The rise of the president in the harem

Hearing what he said, Gao Yue understood that Qi Sheath was thinking too much, and comforted him: "Don't worry, no one doubts you, Taoist Zixian also said that you, this Gu worm, were planted by someone, didn't you?" Master Xian?"

After listening to the conversation between the two, Taoist Master Zixian also heard that what he said just now seemed to have caused trouble for Qi Shangren, so he hurriedly explained: "Blood Gu larvae need blood Gu mother worms before choosing a Gu person to take over." It is nourished by the blood energy of the person who receives the Gu, that is to say, the larva must be on the person who receives the Gu of the mother worm. The larva needs to select the person who receives the Gu for seven times, and each time cannot exceed seven days, that is to say, one and a half months If there is anyone in the house who keeps looking for Qi Shangren every now and then, that person may be the person with the blood gu mother worm."

"Within one month, every three to five times..." Qi Sheath muttered to herself, suddenly her eyes widened, her lips trembled, and she looked at the Queen Mother and Gao Yue in a hesitant manner.

There was no emotion on the queen mother's face, and she said: "You can say anything you want. Aijia can bear it."

Gao Yue also encouraged him: "Don't be afraid to say it."

Qi Sheath got up suddenly, knelt down in front of the Empress Dowager with a plop, touched her forehead to the ground, and said, "Empress Dowager, I, I dare not say."

"Who is it?" The Empress Dowager didn't care about those, the most important thing is to find out the person who controls the Gu, and said: "You can tell the Ai family if you tell me, don't you believe that the Ai family can protect you?"

Hearing this, Qi Sheath took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind, gritted her teeth, and said, "Yes, Your Highness Ninth Prince."

Gao Yue was taken aback, and quickly looked at the queen mother.

The empress dowager finally showed a bit of surprise, but soon regained her composure, and she asked: "Jue'er is still a child, even if he comes to you every now and then, he still doesn't understand these insidious things, what's going on, you can tell me in detail Come."

Qi Sheath said: "Before, I once stewed soup to send to Gao Shijun, but was cut off by His Royal Highness the Ninth Prince on the way. Later, he remembered my craftsmanship and asked me to cook soup for him as soon as he had ingredients. The last two Yue he barked a little frequently, but he called me every now and then. Oh, yes, once, Xiao Manzi from his palace asked me to have a meal in Jihe Palace, probably a few days ago thing."

"Xiao Manzi?" The queen mother thought for a while, and said: "How did the Ai family hear that the father-in-law in charge of Jihe Temple has changed to Xiao Jiazi? Didn't this Xiao Manzi trick Jue'er into running away?"

"This... I don't know." Qi Sheath said, kowtowed to the Queen Mother, and said: "Apart from Jihe Palace, I only have regular opportunities to meet with other people every day when I come to Yongshou Palace every day to pay my respects. Contact, another thing is that Qiao Shangren lives with me in Yihexuan, and I don’t see each other when I look up every day, and I have a good relationship with Gao Shijun, but Gao Shijun has been in Jiyang Palace recently and has less contact. "

"Well," the queen mother nodded, Qi Sheath's words were true, but there was something unexpected about Jihedian and Xiaomanzi. She turned her head to Gao Yue and Zixian and said, "I'll give the concubine Xian the Taoist priest a while." After we have checked the pulse, I will trouble you and Yueer to go to Jihe Hall to have a look again."

Daoist Zixian quickly responded, and Gao Yue also said: "That's exactly what I mean. Besides, I'm afraid the Taoist priest will go to visit someone with me." The person Gao Yue wants to visit is naturally Wang Meiren.Isn't she allergic to hay fever and won't come, then let's take the initiative to see her.

"Everything is arranged by the servant." Taoist Zixian didn't want to say any more.

The Empress Dowager looked at Qi Sheath, and said: "You have just pulled out the Gu worm, and you must have to raise it for a while, so let's put aside the affairs of the harem for the time being, it is the right thing to rest in peace of mind."

"Yes, everything is arranged by the Queen Mother."

"Well, you go back and have a good rest." The queen mother smiled lovingly, but there was not much warmth in the eyes looking at Qi Sheath.

Gao Yue saw all this in her eyes, thinking that this royal family is really 'the most ruthless emperor's family'.

