He Bucai and Su Rou's room was simply decorated, and all the furniture was extremely ordinary. Except for a few good-looking calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, there were no other valuable things in the room.
It is difficult to imagine that this is the room of a prince consort and a princess.
What's more, they also run Tianxi Teahouse, which makes money quickly.
Zhang Xiaozhu was surprised that he did not see the magnificence and exquisite luxury he imagined.
From the time he entered the mansion until now, he could probably tell that neither He Bucai nor Su Rou were vain, greedy for pleasure, or arrogant and lewd people.
Although these two people are sitting on mountains of gold and silver and enjoy endless glory and wealth, they live a simple and simple life.
Zhang Xiaozu couldn't help but have a lot of affection for the two of them.
Zhang Xiaozu walked around the outside twice, carefully checking every item and every corner in the room with his subtle mind and ghost eyes, but found no poisonous eggs or anything suspicious.
"There's nothing wrong with the outside. Can you go into the inner bedroom and take a look?" Zhang Xiaozu asked.
"Master, please come in." Su Rou walked in front and made an inviting gesture towards Zhang Xiaopou.
She had already asked her maid Shaoyao to tidy up the bedroom to prevent Zhang Xiaozu from seeing some private items that she was ashamed to reveal.
"I'm offended." Zhang Xiaozu politely apologized, then followed He Bucai and Su Rou into the bedroom.
As soon as he entered the bedroom, his brows suddenly furrowed and his eyes fell on a vermilion shelf placed against the east wall.
There are more than ten items placed on the shelves, all of which are presented in exquisitely crafted brocade boxes or jade boxes. You can tell at a glance that they are valuable items.
Su Rou noticed the change in Zhang Xiaozhu's expression, and couldn't help but feel a thump in her heart. She frowned slightly and asked, "Did you find anything, Master?"
Not all the things placed on the shelves are valuable, many are commemorative items for her, such as childhood toys, or small items of special significance given to her by her father, queen, and queen.
She had lived in Shepherd City for a long time and it was not convenient for her to return to the imperial capital, so she placed it in her room and occasionally took it out to play with and appreciate to comfort her longing.
There were also several gifts given to her by He Bucai.
If there were poisonous insects hidden in these things, she couldn't imagine how she would deal with them.
But Zhang Xiaozu's expression and reaction clearly told her that the poisonous insects were hidden among these things.
At this moment, she felt panicked like never before. Her whole brain was like a mess and she couldn't think.
He Bucai felt Su Rou's panic and reached out to quietly hold her little hand.
Feeling He Bucai's strong palms and warm heart warmth, Su Rou's panicked heart seemed to find support and gradually calmed down.
"Can you open it?" Zhang Xiaozu walked to the shelf and asked, pointing to a warm white jade box on the third floor.
His subtle state of mind did not notice anything strange in the jade box, but Guitong told him that there was a dark atmosphere hidden in the jade box.
"Okay." Su Rou nodded.
The jade box is as long as an arm and five inches wide. The bottom of the box is lined with yellow silk, and on the yellow silk is placed half of a blood ginseng. Because it has been stored in the jade box for a long time, the color of the blood ginseng is bright and as red as blood.
The blood ginseng was originally a whole stick, but Su Rou had stewed the other half into a nourishing soup and eaten it.
This blood ginseng was sent by Concubine Rong in the palace to nourish Su Rou after she gave birth to her second child.
Blood ginseng is an extremely precious spiritual substance that can help postpartum women quickly restore their blood and body functions. If the woman eats it, it can also nourish the baby through milk and water, which is very beneficial to the growth of the baby.
Such a large blood ginseng cannot be bought with just money. With Concubine Rong's ordinary status in the harem, she must have relied on many connections and spent a lot of effort to get it.
Su Rou, who was in her confinement at that time, was so moved by this important gift that was filled with the care of her elders that she burst into tears.
She told He Bucai with runny noses and tears that Concubine Rong must have begged countless people and endured the ridicule and sneers of countless people to get this blood ginseng.
He Bucai comforted her and gave Concubine Rong a generous gift in return.
Su Rou ate half of the bottle and left half of it, so she put the remaining half in the room to miss and be grateful to Concubine Rong.
She is a very sentimental woman, and she will remember whoever treats her well for the rest of her life.
"Sir, is there something wrong with this blood ginseng?" Su Rou asked uneasily with her heart hanging.
She really didn't want to believe that Concubine Rong's love for her was actually poison that could harm others.
She didn't want to think of people as so dark and sinister.
"Has the other half of the blood ginseng been taken by Her Royal Highness?" Zhang Xiaozhu asked.
"Yes." Su Rou nodded.
"If my guess is correct, the poisonous insects in Her Royal Highness's body should come from the half of the blood ginseng, because there are still two poisonous eggs in the remaining half of the blood ginseng." Zhang Xiaozu said in a deep voice.
"Yes - yes?" Su Rou looked a little dazed, pursed her lips, her heart was suffocating and aching, and she felt as if her heart was being tightly grasped by a big hand.
