So, that was ten thousand years ago, not now.
Xiao Yun dared to say that if the old emperor had not been afraid of her talisman, he would not have been so kind.
The old emperor amiably half-supported the man into the imperial study and motioned him to sit on the only imperial chair.
Then he slowly said, "Is it because of some unavoidable reason that the Imperial Master has not appeared yet?"
This clearly excused her previous hiding and gave her a way out.
Xiao Shengun frowned, "It's approaching the Zhongyuan Festival, and the capital has been surrounded by a deadly aura. The Emperor's aura of authority has also been affected by this deadly aura. In order to investigate the specific cause, I'm not going to reveal myself."
This was not a lie, she did investigate the cause, and the deathly aura was real.
When the old emperor heard this and saw her frowning expression, his heart tightened.
Then he asked, "Then... has the Imperial Master found the reason?"
Of course I didn’t find it. Even if I did, I couldn’t tell anyone, otherwise it would be difficult to save face.
Xiao Yan shook his head and said slowly, "No, I've investigated the South Gate, North Gate, West Gate, and East Gate of the capital. The death aura is spreading everywhere, but I can't pinpoint a specific route. However... death seems to be even more prevalent at night in the capital."
Thinking back to when he went to bury the talisman paper at night, he would casually encounter ghosts. Although he had not seen any harmful evil ghosts yet, Xiao Xu felt that he would see one sooner or later.
She has accelerated her practice of using talisman paper these days. The talismans she draws are a little easier than before, and the power of the talismans has also been slightly enhanced.
So that you can escape safely when dealing with evil spirits.
She was not as powerful as Shen Yanjin, who could kill the evil ghost with just a wave of her hand.
The old emperor was terrified. He clenched his hands beneath his dragon robe, but remained affable. "Then...does the Imperial Master have any solution?"
You want to solve the problem without finding the cause, are you dreaming?
The one who made the agreement was not Duke Zhou but Mother Zhou?
Of course, Xiao Yu couldn't answer like that. She said calmly, "Of course, but it will take time."
Seeing that there was a solution, the old emperor felt relieved. He smiled and said, "As long as there is a solution, it's fine. As for the time... I think the Imperial Master is sure of it."
He just passed the buck.
If she didn't solve the problem quickly, the old emperor would definitely not care about the idea of being equals and would directly punish her.
After chatting politely with the old emperor for most of the day, it gradually got dark.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Xiao Xu wanted to leave.
"Imperial Master... I think it's getting late, and it's time for you to leave the palace."
The old emperor hesitated to speak, then finally said with a smile, "I have been having trouble sleeping lately. Perhaps my dragon body has been affected by the ghostly aura. I wonder if the Imperial Master has any advice..."
Xiao Yan: "..."
It turns out that Bala spent half a day just asking for the talisman!
Why didn't she find out sooner?
Xiao took out a piece of mulberry paper and handed it to the old emperor. After he took it, he said seriously, "Your Majesty, your luck is somewhat declining. Avoid people or things with strong yin energy at night."
The old emperor's hand trembled as he took the talisman and he almost dropped it. He pinched the talisman paper, suppressed his panic, and forced himself to put on a amiable expression.
"Master, be careful along the way."
Xiao nodded slightly, turned around and left without looking back.
Not long after she left.
The old emperor withdrew all the concubines from the harem for the next ten days, went to bed early and got up early, and even refused the favorite concubine's request for a meeting.
Xiao Xu knew nothing about this. She was just unhappy and said it casually, but she didn't expect the old emperor to believe it.
