Chapter 90: Unraveling Gu
Early in the morning of the second day, Xia Roumeng came to the Qiankun Palace with Cang Wunian.
In the main hall, Luo Fan bowed to Xia Roumeng: "Poor Dao failed to arrest the thief who tried to murder His Majesty yesterday, and I hope that Her Royal Highness the princess will atone for his sins!"
Xia Roumeng waved her hand a little tiredly: "That's it, if it weren't for the Dao Chief's arrangement, I'm afraid that the imperial brother would have suffered an accident." I came here today to ask the Dao Chief if he was ready to understand the Gu Method. ”
Luo Fan arched his hand, and said: "The princess doesn't know, according to the observation of Poor Dao, the Gu in His Majesty is not a Heart-Destroying Gu, but a 'Heart-Destroying Gu' that is somewhat similar to the Heart-Destroying Gu but is more vicious. ”
As soon as these words came out, the faces of several people in the main hall changed slightly: Aunt Hui was stunned at first, and then cast a suspicious look at Luo Fan; Hua Chengcheng looked at Luo Fan with a puzzled expression; Cang Wunian frowned, as if he was thoughtful; Xia Roumeng was shocked.
Seeing that several people had different faces, Luo Fan said unhurriedly: "This Heart Devouring Gu has a characteristic, that is, the way it launches Gu is different from ordinary Gu. ”
"What's the difference?" Aunt Hui stared at Luo Fan curiously, as a healer, she was instinctively full of curiosity for all the unheard of incurable diseases in the world, and at this time she saw Luo Fan's demeanor did not seem to be nonsense, so that she had even forgotten that the purpose of her coming today was to leave.
Luo Fan's face froze slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "This Heart Devouring Gu needs to be coordinated with the person with the Mother Gu and the next Gu object, and this Gu can be planted." ”
Silent...... Deathly silence.
This is probably the sorrow of an emperor, and the person who is looking forward to taking his life is actually his own pillow person.
Cang Wunian subconsciously glanced at Xia Roumeng, only to see that Xia Roumeng's face was a little pale, and one of his hands unconsciously pulled his skirt tightly.
After a long time, Xia Roumeng asked lightly: "According to the meaning of the Taoist chief, every concubine in this harem is suspicious?"
The corners of Luo Fan's mouth raised a smile of unknown meaning: "Her Royal Highness the princess, not only the concubines in the palace, but all the women who have had a relationship with Your Majesty are suspicious. ”
The gloom in Xia Roumeng's eyes flashed, and then she said slowly: "In addition to the queen in Your Majesty's harem, there are also four ladies, thirteen beauties, twenty-seven wives, and thirty-eight royal wives, not including those who died accidentally, according to the meaning of the Taoist, how to check?"
Luo Fan smiled and waved his hand: "Don't be so troublesome. It is only necessary to find out the ladies who have served His Majesty in the past month. ”
"Why is that?" Xia Roumeng asked with an eyebrow raised.
"After the Heart Devouring Gu is in the middle and bottom, it must be urged within a month, otherwise the person with the Mother Gu will be counterattacked. Luo Fan replied.
When Xia Roumeng heard this, she pursed her lips noncommittally: "Yes, the Taoist knows a lot." Anyway, the palace ordered someone to summon the concubines who had slept with the imperial brother within a month. It's just that the top priority now is to remove the Gu poison in the body of the imperial brother, I don't know if the Luofan Dao Master is ready?"
Luo Fan hugged his fists respectfully: "The princess only needs to call people, and the poor road has her own way." ”
After a stick of incense, the concubines and concubines who had been recorded in the past month were all summoned to the Qiankun Palace.
"I said An Guo, Your Majesty has been sick these days, and you don't let me wait to come to visit, and now it's early in the morning, what kind of majesty are you playing?" A woman dressed in purple clothes couldn't help but sneer as soon as she entered the main hall.
This woman is the Qin beauty who has been favored recently.
Chu Yu's illness came very suddenly, and the concubines in the harem came to visit them one after another when they learned that Chu Yu was sick, for fear that they would not show enough sadness and worry, and they would be dissatisfied with them after Chu Yu recovered from his illness.
However, after Xia Roumeng listened to Cang Wunian's suggestion to recruit famous doctors from the market, she used His Majesty's need to recuperate as an excuse, and also made sense that the queen would not let these concubines come to visit again.
This Qin beauty was named a beauty after only half a year in the palace, and her mother's family background is illustrious, so she is naturally arrogant and arrogant on weekdays. Moreover, she also knew that Chu Yu and Xia Roumeng, the so-called cousin, were a little involved in cutting and untidy, and at this time, let her seize the opportunity, naturally she wanted to use her tongue well.
