Chapter 634 Prince Duan Is Captured

It was the same room we had seen before, except that the brown curtains with cloud patterns had been replaced with blue jacquard curtains.

Through the curtains, we still saw a vague figure meditating. Prince Duan still had his eyes closed, but his face was not as painful and haggard as last time, and he was still mumbling something.

After more than half a minute, Prince Duan opened his eyes and moved his left shoulder, as if he was picking up something.

He held a picture in front of his eyes and opened it, then turned around and hung it up.

Unfortunately, Xun Xiang could only see his face, but not the content of the painting.

Then, his face went up and down, as if he was kowtowing to the painting.

When he turned around, Xun Xiang saw that the painting was of the head of Prince Kang.

Prince Duan's face went up and down, as if he was kowtowing to the painting. After kowtowing three times, he sat down again and took out a long needle to look at it in front of his eyes.

The needle was thick and long, a bit like the silver needle used by doctors.

He took a deep breath and put down the hand holding the long needle.

His face suddenly became extremely painful, his eyebrows were furrowed, his features were twisted, and his teeth were clenched tightly.

Judging from the movement of his right shoulder, he should have pierced himself with a long needle.

This painful and twisted face made Xun Xiang very uncomfortable, but he had to watch it.

This process took about two quarters of an hour, and Prince Duan stopped, his face was already sweating profusely.

He put the long needle in front of his eyes again, and the needle was stained with blood, and blood beads were sliding down.

He smiled grimly, took a handkerchief to wipe the blood, and wiped the sweat on his face, and seemed to have applied ointment.

Then it was always that painful face until Xun Xiang woke up.

Xun Xiang sat up, took out a dry handkerchief to wipe the sweat, and leaned against the head of the bed thinking about the scene in the dream.

Prince Duan pierced himself with a needle, which should be some kind of evil magic.

Kneeling to the picture of King Kang was casting a spell on King Kang.

Judging from the movement of Prince Duan's shoulder, the place where he was pierced should not be very low, it may be the chest or abdomen.

King Kang has a heart disease, so the most likely place to be pierced is the chest.

King Kang is in pain, and he is also in pain.

The more Xun Xiang thought about it, the more this was the case.

Previously, Sun Yumu and Xun Xiang had also speculated that Kong Jing used the boy's blood to make medicine for evil magic, and they all thought that it was Kong Jing who cast the spell.

Now it seems that the one who cast the spell is more likely to be Prince Duan himself.

Xun Xiang also remembered that Li Qianqian said that she smelled blood from Prince Duan and Gao Dezhu, and guessed that Gao Dezhu had her period. It should be that Prince Duan cast a spell to mutilate himself, leaving blood on his body, so there was a bloody smell.

At that time, Gao Ping happened to be seriously ill.

Xun Xiang was also more certain that Prince Duan was casting a spell.

Although Xun Xiang hated Prince Kang, she didn't want him to be "stabbed" to death by Prince Duan tonight.

But how should this be told to the emperor and the queen?

If Sun Yumu was at home, he would go to remind him, but he participated in the interrogation and stayed in the Ministry of Punishment.

The next morning, Xun Xiang sent someone to inquire about Prince Kang's condition, and sent Nanny Wang to Kunning Palace to inquire about the situation.

After worshiping Buddha in Dongyang, he went to Qijin Hall.

Xun Xiang roughly talked about the incident of Concubine Li falling down.

Dongyang heard about it yesterday. Princess Nanyang and Princess Beiyang were very happy when they talked about it.

It was said that Concubine Cai Shu was jealous and sent someone to frame Concubine Li. But unexpectedly, the mother and son not only refused to admit it, but also suspected that Queen Ye was framing them.

Prince Kang's illness was actually caused by anger about that incident.

Dongyang snorted coldly, "Those people have always been like this. They did bad things and blamed others. This time they dared to wrongly accuse my mother and scold my daughter. They are so bold...

"Humph, if I were there, I would definitely slap Gao Huajing a few times. I raised her, and she is so bold."

Dongyang is so "fierce". If she was there, she might really beat the Sixth Princess.

At the beginning of noon, the people who went to inquire near Prince Kang's mansion came back to report, "I heard that Prince Kang's condition worsened last night. He is unconscious and in danger. They are all saying that Prince Kang may not survive. I saw several clan members visiting him. "

Dongyang particularly disliked Prince Kang and Concubine Cai Shufei, but since they were about to die, she thought she should put aside her prejudice and send someone to greet them.

She said, "Let Yan Jialing represent me to visit Prince Kang's mansion?"

Xun Xiang rolled her eyes. She was not kind when she should be, and she was blindly kind when she shouldn't be.

She stopped him, "No need. They have already hit us in the face, why do we have to go to the pole to make things uncomfortable?"

Dongyang thought so too. If Yan Jialing went, he might be scolded, or even throw out the things they sent.

At noon, Xun Xiang and Dongyang were having lunch in Qijin Hall when Nanny Wang came back.

She looked panicked and whispered, "The Queen Mother said that Eunuch Guo was arrested."

Dongyang was shocked, "Eunuch Guo, could it be the Eunuch Guo beside the emperor's father?"

Nanny Wang said, "It was him. He and three eunuchs were arrested by Eunuch Qin and his men last night and taken to the Shenxingsi, where they were personally interrogated by Eunuch Qin, Prince Sun, and Commander Xie of the Jinwu Guard.

"The Queen also told Her Royal Highness the Princess and the Princess not to enter the palace these days."

She went to Kunning Palace and waited for a long time before she saw the Queen.

As soon as she finished speaking, Yan Jialing came in to report, "Reporting to Her Royal Highness the Princess, the Princess, I just heard that Prince Duan's Mansion was surrounded by the Jinwu Guards, and Prince Duan and Princess Duan were taken to the Jinwu Guards."

They were not taken to the Ministry of Punishment, but directly to the Jinwu Guards.

This confirmed that he had committed a serious crime.

In addition, Eunuch Qin and Sun Yumu should have received clues from Kong Jing, so they dared to arrest Prince Duan and surround Prince Duan's Mansion in a big way.

Dongyang was even more surprised, "What kind of crime would someone like Gao Ming commit?"

Xun Xiang said, "Honest people do great things."

At this time, Xun Xiang still felt a little sympathetic towards Gao Ming. He had been ignored and mistreated since childhood, and was deliberately led astray by the old Su family. He had two good fortunes that others could not even think of, but he did not enjoy them...

He was not taught astray or stupid, but listened to Aunt Mu's words and endured humiliation. But he was still blinded by power and eventually embarked on the path arranged by the old Su family, and his good fortune was also ruined.

This was mainly due to the emperor's dereliction of duty as a father. If the emperor had cared about him since childhood and had people take good care of him, he would not have taken that path.

Dongyang looked at his calm daughter and asked, "Xiangxiang, what do you know that mother doesn't know?"

Xun Xiang said, "Perhaps, Kong Jing and Eunuch Guo are both working for Gao Ming... Mother, if Gao Ming ascends to the throne, those who bullied him will be unlucky. People should be more kind and don't bully honest people.

"Look at my father, he treats everyone equally, never steps on the high and praises the low, and Gao Ming always remembers his kindness. "

Dongyang's mouth was wide open enough to fit a walnut. When she was a child, she had bullied Gao Ming a lot.

She closed her mouth and said, "A fool like Gao Ming wants to ascend the throne? How dare you think about it."

Xun Xiang said, "Gao Ming is not stupid. He is considered smart among the princes, at least much smarter than King Kang. He was pretending to be stupid before."

Six days later, Qiu Wangzhi returned to Beijing with Kong Jing, Pan Baishou and others.
