Du Manzhi sent the reluctant third princess back to Yuxu Palace, along with the snacks and toys she bought today.

"I've been a little busy in the past few days. If I don't come back, you will stay in my room. Someone will take you to Xinghuayuan for classes and pick you up to eat and sleep. Other times, don't run around. Don't believe what others say. Understand ?"

Zhan Yunjia hugged the puppet and nodded obediently: "I know, teacher, then you should eat well when you are busy."

Du Manzhi was startled, a smile appeared on her face, and she touched the top of her soft hair: "Okay, I understand, come here and I will help you take off the contact lenses."

There is a story between Zhan Yunjia and colored contact lenses.

At first she heard that she had to put two small pieces in her eyes, and people were dumbfounded.

Although the little guy said: "Okay, teacher, let it go!"

Body language is actually:

Take it away, take it away quickly, I'm afraid qwq

Zhan Yunjia is born with blue eyes. If she doesn't cover them with black contact lenses, taking her out will attract a lot of people to watch and discuss.

So Du Manzhi tried it on himself first to let her know that this thing was safe.

She adapted quickly after using it twice.

Zhan Yunjia stood obediently, waiting for the contact lenses to be taken out, and said softly: "Teacher, if my little uncle was more stable and better at dressing up, would you like him more?"

Du Manzhi replied calmly: "No matter how stable and good-looking he is, a hundred times better than he is now, I still don't like him."

"Why? Is it because his behavior today disgusts you? Or is it because you think he is a bad guy?"

Children are very persistent and want to ask questions about things they don’t understand.

Du Manzhi wet the comb and arranged her hair while saying:

"The feelings between people are not just like or dislike."

"Good people who do bad things can be hated, bad people who do good things can be liked, and vice versa."

"A person who is outstanding in all aspects, he has always insisted on being kind to others. Maybe the girl he admires still doesn't like him. This is normal. Maybe it is because there is a lack of mutual attraction between them."

Zhan Yunjia was stunned for a while after hearing this.

It was like a ball of wool was twisting and twisting in her little head.

The threads on the ground are getting more and more messy, but the ball of wool is still rolling and I can't catch it at all.

Seeing the clear confusion in her eyes, Du Manzhi put down the comb with satisfaction.

Okay, this is the effect you want!

What kind of emotional issues do you care about? Please study hard!

……

"cough."

The moon hung high in the sky, and a low cough broke the silence.

Before he uttered a word, Du Manzhi had already noticed him outside the window, which was not surprising at all.

She organized the talisman papers that had just been stamped with the ghost law seal into a pile and put them into the small universe bag.

"I'm hungry."

She knocked on the window sill and called naturally.

A big hand with clear joints stretched out the window, holding a warm oil paper bag.

When she opened it, she saw that it was the braised pork pancake she bought last time. There is also a layer of roasted bean skin added to the cake. The crispy bean skin is dipped in some broth, and it is so fragrant!

The man handed over the food and opened the window.

People also came in.

Seeing her immersed in eating, Wei Chenfeng had a soft smile in his eyes.

Du Manzhi took the time to ask him, "What did Duke Cheng'en say?"

It was discussed earlier that the discovery of old bones in the well should be made public.

Cheng'en Gong's identity is unusual. He is not only the emperor's father-in-law, but also a secretive figure who has done dirty things for the emperor before Dongchang and Xichang.

A skeleton was dug up in his house. The palace would soon know what happened, and they would definitely object to continuing the investigation.

Therefore, this battle is about time difference.

Before the man in the palace received the secret report, Wei Chenfeng had already created a series of coincidental beginnings, which aroused heated discussions among the people.

Then he showed up, led his men to quickly open the door of Cheng'en Palace, and locked up some of the servants.

If the servants in Duke Cheng'en's mansion are old, they have probably gone to the battlefield with Duke Cheng'en. They have unusual affection and are much tougher than ordinary people.

Wei Chenfeng said steadily: "Torture may not work, but there is one thing that will definitely work."

Du Manzhi finished eating one piece of pancake and still felt unsatisfied.

Considering that the content that followed was not going to be lighthearted, she wiped her mouth and said, "What did you do to scare the old housekeeper?"

it's actually really easy.

It was probably retribution for doing too many bad things. Chengen Gong himself became so ill, and the old housekeeper couldn't get much better.

The year before last, he was seriously injured by a falling beam, and he even missed the wedding of the old man he finally got.

The son was young and strong and had just married a wife. The old housekeeper hoped that his daughter-in-law's belly would bulge quickly so that he could hold the child before he died without any regrets.

Xichang caught him.

The old man didn't want to say a word.

