Chapter 15: Gu Worms
Mothers who have just given birth are almost always busy from morning to night because they have to take care of their children.
But Baochun is not, don't look at the birth of two, people are still idle.
There are many adults in the palace, but there are no children.
The two small ones added this time suddenly became fun toys in the palace, except for feeding back to Baochun, the rest of the time were scrambling to be held by those adults in the palace.
The third son that Zhou Tianxin was holding was snatched away by his grandfather.
Although Miss Zhou was tough, she dared in front of the old prince, put her hands on it, walked to Baochun depressedly, picked up the strawberries on the table and ate them.
Baochun, who was in the sun on the recliner, looked at her, "Is the child fun?" ”
Zhou Tianxin puffed out his cheeks and nodded violently, "It's fun, it's so fun, it's soft, it's cute, it's not good, you laugh when you tease them, little hands, little feet, it's all small, kicking indiscriminately, it's all cute......"
Baochun said, "Since you like it, you will give birth to one." ”
Zhou Tianxin pursed his lips, "Do you think this is a hen laying eggs, saying that she will be born, but this big girl hasn't even become a parent, who will she give birth to?" ”
"It's ready-made." The old princess carried a plate of snacks and put it on the table.
"Who?" When Zhou Tianxin saw the snack, his eyes immediately lit up, swallowed the strawberry in his mouth, and reached out to grab the snack.
The old princess stabbed her in the head angrily, "Pretend to be stupid for me, your master has told me that he wants to handle the marriage for you, and it just so happens that your brother is also here, I will find a time to discuss with him another day to discuss the matter of marriage." ”
"Marriage?" Zhou Tianxin almost choked to death by dim sum, "When did I say that I married him?" ”
"Does that need to be said?" The old princess glared at her, "You have a concubine who intends to ......."
Zhou Tianxin was embarrassed, "Who has a concubine with him, you are blind." ”
The old princess sighed, "I'm blind, Baochun, tell me, am I dizzy?" ”
Bao Chun smiled, "Mother is hot-eyed, how can she look away?" Don't resist anymore, go ahead. ”
Zhou Tianxin waved his hand, "If there is nothing, don't talk nonsense." ”
The old princess and Baochun are laughing somewhere.
"If you still laugh, don't laugh, if you laugh again, I'll go and make the little county lord cry." Miss Zhou's face flushed and threatened.
The old princess glanced at her, "Look at your little bit of interest, if you don't mess with her, she will already cry endlessly, and she still needs you." ”
"The surname Xu is here." Miss Zhou suddenly looked in the direction of the courtyard gate.
Baochun looked over, and the person who followed Rong Zheng was indeed our Xu Shangshu Xu.
"Why are you here?" Miss Zhou hugged her chest and looked at him, "Aren't you investigating the disappearance?" How did you find out? ”
"Just find out." Xu Wenshao rubbed his brows and sighed.
"Is that something?" Miss Zhou pulled over a stool for him.
Xu Wenshao nodded.
When the old princess saw that they had something to discuss, she got up and said, "I'll go and see the children, and don't let them linger in the sun for a long time." ”
Baochun sat up, turned over the cup on the table, poured water for a few people, and handed a glass of water to Rong Zheng, "What's wrong?" ”
Rong Zheng took the cup, "Let him speak." ”
"Something to do with me?" Bao Chun is sensitively aware of something.
"It should be said that it is the emperor." Xu Wenshao put down the cup.
"Your Majesty? Madame's father, what's wrong with him? Miss Zhou frowned, "I remember that if it's correct, this will soon be the annual worship ceremony again, and the emperor and his old man should be very busy." ”
Xu Wenshao nodded, "You're right, I'm here for this matter." ”
Baochun looked at Xu Wenshao.
Xu Wenshao sighed, "The missing case has been investigated for so long and there has been no progress, not to mention, those people on the rivers and lakes are still missing, but in the morning, the person who followed the case reported to me that someone had seen the missing person." ”
"Where?" Miss Zhou asked.
"Great Power Temple." Xu Wenshao said.
"What did the Great Power Temple do?" Miss Zhou shook her head, "This is impossible, the Great Dao Temple is known as the first temple of the Great Rong Dynasty, and it has always been known as the temple of the Zhenguo, how could they do such a thing?" ”
Xu Wenshao said, "You have such a temper, who said they did it?" Are you waiting for me to finish? ”
"Shall I just say that?" Miss Zhou said, "You say, you go on." ”
Xu Wenshao continued, "Someone sneaked into the Great Dao Temple and was pulled out......"
Bao Chun sighed, "They are the missing people." ”
Xu Wenshao said, "Yes, it's exactly the same as on the portrait." ”
"What do they want to do when they appear in the Great Power Temple?" Miss Zhou touched her chin and pondered.
"What about people?" Baochun asked.
"It's dead." Xu Wenshao said, "After being found out, these people resisted fiercely, and their kung fu was extremely high, and the lethality was extremely high, and there were many casualties in the temple. ”
Miss Zhou swallowed, "These people on the rivers and lakes are used to freedom, and they rarely obey people's orders, let alone commit suicide like this." ”
"How many?" Baochun asked.
"There are two people who have been pulled out." Xu Wenshao said, "Master Xuanyin has already investigated thoroughly, after all, the worship ceremony is in the Great Power Temple." ”
"You suspect that these people are going for the emperor." Baochun thought for a while and said.
"Otherwise, what are they going to do in the Great Power Temple?" Xu Wenshao asked rhetorically.
