Chapter 5 Suspected of being an evil and losing his soul
"Young Guogong, get up. ”
Xiaoying Xiaotian saluted, followed by several maids, holding clothes and basins.
Although they listened to Mrs. Xiu's instructions and asked Xiaoying Xiaotian to take Zhang Xian's hair, they didn't know what to do with their hair, and they didn't dare to ask more, they didn't know the inside story at all, and they still told Zhang Xian to get up and wash up as always.
Zhang Xian's mind moved, so he pretended to be a strange illness, and let Mrs. Xiu not figure out the situation for the time being, and when Uncle Liu came back, everything would be easy, and Uncle Liu was the only person he trusted.
Xiaoying Xiaotian walked to the bed and wanted to help him get up, but he lay motionless, without his usual smirk, and without any answer, his face was expressionless and his eyes were dull.
"What's wrong with Shao Guogong?"
Xiao Ying immediately noticed that something was wrong, and usually asked the little fool to get up, the little fool was all smirking, and he could still talk slowly, but why didn't he move this morning.
"Shaoguo Gong, Shao Guogong, what's wrong with you?"
Xiao Tian hurriedly shouted and shook Zhang Xian's body, Zhang Xian just didn't move, didn't react, the two girls were startled, don't look at their usual bullying Zhang Xian, it's just a few small actions, if Zhang Xian is really bad, they, as personal maids, will inevitably be punished, even if they have Mrs. Xiu's support, they will inevitably have to be punished.
Of course, they didn't know that Mrs. Xiu had treated them as outcasts.
"I guess I'm sick, go and tell Madame, call the medical officer. ”
The two girls didn't dare to delay, and immediately went out to call someone, and the maids and guards outside heard that Shaoguo Gong was sick, and they also hurried closer to this side, Xiaoying ordered one person to call the medical officer, and she went to call Mrs. Xiu herself
After a while, the news of Zhang Xian's illness spread in all directions, and the entire Guogong Mansion was alarmed.
Although Shao Guogong is a fool, the safety of Shao Guogong is related to the situation of the entire Guogong Mansion, and the health of Shao Guogong has always been a matter of great concern to everyone.
Mrs. Xiu had just gotten up at this time, and the maid was grooming Mrs. Xiu, counting the time in her heart, and as expected, Xiao Ying hurriedly ran in and said, "Tell Madame, Shaoguo Gong is sick." ”
"Huh, sick?"
Mrs. Xiu raised her eyebrows, and her tone was a little questioning, didn't Yuan Chengzi say that he was dead, but why didn't he die, but he was just sick?
Hearing Mrs. Xiu's tone, Xiao Ying was frightened, thinking that Mrs. was to blame, so she quickly knelt down and begged for mercy, "Madam, tell Shao Guogong to get up this morning, and Shao Guogong will not move." ”
"Why don't you move?" Mrs. Xiu reacted, immediately asked, and didn't bother to make up, stood up, and several maids who were dressing up carefully retreated to the side.
Xiao Ying said: "I don't know, it was fine last night, but just now Xiao Tian and I waited for Shao Guogong to get up, and Shao Guogong lay on the bed and didn't move, and he didn't speak." ”
"Well, don't panic, I'm in charge of everything. ”
Mrs. Xiu nodded, and appeased Xiao Ying first, no matter what the situation was, go over and take a look first, and set off to walk outside, Xiao Ying followed closely, cautiously, and the rest of the maids also followed, not even daring to come out.
Coming to Zhang Xian's room, Xiao Tian saw Mrs. and carefully stepped aside, Mrs. Xiu carefully checked Zhang Xian's condition, it was indeed not moving, was it paralyzed?
"Xiaoyao, Xiaoyao, wake up, it's time to get up. Mrs. Xiu shouted softly, with a smile on her face like a good wife and mother, and shouted several times.
Looking at the woman in front of him, smiling hypocritically, Zhang Xian also laughed in his heart, he was going to harm him last night, he pretended to be a good person at this time, and now that his body is better, sooner or later he will make this poisonous woman regret it, but at this moment, he has to pretend to be motionless.
After confirming that Zhang Xian did not react, it was like being paralyzed, but Mrs. Xiu was a little more stable.
At this time, several elders in the mansion also rushed over, they were all brothers and uncles of Zhang Xian's grandfather's father, who held important positions in the Guogong Mansion, and the medical officer also rushed over, and everyone got out of the way and asked the medical officer to check Zhang Xian.
A total of five or six medical officers came, all of whom had the most profound medical skills in the house, and one by one stepped forward to check the pulse of Shao Guogong, and the room was silent, and everyone's attention was on the medical officer.
For a long time, several medical officers were frowning, the pulse was normal, the qi and blood were smooth, and the cause was not found, but Shaoguo Gong was paralyzed and did not move, as if he had lost his soul, and the medical officers lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
When everyone saw this scene, they knew that the situation was not good, and they also looked at each other, you look at me, I look at you, and exchange glances.
If the young prince is gone, the heir to the position of the prince will have to be fought for, you must know that this successor is not just as simple as inheritance, but also involves the future of the entire Guogong Mansion, especially the battle between the crown prince and the three princes.
Emperor Yang is nearly sixty years old, and he can't live long, and the battle between several princes is getting more and more intense.
"Medical officer, what's wrong with Xiaoyao, you tell the truth. Mrs. Xiu spoke.
The medical officers were cautious, for fear of being blamed, and an old doctor said: "Madam, our medical skills are shallow, our learning skills are not perfect, and we can't check the condition of Shao Guogong, but it is like ...... It's like an evil spirit. ”
"What?
