Chapter 645 That's What It Means
The two of them acted separately. Yun Qingqing flew high up on his sword, his spiritual eyes opened, and he looked down at the imperial capital.
When she went to the Duke of Ming's Mansion before, she had actually discovered more than one problem.
Around the imperial city of Haodijing, several residential courtyards were shrouded in a thick black aura, and the fortunes were being eroded at a speed visible to the naked eye. One of the mansions was even emitting a layer of blood.
Yun Qingqing recognized that she had visited that place before. It was the residence of the great scholar Xu Cizhen... The evil spirit there was not so serious before!
Yun Qingqing's expression was slightly stern, and she immediately accelerated and flew towards the Xu residence.
The inner courtyard of Xu Mansion.
A figure in white dropped from the sky and landed steadily in the yard.
There was no one in the yard, but unfortunately a few servants happened to be walking by. They did not see Yun Qingqing flying from the sky, but only saw a strange girl appearing in the yard for no reason. They were startled and immediately surrounded her.
"Stop! Who dares to trespass into the Xu residence?"
Yun Qingqing had a solemn look on his face. He opened his spiritual pupils and quickly scanned the surroundings. He immediately discovered the source of the evil spirit.
"Go find your master and tell him that the Princess Regent is here to visit."
She spoke in a deep voice as she strode towards the room in question.
When the servants heard her call herself the Regent Princess, they were shocked and stood there in a daze.
Yun Qingqing said no more. She flashed around them and walked quickly towards the Buddhist hall.
"Oh no, stop her!"
"Even if she is the Regent Princess, she still has to go through the main gate. How can she just break into the inner courtyard like this..."
"I'm afraid it's a scam!"
"No! That's a Buddhist temple, we can't let her in!"
The servants reacted and hurriedly chased after him.
But Yun Qingqing was extremely fast. She flashed to the door of the Buddhist hall and pushed it open.
Inside the Buddhist temple, Xu Suyao was standing in front of a small Buddha statue, holding a dagger in her hand.
There was no expression on her face, her eyes were dull, and she showed no reaction to the movement around her. The tip of the knife was pointed at her heart, and it was about to stab her.
When everyone from the Xu residence arrived at the entrance of the Buddhist temple, they were terrified when they saw this scene.
"Miss! What are you doing!" A maid screamed and wanted to rush forward to stop her, but it was too late.
Yun Qingqing's eyes turned cold, and she pinched her fingertips to release a golden light, which accurately knocked the dagger out of Xu Suyao's hand.
"Dang——" The dagger fell to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Xu Suyao missed the attack, paused, slowly lowered her head, and bent down to pick up the dagger.
The maid finally rushed to her side, grabbed her and shouted urgently:
"Miss, what's wrong with you? You can tell Huan'er what happened to you, but don't take it too seriously! If anything happens to you, the master and mistress will be so sad..."
Xu Suyao turned a deaf ear to her voice and stared at the knife on the ground. It was not until Yun Qingqing walked up to her and tapped her forehead lightly, and a golden light flashed. She woke up from her dream and looked around blankly:
"Hmm? Why am I... here... Princess? When did you come..."
Huan'er said in a trembling voice: "Miss, you just...just almost..."
Huan'er was so frightened that she was incoherent. The servants had to come forward and explain the thrilling scene that had just happened.
"Miss, you just looked like you were possessed by something, and you wanted to stab yourself in the heart with a knife!"
"Yes, you didn't respond when Huan'er called you, and you scared everyone!"
"Thank goodness the princess intervened in time and saved your life..."
They witnessed the thrilling scene just now. After seeing Yun Qingqing take action, they had no doubt that she was the Regent Princess. Moreover, the young lady had just called her Princess.
Xu Suyao listened to what everyone said and looked at the knife on the ground with a pale face:
"I... I don't remember how I got here. I was just taking a nap..."
While everyone was talking, Yun Qingqing had already bit her fingertip, drew a talisman with her blood, and pasted the talisman on the Buddha statue.
After doing all this, she turned to look at Xu Suyao and explained:
"This Buddha statue is unclean. It is actually a fortune-stealing evil spirit that specifically invades people's luck and can even affect people's minds. Have you entered a Buddhist temple recently?"
Xu Suyao nodded and looked at the Buddha statue with lingering fear:
"Yes... Sometimes I accompany my mother to the temple to worship Buddha..."
"That's it." Yun Qingqing nodded and said in a deep voice, "Your horoscope is yin, but you are blessed with a long life and wealth. This evil spirit has chosen you, so it has corroded your mind and tempted you to donate your blood. Once it has sucked enough of your blood, the consequences will be disastrous."
Xu Suyao's face turned pale, and she asked in a trembling voice, "Was I just... controlled by it?"
Yun Qingqing nodded: "That's right."
When Xu's father and mother heard the news and rushed over, they heard Yun Qingqing's explanation. Their faces changed. They hurried forward without bothering to exchange pleasantries. They pulled Xu Suyao over and looked her up and down. They only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that their daughter was okay.
When Yun Qingqing brought the old man back to life before, Xu's father and mother were both present, and they did not doubt Yun Qingqing's words at all.
Mother Xu said in a trembling voice: "This... I brought this Buddha statue back from a great monk. How could it be so weird... Could it be that the great monk wanted to harm our family?"
Yun Qingqing glanced at everyone in the courtyard, narrowed her eyes slightly, and asked:
"Mrs. Xu, how did you find that so-called great monk?"
"I remember it was..." Mother Xu recalled for a moment, "I happened to meet him on the street that day. The monk said that I had been having bad luck recently. He predicted several things in a row, and then I believed it without a doubt..."
Yun Qingqing interrupted her:
"Meet by chance?"
Madam Xu nodded:
"I had no intention of leaving the house that day, but I suddenly remembered that my best friend's birthday was coming up, and I suddenly decided to choose a set of jewelry as a gift, so I left the house."
Yun Qingqing said calmly:
"So, before you met the monk, were you originally going to take that road?"
Mother Xu didn't understand why she asked this. She thought about it for a moment in confusion and shook her head.
"No, I was planning to go to the Treasure Pavilion, but I heard that a new skilled craftsman had come to Ruyifang on the next street, so I went over to take a look. When I was almost at Ruyifang, I met Master Huijue."
Yun Qingqing continued to ask:
"Heard? Who told you that?"
Xu's mother was increasingly confused, but she still answered truthfully:
"It was my personal maid, Biyu, who said so."
Yun Qingqing glanced at the maid behind Xu's mother, who was looking down and had no sense of existence, and asked again:
"Then do you still remember why you suddenly remembered your best friend's birthday that day? Did someone remind you?"
Mother Xu was stunned for a moment, then she recalled and nodded immediately:
"Yes, it was Biyu who reminded me when we were chatting. This girl has always been very careful..."
She was halfway through her words when she saw Yun Qingqing's expression and suddenly stopped talking.
The maid behind him looked at Yun Qingqing in shock and spoke aggrievedly:
"What does your Majesty Princess mean by this? Could it be that I deliberately lured Madam to meet that monk and ask for the statue back?"
Mother Xu came back to her senses and hesitated:
"Princess, this seems a bit..."
Yun Qingqing spoke calmly:
"Yes, that's what I mean."
