Is the Queen's fortune told today?

Chapter 5 White Lotus Cousin

After listening to his words, Xiao Fengqi was silent for a while, then called the leader of his bodyguards over and said: "Go and find out why Wei Guogong suddenly wanted to let his granddaughter marry me, and whether there is any inside story in it."

Lu Changan nodded sharply at the side: "Yes, yes, yes, the amulet is real, so the advice she gave you about marriage must also be true. Check it out, you must check it out thoroughly!"

The leader of the guards went to take orders, and Xiao Fengqi and Lu Changan began to find out the reason for the sudden tiger attack.

In places like the outskirts of Kyoto, there have never been ferocious beasts, even wild boars do not exist, but suddenly there are two tigers, which is suspicious no matter how you look at it.

After a while, the guard came back and said, "Your Highness, we found this in the carriage."

He said and presented something in front of Xiao Fengqi.

Xiao Fengqi took a closer look, and it turned out to be an incense burner. The spices and incense ash inside had been cleaned up by the guards, and it was emitting a strange fishy smell.

The guard lowered his head and said, "This censer seems to have been soaked in the blood of a tiger cub, and it was stained with the breath of the tiger cub. This breath permeated the entire compartment when the spices were burning, and touched His Highness and Lord Hou, so the two Only the tiger will go mad when it smells the smell of the two of you, and will attack you fiercely. The smell is originally very weak, and it is covered by spices, so the subordinates didn't notice it, so please punish your Highness."

Xiao Fengqi squinted his eyes, and said in a low voice: "The black hands behind the scenes are careful and careful, and it's normal if they didn't find out. But after all, you are negligent. After returning to the palace, each of you will receive twenty lashes yourself. Small punishments and big warnings, long-term memory. "

The guards of Prince Zhao's Mansion beat their muscles and bones every day. Although the twenty lashes hurt a little, it was not a severe punishment.

The guard knew that Xiao Fengqi was deliberately letting them go, and said gratefully: "Yes, thank you Your Highness, I will do my duty faithfully in the future!"

Lu Changan looked at the censer and asked, "Who did this, cousin, do you have a clue?"

Xiao Fengqi sneered: "Who else could it be? Those two people from the East Palace and the Central Palace are nothing more than that. Knowing that I have no destiny for the throne, but still pressing me to death, if I don't give them some flair, they're afraid they'll take it for granted. I've become a persimmon!"

Here, when Bai Xuanyin returned to the mansion, she was not far away when she was found by the servant girl, "Second miss, the old lady is here to invite you."

Bai Xuanyin sighed, and walked towards her grandmother's Songhe Hall with some helplessness.

Walking into the Songhe Hall, I saw her mother, Mrs. Zhao, was standing cautiously by the side, her eyebrows were pleasing to the eye, and she was breathing cautiously, while Mrs. Bai was reclining on the couch with her eyes closed. The good girl was beating her back, it was her cousin Bai Qiyu.

Seeing Bai Qiyu, Bai Xuanyin couldn't help but want to roll her eyes.

Bai Qiyu is her uncle's daughter. It is said that in order to support her father's education, her uncle had to go out to do business, but he died in a foreign country. The eldest aunt also left soon because of excessive worry, leaving only Bai Qiyu and a younger brother.

Bai Qiyu looks so pitiful, and her younger brother Bai Bin is the only grandson of the old lady, so the two siblings are raised by the old lady herself, caring and protecting them like eyeballs, and she also asks Bai Shaoqing to treat the two siblings as if they were her own. Loving and raising.

So it is clear that Xuanyin is the first and only child of Bai Shaoqing and his wife, but she is the second young lady in Shaoqing's mansion, because Bai Qiyu is the eldest lady and Bai Bin is the third young master.

The original body was honest and dull, but the current Bai Xuanyin is not easy to coax, she knew from the first day that this cousin is not a cheap lamp.

Bai Xuanyin ignored Bai Qiyu, walked directly to her mother Zhao Suyun, and quietly asked, "Mother?"

Zhao Suyun smiled at her, then shook her head, indicating that she was fine and told her not to worry.

When Bai Qiyu saw this scene, hatred flashed in her eyes, she pursed her lips, and suddenly said loudly: "Second sister, have you returned from fortune-telling?"

This sound immediately woke up Mrs. Bai, she raised her head and saw Bai Xuanyin, her expression suddenly became unkind, she slammed the table, and said angrily: "Evil barrier, don't kneel down for me!"

Bai Xuanyin secretly rolled her eyes in her heart, and said, "I don't know what mistake my granddaughter made, why did she kneel down?"

I'm afraid this tone is not intended to make the old lady even more angry, Zhao Suyun hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Bai Xuanyin behind her, and said with an apologetic smile:
"Mother, Yin'er just fell into the water a few days ago, and she is still weak now, why don't I take her back and think about it behind closed doors, my daughter-in-law must discipline her well!"

The old lady Bai said angrily: "Is she still weak? I think she is very good! She used to be dull and gloomy like a ghost all day long, but she finally fell into the water and regained her senses, but she started talking all day long. Dare to go out and learn the fortune-telling of those low-level swindlers! She, she doesn't look like a lady in the slightest!"

Bai Qiyu beside her also said worriedly: "Yeah, the second younger sister is too nonsense, and it's all right to make nonsense to the common people. I heard that today he cursed the son of Marquis Chengen to cut off his sons and grandchildren, and gave Marquis Zhenyuan some kind of amulet. Saying that people will use it, isn’t that a curse on others? Sigh, these dignitaries have been offended by the second sister, I don’t know if they will embarrass the second uncle in the court..."

When Mrs. Bai heard this, she became even angrier. She pointed at Bai Xuanyin tremblingly and said, "Listen, listen, this is all a good thing she did! If it really affects your father's career, you can kill him! Now I just let you kneel down, could it be that I have wronged you!"

Bai Xuanyin snorted coldly: "I'm not wrong! That Lu Shengguang really has the face of being cut off from his descendants, and Marquis Zhenyuan will indeed suffer disaster. I gave him the amulet to save his life!"

"You bastard!" The old lady Bai was so angry that she got up herself in such a panic, she picked up the dragon head crutches and was about to hit Bai Xuanyin, but Bai Xuanyin quickly dodged, and Zhao Suyun also helped to cover it, and for a moment, the room was in chaos.

In the chaos, a deep and majestic voice sounded: "What's going on?"

It turned out that Bai Zhengxian, the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, came back from the Yamen.

The old lady Bai was supported by Bai Qiyu to sit down, and said angrily: "It's not because of your good daughter!"

Then Bai Qiyu explained the ins and outs in detail, emphasizing the impact on Bai Zhengxian's career.

Unexpectedly, after listening to the silence for a moment, Bai Zhengxian said: "I just got the news before I went down to the Yamen. His Royal Highness Zhaowang and Zhenyuan Hou originally went out of Beijing to go to Zhuangzi in the suburbs, but unexpectedly encountered a fierce tiger in the suburbs of Beijing."

All of a sudden, everyone in the room froze.
