Chapter 1522 Famous Hall
Sima Zhenren is very lucky. Even if he is ignorant and does not understand anything about exorcising evil spirits, but today he is only facing the prince who pretends to be crazy and stupid, and many things become much easier. Just put on the air and fool you, and you can earn fame and fortune.
In the Ganqing Palace, Zhu Youzhang was waiting for news from Xiefang Palace... He was very ill and could not get out of bed to check his son's condition, so he could only let Xiao Jing pass the message.
Therefore, Xiao Jing could not leave without permission, so he could only appoint a special person to pass on the message between Xiefang Palace and Ganqing Palace.
"…What's wrong with the prince?"
Zhu Youzhang kept asking about his son's situation, and Xiao Jing told the news he received: "Your Majesty, the two uncles have entered the palace and brought a master, who is said to be Sima Zhenren, who is the leader of the Five Spirits Immortals and has strong magic power..."
"It's good to come. You must drive away the evil demons on the prince's body. There is no trouble in the palace!" Zhu Youzhang said helplessly.
Xiao Jing wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and muttered in his heart: "Where did the wild Taoist priest come from? Don't be a lie?" There are many famous audiences in the world, but I have never heard of these Five Spirits Views. If they don't work, how can I explain to His Majesty? There won't be any accidents, right?"
Xiao Jing was very nervous. After half an hour, someone finally came from the Xiefang Palace.
"Eunuch Xiao, just now... that real person... has completely suppressed the evil demons in the prince's body!" The eunuch Sili, who was responsible for passing the message, said excitedly.
Xiao Jing was extremely surprised: "Take it seriously? What's going on with the prince now?"
The eunuch replied: "The prince took the talisman water and has been resting now. The real person said that it will take several days to recuperate before he can recover completely. Moreover, others will not be allowed to approach the prince in the past few days... Fortunately, the prince has now recovered his spiritual consciousness, can speak normally, and recognizes the person in front of him..."
"Thank God, the prince is protected by the dragon power, and finally turns bad luck into good fortune! Hurry up, help our family in and present a report to Your Majesty!" Xiao Jing cried with joy.
When Xiao Jing informed Emperor Hongzhi of the news, Zhu Youzhang breathed a long sigh and said, "I never thought that I had experienced such twists and turns again!"
Xiao Jing smiled and complimented: "Your Majesty, there is a dragon energy in this palace to protect you and the prince!"
Zhu Youzhang shook his head with a wry smile: "If the dragon energy in the palace really works, why is this? It seems to be... a sign from heaven, reminding me that Taizu passed on the throne that day..."
Once Zhu Youxi was in poor health, he would consider why such a situation occurred, and then he thought that his ancestors used improper means to seize the throne, and the Jingnan Campaign caused many killings, so he felt emotional.
"What's wrong with the real person? If you can't leave without permission, let him stay in the Eastern Palace to take care of the prince... This time you must reward him... If there are other dark places in the palace, please ask the real person to take a good look... Eunuch Xiao, thank the immortal chief for me!"
Xiao Jing bowed respectfully: "Yes, Your Majesty!"

...
In the Eastern Palace, Zhu Houzhao drank some talisman water randomly and suddenly became a normal person. He could speak "father, queen", "mother, queen" and "uncle". He has returned to the bedroom to rest.
Sima Zhenren had just launched a major exorcist ceremony before, and after completion, he was exhausted. Queen Zhang, Zhang Heling and others did not see any problem. Zhang Yanling, who had found Sima Zhenren, understood something and thought to himself: "The prince was crazy before, and he bites whoever he saw, but now he suddenly got better. Could it be that Boy Xiong is pretending to be crazy? What is his purpose?"
After thinking about it, I suddenly realized: "I drank a lot of rice wine for him in the afternoon. Could it be that I was drunk and crazy?"
Zhang Yanling was worried that Sima Zhenren came out of the bedroom. Even though he knew that there was the queen and the marquis in front of him, he did not kneel down and salute, and sang the Buddha dust with serene satisfaction:
"The evil demon in the prince's body has been suppressed by me, but it will take seven days to completely kill the evil demon. During this period, the prince must be at peace and recuperate!"
Empress Zhang, supported by Zhang Heling, stepped forward and asked, "What is the name of this immortal prince, the evil demon in the prince's body?"
Sima Zhenren was slightly stunned and then shook his head: "This noble man, you must be the prince's close relative. I will not hide it too much. In this palace, there seems to be a sense of resentment, and the deep resentment is only seen by me. Fortunately, I have obtained the true teachings of the family master to subdue demons. As for the specific origin of this evil demon, I still need to be investigated!"
No one believes such nonsense if any dynasty is used. But in the Ming Dynasty, those emperors who thought they were smart and wise, and those around the emperor trusted Taoism very much. The emperors of the Ming Dynasty were all keen on alchemy and were always pursuing Taoism's skills of eternal life. Unfortunately, eight out of ten Taoists were liars, one was lunatic, and only one had real skills.
When Queen Zhang heard this, she lamented in her heart, but muttered: "No wonder, no wonder!"
Zhang Heling looked at Sima Zhenren carefully and did not have much doubts about this Taoist priest who seemed to be fairy-like. After all, this person appeared and suppressed the prince's madness. As for the principle in the middle, he was not very clear, so he could only ask casually: "Then... the prince will not leave any hidden dangers after this disaster, right?"
