Consort Yun mentioned a voodoo that Feng Yu Heng had also thought of. This was also the reason why she hadn't dared to do anything to Consort Yuanshu or the Eighth Prince. If Emperor Tianwu had only been poisoned, or if it was just a normal voodoo, or if it was the same as the voodoo that Lü Ping was afflicted with, where he could be saved as long as the person who raised the voodoo died, she wouldn't hesitate to kill the other party, even if it meant killing the wrong person. But what she was afraid of was this type of voodoo.
Imperial Concubine Yun continued to speak, she said: "The old village master resolved the doubts of the people in the village, letting us know that there are two ways to cast a Heart Gu. One is through one's own will, casting a curse to bewitch them. For example, if a woman was unrequited in love with a man and cast this type of voodoo on him, if the man didn't end up with her or had a change of heart midway, then it would be equivalent to the voodoo being broken. She would suffer a backlash and the person who cast the spell would die. The other way was when both parties agreed and loved each other wholeheartedly. But if one party changed their mind, then both of them would die. The old chief looked at the two corpses at the time and asserted that this was clearly the second way. Under the condition that both of them agreed, a double death voodoo was cast. "
After she finished speaking, she looked at Feng Yu Heng and voiced her guess, "I don't believe that Xuan Zhan would let someone cast this double death voodoo. But if the other party wanted to cast this type of voodoo, then they might have thought of all sorts of methods, such as …"
"For example, first using a method to make Imperial Father hallucinate and make Imperial Father think that Consort Yuanshu is you, Imperial Mother. Then, this type of voodoo would be easy to cast." This was Feng Yu Heng's analysis, and her words made sense, "This type of hallucination isn't difficult at all. I don't know if this type of voodoo exists, but at least I can use medical methods to make people hallucinate. The process isn't complicated."
Consort Yun nodded, "I think so too, so …"
"That's why Consort Yuanshu and the Eighth Prince can't die, because we can't be sure who planted the Gu and who raised them." In the end, she was only left with helplessness. In the end, nothing had changed. Everything was just their one-sided guess. Although this guess was very likely to be infinitely close to the truth, as long as the truth was not in their hands, they could not be at ease. Now, she had to protect Consort Yuanshu and Eighth Brother from death. She was so angry that her teeth itched. After all, her younger brother was still in the palace!
Feng Yu Heng accompanied Consort Yun to chat, from Xiangrong's matter to the heart Gu, and after that, she hoped that Feng Yu Heng could think of a way to steal that white tiger out of Winter Moon Palace for her. She was really bored in Chun Palace, at least there was someone to relieve her boredom. Feng Yu Heng agreed.
And on Xiangrong's side, a few exquisite pastries were also prepared. She learned her skills from An Shi. Back then, An Shi was the best at making pastries. When Yao Shi was in the capital, she loved to eat the pastries An Shi made the most. As a result, someone with ulterior motives did something to the pastries, harming Yao Shi.
Today, Xiangrong showed off her skills in Chun Palace. Just as the lid was lifted, that fragrant and sweet smell made all the servants in Chun Palace salivate. There was even an old granny who said: "It's even more fragrant than the ones made by the most famous pastry shop in the capital. I just don't know how it compares to the imperial kitchen in the palace."
Xiangrong was a little embarrassed by what she said, quickly saying: "What are you saying, Granny, it's just some small skills that can't be shown on the table. It's something I make myself, how can it be compared to the imperial kitchen in the palace."
"That might not be the case!" Another female cook at the side spoke up, "This Servant remembers that the palace had also rewarded pastries to our palace. Although we have not eaten them, we have seen them. Although they are more exquisite, the smell is not as fragrant as Third Young Miss'. Third Young Miss, such delicious pastries, His Highness will definitely like them. "
Xiangrong's face turned red from what she said. She quickly picked up the pastries and put them in a food box then left in a hurry. Only the kind laughter in the kitchen was left. Everyone knew, this was a good match that Consort Yun chose for His Highness the Seventh Prince. Although she was a concubine's daughter in Feng Manor in the past, and now that Feng Manor had declined to such a state, her status was a little lacking. But the most amazing thing about this Third Young Miss was that she had another identity: Princess Yu's younger sister. The value of this identity was too great. With Royal Consort Yu covering her, who would dare to not treat this Feng Third Young Miss as an important guest? Haven't you heard? Even the Fourth Prince is praising him highly! They just did not know if Feng Third Young Miss had the fortune to be together with His Highness the Seventh Prince.
When Xiangrong came out of the kitchen, she was immediately stunned. She did not know where Xuan Tianhua was! Consort Yun only mentioned to let her make pastries and send them to Xuan Tianhua, but Chun Palace was so big. Although she had come here before, she had only come into contact with the tip of the iceberg. Where was she supposed to find him now?
Luckily, there were many servants in the palace and they were all very kind. She asked around and finally a servant told her: "His Highness the Seventh Prince is in the pavilion in the back garden. Third Young Miss, follow this small path and you will see a man-made lake after going around a bamboo forest. There is a bridge that leads directly to the centre of the lake. You will be able to see His Highness the Seventh Prince from the pavilion connected to it."
Xiangrong gave her thanks and hurriedly walked in that direction with the food box. After walking for about 15 minutes, she finally saw that man-made lake. A long stone bridge led to the centre of the lake and it was connected to a pavilion. As expected, a man was sitting with his side facing her direction. He was dressed in white and with the snowflakes that had just been blown up, he looked like a celestial in a painting.
