Hearing the words "Shang Shufu", Zhu Yuanyu couldn't help frowning, why did he mention Shangshu Mansion again?
Wang Guangli and Fu Yin also looked at each other.
Wang Guangli's head hurt when he thought that this might not be simple.
Take Mrs. Li to the dungeon and keep her there until everything is investigated. After leaving Shuntian Mansion, Zhu Yuanyu and his uncle took a carriage together and returned to the palace. Zhu Dafu and Wang Chunmei were actually there.
As soon as I mentioned the matter, everyone fell silent.
"Dad, have you offended the Minister of Punishment? Otherwise, how could they frame us like this?" Wang Jinyi couldn't hold back his words and asked.
Wang Guangli glared at him, "What nonsense!"
Cui Wen also glanced at Wang Jinyi with disapproval.
Wang Jinyi shut up and stopped mentioning it.
Without conclusive evidence, it is really hard to accuse your boss wrongly, and it would have a bad impact if others heard about it.
To say that the person behind this is really lacking in virtue, Mrs. Li is also very pitiful. She has only half her life left after all the torment. She doesn't have many days left to live, but she can't even kill the real murderer.
Now this matter has been put aside for the time being, but Wang Guangli's attitude towards his superiors has become more respectful on the surface, but secretly he has sent more people to investigate quietly, trying to get the truth as soon as possible.
…
On this day, Zhu Yuanyu was reading in the study. He didn't like to read the Book of Songs and history books, so he specially selected some miscellaneous travel notes and read them with gusto.
The morning sunlight was very warm, shining through the open window and shining on the desk. At this time, Zhu Yuanyu's face looked fair and clear, and it seemed that the fine hairs on the surface could be seen, and he was extremely well-behaved.
But this quiet scene was quickly broken.
"Yuan Yu——"
Often the sound arrives before the person arrives. Cousin Wang Jinyi comes over with an expression on his face as if he has something to do with you.
When I first met my cousin, I thought he was an aloof person. But as I got acquainted with him, I realized that his aloofness was just a lie. He was actually a tease. After getting along for a long time, Zhu Yuanyu got used to his cousin's carelessness.
Wang Jinyi put his hands on the table and stretched his neck, "What are you looking at?"
Zhu Yuanyu replied without raising his head: "Don't you know how to read it yourself?"
"Let me take a look -" he said, reaching out to take the book away, and Zhu Yuanyu followed suit.
Wang Jinyi flipped through it and threw it on the table again, "Do you like to see these? It's so boring."
Zhu Yuanyu rolled his eyes, picked up the book, opened the page he just saw, and continued reading.
When Wang Jinyi saw Zhu Yuanyu ignoring him, he suddenly felt a little aggrieved, and squeezed Zhu Yuanyu's face with both hands until it became soft.
Zhu Yuanyu slapped his hand down and said impatiently: "Why did you come to me?"
Wang Jinyi finally remembered the business, stopped joking with his cousin, and quickly told the story.
"You mean he invited me to his home to help his mother 'treat her illness'?" Zhu Yuanyu raised an eyebrow and said.
Wang Jinyi nodded, "Yes, I was surprised too."
Zhu Yuanyu flew a sword in the eye, and Wang Jinyi smiled sheepishly.
"So you told him about my magic skills? An outsider?"
Wang Jinyi was not sure whether Zhu Yuanyu was angry, and because he lacked confidence, he lowered his voice, "...it was just him, nothing else was said."
Zhu Yuanyu didn't blame him, it was just that this was the emperor's feet, so there was nothing wrong with being cautious. In the past, it was almost his father who had the final say in his hometown, so he felt comfortable using it in the court without any worries. There is still a difference between the two.
But now that things have come to an end, Zhu Yuanyu still nodded in agreement as he was considered a close friend of his cousin.
Seeing that Zhu Yuanyu was willing, Wang Jinyi left happily. He was going to tell his good brother and let him prepare everything.
No one disturbed him, and Zhu Yuanyu could finally read quietly. However, Zhu Yuanyu was still a little concerned about seeing Xi Jinbo again. His intuition told him that Xi Jinbo was a dangerous person. Although he looked gentle and harmless on the outside, he was actually ambitious. Not small.
Fortunately, the aura around Xi Jinbo was not dark, but more dazzling than ordinary people, otherwise Zhu Yuanyu would not have allowed his cousin to continue to have close contact with him.
