Chapter 536: Evil magic? Controlled
Chapter 536: Evil magic? Controlled
"Yes, Princess." The nanny was originally an old lady serving the Queen Mother. She was awarded by the Queen Mother to be the dowry nanny of Princess Rui because she was worried that she would be bullied. However, Nan Qing'er had a gentle personality and did not fight or compete. There was only one concubine, Wu, in the mansion, but she did not cause any trouble. However, there were rumors outside that Princess Rui was just a decoration, weak and anyone could step on her. Therefore, many people were eager to try and tried their best to enter the Rui Palace, but they were blocked one by one by the Queen Mother. Some people said that her position as princess would be handed over to someone else sooner or later, and the nanny had no choice but to let her do as she pleased.
Today, the princess suddenly stood up, which made the nanny overjoyed. She nodded repeatedly and ignored the prince's dissuasion and had Shen Youran pulled off the prince.
"Prince, please save me..." Shen Youran cried.
Hearing Shen Youran's cries, Prince Rui's heart began to ache again.
"I'm just asking you to kneel in the ancestral hall as punishment. Why are you shouting?! I'm not going to take your life!" The nanny had spent most of her life in the palace. She was best at punishing disobedient servants and concubines. Dealing with someone like Shen Youran was a piece of cake for her. She simply covered her mouth and dragged her away.
Shen Youran had no choice but to keep this grudge in her heart. Her knees were numb from kneeling, and she held on until the middle of the night before Prince Rui took her back to the courtyard. The next day, before dawn, Shen Youran knelt for so long that she cried out in pain. She finally got some sleep, but the nanny beside Nan Qing'er came again and told her to get up and pay her respects to the princess. She also warned her that she must be vigilant in the future, and not miss a thing...
After Yao Qingnian came out of Prince Rui's Mansion, he went straight to Han Junze.
"Han Junze, do you have anything that can control a person's mind without being easily discovered?"
"Master, why are you asking this? The most common ones are poisonous insects."
Yao Qingnian shook her head. She had seen poisonous insects before, but they didn't look like what King Rui was thinking. "It's not a poisonous insect, and it's not poisoning, so what could it be?"
"What happened?"
"Today I went to Prince Rui's mansion. Following the Queen Mother's order, I went to see Prince Rui and his wife. However, I unexpectedly discovered that Prince Rui's pulse was different. It seemed that he was controlled by something. There was no sign of poisoning, nor was there any other thing..."
"Could it be that it's not poisoning, but being possessed by evil spirits?"
"Bewitched?"
"Yes, I met a patient before. His symptoms were similar to what you said. His pulse was abnormal, but no problems could be found. If no intervention was made in time, he would die suddenly. This is a kind of evil magic of the Mongolians outside the Great Wall. There is someone behind the scenes controlling him. He can use the magic to control the possessed person and make him conscious, but many things are out of control. For example, if the person controlling him gives him an order, he will keep doing it. If he fails to do it, he will remember it in his heart. He will be like a possessed person, and will lose his appetite and sleep at night. In the end, he will go insane and die.
I heard that there is also a lover's spell. A man who is under this spell cannot stay too far away from the other party. He must see the other party all the time to feel at ease. He will subconsciously obey the other party and respond to all requests. If he sees the other party sad, his heart will ache. However, he will not be able to escape the fate of sudden death in the end. Moreover, if a woman is cast under this spell, she will never be able to bear children, even if timely intervention is made. The only way to solve this spell is to find the person behind the control, pull him out and destroy the spell.
Rumor has it that people who perform this kind of evil magic are usually extremely vicious. They can only maintain their human appearance by drinking human blood every day. Once they can't drink fresh human blood, they will quickly age and die. Therefore, they dare only hide in the dark and dare not come out, unless they find a hundred pairs of boys and girls, then they can restore their original appearance and their power will be doubled. "
"Hearing what you said, this is indeed possible." Thinking about what the people in Prince Rui's mansion said, Prince Rui has to go to Shen Youran every time he comes back recently, and obeys her every word. It is very likely that he has fallen into some kind of lover's spell, otherwise how could Prince Rui let go of the past and continue to favor Shen Youran.
"Master, you have to be careful. If this is really not okay, we should just ignore it or tell the Queen Mother and let them handle it themselves. The person who cast the spell is not an ordinary person. Our lives are at stake."
"What you said makes sense. It's good for the scumbag Prince Rui to be a couple with Shen Youran, so that he doesn't have to harm others. What I'm worried about is that if what you said is true, and Shen Youran teamed up with the possessed person to poison Prince Rui, then many people must have been harmed. They have to drink human blood every day, so someone must die every two or three days. If he has evil thoughts again and really captures a hundred pairs of boys and girls, tsk tsk, it's hard to imagine how many people will be desperate..."
"That's true. So what should we do? How about making a big fuss about it and letting the government intervene?"
"Will this alert the enemy and make the person behind this run away? I think I should go to Prince Rui's mansion in a couple of days, tell Princess Rui about the matter, and let them handle it on their own. We won't get involved in this matter." Prince Rui is now under a spell and will definitely listen to Shen Youran in everything.
"If the person behind this finds out, it will be dangerous for you, Master. If you need any help, just let me know."
"Okay, I understand. Don't make this public yet. I'll go check out the situation first..."
In Prince Rui's Mansion, Shen Youran had been tortured beyond recognition in the past two days. In addition to being punished by kneeling down and getting up early to pay her respects, the nanny beside Nan Qing'er would come over every day to teach her the rules and etiquette, the Three Obediences and Four Virtues, and copy the Rules and Precepts for Women. Her knees still hurt, and now her hands hurt too. It was called teaching, but in fact it was a disguised form of torture and abuse of her.
But she dared not speak out her anger, and could only complain to Prince Rui every day. Prince Rui was also very annoyed, and he wanted to go out and find some peace and quiet, but every time he left the house not long after, he would think of Shen Youran, and had to come back to stay by her side and comfort her.
That day, the nanny came again. Shen Youran couldn't stand it anymore, so when no one was paying attention, she raised the inkstone and smashed it on the nanny's head. Blood flowed from the nanny's head. She turned around, glared at Shen Youran, and then fainted. Before she fainted, she never thought that Shen Youran would dare to attack her.
"You damn old woman, I let you torture me and humiliate me! Humph! I'll beat you to death!" Thinking that the time she promised to send someone to the master in the next two days was almost up, she just happened to take this old woman, so she tied her up.
Little did she know that her action was seen clearly by someone not far away. She covered her mouth tightly, afraid that she would make any sound...
