Li Zhi, don't be a coward

Chapter 390
"Winning of disgust" is an ancient witchcraft. As the name suggests, it is a spell that uses curses and spellcasting to defeat the hated person.

The process of this spell has a standard version and a deluxe version.

The mahogany plaques and jade plaques worn by people on weekdays, as well as the villains with needles in horror movies and villains with soles, etc., all belong to the technique of disgusting victory.

As for the deluxe version, the process is more cumbersome, requiring Taoist priests to open the altar, recite spells and draw amulets, and a series of processes.

You get what you pay for, and of course the deluxe version has a more powerful anti-win effect, pointing at where to hit and glaring at who is pregnant.

However, the technique of disgusting victory is essentially a curse technique. No matter whether it is effective or not, as long as it is implemented, it is a very taboo thing, especially in the palace, it is no different from conspiracy to rebel. No matter how merciful the emperor is, he will definitely not let this matter go.

An inexplicable letter of advice was thrown under the corridor outside the Taiji Palace. When the trembling eunuch handed it to Li Zhi, the whole Taiji Palace boiled.

Li Zhi was furious, so angry that he almost fainted again. After trying to suppress the anger, he immediately ordered to investigate.

After an hour of incense sticks, the imperial guards of Yulin in the palace captured Fan Yunxian and Guo Xingzhen who were involved in the case.

The matter is not over, these two people are the executors, what Li Zhi is looking for is the mastermind behind the scenes.

Habayashi Wei, who received clear instructions, immediately took down all the palace officials who had intersected with Fan Yunxian and Guo Xingzhen, regardless of gender, in Dasuo Palace.

Early in the morning, the Taiji Palace was overcast, and Li Zhi even ordered the court meeting to be stopped that day, and sat in the palace with a pale face waiting for the final interrogation result.

Empress Wu didn't know about the great changes in the palace until the morning, and hurried from the harem to Anren Hall.

As soon as he entered the palace gate, he saw Li Zhi sitting at the head with a sullen expression, staring at her with cold eyes.

Empress Wu trembled in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, what happened? Why did you ask Fan Yunxian and many palace people?"

Li Zhi didn't speak, but still stared at her coldly.

After a long time, Li Zhi handed over the letter of remonstrance, Empress Wu took it and glanced at it hastily, her face paled immediately, and she plopped down on her knees.

"Your Majesty, the concubine never participated in this matter, the concubine swears to God!"

Li Zhi said coldly: "Fan Yunxian next to you has been involved in something, don't you know anything about it?"

Empress Wu's eyelids twitched.

This is her biggest crisis since she was conferred the title of empress. Even when she was fighting with the queen, her situation was not as dangerous as it is now.

In the forbidden area of ​​the palace, to practice witchcraft without authorization, especially when the target of the witchcraft is still the present day, this is already a real conspiracy.

Fan Yunxian, who was beside Empress Wu, was questioned. She didn't know whether Li Zhi had the evidence, but she knew better that if she made a slight mistake in the imperial court today, she would end up in eternal doom.

This matter has touched the emperor's scales.He will not let anyone involved in the case be spared.

When Li Zhi was able to abolish the king and empress, would he still mind abolishing another Empress Wu?

"There are no concubines! Really not!" Empress Wu said with tears streaming down her face, she didn't know whether she was frightened or wronged.

Li Zhi was noncommittal, his face still gloomy.

This incident is not only a major palace case, but also a marital crisis for the couple.

If it is finally found that she is involved with Empress Wu, Li Zhi will abolish her no matter what.

It is acceptable for husband and wife to have different dreams in the same bed, but if the person next to the pillow is still thinking of murdering their own husband, who can sleep?

I can't even wash it.

"An anonymous remonstrance with a few words and no evidence. Your Majesty would rather believe it than the relationship between you and your concubine for many years? Your Majesty, it is clear that someone wants to separate you and me!" Empress Wu cried bitterly. road.

Li Zhi's expression slowed down a little. He is a person who values ​​feelings after all. Although since he was ill and Wu's son's criticism was sparse, there have been more or less frictions and intrigues between the husband and wife, but in general, he and her are still husband and wife. , is a family.

After hesitating for a long time, Li Zhicai said in a deep voice: "I...in fact, I don't believe this letter of remonstrance, but I must investigate the matter of the letter of remonstrance. I can't pretend to be deaf because of such a bad thing happened on the side of my bed. "

Empress Wu lowered her head and wept, "I really don't know how to prove my innocence..."

Li Zhiqiang said with a smile: "Just now I was very angry, and my tone was a little irritable. Don't blame the empress. I believe you are innocent. Whether Fan Yunxian was involved in the case will be discussed after I have verified it."

With a sudden murderous intent in his eyes, Li Zhi said slowly: "No matter who is involved in the case, I will punish severely. I want to be a benevolent king, but if others deceive people too much, I will teach them that a benevolent king can also kill."

Empress Wu trembled, and said in a low voice: "Yes, the concubine will also prove her innocence."

Li Zhi suddenly smiled, and said: "Fan Yunxian has served the queen for many years, do you think he has the guts to do anything in the palace and curse me?"

Empress Wu's eyelids twitched, this sentence was difficult to answer.

If it is finally found out that Fan Yunxian is really involved in the case, wouldn't she be putting herself in it by defending Fan Yunxian now?

But at this moment, it would be even more inappropriate to say that Fan Yunxian had bad intentions and showed signs of dissatisfaction with the emperor.There have been signs that you haven't dealt with him for a long time, which is clearly harboring evil intentions.

Nor is it left, nor is it right. For the first time, Empress Wu found it so difficult to answer a question.

Seeing Empress Wu's struggling expression, Li Zhi was silent for a moment, and then smiled: "Forget it, maybe the empress doesn't know about this person's allegiance, so let's wait for the final result."

After Empress Wu retreated tremblingly, a cold breeze blew past inexplicably in the empty hall.

Li Zhi sat alone in the hall, eyes half closed, brows furrowed.

After a long time, Li Zhi let out a long sigh, and raised his voice towards the palace gate: "Xuan Xu Jingzong, Shangguanyi will see you."

After a pause, a familiar face appeared in Li Zhi's mind, so he added: "Xuan Li Qinzai has an audience."

After exiting the main hall, Empress Wu tremblingly left from the gate of the hall, and after disappearing from Li Zhi's sight, Empress Wu suddenly straightened her body and restored her graceful demeanor.

Looking sideways at a court lady who was following her step by step, Empress Wu said coldly: "Leave the palace quickly and send a letter to Li Yifu, asking him to find a way to see Fan Yunxian and Guo Xingzhen who are imprisoned. I want to know the truth. Fan Yunxian and Guo Xingzhen Is it true that in the name of my palace, I practice the technique of disgusting victory?"

The maid hurriedly agreed.

Looking at the back of the palace lady going away, a trace of fear flashed in Empress Wu's eyes.

Yes, this time, the unassuming Empress Wu was also scared.

The art of disgusting victory has been notorious since ancient times, and it is an unforgivable crime.

In the palaces of all dynasties, if an alchemist practiced witchcraft and became disgusted with victory, it must be a major event involving millions of corpses and bloodshed for thousands of miles.

Empress Wu was afraid that she would become a victim of this big case.

Until now, she still didn't know whether Fan Yunxian was really involved in the case, let alone imagined whether Fan Yunxian would bite her out after being imprisoned.

After all, if under the control of someone with a heart, Fan Yunxian will be tortured with a few instruments of torture, and everything she has in this life will be destroyed.
