Watching the night with Tang Wu, he also lay down on the king's couch, hugged Wu Jiu, and was also ready to rest.

It was already midnight, and Wu Jiu was about to fall asleep as soon as he touched the couch, leaning on Qihou's arms in a daze, but at this moment, he suddenly heard the scream of "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh——" It was a woman's voice , with a sharp voice, suddenly shouted loudly for some reason.

Wu Jiao had just fallen asleep, and when he was yelled like this suddenly, he wanted to wake up suddenly, his eyes widened in surprise, and he said, "What's wrong?"

Qihou hadn't fallen asleep yet, so he quickly turned over and said, "I don't know, I'll go and have a look."

As he spoke, Wu Jiu got up quickly and said, "Let's go together."

After the sharp cry, it was followed by another cry: "Ahhh—help!!! Help—"

The voice was too sharp and hoarse, as if something was chasing her.

This sound alarmed many people, Wu Jiu and Qihou put on their clothes and came out, Ziqing and Tang Wu also ran out, everyone didn't know what happened, they hurried out of the small bedroom.

The sound was not at the entrance of the small bedroom, but because it was too loud, it came over. When they came out of the small bedroom, they saw many eunuchs and maids who were alarmed, as well as patrolling soldiers.

The screaming continued, and the screaming person was a court lady who was arrested by several soldiers and was about to be sent away.

Wu Jiu walked over and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?"

As soon as Wu Jiao appeared, everyone quickly saluted. When the arrested maid saw Wu Jiao, she immediately knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!! There are ghosts! There are ghosts! The body has moved!!"

Wu Jiao frowned, not only Wu Jiao didn't believe it, but others also didn't believe it, they all looked at the maid with surprise and contempt.

And the palace lady's face was pale, she kept trembling, trembling all the time, as if she wasn't lying at all, she was greatly stimulated.

Wu Jiu frowned and said, "What's going on?"

The maid hurriedly said: "Back, back to the king, it's like this... The servant girl was guarding the spirit of the late king in the palace, just now... I just went to add incense, and there were not many people in the palace. It was normal. The eunuch who was guarding the coffin together left because he wanted... to pay respects, and the servant girl was alone in the mourning hall, and as a result, at this time, the body of the late king moved! The hand of the late king moved!"

After listening to the servant girl's words, everyone immediately took a breath of air, because it was getting late and everything was quiet around, not even the sound of insects screaming, so when the maid suddenly said such words, everyone felt the hairs on their backs stand on end Yes, trembling with fright.

The maid continued: "The former king... the former king seems to be, knocking on the coffin, and still wanting to sit up! The servant girl is too scared, woo woo woo..."

The palace maid said, it didn't seem like she was lying, she covered her mouth and nose and began to cry, Ying couldn't make a sound.

Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes suspiciously, Xiong Pei has been dead for such a long time, how could he suddenly jump up in the middle of the night and knock on the coffin?But the court lady didn't look like she was lying either.

Wu Jiao observed the maid, she was crying, she was terrified, her whole body was trembling, because the screams were too loud, so Wu Jiao said: "Just go and see and you will know." .”

Wu Jiu was going to the mourning hall in the middle of the night, Qihou didn't want him to go, what if he really provoked something bad?But Wu Jiu had made up his mind, he didn't believe that Xiong Pei, who had been dead for so long, would jump up and knock on the coffin.

Everyone looked at you, because there were so many people, and there was a group of patrolling soldiers, so they plucked up their courage and followed Wu Jiao to the mourning hall.

When the eunuch who took over came back, he just heard the maid's shouting, so he was too scared to go back, hid outside, and ran over when he saw a mighty person coming, and knelt down on the ground with a "plop". On the ground, trembling with fright.

Wu Jiu asked the eunuch, "What unusual movement did you see just now?"

The eunuch hurriedly said: "Young minister, I didn't see the change, but when I came back, I heard the maid shouting, so I was frightened, so I didn't dare to go in, I just stood here and watched from a distance. "

Wu Jiu said again: "Is there any change after that?"

