Chapter 149: Extremely Strong Yin Energy
After finishing the fortune-telling, Jiang Yunxi went straight back to the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion. She had made an appointment with Zhan Beiyuan that after he was done with his work, he would come to the Duke of Yingguo's Mansion to find her, and then they would take the children to visit the retired emperor together.
When the old lady saw her come back, she hurriedly asked her about the situation in the Duke Yong's Mansion.
Jiang Yunxi told the truth about what happened over there, "Grandma, are you familiar with Old Madam Gu?"
"I'm quite familiar with her. She married into the Duke of Yong's Mansion first, and I later married into the Duke of Ying's Mansion. The two Duke's Mansions are quite close, so she and I often interact with each other." said the old lady.
"Have you heard that she has a twin sister or older sister?" Jiang Yunxi asked after taking a sip of tea.
"She doesn't have any sisters from the same mother, but she does have a half-sister." The old lady thought for a while and said.
Jiang Yunxi's expression froze slightly. Could it be that she guessed wrong?
"Did you find something wrong?" the old lady asked. However, she said that Madam Gu was resentful, which made her feel strange. Over the years, the children of the Duke of Yong's Mansion had been very filial.
Logically speaking, Madam Gu would not have any resentment.
In the past, she often boasted about her sons, grandchildren and granddaughters in front of her.
"You've been familiar with her for so many years. Have you noticed anything wrong with her? Like a sudden change?" Jiang Yunxi had a thoughtful expression on her face.
"Something is wrong. I need to recall it carefully." The old lady tapped her head and said. She had known Madam Gu for decades.
She had many memories of their time together, but now that she was old, she couldn't recall them all at once.
"Don't be in a hurry, take your time to think about it." Jiang Yunxi chuckled. The fact that Old Madam Gu swore such a poisonous oath today meant that she was indeed the mother of Duke Yong. Perhaps one day her resentment would dissipate.
She will take the initiative to tell the truth.
At this time, Butler Zhou walked in and said that Zhan Beiyuan had arrived.
When the old lady learned that they were going to the palace to see the retired emperor, she asked Jiang Yunxi to take Mo Mo and Mian Mian with her immediately. She missed the two little ones so much, and the retired emperor must have missed them too.
Zhan Beiyuan did not go into the backyard, but waited in the front yard.
"Daddy, are you done with the emperor? Did the emperor give you any trouble?" Mianmian ran up to him, hugged his legs and asked with concern.
Zhan Beiyuan felt his heart melt when he heard his daughter's soft and sweet voice. He looked at her tenderly, "He's not in trouble, don't worry."
Mian Mian blinked her big watery eyes and said, "If he gives you trouble, ask mother to draw a bad luck charm and stick it on him secretly."
Zhan Beiyuan coughed.
Jiang Yunxi frowned and said, "You are really your father's caring little cotton-padded jacket."
…
Defu Palace.
"Royal grandfather."
Mo Mo Mian Mian ran towards the retired emperor who was sitting at the desk reading. When they arrived, they deliberately did not let Eunuch Qin come in to report, but went directly to his study.
When the emperor saw the two little balls running towards him, his heart softened. He quickly put down the ancient book in his hand, stood up and hugged each of them. "Well, they've gained some weight, which means they're living well."
This way, he felt relieved.
They were gone for half a month, and it felt like a year to him.
"Your Majesty, how have you been recently?" Jiang Yunxi asked with a smile. Judging from his complexion, he naturally looked good. He was probably just a little bit irritated, but it would not affect his health.
"It's not good for me since you are all not here." The emperor said seriously.
"I see that you have a rosy complexion and you look energetic and in good spirits. You don't look unwell." Zhan Beiyuan said after looking at him. After spending some time with Jiang Yunxi, he also knew how to see.
The Emperor: “…”
If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb.
"Did your trip to Jiangzhou go smoothly this time?" he asked.
Jiang Yunxi succinctly recounted all the big and small matters, and especially emphasized the fire in Jiangzhou decades ago. At that time, the emperor was the emperor of Tenglong Kingdom.
He should be well aware of this.
"The fire in Jiangzhou shocked the world and killed too many people. Jiangzhou was almost destroyed, but there were mountains and rivers there. Tenglong Kingdom could not lose that place, so the national treasury allocated a lot of silver to rebuild it." The emperor sighed.
The national treasury was bleeding heavily at that time, but there was nothing that could be done.
"The truth behind the fire has not been revealed yet." Jiang Yunxi said lightly.
The Emperor looked at her and nodded, "We couldn't find the truth. In order not to cause panic, we could only find a truth to appease the people."
This matter was approved by him, and only then was Jiangzhou notified. It was because many people were burning fires at home without noticing that the fires started.
"We need to find out the truth about the fire." Jiang Yunxi said firmly that they should give the truth to the people who died in the fire.
"Your son has decided to investigate thoroughly." Zhan Beiyuan said forcefully, indicating that an investigation was necessary.
The Emperor frowned, "Are you sure you want to check?"
"Yes." They said in unison.
"In that case, I will give them my order, and you should investigate this matter secretly." The emperor agreed. It would be better if they could find the truth, but there was nothing they could do if they couldn't.
But if they act together, they will have more time to spend together.
This is what he would like to see.
Jiang Yunxi and Zhan Beiyuan had dinner in the palace before taking the children out of the palace.
Got on the carriage.
"Take me to a place and then take Momo Mianmian back. Someone asked me to tell his fortune this afternoon, saying that his house is haunted. I'll go and take a look." Jiang Yunxi said what he was going to do.
"Okay." Zhan Beiyuan gestured to Qi Yan to go to the address she said.
The carriage soon arrived at the Guo family.
It is not in the city center, but in the suburbs of the capital. There are many courtyards built around it. From a distance, it looks like a villa area in China.
"You go back first." Jiang Yunxi said and lifted the curtain and went down.
"Dad, go help mom, we will go back to the palace obediently." Mo Mo said as he sat up straight. Dealing with ghosts was a small matter for mom, but dad should accompany her.
"Daddy, please go quickly, otherwise it will be unsafe for mom to go home alone." Mianmian tilted her head and frowned.
Zhan Beiyuan looked at them and said, "Rest early after returning to the palace and don't run around."
The two little guys nodded obediently.
Zhan Beiyuan told Qi Yan to send them back and then stay with them, and not to come to pick him and Jiang Yunxi up.
"Sister, here, here..."
In the Guo family's yard, Jiang Jingyan was carrying a small bag containing some magical instruments and other things.
He came to Guo's house in advance to wait.
Jiang Yunxi walked towards him quickly and looked around. There was indeed a very strong yin energy. No wonder the other party said that the house was haunted.
"Miss Jiang, you are finally here. Please come in. This is... Your humble servant greets King Han." Guo Yanbin hurriedly saluted after seeing Zhan Beiyuan.
"I am here to accompany Jiang Yunxi, so don't worry about me." Zhan Beiyuan said lightly. Now that Jiang Yunxi is dealing with matters related to Xuanmen, he wants to follow and learn a little.
Jiang Yunxi looked at Guo Yanbin and asked, "Which yard is the haunted house you mentioned?"
