Chapter 196 Seven Days of Magic
"He dares!"

As soon as Xiao Ruan said that the crown prince was pestering the emperor to marry the princess of the Northern Jiang Kingdom, Lu Heng's face immediately turned blue.He patted Ruanta next to him heavily, and said angrily: "If he really dares to marry Princess Beijiang, I will make trouble so that the two of them can't get married!"

"That's the reason. It's not too late for you to wait for the prince to break his promise before attacking him. Why do you doubt and deny him now? If someone says every day that you are going to marry another man, the prince will always come to you Eat vinegar, can you bear it?"

"I……"

Just as Lu Heng wanted to say that he couldn't bear it, he suddenly saw Xiao Ruan looking at him with malicious intent, and immediately closed his mouth tightly.

It seems that this is indeed the case. The prince now cares about her everywhere, and is meticulous.The shadow of the princess of the Northern Jiang Kingdom hadn't arrived yet, so he was out of control first, no wonder he was ridiculed.

"That's all, I'll listen to you."

After figuring out the cause and effect, Lu Heng's eyes instantly regained clarity, but his heart was still brooding over the princess he married.

"Brother said that the princess of the Northern Jiang Kingdom will come to Beijing in ten days. Would you like to go and have a look with me then?"

What Lu Heng said about going to have a look was to sneak out of the mansion and wait on the way that Princess Beijiang must pass to enter the palace.

As if worried that Xiao Ruan would not go with her, Lu Heng said anxiously: "Don't worry, I will definitely pack up the room early that day, and we can only look at the upstairs with a wide view. Don't let anyone hit you."

Xiao Ruan didn't want to agree at first, but recently, the name of Princess Beijiang who came to marry him has been heard in her ears from time to time.Xiao Ruan became interested in her before she knew it, and seeing Lu Heng was so anxious, she really agreed.

Time passed quickly, and ten days passed in a flash. When the princess of Beijiang entered the city, neither Xiao Ruan nor Lu Heng came to watch.

Lu Heng was because the Ruan family finally showed signs of giving birth on this day, and the whole Lu family was busy. Lu Heng was immersed in the joy of becoming an aunt, and he had long forgotten about Princess Beijiang.

And Xiao Ruan went to Huo Ming's residence instead of Huo Xun this day.

As soon as he walked into Tong'an Zhai where Huo Ming and Liu Shi lived, Xiao Ruan could smell a pungent smell.

"Miss, the smell is so strong here, why don't you go in?"

Seeing her young lady frowning, Zhu Yun obviously couldn't smell the pungent smell of medicine, so she suggested that she enter the room instead of her.

"No, you can always bear with it."

Xiao Ruan waved his hands and walked straight into the hall.

She got the news early this morning that Huo Ming was seriously ill.No matter how the doctor tried to treat him, there was no effect at all, so he hurried over with great worry.

After entering Tong'an Zhai, Xiao Ruan couldn't help showing surprise again.

She thought that the smell just now was the smell of medicine boiled for Huo Ming, but it was not at all.

I saw incense burners placed in every corner of the room, and the pungent smell was exactly the white spices burning on the incense burner.

When Liu Shi saw Xiao Ruan coming in, she was a little surprised, and hurriedly asked people to remove all the incense burners in the room temporarily.

"Ruan'er, why didn't you inform me that I'm here, I haven't had time to clean up here, I'm afraid you will be a little bit overwhelmed by the smell."

"Auntie, why did you light so many spices in the room, what kind of fragrance is this, how can it smell so bad?"

Zhuyun carefully looked at the incense sticks on the incense burner, but didn't recognize what kind of fragrance it was, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and immediately showed an anxious expression.

"There won't be anything in this incense that is bad for the fetus in my lady's womb, right?"

"No, no! Absolutely not. I have asked the doctor to check the ingredients of these spices. It is indeed just a bit pungent, and it is not harmful to people at all."

Mrs. Liu hurriedly explained, seeing Xiao Ruan frowning, she quickly asked the servants to speed up, and quickly removed all the incense burners.

In the room, Huo Ming lay motionless on the bed, and Xiao Ruan unconsciously showed a worried expression.

"Auntie, what happened to father? Could it be that those incense burners have something to do with father's illness?"

Huo Mingan lay quietly on the bed, there was no abnormality on his face, but he was a little thinner than when Xiao Ruan saw it last time.

Embarrassment flashed across Liu's face, and he sat on the round stool and glanced at Huo Ming who was on the bed, and then explained the whole story with a sigh.

It turned out that as early as half a month ago, Huo Ming suddenly couldn't fall asleep peacefully at night, and would have some strange dreams every time he fell asleep.Even later, auditory hallucinations appeared, always feeling that Huo Xun's dead mother and Huo Chu were by his side.

Huo Ming felt guilty and sad at the same time, and couldn't sleep well all night.He found a doctor, but there was nothing he could do. In the end, he heard that a Taoist priest in a Taoist temple outside the city specialized in treating this kind of ghost haunting disease, so Liu paid a lot of money to invite him to his home to do it.

Those incense burners were exactly what the Taoist priest asked to prepare, and the other party also said that these incense burners had to be placed in Huo Ming's room for seven days before they would be effective.

"It's already the third day of the practice, and the Taoist priest said that there are still four days before the master can wake up."

At the end, Liu's expression was filled with expectation.

Obviously, her feelings for Huo Ming were sincere, and she didn't want any accidents to happen to him.

"Where did Auntie hear about this priest?"

Xiao Ruan didn't doubt Liu's concern for Huo Ming at all, but that Taoist priest used this method to treat Huo Ming's illness, but people couldn't help but doubt it.

