In fact, Emperor Mingde lied.

It was not at all that Shen Siyuan proposed to use the incantation technique to save the empress dowager in order to keep her alive.

Wang Chengyou, Shi Chengyi and others saw that the mistake had been made and could not be undone. They also saw that Queen Dowager Huizheng, who had been busy as a top every day, suddenly became someone who slept from morning to night, refused to eat or drink, remained silent, and ignored state affairs.

When she heard the news of her lover's death, her hair turned white overnight and she wept bitterly. Later, she could no longer cry.

Queen Dowager Hyejeong refused to see anyone, including Shi Chengyi.

At that time, the only person closest to her was Eunuch Qi.

But it was no use for Eunuch Qi to talk to her. It wasn't that she couldn't listen, but that she couldn't hear.

She lost weight very quickly, and her appearance changed almost every day. In the end, she was so skinny that it was hard to believe that she was the once powerful Queen Mother Hyejeong.

The entire Imperial Hospital was helpless and all the ministers cried bitterly.

At this time, Zhuo Qiran, who was on the verge of collapse, suddenly had an idea. If there was someone who knew the art of incantation and combined it with the heartless Gu to remove the empress dowager's painful memories, perhaps her life could be saved.

The difficulty of this proposal lies in the art of incantation. Zhuo Qiran asked Shen Siyuan for help, but was sternly rejected.

Shen Siyuan would never admit that he knew the art of incantation, which had been banned in the North Wing for many years.

Wang Chengyou and several other officials who had done stupid things wept and knelt before Shen Siyuan, begging him to save the Queen Mother. "Beiyi cannot be without the Queen Mother! If she falls, the court will be in chaos and people's hearts will be divided. Can you bear to see Beiyi fall?"

"There is no other woman in this world like her, who does not fight for power or profit, and is only concerned about the great land of Beiyi..."

"Lord Shen, if there were any other way, we would not take such a risk."

Shen Siyuan had to tell the truth, Zhuyoushu is not just Zhuyoushu, it needs to be complemented by many secret methods, including Gu worms and Feng Shui fate.

Zhuo Qiran was prepared. "I have the Gu worm, and it would be more appropriate to use the mother and child Gu. The mother Gu will enter the Queen Mother's body, and the child Gu needs to find a carrier that is related to the Queen Mother's fate."

Through the child Gu, the condition of the mother Gu in the Queen Mother's body can be accurately grasped and controlled. The child and mother Gu are connected, and the mother Gu can be controlled by the practitioner. The child Gu acts as a bridge, allowing the practitioner to always understand the Queen Mother's physical condition, and even at critical moments, can affect the Queen Mother's condition or mood by adjusting the mother Gu.

Zhuo Qiran explained each one of them, and it was obvious that he had thought it through carefully.

Shen Siyuan still shook his head. "If you are not careful with the Gu worm technique, it may backfire on you, or even hurt innocent people. Although I have dabbled in it, I am not proficient in it. In a hurry, it is difficult for me to achieve telepathic communication with the Gu worm you cultivated."

Zhuo Qiran said, "I am confident in the poisonous insects I raise. I can make them get close to you and listen to you. Lord Shen, if you don't take action, the Queen Mother will be powerless to save the situation."

Shen Siyuan himself is also very conflicted.

He had already lost both legs and became a cripple. If he could use his crippled body to save the Queen Mother's life, it would be considered a meritorious deed.

Later, Mr. Yang Xuan from the Imperial Observatory also got involved.

He observed the stars at night and deduced the secrets of heaven; he also secretly arranged a feng shui formation deep in the palace, trying to reverse the fate of the world with human power.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing. Finally, all that is left is to find a carrier for the sub-gu.

This person's fate must be related to the Queen Mother, preferably a blood relationship with her. He should not be too conspicuous, lest he arouse suspicion and be used by others, which would be detrimental to the Queen Mother.

And, most importantly, the person must be willing.

Once the Gu enters the body, he will become a puppet controlled by others, without thoughts of his own and unable to move at will, like a walking corpse.

At first, Shi Chengyi was willing to be this puppet. He had protected Xia'er all his life, but in his old age he made a mistake and was so upset that he wanted to die.

But Mr. Yang Xuan calculated with his fingers and found that the fate did not match.

His son Shi Yunzhou and daughter Shi Anxue both expressed their willingness to give it a try, but their fates did not match.

After counting around, I found that there was indeed one, and the only one, whose fate matched all the requirements.

That person was Shi Anrou.

Shi Chengyi went to talk to Shi Anrou in person, but the result was not satisfactory.

When Shi Anrou heard that she would become a puppet, she immediately shook her head like a rattle, "No, my life is also my life! I don't want it, I won't do it, I'm not happy with it."

Wang Chengyou and others took turns to persuade Shi Anrou, but no one could convince her.

Seeing that Empress Dowager Huizheng was about to die, Master Jiyuan said something to Shi Anrou, but Shi Anrou finally agreed.

Emperor Mingde said to Shen Siyuan, "So this is a secret technique that combines the art of incantation, insect poison, and feng shui fate, which successfully removed the Queen Mother's memory of despair and pain."

Shen Siyuan was fascinated by what he heard. "What happened next?"

"What else is there to come? You have heard everything you should have heard. According to this script, if you study the art of incantation, you will surely achieve great success."

Shen Siyuan was unwilling to accept it, "Is there really no follow-up? For example, this Queen Mother..." He choked and his eyes widened like bells, "Could it be that Princess Haiyan..."

Emperor Mingde's face darkened. "A storybook is just a storybook. Don't take it personally."

Shen Siyuan's face fell, "I obey your order."

Oh my god, Princess Haiyan is the Queen Mother! No wonder she has that vision, courage, means, and bearing... When he first met her, he felt that this girl was extraordinary, very extraordinary.

Oh, it’s really extraordinary!

He calmed down his excited mood, thought about it, and asked a related question, "Then the Queen Mother's concubine sister became a fool? Who did she stay with?"

Emperor Mingde did not hide it from him, "She is the carrier of the Gu, so she must live in the house of the imperial physician. The imperial physician and his wife have no children or siblings, but they have taken good care of her. However, her memory will remain before she came into contact with the Gu."

Shen Siyuan was stunned and didn't hear a single word. The sentence "The imperial physician and his wife have no children or brothers or sisters" made his ears buzz.

He almost cried and asked sincerely, "Why do the imperial physician and his wife have no children?"

Emperor Mingde was stunned by the question, "The storybook didn't mention these insignificant people..."

Shen Siyuan glared at Emperor Mingde, his eyes red, "When he is used, he is of great importance and irreplaceable; when he is not used, he is insignificant..."

Emperor Mingde: “…”

Why do I feel like a heartless person being chased and blamed?

He coughed lightly, not knowing how to appease this minister. Recently, his ministers seemed to be very good at acting like a spoiled child in front of him! Why didn't they learn from the good ones, but instead learned this bad habit from Youen?

However, he still needs to be comforted. After all, he is a good minister who has been loyal and capable in his past and present lives.

But Emperor Mingde really did not remember the fate of other insignificant people, or rather, his memory had become blurred.

He changed the subject and said, "Well, Princess Haiyan has also read the book. She might know..."
