Bai Xianyan said: "Maybe parents look at their children for the best." ”

"There are rumors that after the sacrifice to the sky, the emperor will announce the death of the prince and crown King Liang as the crown prince, is that so?"

Bai Xianyan was silent for a moment and said: "It may not be so easy, everyone's eyes are bright, and King Liang is not so suitable to be a prince." ”

Xie Yunshi: "By the way, why didn't you see King Liang's eldest son Jingyu today?" ”

Bai Xianyan said: "Princess Liang probably doesn't want other children to steal the limelight from Lord Gyeongbokg!" ”

Xie Yunshi: "The princess of the Northern Dynasty is just so open-minded. ”

……

Mrs. Shao Ji's residence was raided by the third aunt.

They found a small secret room, which contained a lot of medical books, tools for raising Gu, and a lot of gold and silver.

Lou Chuyan went in to see the secret room, and from the books she read, the notes she made, and the traces of Gu cultivation, she concluded that Mrs. Shao Ji was a witch doctor.

And it's a very skilled witch doctor.

There was a bamboo tube in the secret room, and there were several dead undead beetles in it.

Lou Chuyan stared at the beetle for a long time, and then stared at the black skeleton bone carving on the wall, and said, "She is probably a spy of the Northern Dynasty!" ”

Xiao Qing was surprised: "Why do you say that?" ”

Lou Chuyan said that Bai Xianyan was attacked by Tuoba Ronghua with an immortal beetle when she gave birth to a child: "Tuoba Ronghua is a spy of the Northern Dynasty, I am already strange, the immortal beetle only grows in the seedling field, where did she get it?" Now it's here. ”

Xiao Qing: "That doesn't necessarily mean that she is a spy of the Northern Dynasty, it is possible that she is just secretly buying and selling these poisonous insects?" ”

Lou Chuyan pointed to the black skeleton on the wall and said, "There is this, I know this thing, I am very impressed." ”

Xiao Qing was puzzled: "What is this?" ”

Lou Chuyan said: "My grandfather used to have a very capable subordinate, and every time I went to Miaojiang at that time, I could see him. He wore this black skull sculpture on his chest. I used to ask my grandfather why he always wore such horrible jewelry. My grandfather said it was something he had passed down from his family. His ancestor was the patriarch of a clan, but he was later annexed by the imperial court. ”

Xiao Qing: "Your grandfather? The patriarch of the Miao people? How did it go further? What does this have to do with the spies of the Northern Dynasties? ”

Lou Chuyan said: "Later, this person was beaten as a black witch and expelled from Miao Village because he used Gu magic to harm people and make money. The government sentenced his family to exile for 3,000 miles to the bitter cold land in the north. It is possible that he was bought by the Northern Dynasties and came back as a spy. ”

Xiao Qing understood: "That's ......"

Lou Chuyan looked at those insect corpses, and her heart palpitated: "Fortunately, it is difficult for the immortal beetle to survive without the special humid climate of the seedling area, otherwise she will use this harm again, and it will be impossible to prevent it." ”

Xiao Qing: "It's really hateful! ”

Lou Chuyan's voice was cold: "Take these to her and try them again, if you don't say it, you will be tortured to death!" ”

Xiao Qing nodded.

……

"So she recruited?" Bai Xianyan left from Liang Wang's Mansion and did not go back to the East Palace directly, but went to see his mother. Listen to them talk about this, asked.

