Chapter 12: The Devil

Xie Jing is back.

The first thing he did when he returned to Beijing was to report to the emperor. For the Gu worms of Yunyang Mountain, he had some new discoveries.

Wei Wei asked Xiao Yuanzi to take Xie Jing to Shaowu Palace, she had something to discuss with Xie Jing.

"I've seen my mother!" Xie Jing was covered in dust, and he went straight to the palace before he had time to go home to change his clothes, followed by a scholar, with a square scarf in Tsing Yi, bright eyes and bright teeth, delicate and beautiful, and clearly a woman.

"The folk girl Hua Xiaoyu has seen Niangniang!" As she spoke, the woman presented a scroll in both hands.

"Niangniang, this is Weichen Neizi, the "Yunyang River Hidden Map" has been prepared, please put it away." Xie Jing said.

"Oh? There's Lord and Mrs. Raussie. Wei Wei smiled, "You've worked hard all the way, please sit down, I have something to ask Master Xie." ”

"Don't dare."

The maid served the tea and put the painting away.

"What's the catch?" Vivi asked.

Xie Jing knew that Wei Wei was asking about Gu worms, looked at Hua Xiaoyu, and motioned for her to reply to Niangniang.

"Hui Niangniang, the folk girl is also the first time to see this Gu worm, it is not common among the people, we usually use snakes, insects, centipedes and the like to make Gu, mainly used to manipulate or poison others, but this Gu is obviously not," Hua Xiaoyu muttered, "This Gu is not a worm ······"

"It's not a worm, what kind of refining is it?" Vivich said.

"This Gu is not any kind of reptile we usually use, it is not a living thing, but an undead spirit." Hua whispered answers.

"Undead?" Wei Wei was surprised, "But at that time, I obviously saw that long worm-like thing." ”

"That's right, that's the form of the consciousness of the undead, and then I opened several corpses, and the Gu inside showed different forms, not the same."

"To put it bluntly, is it the souls of the dead who have fallen into the bodies of these guards?"

"That's pretty much it, but these guards are the undead Gu that were planted by people after they died."

"What's the point of a Gu that is only laid after you die?"

"The folk girl thinks that someone may be doing some experiment, planting Gu to revive the soul and bring the dead back to life!"

"It's clear that these guards are test subjects for failed experiments." "I don't know if it's successful. ”

"This kind of Gu person is definitely a unique master, if there is a successful survivor, it is not surprising, the folk girl once saw in the "Xiang Gu Codex" that someone can raise ghosts to make Gu worms to attack the enemy."

Wei Wei remembered that the "Soul Rejuvenation Pill" given to her by Xie Jing five hundred years later seemed to be written by the same person.

"Master Xie, can Master Zhu be found that day?"

"Just as I was about to give you this matter, our people have already brought him back from the South China Sea, and he should be in the Imperial City soon."

"Okay, there's another matter at the moment, I want to hear Lord Xie's opinion." Vivi said formally.

Wei Wei told Xie Jing the information she had collected during this time about Prince Su and Empress Liu, as well as the capture of Liu Yingming, and wanted to hear what Xie Jing had to say.

"I want to put this Liu Yingming in the palace," Wei Wei said, "In his previous life, he sat on the throne for the emperor, and this time I want him to block disasters for the emperor." It's two clear, isn't it? ”

"Niangniang has asked the emperor what he means, in case someone catches the handle and bites back, it will not end well." Xie Jing was worried.

"That's why I asked Master Xie to help come up with ideas, how to make it more appropriate."

"Niangniang, since this matter is related to the emperor's safety, the people's daughter feels that she should show the emperor, and only with the cooperation of the emperor himself can she act." Hua Xiaoyu, who was sitting on the side, interjected and came in, presumably Xie Jing had told her in advance about her crossing, Wei Wei believed that Xie Jing and his person was also her person.

"Niangniang, are you worried that the emperor won't believe your words?" Xie Jing asked.

"Not only that, I'm also afraid that the emperor will not be able to accept it if he knows about his previous life, and I am worried that he will suffer because of this."

"Niangniang is wrong, the emperor is not a weak person, it is precisely because of the emperor's efforts that you will be allowed to come back here, isn't it? Weichen believes that all these emperors have made proper arrangements in his previous life. ”

"Okay, then as soon as possible, I'm afraid that there will be a move from Prince Su's side."

The three of them discussed, Wei Wei immediately took Xie Jing and the two out of the palace together, and the carriage drove to Zhuangzi in the suburbs.

