Xiao Li's death was an accidental disaster for Xiao Zhuo, and the autopsy was done because someone mixed Gu worms containing puppet magic into the herbal "medicine" he healed.
The Gu worm entered his body through his wound, but after more than ten days of effort, it spread to the whole body, gnawing and devouring Xiao Li's flesh and blood, leaving only a pair of skin and bones.
So, the government arrested people and sent the imperial doctor who took care of Xiao Li's injuries into the prison, and coincidentally, the imperial doctor was the father of the child I saw in the Rui Wangfu that day.
According to my investigation, the imperial doctor should be treating his injuries, and Xiao Li got acquainted, and the banquet would appear in the Rui Wang's Mansion that day, I thought I could take this opportunity to tie up with the Rui King, but I didn't expect to fly to the disaster, implicated in Xiao Li's killing, since he was sent to the prison, although he was tortured, but he always refused to admit his guilt, and always insisted that someone took advantage of his inattention to mix those Gu worms into the herb "medicine", Xiao Li's death had nothing to do with him, but when asked about the details, he couldn't say who the person who might be under the Gu was.
In fact, those people in the court naturally knew that this matter had nothing to do with him, a small imperial doctor, without any strength background, the "sexual" life of the whole family was all pressed on Shengjing, knowing that he was Xiao Li's doctor, once Xiao Li had an accident, the first thing the court found was himself, why did he take the risk of assassinating the prince?
However, Sheng Liang's current situation is critical, in the court, Xiao Zhuo and the Rui King are on the same footing, Xiao Li's death is really implicated, if you don't give an explanation earlier, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not cause a military disaster, I didn't want to care about such a nossy matter, but thinking of the child I met that day, at the age of seven or eight years old, it is the time to stick to my parents, if there is a sudden change in the family, what accident happens to my father, and he is charged with murdering the emperor's heir, his life should be ruined.
Therefore, it was decided to exonerate the imperial doctor.
In the emperor's eldest grandson's mansion, I sat on the lower seat of Xiao Zhuo, and Lin Suwen sat next to me, because when Xiao Yu died, Lin Suwen and I were both on the spot, so Xiao Zhuo called us here today to ask about the situation at the time, Lin Suwen had a wooden face, and he looked like he was thousands of miles away, I really don't know how he complained to Xiao Zhuo when he came here before.
I reported the events of that day clearly, about what I had expected for a long time, but I was waiting to see the excitement, so I naturally concealed it, and Lin Suwen was surprised that he did not expose me.
"As a warlock, Wei Chen did not find out about the Gu of His Royal Highness the Prince of the World in advance, which is really dereliction of duty, and he also asked His Royal Highness the Emperor Eldest Sun to punish him."
I knelt up from my seat and pleaded guilty to Xiao Zhuo.
Xiao Zhuo looked at me for a moment and sighed: "What's the point of pursuing these now, Xiao Jiao's death, Uncle Huang will definitely not give up, let's think of some countermeasures in advance." ”
I glanced up at him, lowered it again, and continued to arch my hand: "Your Highness don't worry, this matter should be considered a good thing if you think about it carefully." ”
Xiao Zhuo sighed and asked rhetorically: "Gu Qing knows that the imperial uncle has a self-respecting army in the fiefdom, if he really wants to fight, with the current strength of the imperial court, this palace does not have much chance of winning." ”
I continued: "King Rui has self-respect in the fiefdom, this is a well-known thing in the Manchu Dynasty, but the reason why he has not moved until now is just a lack of a reason to rebel. ”
When Xiao Zhuo heard this, he said slowly: "You know that once Uncle Ruihuang grasps Xiao Li's death and blames the palace, if he leads his troops to besiege Shengjing under the banner of avenging Xiao Li's grievances, when the division becomes famous, everyone in the world will help him, how should the palace deal with it?" ”
I smiled: "Is that prince really killed by His Highness?" ”
"Of course not." Xiao Zhuo categorically denied it.
"Since it's not, why should Your Highness be in a hurry?"
Xiao Zhuo, like his senior brother, is well-known for his good temper, and in the eyes of the world, he is a typical gentle gentleman.
But I like to see his anxious appearance, so I patiently deal with him.
Sure enough, seeing me slowly going around in circles with him, Xiao Zhuo frowned and said, "That's what I said, but if I want to add to the crime, there is no excuse." ”
I held the jade flute, put it in the palm of my hand and knocked it, and said, "That's the truth, so what Your Highness has to do now is to block King Rui's words and make him have nothing to say." ”
Xiao Zhuo sighed, leaned forward, looking obviously interested, I paused, and continued: "King Rui's current bargaining chip is that he has a heavy army in his hand, and others are in the fiefdom, and he feels that His Highness can't do anything with him, but if he is really so fearless, why doesn't he dare to enter Beijing after receiving His Highness's edict?" It shows that he is still a little jealous of His Highness, and he will not take risks until the perfect time. ”
Xiao Zhuo nodded, and I said: "His Royal Highness has been ordered to return to Beijing to serve the doctor several times before, but King Rui has always pushed back, he is afraid that once he comes to Shengjing, he will be controlled by His Royal Highness, he will lose the opportunity, lose the initiative, this is his weakness, but also His Royal Highness's opportunity, about the death of the prince, His Royal Highness can summon King Rui, just say that for the sake of fairness, so that King Rui can rest assured, let him come to Shengjing to investigate the case together, first, the son of the world is the heir of King Rui, he met with accidents, King Rui as a father, it stands to reason that he should come here, second, Now that the son is gone, King Rui's previous argument that he asked him to perform filial piety on behalf of his father is useless, and the king is seriously ill. ”
"If King Rui agrees to come here, it will naturally be a good thing for His Highness, if he does not agree, he must give a statement, promising that regarding the killing of the prince, he has full confidence in His Highness's disposition, so that no matter what kind of response His Highness gives in the future, he can no longer regret accusing His Highness of injustice, and even more, slandering this is His Highness's doing."
