Shangguan Dan quickly denied it, "No, no, I can feel that what she said is true."
Shangguan Shu knew that he could no longer persuade Shangguan Dan, so he simply stopped talking. He had already sent people to guard the gates in and out of the palace. If there was any unusual movement, the truth would be revealed immediately. There was no need to waste time talking to Shangguan Dan.
The two went to court as usual.
In the court, Shangguan Dan was always thinking about this matter and was in a state of anxiety. It was not until Emperor Jianxi allowed him to adjourn the court that Shangguan Dan hurried out of the Golden Palace, with Shangguan Shu following him slowly.
Shangguan Dan approached Lord Zhou, the commander of the Imperial Guards. Lord Zhou glanced at Shangguan Shu, then at Shangguan Dan, and finally reported truthfully, "Lord Shangguan, General Shangguan, there's nothing unusual with the traffic coming in and out of the twenty-four gates of the Imperial Palace. Especially the four gates that General Shangguan specifically instructed us to go through, the traffic in and out regarding tribute and offerings... all matches the roster."
Shangguan Dan breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Shangguan Shu proudly.
Shangguan Shu frowned.
"I said I didn't recognize the wrong person!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Master Zhou spoke again, "Indeed..."
Shangguan Dan's heart was lifted.
Shangguan Shu: "Tell the truth."
"Indeed... a batch of piglets were lost in the imperial kitchen today. They were said to have entered the palace at dawn, but disappeared before being delivered to the pigpen. The imperial chefs thought the piglets had run into the various palaces and gotten scattered. They're worried they might have offended His Majesty and His Majesty, so they're scrambling to find them now!"
It turns out that a group of piglets were lost...
What a big deal this is...
Shangguan Dan's heart sank completely into his stomach.
Looking back on the anxiety and heartache of this night, it seems like something happened in a previous life...
Fortunately, the truth has come to light.
After Mr. Zhou left, Shangguan Dan said to Shangguan Shu, "Brother, do you have anything else to say this time?"
Shangguan Shu felt something was amiss, but with the clear evidence before him, he couldn't deny it...
Shangguan Shu was silent.
It's rare for Shangguan Dan to leave his elder brother speechless, so why not take the opportunity to say a few more words?
"Yi Ping and I have a telepathic connection, how could we recognize the wrong person?"
"Even if I admit my mistake, considering Yang Ping has taken care of me for many years and has given birth to a son for me, I will not abandon her!"
"Yang Ping and I are not like you and your sister-in-law, who appear to be close but are actually distant. Big brother, please put your suspicions aside!"
"Could it be that Big Brother is holding a grudge against Yang Ping and Yue Er, and is deliberately making things difficult for her?"
"Brother, you came to me. It was my idea. It has nothing to do with her!"
"Besides, you've already punished her, and Yue'er wasn't seriously hurt. Instead, Yangping was humiliated and has been afraid to even leave the courtyard these days!"
…
Shangguan Dan rode his horse behind Shangguan Shu and kept muttering all the way.
When he read to the end, Shangguan Shu wanted to turn around and stab him in the mouth!
The two returned to the Zhenguogong Mansion and found it quite lively. Old Huang happened to come over and saw the two brothers and said, "You two masters have returned just in time. The master is going to open the ancestral hall for worship today. The master Wugen, who was invited by the third master, has already set up the Taoist temple with his disciples. The princess and the second master have also gone there.
Shangguan Shu glared at Shangguan Dan when he heard this.
On the surface, they opened an ancestral hall for worship, but in fact, the old Duke invited a Taoist priest to suppress "Shangguan Qingyue"!
Zhao Ying didn't know the inside story and actually took the child with her.
Shangguan Dan was now very proud and said nonchalantly, "It's none of my business. Dad asked me to invite you, and I can't go against his wishes."
But in his heart, he was thinking, let Master Wugen suppress the evil spirit of Shangguan Qingyue!
Shangguan Shu was too lazy to pay attention to Shangguan Dan and walked quickly towards the ancestral hall, trying to stop the old duke.
Shangguan Dan snorted heavily behind Shangguan Shu.
There are times when you get anxious!
The slander against my wife is false, huh!
But Shangguan Dan didn't really want to go against his brother. His brother didn't allow him to touch the little girl, so he didn't intend to really touch her.
Master Wugen gave him three talismans and asked him to stick them on the door of the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, but he didn't!
Shangguan Dan walked towards the ancestral hall with a swagger. When passing by the pond, he threw the talisman in his sleeve into it.
The writing on the talisman was blurred by water.
Shangguan Dan thought to himself, if that little guy still has problems, then it’s not his fault…
At the entrance of Shangguan Family Ancestral Hall.
All the adults in the mansion are here.
Master Wugen has white hair and beard, and wears a Taoist robe, looking like an immortal.
He sat cross-legged in meditation, with eight disciples sitting around him.
Master Wugen is as famous as Master Yuanzhuang of Lingyin Temple. They are both renowned masters of their generation, but they belong to different Taoist sects.
Master Wugen comes from Pixia Temple, which is the most famous fairy mountain and mansion in the territory of Da Chu. It is usually very popular and it is difficult to get a fortune stick.
The Pixia Temple has close ties with the royal family. The abbot of the Pixia Temple, Master Wufa, is the master of the Great Chu Lingtong. It is said that he has a half-immortal body, profound Taoism, and is extremely mysterious. It is extremely difficult for others to meet him.
Master Wufa had no disciples in his life because he had not found the right person for him. But many years ago, Master Wufa had the chance to see the pregnant Princess Huaian. He saw at a glance the destiny between the child in Princess Huaian's belly and himself, so he was overjoyed and accepted the two of them as his last disciples.
As expected, the two of them were extremely auspicious since birth.
Master Wufa is indeed a man of great wisdom.
Master Wugen is the junior brother of Master Wufa. Although he is not as skilled as Master Wufa, he is also extremely powerful, especially in eliminating demons and suppressing evil spirits. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the best in Da Chu.
Under the leadership of Master Wugen, the three factions split up.
Zhao Ying, who had just recovered from her illness, was holding Shangguan Qingyue.
The little girl took the opportunity to get close to her mother, wrapping her arms tightly around Zhao Ying's neck and rubbing her little face against Zhao Ying's cheek.
