Gods and Ghosts

Although this banquet is not as pure as that of the great scholars' lectures, it also makes up for some of the regrets of the scholars who went to Beijing.

Although I failed to meet Cui Ru, I saw many people like Cui Xuan who were quite talented and insightful, and I gained a lot.

So, for a banquet, the guests and hosts will have fun.

Yu Chen returned to the mansion and felt exhausted. He lay on the bed and fell asleep quickly.

It was not until the sky got dark that the embers were awakened by the knock on the door.

Suddenly, Yuchen gasped violently, stroked his forehead and rubbed it, and spoke in a hoarse voice, "In."

After Lian Ying bowed her fists, she directly explained her purpose: "Miss, please come over."

Embers looked at the sky through the window, and the moon was hollow, it was already late at night, so it was not just narration.

The embers didn't bother to scratch, so they simply packed up, put on their clothes, and entered the dark room through the secret door.

"Are you resting?"

Seeing Yuchen coming, Duan Chang waved to Yuchen, "I don't need to train today, there is something you need to do."

Yu Chen didn't ask much, bowed his head: "But it is up to the grandfather's order."

A moment later, a dark shadow left Duan Mansion.

In the dark night, Yuchen was covered in his night clothes, and ran away in the empty streets and alleys at a high speed. He left the city with his eyes turned a blind eye and went straight to Linyang.

Not long after, an uninvited guest came to the Princess's Mansion.

"I'm sure I'm out of town?"

"When I go back to the princess, my subordinates are sure that they have left the city, and it seems that they are heading towards Linyang Road."

Yan Li cut the candle wick, and the fire as big as beans was divided into two, and he stood up and became more and more prosperous, while the candle fire on the scissors was extinguished a few times, leaving only a wisp of fine gray smoke.

Yan Li's pupils were reflected in candlelight, and his eyelids were slightly drooping, making people unable to see her expression clearly.

"Do you see who is out of the city?"

The visitor shook his head, "The man's whole body is covered with tightness, and I don't know who he is."

Yan Li nodded, no longer born, no one dared to disturb him, and kept his posture motionless.

After a moment, Yan Li said, "Inquire about the situation of Duan Mansion in the past two days, remember to be careful not to break in recklessly, otherwise I will not send someone to save you if I go there."

Yan Li waved his hand and said, "Go."

The wind blows the candle and the flames shake, and there is less shadow on the window.

After his subordinates left, Yan Li blew out the candles and lay on the bed without sleepiness. His eyes stared at the tent in a daze, calculating the time in his heart.

After about a cup of tea, the eldest princess's mansion became in chaos.

The whole mansion was running up and down, stepping on its feet, and the lights and candles lit up one by one.

Yan Li lifted the quilt and ran out wearing only the shirt. She hurriedly stopped a maid, "What happened?"

The maid replied: "Go back to the princess, it's because the eldest princess is not in good health, I'm so... "

Before the maid finished speaking, Yan Li ran towards the eldest princess' residence with a look of surprise, and coaxed: "Hurry up and doomed Doctor Xuan!"

———

There have been no peace in Beijing for two days, and new rumors spread again.

One is that the eldest princess was poisoned in the middle of the night, and the other is that Miss Duan was infected with a bad disease. At the beginning, it was only spread, but under the promotion of a person who was interested, it gradually evolved into a theory of gods and ghosts.

"I'm afraid there is something unclean in this Beijing."

"Don't talk nonsense. At the foot of the emperor, what can happen if the emperor's dragon energy is protected by his feet."

"Ha, don't believe it, otherwise why did the eldest princess and Miss Duan suddenly have an accident? Isn't it just..." Speaking of this, the man looked around and looked down, and waved his hand to signal the listener to the ear, and then continued: "I've hit the evil!"

"I've encountered something unclean."

"It's a traitor!"

"How could it be a traitor?"

In just three days, the rumors of the eldest princess and the embers colliding with each other became more and more intense, spreading throughout the capital.

"Reply to Your Majesty, it is hard to say whether the incident of evil is true or not. However, after I counted on my fingers, it would be true that there would be injustice in the capital that would not be complained."

"But I counted on my fingers and found that it would be true that there was a grievance in the capital that would not be told."

The emperor was already an old man with gray hair. He sought immortality, but he was unable to survive again and again. He was even thinner than the old man of the same age, with sunken cheeks and a haggard face.

The emperor's bedroom decorations did not see the luxury of royal nobles, but were decorated in a simple manner, which was quite Taoist. The only conspicuous luxurious decoration was the huge alchemy furnace in the center. The curling blue smoke slowly spread out from the incense burner, contaminating the emperor's already turbid eyebrows and eyes, which made his thin body look really look like a bit of the immortal spirit.

"Injustice?"

The emperor responded after a while. He leaned against the bed and coughed twice, and said in a weak voice: "Can the Taoist find out what kind of injustice?"

"I will try it." After a moment, the Taoist opened his eyes, shook the dust, bowed to the emperor and said, "When you go back to your Majesty, I can't calculate the specific injustice, but I can only count the injustice to the southeast. I'm so tired that I don't know who I have, but I've taken it to others."

"What's the solution?"

"Identity has been replaced."

The emperor closed his eyes and silenced. If his chest was not still undulating, it would have caused people to have the illusion that this person was dead.

"In the southeast direction, I remember that it was the village I gave to my elder sister."

Although the emperor was addicted to seeking immortals and asking questions, he was not obstructed. He had heard rumors in the capital for a long time and knew that the eldest princess was in poor health now. The imperial physician reported that it was weak and there was no major injury, but he had not woken up.

The emperor had a scheming in his mind.

"Get the medicine."

——

The emperor left the palace and set up the princess's mansion.

Yan Li and his men welcomed the emperor in front of the mansion.

"No need to be polite, what's the princess right now?"

Yan Li followed the emperor and replied respectfully after hearing this: "Go back to Your Majesty, Your Highness is now in good health, but he is still sleeping and still not awake."

The emperor's energy at this moment seemed much better than when he was in the bedroom, and he was energetic. The majesty of the superiors was unconsciously revealed, making people dare not look directly at him.

However, this superior who had been in power for many years came to the eldest princess' couch and his back hunched down.

"Sister, eldest sister?" the emperor shouted softly, but could not get a response.

"Care you here, come and help my elder sister take a look. Seeing the problem is, why can you keep sleeping?"

The Taoist priest took the order and stepped forward, but he did not go to take the pulse for the eldest princess, but instead calculated his fingers around the eldest princess' bed, with his lips twitching and lying.

After a moment, the Taoist priest put down his hand and shook the whisk, bowed to the emperor and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, the eldest princess's body is indeed not seriously injured. As for being sleepy... I dare not speak nonsense."

The emperor waved his hand, "The Taoist priest said that, I forgive you for not guilty."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." The Taoist priest stood up, pinched his beard and stroked, and said, "Does the emperor still remember the 'injustice' I mentioned before?"

Emperor: "Take it seriously?"

"I calculated that the two are related, but whether the result is accurate, whether it is believed or not, but it depends on your Majesty's choice."

"The Taoist priest has been refining elixirs for me for many years. Every time I take the elixir, I feel much more light and energetic. I naturally believe in the Taoist priest."

The emperor paused, "The elder sister is my closest person. Since the Taoist priest has calculated the key points, I will trouble the Taoist priest."

"I will never be humiliated by the Holy Order."
