Wishful Things

Xia Tingzhen's heart sank.

The emperor obviously knew about this matter before the lightning struck Fengtian Temple.

In this case, there are only two explanations.

Even though he couldn't figure out how to predict the lightning strike in Fengtian Temple, it was obvious that someone was planning behind it from the beginning to the end...

Or the emperor sent people to monitor his mansion.

More likely, it is a combination of both.

Thinking of this, Xia Tingzhen's eyes became colder.

At this time, a servant walked quickly into the hall.

"Master, madam."

The servant who didn't know too much inside said calmly: "Eunuch Li from the palace has brought a group of officials from the Beijing government here."

As servants of the Xia family, because they have enough confidence, they have always been much calmer than the servants of ordinary families when encountering things.

Xue's face turned pale again.

Li Ji came in person? !

Li Ji's coming means that the emperor is here in person!

"Master...that Taoist just passed by, if it wasn't for someone to stop him quickly..." It was about the second son he cared about the most, Xue Shi was almost out of ideas.

"Stop it?"

Xia Tingzhen sneered in her heart.

What can be stopped?

Since the Taoist was sent to dig, it was for Li Ji to dig.

Besides, can it be stopped?

Instead of letting Li Ji open the mouth, it's better to be more sensible and leave more leeway!

Xue's heart was almost restless, and Li Ji and his party quickly arrived in the hall when they were suffering extremely.

After Li Ji saluted Xia Tingzhen, he briefly explained his intentions, and then said with a smile: "It's just following the rules and going through the motions. The intention is to make Mr. Xia and Mr. Xia have peace of mind in the future..."

Xue Shi almost couldn't laugh.

Xia Tingzhen didn't answer these words, but said solemnly: "To tell the truth, Eunuch Li, after I returned to the mansion today, a Taoist priest came to the magistrate's mansion yesterday. Let the Taoist look at it in the Han Children's Hospital, and bluntly said The evil spirit is soaring inside, fearing that something evil will cause trouble—”

"Oh!"

Li Ji exclaimed when he heard it, and covered his mouth and said: "...There is such a thing?"

The inner eunuch who was following on the side lowered his head firmly.

The adoptive father is really good at acting, no wonder he said today that he wants to take him out to practice and study.

"not only that."

Xia Tingzhen's face became more and more solemn: "The Taoist said yesterday that if this evil spirit is not eliminated, there will be great chaos in the future... and this omen may appear in Fengtian Palace."

Now that this step has been taken, there is absolutely no reason to evade the important and trivial.

Anyway, the Taoist's words may have already reached the emperor's ears verbatim.

However, Li Ji's face turned pale with fright, and even his hoarse voice trembled: "According to this, unexpectedly... there is a Taoist who predicted in advance what happened in Fengtian Temple last night?!"

Xia Tingzhen nodded, glanced at Mrs. Xue beside her, frowned and said, "It's just that my wife didn't know the importance and didn't fully believe it, so she didn't really take this matter to heart, and it happened that I stayed in the palace last night. Since I returned home, I failed to report this matter to His Majesty in time."

"But... this, this, this..."

Li Ji seemed anxious and frightened at the moment, not knowing what to say.

"Fortunately, there is no chance of saving it now." Xia Tingzhen said: "The Taoist said that as long as the evil spirit is driven out in time, there will be no more disasters."

Li Ji's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly said: "For such a big event, Xia Shoufu should hurry up!"

"It's natural."

Xia Tingzhen said sternly: "It's okay if I don't know about this matter. Since I already know, I will do my best, and I will definitely not slack off in the slightest. I have already invited that master to go to the place where the evil spirit is hidden, and first see the evil spirit clearly." What is the source of—"

After saying that, after a slight pause, his face became more and more cold: "I have heard about the matter in the Beijing Yamen. If it is really related to my second son, I will definitely not cover it up."

Li Ji sighed slightly.

"Xia Shoufu treated Daqing and His Majesty with absolute sincerity, even this old slave saw it..."

Xia Tingzhen did not speak.

After a while, he raised his hand and made a "please" gesture, and said: "In that case, I invite Eunuch Li to accompany me to the garden to have a look."

Li Ji nodded and said "Okay", the two were in front, leading a group of people to Xia Han's residence.

Under the hint of the Taoist, several nurses of the Xia family began to prepare to do it.

But because there is a rockery on it, it is necessary to try to move it, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is not a short-term effort, so Xia Tingzhen first took Li Ji to sit in the study beside him.

In the opposite bedroom, there were occasional noises from Mrs. Lu.

At first it was crying, and then there was the sound of porcelain being smashed.

Sitting in the hall outside the bedroom, Xue's face became increasingly ugly.

It's about this time... This bitch is still making trouble!

But she was pregnant, and the wet nurse didn't dare to do anything serious!

If something really happened to Han'er, she wouldn't care whether the child in the other's womb was a boy or a girl... I'm afraid that what was in the womb was a disaster!

Thinking of this, Xue's eyes were extremely cold, and he looked at the big maid beside him with a signal look.

The big maid walked into the bedroom knowingly.

After a while, as expected, no movement could be heard from the inside.

...

In front of the Xuesheng Tea House, the boy in blue got off his horse.

Mr. Mo, the shopkeeper behind the counter, saw the person entering the hall, and hurriedly greeted him.

It can't be helped, it's a small shop, there is only one guy in the front hall, and he sent out to listen to the excitement, so he had to be entertained by the shopkeeper himself.

"Miss Xu has been here for an hour."

Mr. Mo said in a low voice.

Wu Chao was a little surprised.

Miss Xu came so early?

He didn't make an appointment with Miss Xu today.

But originally he also wanted to come here earlier, but some things were temporarily delayed.

Thinking of making people wait for so long, the boy quickened his pace.

Mr. Mo followed him upstairs, and was thrown away after a while.

Seeing the young man with his long legs stepping over the third staircase with ease, Mr. Mo looked down at his own legs and silently sighed melancholy in his heart.

Simply do not follow.

Anyway, he reckoned that the young master didn't need him to entertain him, so he better not go up there to be an eyesore.

Thinking in this way, Mr. Mo turned and went downstairs, and continued to settle accounts.

"I asked Miss Xu to wait for a long time."

Upstairs, Wu Chao took a seat opposite Xu Mingyi.

"It's just waiting for the news anyway." Xu Mingyi smiled and said: "Wait here, the news will come faster."

Wu Chao nodded and said, "From Xia's side, it will take at least another hour for news to be sent back."

If nothing happened, Xia Han would not be able to escape today.

At that time, Miss Xu should be in a good mood when the things she wants to do have results, right?

Thinking of this, the boy moved his mouth slightly.
