The Legend of Shu Wu: Tianxiangye Dyeing Clothes

When Jiashen saw Tianxiang who was wearing a woman's dress, his eyes were full of surprises, he couldn't help but lower his voice, and said very gently: "Tianxiang, how did the investigation go?"

Zhuang Ji suddenly gasped: "Isn't that the green stalk that your majesty bestowed upon Mrs. Luhua? Remember that it is Mrs. Luhua's favorite."

It turned out that it was Zhuang Ji who saw the green stalk in Jiaping's hand.

Jiaping's heart tightened, and he thought to himself: "No! Zhuang Ji wants to frame mother!"

Jiashen also saw it: "Yes, why are you here?"

An attendant at the side immediately replied: "Return to your lord, it was found by the great witch Tianxiang from a female corpse."

Tianxiang was about to report back, but Zhuang Ji immediately added: "Ah, Mrs. Luhua has been dead for many years, how could her most beloved thing appear here? Could it be that these dead bodies...Your Majesty, could this be a specter?"

Everyone present, except Tianxiang and Jiaping, felt a dark wind blowing.

Jiashen's eyes loosened a little, as if he believed it.

Jiaping couldn't hold back his anger, and was about to refute, Tianxiang squeezed his hand, and sent his heartfelt voice to Jiaping: "Dye clothes, don't be impulsive!"

Tian Xiang immediately said: "Your Majesty, it is definitely not a ghost, but a monster."

Zhuang Ji: "The relics of Mrs. Luhua appeared on this corpse, how to explain it?"

Tianxiang: "Your Majesty, Mrs. Zhuang Ji, Mrs. Lu Hua passed away for many years. Some of the relics were given by the Lord, so they must be very precious. Some servants and maids became greedy, and it is possible to take it while the third son is not paying attention. And these corpses There is no ghost aura in my body, only monster aura, so naturally it cannot be a ghost asking for my life."

Jiaping clenched the Qinglang stalk tightly in his hand, tried to calm himself down, and said, "Father Jun, this Qinglang stalk is indeed my mother's favorite thing, because it is a gift from Father Jun to mother as a token of love, so I am dying. A while ago, my mother told me not to put it in the coffin, but to keep the green stalk by my side. It's because I didn't take care of it strictly and let it be lost, so I ask Father to punish it."

After all, kowtow to apologize.

Tianxiang: "Your Majesty, if the Qinglang stalk is really Mrs. Luhua's favorite, she will not throw it away here at will. Either someone steals it, or someone wants to deliberately frame Mrs. Luhua and the third son."

Jiashen was a little distressed, and quickly helped Jiaping up: "It's none of my son's business, as long as I get the things back. Hmph, this thief is really cheap. Come on, the third son Jiaping is filial and honest, and I will give you a gold utensil as a reward. "

Attendant: "Yes."

Jiaping kowtowed: "Thank you, father, for the reward."

Zhuang Ji's nails dug into the flesh again.

At this moment, Jiashen clutched his chest, his brows furrowed.

Zhuang Ji hurriedly stepped forward to support Jiashen: "Your Majesty, your chest hurts again, and I will help you to rest. Deep down, go and bring me the lily and lotus seed soup."

Deep: "Yes."

Zhuang Ji whispered softly: "Your Majesty, I made you another lily and lotus seed soup."

Jiashen patted Zhuang Ji's hand: "Let Madam worry."

Zhuang Ji: "Well, your majesty is the concubine's heaven, so you don't have to worry about supplementing food."

Everyone: "Congratulations, Your Majesty."

Tianxiang noticed that Jiashen's eyebrows were faintly darkened, and he seemed to be in a bad state.

Tianxiang and Jiaping return to Luhua Palace.

Jiaping still held the green stalk tightly, without saying a word.

Tianxiang took Jiaping into his arms, and comforted him: "Dyeing clothes."

Jiaping hugged Tianxiang back, his eyes were a little red: "Tianxiang, why? Why don't they let their mother go? Mother never fights or snatches her whole life, and poses no threat to anyone. She has been dead for so many years, but there are still people who want to frame her."

Tianxiang touched Jiaping's head: "It's not Mrs. Luhua they want to frame, but you."

Jiaping: "Me?"

Tian Xiang nodded: "Do you know why Your Majesty has not established an heir for so long?"

Jiaping shook his head.

