Chapter 042: Gu Calamity
Modo Khan turned twenty years old at the beginning of this year, and the most respected concubine in his harem was the side concubine known as the "Eye of the Heavenly Maiden", and the daughter of Lamulun.
Two months ago, the doctor reported that she was pregnant, and Modo was ecstatic, and Tete Chi went to the shaman temple to pray for blessings, hoping that the concubine would give birth to a prince for herself, so that she could inherit the throne from him.
He also obediently went to the shamanic temple every day to pray for blessings, and even brought a shaman's mother-in-law into the king's tent to live with him, and made a wish day and night, hoping to give birth to a man for the Khan's husband in one fell swoop.
After the third watch of the night, with a terrible cry in the princess's tent, Modo Khan woke up from his dream, and saw the shaman's mother-in-law hurriedly come out of the princess's tent and pray:
"Great Khan, the princess suddenly has unbearable abdominal pain, Great Khan come and take a look."
Modo was immediately frightened, and before he could put on his clothes, he ran to visit the princess's tent, for fear that something would happen to the prince in her womb.
Under the tossing and turning of the shaman's mother-in-law and the medicine woman, and after choking and crying for half a night, about the fourth watch, the abdominal pain gradually stopped and fell into a deep sleep.
Only then did Modo Khan settle down, holding the side concubine in his arms, and gradually closing his eyes with the expectation of the little prince in her womb.
Before the fifth watch arrived, the sky had just cleared, but he heard Mama Liu, who often accompanied him close to him, the genuine Kedun and Princess Yicheng, crying outside the king's tent in a carriage.
Modo's newly settled heart was frightened and jumped wildly, and he endured the anger rising in his heart and asked:
"What dare you make a noise outside the king's tent?"
Mama Liu broke through the samurai's blockade, threw herself at the feet of Modo and cried:
"Khan help, our princess suddenly has abdominal pain, I don't know if she was hit by something."
Modo Khan felt that the situation today was very strange, and he had no clue for a while, so he simply packed up and rode into the princess's mansion.
Princess Yicheng was still in the bedroom, her face was dripping with cold sweat, her lips were pale, and her abdomen was so painful that she couldn't speak.
Looking at the pale-faced old woman in the tent, his former stepmother and now his titular wife, Modo suddenly felt pity.
Turning his head to the group of subordinates kneeling on the ground, he scolded hatefully:
"Check it out for me, find out who is not serving well, and Ben Khan will punish him severely."
Seeing that the guards entered the door and dragged out a group of subordinates to beat them, he hurriedly asked the doctor how to treat her, and only then did she reluctantly relax when she saw the doctor prepare the medicine.
Worried about meeting the Dachen delegation at noon, Modo comforted Yoshisei on the sickbed, told her to recuperate, ignored her pleading eyes, and waited to leave.
Seeing the people in the courtyard who were crying and grabbing the ground under the beating of the guards, Modo couldn't help but feel dizzy again, and a blood-stained person rushed to his front and hugged his legs.
"Great Khan and Great Khan, the princess is very sick, it must have been poisoned by Diao Nu, and the Khan can't let go of this villain!"
Mo Duo fixed his eyes and saw that this person was the talented Mama Liu, so he reluctantly suppressed his mind and asked:
"How are you going to stay?"
"According to the servant, the gangster will definitely have time to destroy the evidence of the crime in the future, and if the Khan searches the princess's mansion, he will definitely get something."
With his hand on his forehead, Modo called over one of the nearest guards and commanded:
"Let Mama Liu take you around to search and see if there is any evidence of the slave and the master."
He himself had to go back to Yicheng's bedroom again, and while using the breakfast offered by his subordinates indiscriminately, he waited impatiently for the results of the search.
searched for an hour, but there was no result, only to see Mama Liu pointing to the room where Princess Yicheng lived and ordered:
"Even if it was a mistake when serving the master, the evidence of the crime is still in the princess's room."
As he spoke, he led two guards into the hall and looked at every corner lightly.