Liu Yingming has been locked up for two days, and at this moment, she has washed all her lead, dressed in plain clothes, and is still sitting there drinking tea unhurriedly when she sees Weiwei and the three of them coming.

Xie Jing saw that Liu Yingming's figure and appearance, and he really looked like the emperor when he raised his hands and feet, and couldn't help but sigh, "There are two people who are so similar!" ”

"Did you get me here?"

"Isn't Boss Liu worried about himself at all?" Vivich said.

"Liu Moujie is a pariah, and he has no enmity with anyone on weekdays, and I came here, in addition to not letting me go out, I am treated very generously with food and clothing here, I think it should not be for money, and it will not be a certain little lady who is so bold because she admires me, and there is only one thing to think of······"

"What's the matter?" Vivi asked.

"Just because I look like a man." Liu Ying chirped.

"Oh?"

"The Son of Heaven today."

"Did Liu Qing tell you?"

"Not only Liu Qing, but also Empress Liu." Liu Yingming replied.

"What did Empress Liu tell you?"

"When she saw me, she just said, 'It's like a person', and then told Liu Qing not to leave Jingshi." Liu Yingming stood up and faced the three of them, neither humble nor arrogant, "So who are you?" ”

"I'm Guo Guifei, and I want Boss Liu to do something for me." Vivi said bluntly.

Liu Yingming saluted, "I have seen Guo Guifei, Liu will do his best." ”

"Very good, you follow me into the palace and do one thing."

"What?"

"Acting, dress up as the emperor today." Wei Wei saw that Liu Yingming's face was uncertain after hearing this, and immediately added, "Don't worry, I ask you to help save the emperor, someone wants to assassinate the emperor, you will be the emperor's doppelganger, we will act in the dark to find out who is behind the scenes, after the matter is completed, Boss Liu, you will be a great hero." ”

Liu Yingming was relieved after hearing this, "Liu is willing to be the emperor's substitute ghost." ”

Wei Wei hurriedly said, "Don't worry, we will have someone to protect you." "I thought, the original intention was to make you a cannon fodder, so don't be so straightforward. It made Weiwei feel a little embarrassed, everyone is equal in front of this human life, if I don't look for you, Queen Liu will find you a bad thing.

"Boss Liu, there is one more thing for you to cooperate with before entering the palace." On the way to come just now, the three of them discussed in the carriage to prevent this Liu Yingming from being difficult to control after entering the palace, Hua Xiaoyu proposed to give him a Gu, so that things would not get out of control.

Hua Xiaoyu took out a gooseneck porcelain bottle from the Xiu pouch she was carrying, and poured out a black pill in the palm of her hand, "Boss Liu, please take this pill!" ”

Liu Yingming knew that she was now a fish on the knife board, so she had to let someone slaughter her, and she didn't ask what kind of medicine it was, she swallowed it directly.

"This pill is a scorpion Gu, after the matter is completed, I will solve the Gu for Boss Liu, if you change anything halfway, this Gu worm will eat the host's internal organs until the whole body is eaten empty."

"Hahaha--" Liu Yingming suddenly laughed wildly, and everyone was stunned.

"It doesn't matter if you die, there is no difference between life and death in Liu, it's not that I'm afraid of death when I go with you, but everything is already decided. I also have a condition. ”

"Boss Liu, please speak." Vivi replied.

"No matter what the final outcome of your matter is, no matter whether I live or die, you will definitely send me back to the Donglin Liu family, so that my father can accept me, an unfilial son, and recognize me as a son."

"This matter is simple, let the emperor make a holy decree then, how dare your father disobey the decree." Wei Wei thought to herself that this willow warbler was looking at the scenery outside, and there was also unknown pain in her heart.

"Okay, that's it."

Liu Yingming happily came to the palace with the three of them to meet the emperor.

must not let people discover Liu Yingming's appearance, Wei Wei asked him to change into the eunuch palace clothes, and pasted his face with grass and wood ashes, so he dared to get out of the carriage and entered the Shaowu Palace directly.

Yuegui actually saw Liu Yingming, but at that time, she was kicked out by Liu Qing and didn't see Boss Liu's appearance after removing her face, but it is estimated that it is difficult to say whether she can see something later, so she still told her not to talk nonsense and show her feet as soon as possible.

Xie Jing personally went to the palace to see the emperor, and prepared to take the emperor directly to Shaowu Palace.

Wei Wei looked a little nervous, she thought about how to tell her brother Jing later, she was different, she was not exactly his Cai Wei anymore.

After a cup of tea, Gonggong Li's announcement came from outside the door, "The emperor has arrived!" ”
