Chapter 34: Solving the Case
Everyone was frightened by Concubine Ning's words. These people have more or less crossed paths with the beautiful concubine Niangniang, thinking that Niangniang is peerless and has thousands of manners, but now she has become like this, and she can't help but feel a chill in her heart.
Luo Sinan's face changed. He pointed to the living "dry corpse" and said, "Niangniang, do you mean, is this the real concubine Niangniang?" ”
Concubine Ning said: "This kind of Gu technique is only available in forbidden books, and this palace has only seen written records, but I didn't expect that anyone would really dare to use it." This crystal coffin is actually a plant, called the solid cage. After planting the person with a face-changing Gu, he put it in a solid cage. In this way, the face of the caster will change into the appearance of the person in the cage. As for these carp......"
Everyone looked back at the big carp that had run aground in the mud after the pond had been drained. These carp are so tenacious that they twist their bodies and their tails beat against the mud at the bottom of the pond. But their eyes were cloudy and white, and they were lifeless, and they seemed to have been dead for a long time, and they couldn't sell overnight goods in front of the fish stalls. This may be what Concubine Ning said, "There are no living creatures in this pond".
"These carp are fed with other venomous Gu worms. In fact, they are just providing the solid cage with the nutrients it needs and Gu poison. The Gu release that Miss Xiao Ji saw that night may be the fake Cao Guifei feeding the nourishment of these solid cages. ”
Even Ji Jingyang and Jian Shaolin were also suppressed by this strange Gu technique, and they didn't say a word for a long time.
However, Luo Sinan came back to his senses first and asked Concubine Ning: "Niangniang, how can you be sure that this is the real body of Concubine Cao Gui?" ”
Concubine Ning said: "I'm just guessing. In the past few days, I have also heard some strange things about Jinyang Palace, you all said that the temperament of the concubine Niangniang has changed greatly since last year, as if she has changed as a person. This palace counts the days, and it seems to be worthy of ......"
Luo Sinan asked, "What's right?" ”
Concubine Ning sighed and said, "This reincarnation Gu and face change technique have been broken by this palace. The face of the person who came to listen to the rain pavilion would begin to change now. Let's go to the Listening Rain Pavilion to find out. ”
Ji Jingyang asked, "Concubine Ning, what should I do with this coffin?" How can the concubine inside be saved? ”
Concubine Ning hesitated. After she was silent for a long time, she shook her head slightly and said, "The Gu has been planted, so it can't be lifted." Mo said that the concubine Niangniang's body could not be recovered, if she was forcibly pulled out of the cage, her only supply would be cut off, and she might be gone immediately. ”
That's the most troublesome thing.
Although Cao Guifei's flesh is dry and her skin is dry, her five senses are there, she stretched out her hand like a withered branch, probed to Concubine Ning, babbling in her mouth, but she couldn't speak anymore, looking carefully, even the muscles of her tongue in her mouth have atrophied, like dead leaves.
Thinking that she had been tortured alive for half a year like this, Rao was Tianlongwei, who had been on the battlefield for a long time and had killed countless people, Ji Jingyang and Jian Shaolin, who had experienced strange cases and strange things, and were accustomed to seeing ghosts and ghosts, all had an indelible chill from the bottom of their hearts.
Although the sky was gradually brightening at this time, everyone still felt that the quagmire of the pond that had been drained of water was extremely dark, like a huge black hand, slamming everyone's hearts hard.
"Hey! What are you discussing below? Don't let me go down yet. Is it dangerous? Ji Cunyan called everyone on the shore and said, "Father-in-law Qi is here!" ”
Qi Yue stood beside Ji Cunyan with a smile and said to everyone: "It's so lively, I want to come to the palace search this time to make a big gain." ”
Everyone left the Gu array of the reincarnation Gu in the pond mud and went ashore one by one.
Qi Yue frowned and complained to Luo Sinan: "Lord Luo, Concubine Ning's golden branches and jade leaves, with a golden body, how can she set foot in such a filthy place?" Your Majesty will be to blame if he finds out. ”
Concubine Ning said: "Father-in-law Qi don't worry, the method in this pond can be solved by no one except the palace, and the palace can't go down." Wait for the palace to change clothes, and then go to face the saint with your father-in-law. ”
Ji Cunyan was very clever, and when he saw that Concubine Ning didn't bring a maid with her, he said, "Cunyan is waiting for the mother to change her clothes!" ”
After speaking, she helped Concubine Ning to the inner hall of Jinyang Palace.
