Chapter 54: The Plague Spreads (1)
Time flies quickly, and before you know it, autumn is coming soon.
It has only been dozens of days since Ming Jue went on a scientific expedition.
These days, Sheng Mingyu has been detaining Mingjue in the house and not allowing him to go out without permission.
In order to ensure that Mingjue can successfully end the scientific examination, Sheng Mingyu can only do this.
In the past few days, Sheng Mingyu has been drawing a few evil charms in the study according to the "Taishang Xuan Miao Sutra".
After a few days, it will be the puja of the Five Peaks.
At that time, several other Taoist masters and real people will gather in Wuyue Temple to call for lectures, and the Dharma meeting of Wuyue Temple will be extremely grand, so she will prepare some more charms, maybe they will all be sold out by then.
Sheng Mingyu drew a scoop according to the gourd, drew a few pictures, only felt that it was difficult to draw tightly, and when he put down the talisman and was about to rest for a while, he heard a crisp knock on the door.
Sheng Mingyu opened the door, only to see Mingjue standing outside the house sweating profusely, carrying a food box in his hand, seeing Mingjue's gasping for breath, Sheng Mingyu knew that Mingjue must have rushed over.
It's just that Mingjue doesn't have a good rest in his own room, what are you doing running here?
"Jue'er, why did you think about coming over today?"
Sheng Mingyu spoke, returned to the house, took out a silk handkerchief, and handed it to Mingjue to wipe his sweat.
Mingjue took the silk handkerchief handed by Sheng Mingyu, wiped the beads of sweat on his head and face, and then raised his head to look at his sister in front of him.
"Sister, today I asked the small kitchen to make your favorite sesame shortbread, the small kitchen was just ready, put it in the food box, I quickly carried it over, it must be hot, sister try it quickly!"
While Ming Jue was talking, he opened the food box and brought over the steaming sesame shortbread in the food box.
Sheng Mingyu picked up one of the sesame shortbreads and found that it was still a little hot. Took a bite.
The sesame filling in the sesame shortbread is very sufficient, not sweet or greasy, just right, she knows that it is the craftsmanship of the little girl who is at ease as soon as she eats it.
Only that little girl can make such delicious sesame shortbread.
Watching Sheng Mingyu eat the sesame shortbread in his hand, Mingjue finally opened his mouth and told Sheng Mingyu the purpose of his coming over today.
"Sister, I heard from Mrs. Lu that a few days ago, my grandmother sent Mrs. Wu over and took you to the Shengguo Mansion. Ming Jue heard that in the Shengguo Mansion, the second uncle and mother wanted to decide the marriage of his sister, and the second uncle wanted his sister to marry the prince of the Yuan Palace. ”
"My sister didn't agree, so I offended my second uncle, and my second aunt said that I would use my future to blackmail my sister."
Mingjue's voice was intermittent, and when he spoke, he kept looking at Sheng Mingyu in front of him.
"Sister, don't bury your sister's lifelong event for the sake of Jue'er's future!"
Hearing Ming Jue say this, Sheng Mingyu smiled on his face, but he felt very relieved in his heart, Ming Jue was old after all, and he had his own thoughts in his heart.
"Jue'er rest assured, the second uncle and second uncle, and grandmother, they don't dare to touch my sister for the time being, if they really use your future to threaten my sister, my sister will not easily agree."
Sheng Mingyu didn't say anything, but secretly said in her heart, she naturally wouldn't let Sheng Guogong's group of people get their way!
If those people dared to hurt Ming Jue, she would definitely return it a thousand times over!
Sheng Mingyu ate a few more sesame shortbreads, and after explaining a few words to Ming Jue, he asked Ming Jue to go back first with peace of mind.
She won't let others continue to dictate her life!
If someone dares to dictate her life, she will not let those people go easily.
These days, Sheng Mingyu has been staying in the study in the front yard.
An Xin wanted to persuade Sheng Mingyu to go back to rest, but no matter how he persuaded him, Sheng Mingyu couldn't listen to it, and insisted on staying in the study in the front yard of the Sheng family's mansion.
Seeing that the girl couldn't listen to the persuasion, Anxin had no choice but to take the quilt over and cover Sheng Mingyu.
Early in the morning, before dawn, Sheng Mingyu just told Anxin to send Mingjue to a private school.
After Anxin sent Ming Jue to the private school and came back, he saw that Zhan Hongling had already brought the people from the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion and was outside the Sheng family's mansion.
And Sheng Mingyu changed his clothes and prepared to go out with Zhan Hongling.
"Girl, where are you going?"
Anxin walked up and asked with concern.
"I'm going to Yizhuang outside the city with Zhanyu! Go and go back, you stay in the house! ”
Sheng Mingyu finished speaking, glanced at the peace of mind in front of him, and followed Zhan Hongling into the carriage of the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion.
On the carriage, Zhan Hongling was wearing a red fast trapping suit, and her long black hair was tightly tied up with a jade crown, which was very bright and moving.
Sheng Mingyu glanced at her a few times, then turned his head away and stopped looking at her.
