The emperor showed an unfathomable smile on his face, if there was anything this smile meant, it might be...... Satisfied?

Lin Hui was a little puzzled, this emperor's mind was really ...... It's special.

"Hmm." The emperor nodded, and the meaning of satisfaction became more and more obvious: "You still have a heart." Although I have some movement in the matter of investigating witch Gu, you can find that at least I put my mind into it, and the timing of bringing it up is not bad. ”

The second prince raised his head, his face was full of surprise, and he said strangely: "Father also found that there is a statue of a witch?" Have you already arranged for someone to check? Then he kowtowed again and pleaded: "Father is wise! Witch Gu can harm people invisibly, don't be careless, and ask your father to listen to the words of his son, and move quickly. ”

The surprise in Lin Hui's heart was no less than that on the face of the second prince, because of the cause of Jin Yuji's death before, the emperor had also discussed the matter of witchcraft with him, and he was obviously unimpressed at the time, why did he listen to it now, it seems that the emperor is really investigating this?

Witch Gu is not an ordinary trouble to investigate.

The main reason is that things are small. Whether it's a raised Gu worm or a puppet used for curses, it's not large. On the other hand, the court is not small. It is difficult to find a small witchcraft in a small court...... Not explained.

If you really want to check, there are no more than two ways, one is to search, and the other is to dig.

The incidents that have always involved witchcraft are all large-scale and wide-ranging. If it's not grandiose, there's no way to find things, and it's not extensive, and it's impossible to explain the witch's modus operandi.

What can be called a witch Gu is not a matter of getting a villain to insert a few needles in the imagination. That kind of pediatrics also wants to shake the royal foundations?

Something that witches must have. For example, it is not easy to get the birth date of a person who wants to suppress nightmares. For those who have a little foundation, the birth date is kept in the ancestral hall, except for parents and other very close people, outsiders basically have no way to know. It is not until some major matters, such as discussing relatives, that the eight characters will be taken out to unite and merge.

As for the royal family, it is even more rigorous. Starting from the history of the concubine's bed, the birth of every royal child has been carefully tracked. After birth, the eight characters of the birth date will be recorded in the jade, which is specially kept in the jade library of the Zongren Mansion. It was revised only every 10 years.

Zhuang Zhengshan was not a prince when he was born. But after grabbing the throne, of course, the banker's jade vault will be established, and the original banker's genealogy will be "upgraded" to the royal level. And these were all years ago.

In any case, the emperor's birthday is by no means scattered everywhere. You can get it. It's hard to say whether the queen knows it or not.

If someone is scheming. Decades ago, I paid attention to the collection of Zhuang Zhengshan's eight characters, and left it for future use, which can basically be regarded as ...... Nonsense.

In addition to the objective difficulties of obtaining information. Witchcraft is called "witch" because it requires a specific person to practice it. It's not like anyone who picks up a needle and can prick it out. Just as a positive magic weapon needs to be "enlightened" and "blessed" by a monk, negative witchcraft things also need to be "witches."

People who believe in witch Gu believe that the effect of witch Gu is positively related to the "witch" ability that drives "Gu". If you want to murder a heavyweight person like the emperor, you must need a great witch with very powerful mana.

Therefore, if you want to practice witchcraft, you must first try to find out how to get the emperor's birthday.

Then you have to sneak around, sneaky, and carefully raise Gu worms, that is, poisonous snakes, poisonous spiders, poisonous scorpions, poisonous centipedes, and the like.

After the Gu worms are raised, they will use the juice of these Gu worms or filthy things such as feces to pollute the puppet, and ask the puppet to be blessed with dark mana.

In the end, it has to be placed in an effective area that can be effective.

Lin Hui felt that those who could do these things should also have the ability to kill the emperor directly.

Therefore, it is a very stupid thing to do witchcraft, and most of the time no one does it.

Most of the so-called witch incidents are "witch Gu"; Or just a small appearance of a small person, only to be found and magnified into a witch.

Lin Hui suddenly remembered the team of "farm workers" she saw a few days ago.

No wonder the emperor said "there is some movement", it seems that most of those people are in the name of planting flowers and grass, but they are actually responsible for digging witch things.

When Lin Huidong thought about it, no one in the room spoke, and the second prince stubbornly asked the emperor to move, but the emperor didn't react, and he could only continue to keep his head arched. Concubine Jin played with a golden orange, her eyes drooping and she didn't know what she was thinking.

"Actually, if you want to move, there are not many places to choose from in a hurry." The emperor spoke again, and said very slowly: "It's nothing more than the Qianxin Hall or the Ningguang Palace. ”

"Qianxin Hall is my dormitory, it's not easy to do tricks, you will definitely oppose it on the grounds that it is too close, then only the Ningguang Palace and the Jade Palace are left."

Now the place where the emperor stays is the side hall of the Qianxin Palace, which is specially packed up for treatment and recuperation, and it is of course too close to the main hall of the Qianxin Palace. And the Ningguang Hall and the Jade Palace are also places where the emperor sometimes lives, if you move, you will naturally choose one of these two places, instead of finding another remote palace.

"The floor in the Hall of Condensation has recently broken two pieces, and it has just been mended. The account of the Jade Palace is old and has been replaced. ”

The emperor said two things that could not be more small than in a hurry.

And the second prince, who was kneeling on the ground, gradually stiffened.

It is not easy to arrange means in the court, and it is even more difficult to kill people quietly and invisibly.

The bluestone slabs used to pave the Hall of Light are specially made, and a special stone is added to them, and it is said that all those who have come into contact with this stone have all festered and died.

The new brocade tent of the Jade Palace, the silver thread embroidered on the top is soaked in mercury. If a person sleeps in it, he will soon become distraught and unwell, and he will fall into a coma.

Both of these things were pointed out by the emperor, that is, the emperor had been guarding against them for a long time.

"There are also problems with the objects around me." The emperor said and pointed to the drawer of the bedside table, and said to Concubine Jin, "Take out the jade box inside." ”

Inside the jade box was a ball of cotton.

The cotton is snow-white, not black-hearted cotton, but it exudes a very nice and faint fragrance.

This time, even Concubine Jin's movements were a little sluggish.

"Smells good, huh?" The emperor said coldly: "It's a pity that this good smell is terrible, if you smell too much, you will see illusory things and become crazy, well, it is very similar to the situation of being caught in the witch Gu." ”

"This has nothing to do with Erchen!" The second prince pointed to the jade box, and his fingers trembled like an old man in the last years of the wind and candles: "Father Emperor Mingjian!" Erchen really didn't do anything! ”

If it was said that after hearing that the matter of the Ningguang Palace and the Jade Palace was discovered, the second prince's heart was like ashes, after seeing the jade box, the second prince found a glimmer of hope.

He is not the only one who wants to harm the emperor, so there is hope that he will push everything on the other. (To be continued.) )