On the chaise longue near the window in the second room, a fox skin blanket is stacked, which should have been just sat by Yicheng, and the next person has not yet put it away.
Mama Liu picked up the fox fur casually, and when it was about to be folded and put away, an object slipped from the blanket, and there was a crisp sound of "clanging", which was heard all over the house.
Modo jumped up from the couch and took three steps and two steps into the second room.
On the ground lies quietly a blood-red round bowl, which is spread in the scarlet silk cloth commonly used by Yicheng, and on the satin is a puppet wrapped in white satin, and there are three blood characters on the body full of embroidery needles:
Also add cause.
The objects commonly used by Yicheng are written in Chinese characters, and the closest grandmother has flipped out of the things she often uses, and the matter is obvious.
The guards and subordinates around him gathered more and more, because the old khan died of the witch doctor's poison, the Tuxilu people often had an instinctive fear of witch Gu, and the fear could involve their endless imagination.
From time to time, a few words broke into Modo's ears as the crowd deliberately suppressed the chatter:
“…… The death of the princess is also due to the death of the Great Khan, and it will not be Prince Mokoli who will do it in the future."
"The shaman's mother-in-law protects the princess, and the curse is returned to the person who is under the Gu by the shaman's mother-in-law......"
“…… The princess had a lot of abdominal pain last night, and she almost couldn't even save the little prince in her belly."
Hold back the anger rising in her heart, this Han woman is so vicious, she dares to do anything vicious for the sake of her own son's khan throne!
Mo Duo waved the horsewhip in his hand and whipped it indiscriminately at the people who were talking, until a trace of calm gradually flashed in his mind, and he remembered that there was indeed an envoy to meet today.
He stopped indignantly, ignoring the whimpering sound of Yoshicheng on the sickbed.
rushed out of the princess's mansion and jumped on horseback, stabbed the horse's belly with the tip of his boot, and rode away towards the king's tent one by one.
At the end of the day, the Khan of Modo ascended to the king's tent and brought the kings of the three tribes on the golden throne to invite the Tulun delegation to the audience.
King Lamulun, who was at the top of the main seat, watched a man wearing a hat at the end of the mission slowly approaching with a gloomy gaze, and did not hide the killing intent in his eyes.
Shifan quickly glanced at the people in the tent, lowered his eyelids and held back the doubts in his eyes, Princess Yicheng did not appear.
Looking up again at the Modo Khan on the throne in the middle, Shifan was gentle and sincere.
With his hands crossed over his chest, he landed on one knee and shouted loudly:
"Dachen Lin Shifan, on the orders of His Majesty the Emperor of our dynasty, he sent a delegation to Tuxilu to meet with the Great Khan of Modo, in order to re-establish a mutual alliance with your country and rebuild a good neighborly and friendly country."
Fei Wenli, who was next to the Tuxilu warrior himself, took the letter of state written by Emperor Dachen himself, and Moduo Khan took the letter of state and quickly glanced at it and handed it to the attendant beside him, looking very tired.
Shi Fan and the others sat down one after another under the guidance of his attendants, and he deliberately held Ah Lan, who was wearing a hood, and placed him on the seat under his head, only a few steps away from the throne of the Modo Khan.
As if unintentionally, he arched his hand to Modo at the table and asked:
"I wonder why I don't see your country here today? The minister also brought some Dachen specialties, which His Majesty the Emperor specially instructed to give to the princess before leaving. ”
Keen to catch the flash of anger on Modo's face, Shifan was still puzzled in his heart, but he heard the king of Lamulun on the other side speak, and there seemed to be mockery between his words:
"The princess of your country is not in good health, and I am afraid it will be difficult to come today."
King Lamulon gestured to one of his attendants, who bowed his head and went out of the tent.
Shifan suppressed the doubts in his heart and smiled at everyone one by one:
"On the way to your country, the minister happened to meet an old man ......"
"Bang", a waiter rushed in from outside the tent.
"Tell the Great Khan, someone outside the king's tent cut off his ears and begged to see the Great Khan, saying that there is a major grievance to appeal!"