Xia Roumeng glanced at her lightly, then ignored her directly, and turned to Luo Fan: "Dao Chief, these four are the concubines who have served His Majesty in this month. ”
"An Guo, what do you mean by this?" Qin Meiren saw that Xia Rou Mengli ignored her, but was so respectful to a Taoist priest who looked sloppy and profligate, and her heart suddenly became angry.
"The queen drove to ......"
Before Xia Roumeng could speak again, there was a shout from outside the door to inform the arrival of the queen.
"Meet the queen!" The crowd in the main hall saluted a middle-aged woman wearing a phoenix crown and a golden dress who had already walked in from the door.
"It's all out of courtesy. The queen waved her hand lightly, and then said to Xia Roumeng: "An Guo, has Your Majesty's condition progressed?"
Xia Roumeng owed a debt to the queen, pointed at Luo Fan and the three of them and said to the queen: "Back to sister-in-law, these three people are the miracle doctors recruited from the market in the past two days. This Taoist Dao is a mortal, and today it is he who said that there is a way to cure the illness of the imperial brother. ”
The queen swept her gaze to Luo Fan, and a trace of doubt flashed in her eyes: "Oh, I think the Taoist chief must be a master outside the world, I don't know what good recipe the chief can cure Your Majesty?"
Luo Fan arched his hand at the queen: "After returning to the king, the princess asked the princess to invite a few ladies this morning, firstly, to find out the initiator of His Majesty's serious illness, and secondly, to heal His Majesty." ”
When the queen heard the words "the initiator", her eyes suddenly sharpened: "What does the Taoist mean is that Your Majesty is not suffering from any disease, but someone is trying to harm Your Majesty?"
"Exactly. Luo Fan said neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Okay!" the queen waved her robe, stepped up and sat on the seat in the hall, and said in a deep voice: "Then the palace wants to see today, who is so bold that he dares to kill the king! But if you have ill intentions, then don't blame the palace for correcting the Fa on the spot. ”
There was silence in the hall, the queen is the queen, although the age is getting older, it is inevitable that there is some decay and relaxation, but the aura of grace and power still shocks the people in the hall and does not care about gasping.
Luo Fan smiled and took out a small brocade box from his arms, and then he opened the brocade box, and a pill the size of a broad bean appeared in everyone's sight.
As soon as the brocade box was opened, a faint aroma of medicinal herbs permeated the entire main hall, and at the same time, everyone also saw the faint fluorescence emitted on the pill.
"This ...... What is this?" asked the queen sneeringly.
"This is a suspended animation pill, which will temporarily stop a person's breathing and heartbeat after taking it, and make people enter a state of suspended animation. Luo Fan explained.
Hearing this, the queen frowned and stared at Luo Fan, and said with some displeasure: "What does Dao Elder mean by this? Could it be that Dao Chang is planning to let His Majesty take this medicine?"
"Not bad. Luo Fan nodded very dryly, and seeing that everyone was casting puzzled glances at him, Luo Fan explained: "Your Majesty's Heart-devouring Gu is in your body, and the Gu poison is fierce, and it will eat away Your Majesty's heart in less than seven days." But this Gu poison has a characteristic, it only devours the heart with vitality. If His Majesty enters a state of suspended animation, this Heart Devouring Gu will no longer devour His Majesty's heart, on the contrary, if there is no living heart for the Heart Devouring Sub Gu to devour, the Sub Gu will be restless, causing the anger of the mother Gu in the Gu person's body, and the mother Gu will cause a backlash to the Gu Eater. ”
"You demon way! Is there a place in the palace where you can speak wild words? I see that you clearly want to harm Your Majesty, so you made up these witch gossip to confuse the public. Sister, you must not listen to this demonic word. As soon as Luo Fan's words fell, Qin Meiren pointed at Luo Fan's nose with an angry face and scolded.
The queen's face froze slightly, she raised her hand to signal Qin Meiren to be quiet, and then slowly stood up, looking directly at Luo Fan: "Daoist Luofan, do you know that this witch Gu is the most taboo in this palace? ”
Luo Fan smiled noncommittally, and a chill flashed in his eyes: Destroy his nine clans?
"What Poor Dao said is true, today is the third day of His Majesty's Gu poison attack, if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid it will ......" Luo Fan's tone was light, "I'm afraid" What must be clear in the queen's heart.
The queen's phoenix eyes narrowed, and after a long time, she said in a deep voice: "Okay, then the palace will believe you once, if Your Majesty has a good one, the palace will ask for you." ”