Tianxiang: "The eldest son Jiazheng and the second son Jiali have passed away for many years, and you and the fourth son Jiazhi are candidates for the successor of the monarch. Although Mrs. Luhua has passed away and has no support from her natal family, the late queen's natal family seems to support you After all, Mrs. Zhuang Ji, the mother of the fourth son Jiazhi, was a beauty sent by the Shang Kingdom. There is no doubt that the Shang Kingdom supported the fourth son Jiazhi. This loyal minister of the Jia Kingdom, even the emperor himself, should know in his heart, If the fourth son, Jiazhi, is appointed as the successor, it will undoubtedly hand over the Jia Kingdom to the Shang Kingdom. And the King is suspicious by nature, and he does not want to give up the position of the King early."

Jiaping held the green stalk tightly, and then looked at Tianxiang expectantly: "Tianxiang, I want to win the throne, can you help me?"

Tianxiang nodded: "Okay, I will help you."

The two looked at each other and smiled, a thousand words, all in their eyes.

Jiaping: "Does Tianxiang have a clue about the dead body in Gujing this time?"

Tianxiang nodded: "Maybe we can start with Mrs. Zhuang Ji."

Jiaping: "Are you suspicious of Zhuang Ji?"

Tianxiang: "Well, if someone wants to steal such a precious thing like Qinglang stalk out of greed, he would have gone along with you when you were young and had no one to rely on. Why wait until now when you are full of wings? Someone framed you. In this harem, the person who can take the green stalk from your palace must be someone of high status. Then who wants you to die the most? Of course it is Zhuang Ji."

Jiaping: "But is there any connection between Zhuang Ji and the dead body in this ancient well?"

Tianxiang: "Yes, Zhuang Ji has a very faint evil spirit, and this evil spirit is the same as that on the female corpse. Although Zhuang Ji deliberately concealed it, ordinary witches or people who practice Taoism may not be able to detect it. But as the spirit of vegetation, I am the most sensitive to this, and I can't be wrong."

Jiaping was surprised: "Then Zhuang Ji is a demon?"

Tianxiang: "No, Zhuang Ji is human, but she has contact with demons."

Jiaping fell into deep thought, Tianxiang: "Don't worry, leave it to me."

Jiaping nodded: "Then what are you going to do?"

Tianxiang: "Explore Zhuanghua Palace tonight."

In the middle of the night, Tianxiang folded a boat out of bamboo leaves.

Normally, the bamboo boat is a tool used by Shu witches to transmit information, but it can also be used for other purposes, such as detectives.

Tianxiang blew on the bamboo boat, and the bamboo boat instantly came to life, stretched out two green wings, and flew towards Zhuanghua Palace with Tianxiang's consciousness.

Zhuang Hua Palace, at this hour, Zhuang Ji should have gone to bed.

Unexpectedly, Zhuang Ji's bedroom was brightly lit.

A maid was half-floating in the air, her face was contorted, her veins were protruding, and she was in great pain, but she couldn't make any sound.

Her hands tightly grasped her chest, precisely where her heart should be.

There was a man standing in the hall. The man was holding a bee needle in his hand and was casting a spell. The bee needle penetrated into the maid's heart immediately.

When the man turned his face away, Tianxiang was shocked, it was the bee demon who molested him back then.

The bamboo boat hides carefully behind the lamp.

Zhuang Ji yawned, twisted her waist, took the arm of the bee demon, and said coquettishly, "Queen bee, why is it not good?"

The bee demon smiled charmingly: "It's almost ready~"

The bee demon made a pinching movement with his right hand, only to hear a sound similar to an explosion, and the maid's body died, her mouth was open, and she was dying.

The bee needle flew out of the maid's mouth and returned to the bee demon's mouth.

After the bee demon was satisfied, she immediately picked up Zhuang Ji and turned into a red rose, which made Zhuang Ji smile happily.

After being gentle for a while, Zhuang Ji said coquettishly: "I make lily and lotus seed soup for that old man every day. Look at my hands, they are much rougher. When will the poison have an effect?"

The bee demon held Zhuang Ji's hand, and said with an evil smile, "You can't wait?"

Zhuang Ji: "Isn't this for the sake of our future?"

Bee demon: "Don't worry, my bee venom, the old man won't live long."

Zhuang Ji: "When my son Jiazhi ascends to the throne, it's not a problem to suck the blood of as many people as you want."

The bee demon licked her lips, her eyes flashed brightly: "I'm looking forward to it."

The bamboo boat flapped its wings, rushed towards the lights, and turned into ashes.

The bee demon and Zhuang Ji heard the sound and followed the sound. What they saw in their eyes was a scene of a moth flying into a flame.

After the bamboo boat put out the fire, her consciousness returned to Tianxiang's mind.

Shuwu's bamboo boat has the advantage that it can return to its original place by self-destructing, but the object of the prying can't find any abnormalities, and can't do anything about it.

Seeing Tianxiang come back to his senses, Jiaping hurriedly asked: "Tianxiang, how is it?"