Bao Chun nodded, "It seems that I can only think so." ”
"Therefore, the matter is very important, I don't know how many people are still hiding in secret, and before they find out, they can't take risks, let alone risk the emperor's life."
Baochun understood Xu Wenshao's intention, "Do you want me to enter the palace to persuade the emperor to cancel the worship ceremony?" ”
Xu Wenshao said, "The minister has persuaded him, but he just doesn't listen, and you are the only one who can persuade him." ”
Baochun shook his head, "It's useless for me to advise, it's easy to say anything else, but the worship ceremony is not good, it's related to the country's peace and security in the coming year, and it's also about the prestige of the royal family, so I can't persuade it." ”
"That's what Master Xuanyin said too." Xu Wenshao said, "By the way, the master also asked me to give you a message, so that if you have time, go and check the corpse." ”
"What did Senior Brother find on the corpse?" Baochun hurriedly asked.
Xu Wenshao shook his head, "The master didn't say anything, he just made it possible for you to take a look." ”
Baochun thought for a while and said, "Senior brother said so, it is very likely that the corpse has been found strange, without further ado, go now." ”
He was about to say to the man beside him, but the man spoke first, "I have asked someone to prepare the carriage." ”
Baochun was not ready to take the children, and only left after feeding the children.
The four of them came to the Great Power Temple, and Xuan Yin personally greeted them out.
After a few small conversations, the senior brother and sister went straight to the point and led the person to the place where the body was stored.
Due to the special nature of the case, the bodies of these two people have not yet had time to be transported to the criminal department.
On the way, Master Xuanyin talked in detail about how to capture these two people, as well as the good kung fu of these two people, which is basically the same as what Xu Wenshao said.
Baochun asked the senior brother, "Has the master come back?" ”
Xuan Yin shook his head and sighed, "If only the master and his old man were here, we would know what these people want to do." ”
It's time to speak.
Hyun Yin ordered someone to open the door.
The corpse was covered with a white cloth, and Xu Wenshao stepped forward to lift the white cloth.
In fact, there is no need to lift the white cloth, Baochun has already seen it clearly.
Xuan Yin said, "As soon as the poor monk restrained him, his eyes, ears, and mouth were full of blood. ”
Bao Chun walked to the corpse, took out a silver needle, and in the corner of his eye, after a few fiddling, a white soft thing appeared, the size of a pearl.
Xu Wenshao and Miss Zhou gasped, and couldn't help but ask in unison, "What is this?" ”
Baochun shook his head and looked at his senior brother, "I don't know this thing either, but I think it should be the one who caused this person's death." ”
Miss Zhou swallowed, "It looks so disgusting." ”
Xuan Yin looked at it for a long time, "It's like a Gu worm." ”
"Gu worms?" Bao Chun was surprised.
"Actually, I haven't seen it either." Xuan Yin said, "The realm of the Great Rong Dynasty rarely appears, and most of these evil things are in the south. ”
Miss Zhou said, "Isn't that Princess Han Xiao in Beiwu good at these evil and crooked things? Could it be that she is not dead? ”
Rong Zheng also looked at Baochun.
Baochun said, "No way, I saw her die with my own eyes, unless the person who died that day was someone else's fake." ”
Miss Zhou said, "It's not impossible that there is such a possibility, the prince of Chu Nan can still transform into someone else." ”
Bao Chun was extremely determined, "The appearance and body can be illusory, but human feelings cannot be illusory, and since we fought with her, we have not seen her use Gu, it is all poison or poisonous snakes and the like." ”
Miss Zhou thought for a moment, "It seems like this." ”
Rong Zheng said, "It seems that these missing people have been arrested and used to control zhì." ”
Several people couldn't help but be stunned.
"Who is that?" Xu Wenshao frowned.
"Surely there are people with bad intentions." Miss Zhou said.
Rong Zheng said, "It's not just bad intentions, it's very likely that there is a huge conspiracy hidden, first the map of the temple, then the disappearance of the people in the rivers and lakes, and then the murder in the temple, is there a connection between this, and what kind of connection?" ”
"By figuring out the connections between these, maybe we can know what they're going to do." ”
Xu Wenshao said, "At present, the most urgent thing is the worship ceremony, and the most important thing to guard against is that they will assassinate the emperor." ”
Xuan Yin said, "Yes, the emperor's temperament, the things decided cannot be changed, and he will not cancel them because he is afraid of assassination." ”
Baochun said, "How long is it until the ceremony?" ”
"There are three days left." ”
"It's obviously not easy to find out in three days." Baochun thought for a while, "Otherwise, Lord Xu will continue to investigate, and Senior Brother will continue to prepare for the worship ceremony, and we will personally accompany the escort at that time." ”
"That's fine." Xuan Yin said.
When I went back, several people didn't have smiling faces, and their mood was quite heavy.
Xu Wenshao said solemnly, "It is not something that ordinary people can do to arrest these masters on the rivers and lakes without realizing it, and I always feel that something big is about to happen." ”
Back at the palace, Rong Zheng went to find his father.
Baochun returned to the courtyard, and the old princess looked at her and asked carefully, "Is it okay?" ”
The old princess is not a woman who doesn't know anything, and Baochun doesn't hide it, she briefly talks about the discovery in the Great Power Temple, and instructs, "The capital has been very unquiet recently, and my mother had better not go out." ”
The old princess nodded cautiously, "It's too scary, I'm not going anywhere, I'm just watching the children at home." ”
