Chapter 93 Take this opportunity to kick her out

Under the warning gaze of Consort Yu, Yu Jiaojiao ultimately dared not say anything.

Now that her ears were finally at peace, Yu Zhiyi wasted no more time and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager is not ill, but rather an evil spirit has entered her body, and that evil spirit is gradually eroding her mind."

"Although the medicines prescribed by the imperial physicians were ineffective in clearing away the evil spirits, they were all medicines that strengthened the body's resistance and activated the Empress's own defense mechanisms. Therefore, although the Empress seemed to be out of her mind, she was actually still conscious. She was just fighting against the evil spirits and had no time to control her words and actions."

"But the medicine prescribed by this fake doctor ruined the efficacy of the medicine prescribed by the imperial physicians, causing the Empress to lose her senses and fall into a coma."

Actually, falling into a coma is the best state to be in. If she could remain conscious or suddenly wake up in this situation, that would be terrible.

Consort Yu knew that Yu Jiaojiao had always disliked Yu Zhiyi, so she kept her eyes fixed on Yu Jiaojiao while Yu Zhiyi was speaking.

In this situation, regardless of whether Yu Zhiyi has a solution or not, Yu Jiaojiao cannot speak again.

Even if Yu Zhiyi really can't be cured or causes more serious problems, as long as it has nothing to do with Yu Jiaojiao, she can find a way to help her niece and two nephews clear their names afterwards.

As a result, she kept her eyes on Yu Jiaojiao, but couldn't resist her foolish nephew.

Yu Zixuan angrily rebuked, "Nonsense! Her Majesty is clearly just ill. What evil spirit invasion? Stop making it sound so mysterious!"

Yu Mengqin was somewhat annoyed that he couldn't stop his younger brother.

But in truth, he also agreed with Yu Zixuan's words.

Yu Zhiyi didn't even glance at her. In Hongluan's words, if you can't ignore the annoying things people say, then just treat them like gas produced in your stomach after the five grains have gone through their cycle.

Why are you getting angry over a few stench fumes?

It's not about lowering one's standards.

"Your Majesty, I need a few things to awaken the Empress Dowager."

The emperor looked at her scrutinizingly, asking again, "Are you really capable of curing the Empress Dowager?"

Yu Zhiyi nodded: "Yes."

He paused, then added, "However, we must be quick. The Empress Dowager has been troubled by that evil energy for too long and is already very weak. She was only able to barely hold on thanks to those medicines that strengthen her body. Now that the medicines have been rendered ineffective, the evil energy will launch a fierce counterattack. If it succeeds, the consequences will be unimaginable."

The emperor was not unaware of such supernatural and bizarre matters, but in the past, those who could resolve these issues were Taoist priests from Longhu Mountain or highly accomplished monks who had cultivated for many years.

Although Yu Zhiyi recently demonstrated her ability to predict the future, being able to calculate doesn't necessarily mean she has the ability to eliminate evil spirits.

But Yu Zhiyi's words were serious, so he didn't dare to delay.

So, all we could do was try anything, even if it seemed hopeless.

"Okay, go ahead."

Eunuch Hu immediately took out paper and pen.

Ever since Princess Jialuo popularized pencils a century ago, it has become much easier to record things in situations requiring shorthand.

Yu Zhiyi mentioned several things.

Upon hearing this, everyone realized that it consisted entirely of cinnabar, talismans, incense, and the like.

Yu Zixuan instinctively wanted to make a sarcastic remark, but Yu Mengqin stopped his foolish younger brother in time.

He and Consort Yu had the same idea.

Regardless of the outcome of today's events, as long as those few individuals reduce their presence, there's a high probability they can extricate themselves from the situation.

Although Yu Zixuan was somewhat dissatisfied, he did not contradict his older brother.

Hmph, he opened his eyes wide and saw clearly how this ungrateful imposter made a fool of himself.

Once the fraudster's identity is exposed, he will definitely take advantage of his misfortune.

Ideally, she should take this opportunity to get her parents to kick her out of the Yu family.

While the people in the palace were busy preparing what Yu Zhiyi needed, Prince Xiaoyao also heard the news that the Empress Dowager had fallen into a coma and that Yu Zhiyi had been invited into the palace.

Ever since that palace banquet, he felt ashamed and hadn't gone out for a long time.

But when he heard that his mother was in danger and that it was related to Yu Zhiyi, how could he sit still?

He was to enter the palace immediately.

You Bingyue happened to come to see him on business and overheard the servant's report. Upon hearing this, she frowned: "Your Highness, His Majesty has been completely deceived by that woman. He actually believes that she can cure the Empress Dowager's illness?"

The Carefree King said, "It might not be an illness, but some strange and supernatural thing. If that's the case, then that woman might actually have a solution."

You Bingyue felt that the man in front of her was just like Du Ziheng, who had become stupid after meeting Yu Zhiyi: "Your Highness, if I'm not mistaken, you members of the royal family all have protective items on you, right?"

The higher the position and power of a family, the more they tend to believe in these things, and they also have their own masters they are used to.

The family members usually also have items that can be used to ward off evil spirits.

The Empress Dowager, as the emperor's birth mother, must have felt the same way.

That's just how it is with wealthy and powerful families in modern times.

The carefree prince frowned: "Yue'er guessed correctly. Since I was born, my mother has prepared talismans to ward off evil."

Now that you mention it, he remembered: "My mother and my brother also have them."

You Bingyue nodded slightly: "The things prepared by the royal family are naturally extraordinary. Even if there are evil spirits in this world, how could they possibly get close to them?"

"In my opinion, it must be Yu Zhiyi deliberately making things mysterious."

"She wanted to use this incident to solidify her title of 'goddess'."

The carefree prince's eyes narrowed: "She actually dared to set her sights on the Empress Dowager! I will not let her get away with this!"

She then looked at You Bingyue gratefully: "Yue'er, thanks to you, otherwise Mother would have become her tool. But now..."

A chilling aura surged within his handsome forehead: "I will show her what price she will pay for daring to use someone from the royal family!"

The palace servants were very quick; they brought everything Yu Zhiyi wanted in less than a quarter of an hour.

Yu Zhiyi instructed the palace servants to set up a simple altar, and then placed the talisman paper on the table in front of the altar.

The emperor asked, "Doctor Yu, is this alright?"

For an emperor who frequently participated in various sacrificial activities, this altar was rather rudimentary.

Yu Zhiyi said calmly, "It is indeed a bit simple, but time is tight and there is no time to set up a grand altar. After the evil energy in the Empress Dowager's body is cleared out and the hidden dangers are eliminated, I will perform another ritual to completely eradicate any future worries."

In fact, there was no need for any altar at all; the evil energy was something she could easily eliminate with a flick of her finger.

But before she came, she consulted a fortune teller, and the divination result indicated a strategy of procrastination.

She didn't know what fate had decreed for her to do, but she gladly did it.

However, the altar had already been set up, and she had no excuse left, so she could only prepare to perform the ritual with some doubt.

Just as they were about to make their move, an angry male voice rang out: "Stop!"

Yu Zhiyi paused, then turned to look.

Upon seeing the Prince of Xiaoyao and the Yu couple behind him, he suddenly understood.