Zhang Xiaozhu continued: "Fortunately, the princess only ate half of the blood ginseng. If she had eaten the whole blood ginseng and allowed four poisonous insects to invade her body, the princess's body would have been -"
I'm afraid Zhang Xiaopeng didn't say anything, but Su Rou and He Bucai knew in their hearts that the color on their faces was gone, and they were terrified.
Under the gazes of He Bucai and Su Rou, Zhang Xiaozhu touched the blood ginseng lightly with his fingers, used his strength to cut open the blood ginseng, and then used his nails to pick out two white worm eggs the size of needle tips. If you don't look carefully, It can't be found at all.
Zhang Xiaozu placed two poison eggs on the lid of the jade box, pricked the tip of his index finger with force, and dropped a drop of blood on the poison eggs.
As soon as the Gu eggs came into contact with Zhang Xiaozu's blood, they suddenly started to move, growing several times in size at a speed visible to the naked eye. Then the Gu worms burst out of the eggs, with a pointed head and a round tail, exactly like the Gu worms spit out by Su Rou.
There is overwhelming evidence that the poison in Su Rou comes from blood ginseng.
"It's really scary to live when you see blood. I wonder if the ambergris fruit can restrain the poisonous poison?" Zhang Xiaozu stared at the two hatched poisonous insects and was secretly shocked.
As soon as this idea flashed through his mind, the two Gu insects suddenly twisted violently twice, and then their vitality disappeared and there was no movement.
Zhang Xiaozhu looked stunned, unsure whether the Gu insect died on its own or because it sucked his blood.
Su Rou took a deep breath, put away her messy mood, and asked Zhang Xiaozu: "Please sir, please check carefully to see if there is anything poisonous hidden in the room."
Zhang Xiaozu shook his head and said: "No more. It's just——"
As soon as they heard Zhang Xiaozu say "it's just", He Bucai and Su Rou's hearts suddenly thumped, not knowing what else could be bad.
Just listen to Zhang Xiaozu say: "There is a Yin tomb under this house, so don't live in it for the time being. If you have time, find a Taoist or eminent monk to do a ritual and move the Yin tomb under the house. Yang occupying the Yin house, you are at fault. , try to be polite and don’t embarrass others.”
After He Bucai and Su Rou heard this, they could not help but feel their scalp numb and frightened when they thought that they had slept in a dark tomb for so many years, and shivered.
"My virtuous brother is a master disciple of Sanqing Temple, and his Taoism is superb. Can I trouble my virtuous brother to do this ritual?" He Bucai asked hurriedly. He was already impressed by Zhang Xiaozu's superb skills. If he could let Zhang Xiaozu do this ritual, He is most at ease.
Su Rou also looked at Zhang Xiaozu expectantly.
Zhang Xiaozhu smiled awkwardly and said: "I have only learned the method of destroying ghosts, but I have not yet practiced the art of rituals, so I can't help you."
Woo——
As soon as Zhang Xiaozhu finished speaking, a dark wind suddenly blew out of thin air in the room.
The cold and biting wind was swirling, making things in the room rattle.
"snort!"
A cold snort sounded in the dark wind.
"Brother Xian, what's going on?!" He Bucai asked in fright, while holding Su Rou in his arms.
"fine."
"Maybe the guys below don't want to move." Zhang Xiaozhu sneered.
After speaking, he stamped his feet, and a large number of golden spells surged out of his body, directly suppressing the evil wind in the room.
Zhang Xiaozu shouted: "Yin and Yang are not in harmony with each other. You are violating the laws of the Yang world by hiding in the Yang world. I think you don't have a bad temper in your body, so you probably haven't harmed anyone. Besides, it's not easy to practice, so I turn a blind eye to you." Close one eye, don't be ignorant of good and evil."
Woo——
The dark wind stirred, trying to blow away Zhang Xiaopou's spell suppression.
At the same time, a gloomy voice came from the ground: "This is my home. If you want to move, you should move. Don't bully others too much. If you make me anxious, don't blame me for fighting with you."
"Brother, it doesn't make sense for us to occupy his ghost house. Otherwise, we can just move." He Bucai said. He was afraid of ghosts and wanted to give in.
But Zhang Xiaozu's eyes widened and he shouted angrily: "This is the Yang world, not the underworld. The laws of the Yang world are followed. There is no reason for a Yang person to give in to a Yin person. How dare a mere brat act like a monster in front of this Taoist master? If you dare to be nagging again, don’t blame me for turning against you and mercilessly killing you!"
"Ha ha--"
The underground ghost laughed wildly and said: "I have been practicing for more than 360 years. How can I be afraid of you, a little brat with no hair on your head?! Let me destroy you!"
He shouted loudly, and the room was suddenly shrouded in darkness. The biting wind tore Zhang Xiaozu's spell into pieces, blowing on Zhang Xiaozu's body like a knife shaving flesh.