I said, and said, "King Rui is extremely cautious, and Wei Chen thinks that of the two, he should be more inclined to the latter. ”
Xiao Zhuo snorted, and then raised his eyes to look at me: "Gu Qing knows Uncle Rui Wang very well. ”
My expression froze for a moment, and then explained: "Your Highness also knows that the relationship between Weichen and King Rui, three years ago, Qingzhou Assassin Shi intended to murder King Rui, or Weichen went to the rescue, and had contact with King Rui, so he is naturally clearer about his 'temperament'. ”
My master, Han Zheng, is a staff member under King Rui, Xiao Zhuo has long known this, and he doesn't seem to be very happy about this matter, and has always been suspicious of me and my senior brother.
Therefore, hearing this, he was a little uncomfortable, and said lukewarmly: "If your master knows that this plan was done by you, how does Gu Qing plan to deal with it?" ”
I smiled, and the jade flute was held in my hand to play: "What Wechen thinks is to solve problems for His Highness, as long as His Highness's concerns are relieved, as for how the master will deal with Wechen, this is Wechen's own business, and His Highness doesn't have to worry." ”
"Bengong just feels that Gu Qing, as a warlock, is too smart." Although he let me go last time, Xiao Zhuo is still more suspicious than trusting me now.
He asked again: "Gu Qing is Han Zheng's apprentice, but he turned his back on his master and Uncle Rui Wang and chose to help the palace, what is the purpose of your coming to Shengjing?" ”
Seeing him ask such a question, I smiled again: "Weichen's purpose, Lin Gongzi must have told His Highness a long time ago, why should His Highness ask again." ”
Xiao Zhuo looked at Lin Suwen, I was a little surprised by this, I thought that Lin Suwen was a follower, and he had already reported all my affairs to him.
I sighed, pretended to be gloomy and lost, and said, "Your Highness mentioned the matter of King Jing's Mansion to Weichen last time, and now in the world, how many people suspect that King Rui instructed Master to do it?" Everyone cherishes their wings, and the master has the grace to nurture and teach Wechen, and Wechen, as a disciple, has the responsibility to maintain the reputation of the master. ”
"Again." I paused: "King Rui, this person, ruthless, the last time Weichen saw him in Qingzhou, the nun who exposed the assassination conspiracy was also ordered to be killed by him, saying that it was to prevent disasters, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, so careless of human life, and it will not be a Ming Jun who benefits the world in the future, Weichen does not want the master to be mixed with him, this time to Shengjing, if you can find out that the matter of the year has nothing to do with him, and return the master's innocence, and let the master stay away from the Rui King, it is naturally a good thing." ”
"How do you determine that that incident has nothing to do with Han Zheng?"
Xiao Zhuo seemed to have always thought that it was my master who killed the people from King Jing's Mansion, so when he saw me mention the tragedy, his face sank, and his attitude became not very good.
I said: "Wechen heard that Princess Jing has a profound cultivation and is a rare warlock, many years ago, in the face of the siege of several predecessors of the Lin family, alone, fighting to the death, she was lucky to win a game, with her cultivation, Weichen's master is not an opponent at all, how can she kill all the people in Jingwangfu, including the Gu family?" ”
"It is now that the court magnates have those who support capable warlocks in the mansion, Uncle Jing Wang was supported by the Gu family back then, which made Uncle Rui Wang jealous, and secretly recruited warlocks, it is not impossible to deal with the Gu family, and your master has always been Uncle Rui's henchman, if Uncle Rui Wang really took action, it is impossible for him not to know."
"Knowing and doing are two different things."
I replied lightly: "In the past, the northern plague, Wei Chen and Master went to treat the local people, Master in order to save a child, did not hesitate to cut off one of his little fingers, would rather starve, but also to distribute dry food to those lonely old people to eat, although he obeyed the orders of King Rui, but will never do such a wrong thing as killing the old and weak "women" and children, His Royal Highness knows so much about the affairs of King Jing's Mansion back then, he should have heard a rumor, after that incident, Master and King Rui conflicted, and left King Rui's Mansion in a rage......"
I said, smiling helplessly: "If that incident was really done by King Rui, then Your Highness guess what happened between Master and King Rui back then?" ”
