Chapter 331 Grasshopper(2/3)
"You don't want to die? How dare you disobey the emperor?"
"General, he saw something strange."
"What?"
"In... Prince Di's shoes."
Zhang Taoguang then walked over and looked at the pair of Jinyun shoes on the corridor. He saw a piece of paper leaking out of the insole, with complicated patterns and writing on it.
He looked up at the attic and found that the saint had stood up to the railing and was looking at it with his hands behind his back. He had no choice but to go over, hold the piece of paper and pull it out of his shoe.
"this……"
That's a spell.
After talking about the prophecy all day long, the prophecy finally appeared.
~~
"What does this talisman mean? Is it a house-protecting talisman, a talisman to ward off evil spirits, or a talisman?"
"Back to the saint, this talisman is probably... a talisman to curse death. Carrying this talisman can curse anyone who is close to it..."
Upon hearing this, the saint on the royal couch suddenly changed his face. He leaned back involuntarily and stared at the talisman in Xuan Jing's hand, ready to go.
Li Yan couldn't believe that he had found it in his shoe, and was so frightened that he quickly fell to his knees.
"Father, calm down, I really don't know what's going on! Someone is trying to harm me!"
He thought to himself that this matter was obviously not his fault, and maybe it would be fine if he explained it clearly. However, no matter how much he kowtowed and cried, the saint never said a word.
There is only a murderous aura that is getting stronger and stronger, and the atmosphere is chilling.
Li Yan was so frightened that she finally lost her sense of control and shouted: "Master, I am your son!"
"Take it down and put it under house arrest." Li Longji suddenly became furious and shouted: "Investigate this matter strictly!"
What he is most wary of is his son.
The only person in the world who could really hurt him was his son.
This was not anger that happened overnight, but the disgust that had been accumulated over a long period of fear and vigilance, finally bursting out at this moment.
His son was secretly trying to prophesy him to death!
"The saint calms down his anger, the saint calms down his anger."
Gao Lishi could feel the depth of Li Longji's anger the most, and he was very uneasy. He quickly ordered people to take Li Yan to the Eagle Dog House for custody.
The next moment, I heard Li Longji ask again.
"I asked you to check the evidence that Li Fan falsely claimed a prophecy, have you found it?"
When Gao Lishi heard this, the hair on his back stood up.
The sage did not ask what the truth was, but first determined that it was the truth. He only asked him for confirmation. In the sage's heart, King Shou must be dissatisfied.
"Old slave..."
Gao Lishi wanted to take out the confession from his sleeve, but he still had concerns in his mind.
Li Longji already scolded: "Why don't you go check it out?"
~~
The family order from Prince Shou's Mansion has been taken away for interrogation.
At first, Li Chan thought that he had gotten rid of the other party casually, and felt a little freer, but gradually he became uneasy.
Because someone from the palace came to question him twice, asking whether he had made any false claims about prophecies when he was honoring the filial piety of Prince Ning... He knew that the older Li Longji got, the more he was afraid of prophecies, and he finally had a premonition of disaster.
The end is coming.
Suddenly, there was a noise in the distance.
Li Chen quickly climbed up to the highest attic of his home to take a look, but saw his wife Wei Shi was also there.
"What happened?"
"The Nu family sent people to inquire about it. When King Di entered the palace, he had a talisman hidden in his shoe, the Holy Bow of Charming Disgusting."
"What? How is he?"
"The person is still confined in the palace, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs is investigating the case, and the investigation is very fierce..."
Li Chen was frightened when he heard this.
He knew that Li Yan was much more favored than him. If even Li Yan would be convicted because of a prophecy, and if he was framed by Xue Bai, he might really lose his life.
"You... if you send someone to inquire again, the family order is not here, and you have many connections. Please help me inquire and find out what I should do... what should I do with my fourth brother."
"Shizuro, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, just ask around."
Webster was capable, not to mention that the two families lived close to each other, so there was a lot of noise about this matter, and he found out the result that evening.
"I found out that two of King Di's children were competing for favor. Seeing that Princess Di was out of favor, they both wanted the position of princess. One of them put a charm in King Di's shoe, hoping to kill the other in order to gain King Di's exclusive favor.