He sent Qi Sheath out the door, watched him walk away with the support of the little six sons, and then came back again.There were not many people left in these halls, he walked outside and heard Yu Zhu talking to the queen mother inside, "... Well, let them go back first, the emperor also issued a ban, and they will not let them go these days They came to say hello...'

Concubine Shu, Qiao Huan and two concubines who hadn't finished their pulse diagnosis were left in the hall.After what happened just now, Taoist Master Zi Xian seemed to be more careful in taking the pulse of the concubines. The two concubines had their pulse checked for a long time before it was the turn of Concubine Shu and Qiao Huan.

The queen mother glanced at them and said: "Qi Shangren is physically weak, and the affairs of the harem will be taken care of by you two for the time being."

Concubine Shu quickly said: "Don't worry, Auntie, Rong'er will take good care of the harem and won't let you worry about it."

Qiao Huan also quickly said: "Don't worry, Queen Mother, I will definitely help the imperial concubine."

"Well, you are also sensible." The Queen Mother smiled with satisfaction.

Gao Yue stood at the door and waited for them to finish speaking before stepping in.At this moment, Taoist Master Zixian had finished checking the pulse of those two people. He glanced at Gao Yue and said, "Your servant, please come and have a checkup too. You were too close to Gu Qi yesterday, even if you are wearing the master's Jin Nang, I see that you have lost your vitality today, and you need to make up for it."

Gao Yue thought to herself, my vitality loss is because I suffered from insomnia last night, but it really has nothing to do with Gu worms.But he couldn't say that, if he said it, if Taoist Zixian asked why he was insomnia, what would he do?I can't be angry with the emperor, can I?Therefore, Taoist Master Zixian wanted to check his pulse, so he had no choice but to obediently stretch out his hand.

Zi Xian gave him the pulse more carefully, and took a while to stop, and asked him: "Is your servant feeling chest tightness, shortness of breath, dizziness, and brain swelling recently?"

Gao Yue really did. Didn't she feel chest tightness and shortness of breath for a long time after returning from going to the treasure house that day?At that time, he thought he was hungry, so he nodded and said, "Yes."

Zixian asked again: "The servant has been in love recently?"

As soon as these words came out, Gao Yue found that all the eyes in the hall suddenly focused on him, and he felt embarrassed when he saw it, but he nodded obediently - he came here once when he was in Gucheng Well.And I am afraid that the queen mother also knows about this matter, how can the matter of Gucheng be hidden from the queen mother?

Zixian sighed, and said: "The next time Shijun comes, you must not use drugs to suppress your emotions. Your body is already losing vitality. If it weren't for Master's elixir to make up for it, I'm afraid it will hurt the root this time." Ah. The situation of serving the king needs Yang Qi to enter the body, and it can be taken care of slowly. Don't overwork, and don't waste your mind, otherwise it will affect your lifespan."

"Okay, I'll take it down."

After Gao Yue finished speaking, she didn't care about other people's expressions, she bowed to the Queen Mother, and said: "Queen Mother, I will take Taoist Priest Zixian to visit the Hall of Jihe first, and see you later."

"Well, you go." The queen mother smiled.

Gao Yue got the promise and pulled up Zixian Taoist priest and left, the wind was blowing under his feet at that speed, not like the aura that a person who has lost energy can walk out of.They all walked a long way, and they could still hear Taoist Master Zixian's warning voice, "Mr. Gao, don't run, it's not good for your health" and Gao Yue's angry growl, "Shut up!"...

The Queen Mother looked out for a while, then smiled and said to Concubine Shu beside her, "Look at him, he's still shy!"

Concubine Shu reluctantly twitched the corner of her mouth.

Gao Yue ran out of Yongshou Palace in one breath and then slowed down. He probably did run in a hurry, and his physical fitness was poor, so he was a little out of breath after just two steps.Fortunately, the two eunuchs Xing and Fu supported him, otherwise he might really kneel here.Seeing him like this, Zixian couldn't help telling him again: "Gao Shijun, you really have to pay attention in the future. The poor are not alarmist. You have lost energy, so don't overwork!"

"it is good."

