Lonely non-good minister

Although Song Yuan was unconscious, the ministers were not idle. Led by Sangong, they summoned the nine ministers and princes to discuss and decided to severely deal with all the witchcraft and sorcerers in the Wei Dynasty. This move won the support of the Shen family and Xiao Shen. With the support of the two empress dowagers, it quickly started to flourish.

During the days when Song Yuan was in coma, Xiao Shen stayed by her side, watching her lose weight day by day, and prepared for the worst.

At night, when only mother-in-law, daughter-in-law and Chunyang stayed in front of the bed, little Shen held a round fan in her hand and paid careful attention to prevent mosquitoes from biting Song Yuan.

"Since childhood, Ayuan has been sick many times. This time, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

Mu Wantang said hurriedly: "The Queen said this. If the Emperor knew about it, he would feel uncomfortable. The imperial doctor has already said that as long as the Emperor wakes up, he will be fine."

When she said this, Xiao Shen only smiled bitterly: "If that's true, that would be great."

She was very pessimistic. Such a reaction made Mu Wantang feel uneasy. She also realized that Xiao Shen must be hiding something from her. Therefore, when Xiao Shen sent her back to rest, Mu Wantang left obediently.

She thought about it all the way back, and as soon as she returned to the palace, she went to bring Xu Yingrong over.

In order to make it easier for Xu Yingrong to walk in the palace, Mu Wantang restored her status as a daughter early and gave her a casual position as a female official in the palace. Now it is convenient to summon her.

After sending the maid away, Mu Wantang looked at Xu Yingrong standing in front of him and asked, "Why did the emperor call you to the Taihua Palace on the day he fell into coma?"

"I forgot." Xu Yingrong lowered her head, not daring to look directly at her.

Song Yuan had already told her that if she couldn't control her mouth, she would end up dead.

Mu Wantang smiled: "That's all. It's just that you and Mr. Yan were both in Taihua Hall that day, which caused a lot of trouble. You have such a powerful ability, even if you don't say it to me, There are quite a few, but I just can’t figure out why Mr. Yan is here too. Do we still need firearms that day?”

"My servant doesn't know either." Xu Yingrong answered honestly this time. She really didn't know why Yan Yan was in Taihua Hall. When she was called to Taihua Hall, Song Yuan was the only one in the hall. At that time, Song Yuan told her to control the great witch Zhiyan when he arrived, and she agreed. However, the great witch Zhiyan's will was too strong and he was very vigilant. He discovered her existence almost as soon as he came in, and she couldn't control him at all. , she had no idea what happened next. She only knew that when she woke up, she learned that Song Yuan had vomited blood and was in a coma. Someone wanted to accuse her. Fortunately, Mu Wantang protected her and was not sent to prison.

Seeing that she was not pretending to be stupid, Mu Wantang made a bold guess: "Are you familiar with Mr. Yan? Does she only know how to make firearms?"

These words reminded Xu Yingrong. She remembered that only one hypnosis master was mentioned at that time. She always thought that it was her, but her reaction that day was clearly that she was hypnotized.

Could it be that Yan Yan also knows hypnosis?

Xu Yingrong was unsure. Her expression revealed her thoughts completely. Mu Wantang had a guess without her needing to elaborate.

If Yan Yan is really capable of hypnosis and his ability is far superior to that of Xu Yingrong, then all suspicions are reasonable. The firearms craftsman may just have another identity, and Song Yuan obviously knows that Xu Yingrong's appearance in Taihua Palace is for Relax the great witch Zhiyan's vigilance. After thinking about this, Mu Wantang continued to ask: "Do you know how to save yourself from being bitten by witchcraft?"

"There's no way to undo it if it's been backlashed." Xu Yingrong answered honestly: "This is to make a contract with someone. Once the contract is broken, you must accept punishment. This is a very rare technique. Unless the person who made the contract is The contract was terminated voluntarily by both parties, and there is no possibility of recovery.”

These words made Mu Wantang feel bad. Although she had some guesses, Xu Yingrong's words undoubtedly cut off her last thoughts.

"Don't tell anyone that I'm questioning you." Mu Wantang waved his hand: "Go down."

Xu Yingrong obeyed and left. She had been in Dawei for several years and already understood the importance of keeping her mouth shut. Even if Mu Wantang didn't remind her, she would not dare to speak nonsense.

Mu Wantang couldn't sleep at all that night. She kept thinking about what she would do if Song Yuan couldn't be rescued.

Although she and Song Yuan were only married, Song Yuan's kindness to her was impeccable. Even her mother was taken care of and supported. Xiao Shen's upright mother-in-law was also a kind person. , never made things difficult for her and did not speak up, but also defended her in every way. How could she let go of such a mother-in-law and husband?

After thinking wildly all night, Mu Wantang was not in good spirits. The maid thought she was worried, so she suggested that she go burn incense to her ancestors and ask them to bless Song Yuan.

Mu Wantang didn't believe this at first and had no intention of going, but now that he had nothing else to do, he agreed.

Riding the phoenix chariot, a group of people came to the ancestral hall in the palace to worship the ancestors of the Wei dynasties. Mu Wantang's sharp eyes noticed that the palace attendants around Shen were also there, and he immediately guessed that Shen was also inside.

"Don't come close, let's go in quietly." She didn't know why she was so cautious, almost subconsciously she had the idea of ​​eavesdropping.

Avoiding Shen's palace attendants, Mu Wantang came outside the ancestral hall and heard someone talking inside.

Mother Wang handed the incense to Shen, and after worshiping with her, she said: "The master outside asked someone to inquire carefully. He said that the witchcraft is poisonous. The emperor's appearance must be that the demon used dirty methods. Now that the demon is dead, I am afraid that I will not be able to find the antidote unless I go to Southern Xinjiang to find someone more powerful. However, the demon is the great witch of Southern Xinjiang. I am afraid that it will be difficult to find someone more powerful than him, and the journey is far away. The emperor is afraid that I can’t wait until that time, and besides, with the current large-scale hunting and killing of wizards, even if I really have the means to invite them, they won’t come.”

"Yesterday the Ai family went to see the emperor. The unconscious man had become so thin in just a few days. He was almost the same as my Chun'er when he fell ill. It can be seen that the late emperor's extension of his life was really harmful to his descendants." Shen said in a tone. Hatefully, he glanced at Li Zong's memorial tablet and wished he could pick up the memorial tablet and throw it to the ground.

Mother Wang knew that she was still feeling sorry for Song Chun, so she hurriedly reminded: "Prince Ming Gong has passed away. It is time for the Queen Mother to carefully plan for the future. The Queen has not been happy for a long time. If the Emperor really cannot hold on anymore, how should the throne be passed on?" The most important thing is to get down."

"Of course it will be passed to Wei Ge." Mrs. Shen did not hesitate at all: "If my Chun'er does not die, the throne will belong to Chun'er and will belong to Wei Ge in the future. It was only because Chun'er was gone that the emperor took it. Since he has no luck and cannot sit for a long time, he should give his position back."

What he said was really cold. Mu Wantang really felt sorry for Song Yuan. Since Song Chun died of illness, Song Yuan and Xiao Shen had always been respectful and respectful to Shen. It turned out that this was what Shen had planned behind his back.
