The real daughter is reborn, I will no longer be this evil stepmother

Emperor Jing couldn't help but take a deep breath.

"If I catch these evil people, I will definitely let them kill the nine tribes and skin them!"

This is simply audacious and an unpardonable crime.

Then, Emperor Jing looked around again.

There are chains hanging around the corners of the basement, and a woman is locked on each chain.

Four in total.

The four women look like they were sacrificed, with chains on each of their legs leading to the altar.

In other words, the woman's hands were trapped in the corner, her legs were pulled by the long iron chains of the altar, the woman was wearing very little, and strange runes were painted on the exposed areas.

"What happened to them?" Emperor Jing asked.

The people who were with Liu Yun were not only the dark-clothed guards and the Royal Forest Army, but also Xu Guoshi and others.

Originally, the matter of chasing the murderer and solving the case was not under Xu Guoshi's control.

But there's some evil magic involved here.

Therefore, Xu Guoshi was also present.

Xu Guoshi replied, "Your Majesty, these should be found by the evildoers behind the scenes. Some women whose horoscopes match His Highness the Crown Prince are used for sacrifice!"

Emperor Jing frowned.

"They even know the prince's horoscope?"

Xu Guoshi replied, "It should be, otherwise, we wouldn't have held this sacrifice..."

"Are they all dead or alive? Have they been interrogated?" Emperor Jing asked again.

At this time, Liu Yun answered, "Qinghuafang has been investigated and punished for several days. These women were left unattended and all starved to death. There was only one who was still breathing. She had just been fed some medicinal soup. I don’t know if she can survive, so I haven’t touched her yet. Xu Guoshi said that the subordinates of the altar cannot touch her casually, for fear of doing harm to His Highness the Crown Prince.”

Emperor Jing's face turned dark, "What should I say?"

"Your Majesty, you are the True Dragon Emperor, and the things on the altar are suspected to belong to His Highness the Crown Prince. If we tamper with them casually, it may affect His Highness the Crown Prince's condition. You have to do it yourself. You can take these items off the altar yourself. It can undo the curse and bless His Highness the Crown Prince with blessings. You have the spirit of a true dragon and all the filthy things will dissipate."

Xu Guoshi explained patiently.

Eunuch Shi gave a bold shout, "The emperor has to come here for such a trivial matter. What do you do to eat?"

Emperor Jing raised his hand and stopped Eunuch Shi.

"I'm already here, let me do it! I'll personally remove the curse for the prince. I hope the prince can get well soon."

This is also his love for his son as a father.

Emperor Jing stepped forward and put on his gloves at Xu Guoshi's signal.

Then, he took down the items that were suspected to belong to His Royal Highness from the altar.

Nothing unusual occurred.

This dark and cold basement, with only the light of torches, seemed strange and depressing.

"Okay, Your Majesty. This ritual is broken, let us do the rest."

Emperor Jing stepped aside.

When he took those items just now, he felt cold even with his gloves on. Eunuch Shi took off his gloves and asked someone to bring him hot water to clean his hands.

there,

Xu Guoshi and others began to dismantle the altar.

While dismantling it, he also read scriptures and the like.

Collect all items, load them together, and destroy them.

The soldiers were also asked to forcibly cut off the chains on the women who were tied at the four corners.

Suddenly, a squeaking sound suddenly sounded.

Everyone looked over.

"Your Majesty, the sacrificial girl who just drank the decoction seems to have come back to life."

The other three had starved to death.

Describe horror.

That one came alive.

Emperor Jing said in a deep voice, "Pull me over here to see if you can ask me anything."

Liuyun quickly went over and brought the person over.

The woman was slender, dying of hunger, with a sallow complexion and a pointed chin. She was very pitiful.

She had indeed woken up, her eyes were half-closed, and her mouth was so dry that it was bleeding.

"Help me, help...give me something to eat...I'm so hungry...help me..."

Seeing her helpless and confused look, Emperor Jing felt inexplicably heartbroken.

"Let's find a doctor to revive her first. This girl doesn't look big, so she should be a victim as well."

"Yes."

The imperial guards took her down.

Emperor Jing said a few words to Xu Guoshi and others.

He hurried back to the palace.

Go and see if the prince is getting better?

As a result, when he returned to the East Palace, His Royal Highness was still as usual.

Stupid, violent.

When he saw Emperor Jing, he threw a pillow at him, "I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death!"

Emperor Jing turned around and said sternly,

"Xu Guoshi, didn't you say that the altar was dissolved? How come His Highness the Crown Prince is still like this?"

He even took a risk for the prince and went on stage to resolve it himself.

Xu Guoshi said tremblingly, "Maybe the altar was resolved too late. His Highness the Crown Prince has to recover slowly and cannot wake up all at once. Your Majesty, please calm down."

Seeing Emperor Jing, his eyes were still stern and angry.

Xu Shishi hurriedly said, "Wei Chen will go back and open an altar now to try to avert the disaster for the prince! Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Eunuch Shi also advised softly from the side, "Your Majesty, please calm down first. Your Highness is like this. Everyone wants His Highness to get well soon. Xu Guoshi is well-informed. Give him another chance. At this time, no matter whether it is the Imperial Physician Whether they or Xu Guoshi, they are all needed when they are needed..."

Xu Guoshi looked at Eunuch Shi gratefully.

Emperor Jing is not that foolish king.

He was so anxious that he wanted to kill someone.

"What are you still doing here? Do you still want me to treat you to dinner? If you can't be cured, you and the people from Taiyuan Hospital will go to prison together!"

Xu Guoshi left in disgrace.

Emperor Jing suddenly fell from hope to despair.

Let out a long sigh.

His prince...

"Has Liao Shiyu come back? Go to the hidden guards to urge you!"

"Yes!"

***

The inside and outside of the cave where Sima Ji retreated was unknowingly covered with a layer of frost.

The temperature on the top of the mountain was extremely low, and the trees on the top of the mountain were frozen to death.

If there is sun during the day, it will snow at night.

Forcibly turning an ordinary mountain forest into a snow-capped mountain.

Of course, there is only snow on the top of the mountain, but below the mountainside, the temperature is still normal.

Fortunately, this area is deep in the mountains and no one saw it.

Otherwise, I would have thought there were some gods and monsters here.

However, occasionally hunters would pass by, and when they saw something strange like this, they would always go around the mountain.

The little animals on this mountain also ran away and found other mountains.

Don't dare to stay here.

***

In the Warring States Duke's Mansion.

The old lady has not left the house since she came back from the palace and learned about the prince.

There was nothing she could do to help. The situation in the capital made her feel like a storm was coming.

This feeling is extremely bad.

Madam Jean also went out less often.

"Old lady, we have prepared the betrothal gift list. Should we send it to the palace or send it later?"

The eldest lady is not sure either.

With such a thing happening in the palace, the emperor and the empress are probably not in the mood to talk about Emperor Mingde's marriage anymore.

But if they don't give it away, if they are investigated later, they will say that they have lost etiquette.