Gao Yue didn't want to talk to him about this anymore, so she straightened up and continued to walk quickly, saying, "Daoist Zixian, we are going to the Jihe Hall now. You heard what Qi Shangren said just now. , the person he has been in contact with from time to time recently is His Highness Nine. But His Highness Nine is still a child, so whether this Jihe Palace is related to Gu insects or not depends on you!"

Zixian: ...

Did he really listen to my advice?Why do I think his word 'good' is perfunctory to me?

Gao Yue didn't want to hear any words related to "passion" at the moment, so he walked faster, and he almost brought the wind all the way to the Hall of Jihe.It was inevitable that Zixian would still nag him, but Gao Yue agreed with his mouth and had a good attitude, but it was another matter entirely.Taoist Master Zixian wanted to say more, but those words were suppressed at the gate of Jihe Hall——

The reason, of course, was that he was shocked by the Gu Qi in Ji He Dian!

Seeing that Gao Yue was about to enter the door, he quickly pulled him back, and said in a very serious manner: "Your servant, wait a moment, let the poor go first. There is too much gu energy here, it is best for your servant to wait outside the door!"

Gao Yue: "Is there really a Gu Qi? Why can't I see anything?"

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard bursts of children's cries coming from inside. That voice was piercing and heartbreaking, mixed with fear and helplessness, making it difficult for those who heard it to feel compassionate!Gao Yue didn't care too much, and immediately shouted loudly: "Little Jiazi?!"

The courtyard door was wide open, but no one responded.Gao Yue found that along the way, lime was scattered everywhere in the palace, and at the entrance of the Jihe Hall, but behind the screen wall in the inner courtyard of the gate was so clean that there was not even a leaf, let alone lime.

Zixian couldn't persuade Gao Yue, so he had to let him follow behind him.The two rushed into the hall all the way, and when they opened the door, they were suffocated by the rush of blood and retreated. The light shone into the hall from behind the two, and finally saw the scene in the hall clearly, and Gao Yue vomited on the spot— —

too disgusting!

In a pool of blood, sat a child covered in blood, and he was the one who made the cry!

There are countless corpses lying here and there in the whole hall, and the death patterns are extremely uniform, all of them died of their brains bursting out!

And among these corpses and pools of blood, there were scattered broken tiles and red flowers that had been trampled and broken. That was Xilan!

Gao Yue turned around and waved at the two little eunuchs, Xing and Fu, who had been frightened, "Quick, go and inform the emperor! Go!"

Xiao Xingzi remained calm, turned around and ran away.Xiao Fuzi supported Gao Yue, patted his back, and couldn't help vomiting himself!

Taoist Master Zixian had already rushed into a pool of blood, first checked the child, and found that there was nothing unusual except that he was crying non-stop, it seemed that he was just frightened.He carried the child out of the palace, injected two injections, the crying stopped, and the child fell into a coma.

"This is His Highness Nine, right?" Gao Yue suppressed the nausea, and said, "Little Fuzi, go find Zhang Tie, and don't let His Highness Nine catch a cold. He is too young to make such a fuss." Then, he took it from Zixian's hand After Zhou Feijue hugged him in his arms, he urged Xiao Fuzi again.

Xiao Fuzi hurriedly ran to the side hall, carried Zhang Zhuta out, took His Highness Jiu from Gao Yue's arms, and put him on it.

At this moment, Taoist Master Zixian had already walked around the hall, leaving behind a few pieces of talisman to suppress the Gu Qi in the hall, and then he went out of the hall and directly closed the door.I don't know what kind of mantra was chanted, and I drew a cinnabar talisman on the gate of the temple.

"Daozhang, what's going on?" Gao Yue asked anxiously.

"Do you still remember that I told you yesterday that there is still a blood gu in this palace? These people were controlled by that blood gu before, and now they probably know that we are here, and they are here before us. Kill them in one step. Pindao has checked, and their pulse is still warm, and the time of death is not more than half an hour away from now." When Zixian said this, his expression was very serious, and he could see that he was in a heavy heart.

"Blood Gu can kill people from a distance?" Gao Yue was surprised. If this blood Gu is so powerful, wouldn't it make no difference if he followed him with a time bomb on his back?

