Chu Chu in Gu Yinwei's arms was dying, and seven Taoists holding magical instruments in front of the altar glared at Gu Yinwei.
The leading Taoist raised his voice and said, "Donor, please leave immediately and do not hinder me from exorcising the demon."
"Monster? Who are you calling a monster?"
"The palace maid Chuchu is the medicine. She raised the medicine and caused His Majesty to become seriously ill. She should be executed."
Gu Yinwei was so angry that she almost laughed, "Get out of the way, or you will die."
This group of Taoists learned some mediocre kung fu from somewhere and came to the palace to cheat. They deliberately harmed her maids while she was away from the palace.
If they can enter the palace and act so arrogantly, there must be someone protecting them. I think this person is either King Xiaoyao or Princess Zhou.
Gu Yinwei threw out three thunder talismans, striking the Taoists to the ground. Princess Zhou, who had been hiding and watching the excitement, could no longer sit still. She ran out and accused them, "The Queen Mother is protecting this evil person. Is she going to make an enemy of the entire harem?"
"First, Chuchu is not a demon. Second, Princess Zhou cannot represent the harem alone."
"Where is the emperor? I want to see him."
Princess Zhou hesitated, picked up her skirt and threw it away, and before leaving, she said harshly: "The emperor does not want to see you."
Princess Zhou ran very fast, like a mouse seeing a cat.
Bian Tao also arrived at the altar at this time. She took Chu Chu from Gu Yinwei, helped Chu Chu into the sedan chair, and the group returned to the Cining Palace.
"Someone, take away the runes and prayer flags on the wall."
Several old servants in the Cining Palace immediately got busy, some sweeping the floor and some moving tables.
The incense burner in the main hall, which made people's noses sore due to the fumes, was also moved out. After a quick sweep, the whole room became much brighter.
Most of the medicinal fields in the Cining Palace were destroyed, the Polygonatum odoratum disappeared, and the two ginseng dolls also disappeared.
Gu Yingxia forced herself to sit up from the bed, murmuring, "Third sister, you're finally back."
Gu Yinwei hugged her, patted her back gently, and comforted her: "It's okay, I'm back, I will protect you."
"After you left the palace, Princess Zhou brought a group of strange Taoist priests with her. Not only did they wreak havoc on the medicinal fields, they also cast a puppet spell on the emperor. If Chuchu hadn't given Concubine Zhen and me a protective pouch, I'm afraid I would have been beheaded long ago."
While the two were talking, Concubine Zhen had already stood up. Xiaoyu held her hand, and Concubine Zhen slowly sat down next to the bed.
Her cheeks were sunken, her lips were chapped, and the corners of her eyes were covered with fine lines. When Gu Yinwei left the palace, her face was round and plump, like a ripe peach on a branch in summer, but now her skin was wrinkled like orange peel.
A hideous wound was revealed on the back of Xiaoyu's hand. The wound had already scabbed over. Although she tried her best to cover it with her sleeve, the wound was still shocking.
"Xiaoyu, I'll prepare a bottle of scar cream for you in a few days."
"Thank you, Queen Mother."
"Why did Princess Zhou bring these crazy Taoists into the palace?" Gu Yinwei asked.
"I remember that day seemed to be the beginning of autumn." Concubine Zhen fell into deep thought.
"At the time, Concubine Xi was suffering from morning sickness, and the palace doctors were helpless. Princess Zhou invited a purple-robed Taoist priest from outside the palace. The Taoist priest performed a ritual, and Concubine Xi's symptoms were greatly alleviated."
"Not long afterward, the Emperor suffered another headache. Princess Zhou stopped the Imperial Physician from consulting him, and as a result, Taoist Priest Zishan was able to enter and leave the harem freely."
"Empress Mei was so angry that she asked the purple-robed Taoist priest to come home and beat him up a few times. Every time she was about to subdue the Taoist priest, the emperor would suddenly appear and block the sword."