"
"I said that Princess Di has moved to another room and there is no housekeeper at home. Sooner or later there will be trouble." Wei Shi sighed incessantly.
Li Heng said: "Now that we have found out everything, is the fourth brother going to be fine?"
"With this misunderstanding, King Di will be released from the palace soon."
"yes."
That night, Li Fan stayed up all night, always waiting for news with his eyes open, hoping to see Li Yan return to the Ten Kings' Mansion. What he was worried about was not Li Yan, but himself.
He knew that he had become a grasshopper after autumn and could only jump around for a few days.
One night passed, and then a whole day passed, but the saint had not issued an order to release Li Yan, even though the truth of the matter had been found out.
At the end, Li Chen suddenly heard crying.
The sad cries and the faint sound surrounding his mansion made people feel chilly in their hearts.
"What's going on?"
Webster had no choice but to send someone to inquire again. When the news came back, even she was surprised.
"Prince Di... was scared to death."
"What?" Li Chan's heart skipped a beat and she felt weak.
"King Di drank too much and was already weak. After being imprisoned in Eagle Dog House, he was said to have said, 'I want to follow in the footsteps of the three common people.' He was so frightened that he fell ill and died."
"He is the son of a saint." Li Xuan murmured, "He is the son of a saint."
This was the fourth son killed by the saint.
He knew that he might be the next one, or should I say, it would be him soon.
That night, Wei Shi sighed a few words and took an early rest. She fell asleep until she was drowsy, but she felt someone pushing her. When she opened her eyes, she saw Li Chen kneeling in front of the couch.
"Shizuro, what's wrong?"
"Save me."
Li Chen opened his mouth, already choked with sobs, and said: "Help me, I beg you."
"I am..."
"Jingzhao Weishi, go to Tianchiwu. I know that your clan is very powerful. The Crown Princess, Princess Yao, and Princess Di are all sisters in your clan. The saint has pardoned them... If something happens to me this time, the saint will definitely do the same.
I will forgive you, but save me!"
Li Longji was indeed tolerant of the girl surnamed Wei who married into the clan. Wei Jian committed such a serious crime, and Li Heng's wife only became a nun; among the three common people's cases, only Princess E was spared; in this case of the spell, the saint
Then let Princess Di return to the sect.
"You are Jingzhao Webster, you can help me." Li Fan cried bitterly and said: "For the sake of watching our love, please help me..."
~~
Mrs. Guo's Mansion.
In the hall, Yang Yuhuan was playing backgammon with Yang Yuyao.
Li Longji was very curious about what she was doing, but he didn't know that he was waiting for her to give in. But in fact, she was not too busy every day. She slept until noon today and woke up. When she woke up, she was thinking about what to eat for lunch.
She spent half an hour just lying there thinking about it. In short, every day passed slowly, but she always had fun, and she was too lazy to guess the saint's thoughts.
"There are people watching inside and outside this mansion. Where did I get the news?"
"I won't tell you."
"Just don't tell me." Yang Yuhuan said, "The same goes for Xue Bai. Something happened, but I didn't know until he was fine."
Yang Yuyao smiled and said: "Now that he is capable, you don't have to worry. He can also help you in turn and help you return to the palace as soon as possible."
"Sister, I want to drive me away. Just tell me, I will go live with the eighth sister..."
Just as he was saying this, Zhang Yunrong came over with a sad look on his face and whispered: "Madam, someone wants to see you."
"Is it Xue Bai?" Yang Yuhuan asked.
She thought to herself that now that Xue Bai's trouble had just been resolved, she should come over and give him some advice.
He has always done things in a measured manner. Zhang Yunrong doesn't need to be so worried.
"It's not Xue Lang, it's... it's King Shou."
"What is he here for?" Yang Yuhuan immediately changed his expression and said, "Are you going to kill me?"
Yang Yuyao immediately stood up and said: "If you don't drive him away, why do you come here to communicate? How can you see him?"
"Prince Shou came in disguise. He said he had urgent matters. If the lady refuses to see him, he will go out and everyone will die together." Zhang Yunrong said: "I really tried my best to invite him away, but he..."