Zi Xian nodded, and said: "The blood Gu can control other Gu insects. These people in the temple were killed by a brain-eating Gu insect controlled by that blood Gu insect. This Gu insect has eaten human brains. In the end, it will also be a delicacy of blood gu. If Pindao's prediction is not bad, these Gu worms should be summoned by the blood gu at this moment and gather towards it. Gao Shijun Pindao has to track its whereabouts. The Gu Qi here is too heavy. You Leave as soon as possible!"

"Okay. You go to chase the traces of the Gu worms first, and I will take His Highness Ninth away!"

While the two were talking, a row of guards suddenly appeared outside the gate, and then Zhou Feiqi strode in. He saw that half of Gao Yue's sleeve was covered in blood, his pupils tightened suddenly, and he took two steps forward. Thinking of something, he stopped suddenly, and Gao Yue and the others saw him coming, and got up to salute him.

"Let's get flat. What's the matter? Why are you covered in blood?" Zhou Feiqi obviously raised his hand, but he didn't stretch it out for some reason.

Gao Yue was in a hurry and didn't notice this detail, but hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Taoist Master Zixian is going to track down the traces of Gu insects at this time, and there is no delay. Let me explain the situation here!"

"Then you go." Zhou Feiqi said to Zixian.

Zixian saluted Zhou Feiqi and rushed out. Liang Xiao ordered a group of guards to follow Zixian and protect each other.

In the courtyard of the Hall of Harmony, Gao Yue explained the situation to Zhou Feiqi in detail.After Zhou Feiqi finished listening, he ordered someone to carry His Highness the Ninth Prince to the imperial physician's office.

The Hall of Jihe was directly sealed off.

Liang Xiao left a team of guards here to watch.After Taoist Zixian came back, he would clean up the corpses inside.

On the palace road, Zhou Feiqi said to Gao Yue: "Go back to Jingyang Palace, wash and change your clothes before you get busy."

"Well, that's fine." Gao Yue nodded and followed behind Zhou Feiqi. It was only then that he realized that Zhou Feiqi had been walking with his hands in his sleeves and arms folded. Is it hot?Looking closely, Gao Yue discovered that Zhou Feiqi's arm covered by the sleeve of his robe seemed to be shaking slightly?

He, is he enduring something?

Gao Yue couldn't help but take a look at Zhou Feiqi's expression, and saw that he had a serious expression on his face, and he didn't look sideways. Except for his slow walking, his whole person was completely different from usual - stiff!

When people try their best to suppress themselves and restrain certain impulses, they will appear the rigidity of disobedience, so what exactly is Zhou Feiqi restraining?

The heart of the emperor is unpredictable.

Gao Yue couldn't figure it out, so she gave up looking into it.

At this time, Zhou Feiqi tried his best to restrain his desire to reach out and hold Gao Yue.When I didn't have any thoughts about Gao Yue before, or when I knew that Yue'er didn't love him anyway, I wouldn't think too much about cuddling and making fun of him, but now I worry that my too much physical contact will make others think too much, This in turn caused an irreparable debt, so Zhou Feiqi decided to restrain his behavior until he found out about Gao Yue's situation, try his best to control himself, and don't mess with others.

The two of them had nothing to say all the way, and when they returned to Jingyang Palace, Gao Yue felt something was wrong when she washed and changed her clothes.If this happened in the past, would Zhou Feiqi go back to Jingyang Palace with him?The answer is of course no, he will definitely pull him back to the Jiyang Palace, because it is the emperor's territory, and the food and clothing are all used by the emperor, and it is also the best in the entire harem. If you want to go back to the palace, Jiyang The temple must be the first place that Zhou Feiqi would think of.

But today, he asked Gao Yue to go back to Jingyang Palace to change clothes. Although this is more in line with the royal rules, the problem is that since Gao Yue came to wear it, the emperor has never followed this rule!

unusual!

Gao Yue murmured in her heart, feeling that Zhou Feiqi was really abnormal today.

But right now is not the time to worry about these things, Gao Yue changed her clothes, and when she arrived at the front hall, she saw Liang Xiao reporting to Zhou Feiqi again, "...now everyone is in Chuxiu Palace, even the queen mother is alarmed, please go over .”

"What's wrong?" Gao Yue asked.

Zhou Feiqi said: "Daoist Zi Xian traced the Gu insects to Chuxiu Palace. He found that there was something wrong with the silkworm chrysalis that Zhang Meiren was eating, and the silkworm chrysalis was said to be given to her by Wang Meiren. Now Wang Meiren is confronting Zhang Meiren, and the Queen Mother has arrived. , let's go too."

