After Xiao Fubao’s Life Was Stolen, He Became the Favorite of Everyone In the Capital - Chapter 392

Chapter 392 The art of witchcraft

“What’s going on? Wasn’t he fine yesterday? Why is this happening all of a sudden?” the Queen Mother asked the doctor eagerly.

Yesterday, Concubine Shun stayed in Shoukang Palace until late at night. Before leaving, the Queen Mother was still worried and asked several imperial doctors to consult her. She still remembered that several people said that Concubine Shun’s pulse was stable and healthy. Why did she suddenly call out after a few hours? It hurts.

The Queen Mother actually suspected that Concubine Shun was deliberately pretending to be in pain so that Niuniu could leave the palace, but Concubine Shun’s appearance at this time could not be faked.

In just an instant, Concubine Shun’s originally rosy complexion turned extremely pale, her teeth were clenched, her face was full of pain, a thin layer of cold sweat appeared on her forehead unknowingly, and blue veins bulged on her neck. It was obviously extremely painful.

“The Empress Dowager, my medical skills are not good. Concubine Shun’s pulse condition last night was definitely not like this. Today her pulse condition is extremely disordered. I have never seen anything like this before.” Several doctors from the imperial hospital said so.

Only old doctor Yan frowned, not knowing what he was thinking on his face.

The Queen Mother was always shrewd. Seeing him like this, she immediately said: “Mr. Yan, if you have something to say, you might as well say it! Have you seen such a disease elsewhere?”

A look of embarrassment flashed across Old Doctor Yan’s face.

The Queen Mother said: “There is nothing you can’t say! You really want to scare people to death!”

Old Doctor Yan spoke helplessly and said: “Weichen once encountered a similar pulse condition when he was treating a woman, but Weichen tried his best and failed to save her fetus.”

The Queen Mother swayed when she heard this. This was obviously an extremely unacceptable answer for her.

Old doctor Yan continued: “The woman had a miscarriage. She was too sad and lingered on the hospital bed. She died in less than a year. But after another half a year, the concubines of that family had a fierce fight, which actually involved… A scandal comes and everyone knows about it.”

“And this scandal is related to the dead woman. It turns out that her miscarriage was not an accident, but that one of her husband’s concubines colluded with a Taoist woman who practiced evil arts to treat her mistress. Practicing witchcraft.”

Doctor Yan was reluctant to talk about this at first. In fact, the art of witchcraft and poison has been very taboo in all dynasties. Once something happens, it cannot be settled with a few lives.

The Queen Mother heard that Concubine Shun was still shouting about pain in her ears. She directly ordered Li Shunfu without any hesitation or even discussing with the emperor.

“Search the palace! Starting from Guanju Palace, search all parts of the palace! Don’t even let Shoukang Palace go!” the Queen Mother said coldly.

Li Shunfu naturally knew the seriousness of the matter, and without any hesitation, he bowed and retreated quickly.

The whole palace was in motion.

The maids and eunuchs serving in Guanju Palace had been replaced a long time ago, and now they were all the emperor’s people. Seeing that Li Shunfu personally led the team and that the order was given by the Queen Mother, they did not resist at all.

Only Li Zhaoyi felt as if he had suffered a great shame and humiliation: “I don’t know what I did wrong to make the Queen Mother suffer such humiliation! I must report today’s incident to the Emperor!”

But even if she blocked it powerfully, it could not stop these people from turning the inside and outside of Guanju Palace upside down, and even shoveled away the soil in the yard to take a closer look.

Li Zhaoyi actually didn’t understand what happened. She secretly asked Miss Li San in private: “Did your father do exactly what I said in the letter? Did he do anything unnecessary?”

Miss Li San shook her head and said, “Auntie, dad never likes to get involved in harem affairs.” What she didn’t say was that her dad was actually quite impatient when he saw the letter. How could he still do anything other than communicate through letters? What’s going on.

Li Zhaoyi also wanted to ask the searchers what happened, but they were more and more tight-lipped, and Li Zhaoyi could not find out any useful information at all.

Fortunately for Li Zhaoyi, although this group of people were like locusts passing through the border, they did not find anything that was not in compliance with the rules.

She only regretted that she was now confined in Guanju Palace. Even though she still had her own eyes and ears in the palace, she could not get out, and her eyes and ears could not send the news in. Now she was really deaf and blind in the palace.

“You, go out and inquire and find out what happened?” Li Zhaoyi can only count on Miss Li San, the only one who can still move freely.

Miss Li San’s face was full of reluctance. She came to the palace to enjoy the blessings and not to be her aunt’s personal maid.

Before Miss Li San could leave Guanju Palace, she was stopped by someone.

“Third Miss, there are searches everywhere in the palace now. At this time, if you are running around outside, if you are involved in something big, wouldn’t it be a drag on your aunt?” the steward of Guanju Palace said with a serious face. said.

The stewardess was sent by the emperor, and Li Zhaoyi’s words were not very effective. Miss Li San, a little girl, was no match for her, so she sent her back with just a few words.

Li Zhaoyi had never been a good-tempered person. When he saw his niece returning home in vain, he couldn’t help but scolded her: “You’re useless, you can’t do a small thing well!”

Miss Li San lowered her head in grievance, but she couldn’t help but think in her heart, her aunt was useful, so why was she demoted from a noble concubine to Zhaoyi?

In the Shoukang Palace, Concubine Shun was in so much pain that she wanted to roll on the floor. A large amount of sweat kept dripping from her forehead. In a short period of time, her face was like gold paper, and her condition was extremely bad.

After the emperor came down from the morning court, he hurried over after receiving the news. Seeing Concubine Shun’s condition, the emperor was also very worried.

“The Queen Mother made a quick decision. Her son has sent someone to invite the Imperial Advisor to come over. If someone is really practicing witchcraft behind his back, when he is caught, it would be best to have the Imperial Advisor cast a spell to dispel it immediately,” the emperor said.

When the Queen Mother heard the word “Guo Shi”, she immediately felt bad and said, “Emperor, the Guo Shi has frequent contacts with the Li family, and the Ai family cannot trust him!”

It was about her only imperial grandson, so the Queen Mother didn’t have so many scruples when speaking, and directly talked about her sending people to keep an eye on the Li family.

The emperor frowned and said: “The Imperial Master is a capable person. I have seen his miraculous abilities with my own eyes. I would never dare to play tricks on such a thing.”

The Queen Mother could not trust the Li family: “The Emperor must not forget that there was also a problem with the spices in Concubine Shun’s palace.”

The incident involving spices in Concubine Shun’s palace has something to do with Li Zhaoyi.

“That’s all, I will send someone else to invite the eminent monk from Huguo Temple to enter the palace.”

The emperor and his son had discussed how to remove the witchcraft. Even though Concubine Shun was in pain, she still tried her best. With the support of the palace maid, she walked to the Tian family and knelt down to beg for mercy.

“Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, if I am not lucky enough to keep this child, please let Niu Niu out of the palace for the sake of this child…”
