Chapter 51: Rejuvenation
"I'll help you find out what happened, but you have to do something for me." Yue Yinxian said very calmly, he knew that Sikong Mubai would agree.
"Okay, you say."
"I heard that there is a pill left over from the previous dynasty hidden in the Heavenly Domain Palace, ordinary people take it to prolong their lives, and seriously ill people can eliminate all diseases if they eat it, I want it." Yue Yinxian wasn't really sure if this rumor was true or not, because he had only heard it from his mother once, so he used it to see if it really existed.
"Okay, deal."
For Sikong Mubai, no panacea is as important as Su Zhiyuan's life.
Yue Yinxian didn't expect that there really was such a pill, but he just smiled lightly to hide his excitement.
After a few people came out of the room, Yue Yinxian went to see Su Zhiyuan again, asked the whole story of the day, and then asked Sikong Mubai: "Have you asked the coachman who has been waiting outside the manor?" ”
"I asked, the coachman said, after Miss Su entered the manor, she came out and closed the door after a while, I asked her where she was going, she didn't speak, and went directly to the back of the manor." Ye Qing's memory is very good, and he can basically retell the words of all the witnesses.
"That's it, Su Zhiyuan said that she hasn't come out since she entered the manor, someone closed the door from the outside, right?" Yue Yinxian pointed out the irrationality of the two testimonies.
"If what they said is true, then it means a problem, Su Zhiyuan, who closed the door from the outside, is simply Su Zhiyuan himself." Sikong Mubai really made sense at one point, he just learned that the Gu worm was used to change his face, and combined with his testimony, he could guess the truth of the matter.
"That's right, so we're going to find this person who is pretending to be Su Zhiyuan." As soon as Yue Yinxian dealt with it like this, things suddenly became much simpler.
"But this man can change his face at any time, how do we know who is him?" Ye Qing thought that this problem was difficult to deal with.
"A person who uses Gu worms to change his face can only last for a stick of incense, and after a stick of incense time, he will automatically change back to his face, so try to find it, see how lucky you are, can you find someone whose face will change back and forth." Yue Yin said with a grin.
Ye Qing's face was all green, if that person didn't change someone else's face, they would never find this person?
"Isn't there any other clue?"
"I'm going to climb the bed of the big girl and the little daughter-in-law, so I won't accompany me. Find out for yourselves. Yue Yinxian now finally has the feeling of revenge, and her heart is full of smiles.
Sikong Mubai sent almost all the shadows to look for it, but it was not easy to find someone whose face would change back and forth, so several days passed, and there was still no clue at all.
In the end, Yue Yin envied them so headless flies and crashed into each other, and after watching the play for a long time, he finally found out in his conscience, he told Ye Qing: "There is a simple way, if you want to use Gu worms to change your face, you can only feed Gu with your body, so this person's face must not be very good, because he raises Gu worms on his heart and raises them with his own essence and blood, and besides, this person's hair will not be very good, and even a little thin, as long as you go to find it according to this standard, and then take off the clothes of the person who meets this standard, See if he has one of those bugs in his heart, and he can find it. ”
Doesn't that narrow down the scope a lot? The face is not good, the hair is yellow, and the figure is even a little thin, and then I picked up my clothes to find it.
Three days later, Yue Yinxian and Sikong Mubai finally waited for a piece of good news: "I caught the person you said." ”
Good guy, this person not only has a bad face, he is simply a skeleton statue, he was stripped of his clothes, and his hands were tied there, if this look was seen by Su Zhiyuan, Su Zhiyuan must have felt that he was a person who had been addicted to drugs for many years, who would have thought that he would actually feed Gu with his body.
Ye Qing felt very curious, and took a closer look, and sure enough, there was a bug lying on his heart, and the bug was not outside the body, but through a thin layer of flesh, inside the skin.
This sight...... Ye Qing felt that he couldn't stand it a little, and he almost threw up directly.
"What's your name?" Sikong Mubai glanced him up and down, his eyes like electricity.
"Yao Yujun." That man is honest now, probably knowing that what he did has been exposed, and now he can only be a man and a fish and a meat, or it is better to be obedient.