The eunuch shook his head and said: "No, no, back to the king, nothing happened, and no one entered or left the mourning hall."

Wu Jiu nodded and beckoned to lead the people in. The maid and the eunuch were terrified and did not dare to go in. The soldiers opened the way and walked in. The mourning hall was quiet and the candles were lit, but because the sky was too dark It was dark, and the hall was still very dark.

The coffin was docked in the middle of the mourning hall, with white decorations beside it, and the offerings were complete, and incense was burning on the case, so there was nothing unusual about it.

Everyone walked in slowly and listened intently. Apart from the sound of "tattling" footsteps in the mourning hall, there was no other sound, and there was absolutely no sound of knocking on the coffin.

Everyone walked in and listened carefully, but they didn't hear any sound of knocking on the coffin, so everyone relaxed, probably the maid herself was scaring herself.

Wu Jiao walked over and looked into the coffin with the lid open. Some embalming measures had been used for Xiong Pei's body, otherwise it would have rotted away in Master Luo, and it would be impossible to send it back. A burst of chill.

Xiong Pei's body was lying in the coffin in good condition, and there was no abnormality. He couldn't knock on the coffin, let alone sit up.

The eunuch who was on duty at night also said that there was no change. Everyone looked at the maid and thought that the maid was lying. It’s true that the maidservant added incense when it’s finished. Right after the incense was added, the maidservant stood here and heard the sound of ‘dongdong’, it was... coming from the coffin, really, It's true! It's true!"

The court lady told her experience in the mourning hall of King Xiongfei of Chu, everyone felt shuddering, their backs went numb, and Wu Jiao frowned, the more the maid spoke, the more excited she became, and everyone's faces turned ugly.

Wu Jiu waved his hand and said, "Take her down first, let the medical officer take a look."

The soldiers hurriedly took the maid down and let the medical officer go to check, Wu Jiu walked around again, Qi Hou followed behind him all the time, fearing that Wu Jiao might be in danger.

However, nothing happened in the mourning hall, everything was quiet, as if it was normal.

Wu Jiu frowned and said, "That's all for today."

When everyone heard this, they quickly said, "Yes, my king!"

After Wu Jiu finished speaking, he ordered the eunuch to continue the night watch, left a team of soldiers to guard the door, and took Qihou away.

The two returned to the small bedroom, Qi Hou frowned and said: "Second brother rest first, and find someone to interrogate the palace lady tomorrow morning. I am afraid that someone is restless. I want to use the matter of Xiong Pei's death to find the second brother." Brother's bad luck."

Wu Jiu also didn't believe that Xiong Pei would jump up to cheat his corpse, so he agreed with Qi Hou that there might be someone who was restless and wanted to shake Wu Jiu's position through such superstitious things.

After all, the burial of the former king is a major event, and if the former king "died with peace in his eyes", it would be even more important among major events.

An hour later, there was no more screaming, so Wu Jiao slowly relaxed, lay down to rest, and within two hours it was dawn, Wu Jiao was not at ease, so he got up early, ready to borrow Worship the name of the head, and then look around.

Seeing that he got up so early, Qi Hou had no choice but to ask Ziqing to get breakfast first, let Wu Jiao eat, and then accompany Wu Jiu to the mourning hall.

A group of people came to the mourning hall. There were many more soldiers at the door than yesterday. They were the soldiers left by Wu Jiao yesterday.

Wu Jiu walked over and said, "Did there be any changes last night?"

The leading soldier cupped his hands and said: "Go back to my king, there is no change, and no one comes in or out."

Wu Jiu nodded, and then walked in with Qihou. There was a doctor Qing who worshiped early in the morning, Wu Jiu walked in, everyone bowed and saluted, and nothing happened.

Because the entrance was closed last night, the only people who heard the maid shouting were some palace people and soldiers. Wu Jiu blocked the news in time, so the officials who came to worship had no idea what happened.

Wu Jiu stayed in the mourning hall for a while, and nothing suspicious happened, so he felt that there was something wrong with the maid.