Sima Zhenren smiled and said, "You are too worried. Although evil demons will make people weak, after being eliminated, the yang energy of a person will accumulate rapidly. In the future, it can be said that all poisons will not invade. Fortunately, this time it was discovered in time. If it was a few hours late, I am afraid that the yang energy in the prince's body would be swallowed up by the evil demon... As the crown prince, he will hold the throne in the future. The nine-day dragon energy in his body is the most coveted by evil demons. This is also the main reason why the unjust soul is so fierce!"
Queen Zhang was stunned when she heard this. She didn't have much knowledge, but like her husband, she liked to lead things in the direction she was worried about and guess why there were so many wronged souls in the palace. Queen Zhang was not worried about Zhu Yunwen or the remnants of the previous dynasty, but about the palace servants she had killed and the potential competitors she had personally ordered to be eliminated.
Among all, only Zhang Yuan understood the whole process. Zhang Yuan was hiding in the corner of the wall at this time, trembling, and had not yet walked out of the previous horror.
Zhang Heling said: "Empress, you are too worried today. Let's go back to Kunning Palace to rest first. Leave the matter here to Sima Zhenren and the servants below!"
Queen Zhang looked at her younger brother: "Shouning Hou, things are not that simple. I can't just go back like this. The Qianqing Palace... has the message passed?"
The eunuch serving next to him reported: "When you reply to the Empress, someone has already passed it over to report it!"
"Okay, please don't worry, maybe it's just a coincidence... Well, the two marquises of our Zhang family are doing things properly and can actually find a master like Sima Zhenren. I am tired, so I will go to the side palace to rest first!" Empress Zhang was tortured by Zhu Houzhao before, and was exhausted. With the help of the palace maid, she went to the side palace.
When Zhenren Sima saw everyone leaving with the queen, he was a little confused and didn't know where to go. Zhang Yanling stepped forward and whispered: "Zheng Sima, why are you doing here? Go into the bedroom to take care of the prince. You just said that it would take seven days and seven nights, didn't you forget it in a blink of an eye?"
Sima Zhenren got along with Marquis Jianchang alone, but his aura became weaker and his face was nervous: "Mr. Marquis, you..."
"What is the name of Marquis? You are so capable. Even the evil demons on the prince's body can be cured. It seems that you cannot be missing in the harem!"
Zhang Yanling said coldly, "I don't care what your name is. In short, you will have to do something for me for a day in the palace. If you dare to have any thoughts, I will take you down!"
Sima Zhenren's body trembled and said, "Mr. Marquis, you can't do this!"
Zhang Yanling said: "What, do you want to say that you have the ability to be in heaven? Believe it or not, I will ask someone to chop your head and see if you can take it back?"
Sima Zhenren smiled bitterly: "Don't laugh at Marquis!"
"Who laughs at you? Listen, you are recommended by this marquis to the palace. Even if you are not capable of pretending, you must pretend to be decent. As long as you do your job seriously, this marquis will never treat you badly and will ensure you will be in endless wealth!" Zhang Yanling threatened, "I have said these words to you before. Don't you believe this marquis?"
Sima Zhenren nodded quickly and responded.

...
In the Xiefang Hall, Zhu Houzhao lay spread out his limbs and lay on the bed in a "big" shape. Because he pretended to be crazy and too stupid, he felt weak all over and had no strength at all.
Suddenly the palace gate opened with a creaking sound, and Zhang Yuan walked in from outside tremblingly. Zhu Houzhao sat up and asked, "How is it? Have everyone left?"
"Not yet!"
Zhang Yuan whispered, and when the man walked to the bed, he was about to salute, he was supported by Zhu Houzhao.
Zhu Houzhao said: "At this time, etiquette is gone. What kind of real person is from? He looks like a charlatan, he actually said there are evil demons in my body? I obviously drank a few more cups..."
Zhang Yuan said: "My little ancestor, no matter what, you will continue to perform this scene. This Sima Zhenren was invited back by two uncles, so you must cooperate..."
Zhu Houzhao smiled and said, "It turns out that it was invited back by two uncles. No wonder. I said that I cooperated with me in everything and said that evil deeds possessed me. In the relationship, the two uncles already knew my embarrassment and came to help me. Zhang Yuan, you did a good job today. I have recorded your contribution!"
As he was talking, another sound came from the other side of the door. Zhu Houzhao quickly lay down and Zhang Yuan stood there.
It was Sima Zhenren who came in.
Seeing that no one followed Sima Zhenren, Zhang Yuan walked over quickly and passed by instead of him, but did not leave the hall gate, but quickly closed the gate.
Zhu Houzhao sat up and asked, "Tell me, what's your background?"
Sima Zhenren was stunned. He did not expect that his conspiracy had been discovered by the prince. But with his intelligence, it is not difficult to imagine that the prince was pretending to be crazy because he did not have the ability to exorcise the demons at all. If the prince was really crazy, his previous act of playing a great god had no effect at all.
"Crown Prince...Your Highness, you, you..." Sima Zhenren had no idea what to say.
Zhu Houzhao said: "Okay, no secret words are spoken, and you will report your reputation. If I have the palace to protect you from now on, you can continue to cover it up for me... This is a good thing, do you understand?"
