Chapter 150
See what they fight with.
"In the past, on this day every year, the Imperial Observatory put in a lot of effort, even losing one or two lives to protect the capital from being invaded by evil spirits. This year, I want to see what they can do to resist."
Since ancient times, the founding of a nation and the seizure of power have all been achieved by stepping on layers of human heads and blood. On the surface, each country seems to be in a peaceful and prosperous time, and the people are living in harmony.
But what about those who died?
Some died unjustly, some died in vain, some were murdered, some died for nothing...all kinds of ways of dying, the resentment accumulated day by day and eventually rolled into a big ball that was about to explode.
These years.
The Imperial Observatory and the royal temples have been working hard to maintain a balance.
But it's God's will.
When man fights against nature, he will eventually have to pay a price.
Under countermeasure.
The final result was that one day every year evil spirits would rush to all directions, and the Imperial Observatory would make a lot of arrangements in advance. The most serious incident was when five lives were lost in one night.
A Yu!
The disciple with scars on his face and disabled legs was injured when he was resisting evil spirits.
Until now.
The scar on his face hurts badly once a year.
"Shu Yun, has the medicine been delivered to Senior Brother A Yu?"
Although Ayu is much older than her, she still regards Ayu as her senior brother.
"It has been delivered. I applied the medicine to him myself, but judging from Master Ayu's expression, he doesn't seem to believe that the medicine will be effective."
Jiang Zhaoying said softly with a trace of pity and helplessness in her eyes.
"I don't know if the medicine is effective or not. I can only use it every day and wait until the ninth day to find out."
The medicine contains her blood and she has dragon energy. Once it is applied, the resentment hidden in Ayu's body will be unbearable. She doesn't believe that the resentment can last until the ninth day of the first lunar month and will leave on its own sooner or later.
A Yu was willing to use it because he could see it. He knew that Jiang Zhaoying had dragon energy!
So he probably won't just sit there and wait for death, but will try to find a way to get rid of the resentment in his body.
actually.
If it had not been for the accident that happened that year and A Yu's retreat behind the scenes, he would definitely have been the most outstanding disciple in the Imperial Observatory.
"I don't know what the situation is like in the palace."
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince entered the palace because of their affairs, and the Jiang Mansion is now surrounded and cannot go out, which is really worrying.
"Shu Yu, go make the medical kit. No one else will care, but we have to prepare in advance."
"yes."
Shu Yu responded and stepped forward, and Jiang Zhaoying handed the box in front of her to Shu Yu.
This is the talisman she prepared in advance when she has nothing to do. It should be put into the medicine bag together, so as to block evil spirits and disease and ensure people's safety.
"Fortunately, we usually have the habit of drying and storing medicines. Even if we can't go out now, we have enough supplies."
Jiang Jianzheng listened and nodded.
People always have to take precautions before things happen, so the Jiang Mansion doesn't look very big, but it has everything inside. Jiang Zhaoying's mother said that danger and plague may suddenly come at any time.
so.
They need to stock up at least one month's worth of food and drink.
After so many years.
They gradually got used to it, and now they have enough things stored to last them for half a year.
"Miss, this is a letter from the Yang family and the Prince's Mansion."
Feicui took the note off the pigeon and quickly handed it to Jiang Zhaoying.
Expand and take a closer look.
Right now the rumors are getting more and more intense, and have almost become a hot topic among ordinary people after dinner. They used to think that the Jiang family was so powerful, but now they think that the Jiang family is so hateful, so the hatred they feel is even more intense than that of others.
Jiang Zhaoying frowned, stood up and paced back and forth, then wrote a reply letter and went out.
soon.
The Yang family received Jiang Zhaoying's letter.
Following her instructions, Madam Yang immediately sent people out to the Prince's Mansion to look for Chen Liuguang, the Cui Mansion to look for Cui Wanwan, the Minister Luo's Mansion to look for Madam Luo and Luo Zhiheng, the Duke Chen Zhongyong's Mansion to look for Chen Yumian, the General Li's Mansion to look for Li Changru, and the Zuo Shilang's Mansion to look for Zuo Yinong.
In less than an hour, the picture book drawn by Cui Wanwan flowed into various mansions, and then Luo Zhinian drew it vividly, and then printed it in the study of Chen Zhongyong's mansion...
The whole process took less than three hours.
The picture books soon appeared in the possession of major storytellers and in the hands of opera troupes.
The teahouse was bustling because someone was treating guests to tea. Anyone who came into the store to listen to stories did not have to pay, and neither did the opera troupe. Anyone who wanted to listen to a new opera would be served melon seeds and peanuts.
The whole capital was in an uproar, but as they listened, everyone's expressions gradually changed from mockery to shock.
Aren’t what they are singing and saying what happened in the hunting ground?
so.
The eldest young master of the Jiang family died in vain.