The two left the mourning hall. The maid was detained in the side hall and guarded by soldiers. When Wu Jiu walked over, he heard the maid shouting from inside: "What the maid said is true! It's true! ah!"

Wu Jiu frowned, called for a medical officer, asked about the condition of the maid, the medical officer cupped his hands and said: "Go back to my king, the maid was just frightened, there is nothing wrong with her mind."

Wu Jiu nodded, sent the medical officer away, and led Qihou into the house. When the maid saw them, she was indeed insane. She knelt down to salute, kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty! This maid is not lying, and this maid What the son said is true! The servant girl did not scare me, it is...it is true!"

Wu Jiu asked the maid to talk about the specific situation. What the maid said was exactly the same as last night. She was the only one who heard the sound of the corpse knocking on the coffin, and it was not an auditory hallucination. I do not know where the problem lies.

The palace maid said: "My servant heard the truth, and it wasn't just one sound. At first, I thought I had heard it wrong, but later, later... the body of the late king jumped up and wanted to sit up from the coffin! Maid What I see is absolutely true! If there is half a lie, there will be a thunderbolt!"

The palace lady didn’t look like she was telling lies. Wu Jiao frowned, not knowing where the problem was, and wanted to go back to see the remains of King Chu Xionglai, but it was daytime and it was difficult to say anything, so I couldn’t see it now. You can only watch it at night.

Wu corrected his doubts, and heard the sound of "tapping", it turned out that Qu Wan ran over, hurriedly, and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something is wrong!"

Qu Wan came from the mourning hall. He was really afraid of something. Qu Wan said: "The body of the former king seems to have moved."

When he said this, the maid almost screamed again and fell to the ground, her face pale with fright.

Wu Jiu frowned, and said, "Take me to take a look."

This time, it wasn't just the maid who saw Xiong Pei's body moving, but under the watchful eyes of everyone, even though it was morning, there were quite a few people worshiping, including many officials and envoys.

Just now when Wu Jiu and Qihou left, Princess Mi also came, and Princess Mi also saw Xiong Pei's body moving, and the maids beside her, all of them could see clearly.

Wu Jiu walked into the mourning hall, and there was a great chaos inside, everyone was talking in disorder, Peng Yu, as Bu Yin, had already been in the mourning hall, and he was trying to appease the ministers.

I heard Peng Yu say: "Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient, be safe and don't be impatient!"

As soon as Wu Jiu came in, many people surrounded him and hurriedly greeted Wu Jiu, saying, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! The body of the former king has moved! It has moved!"

Wu Jiao was not there just now, and for some reason, Princess Mi turned pale, as if she was also frightened, and was supported by the palace maid, Wu Jiao trusted Princess Mi.

Princess Mi's voice was trembling, and she said: "Just now... just now Mi was paying homage to the king's father, and the king's father... He suddenly trembled, Mi thought he had misread it, but then trembled again, Immediately there was a 'da da da' sound, as if... knocking on the coffin!"

What Princess Mi said was actually very consistent with the court lady. Not only that, not only Princess Mi heard it, but also the ministers who worshiped next to her, and the eunuchs who served her. The mourning hall was very quiet except for crying. The strange sound was really ear-piercing, and the frequency was still very high, so everyone naturally quieted down and listened. After listening to it like this, they found that the sound came out of the coffin, and everyone was terrified.

Just when everyone was terrified, this matter even escalated, not only the body was knocking on the coffin, Princess Mi said tremblingly: "Mi also heard... and also heard laughter, it was the prince who was laughing, very... It was a strange laugh, like a grin."

Everyone also heard the grinning, because everyone was shocked at the time, held their breath, and was frightened. There was a moment of silence, and no one dared to speak, and finally heard the grinning "giggle", as if it was a toad Yelling, like a snarky grin, very weird.

In broad daylight, the corpse knocked on the coffin and laughed, everyone heard it, and it wasn't the maid who was bewitching people's hearts, who instantly frightened people into panic.

Peng Yu said at this time: "My lord, I am afraid that this is the late king warning everyone."

