"Mr. Wang, don't you want to know how Aunt Cuihe learned about the witchcraft doll?"
Gu Shufei held the doll in her hand and spoke casually to Manager Wang.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, Manager Wang immediately stopped on his feet, turned around and saluted Gu Shufei, "If Miss Gu has any clues here, please let us know."
"The little girl just has a guess. If Manager Wang is willing to listen, then of course the girl will tell everything she knows."
Gu Shufei walked to the table, poured out a pot of tea that had already cooled down, and pushed it in the direction of Manager Wang.
Upon seeing this, Manager Wang walked up to Gu Shufei, sat down, picked up the tea cup and drank it all in one gulp.
Gu Shufei then spoke, "Since Cui He and others can frame me for making this witchcraft doll, then there can't be only one."
"how do I say this."
Eunuch Wang, the chief eunuch, narrowed his eyes, and Gu Shufei's figure appeared blurry with the flickering candlelight.
Gu Shufei slowly expressed his guess.
"Eunuch, please look at the fine stitching on this doll. It doesn't look like it was made temporarily. So I would venture to guess that in addition to this doll, there must be another one or two dolls similar to this one, but they are It's not a witchcraft doll, so I don't dare to speculate."
After finishing speaking, Gu Shufei also poured herself a cup of herbal tea, held it in her hand, took a sip and held it for a while before swallowing it.
This short period of time was enough for the prince's mind to go back and forth several times.
"Please give me some advice from the girl."
The prince stood up immediately and saluted Gu Shufei again.
"My father-in-law is too polite to give advice."
"If the eldest princess finds out, the father-in-law will go to war and bring a group of people to search my room...
So for this scene, it would be best to ask my father-in-law to check on everyone else as well. What do you think, my father-in-law? "
Gu Shufei looked at the prince and the prince with a smile, and nodded immediately after hearing this, "The girl is still thoughtful."
As soon as he finished speaking, a few more young eunuchs were brought in to search all the rooms next door.
Sure enough, I really found something else.
When Eunuch Wang got those things, his expression changed drastically.
He hurriedly sent the young eunuch to the imperial study.
"These palace people are so brave, they dare to collect these things."
Gu Shufei glanced at it and seemed to see something in the shape of a doll.
The items that were found were the witchcraft dolls that Cui He and her other maid named Xia Liu had hidden in the closet and were wrapped in several layers of clothing.
At this moment, the prince held these two dolls in his hands and felt that they were extremely hot to the touch.
He immediately ordered people to go to the imperial study room.
Do you really think she is just a nerd studying medicine?
As early as modern times, she had published a paper called "Analysis and Application of Miao Gu Insects in Medicine".
After studying Gu insects, I happened to check out some legends about witchcraft and Gu techniques in Miao territory at that time.
At that time, I looked through it a few times out of curiosity, and there happened to be this witchcraft doll.
I didn't expect it to come in handy here. It seems that more learning is beneficial.
So everyone came to the imperial study room under the emperor's custody.
The prince told the saint everything he had just discovered.
Gu Shufei knelt down and did not dare to move. She only felt a sharp gaze cast directly on her body.
"You guys are quite good. How dare you violate the palace rules!"
The emperor's words were cold and without a trace of emotion, but they were like the cold snowflakes in winter that were biting and scratching one's heart.
Gu Shufei found that the hands of Cui He and Xia Liu beside her couldn't help shaking, and she felt very funny in her heart. She had known this, so why did they do it in the first place.
"Tell me what's going on with this witchcraft doll."
After a long while, the emperor threw the first question at Cui He.
Cui He clenched his teeth, his face turned red, and he couldn't stop kowtowing to the saint.
"Your Majesty, this servant has been wronged."
"Slave... this slave is unjust..."
Cui He kept trembling and could only mutter these few words back and forth.
The emperor raised his hand and threw the tea cup at Cui He's body. The tea cup rolled along Cui He's body and rolled onto the carpet, rolling in circles a few more times.
Coming hurriedly from outside, a young eunuch interrupted the tense atmosphere in the house.
The little eunuch walked up to the emperor and whispered a few words. The emperor's eyes felt like ice and snow were melting, bringing a little warmth.
The emperor nodded towards the little eunuch and then the eunuch walked outside to reply.
Not long after, I heard a gentle sound of footsteps outside, mixed with the cool sound of silver bells.
The cool sound of silver bells also carries the fragrance of wintersweet.
When no one was paying attention, Gu Shufei raised his head and glanced, and saw that the person was Dai Yingyue, the princess of the Miao ethnic group.
Dai Yingyue no longer looked like a girl when they first met, but now she looked more like a delicate and blooming rose.
Dai Yingyue took a closer look and said to the emperor with a solemn expression: "Isn't this saint a thing of my clan? Why are you here?"
When the emperor heard this, he was shocked. He just said quietly, "These are objects found from several palace maids. You should step forward and take a closer look."
When Dai Yingyue heard this, he took two steps forward, took the doll in his hand and looked at it carefully, and then said with certainty, "This is indeed a thing of our clan, but why does it appear here?"
Waiting for Yingyue to look at the emperor suspiciously, and then looked around at the group of people kneeling below them one by one.
As if she had just discovered Gu Shufei in the crowd, she looked coquettishly at the emperor and exclaimed, "Why is she here, Your Majesty? Could it be that she stole this thing."
Upon hearing this, Gu Shufei began to complain crazily in her heart, and it was the same familiar routine again.
Why is this Miao princess just like a candy? Is it possible that she has to put the shit basin on her body?
When the emperor saw this, he told Dai Yingyue what had happened before.
"Oh, so these two palace ladies are the ones stealing things? If they dare to steal my things, why not just kill them and leave their corpses intact?"
Dai Yingyue looked at the emperor with rolling eyes and secretly hooked the emperor's hand under the cover of her long sleeves.
The emperor who was hooked could only think of what happened last night, and his heart was itching unbearably.
Thinking of this, the emperor said seriously, "In that case, let's drag these two palace men down."
"As for you...have you finished washing your clothes?"
The emperor looked at Gu Shufei who was kneeling down.
Only then did Gu Shufei dare to answer, "Fortunately, I did not disgrace my life."
"It's just that Your Majesty, I still have something unclear about my daughter. The princess said that this is a belonging of her clan. Why was it easily stolen by the palace servants in the Clothing Bureau?"
"These things are not your responsibility. Now that the punishment has been completed, you can go directly to the eldest princess later and do what you should do."
It's not that the emperor didn't understand what Gu Shufei meant.
He had his own considerations. First of all, this was a princess sent by the Miao people to express the friendly relations between the two countries.
Secondly, this woman does have "proud capital" and it doesn't matter if she doesn't cause any big trouble.