All of this was caused by the unruly and headstrong Fourth Miss Liu from Prime Minister Liu's Mansion, and by Liu Yanchen, the second young master of the Liu family who was famous in the capital, who did things to protect his sister.
and.
In order to seek justice, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince went into the palace alone to beg the Emperor for help, but he has been inside for a long time and has not come out yet.
Right now, the life or death of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is uncertain, and no one knows whether he will be killed by Prime Minister Liu.
Everyone has always remembered what happened in Qingshan Town. In the eyes of the common people, the prince is an excellent prince and an excellent monarch in the future.
then.
Under the deliberate guidance of the Cui Mansion and accompanied by the secret guards of the Prince's Mansion, many common people consciously rushed to the palace gate. They wanted to wait for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come out and to see the lively and energetic His Royal Highness the Crown Prince come out with their own eyes.
Even though Jiang Zhaoying summoned all the ghosts in the hunting ground and they told the truth, they were still suppressed by power.
For a while.
The ghosts of the hunting grounds became the hottest topic.
in particular.
After the news of the lady who met her aunt and the old lady who finally met her dead son spread.
The effect was a surprising reversal!
Jiang Zhaoying stood in front of the window.
Listening to Sinan talking about one thing after another, a hint of satisfaction finally appeared in his eyes.
But when he heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not left the palace yet, his face darkened again.
There's no point in waiting any longer.
"Go and invite Commander Yu in. I have something to say to him."
Commander Yu came very quickly. After all, with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince there to support him, there was no need for him to offend Jiang Zhaoying. Moreover, he had already seen the change in momentum. The shock in his heart made him very curious, so he came in quickly.
"Miss Jiang, you're looking for me?"
Commander Yu started asking as soon as he entered the room. Jiang Zhaoying pointed to the seat next to her. Commander Yu walked forward and sat down. Shu Yun served him the best hot tea.
"I'm going out."
Jiang Zhaoying went straight to the point, shocking Commander Yu so much that he stood up.
"That's impossible."
The emperor's ban has not been lifted yet, and people are not allowed to leave the Jiang Mansion.
and.
This time, Prime Minister Liu's methods were fierce and urgent, as if he wanted to rub the Jiang family to the ground and force them to the point of suffocation.
It seems that Prime Minister Liu... seems to be waiting for the Jiang family to beg for mercy!
"What if I could make your sister normal again?"
Commander Yu has a younger sister who suddenly became mentally ill when she was twelve years old. She is still mentally ill now, at the age of fifteen, and her condition is getting worse.
The Yu family invited many doctors, but none of them could help.
Commander Yu was startled and stared at Jiang Zhaoying. The fact that his sister was mentally ill had always been kept secret and almost no one outside knew about it.
"How do you know?"
After asking Commander Yu, he felt that he had done something unnecessary. The Jiang family was well-connected to heaven and earth and to ghosts and gods. It was not difficult for them to know some things. If asking people did not work, it would be the same to capture a soul and ask.
but.
He knew that there were carrier pigeons coming in and out of the Jiang Mansion, but he deliberately ignored them as a favor to the Jiang Mansion. This way it would be easier and more convenient to ask them for anything.
"Is there really a way?"
Commander Yu changed the way he asked the question.
"Take me there and you'll know."
Commander Yu suddenly smiled bitterly.
Taking her to see it means taking her out of the house, right?
She can do whatever she wants outside the house!
But.
This might be the only chance for his sister to recover, and he didn't want to miss it. He gritted his teeth and bowed to Commander Yu.
"I'll find a way."
soon.
A small-sized guard uniform was brought in, and when Commander Yu went out again, he was followed by a guard.
He instructed his brothers to keep a close watch while he went back to buy some cakes and left.
The moment they stepped into Yu Mansion, Commander Yu and Jiang Zhaoying secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
You know.
The people from Prime Minister Liu's residence were keeping an eye on them.
"The people outside have left."
Commander Yu and Jiang Zhaoying talked in low voices, and only after they were sure that they were really returning to the Yu Mansion did they relax their guard.
Return late at night.
Although the Yu family was not surprised at all, Mrs. Yu was shocked when she saw Jiang Zhaoying dressed as a woman. After she explained her purpose, Mrs. Yu realized that the beautiful lady in front of her was Jiang Zhaoying, who was known as the goddess. Without hesitation, she pulled Jiang Zhaoying into Miss Yu's boudoir.
A soft sobbing sound was heard from the bed. The wet nurse was sitting on the bed, holding Miss Yu tightly in her arms and coaxing her gently. The fatigue in her eyes was obvious.
"Madam, Master."
The wet nurse called softly, and Mrs. Yu turned and asked Jiang Zhaoying.
"Ms. Jiang, can it really be cured? Her illness came on strangely. We tried everything, but the child is like this every night, and it has not improved, and it is getting worse and worse."
