The day after Yan Xiu fainted, when everyone went to Changle Palace to pay their respects, they all gathered around Zhu Sijia and asked about yesterday's situation.
Yu Xin and others are not so caring out of love. Yan Xiu is their monarch. Putting aside the personal relationship between their children, as Yan Xiu's subjects, they should pay more attention to him.
Although Zhu Siyi, Yang Bixue, and Fang Xinyue cared about Yan Xiu, they did not bother to associate with Zhu Sijia's group, so they left first after paying their respects.
To Zhu Sijia's surprise, Wu Lingxi woke up early today and followed Zhenzhen to Changle Palace.
Wulingxi was like a happy bird, chirping around Zhu Sijia.
She is innocent and lively, and although her Chinese is even worse than Zhenzhen's before, everyone likes her and treats her as their younger sister.
Although Wu Lingxi only met Zhu Sijia a few times, she was warmly entertained by Zhu Sijia every time.
Miao women did not have many opportunities to study, and the most rare thing was a gentle and kind woman like Zhu Sijia. She did not know anything about poetry and poetry. Zhu Sijia was both smart and sensible. In her eyes, she was a model of being knowledgeable and sensible.
I wish Scarlett will tell you what happened yesterday.
Du Xian: "Didn't you expect that the unsolved case in Xijing could also trouble Your Majesty?"
In her opinion, as an emperor, Yan Xiu probably had no one who could be more ruthless than him for thousands of years.
The history of Xijing City has attracted visitors from all over the world, and there have been countless unsolved serial murder cases. Such a ruthless emperor would actually be troubled by the serial murder cases in the city——
Perhaps it is because of the rumors related to Zhu Sijia.
Zhu Sijia and the others present briefly reviewed the unsolved case in Xijing, and then relayed to them the details of Fu Zhu's case that Yan Xiu had revealed to her one by one.
Wu Lingxi felt goosebumps all over his body when he heard Fu Zhu use the birth date and five elements attributes to infer the murderer's next crime target: "This is too much of a coincidence."
Zhenzhen: "What kind of coincidence?"
Wu Lingxi: "Is there such a thing as witchcraft on your grassland?"
Zhenzhen: "That's natural. Those who know witchcraft on the grassland are our witch doctors, but the witchcraft of our grassland people is nothing compared to that of your Miao people."
Wu Lingxi nodded: "When I first came to Xijing, I heard people outside mention the so-called cat demon unsolved case. Especially when I heard that the deceased were all fourteen-year-old girls whose hearts were taken out, I thought it was too coincidental."
"It wasn't until Zhaoyi revealed more details about the case that I was even more shocked."
"There is a secret technique in our Miao territory. Perhaps it is better to describe it as a poison. Just plant the poison on the person who needs it, and feed it with Zihe Che and the girl's fresh heart every half month. Feed it four times in total, and the poison will be given to the person who needs it. The Gu will eat the old carrion everywhere in the mother's body, and it will achieve the miraculous effect of rejuvenating the child."
Such a cruel method made everyone feel chills.
Wu Lingxi: "Because this method is too cruel, it was listed as a forbidden technique by the great elders in Miao territory many years ago."
Yu Xin thought for a moment and asked her again: "Princess, do you mean that this forbidden technique was spread to Xijing?"
Wu Lingxi was originally confident, but now he was a little unsure after Yu Xin's rhetorical question:
"This...I'm not very sure, but the birthdays of the deceased people mentioned by the empress happen to match the girl's heart needed for this forbidden technique."
"Perhaps the murderer hit him by mistake. It is very possible that he happened to encounter this forbidden technique."
After all, the criminal had withstood eight tortures that were worse than death, and the words he spoke were extremely credible.
Wu Lingxi's words aroused the curiosity of several people in the hall about various kinds of Gu insects in Miao territory.
It was cold in the morning, so Zhu Sijia simply asked the palace guests to form a circle of chairs, and everyone sat around the stove. Various melons and fruits were roasted on the stove, filling the room with a fragrant aroma.
Yu Xin was the most curious about such strange stories. She asked Wu Lingxi:
"If Luo Yang really took money to kill people and take their hearts, he only succeeded three times and was caught by Master Fu on the fourth time. The mother who took the poisonous worms did not finish feeding four times. Was there a backlash?"
Wu Lingxi tried hard to recall the Miao forbidden book she had peeked at: "Well... there shouldn't be any. Since you've eaten it three times, you won't be bitten by the poisonous insects."
"The only trouble is that although the Gu worm has not been fed to maturity, it has remained in the host's body. To suppress it, the host can only eat Zihe Che every half a month starting from the third dose of medicine. It will not stop until death.”
Zhu Scarlett: "Will you die if you stop?"
Wu Lingxi: "It's not like death, but it's just beyond recognition. Slender white worms several feet long and as big as the tip of a needle are clearly visible under the surface of the face."
Du Xian took a deep breath: "I don't think I need to eat today's lunch and dinner."
Yu Xin and Zhenzhen covered their mouths: "Me too."
Zhu Sijia was the only one who had not expressed her position yet. Zhu Sijia spread her hands and said, "As you all know, I will spend more time with His Majesty these days."
Du Xian wiped the melon seed shells off her body and was about to get up and leave. Before leaving, she suggested to Zhu Sijia:
"You can't let your Majesty eat without food. When your Majesty and your Majesty had dinner together, your Majesty also told His Majesty the secrets of Miao territory."
Yu Xin pushed her out and said, "Some bad ideas come up every day."
At dinner time, I wish Scarlett a bad appetite.
She often comes to Tai Chi Palace now. Aunt Duan has been preparing dishes for her for a while, so she naturally remembers her preferences clearly.
It's just that she has a bad appetite today. The dishes on the plate are almost piled up, but she still doesn't use her chopsticks.
Yan Xiu probed her forehead: "Are you sick?"
It couldn't be that she was tired when she came to Tai Chi Palace to attend to his illness yesterday.
Zhu Sijia thought about the beauty-resident Gu insect she heard about today and couldn't eat it. But if, as Du Xian said - she disgusted Yan Xiu now, would he also put down his chopsticks?
Forget it, he is still taking medicine to recuperate his health.
Out of conscience, Zhu Sijia first tested Yan Xiu's attitude: "Your Majesty, do you really want to hear it?"
Yan Xiu: "Is there anything I can't listen to?"
I wish Scarlett: "Then your Majesty, please feel free to eat. When you finish eating at night and prepare to fall asleep, I will tell you more."
Yan Xiu: "Okay, you should eat more now."
Zhu Sijia felt embarrassed, and was afraid that Aunt Duan would blame herself: "I, I, I will try my best, concubine."
At night, I wish Scarlett to rest in Tai Chi Palace.
She and Yan Xiu had a quarrel in the bathtub for a while. While Yan Xiu was in high spirits, she was still frightened by what happened yesterday and worried that he didn't get enough rest.
Yan Xiu lit some incense as usual and wanted to stretch out on the bed with her, but was stopped by Zhu Sijia.
She exhaled like a blue breath: "Aren't you curious why my appetite is so small today?"
Yan Xiu: "Well, I almost forgot about it. If you have anything on your mind, just tell me."
I wish Scarlett would tell him about the poisonous insects.
In the candlelight, Yan Xiu's handsome face showed an incredible look for the first time. Zhu Sijia blinked at him quickly and put on his clothes: "Xuanzhi, it's getting late, go to bed first."
At this point, Yan Xiu was no longer in any affectionate mood. He reached out and put out the bedside lamp: "Yes."
But lying on the bed, Yan Xiu's thoughts thought of more things.