After hearing his name, Yue Yinxian's face changed, and she said in surprise: "You said you are Yao Yujun?" ”
"Any questions?" Seeing his startled appearance, Ye Qing hurriedly asked, is there anything different about this person's identity?
"Yao Yujun, I was also a member of our Yue clan before, but because of my private cultivation of forbidden Gu, I was expelled by my mother to abolish my martial arts and expelled from the clan, I didn't expect to meet him here." Yue Yinxian observed him carefully for a while, shook her head and sighed: "Yao Yujun back then was also a famous beautiful man in Loulan, but I didn't expect that after many years, he would actually become like this." ”
Ye Qing heard that this ugly monster used to be a beautiful man, and couldn't help but take a closer look at this Yao Yujun.
In the end, he really couldn't hold back, turned his head and asked Yue Yinxian: "Do you Loulan have any misunderstanding about beautiful men, such a person, what do I think, and it can't be related to the three words of beautiful men?" ”
Yue Yinxian shook her head and sighed: "Wrong, the aesthetic level of our Loulan people is still very high, with my appearance, we can only rank in the middle of Loulan, beautiful man, no matter how you say it, it has to be like your Royal Highness King Rui." ”
Sikong Qianche is indeed very good-looking, a face is charming and masculine, and the contours of his facial features are very good-looking.
"Then he ...... like this," Ye Qing swallowed with difficulty.
"Cultivating the rejuvenation technique itself is against the way of heaven, after a long time, not only will the essence of the body itself be lost, but it will also make the body worse and worse, it is not unusual for him to be like this." Yue Yinxian explained, squinted and observed Yao Yujun, and made a conclusion: "When he left Loulan, someone must have helped him, and this person's identity is still very noble, or very rich, and he has been using expensive drugs to help him replenish his body, otherwise, he may have been eaten by the mother Gu a long time ago." ”
When Sikong Mubai heard this, he suddenly interjected and asked, "You mean, the people who helped him are in this capital nine times out of ten?" ”
"It should be, and there must be a grudge against Su Zhiyuan, who wants Su Zhiyuan to die very much, who do you think there will be?" When Yue Yinxian asked others, she was also thinking about it, but they could think of such a big grudge against Su Zhiyuan, and there was only one person who was either rich or noble: Princess Chuhan.
"It's Princess Chuhan, isn't it? You were sent by Princess Chuhan to deliberately frame Su Zhiyuan? Sikong Mubai was instantly furious when he thought of the real situation.
"No, it's not Princess Chuhan, it's not her, it's me, it's me who wants to kill Su Zhiyuan, I can't get used to her, I want to kill her......" At the mention of Princess Chuhan, Yao Yujun suddenly became excited, which was contrary to the previous characters.
But the more he objected to it, the more it showed that Princess Chuhan was suspicious.
"Do you know Su Zhiyuan? What kind of enmity do you have with her? What's more, with your current state, you can't even take care of yourself, and you still want to kill Su Zhiyuan, let's be honest, otherwise this king will not be polite. Sikong Mubai directly debunked his lies and let him confide in himself the true situation.
Yao Yujun insisted that he didn't know Princess Chuhan, and he was going to kill Su Zhiyuan.
Sikong Mubai sneered: "If you don't say it, I won't be able to find out what the relationship between you and Situ Chuhan is?" Rest assured, you can choose not to say it, this king has time to let you say it slowly. ”
Sikong Mubai instructed Ye Qing: "Order someone to go to Xuanyue to investigate, what is the relationship between Yao Yujun and Situ Chuhan, come and report immediately." ”
Sure enough, soon Ye Qing found the news, and when he handed the news to Sikong Mubai, Sikong Mubai just glanced at it, and directly took Yue Yinxian with him and entered the cell again.
Yao Yujun hadn't eaten for three days, the essence of his body had not been replenished, and the female Gu worm seemed to be a little underfed, and she looked very irritable, torturing Yao Yujun for a while, making him look as terrible as a skeleton crawling out of hell.
"Yao Yujun, what you don't say, this king has already found out, do you want to hear it?"
"What?" Yao Yujun's voice was already a little inaudible, but when it came to Situ Chuhan, he still wanted to know what Sikong Mubai had found.
