Chapter 121 Marriage (1)
Although Princess Mi didn't feel the pain anymore, Tang Wu said that the worms were still in her stomach, and she had to get them out. Generally, there were two ways. The first way was to incise and take out the worms, which was actually an operation. This method is too dangerous and painful in the age when medicine is backward.
Although Princess Mi is well-behaved, she is a noble daughter after all, and she will definitely not be able to bear this kind of pain.
Tang Wu also tends to the second way, which is to spit it out.
Wu Jiao looked at Princess Mi who had passed out, and said, "How did this bug crawl into your mouth?"
Tang Wu said: "The worms were small at first, and they were full of eggs. After they found their nests, they gradually grew bigger. Princess Mi's reaction was great. Now the worms haven't grown too big, so they should be easier to get out. "
Everyone was horrified when they heard it, and Tang Wu also said that this kind of bug is very uncommon, and it usually grows in the extreme north. It stands to reason that there is no such bug in Chu country.
This kind of insect is not afraid of antisepsis, nor is it afraid of insect repellent medicine. It must be burned thoroughly before it will die. Ordinary spices are actually no problem, but as soon as this kind of insect smells that spice, it will enter the estrus period and become restless. Incessantly, just imagine that there are worms in your stomach restless, crawling around, how can a sick person not suffer?
If the bug hadn't been discovered, it would be even more terrifying if it gave birth to cubs after a long time.
Everyone was terrified when they heard this, and their faces turned pale with fright. They felt that it was really terrible. There are such terrible bugs in the world. The most important thing is, how did Princess Mi get infected with this bug?
Everyone didn't understand, Wu Jiu didn't talk nonsense right now, and quickly asked Tang Wu to think of a way, surgery is impossible, or let Princess Mi spit out the worms in her stomach.
Tang Wu quickly prepared a pair of medicine juice, because Tang Wu carried a small medicine box with him, which was full of medicine powder. It was not necessary to boil it when it was urgently needed. The medicine works well.
Tang Wu quickly dispensed the medicine, Wu Jiao looked at Princess Mi like this, and wondered if this matter could pass today, so he asked the eunuch to go outside and inform Qihou, telling him not to worry, Princess Mi's problem was found, let Qihou Go back to the small dormitory to rest first, after all, it is already night.
The eunuch came back to report that he had notified Qihou, and Qihou told him to be careful, so he went back to the small bedroom first.
Wu Jiu couldn't sit down either, his nerves were tense all the time, and he was watching Tang Wu dispensing the medicine. At this time, Princess Mi woke up slowly because of the relief of pain.
Because Princess Mi was in great pain, she woke up and burst into tears. Wu Jiao hurriedly comforted Princess Mi and said, "It's all right, it's all right, don't cry, and you'll be fine after drinking the medicine in a while."
Princess Mi was so relieved that she cried even more, sobbing and said: "Uncle Wang, Mi's stomach still hurts, but it's better than before."
Naturally, it still hurts, because the worm is still in Princess Mi's stomach, but it's not so restless.
Tang Wu hurriedly brought the medicine to induce vomiting, but Princess Mi didn't know what it was, so Wu Jiu coaxed her and said, "Take the medicine obediently, it's fine, you'll vomit in a while, and you'll be fine."
Princess Mi passed out just now, and she didn't hear what they said about the worm, so she didn't know anything about it, so she nodded, asked Wu Jiao to support her, and drank the medicine.
The medicine was sour and smelly, and it choked the nose indescribably. As soon as Princess Mi drank it, she immediately "vomited" and wanted to vomit.
Tang Wu quickly said: "Don't spit it out now, bear with it."
Princess Mi tried her best to endure, her face was covered with sweat, and she couldn't hold it anymore for a while, she vomited on the couch with a "wow", Wu Jiao didn't dislike her, and patted her on the back, the eunuch and the eunuch behind The maids rushed up to help.
Princess Mi vomited three mouthfuls in a row, and her stomach was almost empty. At this time, she heard the sound of "giggling" and felt something scratching in her throat. She vomited again and cried in fright. A big bug spit out from his mouth.
Princess Mi turned pale with fright and almost fainted, Tang Wu said: "Also, try to spit it out."
Princess Mi saw that there were worms in her mouth, and Wu Tang said there were more. Although she was sick and uncomfortable, she quickly cooperated and vomited vigorously, and then spit it out again, a total of three big worms.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Wu Jiao hurriedly shouted: "Catch it quickly and burn it with fire."
The eunuch and maid rushed over to catch the worms, threw the worms into the basin, and directly lit the fire. Everyone was so busy that they finally burned the worms clean.
After Princess Mi vomited, she was so frightened that she burst into tears and almost fainted from sobbing. She had just been tortured by illness and her body was already weak, but now she really fainted when she cried.
Wu Jiu quickly caught Princess Mi, and Tang Wu said, "It's okay, let the princess sleep for a while."
The palace people hurriedly changed the bed, because the bed was already vomited badly, so Wu Jiao simply picked up Princess Mi and put her in another room in the courtyard, letting her rest first.
Looking at Princess Mi's pale face, Wu Jiao's eyes were very gloomy. Just now, Princess Mi's illness was exactly the same as Xiong Fei's fraudulent corpse, whether it was the body spasms or the "giggle" laughter in his throat, they were all exactly the same.
What does this mean?It shows that Xiong Pei is not a corpse fraud at all, nor is it that he will die in peace, but that someone has planted insects on Xiong Pei's corpse. Just now Tang Wu also said that the insects are not afraid of antiseptics, so they can breed in Xiong Pei's body, not only that, I'm afraid it was also this bug that gnawed on the coffin.
Someone planted bugs on King Chu’s body, the purpose was to cheat King Chu’s corpse to guide public opinion, and the most direct person was probably Peng Yu, who made full use of his Bu Yin’s ability to stand up and guide public opinion at that time. The convenience of the job.
Wu Jiu squinted his eyes, thinking that Peng Yu suggested that he should guard the spirit at that time. I am afraid that Peng Yu wanted him to guard the dead body with worms for nine days, even if he was not infected with worms.
But he didn't expect that Princess Mi was so weak that she was infected with the bug first, and she also got sick, which Tang Wu saw.
Thinking about it carefully, Xiong Pei's body was cheated twice. The first time was when the maid added incense when she was on duty at night, so the king of Chu's body suddenly started knocking on the coffin. In fact, it was because insects were crawling.
The second time the corpse was fraudulent was when Princess Mi was present. Princess Mi was worshiping at that time, and she might also be offering incense, which caused the sudden restlessness of the insects. The insects crawled to the mouth of the corpse and made a clucking sound.
In order to verify whether what he thought was correct, Wu Jiu found the maid who was following Princess Mi today and asked her what Princess Mi was doing.
The palace maid immediately said: "The princess was offering incense at that time! The decision is absolutely correct, the servant girl saw it very clearly!"
As soon as Wu Jiu heard it, he confirmed his own thoughts. It was a good plan to let the body be faked, and the most simple and common spices were used. If it wasn't for Tang's outstanding witch doctor skills, he probably wouldn't have known that this common incense could Stimulate bugs.
Everyone was busy until it was almost dawn, Princess Mi was still resting, she was crying in her dream because she was frightened, Wu Jiao couldn't bear it, but there was nothing she could do, there was still morning court today, Wu Jiao He planned to swindle Peng Yu to see if he could catch the mastermind behind the scenes.
Wu Jiu asked Tang Wu to stay and take care of Princess Mi, and hurried back to the small bedroom with the eunuch to prepare for the morning court.
It was already late for Wu Jiu to return to the small dormitory, time was running out, and he was about to go to court soon, Wu Jiu was going to change clothes, when he walked into the inner hall of the small dormitory, he saw Qihou sleeping on the couch, he hadn't woken up yet, frowning Frowning, as if sleeping restlessly.
Wu Jiu felt that it might be because Qihou didn't sleep well last night. After standing outside Princess Mi's courtyard for so long, he naturally didn't sleep well, so he didn't plan to wake Qihou up.
