Chapter 643 Zhuge among girls?
Pang Xinlian's words did sound confusing and incomprehensible to others.
However, the court officials present could still sense something different from these words.
The Lu family made a puppet of Lu Xiao and had it buried in the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion?
This matter is intriguing no matter how you think about it.
At present, Lü Xiao was trapped in prison and was embroiled in lawsuits. Zhao Qi was ordered to take over Lü Xiao's position and lead the troops to attack Chu.
But at this critical moment, Zhao Qi was seeking his own death and was using witchcraft to step on Lu Xiao again?
Regardless of whether this is a necessary measure or not, it is definitely a risky move.
Therefore, as soon as Pang Xinlian finished speaking, a court official stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, I think this matter needs to be thoroughly investigated. I'm afraid there are treacherous people who want to prevent General Zixiao from going to Yancheng and shake the morale of the army!"
"I second your motion. I believe that Lord Zhao is not such a person!"
"Whether it is true or not is not up to you, but why did the cousin in the Marquis's Mansion say that the horoscope on the doll is Lv Xiao's?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's thoughts were brought back to their senses.
Qin Xiang looked at Pang Xinlian and said slowly: "Miss Pang, did you bury this doll with your own hands?"
Pang Xinlian nodded: "Yes, I buried it under the old banyan tree in the Marquis' Mansion at the beginning of the night."
As soon as she said this, the court officials began to discuss in low voices, and Prime Minister Qin continued to ask.
"Are you sure that when this puppet was handed to you, the birth date of the general was written on it? And during this period, the puppet has never passed into the hands of anyone else."
Pang Xinlian choked up and nodded: "I am sure. I am afraid of doing such a thing, so I sent people to inquire about the horoscope of the general. I dared to do it because I saw that the horoscope was indeed a match. I just thought that the Lu family would never hurt themselves, they must have something to ask for..."
Listening to Pang Xinlian's words, Xie Jingchi curled the corner of his lips, his eyes deep.
This cousin of the Zhao family is indeed not smart enough, but unfortunately, such a stupid person can see through the connection and hit the nail on the head at once.
He raised his eyes to look at the emperor sitting at the top, his mind deep in thought.
That’s right, the Lu family is now imprisoned, and they will never harm themselves.
I just don’t know what Your Majesty would think.
"I will naturally not let other people know about this kind of thing, so I have been keeping this doll from beginning to end." Pang Xinlian was very scared. She really didn't know why the eight characters on this thing became those of the current emperor.
Qin Xiang and others took the puppet in their hands and studied it repeatedly.
It happened that Imperial Physician Han was not far away. Prime Minister Qin had an idea and handed the doll to Imperial Physician Han.
"Master Han, could you please take a look and see if you can find any clues?"
Doctor Han did not refuse. He took the note with Emperor Qianwu's eight characters and studied it carefully for a while.
After a while, Doctor Han's mind was slightly moved, and he said, "Maybe there was medicine used on this note?"
"What do you mean?" Xiao Heyu frowned, not knowing what he was talking about.
However, no matter how stupid he was, he gradually realized that this was not a trap set against the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion, but more like a trap set against their Lu family!
The Qingyuan Marquisate must have seen through this plot long ago and used the same trick against the Lu family.
Xiao Heyu's heart sank completely when he thought that the opportunity for the Lu family to turn things around, which they had worked so hard to plan, would fail again. No, not only would it fail, but they would be suspected by their father again.
These days, his father seemed to treat him the same as before, but he could clearly feel that his father had stripped him of a lot of power and given him fewer tasks.
Now, the disaster relief official silver case and the empty salary case have implicated many of his people. These past few days, he even dreamed that his father was going to execute him.
But he didn't dare to think about it, let alone think too deeply. He was afraid that if he took a wrong step, he would never be able to turn the situation around, and he would be dragged down.
But it was obvious that they lost this round again. Not only did they fail to rescue their uncle, but their father also became more suspicious of him and the Lu family.
"Please bring some water." Doctor Han gave the order and first took the note off the doll. Then he used clean water and repeated the test several times.
"Sure enough!"
Everyone saw that the birth date and time of Emperor Qianwu on the note faded, while Lu Xiao's birth date and time appeared instead.
"What's going on?" someone asked, and then handed the note to Emperor Qianwu.
Emperor Qianwu looked at Doctor Han, who immediately said, "It is a powder made from herbs. When you add it to the ink and write, after a few hours, the ink will completely dry and the writing will disappear."
"If it comes into contact with water again, the writing will reappear. This kind of powder is not too difficult to mix. I can make it, but I didn't expect it to be used here..."
"Then how did your Majesty's birth date and horoscope come about?" Taifu Wang asked with a frown.
Doctor Han thought for a moment and said, "I think that medicinal powder was also used, but I may need to study the specific ratio for some time."
Prime Minister Qin's eyes were gloomy. "So, when Pang Xinlian got the puppet, what she saw was indeed Lu Xiao's horoscope?"
Doctor Han responded, "That must be the case. Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why the eight characters of the general guarding the country are on this note."
At this moment, the imperial guard stepped forward and whispered, "Your Majesty, Feng Wan has been brought here. When we went to get her, she was about to commit suicide. Fortunately, we arrived in time and rescued her!"
"Bring him up." Emperor Qianwu did not know whether he was happy or angry.
Not long after, Feng Wan was taken to the main hall. The girl looked pale but still calm. However, at this moment, there was indeed a deep mark on her neck.
Feng Kai was extremely anxious. After all, this was his daughter, and the entire Feng family could not escape blame if she was involved in such a thing.
But, is the Third Prince really going to lose?
"Feng Wan, but you gave the doll with Lu Xiao's horoscope to Pang Xinlian and tricked her into burying it in the Qingyuan Marquis Mansion?" Emperor Qianwu said in a cold voice.
"I know my crime! My uncle has been kind to me, but now he is being wronged and Luo State has taken the opportunity to send troops. I cannot sit idly by! So I resorted to this desperate measure!"
Feng Wan confessed her guilt right away. Feng Kai's eyes went dark, and he knew that the Feng family was finished.
Feng Wan's action saved the Lu family, but...how could His Majesty be unaware of this?
Emperor Qianwu sneered: "What a bad idea!"
Feng Wan's throat tightened, but she seemed to have prepared for death before coming here. She said, "I think that although the old Marquis Zhao is also good at fighting, he is far inferior to my uncle. My uncle has been fighting against the Luo Kingdom for many years and has rarely been defeated. Now he is being slandered. It must be a conspiracy of the Luo Kingdom..."
Before Feng Wan finished her words, Emperor Qianwu interrupted her: "According to you, I am not good at judging people, I am stupid and incompetent, and I am not as good as you, a female Zhuge Liang?"
With just one sentence, Feng Wan's heart completely cooled!
Xiao Heyu wanted to protect her, but he knew very well that he must not speak at this time, otherwise, the fire would burn him.
"Come here, Feng Wan harbored evil intentions, defied the authority of heaven, and used forbidden witchcraft. Drag her out and execute her by beheading as a warning to others! The Feng family failed to supervise and manage properly, so they should be executed. However, considering their merits, their property will be confiscated and they will be exiled!"