"Is Ruan'er suspicious of this Taoist priest? I've already inquired about it. This Taoist priest is indeed a master of Taoism, but anyone who has practiced his deeds is already the same as a normal person, so you can rest assured."

Seeing Xiao Ruan's suspicion, Mrs. Liu quickly spoke up for the Taoist priest, as if she had seen the Taoist priest cast spells with her own eyes.

She trusted the priest so much, Xiao Ruan frowned unknowingly.

She believes that such a Taoist priest with superb Taoism as Liu said does exist, but this kind of person always disappears and will not easily appear in front of the world. Even if he does appear, he will not be like the "" High-profile."

Moreover, she had been with Zhao Yan for a long time in her previous life, but she had never heard of any masters with superb Taoism in the Southern Jin Dynasty.

If there really was such a person, how could Zhao Yan, who was recruiting talents everywhere, not take him under his command?

A strange color flashed in his eyes, and Xiao Ruan became even more curious about the identity of the Taoist priest: "Could it be that this Taoist priest casts spells on other people as well, and must wait seven days?"

"I'm not very clear about this, but that Taoist priest really casts spells in this way, and needs to be lit with incense."

Liu's words were convincing, and Xiao Ruan couldn't directly say that the Taoist priest's identity was suspicious, so he pursed his lips unconsciously.

"Is there any family in this capital that has been treated by the Taoist priest? Wouldn't Aunt Ruo tell me about it?"

"This... Actually, I don't know much, but your grandfather was indeed healed by this priest."

Mrs. Liu thought about it carefully, and it seemed that she really couldn't tell anyone who could help get rid of the evil spirits, so she hesitated for a long time before telling the story of Han Gong.

When Xiao Ruan heard the words, he suddenly showed surprise, and blurted out: "When did grandfather suffer from such a disease?"

After saying that, before Mrs. Liu could speak, Xiao Ruan remembered that a month ago, he had indeed received news from the South Korean government that the old man had an emergency.

Suddenly, before Liu could speak, Xiao Ruan frowned again and said, "I still remember that my grandfather had a cold a few days ago, but somehow it turned into a disease of ghosts and spirits?"

Facing Xiao Ruan's burning eyes, Liu's face also flashed surprise, glanced at Huo Ming on the bed, and then shook his head to explain.

"Your grandfather did suffer from typhoid fever at the beginning, but soon he said that he saw the dead...your grandmother...was coming to take her life. After being frightened, he became insane and lost his mind all day long. ..."

Thinking of the scene at that time, Mrs. Liu seemed to be in a state of embarrassment. She paused for a moment before talking about the Taoist priest again.

"The eldest son is well-informed. Seeing that your grandfather must be haunted by ghosts, so he asked around for an expert who can exorcise ghosts and catch ghosts. Only then did he find out about Taoist Gao. I didn't believe it at first, but then The Taoist priest cast a spell, and after only seven days, the old man really recovered."

At the end, when Liu looked at Huo Ming who was on the bed again, she unconsciously muttered something again.

Xiao Ruan listened for a while, but couldn't hear what he was reading, but her brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Why didn't my aunt tell me earlier? The doctor Lin in the palace has a good relationship with the general. If he finds out that his father is sick, he will definitely come to treat him. If you ask a Taoist to do it like this... I am afraid that the doctor will need to prescribe some medicine to take care of it."

Seemingly hearing the reproach in Xiao Ruan's voice, Liu's face immediately showed guilt.

"At that time, I really wanted to ask Dr. Lin to come and take a closer look for the master, but the old master insisted on asking me to invite Taoist Gao, so..."

Liu's eyes were still a little dodgy, and he couldn't help but recall the scene when Huo Ming fell ill.

At that time, she had already sent a servant to inform Huo Xun, and the old man knew about it somehow, and he immediately asked someone to invite Taoist Gao.

When the old Duke was sick, he often talked about being ashamed of his elder brother. After recovering from his illness, he cared more about Huo Ming.Huo Ming felt emotional in his heart, so he prevented Mrs. Liu from going to invite the imperial physician.

Mrs. Liu was obedient to Huo Ming, knowing that he probably wanted to take this opportunity to restore the father-son relationship with the old Duke, so she followed his wishes.

Not only did he not tell Huo Xun about this, but he actually invited that Taoist priest to heal Huo Ming.

"Isn't my aunt a little confused to do this? The general and I are father's daughter-in-law and son, but now that my father is seriously ill and he didn't inform us, how can I be filial?"

When Xiao Ruan heard the last word, his heart felt as if he had encountered a violent storm.Unexpectedly, in just half a month, so many strange things happened in the South Korean government.

If someone hadn't sent her the news today, wouldn't she and Huo Xun know nothing about Huo Ming's condition?If Huo Ming was not healed by the Taoist priest seven days later and died directly, wouldn't she and Huo Xun regret it for nothing!

"I have to tell the general about this." Xiao Ruan's tone was a little tough, and Liu's heart was filled with regret.If Han Guogong hadn't invited Taoist Gao, he would definitely have discussed it with Huo Xun and Xiao Ruan.

Right now, Huo Ming's condition has not improved, and he has really been charged with not taking good care of him.

Xiao Ruan saw Liu's face beside her, her thin face was now a little haggard.Thinking that some tossing is inevitable these few days, I can't help but feel a little distressed.

"Aunt, you don't have to worry. The general and I have found Doctor Lin, and my father's illness will be cured." At this moment, Xiao Ruan stroked Liu's hand lightly to express comfort.

Looking at Xiao Ruan in front of her, Liu couldn't help her eyes becoming hot.