"You were rescued by Situ Chuhan after you were kicked out of Loulan, and then you were taken back to the house as a pet for so many years, she gave you food and clothing, but she just wanted to use you to exclude dissidents and let you kill people with Gu worms, so that she looked more like a little princess who didn't know anything about the world, right?"
"Hehe......" Yao Yujun sneered and was noncommittal.
"Don't worry, what's more, originally you were just a pet, or even just a tool, but this tool actually fell in love with the owner, so you are even more desperate to kill for her, no matter what she wants to do, you will do it for him without reservation, including this time, she recruited you all the way to let you kill Su Zhiyuan, right?"
Hearing Sikong Mubai speak, Yao Yujun's face completely turned gray, and his eyes lost any brilliance, at first glance, it was really like dead.
"That's it, I'll leave it to you, this king needs to enter the palace immediately to report this matter to his father." Sikong Mubai handed Yao Yujun over to Ye Qing, entered the palace with Yue Yinxian, and returned the matter to the emperor.
Originally, this matter involved Su Xiang's daughter, and he felt that it was difficult to deal with it, and then the public opinion was in an uproar, but his son persuaded him to wait, and it was not too late to judge after the investigation was clear. Yun Guifei washed her face with tears every day, which made him upset.
So the emperor also felt that he was very embarrassed, and he looked forward to a result every day.
On the Yin side of Shuntian Mansion, although Su Zhiyuan was also interrogated about the details of the murder every day, Su Zhiyuan always said: "I didn't kill anyone, I don't know the deceased, I have no reason to kill her." ”
The matter was not clear, and he didn't dare to punish Su Zhiyuan, so he could only ask over and over again, but he couldn't ask any result at all, and he felt very annoyed after asking for a long time.
Sikong Mubai's side is also investigating the truth of the matter every day, and even involving the Dali Temple of the Criminal Department, so many people are dispatched, and they almost failed to find clues.
Now that Sikong Mubai has finally figured out everything, he naturally told the emperor the truth as soon as possible.
After Sikong Mubai stated the matter, he said directly: "Father, the son thinks that the truth of the matter is clear, so Su Zhiyuan should be released immediately, and everyone should know the whole story of this matter, so that Su Zhiyuan's grievances can be cleared." ”
The emperor was a little worried about the impact of this matter, after all, it involved Princess Chuhan, and if it didn't get it right, the relationship between the two countries would immediately become tense again.
"Erchen thinks that Su Zhiyuan should be released immediately, and her innocence should be returned, and Su Xiang's family should be appeased well, this matter also made them wronged, as for Princess Chuhan, don't tell the people, just repair a letter here, just inform Emperor Xuanyue, let him go back and discipline his daughter by himself." The prince really wanted to be more interested in the relationship.
"In this way, let's do it according to the prince's wishes, pick a few things that girls like from the Internal Affairs Office and send them to Su Zhiyuan to suppress the shock, Su Xiang's side, or Che'er personally came to the door to explain to Su Xiang, I hope he will not have any estrangement to the court because of this matter." The emperor was very appreciative of the prince's statement, and immediately let people do it.
Sikong Mubai is still upset about Su Zhiyuan, but there is no way, the emperor is full of words, even if he is unhappy, he can only pass it for the time being.
Sikong Mubai and Sikong Qianche personally went to pick up Su Zhiyuan from the prison of Shuntian Mansion.
Sikong Mubai looked at Su Zhiyuan, who had obviously lost a lot of weight, and said with some distress: "I didn't do a good job in this matter, and I can't get justice for you, but we can't deny what my father did, because once you really provoke trouble with Xuanyue again, I don't know how many soldiers will spill blood on the battlefield, so this matter can only be wronged by you for the time being." ”
For the rest of his life after the catastrophe, Su Zhiyuan didn't care what the emperor would do, even if he cared, he couldn't change anything, it was better to accept it generously.
"It's okay, this is already good, as long as you don't die unjustly, everything can get by."
Seeing that Su Zhiyuan could still laugh when he was so wronged, Sikong Mubai was even more distressed: "Don't worry, I will help you find justice sooner or later." ”
"That's right, the way to find justice is not only to get permission from my father, leave it to me, sooner or later, this Chuhan princess will have to pay the price she should pay." Sikong Qianche was also very determined to comfort her, looking at that, these two people already had their own little abacus.
