Chapter 47: Soul Control
Empress Wenlan used the secret technique of soul dementorship to preserve her soul, just to see Chu Juechen after adulthood. In the dream, Chu Jiechen seemed to have spied a trace of the secret about the cause of his biological mother's death, so he broke into the Qin Mansion and asked if there was some contradiction between Qin Zhengyang's mother and Chu Qigong.
Qin Zhengyang said the contradiction between the views of Chu Qigong and Empress Wenlan: it turned out that Chu Qigong was originally weak, and only with the national strength of Chen Guo could it unify Great Qi and dominate the Central Plains. And there are people in Chu Qi Palace who have something to save face, when he sees Empress Wenlan, he will think of his humble side again and again, and he will gradually snub Empress Wenlan day by day.
Just as Qin Zhengyang was talking to Chu Juechen, he saw Qin Liumo, who was full of scars, breaking in with half a piece of paper in his hand.
"Oh, young master, what's wrong with you? Who can rob you like this? Qin An asked Qin Liumo anxiously.
Qin Liumo sat on the ground and rested for a while, stretched out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said, "It's not in the way, it's just a skin injury." None of them were much better. ”
Qin Liumo stretched out his hand and handed half of the paper in his hand to Qin Zhengyang and Chu Juechen: "Daddy, what is this?" ”
Qin Zhengyang and Chu Jiechen took the paper, looked at the dense small characters in the paper, and didn't know what it was.
"Mo'er, where did you come from?" Qin Zhengyang asked.
"Juechen felt that there must be something strange about Empress Wenlan's death, so he asked me to investigate secretly." Qin Liusu's physical strength recovered somewhat, and he spoke much louder, "I investigated a palace maid who was originally next to Empress Wenlan, but she was killed mysteriously, and the government also closed the case hastily. I don't think it's that simple. So in the middle of the night, I went to the place where the maid lived. ”
"I found some men in black looking for something, so I hid myself. After a while, they found a piece of paper in the crack of the wall, and I was very pleased, and I thought it must be useful, so I fought with them. ”
"If it were ordinary people, where would the four of them be our opponents, but their martial arts are not good, and I didn't have the upper hand, but I killed one person and seriously injured three people. In the end, only this half of the paper was grabbed. Qin Liumo continued.
"It's just...... It's just ......," Qin Liumo said with some slurring.
"What do you have to say? Why do you do such a mother-in-law? Qin Zhengyang reprimanded.
"It's just that the man in black acts very similar to the pro-army." Qin Liusu lowered his voice, "Hiding bone meal in the mouth, this is one of the main characteristics of pro-army spies!" ”
"Pro-army? Bone meal? Qin Zhengyang asked with some puzzlement.
"The teacher is more than that, this pro-army is the most secret assassination guard department around the emperor, and it is all composed of top masters who can fight one to ten. Among the missions carried out by the pro-forces are extremely secret and dangerous. Therefore, they hide bone meal in their mouths and use it to destroy their bodies after they are seriously injured or killed, so that their identities will not be revealed. ”
"What does Mo'er mean that this matter has something to do with the emperor?" Qin Zhengyang also asked in a low voice. After all, up and down the Qin Mansion, all kinds of spies are everywhere, and if you accidentally say the wrong thing, you will be killed.
"I don't dare to say this kind of nonsense, but when the palace maid was killed, when I checked the scene, I felt that it was done by the people around the emperor, and the method was familiar and did not leave any traces."
Chu Jiechen listened beside him and didn't say a word, but in his heart he seemed to have filtered out the ins and outs of this matter - the emperor must have something to do with this matter.
In the Waiter Division, Qin Liusu has completely understood the entire Waiter Division, and has completely mastered all the work of the Waiter Division, and the female officials around him have always praised Qin Liusu for his intelligence.
"How long have you been in the palace?" Qin Liusu asked the female officer.
"Qi Yu Niangniang, the slave maid has been in the palace for more than 20 years." The female officer said respectfully.
"Then do you know Qing Ming, the maid in my palace?" Qin Liusu continued to ask.
"The slave maid and Qing Ming entered the palace together, which can be regarded as some intersection."
"Then has she ever served Empress Wenlan?"
"The slave maid has never heard that she has served Queen Wenlan, and the mother asks what is the matter with this?" The female officer hesitated for a moment and replied.
"Oh, it's okay, I'm just asking." Qin Liumo immediately prevaricated.
It turned out that this tea was indeed conveying some message to me. Qin Liusu thought in his heart.
In the queen's bedroom, a man in black covered in scars knelt in front of the bed.
"The minion is incompetent, only grabbing half a prescription." The man in black lowered his head and did not dare to speak more.
"Let's bring it in!" The queen in the green gauze tent on the bed said with some displeasure.
Taking the half of the prescription presented by the man in black, the queen read it carefully, and then her face was happy. It was exactly the half of the prescription she wanted.
The queen suppressed the snickering joy in her heart and said calmly: "What kind of person is he, Qin Liumo, it is not easy for you to snatch half a prescription from him. ”
"Come on, give a big return pill, a hundred taels of gold." The queen said to the palace maid beside her.
For these people who are pro-army, they are all top masters, and they can earn a hundred taels of gold casually in the rivers and lakes. However, this great pill can enhance cultivation, and the skill of people who are destined can be increased several times, which can be met but not sought. What a precious reward.