Wu Jiao squinted at Peng Yu, Wu Jiu thought that making him an official of Bu Yin, who had no real power, would make Peng Yu more honest, but who would have thought that Peng Yu could jump out and make trouble.

When everyone heard Peng Yu's voice, they all looked around, knowing that Peng Yu meant something else.

Peng Yu also said: "I am afraid that the former king passed away in another country, so he could not rest in peace, and this is why such chaos occurred."

Peng Yu is a Bu Yin, and everyone seems to be a professional. When Peng Yu said this, everyone seemed to remember that Xiong Fei, the king of Chu, died in Zhou State. Speaking of which, it was because he was a prisoner of Qi State that he became a "water and soil". Dissatisfied with his death, everyone couldn't help but focus on Qihou when they heard this.

Qihou is the king of the state of Qi, and now that the previous king is dying, everyone thinks it may be because the new king regards Qihou as a guest of honor.

Peng Yu made such a move, and everyone was somewhat dissatisfied with Qi Hou and Wu Jiu. Some people were worried about nothing to make trouble, and when they found an opportunity, they immediately responded, saying: "The former king passed away in a foreign land, and now there must be a knot in his heart!"

No one was talking in the mourning hall, but at this moment they were all whispering. Wu Jiao squinted his eyes and looked around the crowd. Princess Mi was standing close at that time, and her legs were weak from fright. Now she couldn't stand at all and was supported by someone. I don't know what to do.

Wu Jiu finally spoke, and said calmly: "Doctor Peng is Bu Yin, so according to what Doctor Peng wants, what should we do?"

Peng Yu was waiting for Wu Jiu's words, and immediately said sincerely: "Your Majesty is the younger brother of the late king, and he is also the new king of Chu. Now the late king cannot rest in peace, so the villain has the courage to beseech the majesty to guard the spirit of the late king for nine days."

When Wu Jiu heard Peng Yu's statement, he was a little suspicious. He didn't know what he was trying to sell. According to Wu Jiu's understanding of Peng Yu, Peng Yu should have said something more explicit. , It turned out to be a guardian?

Peng Yu also said: "Your Majesty is the new king of our Chu Kingdom, and the aura of Zhengyang is mellow. With His Majesty guarding the spirit of the former king, he will certainly be able to appease the former king."

When everyone heard this, those who wanted to take the opportunity to make trouble didn't expect Peng Yu to say that, they were all very surprised, and couldn't answer the conversation at all. I don't know when Peng Yu became so decent?Could it be that Bu Yin was appeased by Wu Jiu because of his official position?

Those who didn’t want to make trouble felt that it made sense when they heard what Peng Yu said. Wu Jiao, as Xiong Pei’s younger brother and the new king of Chu, it’s not difficult to guard Xiong Pei’s spirit for nine days. Not mean.

As a result, everyone began to agree with each other, while Peng Yu had a look of complacency on his face, trying to suppress it.

How could Wu Jiu fail to see his complacency, and felt that Peng Yu was responsible for the fraudulent corpse, and he must find out why, but now it is not easy to startle the snake, so he said: "What Doctor Peng said is exactly, The former king is the elder brother of the widow, and the eldest brother is like a father, so it is only natural to guard the spirit of the elder brother."

Wu Jiu agreed without hesitation, and Peng Yu thought he would have to spend more time talking, but he agreed, and Peng Yu was also very happy, and immediately cupped his hands and said, "Yes, the villain is now going to prepare for the king to guard the spirit of the late king."

Wu Jiu didn't refute, but nodded, and said in a serious tone: "Then there is Dr. Lau Peng, and this matter should be handed over to Dr. Peng, so that I can feel at ease."

After a few words of humility, Peng Yu withdrew to prepare for the wake.

Marquis Qi frowned, gave Wu Jiu a wink, and exited the mourning hall first. Wu Jiu comforted the ministers, and asked people to help the terrified Princess Mi to exit the mourning hall first, and then he came out later.

