Chapter 1716 This Focus
Zhou Shiyue frowned when he heard Yin Yunting's description of the grape ghost.
Just hearing that made him feel uneasy, and he figured that the girl from the Yao family must be in a lot of pain because of all those things inside her body.
"What is the purpose of this thing? In the evening, my uncle told me to bring Doctor Fu out quickly. Will the ghost energy harm people, or will it frighten them? What will happen if this ghost energy is not released?"
Yin Yunting said, "Those ghostly energies can certainly harm people, and they can penetrate into a person's body. If a person is somewhat compatible with a wisp of ghostly energy that has penetrated into their body, then that wisp of ghostly energy will remain in their body and will slowly affect that person."
"It's like a person's vitality and ghostly energy gradually merging together, and that person will become abnormal."
"Because these ghostly energies are collected from different vengeful ghosts, they are all different, and the ferocity of the ghostly energy varies. After being affected, the changes in that person will also be different."
"But overall, the changes are trending towards the negative."
"Generally speaking, a cluster of grape ghosts will collect at least a dozen or even dozens of wisps of ghost energy."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Shiyue's expression changed. "So if we don't control her today, all this ghostly energy will drift out, and then all the people drinking the wedding feast at the Prince's Mansion could have their bodies invaded by the ghostly energy?"
He had barely finished speaking when he immediately rejected the guess before Yin Yunting could reply.
"No, it's not just that. If it were just that, there would be no need to plot against the Crown Prince, and there would be no need for Jin Xi to appear."
Yin Changxing spoke up at this moment, "That's right, that's what I think too. So we just discussed it, and it's possible that they're using the Prince of Jin's wedding banquet today to take action against the Crown Prince."
Zhou Shiyue looked at them, waiting to hear what they had to say.
Weng Songzhi also said with a serious expression, "If this kind of grape ghost only wants to absorb the life force of a human body and make it grow so that it can burst out with power to harm people, it can choose a man or an old man. There are no specific requirements."
"But it is now being fostered in a young girl, and it has even arranged for her to be alone in a room with the Crown Prince, and used poisonous drugs on both of them. This means that the other party still wants the Crown Prince to have an intimate relationship with Miss Yao."
Zhou Shiyue's brows remained furrowed; he was somewhat puzzled.
"But this trick is indeed a bit old-fashioned. The Crown Prince has experienced a lot in the palace, and ordinary people cannot use this plan to make him do something wrong."
In fact, the Crown Prince did not fall victim to the attack today. Even if they hadn't arrived in time, the Crown Prince should have been able to escape.
Zhou Shiyue was confident in Zhou Ze's abilities.
Regarding this matter, Yin Yunting and Yin Changxing exchanged a glance but remained silent. They had discovered that the young woman, Yao, actually possessed a disguise-enhancing Gu.
The wine that the Crown Prince had been exposed to was indeed poisonous, causing him to lose control of his body and mind. But why would the other party use a disguise curse on Miss Yao? This was something they couldn't figure out.
Unless the crown prince has someone in his heart.
The disguise Gu on Miss Yao's body could make her resemble the person the Crown Prince desired for a period of time, which would cause the Crown Prince to lose control.
Yin Yunting looked at Zhou Shiyue.
He didn't know whether he should tell Zhou Shiyue about this directly.
The crown prince is, after all, the crown prince; having a girl he likes is no small matter.
If this is something Zhou Shiyue didn't know, and now he's telling us, what if Zhou Shiyue asks the Crown Prince, but the Crown Prince is unwilling to tell us?
This matter occurred at the Prince of Jin's wedding banquet today, so Zhou Shiyue would absolutely not allow the Crown Prince to conceal it. However, if he pressed the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince would become angry, and the uncle and nephew might develop a rift because of it.
But while he was still hesitating, Zhou Shiyue had already sensed something was wrong from his reaction and his eyes.
"What, is there something I don't know, or can't know?" Zhou Shiyue asked directly.
Yin Yunting had known him for several years, and after hesitating for a moment, she decided to tell him the truth, so she told him her previous guesses.
Zhou Shiyue listened and nodded, saying, "The Crown Prince did tell me before that he had a girl he liked who was outside the palace. However, I didn't ask who she was. So, the disguise Gu on that Yao girl was what made her appear to Zhou Ze as the girl he liked?"
He then added, "If that's the case, then I've noticed that the Crown Prince's feelings for that girl have faded."
"Otherwise, why would he be able to resist that temptation? When we arrived, he was determined to go out."
Yin Yunting was taken aback; he hadn't expected him to be the focus of attention.
However, after thinking about it, he nodded and agreed with Zhou Shiyue's judgment.
“What you say is not wrong. If the Crown Prince was deeply in love with that girl, he should have been unable to resist at the time.”
Zhou Shiyue recalled the Empress's purpose in coming to the Prince's Mansion today, and the words that Zhou Ze had been preventing the Empress from saying at the banquet hall. His heart sank slightly.
"Is the disguise Gu still on that Yao family girl? If I go to see her, will she also turn into Zhao Ling's appearance?"
Yin Yunting shook his head and said, "No, because you were not poisoned. The poison they used on the Crown Prince was carefully prepared, and it contained some of the mucus spat out by the disguise Gu, which is why it worked. People who are not poisoned will not show any changes."
Zhou Shiyue then asked, "What would be the consequences if their plan succeeded?"
Weng Songzhi continued, "If this Miss Yao becomes pregnant as a result, most of the ghostly energy in her body will be absorbed by the fetus. So what do you think the child will be like after it is born?"
It's unimaginable.
"The person born will indeed be human, but they will be born with a ghostly aura."
Yin Changxing added calmly, "Moreover, he will be a tyrannical and bloodthirsty person. Once the Crown Prince ascends the throne, the other party will probably do everything in their power to make the child she gave birth to the Crown Prince as well."
"No, we don't need to wait until he becomes the crown prince. Even if he becomes the grandson of the emperor, as long as he does all sorts of heinous things and goes against the will of heaven, then the retribution of heaven will fall on the royal family of the Great Zhou and on the land of the Great Zhou. At that time, the dragon vein of the Great Zhou will not need to be damaged anymore, and its destiny will be exhausted."
Zhou Shiyue: “…”
What was initially unclear to them became crystal clear after their analysis.
"So, the mastermind behind it is still the same people who wanted to bring down the Great Zhou."
