Fragrance Returned

Qiu Wangzhi and Sun Yumu clasped their fists and said, "Wei ministers respect your orders."

Gao Ming had wanted to see the emperor before, but the emperor didn't see him. After reading this letter, I changed my mind.

The two of them retreated, and the emperor took the letter to Kunning Palace again.

Queen Ye also shed tears when she saw it, "Old Su is so evil, a child can be so harmful."

The emperor said angrily, "He has a good plan. If Gao Feng successfully ascends to Dabao, Gao Ming will be an abandoned son. If it fails, he will use Gao Ming's hatred to kill my prince and grandson."

Old Mrs. Su was already dead, so her bones were dug up and crushed into ashes. If she were alive, she would be cut into pieces.

There are constant rumors about this major case. In the past few years, three scandals have occurred in the royal family. This time, the most honest eldest prince was involved, involving the old Su family and Kong Jing, and was also related to witchcraft. The people were extremely interested.

Xunxiang did not enter the palace, but occasionally went to Zhenhaihou Mansion to inquire about some accurate news.

I heard that all the things used to cast spells have been found. There are portraits of King Kang, King Ji, King Jing, Gaoping, Gaozhen, and Hongyi, with their birth dates on the back of the portraits. There are also silver needles, two "Lian Xin Powder" specially prepared for the Eighth Prince's highlight, and more than twenty "Shifting Heart Powder"...

Over the past few years, Gao Ming had given his brothers and nephews "Lianxin Powder" by having meals and drinking tea with them.

When he wanted to cast a spell on someone, he would first take a "Yixin Powder" himself, then recite their birthday and horoscope, and kowtow to that person's portrait. Wherever he pierced the spell, the person who was being cast would suffer from illness and pain.

The more dangerous the place where the piercing is, the more severe the piercing, the more painful it will be, and the more painful it will be for the person being cast...

This witchcraft only works on people with blood.

Hong Xiaoshi's master is the Eighth Prince Gao Guang, and it was Eunuch Guo who told Gao Ming. Eunuch Guo also told him that the emperor loved Gao Guang very much and not only allowed Master Mingyuan to cure his illness, but also often asked Qiu Wangzhi to visit him.

However, I haven't had time to highlight "Lian Xin San" yet.

Gao Ming is frank, the only person he wants to kill is King Kang, because King Kang bullies him the most. For others, treatment of illness and disability is enough.

Although King Kang did not die, his body was completely damaged and his serious heart disease could not be cured. With this body, even if there was hope before, it is gone now.

King Kang was lucky. If Gao Ming cast the spell for the third time, he would definitely die.

Xunxiang regretted a little. If she had known those people were caught and Eunuch Guo and Gao Ming confessed, she would not have had to dream, and a precious indicator would have been wasted.

She didn't know if "Lian Xin San" was considered poison, but if it was, Zilong Slough could cure it.

Except for Gao Guang, she is not very close to those uncles and cousins, but she still hopes to detoxify them.

Especially Gao Ping, she didn't want him to be lame forever.

Master Mingyuan will come back this year, please ask him.

On March 24, this major case of "win-weary tactics" was settled.

Kong Jing persecuted more than a hundred boys and used their blood to refine secret medicine. His crimes were so heinous that heaven and earth could not tolerate them, and he was sentenced to beheaded.

Guo Sheng was ordered by the old Su family to persuade Gao Ming to use the "success-weary technique" to frame the prince and grandson. He was so sinful that he was sentenced to beheaded.

Pan and Pan Shoubai assisted Kong Jing and Guo Sheng. They committed serious crimes and were sentenced to death in half.

The Pan family's male members over seven years old and six palace servants who obeyed Guo Sheng's orders were sentenced to death.

The female members of the Pan family were sent to the Jiaofang Department, and the men under the age of seven were allowed to serve as official slaves.

King Duan was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned. The prince and grandson still have "Lianxin Powder" on their bodies, so they dare not let him go away.

Gao Shanzhu, Gao Zhen and Gao Yi were demoted to common people.

The emperor let King Duan go.

Although his three children were demoted to common people, the emperor made secret arrangements for them. Let them choose a place and live there safely and anonymously.

Let Sun Yumu handle this matter and set off on March 29th.

On the morning of the 28th, Xunxiang went to Zuixian Pavilion.

Sun and Mu asked her to meet here.

The two of them were not in a good mood. They were not as affectionate as before. Instead, they sat at the table hand in hand. Sun Yumu poured a cup of tea for Xun Xiang with his own hands.

"Yesterday the emperor summoned Gao Dezhu and I to the Zhenghe Palace and asked her if she had any other requests. You can't believe that Gao Dezhu refused the place arranged by the emperor for her and chose Linshui County instead. It was said that Xunxiang had been dormant there for eleven years. It must be a blessed place to finally transform from cocoon to butterfly.”

Xunxiang was stunned. She felt that it was definitely not because of her that Gao Dezhu went there, but more likely because Ding Lichun had lived there.

Ding Lichun didn't have much interaction with her, so I don't know why she was so infatuated with Ding Lichun.

Xunxiang is not afraid that she has any bad thoughts. When they pass, there will be more than a dozen people following them, all taking care of and monitoring them.

She asked, "The Emperor agrees?"

"Yes, I agreed. The emperor asked me to buy them three thousand acres of land and a house there. Then I said hello to the magistrate and guard of Linshui County, saying that they are distant relatives of my family. The emperor also gave them two thousand acres. Two silver coins, and their private houses were not confiscated.

"As long as you are not extravagant, life in this life will not be difficult. This is the best treatment that the royal children who have been demoted to common people have enjoyed so far. The emperor first asked me to find Huxiang Kun or Hu Xiangkun for Gao Dezhu over there. The merchant is married,

"Gao Dezhu was unwilling, saying that she had confessed in this life that she only wanted to raise her two younger brothers. After they married and had children, she would become a monk to atone for her parents and her sins in this life and accumulate blessings for the next life."

Xunxiang was still a little sad when she heard this. Sometimes, it is better to be born in the family of an emperor than to be born in the family of ordinary people. Gao Dezhu is beautiful and intelligent. If she were not King Duan's daughter and did not help King Duan do some bad things, she would be a good wife for her eldest brother.

Xun Xiang said, "She went to give gifts to my second brother when he got married. I will go to see them off tomorrow."

Sun Yumu also told the story about Gao Ming rescuing a Taoist priest named Mu.

Xunxiang calculated the time and found that King Duan was about the same age as Ding Chi. They met a Taoist priest who knew fortune telling when they were both thirteen years old. That Taoist priest was probably Ding Chi's master.

It was a coincidence that Taoist Mu escaped from the capital and went to Linshui County. He also became Ding Chi's master and taught Ding Chi how to read faces.

Sun Yumu looked yearning, "After I go to Linshui County, I will stay at my grandfather's villa for two days, and then go to Fushan for a walk. I hope to see Feifei's family."

Xun Xiang said, "If you see it, tell me you miss it and let it bring your wife and children to me."

March 29th, it was rainy.

At the end of the morning, eight carriages and dozens of people on horseback came out of the palace at the front end. Sun Yumu, wearing a bamboo hat and a raincoat and dressed in casual clothes, ran at the front.

He saw two carriages and a dozen guards parked under a big tree in front of him. Xunxiang in a green dress stood in front of the carriage, with a girl holding an umbrella for her.

Sun Yumu said to a sergeant, "You go to the street in front and wait."

The second carriage stopped, and Gao Dezhu got out of the car with his two younger brothers and walked towards Xunxiang.
