When Shuhua heard Cheng Guan's words, he was not very angry. Instead, he looked at Cheng Guan carefully and then said, "Looking at you, you should be an official. Since you are an official, you should know that there is nothing in this world that can compare to an official." things are more important."
"What's going on with the official family?" Cheng Guan frowned.
"There was an evil spirit in the womb a few days ago, causing several palace maids and eunuchs to disappear. Not long ago, Ning Jieyu also suffered from a strange disease and has been bedridden. After seeing it, the imperial doctor prescribed several medicines, but none of them had any effect. I just I just went to catch that evil spirit on Master’s orders.”
As Shuhua said, he bowed to Zhu Jie who was in charge of the case, "The common people are lucky to have lived up to their fate and have found the culprit of all this."
Zhu Jie was shocked when he heard this, "What, is there really something evil in the palace?"
You must know that this is a royal palace. In addition to his official family, there are many noble people living in it. Wherever there are people, there will be fights. There will never be a shortage of various palace secrets. It is really common for a few eunuchs and maids to be missing.
Only Ning Jieyu's matter concerned Zhu Jie, but he actually didn't think too much about it. After all, there was Si Tianjian in the capital. Although Zhu Jie was dissatisfied with Si Tianjian's attitude towards him, he still felt sorry for Si Tianjian's attitude towards him. His ability is quite recognized. If there really is something evil at work, it probably won't be hidden from Si Tianjian's eyes.
Unexpectedly, the third disciple of Master Dongxuan actually caught an evil spirit from the palace.
As if he could see what Zhu Jie was thinking, Shuhua added, "Does the official want to see that evil spirit?"
"Is this... still possible to see?" Zhu Jie was hesitant. He thought he was very courageous, but he still felt a little uneasy when facing the legendary evil spirits.
But when he took a look at the calligraphy and painting standing with a smile on his face, and then looked at Master Dongxuan next to him, and even Si Tianjian and others, he felt confident again.
That's right, it's rare to see so many masters here tonight, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
Thinking of this, Zhu Jie nodded and said, "Okay, let me see which blind evil spirit dares to run into my palace."
Hearing this, Shuhua shook his head, "This evil spirit didn't come in from outside."
However, after saying this, he stopped explaining. He reached out and took out a scroll from the painting basket behind his back, put it in his hand and slowly unfolded it.
What I saw in the painting was a baby, but it was not as innocent as ordinary babies. His little face was covered with ferocious veins, his tongue was hanging out of his mouth, and his umbilical cord was dragging on the ground.
But the most terrifying thing was his eyes, which seemed to contain all the malice in the world. Coupled with the festering skin all over his body, it really penetrated as many people as possible.
Zhu Jie took a breath of cold air, glanced at it and quickly looked away, and then said to the calligraphy and painting, "This... what on earth is this?"
"The resentful baby. It is the most sinister thing in the world. Only a baby that dies tragically with its mother the moment before it is born into the world can turn into such an evil spirit. Its chest is full of unwillingness and resentment. It usually looks for someone to hide during the day. They rest wherever people go, and then come out to look for food at night.”
The calligraphy and painting explained, "It will jump out from the darkness and attack the unlucky person who is alone. It will first open the person's skull and suck out the brain marrow, then start from the right foot and eat it until it swallows the whole person into its stomach. Not even a piece of fingernail is left. Oh, by the way..."
Shu Hua seemed to have thought of something and added, "It will also keep an eye on pregnant women and use their bellies to give birth to another resentful baby."
"What?!" Zhu Jie was shocked, "Then Ning Jieyu..."
Shuhua shook his head, "The resentful baby has sent his resentment into Ning Jieyu's belly, and there is nothing the common people can do."
"How could this happen?" Zhu Jie was stunned. "The Xian family means... that the child can't be saved? Is there no other way?"
"No," Shuhua seemed to find it a bit difficult to say, but after a moment he still said truthfully, "Not only the children, but also the adults may not be able to survive."
"What's the meaning?"
"Resentment has entered the body and cannot be cured by medicine or stone. The longer it is delayed, the worse the illness will become. I hope the officials can make plans early."
When Zhu Jie heard this, he felt his heart was numb.
Ning Jieyu was not only his favorite concubine, but she also came from a general in the northwest. The main reason why Zhu Jie married her two years ago was to stabilize the warriors in the three northwest states.
Of course, in normal times, Zhu Jie would not be unable to bear the negative consequences of Ning Jieyu's death. The worst he could do would be to ask the generals to send another daughter over, but right now the world is in turmoil.
At this critical juncture, if something goes wrong in the three northwest continents, it will have a huge impact on the Chen Dynasty.
Zhu Jie took a few deep breaths, trying to calm down his emotions, and then said to Shuhua, "Xianjia, forget about the child, is it really impossible for the adults to save him?
"Well, it's not completely impossible." Shu Hua's words gave Zhu Jie a glimmer of hope. "There is only one way to get rid of the resentment in Ning Jieyu's body, which is to first resolve the resentment in Yin Ying's body. As long as Yin Ying can rest in peace, , then Ning Jieyu and even the child in her belly can recover without medicine."
"How to resolve the grievances of the resentful infant?" Zhu Jie was shocked after hearing this.
"It's very simple. Just find the murderer who killed their mother and son, and give that person to it to eat."
This thing sounds a bit cruel, but it is not unacceptable to Zhu Jie.
So he nodded without hesitating for too long, "Then let's do this. According to the immortal, the reason why this thing became like this was because it was harmed by others. In this case, I... I will help him avenge it. This hatred."
Zhu Jie also blushed a little at the end. His decision was tantamount to sacrificing one person to save Ning Jieyu and her son. It didn't look like the work of a wise king.
Hearing this, the calligrapher and painter praised, "Official sages, since this is the case, I will release the evil spirit."
"Are you here?" When things came to a close, Zhu Jie began to look forward and backward again.
"It's okay, I just asked it a few questions." Shuhua comforted him.
Then with a flick of his wrist, the ugly monster jumped out of the painting.
As soon as the resentful baby landed on the ground, it rushed towards the direction of Zhu Jie! The latter was so startled that he almost kicked over the desk in front of him.
Fortunately, Master Dongxuan took action in time. With a flick of his finger, the monster screamed and flew backwards, then fell back to the ground.
Shuhua shouted, "Don't struggle in vain anymore. With so many masters here today, you will definitely not be able to harm anyone anymore. Why don't you tell us honestly who actually harmed you."
"You want to know how I became like this?" The resentful baby opened its mouth, its voice was as sharp as a needle, and it also contained a cry, which made people feel particularly uncomfortable when it penetrated into the ears.
"Ask him. Ask his father how he harmed my mother and me and took away the throne that should belong to me."
