The imperial doctors were busy, surrounding the emperor's dragon bed, some pressing acupoints, some administering needles, and some prescribing medicine.

King Rui stood aside and watched, very irritable.

No wonder over the years he has entrusted him with all the big and small things for the first round of rulings! No wonder he did not appoint an empress and no heirs! No wonder he even transferred all the charms to him! No wonder he blocked the promulgation of the Empress Dowager's will! It turned out that he was already making all preparations for the succession to the throne.

Xiao Jingzi approached him, held a purple gold box in both hands, and whispered: "The Empress Dowager's decree has been burned by the emperor." This is the emperor's holy decree, he said, after his death, please ask His Royal Highness King Rui to inherit the throne with this edict of succession. ”

Ruiwang didn't take it.

Xiao Jingzi's eyes flashed, but he still forced the box into his hand: "Your Highness's mood, Xiao Jingzi understands, but I understand the emperor's hard work! ”

After speaking, he arched his hand and walked quickly to the emperor's side to serve.

Ye Zhi took his younger brothers and sisters back to the small courtyard. It seems that because of Bai Yuelan's casually nonsense glazed tiles, everyone may have to live for a while.

Liu Hua expressed great joy at the fact that he had to stay. After all, he hasn't found anyone yet. However, Bai Yuelan persuaded and said: "Young Master Liu, now that the Queen Mother has just passed away, the emperor is also ill, and the palace is under martial law, so it is indeed not suitable to move around." Let's stay and keep an eye on it. ”

"Your Majesty, is he sick?" asked Liu Hua, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

"Yes. Maybe my mother passed away and I was grieving too much. Bai Yuelan didn't want to talk about the emperor's assassination and poisoning, so as to save this Liu Gongzi from gloating.

However, Liu Hua couldn't help but laugh happily: "The wicked have their own harvest! Even if the emperor does a lot of evil, there will be retribution!"

Qu Linghan, who had just arrived here, looked at Ye Zhi, and Ye Zhi glanced at him.

After Liu Hua left, Qu Linghan asked, "Did Liu Gongzi find his wife? He was so hostile to the emperor, could it be that the emperor had harmed his mother?"

"What kind of lady? Engaged but unmarried, not a husband and wife. Bai Yuelan pouted and said, "The emperor didn't harm his fiancée." Those stories are all formed by adding oil and vinegar, and in reality, this is not the case at all. ”

"What the hell is going on?" Qu Linghan was originally very sympathetic to Liu Hua, but when Bai Yuelan said it, she knew that something was wrong.

Ye Zhi smiled and told Sun Dong about the situation.

"That's the case!" Qu Linghan was stunned when he heard the huge gap between the facts and the script.

Bai Yuelan believed in Liu Hua the most at the beginning, and pulled her senior brothers and sisters to help, so she was most angry after knowing the facts: "It's shameless!

Ding Rong smiled and patted her on the shoulder, and then asked, "Third Senior Brother, what about Yu Yang?

"Recently, there have been many bizarre deaths on the way from the west to the imperial capital, most of them died by fire, and the corpses were completely destroyed, sometimes leaving only stumps, which looked disgusting and strange. Qu Ling said coldly.

"Is there some villain who did it? This is not a matter for us to take care of, it should be a matter for the government and the yamen. Ding Rong asked.

"What if there are often incendiary stumps on the corpse residue?"

Ye Zhi also frowned: "Someone used a burning charm to burn people to death? This kind of charm requires a certain amount of cultivation to be activated, is it a cultivator or a demon?"

"I don't know, so I'm going to look it up. Qu Linghan said: "There is another strange aspect. ”

The crowd asked, "What?"

"If you use the incendiary charm to kill people, you will be burned alive and painful, and after death, you will become a ghost, and you will often turn into a ghost or a ghost, however, when we returned to the imperial capital, we happened to meet a few people who were burned to death, and there were ghosts around them. ”

Xiang Nan didn't understand: "Of course they are there, no matter how they die, they can always appear at the moment of death, they have to detain the ghosts back to the underworld, otherwise the world will not be full of ghosts." ”

Qu Linghan said: "The ghosts, they are here, but they are looking for ghosts." The ghosts that these people turned into disappeared the moment the ghosts appeared, and the ghosts couldn't find them. ”

Ding Rong asked, "Listen...... I think the problem is not small, can the little junior brother deal with it?"

"Tong Yuyang's cultivation is much purer than yours, not to mention that he has a flexible brain, and he will come to rescue the soldiers if something happens. Ye Zhi knocked Ding Rong's head.

Ding Rong pushed Ye Zhi's fingers away and suggested: "Then we are idle and idle, and we will also go out of the palace to help him investigate the case together, right?"

"No, I can't. Ye Zhi objected.

Everyone asked, "Why?"

Ye Zhi: "The matter of the senior brother has not yet been decided. ”

Ding Rong: "He doesn't pay attention to us now, does he?" he said that he could ask us to look at the stars when he was free. ”

"He's already here. Ye Zhi pointed to the gate of the small courtyard, and Ruiwang Jinping Lu was pushing open the door.

In the main hall, King Rui and they all sat down, and King Rui looked a little hesitant, as if he didn't know how to speak.

Xiang Nan said: "Senior brother is coming over tonight, could it be that the emperor agreed to let us go to Mingjing Palace to see the glazed roof?"

"It's not. Ladies and gentlemen, as a senior brother, I have never helped you in anything, and I have never even practiced together, but now I can only be cheeky and ask you for help. King Rui folded his hands and bowed down to the people.

The junior brothers and sisters hurriedly stood up: "Senior brother is too polite. Since we are the same people, it is right to help each other, is there anything we can do?"

"I beg everyone to check together, what kind of illness the emperor has. After speaking, King Rui explained to everyone that the emperor was in good health in the past and suddenly had hemoptysis, and at the end he also said that the queen mother was the same.

After listening, Ye Zhi asked Qu Linghan: "What do you think, is there a way to repair the body?" Qu Linghan's natal skill is this.

Qu Linghan frowned and asked, "Not sure...... It can be hard. I've heard of similar situations, so I'll ask you, senior brother, how old was the Empress Dowager when she died, and what was the emperor's age?"

Although he didn't understand why the third junior brother asked, King Rui still replied: "The Queen Mother is only a few days away, and it will be her fiftieth birthday." Your Majesty, next month should be thirty-one years old, and thirty years old. ”

Ye Zhi asked Qu Linghan: "...... do you suspect?"

Qu Linghan nodded: "No matter how bad the imperial doctor is, it won't be like this, right?" This matter is too strange, I do suspect that it is not the disease, but the death curse that depends on the disease. ”

"What death curse?" asked King Rui, feeling very annoyed that he had given up his cultivation in the first place, and that he didn't know much about it.

Ye Zhidao: "We don't know what the specific death curse is. However, some people who can cast spells, with a collection of resentment, can complete the death curse, and the death curse has a characteristic, often the curse person dies at the age of ten years. ”

Ding Rong asked, "Why the whole ten?"

"Because of the whole ten, the incantation is more pleasant. "The Way of the Leaves.

Everyone: "......"
