Everyone present didn't even dare to breathe, staring at Bian Wuji intently, waiting to hear him come up with a solution.
Bian Wuji twirled his long beard and frowned, saying, "This evil spirit is no ordinary creature. It will not be easy to drive it away."
As soon as these words were spoken, panic instantly appeared on everyone's faces.
"What should I do then?" Xia Zhengqi looked worried.
[Why do I feel even more that this old man is talking nonsense and exaggerating?]
Xia Miaoyuan stretched out his chubby little hand, scratched his head, and looked at Bian Wuji suspiciously.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry too much." The corners of Bian Wuji's lips curled slightly.
"This evil creature is from heaven and cannot be driven away or killed with ordinary magic."
"I have set up a magic circle in the palace, and it will no longer harm people. I will pray and perform rituals every day, and when its merits are fulfilled, it will ascend to heaven."
When everyone heard this, their frowns immediately relaxed.
"Oh, that would be great."
"Then don't worry."
Several concubines couldn't help but cheer in a low voice.
Xia Zhengqi's expression also softened a lot.
"However, there is a prerequisite!" Bian Wuji said seriously.
"What are the conditions?" Xia Zhengqi asked.
Bian Wuji said calmly, "All the pure Yin people in the palace must move out and pray for blessings every day."
"Because this evil spirit loves to possess people of pure yin. Before successfully exorcising it, be sure to hide the pure yin person in a safe place."
"The Jiang family it possessed this time was pure Yin."
Xia Miaoyuan was stunned.
[What? A pure Yin person! What's going on? Why does it feel like there's something fishy going on?]
Xia Zhengqi's brows relaxed again when he heard this: "Okay, okay, that's easy to say."
Bian Wuji walked silently to the altar, picked up the pen and started writing.
"Your Majesty, those with these eight characters are pure yin." Bian Wuji handed a piece of paper to Eunuch Debao beside him.
Xia Zhengqi waved his hand and said, "This is easy. Debao, go get the list and compare it. All the names of the palace maids, concubines, and princes are needed."
The roster recorded everyone's birth information. Debao and a few young eunuchs quickly searched for it and found the results in less than half an hour.
Debao came forward with a piece of paper and reported: "Your Majesty, the person on this paper is a pure Yin person."
Xia Zhengqi looked at Bian Wuji and asked, "Is it okay for me to pick them all out and bring them to Fanyin Temple to stay?"
Bian Wuji twirled his white beard and nodded, "Very good. Just let them pray for blessings every day."
Xia Zhengqi's brows relaxed a lot, and he waved his hand and ordered: "Debao, do it according to this!"
Debao, contrary to his usual behavior, did not agree immediately. Instead, he stood in front of Xia Zhengqi with an embarrassed look on his face.
"What's wrong, Debao?" Xia Zhengqi asked seriously.
"The virtuous concubine is also here." Debao stammered.
When the Empress Dowager heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up.
Xia Miaoyuan was so shocked that her mouth couldn't close. [Wow! They're coming for Concubine Xian!]
Xia Zhengqi frowned, looked at Concubine Xian and said, "Concubine Xian, for the sake of peace in the palace, I'm sorry to have to put you in such a difficult position."
As the person behind the Jiang Qiqiu incident, Concubine Xian had been watching the fun from a distance.
She looked down upon Bian Wuji the entire time as he talked nonsense.
But she never expected that she would end up eating the melon herself.
Concubine Xian was shocked: "Your Majesty, I am not..."
The virtuous concubine wanted to say that she was not a pure yin person at all, because her information on the list was false. It was her birth date and time that were made up by Lord Niu when he helped her enter the palace.
This Mr. Niu is really something. Why did he make up a birth date that is purely yin?
But as soon as she said the word "no", Concubine Xian realized that she had spoken out of turn and immediately covered her mouth with a handkerchief.
"Your Majesty, I don't want to go to the Fanyin Temple." Concubine Xian looked at Xia Zhengqi pitifully.
"I can't bear to leave you!"
Fanyin Temple is a royal temple, located ten miles outside the palace. Once you enter Fanyin Temple, it is equivalent to leaving the palace.
Moreover, this time it is for this reason that once you enter the Fanyin Temple, you will definitely be strictly guarded.
It is equivalent to being imprisoned and completely losing personal freedom.
"Father!" With a thud, the Fourth Prince suddenly ran over and knelt in front of Xia Zhengqi.
The fourth prince, Xia Chengyue, is the son of Concubine Xian and her only child.
"My mother is a concubine of Daxia. How can she live in Fanyin Temple?!"
"Besides, my mother has always had good luck, so the evil spirit will definitely not possess her."
"Please, father, take back your order!" The fourth prince's voice trembled with excitement.
"Jiang Qiqiu was a royal concubine before, but she was still possessed." Rongpin said sarcastically.
Back then, because of her exceptional beauty, Concubine Rong was envied and suppressed by Jiang Qiqiu. As a die-hard supporter of Concubine Jiang, Concubine Xian helped Concubine Jiang suppress her.
Hahahaha, it’s God’s will, no one can escape it.
When Rongpin heard that Concubine Xian was also a pure yin person and was going to be taken to Fanyin Temple, she felt like she had received a blessing from heaven.
I asked you to beg for mercy, I asked you to beg for mercy, but I’ll give you another stab!
"Okay! Shut up!" Xia Zhengqi shouted.
"Fang Fei, this matter concerns the safety of the entire palace. Please understand me." Xia Zhengqi said with a bitter face.
The virtuous concubine's eyes instantly lost their luster and she stood there in a daze.
"Empress Xian, please come with me quickly." Eunuch Debao walked up to Empress Xian and urged her.
"You are not allowed to take my mother away! Who of you dares?" The Fourth Prince stood up regardless and pushed Debao hard.
Debao was pushed back several steps and stumbled to the ground.
"It must be this old Taoist who is spreading rumors and misleading the people! What nonsense!" The Fourth Prince pointed at Bian Wuji and cursed.
The Empress Dowager, who had been silent the entire time, stood up and scolded, "Chengyue, how dare you slander the Imperial Preceptor in public?! This is truly outrageous!"
The Queen also chimed in, "Yes, Chengyue, how could the Imperial Master allow you to slander him so freely?"
"Calm down."
The Fourth Prince became even more agitated, his eyes reddening as he shouted viciously, "This old Taoist is talking nonsense. None of you can take Mother away!"
"Fourth Prince, don't be like this." Lipin advised.
The other concubines also tried to persuade her.
The Fourth Prince seemed to have lost his mind and stood in front of Concubine Xian.
Xia Zhengqi said coldly, "What are you still standing there for? Why don't you drag the Fourth Prince away?"
Two strong guards stepped forward and lifted the fourth prince up like a chicken.
Xianfei's eyes reddened, tears welling up in her eyes: "Your Majesty, please forgive Chengyue's disrespect. I am willing to go to Fanyin Temple to pray for blessings."
