Chapter 183
On the other side, at the same time that Xia Keyu entered the clan's mansion, Master Zhiyun of Baotong Temple announced by the emperor also entered the palace.

When the empress heard about Xia Keyu's arrest, she hurriedly went to see the emperor, but was told that the emperor was talking with Master Zhiyun and no one else was there.

Inside the imperial study
The emperor looked at the nun in red cassock in front of him and asked: "Is the evil spirit you mentioned true or false?"

Zhiyun pretended to say Amitabha, and then said in a mysterious way: "It is said in the Buddhist scriptures that evil spirits will cause a person's temperament to change drastically, his family and home will be restless, and the country will be ruined."

When the emperor heard this, he continued to ask: "How to judge whether it is possessed by evil spirits?"

Master Zhiyun put his hands together and said:
"My Buddha is merciful, and the poor nun has practiced hard for decades. He has long since developed a pair of wise eyes. Whether it is evil or not, the poor nun can tell at a glance. No matter how much he practices Taoism for thousands of years, he will not be able to escape the fiery eyes of the poor nun."

She said so confidently that the emperor, who had always been dubious about ghosts and gods, started to believe her.

Of course, he knew very well that his purpose was just to use this matter to defeat the Queen and the Crown Prince.

Therefore, he knew that the queen was outside the palace, but he avoided seeing her.

As for the current Xia family, after Xia Fengyuan learned that Xia Keyu had offended His Majesty and was captured by the Jinyi Guards, he panicked and paced back and forth in the hall, fidgeting.

Aunt Rong was even more afraid that the world would not be in chaos, so she fanned the flames and said:

"Master, what should we do? The eldest lady has created a huge trap. If our Xia family is implicated, it is very likely that the Xia family will be raided, not to mention whether the master's official position will be preserved. Behead, or even be executed by the Nine Clans."

After Xia Fengyuan heard this, he was so scared that he touched the black gauze hat on his head. He had finally climbed to the fourth rank with great difficulty.

Of course, he completely forgot that he was able to become a fourth-rank minister of etiquette because of his daughter's credit.

A gust of wind blew by, and Xia Fengyuan felt a chill on his neck again, as if the knife that was attacking everyone had been slashed at him.

Can't wait any longer!
Xia Fengyuan made up his mind and walked quickly to the study room. He wrote hard and quickly. In a short time, he wrote an excerpt of "The Sinful Girl's Letter" and sent it to the emperor's palace.

The main content of this "Book of Sinful Girl" is to accuse her daughter Xia Keyu of doing wrong things, such as disrespecting the monarch and offending the emperor, being unfilial to her parents, and not caring for her children.

Then after briefly mentioning his lax discipline as a father, he proposed to sever ties with Xia Keyu, his daughter, and expel these people from the Xia family tree.

After "The Book of Sinful Girl" was sent away, Xia Fengyuan felt more at ease.

When it comes to Xia Keyu's entry into the clan's mansion, Xia Kelian is the happiest person.

She didn't expect that after planning for a long time, she would actually harm Xia Keyu.

"Mom, that little bitch offended Your Majesty. Now she has entered the clan's mansion, and my father has also severed ties with her. From now on, this Xia family will belong to our mother and daughter."

Xia Kelian's pride was beyond words.

Aunt Rong nodded, a vicious look flashed in her triangular eyes, and she lowered her voice and said:
"After this little bitch dies, and after a while, let someone kill that bastard Xia Demao. At that time, the Xia family will truly belong to us."

As soon as these words came out, Xia Kelian was startled.

After all, she and Xia Demao grew up together and were known as siblings. Although Xia Demao was a naughty child, he had always been protective of her before.She never thought about killing Xia Demao.

Now he asked cautiously: "I think the Fan family has been protecting De Mao, I'm afraid this will not happen."

Aunt Rong sneered and said perfunctorily: "You don't have to worry about this matter. I have my own opinion."

One of her brothers once worked as a bandit in the mountains, and she still has contacts with some of his former friends.When the time is right, Xia Demao can be kidnapped and charged.By then, the only male in the Xia family will be her son Xia Deyuan.

"You have to remember that your brother is your natal family and the one who can give you support. He is not an outsider."

Aunt Rong saw the hesitation in Xia Kelian's eyes and immediately tried to persuade her.

Xia Kelian heard the sound and nodded.Yes, no matter how good Xia Demao is, he is still a member of the Fan family.

Although her brother didn't meet her much, he was indeed a biological brother and sister from the same mother.Thinking of this, she decided to kill Xia Demao.There is no grudge anymore.

As Master Zhiyun entered the palace, everyone gradually got an idea of ​​why Xia Keyu was arrested.

Of course, Master Zhiyun himself deliberately revealed all this to the palace maids, saying that His Majesty had caught a demon possessed by evil spirits.

When the empress heard this, even though she was always dignified and graceful, she could not help but turn livid with anger.

Why was the emperor who was so wise and powerful in the past turned out to be so mediocre now?You actually believe in the theory of evil spirits.

At that moment, he went to the imperial study room again and tried to persuade him:
"Your Majesty, the saints in the past taught us to respect ghosts and gods and stay away from them. These so-called evil thoughts are absurd. How could your Majesty easily believe the villain's slander and imprison Ke Yu?"

The emperor blocked the queen's words with a cold face and said: "I will judge this matter for myself, so you must say more."

The queen was about to say something, but seeing that the emperor was already impatient, he stopped paying attention to her earnest advice and instead asked someone to send the queen away.

When the prince learned of the incident later, he came to plead for mercy, but was blocked by the emperor from outside the imperial study.

When it was getting late, Chu Yuan, who was far away from the capital, received the news from his family.

To everyone's surprise, Chu Yuan was very calm after learning about the incident. He wrote a letter in the carriage and asked someone to send it out quickly. I don't know who it was given to.

On the other hand, I started my return journey slowly.

Such an attitude left Chi Yan beside Chu Yuan a little confused.

Could it be that in the past, my father-in-law's love for Miss Xia was all an act?Otherwise, why would the father-in-law not panic at all when he learned that something happened to Miss Xia?

Chi Yan frowned along the way, thinking about Miss Li Xia's life-saving grace for the father-in-law in the past, and he became more and more angry.

Unexpectedly, the master he had followed for so many years turned out to be an ungrateful person!
Chu Yuan saw Chi Yan's angry look, but he said nothing, pretended not to know, and took the car on the way back.

He said silently in his heart: "Wait for me."

At the same time, people in Prince Liang's house also knew about this.Prince Liang, who was still observing mourning, originally lived in a thatched house next to Mrs. Liang's tomb.

He had to return to Beijing overnight to meet with the emperor and explain the matter to him.

The source of all the weirdness came from Xia Keyu's fall into the water on the day of Mrs. Liang's funeral.

To untie the bell, the person who tied the bell must be tied, and the Liang family has no shirk in this matter.