Xiao Qing said: "She recruited it, saying that it was ...... Wu Mi. ”

Bai Xianyan frowned: "Wu Mi? Didn't my mother suspect that she was a spy of the Northern Dynasty? Why did you get involved with Wu Mi again? ”

Third aunt: "She said that she saved Wu Mi's life back then, and Wu Mi was very grateful to her." went back and forth, and she became Wu Mi's confidant. In order to win over and control Bai Cong, and in order to let him inquire about the secrets of the major families, Wu Mi asked her to marry Bai Cong as a concubine. ”

Bai Xianyan: "Have you confirmed with the second uncle?" ”

Xiao Qing: "Asked." He confessed. He said that Mrs. Shao Ji was given to him by Wu Mi, because he had been infatuated with Wu Mi for many years, so he loved the house and Wu, and he also respected Mrs. Shao Shao Ji. ”

Bai Xianyan: "What about the undead beetle?" ”

Xiao Qing: "She said that it was all instructed by Wu Mi. Wu Mi asked her to get a few undead beetles, at first she didn't know what to do, and then Wu Mi asked her to take one to Tuoba Ronghua. ”

Bai Xianyan: "What about the Gu King who was buried here with us before?" Does it have anything to do with her? ”

Xiao Qing said: "She said that Xu Xiangu is also Wu Mi's person. Wu Mi asked her to cooperate with Xu Xiangu and bury the Gu King in the garden of the main courtyard. ”

"Wu Mi again? If it was really her, there must be the emperor's involvement or even instruction behind it. Bai Xianyan said, "Such a despicable method, even his own grandson can be killed, it's really chilling!" I once fantasized that I could reconcile their father and son! ”

Lou Chuyan said: "What Shao Ji said may not be all true. There is a big suspicion in it. It was that poisoning incident, if it was Wu Mi's instructions, she would not have known that King Liang would come, and also instructed Xu Xiangu to poison! ”

Bai Xianyan: "Ah yes! I always felt that something was wrong. Maybe she is a spy of the Northern Dynasty, and these confessions are just to deepen the contradiction between us and the emperor. ”

Xiao Qing: "Then continue the trial!" ”

Bai Xianyan said: "Let's be careful, let's take a step and see one step at a time." ”

Lou Chuyan: "When is the emperor going to worship the sky?" ”

Bai Xianyan: "The day after tomorrow." ”

Lou Chuyan: "It is said that the prince will be replaced after the sacrifice to the sky, do you think it is very likely?" ”

Bai Xianyan smiled: "There is a queen mother!" ”

Lou Chuyan: "Is there a letter over there?" ”

Bai Xianyan nodded: "Everything is ready, and a coup d'état may occur at any time." ”

Lou Chuyan was in good spirits.

……

On the day when the emperor brought Huan Yi to reward the gods, the people suddenly had a saying: the world changed hands.

It is said that the emperor specially took out the golden string of Buddha beads that Huan Yi gave him when he celebrated his birthday and put it on.

The place they went to was the Purple Mountain, and there was a Linggu Temple on the mountain, and there were high monks in the temple who were good at divination and assertion.

After the sacrifice to the heavens that day, the emperor was interested, so he went to Linggu Temple to find the monks there for divination.

It is the luck of the Southern Dynasty.

After the high monk took possession, he refused to say the hexagram, but only told the emperor that it was a good fortune sign.

The emperor asked again and again, but the monk just didn't say anything.

Later, a seven or eight-year-old novice ran in, tilted his head to look at the hexagram, and said in a childish voice: "This hexagram is: The world has changed hands, Master, why don't you tell the donor?" ”

The ministers were too frightened to breathe.

The emperor was furious and asked if what the senior monk Xiao Shami said was true.

If the monk denies it, the little novice will die.

If the monk admits it, he dies by himself.

He confessed.

Fortunately, at this time, Mu Boqian, who followed him, opened his mouth and asked: "Master, I have been watching the sky these days and nights, and I have seen the displacement of the North Star, the East Palace of the North Star, the hexagram of the world changing hands, can it be related to the displacement of this star?" ”

The senior monk glanced at Mu Boqian and said, "Maybe." The East Palace is the prince, and the displacement of the East Palace is equivalent to the world changing hands. ”

When the emperor heard this, his face immediately improved: "So that's what it meant." ”

Mu Boqian said: "If this is not the meaning, how can it be a good fortune sign?" ”

The emperor nodded, glanced at Huan Yi, and said with a smile: "You monk, it's better for Mu Xiang and a scholar to be able to unsign." ”

Monk: "Ashamed! ”
