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

Chapter 25 Evil ways
  Jiang Bailu's Plum Blossom Pavilion was burned down, and she temporarily lived in Jiang Truffle's Orchid Pavilion.

In five days, it will be her hair extension day. In the past few days, she has been busy learning the procedures and rules of hair extension ceremony, and she has been very busy.

Because she was the appointed crown princess, the palace also attached great importance to this matter, and specially sent officials from the Ministry of Rites and nuns from the palace to teach Jiang Bailu the procedures and rules.

She studied all day, not to mention being lazy, she didn't even have the time to sit down and take a sip of tea.

After sunset, the officials of the Ministry of Etiquette and the teaching mothers in the palace ended their teaching.

Jiang Bailu dragged her tired body back to Orchid Pavilion, and asked someone to change out of her heavy dress as soon as she entered the room.

"Where are the green bamboos and redwoods? Call them over." Jiang Bailu was still worried about Yuan Qi's affairs. She always felt that Yuan Qi was behind the magpie pooping incident.

Green Bamboo and Sequoia used to serve in their mother's courtyard, but when they came to Shaoyaoju they kept an eye on Yuan Qi. She couldn't wait to know what Yuan Qi had been doing these past two days.

It didn't take long for Luzhu and Sequoia to come. Luzhu's face was much better after using the medicine. The redness and swelling were basically no longer visible, and her mood was much better.

Jiang Bailu was so tired that she didn't even want to say anything, so she asked the maid to massage her muscles and bones to relieve fatigue. The maid also brought tea with just the right temperature and handed it to her hand.

Seeing that she was so tired and anxious, Jiang Trulu simply asked for her.

"What did Yuan Qi do?"

Sequoia wanted to say something, but she opened her mouth several times, but nothing came out. The words came to her lips, but she just couldn't say them out.

Luzhu on the side said: "Yesterday and today, Miss Seven was going out early in the morning. The servant stopped her and said that Grandma Wang was coming to teach her the rules. She didn't listen to the servant. She also said that Xiaojiu from Xiangli's family was looking for her at the door. .Then Miss Seven left."

Jiang Trulu's eyes flashed fiercely: "Didn't you report this early in the morning? What did she do yesterday? What did she do last night?"

Luzhu was also there last night and told what Yuan Qi had done at that time: "After dinner, Miss Seven used cinnabar to draw talismans. When the Plum Blossom Pavilion was flooded, Miss Seven did not wake up."

"It's all useless." Jiang Truffle was very angry, and turned to ask Sequoia, "What about you? You served Luzhu when she was away. What did you say she asked you to do?"

Sequoia went through it in her mind: Miss Seven asked her to dig holes, bury talismans, and set up the spirit gathering array. She also asked her to find a wooden box to hang on the porch to build a nest for magpies. Miss Seven even reached some kind of cooperation agreement with the magpies and asked The name of the magpie, that magpie can also talk.

Of course, when Miss Seven was talking to Magpie, she overheard it.

She wanted to tell Miss Fourth and Miss Six all this, but when she opened her mouth to speak, it was as if her voice was muted and she couldn't utter a single syllable.

Seeing her hesitate to speak, Jiang Trulu was very angry and even doubted her loyalty: "You have only been with her for three or five days and you are already loyal to her?"

Sequoia shook her head like a rattle: "That's not the case, slave, slave, slave..."

It was Miss Seven who placed a curse on this slave...

She couldn't even say this, and she was almost dying of anxiety.

She felt like she was seeing a ghost and couldn't control herself. She was afraid. She was afraid.

Jiang Trulu and Jiang Bailu had never heard of the art of preventing people from saying certain things, so they thought Sequoia didn't want to say it.

Jiang Trulu wanted to teach Sequoia a lesson, but Jiang Bailu looked tired and wanted to be quiet: "Let me ask you, did that magpie listen to Yuan Qi's words?"

Sequoia nodded heavily.

Jiang Truffle and Jiang Bailu were shocked.

Jiang Bailu asked in disbelief: "How is it possible? How can a flat-haired beast be manipulated by others? What do you think is going on?!"

Is it possible that Yuan Qi can still control beasts and understand the language of birds and beasts?
  Sequoia's expression was very strange. She tried her best to open her mouth to speak, but she couldn't say a word. Even if Jiang Bailu and Jiang Trulu have never heard of people being banned, can they still find something strange in Sequoia?
  Jiang Trulu asked: "It's not that you don't want to say it, or that you can't say it?"

Sequoia nodded eagerly again.

Jiang Bailu and Jiang Trulu said at the same time: "Monster!"

Both of them felt that this was something serious. How could it be possible to have such a monster at home?
  Jiang Trulu said: "I'm going to tell my father and mother right away. Fourth sister, please rest first."

Jiang Bailu ignored her fatigue: "I'm going too, this matter is no small matter."

Jiang Bailu asked Luzhu and Sequoia to keep an eye on Yuan Qi first to prevent her from running away.

Jiang Zhengqing was discussing matters with his guests, and Jiang Squlu and Jiang Bailu did not dare to disturb them, let alone forcefully break in. Their father had strict rules, so they could only wait.

When it was completely dark, a few diners came out of the study.

"Father, Xiaoqi is a monster. She can control what people say and don't say. How can our family tolerate monsters?"

Jiang Zhengqing has extensive knowledge. Although he has never personally seen people in Xuanmen use magic, he has heard about it to some extent.

Coupled with Yuan Qi's skill in saving the old lady, he had already guessed that Yuan Qi had some real abilities. Even Taoist priest Xuanji praised Yuan Qi very much and praised her three good talents in cultivating Taoism.

Jiang Bailu, Jiang Trulu, you and I slandered Yuan Qi word by word, and even made the remarks about Sequoia’s strange behavior even more exaggerated.

The two of them waited for Jiang Zhengqing to give the order to drive Yuan Qi out and send him back to Fusang Temple.

But Jiang Zhengqing still looked calm, as if what he heard was normal.

"Is there anything else you can do?"

Jiang Bailu was indignant: "Father, don't you care about Xiaoqi's sorcery skills? Let her harm the servants in our house?"

Jiang Trulu echoed from the side: "Yes, father, servants are also human beings, you can't ignore them."

Jiang Zhengqing could tell that the two sisters looked down on Yuan Qi. Yuan Qi also knew that Lu Zhu and Sequoia were spies for others, so he used magic, right?

"She is a member of Xuanmen, so it is normal for her to know some magic."

Jiang Bailu was unwilling to give in: "But that is a wicked way, father..."

Jiang Zhengqing said sternly: "Okay, don't say any more. It's not evil, it's just that you haven't seen it before. There will be many strange things for you in the future."

Today he heard something from his colleagues. An evil spirit was found in Xiangli's family. It was discovered by a little Taoist priest who was less than ten years old. It is expected that there will be a bloody storm in Kyoto. I don't know how many people will be unlucky because of this. .

There were not many ten-year-old Taoist priests in Kyoto. He felt that Yuan Qi did this.

Jiang Bailu and Jiang Trulu knew that their father was very strict and did not dare to say more, so they could only leave.

During dinner, Yuan Qi knew from the look in Jiang Bailu and Jiang Trulu's eyes that they were in a bad mood.

When they are in a bad mood, she is in a good mood.

She interrogated Sequoia just now, Sequoia confessed everything she said in Orchid Pavilion. Yuan Qi knew that Lu Zhu had betrayed her, so he also cast a gag spell on Lu Zhu.
