"Oh." Emperor Longqing said with an ambiguous "oh" and asked meaningfully, "Then, in your opinion, what should we do now?"
Taoist Priest Yuanyi frowned, looking like he was thinking carefully. After a moment, he said, "The Fifth Prince has a precious fate, and he cannot stand being bumped into by a woman born in the Year of the Rat. If you want to stay healthy, the princess may have to avoid him."
Emperor Longqing was in a state of confusion. He turned the jade ring in his hand half a circle before stopping and asked nonchalantly, "Does that mean that she has to leave the palace so that the Fifth Prince can be safe and healthy?"
Taoist Yuanyi bowed respectfully and said yes.
Princess Zheng was so frightened that she had no idea what was going on. She couldn't utter a word for a moment. She grabbed Wei An's sleeve and wanted to say something, but she didn't even dare to move her lips.
Queen Fang, who had been expressionless all the time, glanced at Wei An when she heard this, then looked at Concubine Peng De next to her. She was also a little confused, wondering why these people were staring at Wei An's zodiac sign and talking about it.
She thought that Concubine Peng De's move was aimed at her, but who knew that all the knives flew towards Wei An in the blink of an eye. This was really unexpected.
The person involved, Wei An, was able to keep his composure. He fixed his bright eyes on Master Yuan Yi, neither dodging nor dodging. After a moment, he smiled gently.
In the eyes of Taoist Yuanyi, her smile was a kind of fearlessness that did not know the consequences of one's own life. He put on a kind smile and sighed with compassion.
It is really a blooming age, but it is a pity that she will die soon.
But it’s good too. With him by my side, no one would dare to say that their death was unjust.
Concubine Peng De reacted the fastest and immediately said, "Let her out! Let her out!"
When she calmed down, she realized that everyone's eyes were on her. She calmed down and said, "Master Yuanyi is a highly respected Heavenly Master with great virtue. What he said must be accurate."
Is it accurate
Emperor Longqing turned around and asked Taoist Yuanyi: "In your opinion, the reason why the fifth prince fell ill is because Shouning's zodiac sign is incompatible and therefore violated a taboo?"
Taoist Yuanyi should be.
Emperor Longqing then asked, "Who else has violated the taboo?"
Taoist Yuanyi thought about it carefully and said, "Other than that, there is nothing to worry about. It's just that..."
"Just what?" Emperor Longqing was still casual, narrowing his eyes and looking at him: "Are there any other taboos?"
Taoist Priest Yuanyi nodded and specifically mentioned the names of Shen Chen and Chu Jingwu: "It is not appropriate for these two to be present during the Taoist ceremony."
These monks and Taoists do have a lot of taboos when doing things, and they often say that this one has conflicted with that one. If he singles these people out now, it won't seem abrupt.
Emperor Longqing drew out the word "oh".
He turned around and waved at Shen Chen, Chu Jingwu and the others: "In that case, you can go out and wait."
As for Wei An, Emperor Longqing frowned and said, "It's getting late. It's not appropriate for her to leave the palace alone now. She should leave the palace early tomorrow morning and wait in Yonghe first."
Wei An replied yes, squeezed Princess Zheng's hand to signal her not to worry, and then followed the palace maid out of Fengyi Palace.
"You don't seem worried at all."
She hadn't walked a few steps when she heard the voices of Shen Chen and Chu Jingwu. She stopped and waited for them for a moment before smiling: "Aren't you also very patient?"
Chu Jingwu spread his hands helplessly and said, "Well, I'm not a thousand-year-old fox like you. I'm still worried. Why don't one of you two be kind enough to tell me what happened?"
He clicked his tongue twice, looked them over, and sighed, "It's really tiring to get along with people like you. Can we just say what we want to say?"
Shen Chen glared at him unhappily.
Chu Jingwu always held his head high in front of Chu Jingxing and bowed in front of Shen Chen. He wilted when he was glared at by him. He walked a few steps behind them and urged them: "Honestly, what's going on? I haven't figured out what's going on yet. Can you tell me what they are doing?"
Shen Chen and Wei An looked at each other and they both smiled.
"What's the fuss?" Shen Chen put his hands behind his back and smiled like a fox: "He deliberately wanted to get rid of the three of us. Do you think it's a good thing?"
Just talking nonsense.
He also knew that it couldn't be a good thing.
Chu Jingwu couldn't help but sigh: "Are you going to tell me or not?!"
He was getting impatient: "Why are you asking God for help and why are you getting us out of here for no reason? What are you doing?"
Shen Chen glanced at him and said, "Didn't you hear Third Young Master Lin say yesterday that the Fifth Prince was poisoned because the pea yellow he ate contained oleander powder?"
Chu Jingwu was a little confused: "I heard about it, but what does this have to do with asking the gods? Instead of handing the case over to the Jinyiwei to investigate, asking the gods who poisoned the fifth prince, isn't that ridiculous?"
Wei An was much more patient than Shen Chen: "What's so funny? Don't you all know that His Majesty is a devout believer in the Three Pure Ones? This Taoist Priest Yuan Yi is deeply loved and favored by His Majesty."
Chu Jingwu stopped and thought for a while, as if he understood something. He glanced at the two of them and said, "Someone wants to use him to plot against us?"
He was confused again: "But what kind of frame-up is this? It's just that Wei An and the Fifth Prince have conflicting zodiac signs. Conflicting zodiac signs are common. Even if he really has a conflict with the Fifth Prince, can't he just have less contact with him in the future? And us, he just asked us to go out and avoid being there when he's doing the Taoist ritual. How can he frame us like this?"
It’s not that simple. He knows these people.
Chu Jingxing never leaves anyone a way out when doing things.
Could he really have set up such a painless and itchy trap
That doesn't seem like it.
Wei An noticed his confusion and reminded him: "What do you think of this Taoist Priest Yuan Yi?"
“It’s hard to say.” Chu Jingwu said solemnly, “I always feel that he is weird. He speaks in a long tone and seems to be mysterious. He is far inferior to Zhang Tianshi.”
But it was precisely his elixirs that worked for Emperor Longqing, so he trusted him the most.
Shen Chen didn't keep him in suspense and told him directly: "Chu Jingxing asked him to come here not to harm us, but to protect us."
Maintain them
Chu Jingwu was even more confused. He was completely bewildered by what Shen Chen said, and he couldn't help but get anxious: "Can you please be more clear? If you have something to say, just say it clearly. It's so frustrating to be so evasive like this."
Others are not like them, they can't know what the other person means just by lip movements.