Wu Jiu walked a few steps and saw Qihou. Qihou was standing in the small pavilion in the garden. When he saw Wu Jiu walk in, he frowned and said, "Why did the second brother agree to Peng Yu's request? Yigu looks at this matter. Most likely it was Peng Yu's tricks, I don't know what kind of trap he is going to do."

Wu Jiu sneered and said, "What a coincidence, I think so too."

Qihou frowned and said: "The second elder brother still agrees, there must be danger."

Wu Jiu said: "Naturally I have to agree, otherwise how would I know what kind of medicine Peng Yu sells in this gourd?"

Wu Jiu paused for a moment and then said: "Peng Yu obviously came here for the king in today's incident. The court has long thought of opposing the king, but he dared not do anything to the king because of the power of the widow. Now this matter My son was told by Peng Yu, still in the name of the former king, and the king still..."

Qihou didn't even need him to finish his sentence, he knew that Wu Jiao wanted him to go back to Linzi City, so he immediately interrupted him, saying: "Second brother don't need to talk too much, he insists on staying alone. It's a troubled time now, and the second brother is right by his side. If you need someone, if you are alone, you can leave like this, and don't worry about the second brother."

Seeing that his tone was tough, Wu Jiao sighed, and there was nothing he could do about it, so he said, "Then these days, Jun Shangjiao stays in the small dormitory, try not to run around."

Qihou smiled and said, "Is the king of Chu going to support me?"

Wu Jiu also smiled, and said: "Let's go, go back first, wait a little later, I still want to see the dead body of the late king, if Peng Yu is playing tricks, how is this pretending to be a ghost?"

Qi Hou also nodded, and followed Wu Jiu to the small bedroom.

In one afternoon, the news of the late king's deceitful corpse and his unspeakable death spread instantly. This time, he couldn't suppress it even if he tried to suppress it. Not only the palace knew it, but also the officials, even the people in Yingdu City. I heard that everyone was gossiping, and they were suspicious for a while.

In the afternoon, Wu Jiu received a lot of papers, all of which were written by senior officials to persuade him, and most of them were to persuade him to open up relations with Qi.

Wu Jiao looked at those documents, feeling bad, sneered, and threw the documents on the case and ignored them.

Qihou walked in from the outside, just in time to see Wu Jiu losing his temper, so he walked over with a smile and said, "What's wrong, second brother?"

Wu Jiu picked up the document again, closed it and threw it aside, saying, "It's nothing."

Looking at his movements, Qi Hou knew that Wu Jiu definitely didn't want him to see the content of the document. He just took advantage of Wu Jiu's review of the document and wandered around outside, and heard a lot of gossip. Read the document to know what it is.

Qihou said with a smile: "It seems that the second brother, the king of Chu, is really working hard, and he feels lonely and distressed."

In the afternoon, some ministers wanted to persuade them face to face, but Wu Jiu said that he was not feeling well, so he did not meet the ministers, but just blocked the door.

When it got dark, the two of them finished their dinner and waited until the dead of night to go to the mourning hall to see what happened to Xiong Pei's body, and they were able to cheat the body in front of the ministers in full view.

At night, the gate of the palace was also closed, and the ministers went back to their homes, so Wu Jiu called Wu Ziqingtang, and together with Marquis Qi, they left the small bedroom and went to the mourning hall.

There were still guards outside the mourning hall. Because of the haunting, they were heavily guarded and very strict. When the leader saw Wu Jiu coming, he cupped his hands and reported it. No suspicious person came in or out that day.

Wu Jiu specifically asked if Peng Yu had come again, and the leader cupped his hands and said, "Go back to my king, Doctor Peng has never come again."

Wu Jiu nodded, and walked into the mourning hall. There were no ministers or envoys inside, and the worshipers had dispersed long ago, leaving only the palace servants on duty for the night.

Because of the previous accident, there were still a lot of people in the palace at this time. In the past, there were only two people on duty at night, but now there are six people.

Those eunuchs and maids saluted Wu Jiu one after another, Wu Jiu questioned him, and nothing strange happened today, but in the morning, under the eyes of everyone, Xiong Pei's body knocked on the coffin a few times, and even smiled grinningly , and then returned to calm, no abnormality.