Ji Cunyan said to Concubine Ning as he walked: "Niangniang, what is in the lake?" Why didn't everyone let me go down? ”
Concubine Ning sighed: "I won't let you go down, naturally it's for your good." After a while, you go with the palace to listen to the rain pavilion, and everything will be clear. ”
Luo Sinan looked at Concubine Ning and Ji Cunyan walking away, and then said to Qi Yue: "Father-in-law Qi, where is Your Majesty?" ”
Qi Yue said: "Your Majesty is going to the morning court at this time, and this matter cannot be delayed." He was concerned about this, so he sent me to watch it. ”
When the group came to the Listening Rain Pavilion, it was already dawn.
Before entering the palace wall, he heard a woman's sharp voice in the Listening Rain Pavilion breaking through the silence of the early morning.
Luo Sinan glanced at Ji Jingyang, then bowed to Concubine Ning, and protected these people behind him. Jian Shaolin also vigilantly protected Concubine Ning in front of Ji Cunyan.
When the two of them pushed open the door, they saw that "Cao Guifei" was scattered and was sprinkling. She slammed everything she could reach on the ground, screaming and crying as she smashed.
When she saw someone coming in, she was stunned at first, and then immediately covered her face with her sleeve. When she saw the comer, her eyes were full of murder, and she screamed and rushed towards Concubine Ning.
Ji Jingyang and Luo Sinan immediately stopped it, opened it and pushed it to the ground.
Concubine Ning raised her hand, and the Gu King on the ring in her hand flew up and flew towards "Cao Guifei". It hovered over "Cao Guifei" for a while before landing on her shoulder.
Concubine Ning said: "Your Gu technique has been suppressed by the Gu King, and you can no longer use Gu to harm people." A-Yao. Why are you suffering? ”
The woman who was called "Ah Yao" raised her head and looked at Concubine Ning resentfully.
This woman is still wearing Cao Guifei's clothes, with a hairpin on her head and a ring on her body, which are indeed all things worn by Cao Guifei. But looking at her eyebrows, eyes and facial features, there is no resemblance to Cao Guifei.
She is the woman who used the Gu of Reincarnation to snatch Cao Guifei's face.
Luo Sinan said to Concubine Ning: "Niangniang knows this woman? ”
Concubine Ning sighed, but didn't speak for a long time.
Ah Yao sneered and said, "She knows me, of course she knows me!" I am the saint of the Dian Kingdom! I am the current Concubine Ning! And this woman, just with a beautiful face, took everything from me! Dian Gu King? Hahaha...... Father even gave you the Gu King? I'm not reconciled! I won't be reconciled! Everything you have now belonged to me! If there were no Gu King, even you would have lost my hand!! ”
Ji Jingyang and Qi Yue looked at Concubine Ning together.
Luo Sinan sighed and said, "The Dian Kingdom sent the holy woman to our court to ask for peace, and a total of three portraits were sent. One is the daughter of the King of Dian, Princess Qingyao of the Dian Kingdom. One is the daughter of the national teacher, the saint of the Dian Kingdom, Qiuning. There is also a dance shadow of the first beauty in the Dian Kingdom. ”
Ji Cunyan asked, "Niangniang, are you the daughter of a national teacher?" ”
Concubine Ning nodded.
"And this one is...... Is Qing Yao, the princess of the Dian Kingdom? Ji Cunyan looked at this woman pretending to be Cao Guifei in disbelief.
At this moment, the Gu of Reincarnation has been broken. Qing Yao naturally regained her previous appearance. This face can't be considered ugly, but it's not outstanding either. At this time, her face was full of vicious anger, and her hair was scattered, let alone good-looking.