As soon as she heard this, Mrs. Xiu was stunned, could it be that this matter was seen by the medical officer, and suddenly there was a murderous intention, and the rest of the people also frowned, and the whole atmosphere was tense.
Seeing this, the medical officers turned pale with fright, and hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.
As the so-called companion of the king is like a tiger, for the prince and the magnate to see a doctor, if it is cured, of course, fame and fortune, the scenery is unlimited, but if it is not cured, this has to be careful, many famous doctors have died like this, and since ancient times, those famous doctors who have lived for a long time have almost traveled all over the world, away from the princes and magnates.
"How did you fall into the evil spirit, you can make it clear, I saw that Xiaoyao was fine yesterday, why did I fall into the evil spirit?" a cousin asked, it was Uncle Yan who was in the library yesterday.
The medical officer hurriedly replied: "We are just ordinary doctors, I don't know how to do it, and I don't know how it is, but the condition of Shaoguo Gong is like being evil and losing his soul, maybe he is looking for a Taoist priest to open the altar and recruit a soul." ”
Fang Xian five techniques, mountain, medicine, life, phase, divination, prescription medicine and ordinary medicine are different, prescription medicine is biased towards alchemy, with mystery, the main treatment of some strange evil diseases, or refining Jindan elixir or something, and ordinary medicine is decoction, treatment of conventional diseases, so it is called mortal medicine.
"Evil spirit, lost soul, this ......"
Hearing this, Zhang's uncles' brows furrowed even deeper, and they glanced at each other, all of them thought of more things, and Zhang's still knew a little bit about the doorway.
Zhang Xian's father and grandfather all studied Fang Xian, and the library collected a lot of Fang Xian Taoist books, although Fang Xian's mystic art is difficult to read, but some basic things are still known, this paralysis without warning, and the cause can not be detected, it is indeed quite like evil.
However, there are so many people in the Guogong Mansion, and others are not evil, but they are young Guogong and evil, this thing is strange, not to mention that the marriage between the Guogong Mansion and the prince is coming soon, and it is too suspicious to be evil at this juncture.
Mrs. Xiu saw that the uncles' faces were displeased, and her mind turned quickly, she must not let this matter be related to the evil spirit, otherwise she would find out the clues, which would be troublesome.
"You quack, you can't find the cause of the disease, you shirk the evil spirit, cunning excuses, it's really hateful. Mrs. Xiu was immediately furious and scolded: "Come on, pull me down, fight fifty battles, demote to a concubine, and never hire in the future." ”
When the guards outside heard the order, they immediately came in, and the medical officer was so frightened that he begged for mercy, but he was dragged out, and the rest of the medical officers did not dare to speak, and the cold sweat behind them was already soaking through their clothes.
Zhang Xian lay motionless on the bed, but his heart was lying in a groove, of course he knew that Mrs. Xiu's poisonous woman was deliberate, and he was pitiful for this medical officer, who suffered because of him, but he also couldn't help himself, this is the danger of the princely and wealthy family, and the height is unbearable.
"Princess Embroidery, I look at the situation of Xiaoyao, it is indeed like losing my soul, I might as well ask Daoist Qiu to take a look. Uncle Yan spoke, with the mentality of giving it a try.
Zhang Xian listened, he is no stranger to this Qiu Daochang, he is the host of the Taoist Temple in the west of the city, commonly known as Qiu Shiren, the Taoist name Yongcheng, he was a poor talent when he was young, he entered Beijing to catch the exam, but he repeatedly failed the exam, and later admired Fang Xian, and went to ask for immortals at home, and it is said that he worshiped the Geshan faction.
Geshan faction is one of the three authentic sects of Fang Xian enshrined by the imperial court, has a history of thousands of years, the ancestor is a celebrity in the history of Fang Xian, the road name is Shangqing Lingbao Zhenren, the legend is to get the inheritance of the ancestors of the three Qing immortals, practice in a place called Geshan, leave descendants, descendants preach its inheritance, the disciples and grandchildren pass on more and more, and gradually form the Geshan faction.
Qiu Daochang learned to become a teacher, traveled and practiced, and later came to Wenxian County, and Zhang Xian's father was a Taoist friend, and the Guogong Mansion donated money to Qiu Daochang to build a Taoist temple on the mountain west of the city, called Xishan Temple.
Xishan Temple is equivalent to the Guogong Mansion enshrined, Qiu Daochang often goes in and out of the Guogong Mansion, the daily activities of the Guogong Mansion, funeral marriage, building groundbreaking, auspicious day selection, exorcism and prayer, etc., are all presided over by this Qiu Daochang.
Everyone said that this Daoist Qiu was really Taoist, but Zhang Xian had never seen it with his own eyes, and he didn't know if it was true or not.
"I think it's feasible, so I quickly went to Xishan to ask Daoist Qiu. ”
A few uncles nodded, agreed with Uncle Yan's proposal, it didn't hurt to try, and said: "It just so happens that the marriage contract is coming, please ask Daoist Qiu to divinate a hexagram and choose an auspicious day for the zodiac." ”
At this point, several uncles looked at Mrs. Xiu, this is to let Mrs. Xiu express her position, after all, Mrs. Xiu is the stepmother of the young prince and the lady who is marrying in the Guogong Mansion, and behind Mrs. Xiu there are Li Guifei and the third prince, as well as the mother's family He.
"Your uncle's proposal is very good, just do it like this, and go to Daoist Qiu immediately. ”
Mrs. Xiu had to agree, but on the surface, she stood on the side of the Wenguo Mansion, treated Zhang Xian like her own son, and also supported the marriage between Zhang Xian and the prince's daughter.
However, in Mrs. Xiu's heart, the killing machine is even heavier.
