Chapter 116 What?
Chapter 116 What?
There are only one prince and one princess in the Regent's Palace, a total of two children.
Although the princess had been ill for more than ten years, the regent's infatuation was known to the world. Therefore, as the regent's only daughter, Princess Yuerong had lived a better life than the princesses in the palace since she was a child. Even the place she lived was extremely luxurious and extraordinary.
After arriving at Princess Yuerong's boudoir, Yi Qianhuan first smelled an extremely strong smell of medicine.
"Open the window first to ventilate. The air in the room is not circulating, which is not good for Feng Shui." Yi Qianhuan and the other maids opened the window before walking towards Princess Yuerong who was lying on the bed.
Princess Yuerong was born beautiful and pretty, but now her face, which was as lively as a lily, was covered with a thick layer of evil spirit.
If the princess' chest hadn't been rising and falling with her breathing, she would have looked no different from a dead person.
Yi Qianhuan sat beside the bed, carefully observing Princess Yuerong's condition.
Bei Zhanye stood nervously by the side, and waited until Yi Qianhuan had almost finished checking before asking, "Excuse me, Madam, how is Yue'er doing?"
Yi Qianhuan shook his head without answering, then turned to the maid and ordered, "Bring me some strong liquor, as long as it's strong enough, it doesn't matter what it is."
Bei Zhanye urged the maid: "Go quickly!"
The maid quickly left the room, and when she came back she was holding a bowl of girl's red wine in her hand.
Yi Qianhuan asked Liuli to take out yellow paper and cinnabar from the tool box, and then asked about Princess Beizhanye's birth date.
After writing the princess's birth date on the talisman paper, Yi Qianhuan pierced the princess's finger again and poured his heart and blood into the writing on the yellow talisman: "My lord, if the princess is sick, the yellow talisman cannot be ignited."
After taking a sip of liquor and spraying it on the yellow talisman, Yi Qianhuan took the lit white candle from Liuli's hand and brought the flame closer to the yellow talisman.
The yellow talisman was immediately ignited by the flames.
The originally red flame twisted at a speed visible to the naked eye, and then turned blue!
The strange green flame grew hands and feet, like a twisted imp, trying hard to escape from the talisman, and let out sharp and piercing screams.
"What is this?!" Bei Zhanye was shocked. After watching the yellow talisman being burned to ashes, the strange scene just now also disappeared.
"This thing is a part of the evil spirit that possessed the princess. It's just that I just pulled out some of the evil spirit from the princess' body, and did not completely eliminate it. However, from this point alone, we can infer that the princess is not sick, but has been hit by an evil spell similar to a curse." There was a heaviness in Yi Qianhuan's voice.
If Princess Yuerong was cursed, then the princess was most likely in the same situation.
This curse is very strong. Logically speaking, Baili Ting, as the imperial teacher, should have been invited to check on the princess' condition. But why did Baili Ting never mention it?
If Baili Ting said it was a curse, the Regent would not think that the princess was simply sick.
"How could I be cursed?" Bei Zhanye's worry was written all over his face. "Madam, how can I get rid of this curse?"
"This is not an evil curse from Yunzhao Kingdom, it's more like a curse from the northern border. In order to ensure the princess's safety, the best way is to find the person who cast the curse and then remove the curse." Yi Qianhuan said.
"Then how do we catch the person who cast the curse now?" Bei Zhan Ye asked.
"This is not difficult. The princess has only been cursed for a short time, and it takes a while for this kind of curse to take effect on the princess. In other words, the person who cursed her should be someone who often appears around the princess. Your Highness, please gather everyone in the palace first, and I will see if there are any suspicious people among them."
Bei Zhanye agreed immediately and quickly gathered everyone in the palace.
Therefore, all the housekeepers, maids, attendants, and gatekeepers in the Regent's Palace were brought in for inspection.
In particular, the maids who were responsible for taking personal care of Princess Yuerong were strictly checked for fear of any mistakes.
But what surprised Yi Qianhuan was that after a careful check, she did not find any suspicious people.
"Is there anyone else in the palace who hasn't come yet? Regardless of their identities, anyone who has entered and left the palace in the past few days must come here for inspection." Yi Qianhuan said.
"Madam, our young prince has not been examined yet." At this time, a maidservant who served Princess Yuerong stood up and continued weakly: "The young prince and the princess met a few days ago. Perhaps the young prince knows the princess's condition."
After hearing this, the princess's nurse wanted to rush over and slap the maid: "What nonsense! The young prince is the princess's elder brother. How dare you, a lowly servant, doubt the young prince?"
"I've said it before, anyone from the Regent's Mansion is a suspect. Even the Regent has just been examined by me, so the young prince is no exception." Yi Qianhuan insisted.
"What the Crown Prince's wife said is very true. Come, bring He Yingchen here." Bei Zhanye ordered.
Unexpectedly, after hearing this, the butler showed an embarrassment: "Your Majesty, we went to look for the young prince. But the young prince stayed in Baihua Tower last night and has not gotten up yet..."
Beizhan's wild forehead muscles throbbed wildly: "He didn't get up yet, can't you force him to get up? That little bastard, his sister was in such a big trouble, and he actually went to that kind of place to have fun!"
The steward was still trying to find a way to shirk responsibility for Bei Yingchen: "Your Highness, the young prince went to Baihua Tower the day before yesterday, so he probably doesn't know the princess's situation yet."
Bei Zhanye got even angrier after hearing this: "His sister is suffering, and he, as the eldest brother, doesn't know about this. He is not a good brother! The older he gets, the more stupid he becomes! Hurry up and take people to Baihua Tower and bring that bastard back to me!"
After hearing this, the housekeeper felt even more embarrassed and said with a sad face: "Your Majesty, the guards in our palace are no match for you..."
Seeing Beizhan's face turning green, Yi Qianhuan remembered the information Liuli had mentioned to her.
The young prince Bei Yingchen of the Regent's Palace is eighteen years old this year. He is a natural born general with superb martial arts skills.
Unfortunately, this young prince is uneducated and obsessed with beauty. He is the kind of bastard who would overturn the table and refuse to appreciate the food that God is feeding him.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed the Crown Prince's wife..." Bei Zhanye was very helpless and felt ashamed, "I will go and bring that rebellious son back myself."
"Your Highness, don't worry about it. Why don't you leave this matter to me? I'll go directly to Baihua Tower to find the young prince." Yi Qianhuan said as he walked out the door. "Please wait here for a moment, Your Highness. I will bring the young prince back in less than two hours."
