Be good, call me uncle

Chapter 1124 How could it be you? !

Emperor Yuanwu opened his mouth and asked about Lan Lingling's situation: "I just learned about the commotion just now. Is Zhizhi okay?"

Changsun Tao said: "Miss Lingling is fine. I have asked her to go back to Taishu's residence first."

Emperor Yuanwu breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. I have always been concerned about her, but I was afraid of causing complications, so I didn't send her out of the palace in person."

Changsun Tao said: "Your Majesty seems to be a little depressed. Are you feeling unwell?"

Emperor Yuanwu said: "It's okay. I didn't sleep well last night and I'm not in good spirits. How is Feng Xiang's injury?"

Changsun Tao said: "I suffered some internal injuries, and I have to rest for a while to recover."

Emperor Yuanwu sighed: "Wu Ti and Emperor Shitian will not be eliminated for a day. I am helpless in doing things. I want to leave the palace to see the situation, but I am afraid of falling into their hands and causing trouble to everyone. Uncle Emperor, please help I’ll pay more attention to Feng Xiang’s body, and if I’m short of any medicinal materials, just go to the treasury to get them.”

Changsun Tao said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I will pay more attention to it."

Emperor Yuanwu looked at Eunuch Lu and said, "Is the matter finished with Eunuch Yue? Let him come over when it is finished."

After Eunuch Lu left, only his uncle and nephew were left in the palace. Emperor Yuanwu asked, "Uncle, you seem to have something to say to me."

Changsun Tao said: "We have to wait until the Duke of Yue comes to discuss this matter."

Just as he was talking, Lu Mingyong came.

Emperor Yuanwu asked him: "How? What can be found out?"

Lu Mingyong shook his head: "Your Majesty, this man is very tight-lipped, and he still refuses to say a word. However, he is a chamberlain, and he deliberately imitates King Wu."

Changsun Tao frowned: "Servant? New or old?"

Lu Mingyong said: "Judging from the recovery of the wound, he should have been a chamberlain for several years. Does Your Highness feel that something is wrong with this matter? Why is your focus on his identity instead of King Wu?"

Changsun Tao said: "I think this matter is about Miss Lingling, not King Wu."

King Wu was imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison for several months by Emperor Yuanwu. Although he was not publicly tried for collaborating with the enemy, there was no chance of him turning over, and no one in the court could speak for him. He was completely finished.

At this time, no one needs to go to great lengths to frame him. This is probably the method used by the mysterious man to confuse the public.

No matter how you look at it, this matter is all directed at Lan Lingling.

But who would harm Lan Lingling?

Is she the concubine of Emperor Yuanwu?However, Concubine Xiao has been relegated to the cold palace, and the other three concubines are worried about following in Concubine Xiao's footsteps, so they are very honest about their duties.

It's not like they did it.

Lu Mingyong said: "I have asked my men to investigate the origins of the servants. Anyone who can imitate King Wu must have met King Wu and is even familiar with King Wu. As long as we start with King Wu, it will not be difficult to find him. identity of."

Emperor Yuanwu added: "When Zhizhi saw me last night, she talked about this person. She said that this person appeared at the Queen Mother and Yuzhen's place, but the guard did not report any news to me."

Changsun Tao said: "This person behaves quite strangely, let's wait and see after finding out his identity. The most important thing at the moment is that Miss Lingling said that His Majesty's Chengming Palace has been poisoned and must be untied as soon as possible. "

Lu Mingyong was puzzled: "Poison? What's going on?"

Changsun Tao said: "I don't know who cast the poison. Miss Lingling only said that she saw the man stopping at the place where the poison was buried, but she didn't say that she saw him lay the poison with her own eyes."

Emperor Yuanwu said: "After what you said, I am more and more certain that this matter is definitely directed at Zhizhi. If Zhizhi is caught, she will definitely bear the blame for this poison."

Lu Mingyong said: "Could this be a way for Emperor Shitian and others to frame Miss Lingling? Miss Lingling is the key to cracking the soul-destroying Gu. Emperor Shitian and others must regard her as a thorn in their side."

Emperor Yuanwu said: "The level of cruelty is not enough. If it were Emperor Shitian, or Wu Ti and others' methods, they must be much crueler than this. The previous incident with Zhizhi is an example." Changsun Tao said: "Although I can't be sure. Whether this matter is the work of Emperor Shitian and Wu Ti, it may not necessarily be related to them."

Lu Mingyong said: "Wu Ti is most puzzling to me. It is a bit unbelievable to say that this person is a subordinate of Emperor Shitian. Because his own methods and abilities are very strong, how can he be willing to succumb to Emperor Shitian?"

Changsun Tao said: "Perhaps he was hit by the same thing as Xie Yun, and he might have had no choice but to do so. Or maybe Wu Ti got involved with Emperor Shitian in order to borrow his power."

Emperor Yuanwu said: "The reason is unknown, but Emperor Wu Ti Shitian must be removed. These two people are too dangerous."

Lu Mingyong said: "How to remove the poison? Let Miss Lingling do it?"

Changsun Tao said: "No need, Miss Lingling, it's almost time for Mr. Baili to come."

While the three of them were talking, Eunuch Lu came in and reported: "Your Majesty, Mr. Baili has entered the palace holding the imperial concubine's token. He is waiting outside Chengming Hall at this time."

Changsun Tao said: "I will go and remove the poison with Mr. Baili now. Your Majesty, please wait in the palace."

Lu Mingyong said: "I will protect His Majesty in the palace."

Changsun Tao nodded, then bowed and left.

After leaving Chengming Hall, Changsun Tao took Baili Wuxiang to the place described by Lan Lingling, pointed to the loose brick and said, "Master, it's right here."

Baili Wuxiang broke open the bricks and began to remove the poison seriously.

After about a quarter of an hour, he clapped his hands and said, "It's done."

Changsun Tao said: "Thank you for your hard work, Master!"

Baili Wuxiang said: "This is not over yet! This is the Five Elements Gu. The so-called Five Elements Gu relies on the Gu under the Five Elements. Now that we have just solved the 'earth', we still have gold, wood, water, and fire to find."

Changsun Tao said: "Five elements? Are the remaining four easy to find? Can they be seen with the naked eye?"

Baili Wuxiang said: "It shouldn't be difficult to find the remaining ones. They are not far from this place. I suspect that the other four are all in Chengming Hall."

Changsun Tao said: "Master, I will take you in."

When he met Emperor Yuanwu, Baili Wuxiang bowed and said hello and explained his intention. Emperor Yuanwu asked him to go ahead and do it.

Baili Wuxiang worked around and found the 'wooden poison' on the beam, the 'fire poison' in the candlestick, and the 'golden poison' in the scabbard hanging on the wall.

But the strange thing is that the 'water poison' can't be found.

Baili Wuxiang said: "It shouldn't be! The water poison must be nearby, but why can't it be found?"

Changsun Tao and Lu Mingyong looked at each other and said, "Why are the found Gu hidden in these places? It looks like it was done by an acquaintance."

Baili Wuxiang said: "I'll find out if I release Miss Lingling's poison. But I have to close the curtains first."

Emperor Yuanwu immediately ordered his chamberlain to take care of it. When the hall fell into darkness, Baili Wuxiang took out a small bottle.

There was a moth-like insect in the bottle. As soon as the bottle was opened, the moth got free and flew out quickly.

It wandered around the hall until it landed on Eunuch Lu's head, shining with a glowing light.

Emperor Yuanwu was shocked: "Lu Xing, why is the water poison on you..."
