Quick Wear: Random Cheats

Chapter 11 The Princess Takes the Blame and is Granted Death (11)

The reason why the news of Prince Lu's illness spread quickly in the palace was not because everyone was not afraid of death, but because some people were very afraid of death, so they tried every possible way to spread the news, hoping that the law would not punish the majority.

There are even rumors that someone is already operating it.

After all, if the people in the palace knew about it, they could kill everyone in the palace to cover up the news. But if the whole world, or even if not the whole world, the people in the entire county knew about it, it would be safer. No matter how cruel Emperor Tianwu was, he could not kill everyone in the county.

The reason why Steward Dong desperately wants to block the news while some servants in the palace desperately want to spread the news is mainly because their underlying logic is different and their identities and status are also different.

For Dong Zongguan and his men, the only chance of survival is to ensure that the news does not leak out and preserve the royal family's reputation.

But for some low-level servants in the palace, they may be silenced at any time due to the need for confidentiality. They will be safer only if more people know about it, when it is impossible to keep it confidential, or when there is no need for confidentiality anymore.

In the past, some people have saved their lives because of this.

It's no surprise that some people continue to do this today.

……

Although it was late, Dong Zongguan's confidant still went out quickly and found out about several famous local Buddhist temples and Taoist temples at a very fast speed. Then, of course, he quickly sent people to invite the abbot and the master of the temple.

As for the reason, I certainly can’t tell it directly.

It doesn’t matter whether you are willing or not!
Anyway, the final result was that less than an hour later, they successfully invited four abbots and three temple masters, all of whom were invited from nearby temples and Taoist temples with more incense. As for lower-level wizards and witches, they were not willing to invite them for the time being.

I'm too lazy to even catch it!
The four monks and three Taoists were just invited into the Immortal Palace with trepidation. Before they could even see the King of Lu's appearance or why they were invited, the kitchen manager hurriedly took Qian San, who was in charge of cutting up whole pigs and sheep, to report that a pig was missing.

In the past, even just an hour and a half ago, they would have dared to disturb Steward Dong with such a small matter.

They all got scolded.

But at this moment, the situation is obviously different.

Dong Huaide immediately thought of the incident in which Prince Lu's hands and feet turned into pig's trotters because of the lost pig.

Even though there is no evidence to suggest a definite connection between the two, he subconsciously feels that there are no such coincidences in the world and that there must be a connection between them:
"The mansion is under martial law right now. No one is allowed to enter or leave. You two, hurry up and find out where the missing pig is. Has it been stolen? I want the answer within an hour."

If it could be confirmed that the lost pig was not stolen, but simply disappeared out of thin air.

This would indirectly prove that the reason King Lu became what he is today must be related to the missing pig, or to the person who caused the pig to disappear. In this way, at least it would not be a random investigation without any clue.

At least there is a direction for investigation.

After sending the kitchen steward and Qian San away with a few words, Dong Huaide hurried to see the monks and Taoist priests he had sent for, and immediately said briefly and seriously:

"His Royal Highness Prince Lu is in trouble, or perhaps even possessed by an evil spirit. I don't know if you guys are truly capable, but no matter what, you must exorcise the evil spirit for Prince Lu. If you succeed, and His Royal Highness Prince Lu regains consciousness, he will certainly be generous with his reward."

If you are just a mediocre person and have no ability.

Just stay in this palace first.

We will submit a petition and await His Majesty's decision!" As soon as these words came out, the four monks and three Taoists could not help but break out in cold sweats. The prince was possessed by an evil spirit, and yet he had to ask them to exorcise it. No matter how he thought about it, it felt like bad luck.

Even if you succeed, you have to consider confidentiality. You may not be able to save your life, and if you fail, you will be doomed.

A monk wanted to retreat on the spot.

He thought that since he hadn't seen the King of Lu yet, he might still have a chance to leave. But if he did, it would be impossible to leave. However, he had just taken a step forward, and before he could even open his mouth to speak, the guards who had been watching them drew their swords and retreated in fear, not daring to say a word.

"Calm down when you get in. Don't get startled or you'll scare Prince Lu. You should understand..."

Dong Huaide's words were indeed for their own good, although he was actually afraid that Prince Lu's appearance would scare them. But if they showed expressions of fear or disgust after entering and Prince Lu saw them and remembered them, once Prince Lu recovered, who would he be able to forgive with his petty mind?

It was based on this consideration that the four eunuchs including Zhang Huai were not allowed to go in directly to see Prince Lu.

And those monks and Taoists, without the real ability to exorcise demons, have to be eloquent, be able to read other people's expressions, and even understand some basic psychology, in order to have a certain reputation.

So naturally everyone understands.

They also expressed their gratitude to Dong Zongguan for his suggestions.

Only then, led by Dong Huaide, they entered the back bedroom of the Immortal Palace and saw Doctor Wang sitting beside the bed with a sad face, and Prince Lu Zhu Qin, whose appearance was enough to make them gasp, and even almost blurt out the word "monster".

Even if everyone is already prepared in their hearts.

It's still difficult to keep calm.

It took a while for them to calm down, and they looked at each other in bewilderment. On the surface, everyone seemed to be calm, but those monks and Taoists could undoubtedly see the despair in each other's eyes. They had never seen such a person being possessed by an evil spirit that could turn their hands into pig's trotters!
Oh my god! It’s fatal! It’s over!!!
Several people were definitely roaring like this deep in their hearts!

“Is there any way to exorcise the evil spirit?
Do you need to come over and take a closer look, or check carefully? If there is anything you need to prepare, such as black dog blood, you can also tell us directly, and we will definitely prepare everything for you as soon as possible."

Dong Huaide looked at them with hope.

As long as they can really exorcise the evil spirits, then this matter will be much easier to handle, and his life will be much safer.

It’s definitely hello! I’m hello! Everyone is hello!

"Who is this?" Monk Yuanming didn't dare to give any guarantees at all. He could only change the subject and ask who the old man who was sitting on the edge of the bed with a sad face was.

They are all outsiders.

Naturally, I don’t know Doctor Wang.

"That's the palace physician, his surname is Wang. He was the one who confirmed that His Highness Prince Lu is not ill. By the way, you can ask him directly about His Highness's health."

As soon as Dong Huaide said this, the curiosity of several monks and Taoists turned to resentment when they looked at Doctor Wang. "You're just a doctor, if you can't cure the disease, then you can't cure it. Why are you accusing them of being possessed by an evil spirit and implicating them?" Even though the Prince of Lu looked like he was possessed, they had no power to exorcise the evil spirit.

I don't want to blame myself, so I can only blame others.