Gao Yue responded, followed Zhou Feiqi out, and said, "Ms. Zhang reminded me this morning that Mrs. Wang told her that Xilan hindered her conception, and that Mrs. Wang smashed Xilan."

After the emperor listened, he asked Liang Xiao, "Is Xilan still in Wang Meiren's room?"

"It's all there, and lime was sprinkled on it, and there's no trace of rejection." Liang Xiao added, "Daoist Zi Xian diagnosed the blood gu in Zhang Meiren's pulse."

"What's there to argue about?" Zhou Feiqi sneered.

Liang Xiaodao: "But Beauty Zhang insisted that Beauty Wang framed her, and now things are stuck here."

Gao Yue thought for a while and said, "Ms. Zhang went to Yongshou Palace to get her pulse in the morning. Taoist Zixian didn't find anything wrong at that time!"

Liang Xiaodao: "So now even Taoist Master Zixian is being questioned. This alarmed the Empress Dowager, and asked the next official to invite the Emperor."

Gao Yue said: "What did Taoist Zi Xian say? Did someone say that the blood gu on Zhang Meiren was also married?"

"I haven't heard of this."

Gao Yue has nothing to ask.But this matter has progressed to the present point, it just seems awkward, no matter how you look at it, Zhang Meiren is another scapegoat.If Wang Meiren manipulated all of this secretly, then her depth of thought and ruthlessness in controlling the timing are unmatched by ordinary people.

However, Gao Yue still thought of a suspicious point, and asked Zhou Feiqi: "Your Majesty, how is this beauty Zhang's family?"

Zhou Feiqi thought for a moment before saying: "Her father is the minister of the Ministry of Rites. I remember that Minister Zhang and Governor Lin often quarreled when they were working together in the Ministry of Rites. That's why the Minister of Rites transferred them."

"It was Uncle Lin Qing's father who was kicked away?" Gao Yue said directly.

Zhou Feiqi glanced at him, nodded, and said: "The person who was kicked away in the past is now the governor of a state. If Zhang Shilang is narrow-minded and wants to pull him off his horse, it is barely a reason. It's not as simple as it looks on the surface. Yue'er can just watch this matter, and I will deal with it."

Gao Yue didn't ask any more questions, and when he followed Zhou Feiqi to Chuxiu Palace, the Empress Dowager, Concubine Shu and almost all the concubines in the harem were present.

Zhang Meiren was tied up and knelt in the courtyard covered with spells.In front of the empress dowager, there is Wang Meiren, who is waiting for love, and she is crying at the moment: "...I really don't have it. I have a rash on my face. I haven't been out of the house today. Just now, Taoist Zixian also checked my pulse." Well, I don’t have Gu worms, I’m not lying, I’m really sick.”

Taoist Master Zixian had indeed checked her pulse, and the pulse condition matched the symptoms, and there was no Gu worm in her body, or even traces of Gu worm left.Even if Zi Xian's medical skills were not as good as that of Chi Yun Taoist Priest, he was still the number one disciple of Chi Yun Temple, and no matter what, it was impossible for him to make mistakes about these things.

But Zhang Meiren heard what Wang Meiren said, but burst into tears, and said: "I went to Yongshou Palace to get a pulse check, and the Taoist priest also said that I don't have Gu worms! Why are you saying that I have Gu worms in my body now! Taoist priest How can you count what you say?!!

Beauty Wang, you are lying, you are lying!You told me that Xilan interfered with conception last night, so I threw it away. When you went back to the house, I clearly heard you smashed the flower pot and saw the eunuch in your room pouring things out. How could you still have Xilan? orchid? !Who did you steal from?Who was harmed again, you know it in your own mind? !You also gave me the plate of silkworm chrysalis. Many people in Chuxiu Palace saw it. Why didn't anyone come forward to testify? !You have all been bewitched by her, all of you have been bewitched by her! "

"You are the one who spouts blood!" Wang Meiren shot back angrily, "I am tolerant enough to you on weekdays and never fight with you. Why do you want to slander me?!"