"Let me see."
Jiang Zhaoying walked to the bedside and sat next to Miss Yu. Looking at her still young but extremely painful appearance, she sighed softly, then gently stroked her head.
"Don't be afraid, I'm here to help you."
Shocking.
Madam Yu and Commander Yu saw that Miss Yu, who had been crying non-stop, closed her eyes, found Jiang Zhaoying's position, and nestled into her arms. Her sobbing gradually became less and less, and she seemed to be a lot more relaxed.
Jiang Zhaoying asked for her birth date and eight characters, frowned slightly while calculating, and then put a talisman in her arms.
"One soul is missing."
"Commander Yu, do you remember what happened?"
Commander Yu frowned, and the wet nurse hurriedly knelt in front of Jiang Zhaoying and said.
"I remember that it was the Mid-Autumn Festival three years ago. Originally, everyone in the mansion was together admiring the moon and eating mooncakes. Everyone was very happy. Later, the young lady wanted to go to the bathroom, so I accompanied her. I remember..."
The nurse kept recalling the past.
"Soon after, there was a bang from inside. I thought the young lady might have fallen, so I wanted to go in. But the young lady said it was nothing, just something had fallen over, and asked me to wait outside. The young lady took a long time to go to the bathroom, so I waited outside for a long time, but I was worried, so I finally lifted the curtain and went in."
"But……"
The wet nurse's face turned pale. She...she had never told anyone about this matter, not even Madam Yu and Commander Yu knew about it.
She didn't dare to tell it, and couldn't tell it. If she did, her innocence would be lost.
"But what? You old fellow, are you hiding something from us?"
Madam Yu jumped up anxiously and pointed at the wet nurse with a stern look. The wet nurse's face was covered with tears and she kowtowed.
"I am guilty. I should go in with you, young lady."
Fear overflowed from her eyes and more and more tears flowed down her face. Finally, she closed her painful eyes and told the story.
"I felt something was wrong, so I went straight into the guest room without asking the young lady. But...but the moment I entered, I saw a man flash by, and the young lady...fell to the ground in disarray, and fell into a coma."
Madam Yu and Commander Yu felt as if they had been struck by a bolt from the blue, and their whole bodies exploded.
They had never known what happened that day, and had never heard of it.
The mansion is grand.
How could this happen?
"At that time, the young lady's body was covered with bruises and her clothes were almost torn off. I was terrified, but I didn't dare to tell her. If I told her, how would she live in the future? The next day, she was terrified and fell ill. Later, she became less and less conscious. I kept the matter a secret."
"you……"
Madam Yu raised her hand to hit the wet nurse, but Commander Yu stopped her and asked her with a cold face.
"Does the young lady still have her innocence?"
The nurse nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, that person didn't succeed, but..."
But that man must have been more frivolous than the young lady, otherwise how could her clothes be torn?
at this point.
Madam Yu and Commander Yu also knew about it.
"Do you know who that person is?"
The nurse shook her head.
"I only saw a back figure wearing green clothes. In the past few years, I have been paying attention to everyone in the mansion and relatives, but I haven't found anyone similar. Master, I know that I have sinned deeply and harmed the young lady. After the young lady recovers, I am willing to die to atone for my sin."
"What are you talking about?" Commander Yu helped her up. "Yuanyuan has never liked to be waited on when she goes to the bathroom. We all know this. You were able to sense something was wrong and rush in, preventing that person from succeeding. You have already saved her once. Without you, she might get sick again."
The wet nurse cried out in pain after hearing this. This matter had been buried in her heart for a long time, causing more than half of the hair on her head to turn white.
But she really can't tell it!
"Ms. Jiang."
The wet nurse looked at Jiang Zhaoying.
"My young lady was frightened and fell ill, and she has forgotten about that incident. I beg Miss Jiang to have mercy on her and help my young lady."
"good."
There was no time to lose and Jiang Zhaoying didn't bother to talk to them any more.
Then the troops split into two groups.
Commander Yu investigated who the stranger was who stayed in the mansion that night. Jiang Zhaoying went to the guest room and brought back Miss Yu's lost soul.
Things were done quickly and well. Commander Yu soon found out that it was his cousin who entered the house that night. However, since that time, his cousin had not been to their house for three years.
Jiang Zhaoying was also relieved that Miss Yu's soul was at peace, and then had the toilet replaced.
Immediately following.
Jiang Zhaoying talked to Commander Yu again.
"I will have someone send some medicine packages over later. Each person in the mansion should receive one. Don't leave them alone."
Mrs. Yu was puzzled, and Commander Yu immediately broke out in a cold sweat and looked at Jiang Zhaoying in surprise.
He knows what's going on.
But.
But.
Judging from Jiang Zhaoying's attitude, does it mean that she is not planning to report the matter?