The man in black was overjoyed: "Thank you to the queen, the villain will step back first." ”
In the evening, Qin Liumo received the snow falcon released by Qin Liusu from the palace, and there was a note on the paws of the snow falcon, which read: Tonight in Dongzhao Palace, there is something important to discuss.
At the same time, Chu Juechen, who was in the Dongzhao Palace, also received the same message.
At night, Qin Liusu called Qing Ming to accompany her to walk outside the palace, and Qing Ming readily agreed, but the thrush had to follow.
"Niangniang used to take me out, why didn't she take me today?" Thrush said with some displeasure.
Qin Liusu didn't know how to answer her, but he really couldn't take her this time.
"Thrush is going to prepare pastries for Niangniang tomorrow, and we people have just served Niangniang's taste, so we still need you to get up early tomorrow to prepare!" Qing Ming, who was on the side, explained to Qin Liusu.
Qin Liusu thought to himself, this person is not simple.
The thrush had no choice but to give up.
Chaoyang Palace is located in the remote place of the harem, surrounded by quiet and uninhabited, and the trees are vigorous.
Qin Liusu and Qing Ming walked to the depths of this grove, Qin Liusu was about to start knocking Qing Ming unconscious and taking it to Dongzhao Palace, only to see Qing Ming say softly: "Niang Niang wants to take me to see the Third Highness, why bother so much!" ”
"What are you talking about? I just want to get out of the woods. Qin Liusu didn't know whether this person was friend or foe, so he said tentatively.
"I don't think I'm a procrastinator. The slave maid is also straight to the point. Qing Ming didn't pretend to be pretentious and said, "I was sent by Chen Guojun!" ”
What the? Chen Guoguojun? Isn't Empress Wenlan from Chen Guoren? Don't......
Inside the Tosho Palace. Chu Jiechen and Qin Liumo carefully observed Qing Ming, only to see that Qing Ming's eyes exuded light blue, and the bridge of his nose was high, which did have some characteristics of Chen Guoren.
"Slave Qingming, I have seen the Third Highness, General Qin." Qing Ming said straight to the point.
"Twenty years ago, when the queen married into the Qi Kingdom, the prince of Chen State was afraid that Princess Wenlan would have three strengths and two weaknesses in the Qi Kingdom, so he sent slaves and maids to sneak into the palace of the Qi Kingdom."
The corners of Qin Liumo's mouth smiled with some disdain: "Why do we believe you?" ”
"The queen used a small phalanx as a carrier to preserve her soul in it, just so that she could see the adult appearance of the Third Highness." Qing Ming didn't have an expression on his face, but that trace of sadness was still captured by Chu Juechen.
"How did you know the time?" Chu Juechen asked.
"Because this dementorship is what I used on Princess Wenlan!" Qingming said.
"What? The soul technique you used on your mother? What's going on here? Chu Jiechen asked anxiously.
"Your Royal Highness doesn't need to be in a hurry, and listen to the slave and maid slowly." Qingming said.
It turned out that more than 20 years ago, Chen Wenhao, the then prince of Chen Guo, only had a younger sister, Princess Wenlan, and he loved her very much. At that time, Chu Qigong proposed to Chen Guo, and Chen Wenhao felt that Chu Qigong must have a purpose, so he sent Qingming to secretly come to the harem of Qi with Princess Wenlan.
At that time, Chu Qigong was so humble, and he always had a heart disease in front of Chen Guojun in a low voice, that is, he was so humble back then, and he couldn't raise his head in front of Princess Wenlan to ask Chen Guo to send troops. Chu Qigong also relied on the national strength of Chen State to dominate the Central Plains, but it came from his heart.
After knowing that Bai Yalian entered the palace, under Bai Yalian's bewitchment, Chu Jiechen instructed Bai Yalian to poison Princess Wenlan.
When Princess Wenlan knew that she was dying, she asked Qing Ming to use this soul dementorship to seal her soul in the little finger bone and bury it in the ground, just to be able to see Chu Juechen as an adult.
Then, Qing Ming also said that he reported to Chen Wenhao at this time, but it was Chen Guo who was crumbling, and Chen Wenhao had no intention of dealing with this time. He ordered Qingming to continue to lurk in the harem, waiting for the opportunity to avenge the queen.
"Smack!" A crisp sound was heard in the silent hall. That was the sound that Chu Jiechen made when he crushed the teacup with his hand: "It turns out that my mother was really framed to death by others." ”
"What happened to the palace maid who was killed?" Qin Liumo asked.
"The palace maid was originally the palace maid who entered the palace with Princess Wenlan, and Bai Yalian bought and poisoned Princess Wenlan." Qing Ming explained.
"How can you keep her and not kill her after the queen's methods of doing things are done?" Qin Liumo continued to ask.
"Most of the territory of the Chen Kingdom is deep mountains and old forests, and all kinds of strange races are everywhere, so they are rich in secret arts. Empress Wenlan has a deep study of various secret arts. He also compiled a book on the prescriptions and methods of use of various secret techniques. After the queen was killed, she took the book. Qingming explained, "But why the queen didn't kill her, the slave maid didn't know, but the slave maid saw that Bai Yalian might be for a secret technique in that book." ”
"Mystic?" Qin Liumo was thoughtful, could it be......
"Let's see what it is?" As he spoke, Qin Liusu took out the paper he had desperately snatched.
Qingming took the half of the paper and looked at it, and her face gradually changed slightly: "This ...... Is this a prescription for soul control? ”
"Soul control? What is this? The three of them were amazed, but they knew that the danger must be great.