The two are blaming each other and can't talk.There was a sound of the emperor coming outside the door, and the sound inside was instantly silenced.Everyone stood up and saluted, the queen mother looked at Zhou Feiqi and said, "Are you here?"

Zhou Feiqi walked up to the Empress Dowager and said, "The son is not filial, let the Empress Dowager worry about it."

The queen mother waved her hand and pointed to the two women in front of her, "Look, what should I do?"

The emperor just glanced at the two of them indifferently, without asking anything, and directly issued an order: "Beauty Zhang has bewitched the harem, and she will be handed over to the prison immediately, and will be punished according to the laws of the Great Zhou Dynasty. Beauty Wang does not abide by the palace rules, and disturbs the queen mother, and she will be demoted immediately." Drive out of the palace for the common people, and the daughter of the royal family will never be allowed to enter the palace again."

"emperor--"

"Your Majesty, I was wronged, Your Majesty!!"

No one expected that Zhou Feiqi would act so vigorously, he didn't even ask a question, as if in his eyes these two concubines were like ants, he was so disgusted that he didn't even want to take a second look.As long as you annoy him and make trouble for him, you will be beaten to death with a stick, there is no room for it.

In the face of Zhou Feiqi's thunderous tactics, the argument between the two beauties just now seemed so naive and ridiculous, only they would care about who is right and who is wrong, in the eyes of the emperor, no matter whether you are right or wrong, you are treated equally.The only difference is to save your life or take your life.

Standing outside the crowd, Gao Yue looked at Zhou Feiqi's indifferent eyes, but his heart was also cold, because he suddenly realized that the possibility of Zhou Feiqi being Chen Qian might just be a fantasy that existed in his hopes.

Would Chen Qian treat life so indifferently?

Gao Yue didn't dare to think about it any further.

The master was punished and his followers couldn't run away. The emperor dealt with Wang Meiren and Zhang Meiren.

So far, there have been different opinions on the truth of the matter——

Some people said that they saw Beauty Zhang go to Beauty Wang's house with a food box. She had planned to give the plate of silkworm chrysalis to Beauty Wang, but Beauty Wang refused to eat it, so she took it back.

It is also said that the silkworm chrysalis was delivered to Zhang Meiren's house by Wang Meiren's maid.

Some people also said that seeing Wang Meiren took advantage of several beauties from Chuxiu Palace to go to Yongshou Palace for a pulse diagnosis, and went to Zhang Meiren's house, and they didn't know what they did.

Eunuch Chen from the archives confessed, saying that Zhang Meiren promised him to help his family reverse the case and forced him to eat a golden fried cake.

Xiaodouzi, who participated in the ice robbing incident in Jihedian, confessed that it was Zhang Meiren who urged him to betray his original owner, Wang Meiren, and arranged for him to go to Dejihedian...

Zhang Meiren kept complaining before her death, saying that Wang Meiren framed her...

After Taoist Zixian pulled out the blood Gu from Zhang Meiren's body, nearly 20 people fainted at the same time in all the halls of the harem. It has been confirmed that different kinds of Gu were planted in their bodies, and they were all controlled by this blood Gu. Zi Xian removed Gu for him one by one, so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground.

Gao Yue took the opportunity to ask Taoist Master Zixian, why did Taoist Master Zixian not diagnose the Gu worm when Zhang Meiren had her pulse at Yongshou Palace for the first time——

Taoist Zixian said: "There was no gu qi surging in her pulse at that time. There are two possibilities. One is that she released the blood gu at that time, that is to say, the blood gu has left her body temporarily; the second is that The blood gu was passed on to her after she left Yongshou Palace, and it was she who agreed with the gu worm to identify her."

Gao Yue asked: "Is it possible to transfer Gu worms in such a short time?"

Zixian said in a long way: "The transfer ceremony of Gu worms is not complicated. When transferring, the blood Gu will turn into an object. As long as the person who receives the Gu is fond of it, it will be regarded as accepting the object."

Gao Yue thought, that is to say, if Wang Meiren gave Zhang Meiren an item, and the item was made of blood Gu, and Zhang Meiren happily accepted it, then the Gu insect would be transferred to her.As for the seven contacts during the selection process, these two people lived under the same roof, and looked down every day without seeing each other. Is there anything more convenient than this?