Xiangrong was a little hesitant and suddenly felt that she should not destroy such a beautiful scene at this time. Xuan Tianhua paired with this pavilion in the centre of the lake, in addition to this light snow, it was as beautiful as a painting. A celestial in a painting had quietly descended to the mortal world and sat alone. How could a mortal family go up and disturb him?
She should not be delusional … … The hand holding the food box tightened a little. Her palm hurt from holding the square food box, but she was still unable to loosen her grip. She was thinking, there were too many people in the world who liked the Seventh Prince. Was everyone like her? Worried when she could not see him but hesitated and did not dare to go forward when she saw him? A girl's heart was secretly in love. If she took a step forward, would it be hell or a flower blooming?
In the end, she still did not have the courage to take another step forward! Xiangrong sighed bitterly and silently turned around. She wanted to leave, but at the moment she turned around, she saw the person in the pavilion move slightly. His gaze looked straight in her direction and met her panicked eyes and her wildly beating heart.
Xiangrong stopped in her tracks. She did not know if she should move forward or retreat. But she saw the person in the pavilion gently waving at her. Again and again, it was as if he was summoning a spirit. She did not even realize that she had already taken a step forward. When she finally came back to her senses, she had already walked past the stone bridge and arrived at the pavilion. She stood opposite Xuan Tianhua.
Xiangrong quivered and quickly bowed in greeting. But she heard Xuan Tianhua say: "I am not a man-eating demon. Why do you look so afraid of me?" As he spoke, he took the initiative to stand up and took the food box from Xiangrong's hands. When he opened it, the slightly cold pastries still had a fragrance. Even Xuan Tianhua could not help but praise: "Such good craftsmanship."
She was stunned and asked subconsciously: "How did Your Highness the Seventh Prince know that I made it?"
Xuan Tianhua could not help but laugh, "If you did not make it, why would you bring the food box here? Wouldn't it be fine if you brought a servant? " He looked at Xiangrong and was a little absent-minded. After a while, he said: "Even you have grown so big. I remember when I first saw you, you were only this tall." He reached out and gestured a height. It was Xiangrong who was only ten years old at that time. But he also felt that it was Feng Yu Heng who was already twelve years old. The two sisters crossed each other. Even the picturesque and fairy-like Xuan Tianhua was dazed for a moment.
Xiangrong felt inferior in front of Xuan Tianhua. She was so inferior that she wanted to find a hole to hide in. No matter what, she felt that she was not worthy to stand in front of this person. She would only ruin this painting. But Xuan Tianhua said to her: "Sit. What are you standing for? I still need to look up when I talk to you." After saying this, he even took off his cloak and covered the chair opposite him. He then said: "There is some light snow on it. Sitting like this will prevent you from catching a cold."
Xiangrong wanted to thank him, but felt that saying thank you to the two of them would spoil the mood. So she also sat down in a daze. Xuan Tianhua's cloak still carried his body heat. For a moment, her face turned red.
But Xuan Tianhua did not care about this. Instead, he reached out and picked up a piece of dessert and handed it to Xiangrong. After she received it, he also picked up a piece for himself. After taking a bite, he began to talk about the situation in the capital.
This was the first time Xiangrong had heard about the situation in the capital so completely. Although Feng Yu Heng had told her about it before, she did not talk about it in detail. Most of the time, she only mentioned it briefly. Regarding the changes in Emperor Tianwu in the palace, as well as Consort Yuanshu and the Eighth Prince being favoured, this was the first time she heard about it so directly.
But the more direct it was, the more shocked she was. Xiangrong could not understand why Emperor Tianwu would suddenly become like this? Why would Consort Yuanshu suddenly be favoured? So much so that the Seventh Prince and the Ninth Prince had no choice but to bring Consort Yun out of the palace. Only then could they feel at ease?
All of her doubts were written all over her face; however, Xuan Tian Hua could not give her an answer, even telling her: "We also don't know why this is. Even if we have too many guesses, they are just guesses. After investigating for so long, there are still no results. "He looked at Xiangrong and said from the bottom of his heart:" You should not have come back. The capital is dangerous. "
Xiangrong silently shook her head. Her initial nervousness had faded away, as she completely immersed herself in the situation in the capital. She said to Xuan Tianhua: "Second sister also said that I should not have come back, but I feel that my choice to come back was correct. This is a problem that all of you can face, so I should not avoid it. I am a child of the Feng family, and I am Princess Ji An's younger sister. Blindly retreating and living under the protection of my elder sister is not what I truly want. Although I will not be able to help much by coming back, at the very least, second sister needs someone to accompany her. She will not be alone. "
Xuan Tianhua smiled and said: "Right now, you have your brother-in-law."
"That's different." Xiangrong told him: "Brother-in-law is different from younger sister. As for what exactly is different, I can't say. It's just a feeling. After all, younger sister represents blood relatives."
Xuan Tianhua watched this child speak about her thoughts with a serious expression. From time to time, she would raise her eyebrows like Feng Yu Heng when she was thinking. He could not help but sigh. He asked Xiangrong: "You are currently living in the Imperial Palace Yu?"
Xiangrong nodded, "I was originally going to live in the embroidery shop, but second sister said that there was no place to live there and insisted that I live with her."
Xuan Tianhua thought for a while, but said something that made Xiangrong's heart jump: "Why don't … … you stay in Chun Palace!"
