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

Chapter 241: Counterattack
Jiang Zhengqing snorted lightly: "It's the national master Xuan Qing. Who else can be there besides him? I have discussed this issue with the heads of the Bai family, Feng family, and Xiangli family a long time ago. The Feng family also has spies in the palace. , The emperor felt that the four major families controlled the government, the Xiangli family controlled the financial power, and the entire Rongguo family fell into the hands of the four major families. "

"The emperor started planning to get rid of the four major families a few years ago. However, the four major families are all over the Rongguo. Not only are there people in the court, but the local forces cannot be underestimated. After a few years, the emperor has no way to start. Think of a magic trick to kill the four major families."

Jiang Zhengqing's eyes were faintly fierce: "Since the Emperor is so eager to kill everyone, it's time for us to make the next plan."

He asked Yuan Qi for some paper and talisman seals, ordered his servants to take good care of Jiang Juncai, and left.

Yuan Qi stayed behind to talk with Jiang Juncai.

Jiang Juncai narrated the situation at that time: "When I rode my horse and turned into our street, the people around me suddenly disappeared, and many people in black appeared. Thanks to the talismans you gave me on weekdays. , made me aware of the danger in advance, and Miss Wen happened to come back from outside, and when she met me, she also helped me. Thank you for my thanks to the glass sword for killing evil spirits. Seventh sister, if it weren't for you, even if I were there. No matter how great my martial arts skills are, I can't escape death."

Yuan Qi smiled slightly: "It's my brother's fate that shouldn't be cut off."

Jiang Juncai chuckled. These days, he also believes in these mythical things: "You are right, my life should not be cut off."

At this moment, Xiangli Mingzhu hurried over. Today she went back to her parents' home. After talking to her brother for a while, she came back late. As soon as she came back, the servant told her that something happened here, so she hurried back. Come.

When she saw the bandages on Jiang Juncai's body, she suddenly became worried.

Yuan Qi turned around and left quietly, letting mother and son talk properly.

Back at Shaoyaoju, Wen Zhuyun was wiping the resurrecting whip. Yuan Qi didn't need it, so he gave it to Wen Zhuyun. Unexpectedly, it helped Jiang Juncai a lot today.

"Brother asked me to thank you on his behalf."

Wen Zhuyun raised his head: "You're welcome, I live in your house, and you have taught me so many things. Although we are not called masters and disciples, you have already regarded me as your disciple. When the master's brother is in trouble, I will not stand by and watch. reason."

She raised the Resurrection Whip in her hand: "This thing is quite useful. As long as it touches those puppets, the puppets will dissipate immediately. It is indeed something you made, it is easy to use."

"I grabbed some medicine for Mr. Tushan, and Luzhu took it to boil. Tu Shanang also took it badly. He hasn't been in Yaoguang Pavilion these days, so it was Xiao Hu who gave him the medicine."

Fox, who was sleeping on the imperial concubine's bed inside, heard this and ran out, looking at Wen Zhuyun with concern: "How is he recovering?"

"It's okay. I just need to rest for a few more days before I can go to Yaoguang Pavilion to do my job." Wen Zhuyun replied with a smile on his face.

Yuan Qi touched the fox's head: "Don't worry, I took the time to see him. He has been running Yaoguang Pavilion for many years and knows best what medicine to give himself. He recovers faster than you."

The fox felt relieved now, turned around and went back to sleep on the imperial concubine's couch.

When Lv Zhu came back from brewing medicine, Sequoia also came back from outside carrying a food box.

Sequoia complained to Yuan Qi: "I heard that the fifth lady locked herself in the room as soon as she came back and kept crying. I heard that she is crying now. Li Gui concubine knocked on the door for a long time, but she didn't open it. The second young master followed The third young master has gone. Everyone said that the fifth young lady was stimulated. Miss, why are you going out with the fifth young lady today? "

Yuan Qi said quietly: "The man I love is getting married. If the bride is not her, no one will be sad if I leave him alone."

Sequoia also sighed: "So that's it. No wonder the fifth lady cried like that. If I were a slave, I would have to cry too." Jiang Jiulu locked herself in the room and cried all the time, refusing to eat or drink. Li Gui's concubine She and her two sons took turns at the door to persuade her to open up.

No matter how they tried to persuade her, Jiang Jiulu just couldn't think about it.

The three of them were afraid that she would be distracted and commit suicide. Jiang Junjing was stunned and asked the servant to kick open the door. The three of them took turns guarding her, never leaving.

After several days like this, the news came that Bai Fujun was getting married next month. The Jiang Mansion received the post, and Li Gui's concubine was stunned and did not dare to tell Jiang Jiulu.

Concubine Li Gui also found Yuan Qi several times and asked Yuan Qi to persuade Jiang Jiulu.

Yuan Qi said that she would be fine if she cried for a few days. There was nothing Li Guiyu could do. However, Jiang Jiulu did stop crying after a few days, but she talked a lot less and didn't like to come to Yuan Qi's place. I dropped by and spent the whole day in a daze in my room.

A few days later, Lord Guangcheng and Yuan An came again and stayed in the guest house of Jiang Mansion.

In the blink of an eye, autumn arrived, Bai Fujun had already married Li Jiaojiao, Jiang Trulu was also engaged, and her fiancée was Song Qingming, the grandson of Mr. Song Ge.

On the ninth day of September, the Double Ninth Festival, the emperor announced his abdication, allowing Crown Prince Xiao Yi to inherit the throne. The new emperor ascended the throne and conferred the title of Supreme Emperor on his father.

As soon as the new emperor ascended the throne, he carried out drastic reforms. First, he abolished the position of Imperial Advisor and reactivated the Qintian Prison thirty years ago.

Xuanqing could only leave the palace and return to Wuji Palace.

Wuji Palace is no longer a royal Taoist temple. Coupled with the evil incident in Wuji Palace, the popularity of Wuji Palace plummeted.

Yuan Qi set up a stall to tell fortunes under the old locust tree on Tianshui Street, and realized that the fragrance of Wuji Palace was not as good as before.

On this day, Xiangli Youming made a special trip to find Yuan Qi and invited her to visit Xiangli Mansion to see how he was doing with his whip.

Yuan Qi just finished calculating the three hexagrams and went happily.

When they arrived at Xiangli Mansion, Yuan Qi asked out of curiosity: "Why is your second uncle always living in Xiangli Mansion and refusing to move out? Isn't the general rule that after the father dies, the son's family will be separated?"

Xiangli Youming sighed softly: "That's the truth, but the second uncle said that before his death, my grandfather asked the two brothers to unite and carry forward the Xiangli family. I think he covets the position of the head of the family and wants to occupy this mansion."

He pointed in the direction of Xianglilin's residence: "Look, is the ghost spirit over there getting stronger and stronger?"

Yuan Qi took a quick look and found that it was indeed true: "The ghost spirit in your house is so strong that it can easily attract evil spirits. Is your house still safe these days?"

She looked around worriedly and found that the entire Xiangli Mansion was enveloped in a layer of ghostly aura, and it was quite strong.

Xiangli Youming said worriedly: "Some strange things always happen, so my father and brother asked me to invite you over. We have already discussed it. My second uncle practices evil skills, which is very harmful to the family. My father has already told the clan elders We have discussed getting rid of the second uncle as soon as possible, but they are not completely sure and want to ask you to help secretly. "

Yuan Qi hummed: "Don't worry, Xianglilin will be punished by God if he practices evil techniques."