After Wu Jiu finished asking, he asked all the maids and eunuchs to leave. Although they didn't know what the king was going to do, they didn't dare to ask more questions, and quickly left.

After Wu Jiu and the others had all left, they leaned over to look at Xiong Pei's corpse, but Qihou hurriedly stopped him and said, "What if the corpse is cheated again?"

Wu Jiu was also afraid that there was something strange on it, so Tang Wu said at this time: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I beg you to take a look."

Wu Jiu knew that Tang Wu himself was very skilled in medicine and also knew how to use poison, so he nodded. Tang Wu walked over carefully, first took a look, and didn't do anything, then took out the handkerchief, and used his hands to turn over the body.

Tang Wu looked at it, frowned, and then said: "Forgive me, my blunt statement, the late king is already dead, and if no one makes trouble, it is definitely impossible to move on his own."

Wu Jiao frowned, he didn't believe that the corpse would move by itself from the beginning, and he didn't believe that Xiong Pei was a sudden fraud.

Tang Wu took a closer look at the body again, and saw nothing unusual. The staff of Master Luo had done a good job of embalming it, and the preservation was still very complete.

Tang Wu was watching, when he suddenly said "Huh?", Wu Jiu hurriedly said, "What's wrong? But what's wrong with the body?"

Tang Wu shook his head and said: "Back to the king, it's not that there is something abnormal about the body, but..."

Tang Wu frowned, lowered his body again, looked into the coffin carefully, and stretched out his hand under the veil to push Xiong Pei's body away, as if he was looking at the coffin, hesitantly said: "This... ...this coffin seems to have been eaten by bugs."

Wu Jiu was taken aback, and hurried over to have a look, Qi Hou also frowned, everyone probed to look, and sure enough, they saw some bite marks on the bottom of the coffin.

It has been a long time since the king of Chu, Xiong Pei, passed away. Although the embalming was done well, it was common for insects to gnaw on the coffin. Several people were very surprised. The reason was very simple. That was because Wu Jiao ordered a generous burial for Xiong Pei in order to stabilize the hearts of the people.

Xiong Pei's coffin is the best wooden heart. This coffin is priceless. Although it is far inferior to He's Bi, it is still considered a masterpiece. Such a good coffin is also painted with insect-resistant lacquer. Eaten like this by insects?

If Tang Wu hadn't turned the body over to check it, he wouldn't have known that the coffin under the body had been bitten by insects.

Everyone was very surprised, Tang Wu checked the coffin again, there were no bugs at all, I don't know where the bugs went.

Wu Jiao frowned, as if thinking a little bit, at this moment, someone suddenly shouted outside: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty! It's not good! Your Majesty!"

It was the voice of a court lady, shouting all the way over from a distance, this place was originally a mourning hall, plus it was haunted before, and Xiong Pei's body was knocking on the coffin and laughing grinningly, everyone was actually a bit jealous.

At this time, the palace maid shouted, startling everyone for no reason, even the soldiers outside were startled.

The maid ran towards the mourning hall, but was stopped by soldiers outside, and shouted: "Bold! Why are you making so much noise?"

Wu Jiao came out from the inside at this time, the maid was very unfamiliar, she was not from the small palace, and she did not serve Wu Jiao, Wu Jiao didn't know her.

The palace maid hurriedly knelt down to kowtow to Wu Jiao, and said, "My lord! The servant girl didn't mean to offend my king, but... it's just my lord, the princess is in trouble!"

When Wu Jiu heard it, it turned out that the maid was the personal maid serving Princess Mi. Just now the maid ran all the way to the small bedroom, but the eunuch said that the king was not there and went to the mourning hall, so the maid ran all the way back.

The maid knelt on the ground and said out of breath, "Your Majesty! The princess suddenly fell ill, and the medical officers were helpless. Your Majesty, please save the princess!"