After His Highness Jiu woke up in the imperial physician's office, he cried and shouted, 'They ate Xiaojiazi, they ate people'. Due to excessive fright, his mind seemed to be damaged.

The emperor sent people to Chiyun Temple to invite several Taoist priests to the palace to clean up the blood gu case in the harem together with Taoist Zixian.After the Taoist priests entered the palace, they were the first to bear the brunt and went straight to the Hall of Jihe.After the blood gu qi was exhausted, the bodyguards, Wu Zuo and others found that there was a body of a eunuch who had been devoured when they cleaned up the bones. faint.

In addition, the number of Xilan smashed in the Jihe Temple did not match the number received, and six pots were missing.After Gao Yue heard about this, she deduced that the six pots of Xilan were probably moved by Wang Meiren to the Chuxiu Palace to make up for them.After all, if she had really smashed all the Xilan in her room before, in order to confuse the public, she could only grab it from the other hall.

Speaking of which, Gao Yue has always felt that Wang Meiren is the most suspected person behind the scenes, and now all signs point to her.However, all the people currently in prison unanimously accuse Zhang Meiren of being the culprit. Even if Wang Meiren is the real murderer with so many confessions, it is not so easy to find evidence.The point is that the emperor has already dealt with the two of them, which makes it even more difficult to overturn the case.

Regarding this point, Gao Yue has always been puzzled. He felt that Zhou Feiqi's IQ might not be able to see through this layer, but at that time he didn't ask any more questions. What was he worrying about?

After the Hall of Jihe was cleaned up, Zhou Feiqi directly issued the order to close the hall. Gao Yue wanted to check the small book's place where the corpse was hidden, but was stopped by Zhou Feiqi saying 'too dangerous'.In front of Gao Yue, the emperor handed over the matter to Liang Xiao for investigation.Although Gao Yue was unwilling, he had no choice but to give up.

Two blood Gu and dozens of Gu worms turned the entire royal harem upside down.For three full days, the affairs of the palace servants and concubines who were implicated were cleaned up, and the number of people in the harem dropped by a quarter. It was not easy to make up for these people in a short period of time, but this matter was handed over early in the morning. It was given to Gao Yue, so Gao Yue has been considering the matter of employing people for the past two days, and he was too busy to go to Qingshu Hall for a while.

On this day, Gao Yue drew up a list of personnel dispatches and was walking towards Yongshou Palace when he ran into Liang Xiao on the palace road.After the two greeted each other, Gao Yue asked him, "Seeing that you are in a hurry, what happened?"

Liang Xiaodao: "Your Majesty asked me to check the small book's corpse a few days ago, and now I have the result, where do you think it is?"

"where?"

Liang Xiao lowered his voice and said, "Qingshu Hall."

"What?" Gao Yue was taken aback, his mind was spinning, and he went through all the clues again, and suddenly realized: "The ultimate goal of making the matter so big is still to target Uncle Lin Qing. Alas, it seems that they have made a big fuss about Jinzhou governor. The job is inevitable.”

"Heroes see the same thing, and I think so too."

Gao Yue sighed, and asked again: "What did Uncle Lin Qing say?"

"I can see that he is terrified. The confession should be true, but it is not good for him. It is said that he wants to spread the branches and leaves for the royal family as soon as possible. He once asked Xiaoben to get a few aphrodisiac pills. After that, He also ordered Xiaobenzi to ask His Majesty to come and see him... However, after His Majesty came down, Xiaobenzi disappeared."

"Why is he so confused?" Gao Yue laughed angrily, and said, "Now it has been discovered that Xiaobenzi's body was hidden in Qingshu Palace. The scene of the fire, isn't it easy for people to think that the fire was set off to burn Xiaobenzi's body? Now that Uncle Lin Qing himself said that he had ordered Xiaobenzi to get medicine, there must be no record at the Imperial Medical Office, because What Xiaoben got back for him was definitely not an aphrodisiac pill, otherwise he would not have been diagnosed with a happy pulse that day and found the Gu worm. The Gu worm was first found on him, and now he is fine, so is Zhang Meiren Regardless of Eunuch Chen, it’s more like a scapegoat pushed out to take the blame for him. This is a multi-bait situation. The person who set up the situation is too skillful. He left several clues for us to investigate. Now I finally understand, Your Majesty Why didn't he ask why Zhang and Wang beauties were sentenced that day, he should have seen the seriousness of the game at that time."

