After Princess Xuanxue came down from the mountain, the whole capital was in chaos.

Chapter 162 Falling short of success

Xiao Zhen regretted that the skills he had practiced so hard for several months were abolished. He felt that he had been arrogant these days, thinking that he would be invincible if he practiced some such skills. He should listen to Kong Qing's words and practice After reaching the ninth level and seizing the throne in one fell swoop, he didn't even know why he became so restless after thinking about it.
He used to be very calm and tolerated it for more than ten years. Why can't he bear it anymore recently?

He thought about it and didn't know what was going on.

He was so lost in thought and regretful that he didn't hear the emperor's questions to him.

He was lying on the ground being interrogated, and the people around him looked down at him. He felt that he had lost all dignity. Their eyes were filled with contempt and disdain. Where was the respect from the past?

He couldn't bear the disparity and wanted to commit suicide, but his muscles and veins were all severed and he had no strength and couldn't move.

He actually couldn't die even if he wanted to.

He didn't say a word, so the emperor had no choice but to order people to search the fifth prince's mansion and put him in a prison.

When Jiang Jiulu heard the news from Jiang Juncai, she was shocked. She didn't expect that her father and brother's so-called revenge would be like this. Are her father and brother doting on her too much?

She felt that she had been humiliated, Xiao Zhen's reputation had been ruined, and this revenge was avenged.

And Jiang Juncai was also scared. He really didn't expect Xiao Zhen to practice evil skills secretly. If the prince hadn't summoned Yuan Qi in time, he might have died in the Xuanzheng Hall.

He still underestimated the enemy and was careless.

Jiang Jiulu went to Yuan Qi relaxedly, wanting to tell Yuan Qi the news as soon as possible. When he arrived at Shaoyaoju, Yuan Qi was drawing talisman at the table, very focused, so she didn't disturb him and wandered around the house casually.

It wasn't until Yuan Qi finished drawing that he stopped and she walked over and asked, "What kind of talisman did Seventh Sister draw?"

Yuan Qi dried the cinnabar ink and answered her: "His Royal Highness the Prince asked me for some Five Thunder Talisman. The Five Thunder Talisman I used myself is too powerful. No, I specially drew some less powerful ones for him to use in critical moments. ”

Jiang Jiulu picked up one and read it. She couldn't understand the runes on it, but she was very curious: "Since it was used by His Highness the Crown Prince in times of crisis, why not give him the powerful Five Thunder Talisman? What if it is not powerful enough?" Is it useful?”

Yuan Qi glanced at her sideways: "The more powerful it is, the better. The prince's cultivation level is very low. He cannot control the powerful talisman. If he is not careful, he himself will be struck by lightning."

Jiang Jiulu exclaimed: "So that's it. By the way, His Highness the Fifth Highness failed in his rebellion and was imprisoned in the sky prison. Did you know?"

Yuan Qi did not answer her question, but was happy for her: "Yeah, now you feel proud. No one will gossip about you in the future, and you can take the opportunity to clear yourself."

Jiang Jiulu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I thought so too. I didn't expect that His Highness, the Fifth Highness, who seems to be such a nice person on weekdays, has such a vicious mind. Not only did he ruin my reputation, but he also rebelled. He is really bad and deserves to be punished." When he was imprisoned in the heavenly prison, my eldest brother said that His Highness the Fifth Prince has been demoted to a commoner and will be exiled soon. I will definitely go and see him off when the time comes."

Yuan Qi doesn't care about this. She just thinks that Xiao Zhen is not a person who is willing to give up. But now that it's like this, what else can happen in the future? If you don't give in, there's nothing you can do, right?

While the two were chatting, Feng Caiyi came with a gentle smile on her face and a good evening Thuja bracelet given by Yuan Qi. "Fifth sister, seventh sister."

Jiang Jiulu called sister-in-law politely and poured tea for Feng Caiyi herself: "Sister-in-law, have you been feeling better these past few days?"

Feng Caiyi smiled and replied: "It's much better now. Your elder brother didn't let me do anything or go out. He just let me rest. I was really bored, so I came to chat with you."

Yuan Qi was still a little reluctant to part with the Thuja bracelet.

Feng Caiyi touched the lightning-struck Thuja cypress bracelet on her wrist and said that she had already seen through Yuan Qi's thoughts. He was reluctant to part with this bracelet: "Seventh sister, my grandmother said that this bracelet is a rare treasure in the world. She asked me to give it back to you after a while, maybe you will be of some use if I keep it."

Yuan Qi didn't refuse: "Sister-in-law, don't be busy returning it to me. Just wear it for two more months. Where is my eldest brother? Why did I hear that he hasn't come back for several days?"

Feng Caiyi sighed and said: "Your eldest brother came back in a hurry that day, took a change of clothes, and said that the palace's protective array was penetrated by thunder, leaving a huge hole, but the Imperial Master was seriously injured and could not be repaired. The emperor believes that your eldest brother can resist ghosts, so he will stay in the palace for a while. "

Yuan Qi said oh, it seemed that she had made the big hole.

Well, since the emperor didn't ask her to repair it, she could just pretend not to know.

Jiang Jiulu stayed for a while and felt that Feng Caiyi seemed embarrassed to say something, so she found an excuse to leave.

Sure enough, as soon as she left, Feng Caiyi talked about Feng.

"Seventh sister, I have something to ask you for help." She said awkwardly.

Yuan Qi didn't know anything about the Feng family, so he asked curiously: "What's the matter, sister-in-law, you're welcome, just say whatever you want."

Feng Caiyi hummed: "The Feng family seems to be very prosperous. The prince is my cousin, so I have to call my grandfather grandpa. In fact, the Feng family is not as prosperous as it seems on the surface. The Feng family has problems that have been troubled for many years. , Grandma went to Master Huineng of Wuxiang Temple, but couldn't solve it. When I came back that day, my grandmother and father and mother heard that you had some ability, so they asked me to tell you, maybe Seventh Sister can figure it out. A way to solve the problems that have plagued the Feng family for many years."

Yuan Qi was very curious: "Are there any problems that old man Huineng can't solve?"

Feng Caiyi smiled knowingly and pretended that she had not heard the words "Old Man Huineng". However, since the seventh sister said so, she must have a close relationship with Master Huineng. She nodded: "Yes, Master Huineng has been to my house several times. There is no problem with my family's feng shui, but in the past five years, many children under the age of ten have died in the main and branch families of the Feng family, and whenever anyone is pregnant, it is either a miscarriage or a stillbirth. In the past five years, no younger generation of the Feng family has been born. It’s just one person, but hundreds of people died prematurely, which is really a terrible thing.”

"So many?" Yuan Qi was very surprised. There were indeed a lot of deaths.

Feng Caiyi couldn't laugh at all, and her face was full of melancholy: "Not only did the Feng family's daughter-in-law fail to give birth to children, but even the children born to the Feng family's married daughters were very weak and died soon after. Seventh sister, Do you know what's going on?"

"You'll have to take a look to find out, but from what you said, it's very tricky." Yuan Qi couldn't figure out what went wrong. Even if there were problems with Feng Shui and ancestral graves, so many children couldn't die. There must be something bigger. conspiracy.