…
The next morning, after breakfast, Wang Jinyi took the time to pick up Zhu Yuanyu.
After several previous lessons, Wang Jinyi also knew that Zhu Yuanyu usually got up later than ordinary people in the morning, so he deliberately waited for a while after having a meal at home and calculated the time before coming to pick him up.
The two took a carriage to Prince Xian's Mansion, got out of the carriage, and were led in by servants.
The first time he met Xi Jinbo, Zhu Yuanyu knew that his identity was not simple. Later, after listening to Wang Jinyi's words, Zhu Yuanyu confirmed Xi Jinbo's identity. Now that he entered Prince Xian's mansion, he was indeed very impressive.
After passing through the front yard and the long corridor, we reached the main hall and the boy who led the way retreated.
At this time, two people were sitting in the main hall.
Judging by their faces, one should be the Xian Wang, and the other is Xi Jinbo.
Zhu Yuanyu and his cousin stepped forward and bowed. King Xian looked good-tempered and smiling.
Zhu Yuanyu only felt that he was worthy of being a father and son, both smiling.
"Are you Zhu Yuanyu?" King Xian looked at him.
Zhu Yuanyu nodded, "I am."
"Well, he's a very energetic young man. I heard that you can do magic?"
Zhu Yuanyu quietly glared at Wang Jinyi, how come even the wise king knew about it? Didn’t you say that only Xi Jinbo should be told? The two of them were so unreliable in their work.
Wang Jinyi laughed dryly, he didn’t know either.
This time he will definitely be punished by his cousin when he returns home. Wang Jinyi glanced at Xi Jinbo complainingly, but the other party pretended not to see it.
How could the wise king not see their little moves and look at them in amusement.
Zhu Yuanyu's face was sullen and he replied expressionlessly: "I only know a little bit, why don't you let me see the 'patient' first?"
The wise king nodded, "Let's go."
Following the wise king through the winding corridors, passing through the flowery gardens, we finally stopped in a quiet courtyard. The flowers climbing on the fence around it exuded a light fragrance, which was very pleasant.
Knowing what he was here for, Zhu Yuanyu paid attention to the halo distribution around him all the way. Before he entered, he knew that there was indeed a problem.
That day in the study, Wang Jinyi told Zhu Yuanyu everything he knew. Although not everything, Zhu Yuanyu also understood based on what he saw.
On the way to Beijing, I met Xi Jinbo at a Buddhist temple to pray for the princess.
The princess suddenly contracted a strange disease a year ago. There was no trauma to her body, nor was she poisoned, but she was lethargic and even the imperial doctors were helpless.
I suspected that something unclean was at work, so I asked a respected master to take a look. After that, the princess woke up for several days, then suddenly fell into coma, and finally the master couldn't help it.
Wang Jinyi also knew that the princess was in poor health, but did not know why.
When Xi Jinbo asked someone to inquire about the whereabouts of capable people, he was deeply impressed by the incident where his mother was cursed, so he suddenly remembered his cousin's ability, so he mentioned it to Xi Jinbo. Unexpectedly, Xi Jinbo took it seriously and asked him to persuade Zhu Yuanyu. How could Wang Jinyi's hot-blooded heart not save him, so he came up with the scene in the study room.
Inviting Zhu Yuanyu to take action can be regarded as their destiny. Zhu Yuanyu happened to know the problem at hand.
If the guess is correct, the princess has also been cursed. This curse is not as powerful as that of her aunt Cui Wen. The caster will shorten his own lifespan, so it can cause people to die painfully in a very short period of time.
Although the princess's spell caster will not reduce the lifespan, the intention is the same. It is also to take the life of the person who was cursed and make the person die in a coma, unconscious.
This poisonous spell may seem harmless, but it is actually life-threatening.
This poisonous curse is called "half-moon sleep". As the name suggests, the person who is cursed will sleep for half a month and then die.
When Zhu Yuanyu said this, the wise king was very angry, but he still suppressed it.
Wang Jinyi found something suspicious and asked: "That's not right! The princess has been in a coma for a year! Yuan Yu, the 'half-month sleep' you mentioned is not just half a month..." I was embarrassed to mention that word.
King Xian and Xi Jinbo were also looking at Zhu Yuanyu, waiting for his explanation.
Zhu Yuanyu raised the corners of his mouth and raised his hand, "It was these flowers that saved the princess."
It refers to the humble little flower on the fence.