That's called being loyal and unyielding.

However, when his precious son was brought in, he was slapped on the table, his mouth was blocked, his clothes and pants were taken off, and the eunuch next to him smiled sinisterly and showed a knife...

The old housekeeper's mentality suddenly collapsed.

People cry and shout voluntarily to make things clear.

"..."

Du Manzhi looked at Wei Chenfeng's calm profile, with ten thousand doubts in his heart——

Doesn’t the eunuch care about this kind of thing?

She had watched palace documentaries before, and it was said that the eunuchs in the palace even tabooed the word egg.

Wei Chenfeng knocked on the table in front of her: "Don't want to hear it?"

"Listen, listen, go on."

It turned out that the doctor in the well was brought home by Duke Chengen for interrogation.

At that time, the prince forced her to enter the palace and the late emperor died on the operating table. The doctors who operated on her fought back hard, but they were still caught. Duke Chengen was responsible for taking her back for interrogation.

Through the old housekeeper's words, an oolong incident was revealed.

After the chief surgeon was quietly brought back by Duke Chengen, the first person who aroused alarm was Mrs. Chengen.

The lady was jealous and mistakenly thought that Duke Cheng'en had taken a commoner's daughter home by force. She was afraid that he would take a concubine next, so she immediately ordered someone to kill her.

There were so many people talking, so how could Chengen Gong dare to reveal the doctor's identity? He just stopped in front of the door and refused to let her see.

The two sides were in a stalemate, but the doctor in the room took the opportunity to cut the rope and ran away from the window.

The old housekeeper realized something was wrong and took people to chase it.

The doctor was not familiar with the terrain, and when he chased her, she ran away not to the front yard, but to the back house!

In the end, there was really no hope of escape. The doctor said a few harsh words and jumped into the well angrily!

……

When Du Manzhi heard this, she couldn't wait to be in that scene. She wanted to kick everyone out of Chengen's mansion one by one!

They forced a highly skilled surgeon to death!

If there hadn't been that palace incident and she had cured the late emperor's illness, what kind of beautiful life would she have had!

Thinking of the huddled skeleton, Du Manzhi could imagine the doctor's suffocation at that time. It must have been painful and cold.

Wei Chenfeng's statement continued.

"They felt that the female doctor's origins were unknown, and they suspected that she had used her own life to place a curse on the Cheng'en Palace. The more they thought about it, the more they became afraid."

"They wanted to pull the body up."

"The mouth of the well is too narrow for men to get down. Those who can go down to retrieve the body are either not strong enough, or they are so frightened that they talk nonsense when they see her body."

"In the end we had to let it go."

"They filled in the well, planted a peach tree at the top of the well and prohibited anyone from going near the tree."

"As time went by, they found that the female doctor's words did not come true, and they forgot about it."

When the topic reached this point, Du Manzhi couldn't help but ask: "What did she say?"

Wei Chenfeng said quietly:

"She said that by destroying her career today, they were forcing her to die."

"The God of Medicine will bless her to return to her hometown after death and be reborn, but all those involved in the palace transformation will be sick and die badly, and no one can cure them."

Du Manzhi: "...the god of medicine?"

Wei Chenfeng nodded: "Yes."

His eyes were full of curiosity: "Do you really have this god over there?"

Du Manzhi couldn't say yes, and it was hard to say no.

She smiled reluctantly: "I don't know either."

How should I put it? To her, it sounded a bit like the angry words of a young female college student before she died.

The reason why it was mistaken for a curse was probably because those people were really guilty.

If you do too many bad things, you will be afraid of encountering ghosts.

"She died in Duke Cheng'en's Mansion, so the so-called assassin who murdered the late emperor..."

Du Manzhi stopped talking.

She remembered Wei Chenfeng told her.

In his later years, the late emperor issued a secret order to send all those who traveled through time to the stake.

However, the late emperor died suddenly.

Until the last second of his life, the late emperor was still willing to entrust his life to a young doctor who came from time travel.

It was impossible for her to give such an order.

Then it can only be done by the Dog Emperor under the guise of her name.

Wei Chenfeng sighed slightly: "Except for the female doctor who drowned in the well, some of the others escaped by luck, and most of the remaining people were burned to death."

If it was a secret order, of course no one would be allowed to escape.

These lucky people may have been notified in advance, someone helped, and they were lucky enough.

What if you have bad luck?

He slept in the urn at Huangsha Pass.

……

The two faced each other and had nothing to say for a while.

Zhao Tie, who appeared at this time, inexplicably became the atmosphere savior.

"Father, Your Majesty is calling urgently!"

Wei Chenfeng stood up.

Du Manzhi said from behind: "He wants you to settle the matter?"