"I don't know if Zhan Zhu is coming to me today, what do you have to explain to me? I'll listen to it first, and then I'll think about going to Yizhuang outside the city with Zhan Zhu?"
Sheng Mingyu said this, but Zhan Hongling didn't care.
"There has been a new development in the case last time, don't you plan to hear about it?" Zhan Hongling picked up a hot tea on the high table, took a sip and said.
Has there been progress on the case last time?
Is it the case of murder and dismemberment?
Zhan Hongling didn't say that those people were the palace maids sent by Concubine Sheng in the palace to purchase medicinal materials in Liuzhou, Jiangzhou, could it be that this matter is really related to Concubine Sheng in the palace?
When Sheng Mingyu was silent, Zhan Hongling opened his mouth again.
"Miss Mingyu, the concubine Sheng in the palace, has been pregnant for a month. Half a month ago, the imperial doctor who had been conditioning Sheng Guifei's body suddenly fell ill and died, and the imperial hospital urgently dispatched the imperial doctor to regulate Sheng Guifei's body. ”
"Imperial Doctor Zhang said that Concubine Sheng's birth must be the prince! Duchess Sheng Guo and Old Lady Sheng have already entered the palace at the behest of the queen's mother. ”
"Some people think that this matter is too strange, and they are afraid that the royal blood will be confused by the treacherous villain, so they instructed the Imperial City Division and told us to go down to the Yamen of Kaifeng Mansion to investigate secretly. In the end, where did the four palace maids who served in Concubine Sheng's palace go to the things they brought into Beijing a few days ago? How could Concubine Sheng suddenly get pregnant?"
Sheng Mingyu remembered that Sheng Ruhua's current infant Ning eldest princess was Sheng Ruhua's first year of being favored by the official family.
In the following years, Sheng Ruhua was unable to get pregnant.
In the palace, the mother has always relied on the son, Sheng Ruhua has no prince, only relying on the eldest princess.
If his official family is unfortunate in the future, then Sheng Ruhua's fate will not be much better.
And Sheng Ruhua favored the six palaces before, and pressed on Queen Zhao everywhere, I am afraid that Queen Zhao will not let her go easily.
It's just that Sheng Ruhua, who has been unable to get pregnant, how did she get pregnant?
It's only been a month, how did the court judge of the imperial hospital see that Sheng Ruhua is now pregnant with the prince?
Isn't that too arbitrary?
And the imperial doctor who conditioned Sheng Ruhua's body before, how could he suddenly die of a violent illness?
These places are full of weirdness.
It's no wonder that some people think things are strange again.
Seeing that Sheng Mingyu didn't speak, Zhan Hongling knew that Sheng Mingyu already had his own opinion in his heart.
It seems that she also feels that this matter is strange everywhere.
"Hurry up, where are we going?"
Sheng Mingyu lifted the curtain and found that the carriage had left the city.
It doesn't look like she went to the Yizhuang outside the city that she told her when she went to the Sheng Mansion when she went to the Sheng Mansion, but somewhere else she should go.
The carriage was driving on the official road, could it be that Zhan Hongling wanted to take her to Zhuangzi on the outskirts of Beijing?
"I can't hide it, Miss Sheng, I really don't want to take you to Yizhuang outside the city, but to take you to Zhuangzi in the countryside. That was the Zhuangzi of the Imperial City Division who detained Yongding Hou Shizhang! Shi Zhang committed madness and ran away from Zhuangzi, who was guarding the Imperial City Division, and he didn't know where he went. ”
"For a few days in a row, the surrounding villages found that many people were bitten and bitten to death, and they looked at those corpses that were not quite right, not like they were bitten by wild beasts, but like people, and ordered them to be burned, and came to Kaifeng Mansion Yamen to report to us."
It's the plague!
Zhan Hongling is talking about the plague!
The plague from Jiangzhou and Liuzhou!
If you are bitten or killed by a plague patient, you will fall into madness, become a bloodthirsty beast, smell blood, and come to bite people.
Could it be that Shi Zhang has become a bloodthirsty monster now?
It's just that Shi Zhang became a bloodthirsty monster and was pregnant with Sheng Guifei, what happened?
What is the relationship between the two?
Sheng Mingyu guessed in his heart, and still asked Zhan Hongling.
"Zhan Hunt is fast, Yongding Hou Shizhang has become a bloodthirsty monster, and he is pregnant with Sheng Guifei in the palace, what is the relationship between the two?"
was asked by Sheng Mingyu like this, Zhan Hongling did not rush to reply to her.
If she had told Sheng Mingyu that three months ago, it was the Yongding Marquis Shizhang who secretly got Sheng Guifei's entrustment and took the four palace maids to Liuzhou, Jiangzhou, to purchase medicinal materials for Sheng Guifei, would Sheng Mingyu think that this matter was incredible?
Three months ago, Kaifeng Mansion received the will of Sheng Niangzi, who asked Yongding Hou Shizhang to take the four palace maids she was serving closely to Jiangzhou to purchase a medicinal material called Life and Death Grass.
This herb is said to be able to resurrect the dead and turn them into walking dead.