"Over time, Concubine Mei became disheartened and stayed indoors."
After listening to this, Gu Yinwei stood up silently, turned the vase on the antique shelf, and opened a secret room where a stack of runes were placed.
"You guys have a good rest, I'll be back soon."
Gu Yinwei stepped over the threshold and walked out aggressively. Bian Tao knew that Gu Yinwei didn't want him to follow her, so she took the initiative to hand her an umbrella.
The sky was gray, with a few flashes of lightning among the layers of dark clouds. The thunder was rumbling from far away, making people terrified.
The area around the Cining Palace was empty, with many leaves spinning in circles on the ground. Raindrops fell on the umbrellas with a dripping sound, and then the rain gradually became heavier, making a loud noise.
The Taoist priest hired by Princess Zhou lived in the Zihui Hall, not far from the Qianqing Palace. At this moment, the door of the hall was tightly closed. There were two big geese under the eaves, shaking their wings and shaking their heads, trying to shake off the raindrops on their heads.
Gu Yinwei walked all the way in, sticking a few runes on the door from time to time. A Taoist priest who came out to sober up saw Gu Yinwei and hurriedly ran in to report.
"Master, someone is coming outside."
Just as he finished speaking, a loud thunderclap suddenly fell from the sky. The hairs of all the Taoists in the hall stood on end and they all became nervous.
The weather was bad and the other party came alone, most likely looking for trouble.
The Taoists were busy looking for their own magic weapons. Gu Yinwei had already left the Zihui Hall, and the thunder in the sky was getting louder and louder.
White lights kept flashing in the Purple Emblem Palace, and the lightning in the sky seemed to have found its target, constantly striking around the Purple Emblem Palace.
Two big geese staggered out from the small hole in the doorway, and cries and shouts continued to be heard from the hall. The Taoists could not withstand the lightning strike and took out their magic weapons to fight against it.
However, the force they resisted was too weak, and after a stick of incense, everyone turned into charcoal.
The eternal lamps that Princess Zhou worshipped at home suddenly went out. She bit her handkerchief and shivered with fear.
How could the eternal lamps all go out at once? Could it be that all the Taoist priests are dead?
Princess Zhou was feeling uneasy. Thunder kept exploding on the roof. She covered her chest and let out a long breath.
The raindrops under the eaves were like beads that had broken off the string. Princess Zhou kicked off her shoes and hid in the quilt, muttering to herself. She was chanting a meditation mantra, but her heart could not calm down at all.
Concubine Tang, who lived next to Princess Zhou, also covered her ears and stayed indoors. She did not participate in any of the bad things Princess Zhou did.
God, you have to open your eyes and strike accurately when you strike, and don’t hurt innocent people.
The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and a thick layer of water accumulated on the ground.
Sisters Zhou Yudie and Zhou Mengdie left school early because of the rain, and as soon as they returned home they rushed to pay their respects to Princess Zhou.
Princess Zhou hid in her bed and refused to come out. She asked for greetings, but what kind of greetings were they? She hadn't felt at peace at all recently.
The two daughters stood at the door of Princess Zhou for a while, but Princess Zhou closed the door and refused to see them, so they had to leave.
The rain continued to fall all night long.
Princess Zhou tossed and turned in bed, so the maids brought in some calming incense.
"Light more incense, this princess can't sleep."
"Yes, Princess." The maid lit the incense, tucked in the corners of the coconut quilt for Princess Zhou, and then went out to make her own bed.
Princess Zhou was afraid to be alone, so her maid made a bed on the floor in front of her bed. After a while, the maid closed her eyes and breathed evenly.
Princess Zhou's eyes were wide open, full of fear.
Now that the Taoist priests are dead, it should be her turn. The more Princess Zhou thought about it, the more scared she became, and the more scared she became, the more she couldn't sleep.
Princess Zhou had done something wrong and was worried about being retaliated against.
She needs maids to watch over her at all times, and only when the maids surround her can she feel safe.