Wu Jiu had changed his clothes and was about to leave immediately, when he suddenly heard Qi Hou's "Ho!!", he sat up abruptly, stretched out his hand to press his stomach, his face looked terribly painful, and at the same time his hand was still moving. He convulsed and trembled, his tough face instantly turned pale, and big beads of sweat rolled down his face.
Wu Jiao was taken aback and said, "What's wrong?"
Qihou quickly waved his hands and said, "It's all right... Is it dawn? Is the second brother going to court today... Hey!"
Before Qihou finished speaking, he suddenly gasped and almost fell to the ground.
Wu Jiao was even more surprised, and rushed over. After all, something happened to Princess Mi just now. Wu Jiao was once bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of well ropes, even Qihou.
Qihou clutched his stomach, gasping for breath non-stop, with cold sweat on his forehead, it seemed that the situation was not good.
Wu Jiao supported him, and said anxiously, "What's the matter? Are you uncomfortable? Stomach pain?"
Qi Hou nodded with difficulty, he couldn't stand anymore, and fell to the ground suddenly, his hands were twitching and trembling because of the severe pain.
Wu Jiu saw that the symptoms were the same as that of Princess Mi. He quickly stood up and looked around. When he saw the incense burning in the temple, he quickly went over and extinguished the incense. He also threw it into the water basin and said to the eunuch: : "Go and call Tang Wu over!"
The eunuch ran away in a hurry, rushing all the way to Princess Mi's side, Wu Jiao didn't have time to go to court, he helped Qihou to lie down on the couch, Qihou didn't know what happened to him, since last night, in fact, he I felt uncomfortable in my stomach, and I thought that my stomach was spoiled by eating, so I didn't say it.
Qihou can be much more patient than Princess Mi. Although he is a nobleman of the Qi State, he has swallowed his anger since he was a child, so he is not spoiled at all. He was busy, and Qi Hou didn't want to make trouble for him.
Unexpectedly, the pain is so unbearable all of a sudden, Qihou is planning to have a stomach problem, and it will pass after a while, Wu Jiao heard from him that he felt uncomfortable last night, otherwise Wu Jiao asked Qihou to go back to the small bedroom, and Qihou would be honest Actually went back, I am afraid that Marquis Qi was already very uncomfortable at that time, so he went back obediently.
Wu Jiao saw that Qihou's face was pale, he was very anxious, and his face was full of fury. Tang Wu was still with Princess Mi and didn't come over. Although the incense was gone, Qihou still had a stomachache and his face was pale, but he laughed pickily. He smiled and said: "Second brother, it's okay, you go to the court first, you are enthroned, if you don't go to the court, the gang of doctors Ziqing will catch you short."
Qi Hou's face was so ugly, and he asked Wu Jiao to go to the court, Wu Jiao trembled with anger, and shouted: "What nonsense, shut up!"
Qi Hou was scolded mercilessly by Wu Jiu, but he was not angry at all, instead he felt happy, because Wu Jiu cared about him very much like that.
Wu Jiao saw Qihou smiling palely, and said angrily, "When you see what you vomit, you won't be able to laugh anymore."
Qihou didn't know, so naturally he didn't know what was vomited out. Tangwu soon ran over, sweating profusely, holding a medicine box. The medicine had been prepared in it. He washed it with hot water and asked Qihou to take it. Down.
Qihou drank it honestly, but felt that the stench was unbearable, not as honest as Princess Mi, she was about to vomit immediately, and after holding it back for a while, she vomited out with a "vomit".
The eunuchs and maids present were all shocked with "Ho!!", the worm was bigger than what Princess Mi vomited out, because Qihou could bear it, the worm grew so big.
Qihou didn't expect that what he vomited out were worms, and his face immediately turned ugly, followed by another sound, and he spit out a few more mouthfuls in a row, and again he vomited out a big worm. Fortunately, Qihou also vomited out two worms. , but less than Princess Mi.
Qihou's complexion has turned from pale to blue, whoever spit out such a big worm must have turned blue.
Although Qihou was strong, he couldn't do it after vomiting. He fell ill like a mountain, and fell asleep on the couch with a very ugly face.
Wu Jiu had already missed the time for going to court, so he didn't go there again. Instead, he asked the eunuch to inform the high officials that the court was canceled today and will be made up tomorrow.
Wu Jiu had just ascended the throne, and suddenly he did not go to court. Upon hearing this matter, the senior officials started discussing it one after another, and the discussions were extremely heated.
Wu Jiu didn't care about this, Qi Hou's face was really ugly, if he was asked to go to court, he might directly tear Peng Yu up, although there was no serious evidence to prove that it was Peng Yu, but Wu Jiao knew that he was not a calm person, the real I am an impulsive person, more impulsive than anyone else.
Wu Jiu looked at Qihou's drowsy state, his eyes were full of haze, he stretched out his hand to call for Ziqing, and said, "Go and investigate the matter of the bugs, especially Peng Yu."
Ziqing nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going right now, Xiaochen."
As he said, he quickly exited the hall, Wu Jiu stood by Qihou's side, Qihou had been in a coma, after about an hour, he slowly woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Wu Jiu.
Wu Jiu was still wearing the black court robe, but he took off the crown and threw it crookedly aside.
Qihou narrowed his eyes and said, "What time is it?"
Wu Jiu told him that he had been in a coma for more than an hour. Qi Hou's eyes were full and he said, "Second brother, you really didn't go to court?"
Wu Jiu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Of course I'm here to guard you, how can I go to court."
When Qihou heard this, the corners of his mouth went up to his ears, he stretched out his hand to grab Wu Jiu's hand, and said, "Second brother, you are so kind."
Wu Jiu heard what he said so nasty, but he didn't let go of his hand, after all, Qi Hou's complexion is not too good.
Wu Jiu said, "How do you feel, are you still uncomfortable?"
Qihou shook his head and said pitifully, "It's just that I feel weak, maybe I vomited."
Wu Jiu told the story again that Xiong Pei's body probably had worms, and both Princess Mi and Qihou were infected with worms, which is why they suddenly fell ill.
When Qihou heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Second Brother, Peng Yu has been urging you to guard Xiong Pei's spirit before. Is there something wrong with him?"
Wu Jiu nodded and said, "Your Majesty and Jiu want to go together, and Jiu also thinks that there is something wrong with Peng Yu. I'm afraid he has set a trap long ago and wants to put Jiu to death."
Qihou's face suddenly became gloomy, he sneered, and said, "This is Peng Yu."
Wu Jiu said: "But there is no evidence at the moment, and Jiu has asked Ziqing to investigate this matter secretly. We should not startle the snake. The matter of guarding the spirit must continue, and the main thing is to appease Peng Yu."
Qihou nodded and said: "If Peng Yu really has such thoughts, Gu will tear him apart."
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty is a patient, so I should leave this kind of thing to my brother."
When Qihou heard that it was the first time for Wu Jiu to claim to be his elder brother, he couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Yes, elder brother."
Wu Jiu was just talking and joking, unexpectedly, Qi Hou called his brother coquettishly, which made Wu Jiu's goosebumps pop out of him.
When Marquis Qi was sick, he naturally wanted to act like a spoiled child, not only acted like a spoiled child, but also played tricks, taking the opportunity to grab Wu Jiu, like a dog's skin plaster, and would not let Wu Jiu go anywhere.
Ziqing came back soon, but did not find out what Peng Yu had to do with this incident. Ziqing said: "Peng Yu has been bewitching the doctors, saying that it was the late king who died without peace, so he wanted the king to go up to guard the spirit, but There is nothing else to do.”
Wu Jiao frowned, and said, "Could it be that the widow is wrong? It's not Peng Yu, Peng Yu just wants to pick up melons?"
Qihou also frowned, and said, "Ziqing, go and find out who Peng Yu has met these days."
Ziqing nodded, and immediately ran out to continue the investigation.
In the afternoon, Ziqing came over and reported to Marquis Qi and Wu Jiu that Peng Yu had met many people that day, most of them were fooling around, saying that the former king died without resting his eyes, etc., but it was strange that Peng Yu also met an eunuch.
Ziqing said: "This eunuch and minister know each other, and we met yesterday, and it turns out to be the eunuch next to the princess."
When Wu Jiu heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said, "The one with the princess?"
Qihou also squinted his eyes. The two of them seemed to want to go together. After all, Peng Yu was really clean in this matter, as if he hadn't participated in it at all. However, Peng Yu was the one who benefited the most from this matter. And Peng Yu is Bu Yin, how could it be such a coincidence that such demagogic things happened as soon as Peng Yu took office?If it is a coincidence, don't say that Wu Jiu doesn't believe it, Qihou doesn't believe it either.
Wu Jiao was going to see Princess Mi and inquired about the eunuch, just in time to see how Princess Mi was doing. Qi Hou struggled and wanted to go, Wu Jiao said helplessly: "That's the princess's boudoir. , it is not suitable for you to go in as a man."
Qihou said: "It doesn't matter if it's not suitable, it's an eventful time, so I have to follow my second brother."
Wu Jiu said, "But it was you, Your Majesty, who had the accident just now."
Qi Hou said reluctantly: "Peng Yu came after the second brother, Gu and Princess Mi just got caught by accident."
Wu Jiu couldn't say no to him, and as soon as he refused to let him follow, Qi Hou pretended to be in pain, and simply grabbed Wu Jiao and refused to let him go.
Wu Jiu really had no other choice in the end, why didn't he know that Qihou was actually a little expert who played tricks? !
Wu Jiu had no choice but to take Qi Hou to find Princess Mi. In order to avoid suspicion, the two of them naturally brought many eunuchs and court ladies there, in the name of visiting the sick.
Princess Mi fell into a coma last night, and woke up this morning, her body is better, but because of the torture of illness, Princess Mi looks very haggard, not as good as Qihou.
When Princess Mi saw them coming, she dragged Wu Jiao and started to cry, apparently she was still scared, after all, Princess Mi saw big worms crawling out of her mouth, and three of them crawled out at once.
When Qi Hou saw that Princess Mi and Wu Jiu were close, he felt as if he was jealous, but there was nothing he could do. Who made Princess Mi be Wu Jiu's niece?
Qi Hou was sitting on the side, watching Wu Jiao comforting Princess Mi, that was called being careful and gentle, Qi Hou started to be jealous again, thinking that he should cry too, which made the second brother gentle?
Thinking about it, Qi Hou coughed twice, because he really didn't know what it was like to cry, maybe the second brother would dislike him even more...
Wu Jiao came over because he actually wanted to ask Princess Mi about the eunuchs around her.
Wu Jiao asked everyone to leave first, and then asked Princess Mi. When Princess Mi heard him ask about the eunuch beside her, she quickly said: "Yes, he has been following Mi. Yesterday he went to worship the king's father, and he followed. Uncle, what's the matter?"
When Wu Jiu heard this, this person had been following Princess Mi, because Princess Mi belonged to her daughter's family, so the maids served most around her, but there were also a few eunuchs who followed, but the maids were still closer, so everyone paid attention to the maids. Did not pay attention to what the eunuch was doing at that time.
Wu Jiao then asked Princess Mi whom she had contacted with in the past few days, Princess Mi said: "I haven't contacted anyone, I just went to the mourning hall twice, and the rest are in the house, and I haven't been anywhere."
When Wu Jiao heard this, he felt that there was something wrong with the eunuch. Just think about it, the eunuch next to Princess Mi was completely incompatible with Peng Yu.
Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes immediately, and Princess Mi asked suspiciously, "Uncle Wang?"
Wu Jiu said, "Call the eunuch in."
Although Princess Mi didn't know what he meant, she still complied and asked the eunuch to be called over.
The eunuch heard that the princess was calling him, so he came over quickly, and when he entered the door, before he could react, he heard Wu Jiu's order, and several ambushed soldiers immediately arrested him.
The eunuch turned pale with shock, and said, "Your Majesty, please spare me!"
Wu Jiu looked at the panic-stricken eunuch, and said with a smile, "What kind of life do you have?"
When the eunuch heard this, he was a little dazed, and immediately said: "No, no, nothing! Nothing!"
The eunuch seemed to have done something wrong, so he missed the first sentence.
Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes and shouted: "No? Are you willing to confess only if the widow orders torture?"
The eunuch was terrified, but kept shaking his head in denial, and said, "Your Majesty, my servant... I have never done anything. I have been doing my best to serve the princess, and I have never done anything else! !"
As he was talking, Qi Hou led someone in from the outside, and with a "boom!", he threw something on the case, which was wrapped in cloth.
"Wow!" A lot of valuables were scattered from inside, such as gold, silver and jewellery, as well as women's hairpin headgear, etc. When the cloth bag was scattered, it shone golden.
It turned out that when the eunuch was called over just now, Marquis Qi had already brought people to search. The eunuch did not live alone in the same house, there were many eunuchs living in the same house. He had a small cabinet. Open it After that, there were many things piled up outside, but when I dug inside, it turned out to be a big bag of treasures.
Qi Hou smiled coldly and said: "I didn't expect you to hide everything, and you have a lot of wealth. These things are probably more than the salary of a Chinese doctor?"
The eunuch trembled when he heard this, and said, "This...this is all...is..."
He talked for a long time, but he didn't say anything, and indeed he couldn't say anything, because none of these things were rewarded by Princess Mi, and none of the women's hairpin headdresses belonged to Princess Mi, and Princess Mi didn't have such a big hand. Don't look at her as a princess, but now she has fallen a lot, and she gave Li Ji her own things. Naturally, she has nothing to reward the palace people.
The eunuch hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Princess, you have pity on this little minister, who is... innocent..."
Wu Jie smiled faintly and said: "Innocent? That's good. Since you are innocent, explain where the money came from. It makes sense. The widow will naturally let you go and return the money to you. "
The eunuch was still trembling when he heard this, because he couldn't explain it at all, Wu Jiao immediately shouted: "Why don't you say it!"
He said, "Boom!!" He patted the table, and the eunuch was so frightened that he knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Your minister knows your mistake! My minister knows your mistake! I beg the king to forgive me!" Minister!"
When he said this, it was a disguised admission. Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "You also laid the worms on the late king's body?"
Princess Mi was shocked and stared at the eunuch. She didn't know that there was an inner ghost around her, and she actually tampered with the dead king's body. This is a disrespectful thing.
The eunuch looked desperate, and said: "Yes...it was the little minister who did it, but the little minister was forced and helpless! The little minister was really forced, and the little minister dared not be so disrespectful. I beg the king to forgive the little minister. !"
Wu Jiu said: "It's not impossible to forgive you, just tell me who forced you to do it."
When Wu Jiao asked this question, the eunuch suddenly trembled, his teeth clashed up and down, and he seemed to feel terrible, his eyes flickered, as if he was avoiding it, he lowered his head and dared not speak, but shouted: "Your Majesty!" Let me go, my little minister! Let me go, my little minister!"
Seeing the eunuch crying, Wu Jiao didn't say anything, but sneered and said, "If you don't say it, I understand it very well in my heart, but Mr. Peng Yupeng?"
When he said this, Princess Mi was taken aback. Thinking back, if it was Peng Yu's words, then Peng Yu would have invited Wu Jiu to guard the spirit for nine days.
Princess Mi is not stupid, although she is usually a little innocent, but she still turned her head around, and she figured it out immediately, Peng Yu didn't do anything, but found the eunuch beside him, why?Because Princess Mi is the direct daughter of the former king, Princess Mi must have paid homage to the former king the most times, so it is easier for people around her to attack, and it is not easy to be discovered. If they are found, they can clear the relationship.
When the eunuch heard the word "Peng Yu", he almost fainted from fright, and immediately kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please spare this little minister! Go around the little minister! I don't want to Die! Princess! Princess, save the servant!"
Seeing that he was stubborn, Princess Mi said, "If you tell me who instigated you, then Uncle Wang will let you go. If you are so stubborn, I can't save you."
Princess Mi has always had the softest ears, but now she doesn't speak good words to him. The eunuch looked desperate and cried and said: "I don't want to die, I can't say it, even if I say it... I can't even say it..." Your Majesty can't touch that person... I have no choice but to die!"
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou frowned at the same time, Wu Jiu, as the King of Chu, couldn't touch that person, who is that person?If it was Peng Yu, Wu Jiu could have directly investigated him. Could it be that he was with other people besides Peng Yu?
Wu Jiao frowned and said, "If you say it, how can you know that the widow can't handle him? In this world, there are people who the widow can't handle? You look down on the widow too much."
The eunuch cried and said: "It's really not that the minister underestimated the king, but...but that person has a life-saving talisman! Woooooo, my lord, please spare me!"
Wu Jiao sneered, and said: "I will spare you? You don't know that, the worm eggs are very easy to infect. If you lay the worms with your own hands, you may have already been infected. From the beginning, you are a dead man, not a widow. If you don't spare you, you will survive."
Hearing this, the eunuch was stunned, as if recalling the scene of Princess Mi being tortured to death, he trembled.
The eunuch hurriedly covered his stomach, as if his stomach was hurting. Because of the previous incident, Princess Mi’s house did not dare to light incense, because the bugs would not be restless, even if there were bugs in the eunuch’s stomach, they would not be disturbed at this time. won't happen.
Wu Jiu just lied to the eunuch, wanting him to know that he was always a pawn and could throw it away at any time, so there was no need to keep it a secret from those people.
The eunuch immediately turned pale, and knelt on the ground, his whole body limp. Wu Jiu said: "You have also seen that, if you confess, the medical officer next to the widow can help you get the bug out. If you don't confess, you will only die. One, and it still hurts to death."
Wu Jiu said it very coldly, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing, while the eunuch was trembling, as if he was struggling, and finally paralyzed, tremblingly said: "Young minister...you confess! I beg the king to protect you!" Life for the servant!"
Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Say it."
At this time, everyone suddenly heard the voice of a palace maid outside, it was the maid next to Princess Mi.
The maid said: "Your Majesty, the King is inside, you can't go in now."
Immediately, Li Ji's voice said: "I heard that the princess is ill, so I'm so worried, why the king can visit the sick, but I can't? You court lady is so unruly, bold, escape me, and move my fetal gas , can you afford to pay for your poor life!?"
"My lady, you can't go in, my lady! My lady..."
The maid stopped Li Ji, but she couldn't stop her at all, and she didn't dare to touch her. Li Ji walked in quickly, and as Li Ji came, a very strong fragrance came over her face.
As soon as Wu Jiu smelled the fragrance, his eyes darkened immediately, and he said, "Oops!"
As soon as he said this, Tang Wu also thought it was bad, Li Ji was actually covered with a very thick incense powder, the incense powder was very unusual, it had the same smell as ordinary burning incense, but it seemed to be more volatile.
Li Ji didn't even come in, and the scent was already very strong. In an instant, the eunuch kneeling on the ground suddenly yelled "Ahhhh!", "Gudong!" Spasms, whitening of the eyes.
Wu Jiu was just defrauding the eunuch, thinking that the eunuch might have caught the worm when he killed the worm, but he was right. The eunuch also had worms in his stomach, and his reaction was comparable to that of Princess Mi and Qi. Hou was much more intense. As soon as he smelled the fragrance of Li Ji, he twitched two or three times, just two or three times. He kicked his legs suddenly, his eyes turned white, and he died like this.
Wu Jiao was taken aback, and shouted twice: "Tang'er!"
When Tang Wu rushed over, the eunuch had suddenly died suddenly, and there was a "cluck, cluck" sound in his throat.
Li Ji walked in at this moment, and suddenly saw the eunuch with white eyes, "Ah!" she screamed, "What's the matter!? What's the matter?"
Wu Jiao glanced over, Li Ji was holding her big belly, one hand was supporting her waist, her body was smeared with rich powder, exuding a strong fragrance, Wu Jiao's eyes fell on Li Ji's stomach, suddenly a sudden In a flash, he understood what the eunuch meant.
The eunuch said that the man had a life-saving talisman, and even Wu Jiu, who is the king of Chu, could not bring that person to justice, so the eunuch did not say anything about it.
And when Wu Jiu saw Li Ji's belly, he suddenly understood what the life-saving talisman was. It was naturally the flesh and blood of the former king, the child in Li Ji's belly!
Because this incident was probably not planned by Peng Yu alone, but by Li Ji.
Li Ji came just in time, and before the eunuch could say anything, Li Ji ran over wearing a powder that could make the bugs restless, just in time to kill and silence her.
Li Ji pretended to be terrified, and hurried out of the palace. Princess Mi was still in such pain seeing an eunuch die in front of her. She had never seen such a thing before, and she trembled with fright.
Wu Jiu had a cold face, the whole thing seemed to be clear, but the witness was dead, only a pile of jewels were found, and no one could prove that it belonged to Li Ji and Peng Yu, Li Ji was obviously confident.
Wu Jiu comforted Princess Mi and ordered the eunuch's body to be carried away, then walked out of the princess's courtyard and headed for the small bedroom, with Qi Hou following behind.
When the two of them entered the small bedroom, Wu Jiu sneered and said, "What a Peng Yu, what a Li Ji, do you really treat me like a monkey!?"
Seeing that Wu Jiu was angry, Marquis Qi hurriedly said: "Second brother, don't be angry, your body cannot be angry, don't make yourself angry."
Wu Jiao was so angry that they first played tricks, saying that the king of Chu would not die in peace, obviously to arouse public opinion, and then asked Wu Jiao to guard the spirit, wanting to infect Wu Jiao with bugs, and even harmed Princess Mi and even Marquis Qi. How could Jiu not be angry? In the end, Li Ji came down, because Li Ji had a child of the former king in her stomach. If Wu Jiu had moved her without conclusive evidence, the public opinion of Chu State would be overwhelmed.
Even if Wu Jiu had conclusive evidence, as the eunuch said, there was no way to touch Li Ji before she gave birth.
Wu Jiao was so angry that he raised his hand and "Boom!" and overturned the table next to him. Seeing that he was so angry, Qi Hou felt very distressed, and quickly hugged him in his arms, comforting him and said, "Okay, second brother, want to There is no need to be in a hurry to catch them, don't let the second brother get angry."
Wu Jiu was out of breath, and he calmed down for a while before he recovered. Qi Hou said: "The most urgent thing is to let Xiong Pei be buried as soon as possible."
Wu Jiu nodded, it was natural.
Because there was no court that day, and he was going to court early the next morning, Wu Jiu came out in a black court robe with a very cold expression on his face. When all the officials saw it, they all looked at each other, and they immediately saw that the king is today. If you're in a bad mood, it's better not to provoke her.
Wu Jiu sat down and waved his hand. The eunuch beside him immediately took out a bronze pot and put it on the floor of the main hall. on the ground.
Soon the eunuch came over again and lit a stick of incense next to him. This action made Peng Yu's face turn pale. Sure enough, after a while, the pot on the ground began to "bang, bang, bang, bang". Tight, the jar is about to fall apart.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, the jar was not only jumping by itself, but also made a grinning sound similar to "giggle". When everyone heard it, they suddenly remembered, isn't this the laughter of the former king?
Doctor Qing was at a loss as he looked at the bouncing bronze pots on the ground, all of them looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Wu Jiu said lightly: "Doctor Peng, as Bu Yin, you have always said that you are the ghost of the former king, so you have come back. Now tell me, what is the matter with this jar? Could it be that the soul of the former king is still alive?" Attached to the jar?"
Everyone immediately looked at Peng Yu. Peng Yu was Bu Yin, and he had the most say in this matter, but Peng Yu's face was pale.
He had already received a notice from Li Ji yesterday that the eunuch who killed the bug had died. Fortunately, before the eunuch could say anything, he was killed by Li Ji with a large dose of face powder, so it was impossible to testify against them again.
However, Peng Yu is still very worried, this is not, worrying early in the morning
Although Princess Mi is well-behaved, she is a noble daughter after all, and she will definitely not be able to bear this kind of pain.
Tang Wu also tends to the second way, which is to spit it out.
Wu Jiao looked at Princess Mi who had passed out, and said, "How did this bug crawl into your mouth?"
Tang Wu said: "The worms were small at first, and they were full of eggs. After they found their nests, they gradually grew bigger. Princess Mi's reaction was great. Now the worms haven't grown too big, so they should be easier to get out. "
Everyone was horrified when they heard it, and Tang Wu also said that this kind of bug is very uncommon, and it usually grows in the extreme north. It stands to reason that there is no such bug in Chu country.
This kind of insect is not afraid of antisepsis, nor is it afraid of insect repellent medicine. It must be burned thoroughly before it will die. Ordinary spices are actually no problem, but as soon as this kind of insect smells that spice, it will enter the estrus period and become restless. Incessantly, just imagine that there are worms in your stomach restless, crawling around, how can a sick person not suffer?
If the bug hadn't been discovered, it would be even more terrifying if it gave birth to cubs after a long time.
Everyone was terrified when they heard this, and their faces turned pale with fright. They felt that it was really terrible. There are such terrible bugs in the world. The most important thing is, how did Princess Mi get infected with this bug?
Everyone didn't understand, Wu Jiu didn't talk nonsense right now, and quickly asked Tang Wu to think of a way, surgery is impossible, or let Princess Mi spit out the worms in her stomach.
Tang Wu quickly prepared a pair of medicine juice, because Tang Wu carried a small medicine box with him, which was full of medicine powder. It was not necessary to boil it when it was urgently needed. The medicine works well.
Tang Wu quickly dispensed the medicine, Wu Jiao looked at Princess Mi like this, and wondered if this matter could pass today, so he asked the eunuch to go outside and inform Qihou, telling him not to worry, Princess Mi's problem was found, let Qihou Go back to the small dormitory to rest first, after all, it is already night.
The eunuch came back to report that he had notified Qihou, and Qihou told him to be careful, so he went back to the small bedroom first.
Wu Jiu couldn't sit down either, his nerves were tense all the time, and he was watching Tang Wu dispensing the medicine. At this time, Princess Mi woke up slowly because of the relief of pain.
Because Princess Mi was in great pain, she woke up and burst into tears. Wu Jiao hurriedly comforted Princess Mi and said, "It's all right, it's all right, don't cry, and you'll be fine after drinking the medicine in a while."
Princess Mi was so relieved that she cried even more, sobbing and said: "Uncle Wang, Mi's stomach still hurts, but it's better than before."
Naturally, it still hurts, because the worm is still in Princess Mi's stomach, but it's not so restless.
Tang Wu hurriedly brought the medicine to induce vomiting, but Princess Mi didn't know what it was, so Wu Jiu coaxed her and said, "Take the medicine obediently, it's fine, you'll vomit in a while, and you'll be fine."
Princess Mi passed out just now, and she didn't hear what they said about the worm, so she didn't know anything about it, so she nodded, asked Wu Jiao to support her, and drank the medicine.
The medicine was sour and smelly, and it choked the nose indescribably. As soon as Princess Mi drank it, she immediately "vomited" and wanted to vomit.
Tang Wu quickly said: "Don't spit it out now, bear with it."
Princess Mi tried her best to endure, her face was covered with sweat, and she couldn't hold it anymore for a while, she vomited on the couch with a "wow", Wu Jiao didn't dislike her, and patted her on the back, the eunuch and the eunuch behind The maids rushed up to help.
Princess Mi vomited three mouthfuls in a row, and her stomach was almost empty. At this time, she heard the sound of "giggling" and felt something scratching in her throat. She vomited again and cried in fright. A big bug spit out from his mouth.
Princess Mi turned pale with fright and almost fainted, Tang Wu said: "Also, try to spit it out."
Princess Mi saw that there were worms in her mouth, and Wu Tang said there were more. Although she was sick and uncomfortable, she quickly cooperated and vomited vigorously, and then spit it out again, a total of three big worms.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, Wu Jiao hurriedly shouted: "Catch it quickly and burn it with fire."
The eunuch and maid rushed over to catch the worms, threw the worms into the basin, and directly lit the fire. Everyone was so busy that they finally burned the worms clean.
After Princess Mi vomited, she was so frightened that she burst into tears and almost fainted from sobbing. She had just been tortured by illness and her body was already weak, but now she really fainted when she cried.
Wu Jiu quickly caught Princess Mi, and Tang Wu said, "It's okay, let the princess sleep for a while."
The palace people hurriedly changed the bed, because the bed was already vomited badly, so Wu Jiao simply picked up Princess Mi and put her in another room in the courtyard, letting her rest first.
Looking at Princess Mi's pale face, Wu Jiao's eyes were very gloomy. Just now, Princess Mi's illness was exactly the same as Xiong Fei's fraudulent corpse, whether it was the body spasms or the "giggle" laughter in his throat, they were all exactly the same.
What does this mean?It shows that Xiong Pei is not a corpse fraud at all, nor is it that he will die in peace, but that someone has planted insects on Xiong Pei's corpse. Just now Tang Wu also said that the insects are not afraid of antiseptics, so they can breed in Xiong Pei's body, not only that, I'm afraid it was also this bug that gnawed on the coffin.
Someone planted bugs on King Chu’s body, the purpose was to cheat King Chu’s corpse to guide public opinion, and the most direct person was probably Peng Yu, who made full use of his Bu Yin’s ability to stand up and guide public opinion at that time. The convenience of the job.
Wu Jiu squinted his eyes, thinking that Peng Yu suggested that he should guard the spirit at that time. I am afraid that Peng Yu wanted him to guard the dead body with worms for nine days, even if he was not infected with worms.
But he didn't expect that Princess Mi was so weak that she was infected with the bug first, and she also got sick, which Tang Wu saw.
Thinking about it carefully, Xiong Pei's body was cheated twice. The first time was when the maid added incense when she was on duty at night, so the king of Chu's body suddenly started knocking on the coffin. In fact, it was because insects were crawling.
The second time the corpse was fraudulent was when Princess Mi was present. Princess Mi was worshiping at that time, and she might also be offering incense, which caused the sudden restlessness of the insects. The insects crawled to the mouth of the corpse and made a clucking sound.
In order to verify whether what he thought was correct, Wu Jiu found the maid who was following Princess Mi today and asked her what Princess Mi was doing.
The palace maid immediately said: "The princess was offering incense at that time! The decision is absolutely correct, the servant girl saw it very clearly!"
As soon as Wu Jiu heard it, he confirmed his own thoughts. It was a good plan to let the body be faked, and the most simple and common spices were used. If it wasn't for Tang's outstanding witch doctor skills, he probably wouldn't have known that this common incense could Stimulate bugs.
Everyone was busy until it was almost dawn, Princess Mi was still resting, she was crying in her dream because she was frightened, Wu Jiao couldn't bear it, but there was nothing she could do, there was still morning court today, Wu Jiao He planned to swindle Peng Yu to see if he could catch the mastermind behind the scenes.
Wu Jiu asked Tang Wu to stay and take care of Princess Mi, and hurried back to the small bedroom with the eunuch to prepare for the morning court.
It was already late for Wu Jiu to return to the small dormitory, time was running out, and he was about to go to court soon, Wu Jiu was going to change clothes, when he walked into the inner hall of the small dormitory, he saw Qihou sleeping on the couch, he hadn't woken up yet, frowning Frowning, as if sleeping restlessly.
Wu Jiu felt that it might be because Qihou didn't sleep well last night. After standing outside Princess Mi's courtyard for so long, he naturally didn't sleep well, so he didn't plan to wake Qihou up.
Wu Jiu had changed his clothes and was about to leave immediately, when he suddenly heard Qi Hou's "Ho!!", he sat up abruptly, stretched out his hand to press his stomach, his face looked terribly painful, and at the same time his hand was still moving. He convulsed and trembled, his tough face instantly turned pale, and big beads of sweat rolled down his face.
Wu Jiao was taken aback and said, "What's wrong?"
Qihou quickly waved his hands and said, "It's all right... Is it dawn? Is the second brother going to court today... Hey!"
Before Qihou finished speaking, he suddenly gasped and almost fell to the ground.
Wu Jiao was even more surprised, and rushed over. After all, something happened to Princess Mi just now. Wu Jiao was once bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of well ropes, even Qihou.
Qihou clutched his stomach, gasping for breath non-stop, with cold sweat on his forehead, it seemed that the situation was not good.
Wu Jiao supported him, and said anxiously, "What's the matter? Are you uncomfortable? Stomach pain?"
Qi Hou nodded with difficulty, he couldn't stand anymore, and fell to the ground suddenly, his hands were twitching and trembling because of the severe pain.
Wu Jiu saw that the symptoms were the same as that of Princess Mi. He quickly stood up and looked around. When he saw the incense burning in the temple, he quickly went over and extinguished the incense. He also threw it into the water basin and said to the eunuch: : "Go and call Tang Wu over!"
The eunuch ran away in a hurry, rushing all the way to Princess Mi's side, Wu Jiao didn't have time to go to court, he helped Qihou to lie down on the couch, Qihou didn't know what happened to him, since last night, in fact, he I felt uncomfortable in my stomach, and I thought that my stomach was spoiled by eating, so I didn't say it.
Qihou can be much more patient than Princess Mi. Although he is a nobleman of the Qi State, he has swallowed his anger since he was a child, so he is not spoiled at all. He was busy, and Qi Hou didn't want to make trouble for him.
Unexpectedly, the pain is so unbearable all of a sudden, Qihou is planning to have a stomach problem, and it will pass after a while, Wu Jiao heard from him that he felt uncomfortable last night, otherwise Wu Jiao asked Qihou to go back to the small bedroom, and Qihou would be honest Actually went back, I am afraid that Marquis Qi was already very uncomfortable at that time, so he went back obediently.
Wu Jiao saw that Qihou's face was pale, he was very anxious, and his face was full of fury. Tang Wu was still with Princess Mi and didn't come over. Although the incense was gone, Qihou still had a stomachache and his face was pale, but he laughed pickily. He smiled and said: "Second brother, it's okay, you go to the court first, you are enthroned, if you don't go to the court, the gang of doctors Ziqing will catch you short."
Qi Hou's face was so ugly, and he asked Wu Jiao to go to the court, Wu Jiao trembled with anger, and shouted: "What nonsense, shut up!"
Qi Hou was scolded mercilessly by Wu Jiu, but he was not angry at all, instead he felt happy, because Wu Jiu cared about him very much like that.
Wu Jiao saw Qihou smiling palely, and said angrily, "When you see what you vomit, you won't be able to laugh anymore."
Qihou didn't know, so naturally he didn't know what was vomited out. Tangwu soon ran over, sweating profusely, holding a medicine box. The medicine had been prepared in it. He washed it with hot water and asked Qihou to take it. Down.
Qihou drank it honestly, but felt that the stench was unbearable, not as honest as Princess Mi, she was about to vomit immediately, and after holding it back for a while, she vomited out with a "vomit".
The eunuchs and maids present were all shocked with "Ho!!", the worm was bigger than what Princess Mi vomited out, because Qihou could bear it, the worm grew so big.
Qihou didn't expect that what he vomited out were worms, and his face immediately turned ugly, followed by another sound, and he spit out a few more mouthfuls in a row, and again he vomited out a big worm. Fortunately, Qihou also vomited out two worms. , but less than Princess Mi.
Qihou's complexion has turned from pale to blue, whoever spit out such a big worm must have turned blue.
Although Qihou was strong, he couldn't do it after vomiting. He fell ill like a mountain, and fell asleep on the couch with a very ugly face.
Wu Jiu had already missed the time for going to court, so he didn't go there again. Instead, he asked the eunuch to inform the high officials that the court was canceled today and will be made up tomorrow.
Wu Jiu had just ascended the throne, and suddenly he did not go to court. Upon hearing this matter, the senior officials started discussing it one after another, and the discussions were extremely heated.
Wu Jiu didn't care about this, Qi Hou's face was really ugly, if he was asked to go to court, he might directly tear Peng Yu up, although there was no serious evidence to prove that it was Peng Yu, but Wu Jiao knew that he was not a calm person, the real I am an impulsive person, more impulsive than anyone else.
Wu Jiu looked at Qihou's drowsy state, his eyes were full of haze, he stretched out his hand to call for Ziqing, and said, "Go and investigate the matter of the bugs, especially Peng Yu."
Ziqing nodded and said, "Yes, I'm going right now, Xiaochen."
As he said, he quickly exited the hall, Wu Jiu stood by Qihou's side, Qihou had been in a coma, after about an hour, he slowly woke up, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Wu Jiu.
Wu Jiu was still wearing the black court robe, but he took off the crown and threw it crookedly aside.
Qihou narrowed his eyes and said, "What time is it?"
Wu Jiu told him that he had been in a coma for more than an hour. Qi Hou's eyes were full and he said, "Second brother, you really didn't go to court?"
Wu Jiu rolled his eyes at him and said, "Of course I'm here to guard you, how can I go to court."
When Qihou heard this, the corners of his mouth went up to his ears, he stretched out his hand to grab Wu Jiu's hand, and said, "Second brother, you are so kind."
Wu Jiu heard what he said so nasty, but he didn't let go of his hand, after all, Qi Hou's complexion is not too good.
Wu Jiu said, "How do you feel, are you still uncomfortable?"
Qihou shook his head and said pitifully, "It's just that I feel weak, maybe I vomited."
Wu Jiu told the story again that Xiong Pei's body probably had worms, and both Princess Mi and Qihou were infected with worms, which is why they suddenly fell ill.
When Qihou heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said, "Second Brother, Peng Yu has been urging you to guard Xiong Pei's spirit before. Is there something wrong with him?"
Wu Jiu nodded and said, "Your Majesty and Jiu want to go together, and Jiu also thinks that there is something wrong with Peng Yu. I'm afraid he has set a trap long ago and wants to put Jiu to death."
Qihou's face suddenly became gloomy, he sneered, and said, "This is Peng Yu."
Wu Jiu said: "But there is no evidence at the moment, and Jiu has asked Ziqing to investigate this matter secretly. We should not startle the snake. The matter of guarding the spirit must continue, and the main thing is to appease Peng Yu."
Qihou nodded and said: "If Peng Yu really has such thoughts, Gu will tear him apart."
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "Your Majesty is a patient, so I should leave this kind of thing to my brother."
When Qihou heard that it was the first time for Wu Jiu to claim to be his elder brother, he couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Yes, elder brother."
Wu Jiu was just talking and joking, unexpectedly, Qi Hou called his brother coquettishly, which made Wu Jiu's goosebumps pop out of him.
When Marquis Qi was sick, he naturally wanted to act like a spoiled child, not only acted like a spoiled child, but also played tricks, taking the opportunity to grab Wu Jiu, like a dog's skin plaster, and would not let Wu Jiu go anywhere.
Ziqing came back soon, but did not find out what Peng Yu had to do with this incident. Ziqing said: "Peng Yu has been bewitching the doctors, saying that it was the late king who died without peace, so he wanted the king to go up to guard the spirit, but There is nothing else to do.”
Wu Jiao frowned, and said, "Could it be that the widow is wrong? It's not Peng Yu, Peng Yu just wants to pick up melons?"
Qihou also frowned, and said, "Ziqing, go and find out who Peng Yu has met these days."
Ziqing nodded, and immediately ran out to continue the investigation.
In the afternoon, Ziqing came over and reported to Marquis Qi and Wu Jiu that Peng Yu had met many people that day, most of them were fooling around, saying that the former king died without resting his eyes, etc., but it was strange that Peng Yu also met an eunuch.
Ziqing said: "This eunuch and minister know each other, and we met yesterday, and it turns out to be the eunuch next to the princess."
When Wu Jiu heard this, he narrowed his eyes and said, "The one with the princess?"
Qihou also squinted his eyes. The two of them seemed to want to go together. After all, Peng Yu was really clean in this matter, as if he hadn't participated in it at all. However, Peng Yu was the one who benefited the most from this matter. And Peng Yu is Bu Yin, how could it be such a coincidence that such demagogic things happened as soon as Peng Yu took office?If it is a coincidence, don't say that Wu Jiu doesn't believe it, Qihou doesn't believe it either.
Wu Jiao was going to see Princess Mi and inquired about the eunuch, just in time to see how Princess Mi was doing. Qi Hou struggled and wanted to go, Wu Jiao said helplessly: "That's the princess's boudoir. , it is not suitable for you to go in as a man."
Qihou said: "It doesn't matter if it's not suitable, it's an eventful time, so I have to follow my second brother."
Wu Jiu said, "But it was you, Your Majesty, who had the accident just now."
Qi Hou said reluctantly: "Peng Yu came after the second brother, Gu and Princess Mi just got caught by accident."
Wu Jiu couldn't say no to him, and as soon as he refused to let him follow, Qi Hou pretended to be in pain, and simply grabbed Wu Jiao and refused to let him go.
Wu Jiu really had no other choice in the end, why didn't he know that Qihou was actually a little expert who played tricks? !
Wu Jiu had no choice but to take Qi Hou to find Princess Mi. In order to avoid suspicion, the two of them naturally brought many eunuchs and court ladies there, in the name of visiting the sick.
Princess Mi fell into a coma last night, and woke up this morning, her body is better, but because of the torture of illness, Princess Mi looks very haggard, not as good as Qihou.
When Princess Mi saw them coming, she dragged Wu Jiao and started to cry, apparently she was still scared, after all, Princess Mi saw big worms crawling out of her mouth, and three of them crawled out at once.
When Qi Hou saw that Princess Mi and Wu Jiu were close, he felt as if he was jealous, but there was nothing he could do. Who made Princess Mi be Wu Jiu's niece?
Qi Hou was sitting on the side, watching Wu Jiao comforting Princess Mi, that was called being careful and gentle, Qi Hou started to be jealous again, thinking that he should cry too, which made the second brother gentle?
Thinking about it, Qi Hou coughed twice, because he really didn't know what it was like to cry, maybe the second brother would dislike him even more...
Wu Jiao came over because he actually wanted to ask Princess Mi about the eunuchs around her.
Wu Jiao asked everyone to leave first, and then asked Princess Mi. When Princess Mi heard him ask about the eunuch beside her, she quickly said: "Yes, he has been following Mi. Yesterday he went to worship the king's father, and he followed. Uncle, what's the matter?"
When Wu Jiu heard this, this person had been following Princess Mi, because Princess Mi belonged to her daughter's family, so the maids served most around her, but there were also a few eunuchs who followed, but the maids were still closer, so everyone paid attention to the maids. Did not pay attention to what the eunuch was doing at that time.
Wu Jiao then asked Princess Mi whom she had contacted with in the past few days, Princess Mi said: "I haven't contacted anyone, I just went to the mourning hall twice, and the rest are in the house, and I haven't been anywhere."
When Wu Jiao heard this, he felt that there was something wrong with the eunuch. Just think about it, the eunuch next to Princess Mi was completely incompatible with Peng Yu.
Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes immediately, and Princess Mi asked suspiciously, "Uncle Wang?"
Wu Jiu said, "Call the eunuch in."
Although Princess Mi didn't know what he meant, she still complied and asked the eunuch to be called over.
The eunuch heard that the princess was calling him, so he came over quickly, and when he entered the door, before he could react, he heard Wu Jiu's order, and several ambushed soldiers immediately arrested him.
The eunuch turned pale with shock, and said, "Your Majesty, please spare me!"
Wu Jiu looked at the panic-stricken eunuch, and said with a smile, "What kind of life do you have?"
When the eunuch heard this, he was a little dazed, and immediately said: "No, no, nothing! Nothing!"
The eunuch seemed to have done something wrong, so he missed the first sentence.
Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes and shouted: "No? Are you willing to confess only if the widow orders torture?"
The eunuch was terrified, but kept shaking his head in denial, and said, "Your Majesty, my servant... I have never done anything. I have been doing my best to serve the princess, and I have never done anything else! !"
As he was talking, Qi Hou led someone in from the outside, and with a "boom!", he threw something on the case, which was wrapped in cloth.
"Wow!" A lot of valuables were scattered from inside, such as gold, silver and jewellery, as well as women's hairpin headgear, etc. When the cloth bag was scattered, it shone golden.
It turned out that when the eunuch was called over just now, Marquis Qi had already brought people to search. The eunuch did not live alone in the same house, there were many eunuchs living in the same house. He had a small cabinet. Open it After that, there were many things piled up outside, but when I dug inside, it turned out to be a big bag of treasures.
Qi Hou smiled coldly and said: "I didn't expect you to hide everything, and you have a lot of wealth. These things are probably more than the salary of a Chinese doctor?"
The eunuch trembled when he heard this, and said, "This...this is all...is..."
He talked for a long time, but he didn't say anything, and indeed he couldn't say anything, because none of these things were rewarded by Princess Mi, and none of the women's hairpin headdresses belonged to Princess Mi, and Princess Mi didn't have such a big hand. Don't look at her as a princess, but now she has fallen a lot, and she gave Li Ji her own things. Naturally, she has nothing to reward the palace people.
The eunuch hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, Princess, you have pity on this little minister, who is... innocent..."
Wu Jie smiled faintly and said: "Innocent? That's good. Since you are innocent, explain where the money came from. It makes sense. The widow will naturally let you go and return the money to you. "
The eunuch was still trembling when he heard this, because he couldn't explain it at all, Wu Jiao immediately shouted: "Why don't you say it!"
He said, "Boom!!" He patted the table, and the eunuch was so frightened that he knelt down, kowtowed and said, "Your minister knows your mistake! My minister knows your mistake! I beg the king to forgive me!" Minister!"
When he said this, it was a disguised admission. Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "You also laid the worms on the late king's body?"
Princess Mi was shocked and stared at the eunuch. She didn't know that there was an inner ghost around her, and she actually tampered with the dead king's body. This is a disrespectful thing.
The eunuch looked desperate, and said: "Yes...it was the little minister who did it, but the little minister was forced and helpless! The little minister was really forced, and the little minister dared not be so disrespectful. I beg the king to forgive the little minister. !"
Wu Jiu said: "It's not impossible to forgive you, just tell me who forced you to do it."
When Wu Jiao asked this question, the eunuch suddenly trembled, his teeth clashed up and down, and he seemed to feel terrible, his eyes flickered, as if he was avoiding it, he lowered his head and dared not speak, but shouted: "Your Majesty!" Let me go, my little minister! Let me go, my little minister!"
Seeing the eunuch crying, Wu Jiao didn't say anything, but sneered and said, "If you don't say it, I understand it very well in my heart, but Mr. Peng Yupeng?"
When he said this, Princess Mi was taken aback. Thinking back, if it was Peng Yu's words, then Peng Yu would have invited Wu Jiu to guard the spirit for nine days.
Princess Mi is not stupid, although she is usually a little innocent, but she still turned her head around, and she figured it out immediately, Peng Yu didn't do anything, but found the eunuch beside him, why?Because Princess Mi is the direct daughter of the former king, Princess Mi must have paid homage to the former king the most times, so it is easier for people around her to attack, and it is not easy to be discovered. If they are found, they can clear the relationship.
When the eunuch heard the word "Peng Yu", he almost fainted from fright, and immediately kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please spare this little minister! Go around the little minister! I don't want to Die! Princess! Princess, save the servant!"
Seeing that he was stubborn, Princess Mi said, "If you tell me who instigated you, then Uncle Wang will let you go. If you are so stubborn, I can't save you."
Princess Mi has always had the softest ears, but now she doesn't speak good words to him. The eunuch looked desperate and cried and said: "I don't want to die, I can't say it, even if I say it... I can't even say it..." Your Majesty can't touch that person... I have no choice but to die!"
Wu Jiu and Qi Hou frowned at the same time, Wu Jiu, as the King of Chu, couldn't touch that person, who is that person?If it was Peng Yu, Wu Jiu could have directly investigated him. Could it be that he was with other people besides Peng Yu?
Wu Jiao frowned and said, "If you say it, how can you know that the widow can't handle him? In this world, there are people who the widow can't handle? You look down on the widow too much."
The eunuch cried and said: "It's really not that the minister underestimated the king, but...but that person has a life-saving talisman! Woooooo, my lord, please spare me!"
Wu Jiao sneered, and said: "I will spare you? You don't know that, the worm eggs are very easy to infect. If you lay the worms with your own hands, you may have already been infected. From the beginning, you are a dead man, not a widow. If you don't spare you, you will survive."
Hearing this, the eunuch was stunned, as if recalling the scene of Princess Mi being tortured to death, he trembled.
The eunuch hurriedly covered his stomach, as if his stomach was hurting. Because of the previous incident, Princess Mi’s house did not dare to light incense, because the bugs would not be restless, even if there were bugs in the eunuch’s stomach, they would not be disturbed at this time. won't happen.
Wu Jiu just lied to the eunuch, wanting him to know that he was always a pawn and could throw it away at any time, so there was no need to keep it a secret from those people.
The eunuch immediately turned pale, and knelt on the ground, his whole body limp. Wu Jiu said: "You have also seen that, if you confess, the medical officer next to the widow can help you get the bug out. If you don't confess, you will only die. One, and it still hurts to death."
Wu Jiu said it very coldly, as if he was talking about a very ordinary thing, while the eunuch was trembling, as if he was struggling, and finally paralyzed, tremblingly said: "Young minister...you confess! I beg the king to protect you!" Life for the servant!"
Wu Jiu narrowed his eyes and said, "Say it."
At this time, everyone suddenly heard the voice of a palace maid outside, it was the maid next to Princess Mi.
The maid said: "Your Majesty, the King is inside, you can't go in now."
Immediately, Li Ji's voice said: "I heard that the princess is ill, so I'm so worried, why the king can visit the sick, but I can't? You court lady is so unruly, bold, escape me, and move my fetal gas , can you afford to pay for your poor life!?"
"My lady, you can't go in, my lady! My lady..."
The maid stopped Li Ji, but she couldn't stop her at all, and she didn't dare to touch her. Li Ji walked in quickly, and as Li Ji came, a very strong fragrance came over her face.
As soon as Wu Jiu smelled the fragrance, his eyes darkened immediately, and he said, "Oops!"
As soon as he said this, Tang Wu also thought it was bad, Li Ji was actually covered with a very thick incense powder, the incense powder was very unusual, it had the same smell as ordinary burning incense, but it seemed to be more volatile.
Li Ji didn't even come in, and the scent was already very strong. In an instant, the eunuch kneeling on the ground suddenly yelled "Ahhhh!", "Gudong!" Spasms, whitening of the eyes.
Wu Jiu was just defrauding the eunuch, thinking that the eunuch might have caught the worm when he killed the worm, but he was right. The eunuch also had worms in his stomach, and his reaction was comparable to that of Princess Mi and Qi. Hou was much more intense. As soon as he smelled the fragrance of Li Ji, he twitched two or three times, just two or three times. He kicked his legs suddenly, his eyes turned white, and he died like this.
Wu Jiao was taken aback, and shouted twice: "Tang'er!"
When Tang Wu rushed over, the eunuch had suddenly died suddenly, and there was a "cluck, cluck" sound in his throat.
Li Ji walked in at this moment, and suddenly saw the eunuch with white eyes, "Ah!" she screamed, "What's the matter!? What's the matter?"
Wu Jiao glanced over, Li Ji was holding her big belly, one hand was supporting her waist, her body was smeared with rich powder, exuding a strong fragrance, Wu Jiao's eyes fell on Li Ji's stomach, suddenly a sudden In a flash, he understood what the eunuch meant.
The eunuch said that the man had a life-saving talisman, and even Wu Jiu, who is the king of Chu, could not bring that person to justice, so the eunuch did not say anything about it.
And when Wu Jiu saw Li Ji's belly, he suddenly understood what the life-saving talisman was. It was naturally the flesh and blood of the former king, the child in Li Ji's belly!
Because this incident was probably not planned by Peng Yu alone, but by Li Ji.
Li Ji came just in time, and before the eunuch could say anything, Li Ji ran over wearing a powder that could make the bugs restless, just in time to kill and silence her.
Li Ji pretended to be terrified, and hurried out of the palace. Princess Mi was still in such pain seeing an eunuch die in front of her. She had never seen such a thing before, and she trembled with fright.
Wu Jiu had a cold face, the whole thing seemed to be clear, but the witness was dead, only a pile of jewels were found, and no one could prove that it belonged to Li Ji and Peng Yu, Li Ji was obviously confident.
Wu Jiu comforted Princess Mi and ordered the eunuch's body to be carried away, then walked out of the princess's courtyard and headed for the small bedroom, with Qi Hou following behind.
When the two of them entered the small bedroom, Wu Jiu sneered and said, "What a Peng Yu, what a Li Ji, do you really treat me like a monkey!?"
Seeing that Wu Jiu was angry, Marquis Qi hurriedly said: "Second brother, don't be angry, your body cannot be angry, don't make yourself angry."
Wu Jiao was so angry that they first played tricks, saying that the king of Chu would not die in peace, obviously to arouse public opinion, and then asked Wu Jiao to guard the spirit, wanting to infect Wu Jiao with bugs, and even harmed Princess Mi and even Marquis Qi. How could Jiu not be angry? In the end, Li Ji came down, because Li Ji had a child of the former king in her stomach. If Wu Jiu had moved her without conclusive evidence, the public opinion of Chu State would be overwhelmed.
Even if Wu Jiu had conclusive evidence, as the eunuch said, there was no way to touch Li Ji before she gave birth.
Wu Jiao was so angry that he raised his hand and "Boom!" and overturned the table next to him. Seeing that he was so angry, Qi Hou felt very distressed, and quickly hugged him in his arms, comforting him and said, "Okay, second brother, want to There is no need to be in a hurry to catch them, don't let the second brother get angry."
Wu Jiu was out of breath, and he calmed down for a while before he recovered. Qi Hou said: "The most urgent thing is to let Xiong Pei be buried as soon as possible."
Wu Jiu nodded, it was natural.
Because there was no court that day, and he was going to court early the next morning, Wu Jiu came out in a black court robe with a very cold expression on his face. When all the officials saw it, they all looked at each other, and they immediately saw that the king is today. If you're in a bad mood, it's better not to provoke her.
Wu Jiu sat down and waved his hand. The eunuch beside him immediately took out a bronze pot and put it on the floor of the main hall. on the ground.
Soon the eunuch came over again and lit a stick of incense next to him. This action made Peng Yu's face turn pale. Sure enough, after a while, the pot on the ground began to "bang, bang, bang, bang". Tight, the jar is about to fall apart.
Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay, the jar was not only jumping by itself, but also made a grinning sound similar to "giggle". When everyone heard it, they suddenly remembered, isn't this the laughter of the former king?
Doctor Qing was at a loss as he looked at the bouncing bronze pots on the ground, all of them looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Wu Jiu said lightly: "Doctor Peng, as Bu Yin, you have always said that you are the ghost of the former king, so you have come back. Now tell me, what is the matter with this jar? Could it be that the soul of the former king is still alive?" Attached to the jar?"
Everyone immediately looked at Peng Yu. Peng Yu was Bu Yin, and he had the most say in this matter, but Peng Yu's face was pale.
He had already received a notice from Li Ji yesterday that the eunuch who killed the bug had died. Fortunately, before the eunuch could say anything, he was killed by Li Ji with a large dose of face powder, so it was impossible to testify against them again.
However, Peng Yu is still very worried, this is not, worrying early in the morning