Liang Xiaodao: "Gao Shijun is extremely intelligent, and His Majesty is even more far-sighted."

Gao Yue frowned, and said, "Is there room for maneuver in this matter? Was there anyone else present besides you when Uncle Lin Qing confessed?"

"Some palace people, and several Taoist priests."

"This is not going to be easy, the Lin family... the Li family... oh..." Gao Yue shook his head and sighed, and said to Liang Xiao, "Hurry up and report to Your Majesty, I still have something to go to Yongshou Palace."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Liang Xiao suddenly called him again.Gao Yue stopped and looked back at him, and said, "Is there anything else?"

Liang Xiao's lips moved, and in the end he only said: "Your servant, don't work too hard, pay attention to rest."

Gao Yue smiled and said: "Okay." After that, he hurried to Yongshou Palace.

In fact, Liang Xiao just wanted to tell him that Wang Meiren was demoted as a commoner and was kicked out of the palace. She was killed on the way back to Jicheng today. She said she was killed by a robber, but the exact truth is still under investigation. .

Liang Xiao analyzed this matter by himself, and came to the conclusion that Wang Meiren was killed.He originally wanted to hear how Gao Yue viewed this matter, but then he thought that he hadn't reported it to the emperor, if he asked Gao Yue first, it was inconsistent with the etiquette, so he held back again.

However, Gao Yue's analysis of the term "a game of many lures" is really enlightening. It can be seen that Gao Yue's vision pattern is absolutely comparable to others.Since it is a game of many bait, that is to say, no matter which one of the remaining clues is followed down, the final result must be unfavorable to the Lin family.What's more, it might point directly at the Li family.

Thinking about this, Liang Xiao quickened his pace to report to Zhou Feiqi.

The emperor was in the imperial study room at this time, and after listening to him, he said: "The case of the Gu worm ends here, and you immediately send an order to the Heavenly Prison and Dali Temple. Anyone involved in the case will be executed tomorrow. You go .”

Liang Xiao took the order to come out, and the emperor called Hu Eunuch again.

Eunuch Hu and Liang Xiao passed by the door of the imperial study room. In the imperial study room, Zhou Feiqi said to Eunuch Hu fairly: "Draft the decree, Brother Lin, respect it, ignore the palace rules, and behave indiscriminately. For the common people, thrown into the cold palace."

"Your Majesty, this..." Eunuch Hu finished writing, as if he wanted to plead for Lin Jingzhi.

But the emperor didn't give him a chance to speak at all, he waved his hand, and Eunuch Hu had no choice but to shut up.

"Let's make a noise." Zhou Feiqi said, picked up a brush and continued to critique the memorial, as if beating Uncle Lin Qing was just a trivial matter.Eunuch Hu didn't dare to delay any longer, and retreated out holding the imperial decree in both hands.

It can only be said that Uncle Lin Qing is too stupid to blame others for this matter. As long as he calms down and speaks his confession a little bit in his favor, he still has room for maneuver. After all, his father, Governor Lin, is also attached to the Li family. For the power of the empress dowager, the emperor will treat him lightly because of the empress dowager's face.But if he is not dealt with now, he will not be able to convince the public. If someone takes the opportunity to jump out and make trouble, his father will be implicated.

The assassination of Governor Lin was the purpose of the people behind the scenes.The interests of the former dynasty and the harem have been closely related since ancient times. Now, in order to ensure the stability of the former dynasty, Uncle Lin Qing can only be used as an abandoned child.

But Zhou Feiqi felt that with Lin Jingzhi's aptitude, he might not be able to think of these things, and he might not even be able to understand that it was extrajudicial for him to spare his life.Thinking of this, Zhou Feiqi couldn't help but sigh, if everyone in this harem is as transparent as Gao Yue, then he, the emperor, might be able to sit comfortably.

Gao Yue is currently in Yongshou Palace, and is discussing personnel scheduling and follow-up supplements with the Queen Mother.The queen mother looked at the list he brought, and didn't express her opinion right away, she just put it aside, but said another thing——

"Yue'er, have you heard in the past few days that many Xilans in the palace are wilting?"

Gao Yue shook her head, thinking, so what exactly are you trying to say?
