Chapter 354: Step by step
"Isn't the Imperial Doctor's prescription ineffective at all?" Yan Jinxuan asked again.
"Nope." Empress Kuang shook her head and replied.
That's kind of weird!
But no matter how strange the phenomenon is, the cause can be traced.
Yan Jinxuan shifted his gaze to the emperor again.
But seeing that the emperor's face was pale, his lips were black, his expression was painful, and he was delirious.
Yan Jinxuan observed him intently for a while.
Suddenly, Yan Jinxuan thought of something and immediately walked out.
"What did Lord Yan find?" The prince's voice came from behind Yan Jinxuan.
Yan Jinxuan had no choice but to stand still and look back at him calmly.
Their eyes met.
The prince was smiling and his eyes were gentle.
But Yan Jinxuan still caught something from his gaze.
It was something that flashed by, but it made Yan Jinxuan's heart flutter.
Yan Jinxuan pretended to be unaware, and replied with a smile: "Back to the prince, I haven't found anything for the time being." ”
"Then why are you in such a hurry to run out?" The prince followed and asked.
"I want to go to the official room next." Yan Jinxuan replied respectfully.
People have three urgencies, and this cannot wait.
The prince had no choice but to let him go.
Yan Jinxuan immediately left quickly.
When he arrived at the Taiji Hall where the Three Princes, Du Chenghuan, Liu Chengze and Fu Dapeng were located, Yan Jinxuan said to the Three Princes: "Please have someone find all the books on witchcraft in the Library Pavilion and the nearby bookstore, and you will need to use them later." ”
Everyone was shocked.
"Do you suspect that the emperor has been witchcrafted?" The third prince asked.
"I don't rule it out." Yan Jinxuan replied in a low voice.
"On what basis?"
"The symptoms are somewhat similar."
The three princes immediately sent people to the library and the nearby bookstore to find books on witchcraft.
"If someone really used witchcraft on the emperor, then who would it be?" The third prince pulled Yan Jinxuan aside and asked.
"Since there is no evidence. So it's not certain yet. Yan Jinxuan replied.
"It shouldn't be Yan Shichong, this king has been keeping a close eye on him recently." The third prince said.
"Well, I think so in the next, it doesn't do him any good to do it now." Yan Jinxuan said.
The third prince nodded.
After a while, the man who had been sent to look for books in the library came with a book that was tall with a head. People who went to the bookstore to buy books also came back with books one after another.
So, Yan Jinxuan, the Three Princes, Liu Chengze, Fu Dapeng and Du Chenghuan were buried in the book.
Due to the large number of books, it is not easy to find a description of this symptom from them, but everyone reads them carefully, and tries not to miss any passages with similar descriptions.
For a moment, there was no sound in the room except the sound of flipping books.
I don't know how much time has passed. Yan Jinxuan suddenly said, "I found it." ”
Everyone hurried over to see.
Really. There is a kind of witchcraft that produces symptoms like the emperor's current symptoms. This kind of witchcraft is mostly performed by gods and witches, and it can be performed by only obtaining the person's birthday, name, clothing, hair, and other related things, so it can be carried out from a distance and without being aware of it. Moreover, the book says: Whoever is subjected to this witchcraft will die within ten days if he does not find someone to resolve it, and he will die within a day or two if he is in poor health.
The people who can get these things naturally have to be people who often have close contact with the emperor.
Who could that be?
Suddenly. The eyes of the three princes lit up.
As it stands. If the emperor has something. The one who gets the most benefit is......
There was one person that immediately popped into his mind.
If it's that person, then everything is easy to explain.
But what about the evidence? Although there are good reasons, the absence of evidence is also in vain.
The third prince decided to stay quiet for now.
After all, the most important thing at the moment is to save the emperor's life.
So what kind of person do you want to find to resolve it for the emperor? The book doesn't explain how to solve it.
Anyway, though. Looking at the Ming Kingdom, there are still people who know how to understand witchcraft. So the third prince immediately sent someone to invite the Xuantian Dao chief who knew how to solve spells the most in the capital.
At this time, it was already late at night, but the faces of the five people sitting in the Taiji Hall were not sleepy. They will not dare to rest until things are clear.
Since Xuantian Dao lived on Bagua Mountain on the outskirts of the city, it would take about an hour to come even on horseback, so the three princes ordered someone to bring some supper to everyone to eat, so that everyone could wait while eating.
The emperor's body became weaker and weaker, and Empress Kuang lay beside his bedside and wept.
The crown prince looked at the emperor's painful appearance, and his heart struggled violently.
Father-in-law Lin walked in lightly at this time. He cautiously walked very close to the prince and glanced at the prince, who immediately got up and walked out.
When he returned to the East Palace, Gonggong Lin whispered to the crown prince: "The third prince has sent someone to invite the Xuantian Dao chief. ”
The prince was shocked.
So they should know the cause of the emperor's illness.
"Immediately send someone to intercept and kill the Xuantian Dao Master halfway. Also, don't leak the slightest rumor. The prince said.
"Yes." Gonggong Lin hurriedly retreated.
The prince paced restlessly around the room.
After pondering for a while, he sent a letter to General Deng and General Du, who were guarding Zhilin Street, asking them to prepare their men and horses immediately.
Next, he went to the Taiji Temple.
When everyone saw the prince coming, they all got up and greeted each other with courtesy.
"Why haven't you slept so late?" The prince asked.
"My father is still critically ill and doesn't dare to rest." The third prince hurriedly replied.
"My father and the queen mother are watching over there, you don't have to worry." The prince said.
"I'm not sleepy yet." The third prince said with a smile, looking at the crown prince with vigilance in his eyes.
"Then it's up to you, but Lord Yan and Lord Du should be tired, right? There is a banquet room next to it, so you can go and take a break. The prince looked at the others and said.
"Thank you for your concern!" The four of them hurriedly thanked in unison.
The prince glanced at everyone again, turned around with a faint smile and walked out.
After receiving the invitation letter from the three princes, the Xuantian Daoist followed the five people sent by the three princes down the mountain, and after arriving at the foot of the mountain, he changed to a carriage and rushed all the way to the palace non-stop.
When the group arrived at Changfeng Slope, they suddenly heard a swishing sound around them, and before everyone could react, they saw countless arrows shot on the carriage where the Xuantian Dao Chief was sitting.
The Xuantian Daoist not only knew spells, but also had martial arts, so he jumped towards the window of the carriage and skillfully dodged several arrows.
However, before he could stand still, he saw arrows rain down on him from two other directions. He hurriedly raised his sword to block it.
Two of the five people sent by the three princes had already fallen from arrows, and the other three struggled to protect the Xuantian Dao Master.
Needless to say, the Xuantian Dao Master also knew what the intentions of these people who killed him were, but he naturally would not be captured by them easily.
So he fought it with all his might.
After a few rounds, there were still three people left on the enemy's side, but only one Xuantian Dao Leader was left on the Xuantian Dao Chief's side.
The three of them all raised their swords and approached the Xuantian Dao Chief.
The Xuantian Dao Elder smiled slightly, let out a long roar towards the sky, and disappeared in an instant. (To be continued.) )