Wu Jiu didn't know what happened to Princess Mi, she was fine in the morning, but she was frightened, why she suddenly fell ill at night, the maid looked anxious, sweating profusely, and looked very panicked, it seemed that Princess Mi was very ill light.

Wu Jiu hurriedly said, "Lead the way."

The palace maid immediately stood up, trotted to lead the way, and led the crowd forward, and soon arrived at the gate of the princess's courtyard. Wu Jiu stopped at this moment, turned around and whispered to Qi Hou, "It's getting late now. I'm afraid the princess's boudoir is not suitable, so please wait here for a while, Your Majesty."

Qihou also knew that he was a foreigner to Chu State. Although there were not so many rules for men and women in this era, Princess Mi was a girl waiting to be married, so it was still inappropriate for Qihou to enter Princess Mi's boudoir.

Even if Marquis Qi was worried about Wu Jiu, he had no choice but to nod his head. Wu Jiu asked Ziqing to stay and a team of soldiers to protect Marquis Qi. The maid quickly walked into the courtyard.

Seeing him walking in a hurry, Qihou said, "Second brother, be careful."

Wu Jiao nodded and hurried into the courtyard. The court lady led Wu Jiao to go in, when he heard the chaos inside, and the voices of several court ladies shouted: "Princess! Princess!"

"Princess Wuwu, what's wrong with you..."

Wu Jiao walked in, the inside was very messy, there were about four or five medical officers, all surrounded by the couch, Princess Mi was lying on the couch, her face was pale, her lips were purple, her head was covered with sweat, and she was in a faint state at this time.

There were court ladies and eunuchs kneeling beside him.

Because Princess Mi is very friendly to the palace people on weekdays, the palace people are very worried about Princess Mi's safety, kneeling on the side and crying continuously.

The medical officials were at a loss what to do, seeing that Wu Jiu was sweating, he was afraid of being blamed.

Seeing Princess Mi fainting, Wu Jiao looked very fragile, as if she had already died, and couldn't help but angrily said, "What's going on? Did the medical officer check the cause?"

The medical officer quickly kowtowed and said: "Young minister is stupid... this... I don't know why the princess suddenly fell ill."

The medical officer failed to find out the cause of the disease, so Wu Jiu didn't care to get angry, and hurriedly said to Tang Wu beside him, "Tang'er, go and show the princess quickly."

Tang Wu hurried over, put his medicine box aside, and checked Princess Mi's pulse.

Wu Jiu stood by and questioned the maid and the eunuch. The maid cried and said, "The princess is fine this afternoon, but she didn't eat much for dinner. Seeing that the princess has no appetite, the maid invited the medical officer. It may be due to the change of the sky, but there is no reason for it. I just prescribed some medicine, but this... the medicine has not been boiled yet, and something happened to the princess suddenly..."

Princess Mi suddenly convulsed, without any preconditions, just couldn't eat at night, and occasionally complained of stomach pains, the maid thought that Princess Mi's menstrual period was approaching, so she didn't pay much attention.

When the maid came in with the medicine, Princess Mi was about to drink the medicine, but she suddenly convulsed and knocked over the medicine bowl. The convulsions were violent, not cramps.

Immediately after, Princess Mi said that her stomach hurts, and she suddenly fell to the ground, hugging her stomach, almost rolling in pain.

Princess Mi is an aristocrat. She was educated very well and paid attention to manners. It was impossible for her to lie on the ground and roll about.

Before the medical officer came, Princess Mi's condition had deteriorated, she was convulsing constantly, she vomited out all the food in her stomach, and then she lost consciousness.

The palace maid cried and said: "The medical officer came and couldn't say anything. The princess kept convulsing and vomiting, maybe she couldn't keep up with her physical strength, and suddenly passed out."

Princess Mi's face was very ugly, as if she couldn't stand the toss, her whole person looked ashamed and defeated.

Wu Jiu said, "But it was poisoned? What did the princess eat?"

The maid said: "All of them have been tested for poison, the princess's food is not different from usual."

The medical officer hurriedly said: "Go back to my king, it's not poisoning, the minister has already checked, and there is no sign of poisoning."

