Hibiscus is probably going to be upset.
The other day, Furong complained to her that Qi Chengshuo was following her around and taking away all the work that Furong was supposed to do. Furong had nothing to do and was getting a little annoyed with him.
When Ye Xianya arrived at the small courtyard, Furong had already handed out all the number plates.
The little girl has been moving very quickly lately. She's afraid that if she slows down any further, Qi Chengshuo will take over the job of distributing number plates and calling out numbers.
She just couldn't understand, was this prince just bored and had nothing better to do?
Otherwise, why would he stay by the princess's side the moment she arrived?
Even if he likes the princess, he shouldn't be so clingy!
"Princess, please have some tea. This servant will go and fetch someone to tell fortunes." After saying this, Shen Furong happily went out.
At least for now, this matter is still under her jurisdiction.
Many people were sitting under the eaves in the courtyard.
As before, Shen Furong first called five people into the room.
The room was large, and everyone took their number plates and sat down on chairs, then went up one by one to ask Ye Xianya to tell their fortunes.
"Princess, I am about to embark on a long journey and fear that something unexpected may happen on the way. I would be grateful if the princess could offer me some guidance." The man placed the fortune-telling coins into the white porcelain jar, bowing as he spoke.
Last time, when their escort agency was about to leave the capital to escort goods to the south, the head of the escort agency came to the princess to have his fortune told and also asked for a peace charm to carry with him. Three months later, their group of dozens of people returned to the capital safely without any casualties.
In a few days, he will be escorting goods to the south. Of course, he needs to come to the princess to have his fortune told and ask for a peace talisman so that he can set off with peace of mind.
Ye Xianya did some quick calculations and immediately frowned.
A horrifying scene unfolded before her eyes.
The bodyguard in front of them, along with dozens of his men, fell into the surging river along with the large ship and all the cargo on board.
The river was swift, and the people quickly disappeared.
Not long after, the once turbulent river surface suddenly calmed down, and a huge fish several meters long surfaced... revealing its ferocious head and opening its blood-red maw.
Ye Xianya saw human limbs in its mouth.
"Are you going to Jiangnan to escort goods by water?" Ye Xianya asked.
"Yes, yes, yes, we commoners will be traveling by water. The head镖师 (chief镖师) said that the goods being transported this time are quite heavy, and it will be less strenuous to travel by water. If we were to travel by land and use horse-drawn carriages, it would take several months to arrive. Traveling by water will save time and effort," the man said hurriedly, his expression very respectful.
He did not reveal his identity, but the princess knew that he was a bodyguard who was going south to escort goods.
The princess is really amazing!
No wonder everyone in the capital admires the princess so much.
"When you pass through Hongxian County in Hebei Province, remember to stay on the shore for a few days. That section of the waterway is not safe," Ye Xianya advised.
"Yes, thank you for your guidance, Princess. I would be grateful if you could draw a protective talisman for me." The man took out some silver and put it into the white porcelain jar.
The princess allowed them to stay in Hong County for a few days, so he had to stay in order to save his life.
The man did not ask why.
Since listening to the princess will save your life, why ask so many questions?
"In the section of the Jichuan River that flows through Hong County, there lives a man-eating fish, or more accurately, a fish demon. It is incredibly powerful, and you bodyguards are no match for it. It's best to avoid it."
The man's eyes widened upon hearing this: "Fish...fish demon..."
"Hmm." Ye Xianya nodded slightly: "If the people of the Ten Great Daoist Sects can't handle it, I will ask the Taiyi Sect to take action and kill this fish demon. You should stay on the shore for a few more days until you receive news that the fish demon is dead, and then continue south."
"Thank you, Princess! Thank you, Princess!" The man left after hearing Ye Xianya's words, expressing his gratitude profusely.
“After we return from Immortal Spirit Mountain, I will stay in the capital to watch over my mother as she gives birth. I won’t have time to kill that fish demon, so I can only ask the Grand Elder to send a few of his personal disciples to help,” Ye Xianya said to Qi Chengshuo, turning her head.
"If they're busy at the time, I can go there myself," Qi Chengshuo quickly said.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xianya nodded and invited the old lady behind her to come over and tell her fortune.
“Princess, my family has been having a lot of bad luck lately. First, my eldest and second sons were implicated in a scandal at the master’s house and lost their jobs. Then my youngest daughter was jilted by her fiancé. She couldn’t bear it and tried to hang herself last night. Luckily, her sister-in-law found her and saved her life. My two grandsons are also weak and have been sick for a long time. Please help me, Princess, to see if there are any ghosts or monsters causing this.” The old woman said anxiously.
Of the entire family, only she and her two daughters-in-law are temporarily safe; the rest of them are very unlucky.
Upon hearing this, Ye Xianya quickly calculated with her fingers and understood everything.
"Your ancestral graves in Chenghua, your hometown, have been disturbed. In addition, there was a heavy rain in Chenghua last month, which washed away one of the graves. The coffin was damaged, and the bones inside fell to the ground and were exposed to the wind and sun. This not only ruined the feng shui, but also caused resentment in the hearts of your ancestors. Therefore... your whole family has been having bad luck lately!"
The old woman's eyes widened upon hearing this.
It turns out something happened at their ancestral grave. No wonder their family has been having such bad luck lately.
"Princess...has our ancestor not been reincarnated yet?" the old woman couldn't help but ask.
She was genuinely curious about which ancestor hadn't yet been reincarnated.
Logically speaking, they were just ordinary people who hadn't committed any heinous crimes like murder or arson. Even if they met the King of Hell, they wouldn't be condemned to hell.
Just wait in line to be reincarnated.
I wonder which ancestor was so unlucky that he died many years ago and has not yet been reincarnated.
The sheer amount of resentment he harbors suggests he wasn't a good-tempered person in his lifetime.
She needed to find out the details first before instructing her two sons to return to their hometown to handle the matter.
"Your ancestor accumulated good deeds in his lifetime. After he died, when he arrived in the underworld, the ghost immortal in charge of guiding him gave him two choices: one was to be reincarnated early and enjoy a life of luxury in a wealthy family in his next life, and the other was... to become a ghost messenger in the underworld and be ranked among the immortals in the imperial palace. Your ancestor chose to stay in the underworld as a ghost messenger. With his comprehension, if he cultivates for a few hundred more years, he should be able to become a ghost immortal!"
The old woman's eyes widened after hearing Ye Xianya's words.
This is incredible!
Someone from the Wang family is about to become an immortal, even if it's just a ghost immortal in the underworld, it's still an extraordinary thing.
After all... whether human or animal, everyone has to go to the underworld after they die. She heard that the underworld's ghost messengers have a lot of power.
Since that's the case, we must make sure to satisfy this ancestor.
"Thank you for informing me, Princess. I will take my whole family back to our hometown to pay respects to our ancestors and give this ancestor a grand funeral. We will kowtow to him many times and burn incense, candles, and paper money to show our respect!" After saying this, the old woman ran out excitedly.
Someone in the Wang family has become an official!
