldn't figure out.
"If you say the eldest princess is a snake woman, then why did she cast a spell on Madam Zhou? Snake women can drive away snakes. With such a great ability, shouldn't she use her snake-related abilities? Why did she cast a spell on Madam Zhou in advance? It also caused discord between Madam Zhou and her son, and almost killed Liao Jiu. The snake woman loved Liao Jiu, so it's possible for her to kill someone else, but it's unacceptable to kill him..."
Xiang You scratched his head. "Could it be that the curse was cast by the real princess in the past? The princess cast the curse, and this snake girl harmed the princess and took her place. So, she didn't know about the curse cast by the real princess in the past. Why did she ask the magician to come to Prince Xiang's mansion to catch the monster?"
"If you say that, it doesn't make sense! The point is, the snake girl replaced the eldest princess, so where is the eldest princess?"
Xiang You was stumped again. "I don't know. If the Emperor takes her back for interrogation, maybe he can find out. But if it's really the snake girl who replaced the eldest princess, then the eldest princess has most likely been murdered!"
Some analysis.
Jiang Lianzhu said to Liao Jiu, "Do you want to go to the palace to see this snake princess?"
Liao Jiu replied, "I am a commoner and have no right to enter the palace. Besides, I don't want to get involved in these trivial matters. It has nothing to do with us."
If Emperor Xuan needs Liao Jiu, he will give him an order.
Now even the Six Gates are showing signs of being abandoned by Xuan Huang, so why would he bother asking for trouble?
Whether it's the eldest princess or the snake girl, what does it have to do with him, Liao Jiu?
"Then let's just ignore it and wait and see what happens, as long as it has nothing to do with us." Jiang Lianzhu also let go.
While waiting for the results of the interrogation by the Xuanhuang Inner Guard, I don’t know if the snake girl is the only remnant of Baihua Tower. We have to wait and see for the news.
But for now, the snake girl was caught, and they breathed a sigh of relief.
On their wedding night, a group of snakes tried to climb the wall of Prince Xiang's mansion. If the snakes were used to monitor them, even if they did not attack, they would still be unable to sleep or eat.
It is also a big threat.
After leaving Xiangyou, Liao Jiu and Jiang Lianzhu were still discussing.
"It feels smoother now. How about we go to the palace tonight to check it out?" Jiang Lianzhu suggested.
Liao Jiu hugged his wife and kissed her. "Did your visit to the prison go smoothly last time? Hmm! You've become addicted to it. There are experts on duty in the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, and the management is even stricter than that of the prison. However, it's possible that we two won't be discovered if we go, but why should we get involved in this? It's purely a loss, and there's no benefit. We are just ordinary people now, and the outside world is in chaos. There are tall people to support us. Wouldn't it be better to live a leisurely life?"