At this moment, they suddenly heard the sound of "Da... Da Da Da! Da Da Da——", accompanied by the crying of the palace maid, everyone suddenly heard a very strange voice, and they couldn't help but widen their eyes and hold their breath. The maid was frightened at once, because the voice... seemed familiar.

When they were in the mourning hall this morning, they heard this "da da da" sound. It was the sound of the late king knocking on the coffin.

Everyone was shocked, thinking that the ghost of the former king was here to cause trouble. At this moment, Tang Wu yelled, and everyone looked on the couch. It turned out that Princess Mi woke up, but her consciousness did not return, she just opened her eyes. Her eyes were closed, her eyes were dull, and she started to twitch again. She put her hand on the side of the couch, and just twitched the teeth of the couch, so she made a "da da da..." sound.

Princess Mi convulsed suddenly, Tang Wu couldn't hold her down, the maid ran over to help, at this time she heard the sound of "cluck, cluck..." and Princess Mi made a toad cry, which was similar to a ferocious one. laughter.

"what!!"

The maid next to her was so frightened that she sat down on the ground. This maid went to worship with Princess Mi in the morning, and happened to hear the sinister laughter of the late king's deceitful corpse, so when she heard this, she was startled and twitched. Princess Mi said: "Princess...princess...she smiles just like the former king..."

When she said this, everyone was frightened, their faces changed, and they said, "Is it... the ghost of the former king has come!"

"It must be that the late king is back!"

"The late king is here..."

When one person said this, the people next to him were also frightened, and they all thought it was very credible. Princess Mi was still twitching, but the side was in a mess, and the medical officer couldn't find out why. Evil, the more I think about it, the more I feel like this.

Seeing that the scene was out of control and the voices of the palace servants became louder and louder, Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes and yelled, "Shut up, all of you!"

The palace people heard that Wu Jiu was angry, so they quickly shut their mouths, not daring to breathe, but still trembling with suspicion and fear.

Wu Jiu turned his head to look at Tang Wu, and said, "Did you see anything?"

Tang Wu suppressed the twitching Princess Mi. Princess Mi was still grinning grinningly, her lips didn't move, but there was a ferocious and strange laugh in her throat, as if it was ventriloquist.

Tang Wu quickly opened Princess Mi's mouth, looked inside, and said with a pale face, "Your Majesty, there are worms in Princess Mi's mouth."

As soon as his words came out, everyone was shocked. Princess Mi suddenly had a stomachache, vomited, and convulsed. It turned out that she was not poisoned, let alone possessed by evil spirits, but that there were worms in her stomach, and the worms crawled into Princess Mi's stomach. In the middle of the day, Princess Mi naturally had unbearable colic, and her body's stress response twitched. Just now, the bug crawled into her throat, and everyone heard a grinning laugh, which was actually the sound of a bug.

Wu Jiu's mind flashed, and he couldn't help squinting his eyes. Tang Wu's face was very ugly, and he was suppressing Princess Mi, who was constantly moving around. Princess Mi twitched because of the pain, and reacted greatly. , making Princess Mi more painful, thus entering an endless loop.

Tang Wu's eyes quickly looked around for a while, and immediately gathered together, saying: "Put that incense out! Hurry up!"

The eunuch and maid next to him didn't react. They were talking about bugs one moment, but why did they turn into incense the next moment?

Everyone didn't react, but Wu Jiao reacted quickly. He walked over quickly, extinguished the incense, and threw it into the basin next to him. With a sound of "呵——", the elegant fragrance disappeared immediately.

Tang Wu heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Although this incense is ordinary, it just stimulates the insects, and the insects will be agitated when they smell the aroma."

The incense was extinguished, as if to verify Tang Wu's words, Princess Mi's convulsions gradually became smaller, then she settled down, and fell into a coma again.

Wu Jiu stared at the lingering incense in the water basin, and thought of Princess Mi's symptoms just now, and suddenly thought of what the maid said last night, she said that she also added incense in the mourning hall, and then heard the sound of the body knocking on the coffin...
