Chapter 86: Exorcism

In the kitchen.

Hot smoke rose from the boiling oil pan. Song Yuyao hurriedly scooped a bucket of water into it.

“Hiss——”

A splash of oil appeared, spreading all over Song Yuyao's face and arms.

She covered her face with her hands and screamed, "Ah, my face, my face!"

Minister Song and Madam Song could no longer stay there and immediately rushed into the kitchen.

"Yao'er, Yao'er, how are you?"

"Call the doctor, go call the doctor!"

The couple was completely focused on their baby daughter and seemed to have completely forgotten about Xie Zhuoning's existence.

Looking at their hurriedly leaving figures, Xie Zhuoning curled his lips.

"I have to say, Song Yuyao is quite amazing."

I had hoped to let her delay for a while so that Xia Ju could find out what Song Yuqiu's current situation was.

She was so good that she directly attracted the attention of Minister Song and Madam Song.

As soon as they left, Xia Ju's figure returned to Xie Zhuoning's side quietly.

She whispered a few words into her young lady's ear.

"What?" Xie Zhuoning's face suddenly changed.

She looked down, anger surging in her eyes, "Wei Zhao, I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you to make way."

"No problem." Wei Zhao saw that her expression was not right and nodded immediately.

They ran straight to the backyard and encountered obstacles on the way, but Xia Ju and Wei Zhao easily resolved the problem.

From a distance, Xie Zhuoning saw the burning fire, and in the center of the fire, Song Yuqiu was tied to a cross.

Her body was covered with wounds and the fierce flames were about to devour her.

There was also a Taoist priest with a Taoist platform next to him, muttering incantations while circling around the fire.

Xie Zhuoning did not hesitate, "Help!"

Xia Ju and Wei Zhao jumped up at the same time, one ran straight to Song Yuqiu, and the other was responsible for intercepting the servants of the Song Mansion.

In just a moment, the person was rescued.

The Taoist priest was so angry when he saw this that he rushed over to them and argued, "You, you dared to destroy the ritual of exorcising ghosts. If there are any consequences, can you bear the responsibility?"

Xie Zhuoning lifted her skirt and kicked him to the ground, her eyes cold and piercing, "You evil Taoist priest, how dare you take human life so lightly under the feet of the emperor? Come, tie him up and throw him into the fire!"

"You, what are you doing? I am a distinguished guest invited by Madam Song, how dare you!" The Taoist panicked and struggled desperately.

Xie Zhuoning sneered, "What are you doing? Of course I'm here to exorcise a ghost for you!"

"No, no, no!" Dao Tu screamed and was thrown into the center of the fire with a look of horror on his face.

Xie Zhuoning didn't care how he begged for mercy. He immediately squatted down and asked worriedly, "Song Yuqiu, what happened to you?"

Slowly opening his eyes, Song Yuqiu saw Xie Zhuoning and was a little dazed, "You are..."

"I am Xie Zhuoning."

"My beauty? Why are you here? I must be burnt. Your face is different from before... No, it's so fragrant and soft... It's really you!"

Xie Zhuoning: "..."

That's good. She still feels like joking at this time.

It looks like my life can be saved.

"Hold on a little while, I'll have someone take you to see a doctor." Xie Zhuoning patted her gently.

Song Yuqiu comforted her, "Don't worry, I've treated the injuries myself, no one will die, it just looks scary."

I was just dazed by the thick smoke in the fire, so I just had some reactions.

Xie Zhuoning was a little surprised, "You know how to treat?"

Song Yuqiu muttered softly, "Isn't this a necessary skill for a time-traveling girl?"

"What?"

"You may not believe it, but I studied under the number one master in China and learned some medical skills."

There is no mention of China in the history here.

She thought others would think she was talking nonsense, but Xie Zhuoning nodded and said, "Yes, I believe it."

"No way?" Song Yuqiu's expression was exaggerated.

Is she some beautiful, innocent, naive girl who trusts people so easily?

Xie Zhuoning looked at her with a smile on his face, "Although I don't know what's going on, I think you are not the original Song Yuqiu, right?"

Song Yuqiu: “…”

Well, it turns out that she is the naive person.

How could a woman who could save herself from a predicament with just a few words at a royal banquet be such a fool?

While they were talking, the guards of the Song residence had already informed Minister Song and his wife, and the two of them hurried over here.

Seeing the chaotic scene, the two were stunned.

"Quick, hurry up and rescue the master!"

The servants hurriedly put out the fire and finally saved the man.

Although he was not burned for long, he still had many scars on his body, which looked hideous and scary.

Minister Song's brows darkened and he asked sharply, "Madam Xu, what exactly do you want to do by coming to my house?"

"Minister Song, please don't misunderstand me," Xie Zhuoning stood up calmly, "I just saw the flames rising to the sky here, and thought there was a fire here, so I hurried over to put it out. I didn't expect to see that evil Taoist tied up Miss Song and wanted to burn her to death, so I took action in a hurry."

"What's going on?" Minister Song looked at the streak of soil and then looked at Madam Song.

Mrs. Song's eyes flickered. "Song Yuqiu was possessed by an evil spirit. I just asked a master to help her exorcise the evil spirit."

Who could have expected that they would arrive while we were driving?

"Exorcise evil?" Xie Zhuoning blinked. "Burning people to death is called exorcising evil? Lord Song, I originally thought that Song Yuyao was lying when she said that you took people's lives lightly, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

This is really a handle that is right at your doorstep, you should take it.

"What's going on?" Minister Song was very angry and obviously didn't know anything about this.

Mrs. Song quickly explained, "This fire won't kill people, it will only kill evil spirits!"

The Taoist priest, who was still breathing, also started to yell, "The evil spirits have not been burned to death. You will all be punished by God, punished by God!"

"Oh?" Xie Zhuoning became interested. "I couldn't move when I slept last night. It was as if I was possessed by a ghost. Since I can't be burned to death, how about asking the monk to exorcise the evil spirit for me?"

The Taoist priest was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, "I am a Taoist priest!"

"Since the Taoist said that burning people won't kill them, then help me!" Xie Zhuoning said, raising his legs to step into the fire.

Seeing this, the earth had a fierce look in his eyes, "Okay!"

He had never suffered such an injustice in his life. His whole body felt like it was on fire and in unbearable pain. How could he not find an opportunity to take revenge?

Unexpectedly, Minister Song and Madam Song rushed over in a hurry, "No, absolutely not, this is the woman of His Royal Highness Prince Xuan!"

His hand trembled, and the earth's heart "clicked" and rushed out faster than Minister Song and his wife, "Wait, wait!"

Xie Zhuoning's feet were hanging in the flames. He turned around and looked at the anxious people, his face full of confusion, "What's wrong? Isn't it possible to burn people to death?"

What should they say?

If they say that people were burned to death, then they are taking human lives lightly.

They say that she won't be burned to death, but if she really gets into the fire and something happens to her, won't His Royal Highness Prince Xuan kill them?
