Strange love across time and space
Chapter 196: Named Princess
King Jin was also very happy to see the corn and potatoes brought by Su Qing! In the afternoon, he took Su Qing to the palace and told the emperor about the matter.
While the emperor was eating boiled corn and shredded potatoes, he kept nodding and praising him.
"Ning'an! You have done meritorious service again! Moreover, this time you are not doing meritorious deeds for leaving get off work! This is a great meritorious service that benefits the country and the people and can save the people from dire straits!"
Su Qing smiled sheepishly
"Your Majesty's words are serious, this is what a minister should do!"
The emperor was even more happy to see Su Qing being so humble, and immediately asked Eunuch Xi to draw up a decree and make Su Qing the Princess of Ning'an! Give the princess a palace, a thousand taels of gold, and countless jewels!
He also sent some people to the Zhuangzi of Su Qing and King Jin to collect the mature corns and potatoes and save them for seeds.
Su Qing wrote down the planting methods of these two crops and gave them to the emperor, and told the emperor that it was best to plant them in barren areas first. The emperor praised Su Qing for her thoughtfulness!
The Su family's fortunes increased because Su Qing was made the princess, and the Jiang family was also made a first-class royal wife by the emperor. There is an endless stream of people coming to the door every day to curry favor.
The days passed, and autumn arrived in the blink of an eye. That night, Su Qing sat in the yard, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and asked
"Phantom, is there any news from the palace?"
"The emperor's health is not as good as before."
"What? Taoist Yixin's elixir doesn't work?"
"Hmph, Taoist Master Yixin only put the blame on the dead queen and Zhao Linye in the prison, saying that the poison they administered was too deep and the elixir no longer works!"
"Have you found Mozhu?"
"I went to the wooden house several times, but every time I went, Maozhu seemed to know it in advance, and always failed."
"It seems that he knew he couldn't defeat you and was afraid that you would kill him, so he ran away. But how did he know in advance that you were going?"
Phantom shook his head
"Maybe he practiced some evil magic with Taoist Yixin."
"By the way, what is Prince Jin busy with recently?"
"During this period, there were frequent cases of corpse theft in and around the capital. Dali Temple was helpless, so the emperor asked King Jin to assist in the investigation."
"The body was stolen..." Su Qing muttered and repeated, thinking of the scene she saw in the movie of her previous life. I couldn't help but sit up straight and look at the phantom
"Phantom, tell me, is it possible that the theft of those corpses has something to do with Maozhu?"
"Why do you say this, Qingqing?"
"Some evil arts require these. I'm just guessing. You can follow this to check."
Phantom nodded. Although he had doubts, he just felt that he should believe Su Qing's words.
A few days later, Phantom excitedly told Su Qing
"Qingqing, your guess may be right. Most of the corpses were stolen just after they were buried. Therefore, in the past few days, I saw a family doing funerals, so I put a cane on the corpse's clothes. There, at night, the body was indeed stolen. I looked for the rattan and found that I had entered a palace in the palace! But there was a barrier there. If I went in, I would definitely be discovered. Currently, I can set a barrier The only person in the world, besides me, is Maozhu! It seems that they are really practicing evil arts!"
Su Qing couldn't help but feel a chill on her back
"Hurry up and tell Prince Jin this news! It is convenient for him to enter and leave the palace, and besides, he is ordered by the emperor to investigate the matter, so it is justifiable! Maybe he can discover a shocking secret!"
Phantom immediately went to Prince Jin's Mansion.
After King Jin received the news from Su Qing, he immediately led a group of officers and soldiers to the palace where Taoist Master Yixin was located. Taoist Yixin saw King Jin bringing people over and had no time to deal with the things in his hands. He was so frightened that he almost fell down!
When King Jin saw him like this, he sneered in his heart and immediately asked people to search the palace! Taoist Yixin wanted to stop him, but was pushed aside by King Jin's people.
After a while, several officers and soldiers came over with several black cloth bags. Some people covered their noses, and some were holding back their nausea. When the contents of the bags were poured out, everyone was shocked. Only a few people were seen. Burnt and blackened human bones were scattered on the ground. A leading officer and soldier raised his hands and said to the King of Jin
"Your Highness, there are still human skulls in the alchemy furnace inside! I dare not take them..."
After hearing this, King Jin glanced at Qianfeng, who immediately entered the room, and then came out carrying the skulls of two people with a stick.
When King Jin saw it, he immediately had Taoist Yixin tied up and sent to the emperor along with the human bones!
The emperor was angry and shocked when he saw it! Directly let people torture Daoist Yixin! Taoist Yixin couldn't bear the punishment, so he had to tell the truth.
Taoist priest Yi Xin's confession stated that the purpose of stealing corpses was to refine elixirs for the emperor. The elixirs refined from corpses can make people's body stronger and stronger, and they will not be discovered by the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital, which is even more powerful. What's more, it can also control people's minds. And all this was ordered by King Rui and Concubine Shu.
After hearing this, the emperor immediately felt his stomach churn. Seeing the emperor's appearance, the happy father-in-law immediately brought a spittoon. The emperor retched several times, but he did not spit it out. Feeling annoyed, he immediately ordered people to arrest King Rui and Concubine Shu!
When King Rui and Concubine Shu were taken to the imperial study, they saw Taoist Isshin lying on the ground, covered in blood, and immediately knew that he was finished! The emperor didn't waste much effort in getting Prince Rui and Concubine Shu to explain everything.
It turned out that Taoist Yixin was from King Rui from beginning to end. It was King Rui who deliberately revealed the elixir in front of Zhao Linye and lured Zhao Linye to find Taoist Yixin to refine the poisonous elixir for the emperor. Use this matter to bring down the Queen and Zhao Linye. Then let Taoist Yixin refine the elixir that can control people's hearts, hoping that the emperor will listen to him and pass the throne to King Rui.
The conspiracy between Concubine Shu and Prince Rui was so vicious that the emperor vomited a mouthful of black blood on the spot and fainted. Eunuch Xi quickly asked someone to lift the emperor to the bed, and called the imperial doctor. Seeing this situation, King Jin immediately had King Rui and Concubine Shu put into prison first, and waited for the emperor to wake up before making a decision.
On the roof of the imperial study room, a white vine flower floated up and headed towards Su Mansion.
Su Qing frowned when she heard what Phantom said about what happened in the palace.
"Taoist Yixin really didn't mention anything about Mozhu?"
"Well, I guess I want to keep Maozhu to save him!"
"Why do I think those corpses are not used to refine elixirs? They must be for Mao Zhu! Otherwise, the emperor alone cannot use so many corpses!"
Phantom nodded, "I think so too. There is still some human aura left in the body of a freshly deceased body. It is estimated that Daoist Yixin extracted these auras and let Maozhu absorb them to quickly increase spiritual power."
After hearing this, Su Qing looked at Phantom with complicated eyes and asked
"Maozhu's method of increasing spiritual power is the same as when you killed the same kind and then sucked their spiritual power for your own use. Does it have the same effect?"
