Lord Luo's deep voice rang in everyone's ears: "The specific person cannot be confirmed, but the celestial signs indicate that this cursed lone star is someone whose name contains both wood and water."
"Someone whose name contains both wood and water?" The courtier repeated Lord Luo's words, and everyone's expression turned solemn.
Lord Luo nodded and explained to the emperor, "It is because this person's name contains both wood and water that he caused the landslide and the flash flood. If this person is allowed to endanger the court on Heyan Mountain, the consequences will be unimaginable!"
The courtiers frowned, pondering over names containing both wood and water elements, while the emperor remained silent. Just then, they heard a commotion outside.
Emperor Guangqi frowned and looked at Eunuch Shen beside him. Eunuch Shen understood immediately and went out to check the situation.
He quickly returned to his tent and addressed the emperor, saying, "Your Majesty, the Tibetan holy maiden has been found."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Guangqi's eyes darkened for a moment, then he stood up: "How is he? I'll go see him?"
After a moment of silence, Shen Gonggong spoke again, his voice much softer: "The person is gone. The witch doctor said there was no hope, and they are currently performing a ritual to send the soul to the afterlife."
Emperor Guangqi paused for a moment, then asked, "The witch doctor says it won't work, so what about the imperial physician?"
Shen Gonggong took a deep breath, his expression becoming even more solemn: "The Holy Maiden is of unparalleled purity, and Tibetans do not allow outsiders to touch her, so our imperial physicians cannot do anything about it. They can only watch helplessly from the sidelines."
"However, Prince Xiu invited Lady He to the Tibetan camp. She is a woman and knows medicine, so she is the most suitable. I just don't know how the situation is."
"The commotion just now came from the Tibetan camp."
"Did Song Xizhi go to see her? Didn't she fall into the flash flood during the day?" Emperor Guangqi frowned slightly, then turned and left the tent.
Seeing the emperor's actions, the courtiers behind him also followed him out.
But Lord Luo of the Astronomical Observatory was standing there, recalling the emperor's words, muttering to himself, "Song Xizhi?"
As the group followed Emperor Guangqi to the Tibetan camp, they heard the shaman's almost shrill voice cursing, "The people of Daqian killed the Holy Maiden! And now they want to defile her soul!"
"So you're the jinx! You're the real troublemaker!"
"If this woman is allowed to live, the world will surely be in turmoil! Prince, you must stop her! If this continues, Heaven will surely bring calamity upon Tibet!"
The words of the Tibetan shaman reached his ears, and Emperor Guangqi frowned. He suddenly lifted the curtain of the tent and saw Song Xizhi lying on top of a girl, his hands on her chest, pressing hard.
The girl didn't react for a while, then the woman clenched her teeth, pinched the girl's nose, and was about to kiss her on the lips.
Everyone present was horrified by what they saw.
"Prince! This woman is so licentious, trampling on the body of a saint! Are there any healers in the world who treat patients like this?"
"Song Xizhi! What are you doing?"
The voices of the witch doctor and the prince rang out simultaneously.
Song Xizhi ignored their questions, straightened up, took a deep breath, and continued to bend down to perform artificial respiration on the little girl.
The CPR was ineffective, and my master said that if we encounter this situation, we must use artificial respiration.
Silence fell once more within the tent, but then a terrified voice rang out:
"Song Xizhi! She has both wood and water in her name! So she's the jinx!"
"She's the jinx who ruined the Fengshan Ceremony!"
These words shocked the entire audience.
"Your Highness! Your Highness! What did I say! This woman is a jinx!" The witch doctor was the first to react, crying as he addressed the Tibetan prince.
The Tibetan envoys, who had been kneeling on the ground, all narrowed their eyes and finally came to their senses. They watched as Song Xizhi, panting heavily, was doing something unspeakable to their holy Tibetan goddess.
They immediately believed the witch doctor's words, and in a panic, they scrambled to their feet. They rushed forward and grabbed Song Xizhi's hands, stopping her from moving.
Before Song Xizhi could successfully rescue him, she was suddenly stopped. She gritted her teeth and tried to rush forward, but her hands were bound and she could not move.
"Let go of me! I'm saving someone! She's about to come back to life!"
Song Xizhi stared intently at the little girl on the stretcher, her heart filled with resentment. She glared at the witch doctor beside her and said, "A life is about to be lost because of you. You deserve to die!"
The witch doctor felt Song Xizhi's gaze, which was like that of a mother beast. He quickly lowered his eyes, not daring to meet Song Xizhi's gaze, and whispered, "You are a jinx, having taken the lives of so many innocent people!"
You're the one who deserves to die!
The Tibetan prince stood there dumbfounded, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment: "What on earth is going on?"
Emperor Guangqi also looked in the direction of Lord Luo with a very solemn expression: "What exactly is going on?"
Lord Luo glanced at Song Xizhi, then explained to the crowd, "The reason for the strange phenomenon that occurred during the Fengshan ceremony was because a jinxed star infiltrated the ceremony."
"This person's name contains both wood and water, which caused the flash floods and landslides. And that person is Song Xizhi! Just as this witch doctor said, she now wants to defile the saintess's remains!"
"If we don't deal with this jinx, I'm afraid more disasters will follow. After that, the entire Great Gan will perish at this woman's hands!"
Lord Luo's words left everyone present speechless, and when they looked at Song Xizhi, their attitude was one of utter avoidance.
Even Emperor Guangqi's expression changed drastically upon hearing this, and his voice suddenly became very deep: "The Directorate of Astronomy, are you telling the truth? How can you be so sure?"
Lord Luo nodded firmly: "What I have said is absolutely true."
Prince Yu calmly curled the corners of his mouth at this moment: "If Lord Luo says so, then I do recall that everything has been unsettled since Song Xizhi came to this Fengshan ceremony."
"Not only did red spots appear on Madam Zhao's body, but a treacherous eunuch also appeared in Consort Li's courtyard. Even Eunuch Shen, who served the Emperor, was assassinated. It's possible that all of this is because of Song Xizhi, this jinx!"
"Father, please make a decision quickly!"
Upon hearing this and sensing Prince Yu's ambiguous smile, Song Xizhi instantly understood everything.
Her initial anxiety was instantly enveloped by a heavy gloom, and the faces before her transformed into monstrous, bloodless demons.
Song Xi's sarcasm was sharp and resounding: "Strange celestial phenomena?"
"What if it was all man-made? That person, for their own selfish gain, did not hesitate to damage diplomatic relations between the two countries and even caused a death! What crime should they be charged with?"