Tianxiang regained her composure: "Ranyi, Zhuang Ji and a bee demon are planning to murder Junshang. Last time I saw Junshang, his brows were blackened, as if he was poisoned."

Jiaping lowered his eyes and fell into silence.Tianxiang: "Dyeyi, what's wrong with you?"

Jiaping raised his head and looked at Tianxiang seriously, with a gloomy expression on his face: "Tianxiang, you have to help me."

Faced with such a gloomy Jiaping, Tianxiang's heart trembled.

Jiaping hugged Tianxiang: "I want to avenge my mother, and I want to get the position of the king."

Tianxiang had no choice but to agree.

On the second day, Tianxiang actually received an invitation from Zhuang Ji.

Although Tianxiang and Jiaping felt strange about Zhuang Ji's invitation, they still went.

Jiaping took Crescent Moon to send Tianxiang to the gate of Zhuanghua Palace.

Jiaping took out a white orchid from his bosom, and said: "Tianxiang, Zhuang Ji is full of tricks, you have to be careful, if she does anything against you, you will destroy this orchid, and I will take care of you." will come to your aid."

Tianxiang put away the orchids and kissed Jiaping's forehead.

Chu Wu has always used flowers and herbs to perform witchcraft, and some witchcraft really do not spare flowers.

In Zhuanghua Palace, the candlelight flickered inside the palace, and Zhuang Ji sat on the throne.

There are also two oval-shaped bronze you (you) and two bronze horns on the tables in front of you, and only one maid attends deeply.

Tianxiang is a little strange, why are there so many candles lit in broad daylight?There was only one maid present.

Logically speaking, with Zhuang Ji's status in the harem of Jia Kingdom, it is impossible to have only one maid by her side.

The palace was filled with a strong aroma of wine, which made Tianxiang, a particularly sensitive spirit of vegetation, a little overwhelmed.

Zhuang Ji smiled coquettishly: "Da Wu Tianxiang, you are here."

Tianxiang bowed slightly, and bowed according to the etiquette of the Yellow River: "Mrs. Zhuang Ji."

Zhuang Ji smiled slightly: "Da Wu Tianxiang, are you still used to living in Jiaguo?"

Tianxiang smiled: "Thank you Mrs. Zhuang Ji for your concern, everything is fine."

Zhuang Ji gave Shen Shen a wink, and Shen Shen immediately brought two copper horns full of fine wine.

Zhuang Ji walked towards Tianxiang who was standing in the center of the hall, and followed closely behind.

Zhuang Ji stood still and stared straight at Tianxiang: "Yin people love wine. I am originally from Yin. Although I am not talented, I can drink a little. I came from Shang country and brought some juchang wine , I don’t know if Tianxiang Dawu can show her face and drink some tea. I heard that the wine in Shu is the most famous, Tianxiang Dawu can compare it.”

Tianxiang was startled, the wine was a sacred wine used for sacrifices in the Shang Kingdom, or it was rewarded to the princes for meritorious service.

This Zhuang Ji, Shang Guo really valued her very much.

Tianxiang still smiled, and said very cheerfully, "Okay."

Now it was Zhuang Ji's turn to be surprised, Tian Xiang was really not afraid this time.

The two picked up the copper horn and drank it down in one gulp.

Zhuang Ji praised, "Good drinking capacity."

Tianxiang: "Don't dare."

Zhuang Ji: "How about the wine of my Yin people?"

In fact, Tianxiang was always surprised that this Zhuang Ji was from Yin and Shang, and she didn't mention her husband's Jiaguo at all.

It seems that what Ranyi said is right, Zhuang Ji's heart is still towards Shang Guo after all.

But, isn't she afraid to tell Jiashen this?

After thinking about it again, I am just a foreigner, even though I have become a great witch in Jia Kingdom, but the time is still short, and Jiashen and her husband and wife for more than ten years, Jiashen can't believe what I say.

Tianxiang: "Shu wine has a thin and sweet taste, while Yin wine is full-bodied and strong. I am afraid that only Ba Xiangqing from Ba Kingdom can compare with Yin wine."

Zhuang Ji laughed: "The Great Witch Tianxiang is really smart, no wonder he is so fascinated by Young Master Jiaping. I heard that the Great Witch Tianxiang is a Shu witch, so I wonder if Zhuang Ji can ask me a question or two?"

Tianxiang: "Madam Zhuang Ji, please tell me."

Zhuang Ji: "What's the difference between Shu Wu and us mortals?"

Tianxiang: "Shu Wu is also a mortal, but a half-human, half-immortal spirit."

Zhuang Ji smiled a little creepily: "Spiritual man? Is the blood of the spiritual man sweeter than the blood of ordinary people?"

The author has something to say:
