There's A Beauty

Youshu Xiaolu calmed down the group of people with a few hands, then walked to the side of the couch, and covered the queen's face with a white handkerchief.No matter what mistakes this woman has made, she is the master's mother after all, and she brings life to the master. Based on these two points alone, Youshu is grateful to her and will avenge her.

Although the Ninth Prince tried his best to bear it, he couldn't help showing a gloomy look. He also walked to the side of the couch and stroked the empress' cold back of his hand.

Emperor Zhongkang waved his sleeves, intending to send everyone away so that the queen could have a moment of peace.At this moment, the sixth prince, who had never said a word, said word by word, "I don't believe it! The murderer is obviously Zhao Youshu. Just because he is a member of the old nine and played a few tricks that street performers usually do, he is cleared of suspicion." Did you let the queen mother and the imperial sister die in vain? I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it no matter what! Unless he comes up with real evidence, I will go to the Dengwen drum, kowtow in front of the clan’s mansion, and let the whole family go to Beijing. people are my lords."

Everyone turned their heads in unison, with surprised expressions, only the Ninth Prince had expected it, and said softly, "You don't pretend anymore?"

"All relatives are dead, what's the use of keeping this life?" The sixth prince sneered, saying that he no longer regarded Lao Jiu and Emperor Zhongkang as relatives.

Emperor Zhongkang was furious and was about to reprimand, but he heard Youshu say, "The evidence you want will be here immediately." Then he looked at his master and asked in a low voice, "Can you send someone to send the body of Princess Mingzhu into the palace?" Is it? Also, let them release my mother quickly, she is wronged."

The nine princes agreed one by one and sent people to do it.When all the officials heard that there was another corpse to be transported in, they were all a little apprehensive, and they couldn't escape even if they wanted to.What is the boundary of the palace?How can I let you come and leave as soon as you say?If the person who died was not the mother of a country, but the murderer was the future princess, and it was a matter of Guozuo, they would not have dared to make such a fuss.

Within half an hour, the bloated corpse of Princess Mingzhu had been placed in Fengluan Palace.The main hall, which was originally brightly lit with wide open windows, has now hung white banners and lit joss sticks. It looks a bit eerie under the smog.The courtiers were all huddled in the corner and did not dare to speak, let alone look around, but several royal family members walked over slowly with solemn expressions.

When the sixth prince was insane, no one paid any attention to him. Even his uncle's family never gave him a bite of food or a tael of silver. On the contrary, the domineering, arrogant and willful Mingzhu Countyism took him in without hesitation. He was also blamed by his in-laws a lot.He already had a deep relationship with Princess Mingzhu, and he was kind enough to take him in for his life. Hearing the news of her and his mother's death, how could he still pretend?He knelt down heavily with a plop, and tears flowed before he spoke.

Emperor Zhongkang also couldn't bear it, after all, it was his own flesh and blood, how could he really leave her alone when his temper was over?Especially when she died with a child, and a wonderful life to come.The father and son did not cry aloud, but shed tears silently, which made the officials feel sad when they saw it.

However, the Ninth Prince and the Fifth Young Master Zhao had calm faces, showing no sadness.Forget it, Mr. Fifth Zhao actually took out a dagger from his sleeve pocket and gestured at Princess Mingzhu. What was he doing?

"What do you want to do?" The courtiers didn't dare to ask, but the sixth prince burst into anger, and grabbed Youshu's wrist with all his might, wishing he could break it.

The Ninth Prince was about to save the siege, when he saw Youshu switch the dagger to the other side so fast that the naked eye could not tell, lifted it up and quickly cut a slit in the face of Princess Mingzhu, warning each word, "Look carefully, Is this corpse your sister?" He said as he peeled off the skin on both sides along the incision.

This move was truly shocking, causing the sixth prince to throw him away suddenly, and took two steps back. With this retreat, his eyes widened, and he happened to see another layer of skin exposed under the stripped skin. What's going on?

Emperor Zhongkang and the Ninth Prince also saw this scene and hurriedly surrounded them.After Youshu got her freedom, she slowly took off Princess Mingzhu's clothes and continued to peel her skin.The timid courtier turned his back and shrank in the corner, and the bold one realized that something was wrong, so he moved over cautiously.Cheng Engong was not very courageous, but because it was his niece who died, how could he ignore it, so he had to bite the bullet and move forward. When he got closer and looked, he was so frightened that he fell to the ground, "Why, why is this? The princess's skin How can there be a skin underneath?"

Um?What does it mean to have a skin?Realizing the frightening meaning hidden in this sentence, the courtiers who dare not look directly at each other trembled and almost fainted.

"This person seems to be the second wife of Anlehou Mansion!" Someone shouted, and more people recognized this skin.How could a well-behaved princess become the second wife of the Hou Mansion?This matter is getting more and more mysterious!They didn't have enough brains, and they were completely stunned when they couldn't figure it out.

The sixth prince originally wanted to stop Youshu from blaspheming the imperial sister's body, but he couldn't even stand when he saw this scene, he rolled and crawled back, and then shook like chaff.Who is this dead body?

As bold as Zhong Kangdi, he turned his head away with a livid face, not daring to look any further.

Youshu continued to move.He made a cut in the middle of the second layer of skin, and slowly peeled it off, revealing the third layer, beckoning, "Come over and help me identify, who is this?"

No one dared to move, only the Ninth Prince leaned over to take a closer look, and guessed, "It's been many years, and my memory is a little fuzzy. If I'm not mistaken, it should be Mrs. Li's eldest daughter. I met her at the palace banquet five years ago." One side." Then he waved to the outside.

Master Li, who was hiding in the corner, froze upon hearing this, but he didn't dare to disobey his orders. He moved every step, trembling, and managed to get close to him for a quick glance, before hitting the ground with a bang.The guard stepped forward to check his pulse, saying that he fainted from fright.

"It seems that it is indeed Miss Li." Youshu nodded and continued to peel, her expression always calm.

A courtier had already knelt down and kowtowed to him from a distance, shouting hoarsely, "Master An Guo, please don't peel it off! Let's stop this matter!" I always felt that something terrible would happen if I continued to peel it off.

Before Youshu could answer, the Ninth Prince said coldly, "Don't you want to see the evidence? Then let you have a good look. Who is this corpse, you must check it out today, otherwise Youshu and Mrs. Zhao Who will wash the dirty water?"

Emperor Zhongkang, who was also planning to stop Youshu, coughed, then retreated to the outside, waved his hands and said, "My chest is tight, go take a breath. Sixth, don't you want evidence, go and look carefully."

The sixth prince wanted to cry but had no tears, he wished he could bump his head and faint in the palace.Such a corpse, such a strange thing, has never been seen even in the most terrifying nightmare. If he had known this, he would have continued to pretend to be crazy, which is better than being frightened.

The human skin is already thin and extremely elastic, one piece covers another, and it covers dozens of pieces.An hour later, when Youshu finally peeled off all of them, revealing the rotten and blackened texture and internal organs, there was already a basin full of human skins beside him, and each piece was identified, and the guards were ordered to write it down on paper. .

"Look carefully at this list, what can you think of?" You Shu pried open the breastbone with the tip of a knife, showing the corrupt inner cavity to everyone.

No matter how courageous they were, they finally couldn't bear it at this moment. A group of ministers scrambled out of the hall, vomited on the railing, and smoked Zhongkang Emperor who was standing on the veranda for a long time.Seeing the miserable state of the people, he was even more afraid to go in, but he said righteously, "Continue to investigate the case after vomiting. Don't you want to avenge the queen? Do you want the murderer to be brought to justice? I will give you this chance."

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your important use." Everyone was in distress, but they still knelt down to accept the decree, and then you pushed me, I pushed you, squeezed each other, and entered the palace again tremblingly. Just a few steps away, the sixth prince was paralyzed in fear On the ground, there was a lot of yellow and white residue stuck to the front of the clothes, and I thought I had just vomited it.

"Come here." Youshu had already opened her chest, waiting for everyone to see, her eyes swept across the crowd, and she frowned, "Why didn't the sixth prince come? This evidence was specially shown to him, otherwise I'll just burn the body, it doesn't take much trouble."

Why didn't you say it earlier?Burn it! Hurry up and burn it!The ministers shouted in their hearts, but they didn't dare to show it on their faces. They all watched their noses, noses, noses and hearts, and waited in silence.It's not that they don't want to speak, but they are afraid of vomiting again.Youshu wanted to ask again, but the Ninth Prince had already raised his hand and ordered the guards to bring the Sixth Prince over.

The sixth prince's hands and feet were weak, hanging on the bodyguard like a noodle, his head was turned 180 degrees, but he refused to look at the corpse.The Ninth Prince pinched his jaw to straighten him, he immediately closed his eyes and resisted to the end.

"Sixth, the death of the imperial sister was wronged, you should take a look." The Ninth Prince had no choice but to persuade him.

The sixth prince trembled violently, and it took a quarter of an hour before he finally calmed down and opened his eyes to look.I saw a mass of rotting internal organs in the open chest cavity, which was pitch black, bloody, and smelly, and I couldn't tell them apart at all.This scene, this smell, was really horrifying, it made the sixth prince who had just mustered up his courage to vomit again with a crash.Fortunately, the guards were prepared and immediately put the copper basin under him.

All the ministers standing aside covered their faces with their hands, couldn't bear to look directly at them, and complained about the sixth prince and Cheng Engong in their hearts.This matter is what the fairy teacher said, just bury the queen and the princess, and let Mrs. Zhao go, isn't it over?There are so many moths going to happen!

Youshu waited for the sixth prince to finish vomiting, then picked up the dagger, pointed at the internal organs with the tip of the knife, "How much can you understand?"

The sixth prince waved his hands repeatedly, vomited again and again, and wanted to kneel down to him, begging him to let him go.

Youshu shook her head, expressing regret for his IQ, and turned to Dali Siqing, who followed Cheng Engong to investigate the case, and said, "I remember that you are very good at autopsy?"

The normally bold Dali Siqing trembled suddenly, then waved his hands stiffly, but saw that the Ninth Prince waved his sleeves, and two guards also carried him over, almost crutching his head on the corpse.As a last resort, he could only take a quick look.

"From the degree of internal rot, can you judge the time of death?" You Shu asked quietly.

The stench of corpses was too strong, and I don't know how Fifth Young Master Zhao and Ninth Prince could bear it.The superior person is indeed powerful!Dali Siqing said quickly while thinking wildly, "Judging from the degree of decay of internal organs, this person has been dead for at least two months."

"However, it is covered with dozens of layers of skin, which can more or less protect the internal organs, so the death time may be longer." Youshu added.It was precisely because of these interlocking skin bags that tightly locked the rancid smell of the internal organs that he could not identify the monster in the first place.Now, the skinned monster has long lost its obese appearance, and has turned into a skinny skeleton with no fetus in its womb.The so-called pregnancy is just to cover up the rapidly swollen and deformed appearance.

Youshu also thought for a long time before making this judgment boldly. Of course, it may not be accurate, but the abnormality of internal organs is enough as evidence.He continued to ask, "The internal organs have been corrupted, can you still distinguish those? Come and see what's missing?"

Dali Siqing, who had already turned his face away, had no choice but to continue to observe. After a while, he said in surprise, "Unexpectedly, the heart is missing."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course I can be sure."

"Okay, you step back."

The minister of Dali Temple, as if he was receiving an amnesty, crawled around among the officials to find a sense of security, but because of the smell of corpses on his body, he was very disgusted by being pushed around.Come to think of it, after today, he would not want to settle the case for a long time, especially the examination of the corpse.

You Shu looked at the sixth prince, and asked slowly, "May I ask, is a person who is covered in hundreds of layers of skin, whose internal organs have been rotten for three months, and who still lacks a heart, is she still alive?"

The sixth prince's head was completely muddled, and he couldn't answer at all.In order to prevent being called out again, Dali Temple Minister hid behind a certain minister and shouted, "How can she be considered alive? What's more, she can't be counted as a person! Mrs. Zhao's crime of murdering the royal family is nothing at all!"

Youshu was very satisfied with his performance, nodded and said, "Finally there is someone who understands. That's right, this thing lying here is not a human, but a monster. These skins are the spoils it scavenged after foraging to hide itself. Identity. It wears these skins to come and go in and out of your mansion at will, slaughtering your relatives. My mother has a safety amulet on her body, which blocks its attack, and it will suddenly fall to the ground. According to my judgment, the queen is dead. Twelve hours, think about yesterday at this time, Princess Mingzhu should have asked to see the queen? She was already dead at that time, what you saw was just an illusion."

Several court ladies hiding in the corner fainted after hearing this.

It was fine if he didn't say anything, the more he talked, the more panicked the officials felt, but they also yearned for the peace talisman in his mouth.What kind of power should it be to be able to kill such a terrifying monster?Could it be that the immortal master himself portrayed it?Can I have one over here?

When their lives were seriously threatened, these people didn't have the heart to find out the truth. They wished they could kneel at Youshu's feet, crying and begging him for a talisman.Even the sixth prince showed admiration and longing in his eyes, obviously completely overwhelmed.

Youshu ignored them, turned around and walked to the copper basin containing the leather pouch, threw a few karma talismans into it, then put her hands together, moved her fingertips together, and pinched a set of very mysterious and complicated formulas.Suddenly a purple flame burst out from the copper basin, and many black silhouettes faintly appeared in the flickering light spots. If there were familiar people, they would definitely be able to recognize their identities.

They first turned into blue smoke and lingered over the hall, wailing like weeping, and then they converged and circled each other, forming a black vortex and slowly disappearing.The flames illuminated everyone's terrified faces, but also made them shiver.

When the sun shone in again, the copper basin was empty, there was no purple flame, hundreds of human skins, and burnt black ash, as if everything before was an illusion.But everyone knows that this is not an illusion, but a real occurrence, because the skeleton covered with carrion is still placed on the bamboo mat.

Youshu finished saving the souls of the dead, and then threw the fire talisman on the skeleton, and said slowly, "Finally, I want to tell you one thing, this monster will never die as long as its heart is alive. Your task now is to search the whole city , secretly find it and bring it to me for disposal.”

The courtiers, who saw the body burnt to ashes, heard such bad news before they could breathe a sigh of relief, and almost passed away on the spot.Especially the commander of the forbidden army who was in charge of the defense of Gyeonggi, his face was very pale, and he said in a trembling voice, "Master, it is a monster, how can I catch it? Or, you can also give me an amulet?"

It's shameless to pretend to be public for personal gain!The officials were furious, and their knees itched slightly, wanting to kneel down and beg for the immortal master.

After a little consideration, Youshu gave him a talisman, then poured two drops of blood on the miniature picture of Shangjing that had already been made, and pointed out, "Follow the blood beads and you will meet a rotten dog. A net bag can subdue it. Remember, you must not loosen the rope on the way to bring it to me." Hua Luo took out a gold wire net from his sleeve pocket, on which were hung many small red bells.

The commander of the imperial army didn't dare to desecrate the treasure, so he quickly dried his hands to pick it up, and then strode away with his subordinates.

Emperor Zhongkang, who was waiting outside the corridor, had heard the conversation of several people, remembered the peace talisman Youshu had given him a few days ago, and immediately ran towards the Hall of Mental Cultivation, so anxious that Yu Chuan even forgot to summon him.If he had known that the peace talisman was so powerful, he wouldn't have thrown it aside casually, and he didn't know if it was taken away by the maid now.Yesterday the monster came to beg to see him, but because he was angry and drove him away, he changed to beg to see the queen.If it wasn't for this mistake, maybe the corpse with the knife in the chest would be replaced by another person!

The more Emperor Zhongkang thought about it, the more frightened he became. From then on, he never dared to misplace the peace talisman Youshu had given him. Even when he was taking a bath, he had to hang it in a small glass bottle around his neck.

Because there are monsters rampant in Beijing, threatening everyone's lives at all times, but people forget the death of the Queen and Princess Mingzhu.Before catching the monster, the royal family did not dare to mourn, so they had to find an ice coffin to store the queen's body.As for where the body of Princess Mingzhu went, I'm afraid only the monster knows.

After waiting for a day and night in fear, the commander of the imperial army lived up to expectations and entered the palace with a half-rotten dog wrapped in a gold wire net.Youshu didn't burn the monster to death immediately, but put it in an iron cage, and surrounded it with an enchantment, so that it couldn't escape.

"Master Immortal, what do you plan to do with it?" the commander of the forbidden army asked in a low voice, with fanatical admiration that he didn't even know about.

The rest of the ministers were invited by the Ninth Prince to watch the monsters in the East Palace, and they complained endlessly.They had already written a post to plead guilty to the immortal master, and some people went to the Zhao Mansion to kowtow and bow down in person, making offerings to the immortal master as if they were their ancestors.In the future, what the immortal master says will be what they say, and they will all believe it. Isn't that okay?Why scare them again?It wasn't until this moment that they understood the Ninth Prince back then: it turned out that it was really painful to not be able to sleep at night, and it was easy to be dazed.

Youshu didn't intend to torment everyone, but he always had a single-minded mind. He always thought that since he took over the matter, he had to explain it clearly to everyone, so he called all the insiders.

He walked around the cage, nodded and said, "It's right. I don't know its species, but I know how it survives. As long as there is a piece of meat left in its heart, no matter what kind of animal takes it away, It can quickly parasitize in its body, and then hunt and kill human beings. As the saying goes, the shape complements the shape, so the heart of humans or animals should be its food, and it can transform into a human form through concocted skin, and walk around in the world to do evil. "

"Master Immortal, don't talk about it, hurry up and dispose of it?" A [-]-year-old old prince shouted, rubbing his heart.He regretted that he shouldn't have followed Cheng Engong in to make a scene, otherwise such a mess would not have happened.

"If I don't explain clearly to you, what should I do if you say I'm pretending to be a ghost? Besides, those words just now are my guesses, and there is no real evidence. As a scientific researcher, I must actively seek proof and explore hard. How can I act on speculation? "

Okay, everything you say is right, let's move on.All the ministers supported their foreheads one after another, showing expressions of lovelessness.Only the Ninth Prince rested his chin on one hand, staring at his lover with affectionate eyes, very addicted.The so-called what kind of pot matches what kind of cover, that's about it.

You Shu seriously dismissed everyone's request, and then moved her fingertips slightly, and shot out a cracking talisman, splitting the madly barking dog in half.A heart fell to the ground, emitting a strong stench.This stench seems to have a magical power, which strongly attracts nearby animals.Youshu had already prepared a dozen mice and locked them in a small cage next to them. Now they are all restless and noisy.

Youshu opened the barrier and put the mice in. They didn't go to eat the carrion, but they all rushed to the heart, and you quickly ate them up one by one.After a few breaths, their eyeballs started to turn red, and then they killed each other until the strongest mouse won.Following instinct, it ate the corpses of its companions one by one, and within a short time it had grown to the size of a wild cat, and its fur began to rot and mottle, which was very similar to the description of the previous dog.

All of this proved that Youshu's guess was correct. Under the watchful eyes of the courtiers, he threw the fire talisman and burned the cage full of rats to ashes.

"Master Immortal, thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old!" The hall was quiet for a quarter of an hour before everyone's voices of relief sounded.

From this day onwards, the big and small officials in Shangjing, celebrities and dignitaries, never dared to say a bad word about Mr. Zhao Wu again.Even after he married the crown prince, he was granted the title of national teacher and moved into the Zhaixing Building. Everyone strongly agreed and congratulated him.Whenever something strange happened to someone's family, they would go to Zhao's mansion, pester Zhao Shangshu or Wang's family, and beg for an item from the immortal master, saying that it can exorcise evil spirits.What's more, they made sculptures according to the appearance of the five sons and placed them at home, offering incense candles every day.

Youshu accompanied him to fight everywhere and caused a lot of killings. Although he said that there would be no retribution, the Ninth Prince, no, he should be called Emperor Yuan now, but he couldn't help thinking about it.After the two got married, he began to be a vegetarian, and widely implemented benevolent policies in Kyushu, so that the people could live in peace, every family prospered, and the prosperity of Emperor Zongsheng was restored.

The two live in the deep palace, only each other, everything is discussed and discussed, and they have never blushed once.Emperor Yuan didn't accept concubines until his death, and he adopted a few children to raise them carefully when he was in his forties. Then he gave the Zen seat to the best able one, and he took the national teacher to travel around.

In the rare years, the two returned to Beijing quietly and passed away one after another. It is said that the bodies were buried in the tomb of Emperor Zongsheng, where there was a reincarnation formation that could keep them inseparable forever.
