Kou Shu sat quietly in front of the bronze mirror, looking at herself in the mirror, she was a little distracted. Glancing at the letter sent by Uncle Shi not far away, his brows frowned even more.

Hearing the scene depicted by the mandarin duck that day, Kou Shu thought of a kind of evil art in the Western Regions, which was called Gu Tong Gu, which was to sign a contract with the fetal spirit that had not yet formed and was not allowed to come to the world, and used his own essence and blood as qi, supplemented by physical feeding, and that ancient pain would help the owner to make his wishes come true. However, the fetal spirit is an evil spirit with improper mental skills, once the Gu Tong Gu has been practiced for a long time, it will hurt people's essence at least, and it will kill people at worst.

Because he couldn't make a decision, he told Sui Yuanzhou about it.

Sui Yuanzhou is out of the same door as himself, and he is well-informed, and he may be able to see some doorways.

Originally, he was only holding on to three points of hope, but he didn't expect Sui Yuanzhou's reply to assert that this was not Gu Tong Gu. It is a kind of evil art that is more evil and terrifying than the ancient Tong Gu, called the Heavenly Tong Gu. is also a baby spirit, Tiantong chooses a fetus that has a body but dies after being born, such a baby spirit has a strong resentment after being made into a spirit body, and can directly disturb people's divine consciousness, but in the same way, it has extremely high spiritual power requirements for the person who is controlled, and Xiao Concubine has to control that day Tong Gu through rune paper, which is the best proof.

I asked Lianyi to inquire about the news of the return, the emperor has been normal these days, and Kou Shu can't conclude whether Song Jinyan has found any abnormalities in Concubine Xiao.

Concubine Xiao is so favored now, it must have something to do with the Tiantong Gu she raised, if Song Jinyan really fell for the Gu, she would definitely be able to find out what clues.

After thinking about it, Kou Shu continued: "Concubine Xiao won't follow you, Mandarin Duck, you have recently asked people to pay more attention to the emperor, especially the people who are waiting in the imperial study, do more, if you find anything wrong, report it immediately." ”

In the imperial study, Song Jinyan was practicing calligraphy. The handwriting on the rice paper is strong through the back of the paper, flowing water, looking elegant and handsome, and the style is abnormal.

In the dark, a person knelt on the ground, and a low voice came: "Your Majesty, I found out, those people outside have all gathered under the queen's mother, a girl named Mandarin Duck." ”

Song Jinyan raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "I originally thought she was just an ornament, but I didn't expect that my queen also had her own ideas. As if remembering something, Song Jinyan changed the topic and asked, "By the way, is the queen still taking child avoidance medicine?" ”

Since the last time Song Jinyan accidentally found out that Kou Shu was taking child-avoiding medicine and was furious, this matter seemed to have been forgotten. Today was indeed suddenly mentioned by Song Jinyan.

The secret guard on the ground replied, "The queen mother has not taken that medicine anymore. ”

"Oh?" Song Jinyan's tone changed slightly: "Have you investigated this matter?" ”

The secret guard replied like a stream: "Back to the emperor, since the queen mother woke up, she only had to take a piece of medicine, which was prescribed by Imperial Doctor Hu in the palace to calm the mind and reassure the mind, and there was no child avoidance ingredient in the pharmacy, but for some reason, the medicine taken by the mother was there." ”

Listening to the meaning of the dark guard's words, he even asserted that the child avoidance medicine must have been ordered by the queen herself. Song Jinyan thought about it carefully, and Kou Shu didn't seem to have a reason to take this medicine.

Now Kou Shu's memory of himself is stuck three years ago, three years ago before he married, when Kou Yunwu's power was monstrous, and he responded to the call among the generals in the court, and he weighed the pros and cons before marrying Kou Shu But having said that, after that, he was also considered to have done his duty to Kou Shu. On the fifteenth day of the first month of each month, Song Jinyan stayed in Kou Shu's house for the night.

If it was three years ago, back when the two first met, Kou Shu really had no reason to take medicine. Thinking of this, Song Jinyan retreated from others and said a few words to Su Peiyuan.

On the other side, due to the hot weather, Kou Shu also lacked appetite, and barely had some dinner, when she heard Su Peiyuan's sharp and thin voice: "The emperor has arrived-"

With a creak, the door of Changle Palace was slowly opened, and Song Jinyan's voice came from behind Kou Shu's ears.

"I haven't seen the queen for a long time, I don't know what the queen has been busy with recently?"

Kou Shu put down the peach comb in her hand and smiled smartly: "See the emperor, the peach blossoms are blooming vigorously these days, and the concubines are planning to pick some peach blossoms and stuff some peach blossom soup to distribute to the sisters in the palace." ”

"Picking flower petals is time-consuming and laborious, did the palace maids in the queen's palace summon them? Does the queen want me to send you a few more maids? I looked at the people in Changle Palace, and felt that there were fewer people. Song Jinyan smiled slightly and looked at Kou Shu meaningfully.

Kou Shu's heart sank, Song Jinyan had something to say in his words, most of them were discovered by the people he sent out to monitor the emperor a few days ago, and his eyes turned and said: "Everyone in the palace has their own things and has their own uses. ”

"Oh? So what is the use of the people in the queen's palace? Song Jinyan raised his eyebrows, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

Kou Shu smiled: "Naturally, I am serving my master to keep this palace safe and secure." ”

Kou Shu's words have a deep meaning, the peace of the palace is led by the guards and forbidden troops, and the maids and eunuchs can not be said to be safe.

Song Jinyan seemed to understand, looked at Kou Shu suspiciously for a while, seemed to have made a decision, nodded and said, "In this way, I hope the queen can get her wish." He turned to speak: "The medicine prescribed by Imperial Doctor Hu, is the queen still drinking it?" ”

When Kou Shu heard this, her body tightened: "The medicine to nourish the body, the concubine naturally drinks it every day." ”

When Song Jinyan heard this, he stared at Kou Shu directly, as if he wanted to see something on her face. Kou Shu's face was calm, as if she didn't know anything: "That medicine, the queen mother really needs to drink it every day?" In my impression, the queen is also quite knowledgeable in medicine. ”

The medicine sent by Imperial Physician Hu is a medicine to nourish the body, replenish qi and nourish blood, but it only adds an extremely cold thing, making this medicine a bowl of avoidance soup. Kou Shu frowned, listening to Song Jinyan's meaning, it seemed that this decoction was not his hands and feet.

Kou Shu shook her head, and she still looked ignorant on her face: "The emperor gave medicine, and I didn't dare to disobey." ”

Hearing this, a hint of realization flashed in Song Jinyan's eyes. Today, several of his questions have been answered, and Song Jinyan immediately got up and said, "If the queen thinks that medicine is bitter, she won't drink it." As for the palace maids in the palace, the queen looked at the arbitrary scheduling. ”

"The concubine sends the emperor."

Song Jinyan nodded and walked straight out of Changle Palace. As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, Song Jinyan turned his head and said to the secret guard who had been hiding in the shadows: "Go and find out who ordered the child avoidance medicine." ”

The man nodded, "Yes—"

"In addition," Song Jinyan continued, "Those people outside the imperial study were arranged by Kou Shu, not for me, so don't worry about it for the time being. ”

The Dark Guard nodded, but did not speak.
