General Xu didn't even show up. This kind of thing was shameful enough. Even if his son's life was saved, the Xu family's reputation would be greatly damaged. It was because his mother begged him not to be beaten to death that she was very angry with General Xu.
Fortunately, the case was already in favor of his family, and General Xu was also very determined. This time he must send his youngest son to the military camp for proper discipline, otherwise he would really be crippled.
He and the Seventh Prince were waiting for news in a nearby teahouse. They thought everything was going well, but they ended up receiving the news that Young Master Xu had vomited blood and fainted.
"Was it Zhao who did this?"
Xiao Yuanchen immediately raised the conspiracy theory, but General Xu remained silent. "Go and ask the imperial physician to come and see him, and take him home. Don't let the old lady know."
Given the old lady's doting nature, there will definitely be a big fuss.
"I will go to the palace to invite you personally. Master, please go back home first. I will be there soon."
"Thank you for your hard work, Your Highness."
General Xu thanked him. Although Xiao Yuanchen relied on his own power, he was so humble and sensible, and had no airs, which still made General Xu very happy.
"As I should. Master's son is now my junior apprentice, and it's my responsibility. I'll go now."
"good."
Soon, the Imperial Physician Chen, the director of the Imperial Hospital, arrived at the Xu family. After an examination, he frowned and said, "The young master's condition is not good. His pulse is weak, like that of an elderly person. Although he doesn't appear to be dying, his body is already mostly wasted. I can only prescribe some medicine to help him recover."
"How could this be?"
Xiao Yuanchen asked, "Could it be poisoning? Could chronic toxins cause this kind of pulse?"
"Poisoned?"
Imperial Physician Chen said, "That's possible. I can only help him save his life."
How could Madam Xu keep it secret?
He was helped in. "My grandson, why did you collapse? Did those people from the Dali Temple torture you into confessing?"
Imperial Physician Chen said, "There are no external injuries. Madam, you are worrying too much. I will go and prescribe some medicine."
Old Madam Xu refused to listen and thought it was the Dali Temple's responsibility, so she went to the Dali Temple to ask for an explanation.
General Xu was overwhelmed with worry: "Mother, can't you just calm down? The imperial physician said there were no external injuries and he didn't go to jail. How can it be the responsibility of the Dali Temple?
We have people to take care of you, so why don't you just stop causing trouble?"
"How dare you be so mean to me? This is my grandson, and he's about to die. Can't I ask for an explanation? How dare you, a great general, be so incompetent?"
"That has to be reasonable!"
"They arrest people without reason, so why should I have reason?"
Xiao Yuanchen didn't want to interfere in their family affairs, so he came out somewhat embarrassedly.
The medicine was boiled and he took it. After a while, he woke up, but his whole body was shaking. "I'm cold, so cold, light the brazier quickly."
"Why is it cold?"
It's a hot day and you have to use ice, but he actually said it's cold?
But his lips were blue, and there was even a hint of white frost, and he looked like he was really cold.
Madam Xu felt distressed and said, "Go get the quilt."
Only after wrapping himself in several layers of quilts and even lighting a stove did Young Master Xu feel better.
"Why is it like this?"
The person woke up, but things were even worse.
Imperial Physician Chen had never seen such a patient before, and said, "There's nothing I can do."
Someone said, "Could it be that something dirty was hitting it?"
The words suddenly woke the dreamer, and Mrs. Xu suddenly realized: "Isn't it? Go and prepare the incense and candles, let's go to the temple to burn incense and ask the master to come and take a look."
This is related to metaphysics. Imperial Physician Chen said goodbye and left.
Soon, the matter spread. Young Master Xu had committed many evil deeds and the law could not punish him, so the victims came to seek revenge themselves. This was retribution.
The victim's family couldn't help but set off firecrackers to celebrate. God still has eyes.
Zhao Letong also sent people to keep an eye on the Xu family. She was lying in a rocking chair, basking in the sun comfortably, as comfortable as a lazy cat.
Jade and Coral served her fruits. Even gods could not enjoy such a life.
Fang Xinyue followed the servant in and said with a smile, "You really know how to enjoy yourself. The Xu family has already invited a master. Will you be able to cure it?"
Zhao Letong held the fox in his arms and said, "He's not simply being rushed, nor is he possessed by some foul thing, but rather a dark evil has entered his body. The monk's skills can't cure this. Don't worry, even the abbot of Daxiangguo Temple wouldn't be able to help."
"That's good. He can get away with it so easily. Those women who were victimized are so pitiful."
Lin Susu, [If you step forward, even if you successfully save him, the Xu family will still be suspicious of you, and it will be a thankless task.]
[So I won't show up. Saving the wicked will damage my virtue. Am I stupid?]
But she had good thoughts and forgot the reputation she had built up in the academy. The Xu family was not an ordinary family, so they soon found out about her.
It turned out that the high monk invited by Old Lady Xu came to take a look and was so frightened that his face changed drastically: "This person is full of evil energy. I'm afraid he has come into contact with ghosts. I can't do this job."
The Xu family was also surprised that such a weird thing was actually true.
"Then what should we do? Master, you can't just stand by and watch someone die!"
The monk said, "It's not that I'm being too modest. Buddhism focuses on past and present lives, merits, and chanting sutras to liberate the dead. Buddhism is good at that. However, Taoism is better at this kind of evil practice of being haunted by evil spirits.
If you can't find a good Taoist master, you can go to the Imperial Observatory for help. I can't do anything for you.
If I were to intervene, I could only send the young master to the west, help him to liberate his soul, cleanse his grievances, and help him to be reborn in a good life in the next life."
This meant he was going to die, and Old Madam Xu couldn't agree to that, so she had to send him away first.
