Grandma Song's room is very simple, with a table, two chairs, a bed and a cabinet, and nothing else.
"You guys open the cabinet and help Sister Song check it out."
Jiang Wanning didn't do anything and asked the maid to check.
The maid opened the cabinet, and Jiang Wanning saw several jars placed in the cabinet, and joked: "You, Granny Song, are so weird. You actually hide the jars in the cabinet. We Daqi people don't have this habit."
The maid's face changed slightly, as if she was afraid of those jars. She checked the clothes on the upper floor and said nothing was missing.
"Don't you take a look at the jar? In case Granny Song hides something valuable in the jar."
The maid said: "No, Grandma Song told her not to touch her jar."
"Mama Song attaches so much importance to these jars, so we should check them carefully. If I were a thief and saw jars in the cabinet, I would definitely pay close attention to them. I'm curious!"
Jiang Wan Ning said, going up to move the jar.
"Don't move, my lord, don't move." The maid turned pale with fear.
Jiang Wan Ning didn't take it seriously, opened the jar, and a red snake jumped out.
The maid screamed in fright and ran out.
Jiang Wan Ning pinched the seven inches of the snake with her fingers. The snake squirmed in her hand and spit out the letter at her, flashing its fangs.
It was a snake about a foot long, covered in red, with three faint purple stripes on its back.
She had never seen such a strange venomous snake.
Just then a group of people broke in.
The leader is Uncle Ning.
Jiang Wanning pretended to be scared, threw the snake to the ground with a flick of her hand, and wanted to step on it with her feet.
Uncle Ning pulled him away.
Uncle Ning was furious: "Who told you to touch this jar?"
Uncle Ning caught the snake and carefully put it back into the jar.
Jiang Wan Ning saw that Uncle Ning was sweating on his forehead.
So nervous about this snake.
Gu Zhouting was only worried about whether Jiang Wanning had been bitten.
This snake looks very venomous. Perhaps, this is what Jiang Wan Ning is looking for.
"Uncle Emperor, why did you bring a snake? Without telling me in advance, one of my men was almost bitten." Gu Zhouting struck preemptively.
He and the emperor's uncle were talking in the living room just now. Someone from the mission came over and said something in the ear of the emperor. Ning's uncle was shocked, got up and left, and he followed.
Uncle Ning Huang said angrily: "This is our mascot. If it is broken, your men will not be able to afford to pay for it."
Jiang Wanning said: "It's my fault. It was the maid who said this is the residence of the nun who serves the Seventh Princess. I was afraid that something would be stolen, so I came over to take a look. I saw this jar hidden in the closet and thought it contained valuables." Something, so..."
Gu Zhou stopped and said: "You are right. If you find something missing here later, we will be accused of not checking carefully."
Uncle Ning Huang groaned and said: "There is nothing to investigate here, go and investigate elsewhere."
Everyone left the post house after pretending to investigate and inquire.
When I came out, I met Tudor, the sixth prince who lived in the inn next door.
"What's going on?" Tudor asked curiously.
Gu Zhouting bowed his hands and said, "Last night, thieves broke into the residence of the Dashu envoy and a lot of things were lost. The Sixth Prince also needs to strengthen his guard. Hey, if it is guarded by our guards from Daqi, he will never do it. This happens."
Uncle Ning's face turned even darker. It was clear that the public order in Daqi was in chaos, but Mr. Gu instead put all the blame on them, saying that they were not good at protecting themselves.
Tudor was astonished: "Such a thing happened. I thought that Daqi's laws were strict and people would not pick up lost items on the road."
Gu Zhouting said calmly: "It is true that people in Daqi will not steal from their own people. People in Daqi have clear grudges."
Who made the two of you have ulterior motives for Daqi?
Tudor:……
Uncle Ning Huang:...
After getting on the carriage, Gu Zhou stopped and asked, "Found it?"
"Found it. If my inference is correct, this nanny Song is a master of cultivating voodoos. The voodoo technique of the Great Shu Kingdom has always been mysterious. It can poison people unknowingly. The only way to undo the voodoo is to master the voodoo cultivation. in the hands of others."
"So, you suspected before that the emperor was bewitched?"
"Well, Qiu He said, the emperor had dinner at Fengzao Palace the night before he fell ill, and the seventh princess was also there. Later, I saw the seventh princess in the imperial garden. She was accompanied by a nanny in her forties. , I felt strange. I read the information about the Seventh Princess yesterday. She left the palace at the age of nine and returned to the palace seven years later. Where did she go during this period? "
"Today's search revealed that the Seventh Princess brought four personal maids and none of them followed her into the palace. However, Grandma Song who was brought with her lived in the most remote courtyard of the post house. There was also a strange snake hidden in the cabinet. , I guess those other jars also contain poisonous insects. These poisonous insects are used to raise poisonous insects."
"So, our urgent priority now is to find a way to cure the poison."
Gu Zhouting had also heard a little bit about the poisonous arts of Shu. This secret technique was mysterious and terrifying. Once infected, it was difficult to be cured by ordinary medical skills, so the person who cast the poison could only solve it.
Jiang Wan Ning said: "I want to go to the palace again."
"I'll go with you."
The two discussed along the way that it was too risky for Da Shu to do this. Once exposed, Emperor Ning and the Seventh Princess would never think of leaving Da Qi, and war between the two countries was about to break out.
Perhaps, they were sure that no one in Daqi would be able to see through their conspiracy!
After entering the palace, the two of them first went to find His Highness Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan said: "You came just in time. I was just going to find you. Wan Ning, I have checked everything you asked me to check."
Xiao Yan handed over a booklet, which recorded in detail the places the emperor had been to in the past few days, the people he had met, and what he had eaten. "
After reading it, Jiang Wanning changed hands to Gu Zhouting.
Jiang Wan Ning said: "I probably already know the cause of the emperor's illness."
Xiao Yan was stunned. He just looked at her and found out the cause? Why didn't he, the investigator, see any problems?
Is this the difference between people?
"what reason?"
"Bewitched."
"Gu?" Xiao Yan was confused.
"This is a secret technique of Shu. The process of making poison is very mysterious and complicated. The poison maker can insert the poison into the opponent's body silently. The poison maker can control the poison to achieve the purpose of harming people. .So many people who have been poisoned will die from various strange diseases, and the cause of the disease cannot be found." Jiang Wanning briefly introduced the voodoo technique.
Xiao Yan's face turned pale: "Really...are you sure? What should I do?"
This Gu sounds very powerful. Can Father be saved?
Gu Zhou stopped and said: "We just came back from the post house where the Dashu envoy stayed. Last night I had people steal a few things. Today, I went to investigate the case and searched their residence and found a weird venomous snake. , the person who caused the poison can basically be determined."
Xiao Yan immediately thought: "Is it the seventh princess?"
"Maybe it's the nanny next to her. Both of them are suspicious." Jiang Wanning said.