Qing Yao said: "That's right. Since ancient times, he has been a princess, why can't I sit on this concubine just because I'm not better looking than Qiu Ning?! ”
Qi Yue sighed: "Our family remembers this. His Majesty did indeed fall in love with Concubine Ning at a glance after looking at the portrait. ”
Concubine Ning stepped forward, frowned and asked her, "Do you want to be a concubine like that?" You are already a princess who is loved by thousands of people. The whole country, no one is respectful and respectful to you, why do you want to be a concubine in another country? ”
Qing Yao raised her head and glared at Concubine Ning, and said, "Collect thousands of favors? Although I am a princess, I have fallen behind you everywhere because I am not as beautiful as you since I was a child. Even my own biological father gave his most precious Gu King to you for self-defense, what about me? It's just the name of a princess. Marrying away from another country is the only chance I can get rid of you, but you have ruthlessly taken away it. Do you know how much I hated when I learned that you were the chosen one? What's better about you than me? Isn't that your face?! ”
Concubine Ning said: "So, are you going to use the forbidden technique to steal other people's faces?" ”
Qing Yao said: "That's right! Since you want to be friendly, I will blend in with the team of relatives and follow you secretly. I found the right time, selected the most beautiful and prominent Cao family in the palace, first captured a little palace maid in Jinyang Palace, used the art of reincarnation to make her stay in the palace, and secretly learned Cao's words and deeds. When the time is ripe, I will replace the little palace maid hidden in the solid cage with the Cao family who has cast a spell. Then, I spread rumors in the backyard pond and pretended to be a ghost so that no one else would be able to approach me. Let my Gu array be seamless. Now I am the niece of the Queen Mother, the favorite concubine of His Majesty, I am the noble concubine, you are just a kind concubine, I will always press you! ”
Concubine Ning frowned and said, "A-Yao." The Gu of Reincarnation is a forbidden technique, and it is evil and vicious. The person who casts the Gu will be cursed and suffer a thousand times more pain than the Gu person in the cage. You're just trying to beat me, is it worth it? ”
Qing Yao laughed, laughing arrogantly and sadly, she looked up to the sky and laughed for a long time before she lowered her head, stared at Concubine Ning and said, "It's worth it." You won't understand, you won't understand how worth it. ”
"It's a pity, it's a pity Qi Yue shook his head and said.
"Pity? Yes, alas. It's a pity that I was too hasty to kill that little named Cui'er! Qing Yao said hatefully: "This little is too bold, she dares to follow me to the backyard to release Gu, spy on my secrets, and use this as a threat to ask me for money, and ask me to let her out of the palace." This, I must kill my mouth. It's a pity that the plate of begonia osmanthus cake I rewarded her didn't do the right amount. Otherwise, if she burns it in your Jixian Palace, I will use this as a reason to search your palace and ask the Queen Mother for a copy of you, saying that you can use witchcraft and stay by Your Majesty's side, which is a big hidden danger. After doing this, Qiu Ning, you can only live in the cold palace for the rest of your life. ”
When Concubine Ning heard this, she said angrily: "You framed me for your own personal grudges, and you didn't even care about the safety of your homeland and the lives of your clansmen?" ”
Qing Yao sneered; "My father likes you more than me, such partiality harms me for the rest of my life, why should I care about his people?"
Qi Yue said: "It's a pity that you have exhausted all your organs, but you can't penetrate Your Majesty's heart." His Majesty favors Concubine Cao, not just because of her beauty, but because of her gentle, virtuous, generous and kind nature. You have this skin, but you don't change your evil nature, how can Your Majesty pamper you again? ”
Qing Yao said: "Man? Aren't men all as long as women have good faces? Otherwise, my Gu art is better than Qiu Ning, and my background is even more noble, why has no one ever liked me? ”
Ji Cunyan said: "Why don't you think about it, people don't like you, because you are a bad person in your bones?" Who likes bad guys? ”
She said this simply, but the word "bad guy" made Qingyao even more unacceptable. Qing Yao was annoyed and angry, pointed at Ji Cun and said, "Cheap girl! It's all your bad and my good deeds! I should have killed you on the day you entered the palace, so that I wouldn't be defeated today. ”
"Ah Yao, you're really stunned. You are in such a situation today because of your own bad mind and no one else. Are you still unrepentant? ”
"I'm not wrong! It is because of you that I have fallen into such a field today! If it weren't for you, I would still be the princess of the Dian Kingdom, married far away and loved by His Majesty. ”
Concubine Ning could only sigh helplessly. No more arguing with Qing Yao.
