Chapter 636: Seclusion

Qiu Wangzhi and Sun Yumu clasped their fists and said, "Your humble servants obey your order."

The emperor had refused to see Gao Ming before. After reading this letter, he changed his mind.

The two withdrew, and the emperor took the letter to Kunning Palace.

Empress Ye also shed tears after reading it, "Old Su is too bad. She can harm a child like this."

The emperor said angrily, "He has a good plan. If Gao Feng successfully ascends to the throne, Gao Ming will be abandoned. If it fails, use Gao Ming's hatred to kill my princes and grandchildren."

Old Su is already dead, and only her bones were dug out and crushed to ashes. If she were alive, she would be cut into pieces.

This major case has been rumored. In a few years, the royal family has had three scandals. This time, it was the most honest eldest prince, and Old Su and Kong Jing were involved. It was also related to witchcraft, and the people were very interested.

Xun Xiang did not enter the palace, and occasionally went to Zhenhai Marquis Mansion to inquire about some confirmed news.

It is said that Gao Ming's magic has been found. There are portraits of King Kang, King Ji, King Jing, Gao Ping, Gao Zhen, and Hong Yi, and their birth dates are on the back of the portraits. There are also silver needles, two "Lianxin Powders" specially prepared for the eighth prince Gao Guang, and more than twenty "Yixin Powders"...

In the past few years, Gao Ming has given "Lianxin Powders" to his brothers and nephews through dinner and tea.

Whenever he wants to cast a spell on someone, he will first take a "Yixin Powder" himself, then recite their birth dates and kowtow to the portrait of that person, and the person will get sick and feel pain wherever he pierces.

The more dangerous the place to be pierced, the more severe the piercing, the more pain Gao Ming will feel, and the person to be pierced will also feel more painful...

This witchcraft is only useful for people with blood.

Hongyi's little master is the eighth prince Gao Guang, and it was told to Gao Ming by eunuch Guo. Eunuch Guo also told him that the emperor doted on Gao Guang very much, not only letting Master Mingyuan cure his illness, but also often letting Qiu Wangzhi visit him.

However, he didn't have time to give Gao Guang "Lianxin Powder".

Gao Ming was frank, the only person he wanted to kill was King Kang, because King Kang bullied him the most. For others, he could just make them sick or disabled.

Although King Kang did not die, his body was completely broken, and no one could cure his serious heart disease. With this body, even if he had hoped to seize the throne before, it was gone now.

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

Xun Xiang regretted it a little. If she had known that those people were arrested, and that Eunuch Guo and Gao Ming confessed, she would not have needed to dream, and she had wasted a precious indicator in vain.

She didn't know if "Lianxin Powder" was considered a poison. If it was, Zilong Tui could cure it.

Except for Gao Guang, she didn't have a very close relationship with those uncles and cousins, so she still hoped to remove the "poison" from them.

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

Master Mingyuan would come back this year, so she would ask him first.

On March 24, this major case of "Yansheng Technique" was settled.

Kong Jing persecuted more than 100 boys and used their blood to make secret medicine. His crimes were so heinous that the heaven and earth could not tolerate him. He was sentenced to death by slicing.

Guo Sheng, under the order of Lao Su, bewitched Gao Ming to use the "Yan Sheng Technique" to frame the princes and grandchildren. His crimes were so serious that they were sentenced to death by slicing.

Pan Shi and Pan Shoubai assisted Kong Jing and Guo Sheng. Their crimes were serious and they were sentenced to beheading.

The male members of the Pan family over the age of seven and the six palace maids who obeyed Guo Sheng were sentenced to immediate execution.

The female members of the Pan family were confiscated into the Jiaofang Division, and the male members under the age of seven were allowed to be official slaves.

Prince Duan was demoted to a commoner and imprisoned. The princes and grandchildren still had "Lian Xin San" on them, so they dared not let him go far away.

Gao Shanzhu, Gao Zhen, and Gao Yi were demoted to commoners.

The emperor spared Prince Duan.

Although his three children were demoted to commoners, the emperor made secret arrangements for them. Let them choose a place and live there under a stable name.

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

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

Sun Yumu asked her to meet here.

Both of them were in a bad mood. They were not as intimate as before, but sat at the table hand in hand. Sun Yumu personally poured a cup of tea for Xun Xiang.

"Yesterday, the emperor summoned Gao Dezhu and me to Zhenghe Hall and asked her if she had any other requests. You can't imagine that Gao Dezhu refused the place arranged by the emperor for her, but chose Linshui County. It is said that Xun Xiang hibernated there for eleven years and finally emerged as a butterfly. It must be a blessed place."

Xun Xiang was stunned. She felt that Gao Dezhu definitely did not go there because of her, but more likely because Ding Lichun had lived there.

Ding Lichun and her did not have much intersection, and she didn't know why she was so infatuated with Ding Lichun.

Xun Xiang was not afraid that she would have any bad thoughts. When they went there, there would be more than a dozen people following them, all to take care of and monitor them.

She asked, "Did the emperor agree?"

"Yes, he agreed. The emperor asked me to buy them 3,000 acres of land and a house there. Then he told the county magistrate and the garrison commander of Linshui County that they were distant relatives of my family. The emperor also gave them 2,000 taels of silver, and their private property was not confiscated.

"As long as they are not extravagant, their lives will not be difficult. This is the best treatment that the royal children who have been demoted to commoners have enjoyed so far. The emperor also asked me to find a village or merchant for Gao Dezhu to marry there.

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

Hearing this, Xun Xiang was still a little sad. Sometimes, it is better to be born in an ordinary family than in an imperial family. Gao Dezhu is beautiful and intelligent. If she was not the daughter of Prince Duan and did not help Prince Duan do some bad things, it would be good for her to be the eldest brother's wife.

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 talked about Gao Ming saving a Taoist priest named Mu.

Xun Xiang calculated the time. Prince Duan was about the same age as Ding Chi. They both met a Taoist priest who could tell fortunes at the age of thirteen. The Taoist priest Mu was probably Ding Chi's master.

It's really 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 in my grandfather's villa for two days, and then go to Fushan to walk around. I hope to see Feifei's family."

Xun Xiang said, "If you see it, tell me that you miss it and ask it to bring its wife and children to me."

March 29th, it was cloudy and rainy.

At the end of the Chen hour, eight carriages and dozens of horsemen ran out of the former prince's mansion. Sun Yumu, wearing a bamboo hat and a straw raincoat and casual clothes, ran in the front.

He saw two carriages and a dozen guards parked under the big tree in front. Xun Xiang, wearing a green dress, stood in front of the carriage, and a maid held an umbrella for her.

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

The second carriage stopped, Gao Dezhu got off with his two brothers and walked towards Xun Xiang.