"Probably so."

Wei Chenfeng casually flicked his cuffs, raised his eyes, and smiled coldly: "But I am just an ordinary person, how can I not make any mistakes at all."

Du Manzhi really guessed it.

As soon as the emperor opened his mouth, he asked him to stop the thorough investigation of the skeleton case in Chengen Palace.

Wei Chenfeng was well prepared, and after he finished what he said, he pretended to be surprised, with a look of remorse and fear on his face, and quietly apologized.

"what do you mean?"

When the emperor saw what he was doing, he acted like this again, something must be up to him!

My heart was pounding.

He subconsciously took out the elixir.

Wei Chenfeng sighed heavily, as if he was ashamed of his incompetence.

"Your Majesty, the humble minister did something wrong. When he arrived at the scene, a group of ignorant and unruly people broke through the wall and encountered the skeleton of the unknown female body."

The emperor's eyes widened.

"It's pitiful that Duke Cheng'en is ill in bed, and Mrs. Zhao can't bear the stimulation and falls ill. The new and old housekeepers are willing to cooperate with the investigation, but once they leave, there will be no one to take care of the affairs of the house. I'm afraid..."

Wei Chenfeng was stunned.

"Sigh, the Zhao family's backyard is so open, I'm afraid... even the wild dogs passing by may have stepped in."

Looking at the emperor's stunned face, Wei Chenfeng politely added the end, as if he was troubled by him, and raised his voice——

"Your Majesty, this matter is very important. It would be very difficult for people to not know about it!"

The emperor's eyes darkened! "How could a good wall collapse?!"

Wei Chenfeng explained unhurriedly:

"I heard that it was because there was a thief last night. The thief was afraid of being caught. When he escaped, he stepped on the wall without paying attention. The next day, he happened to be hit by a passerby who was fighting, and he opened the door."

The emperor's breathing was rapid and he was very angry: "Where do all these coincidences come from? Do you think I am a three-year-old child and let you play with me?!"

Wei Chenfeng looked innocent as he had been wronged: "If your Majesty doesn't believe it, you can send someone to take a look. The thief's footprints are still on the bricks."

Going to see it?

The emperor thought to himself, do you want to see the scene you carefully faked?

He forced himself to calm down.

He vaguely remembered that Duke Cheng En had told him about the well in the backyard, but he really couldn't remember it... Who was the person who jumped into the well and died?

Bastard, ridiculous!

Could it be that the entire Cheng'en Palace couldn't find anyone who could explain things clearly to him?

After driving away the eyesore Chang Qi, his seemingly innocent but actually extremely cunning face appeared in front of his eyes from time to time.

The emperor was so irritable that he threw everything on the table.

In the chaos, he shivered violently.

The well, the peach tree, the female skeleton...could it be the female doctor who cut her breasts?

First, Concubine Ning turned into a demon and made a fuss in the palace.

Then the tokens in the secret room were stolen.

Now trouble appears again in Cheng'en Palace.

This series of coincidences are all inseparable from Chang Qi's figure... What is he hinting at as he presses forward step by step?

A layer of sweat broke out on the emperor's face unconsciously.

Chang Qi, Chang Qi...

Could it be that he was in charge of all this? What did he want to do, why did he exhume the body...

Does he know what happened back then?

Impossible, he couldn't know!

"His Majesty?"

Yuan Jing jumped down to support the emperor.

As the most loyal secret guard, Yuan Jing had to worry about his safety, and also vaguely advised him not to take too much elixir.

However, the emperor was upset and felt discomfort all over his body. Only after taking the elixir could he feel relaxed for a moment.

He pushed Yuan Jing's hand away and stared at it with bloodshot eyes: "We can't keep him. Chang Qi's life can no longer be kept. I want you to arrange for someone to assassinate him!"

Yuan Jing was shocked: "Chang Qi is so powerful in martial arts that he rashly assassinated..."

He wanted to say that no matter who went, it was hard to say whether Chang Qi could be hurt or not. Whoever went would definitely die.

The emperor interrupted him: "My words are of no use? Are you going to disobey the late emperor's instructions? Are you going to betray the Zhan family?!"

Yuan Jing was stunned for a moment, then slowly handed over his hand: "We swear to protect His Majesty's safety to the death, but the secret guards are also human beings, and Yuan Jing cannot assign fatal tasks to his brothers."

The emperor's eyes almost popped out of their sockets. The devil seemed stunned, grabbed his collar and shouted: "Then you go!"

"No matter who it is, just leave a hole in his body to let the Gu insects in! Do you understand? I want him to die, and I will make arrangements tonight! Go quickly!"
