With Yun Xi's shout, the guards patrolling outside the courtyard immediately picked up the hydrangea lantern and rushed into the courtyard, and the lanterns hanging in the courtyard were quickly lit; The eunuch who was guarding outside the house also immediately walked in, using the light in his hand to shine around; Li Sha'er beside him was naturally awakened, opened her hazy eyes, straightened up, put on her clothes and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?" ”

"I just heard something unusual." Yun Xi then said what he had just heard.

The guards and eunuchs in the courtyard immediately checked it, especially next to the window, which was repeatedly checked three times by different people.

As for Yun Hee, he took the futon to another room to sleep, and closed the curtains to block the lights outside. There were also more than a dozen eunuchs guarding the outhouse, and if they heard any unusual movement or His Majesty's shouts, they immediately rushed in to 'escort'.

This night did not happen again, but Yun Xi couldn't sleep well, and just squinted groggily for a while.

When he woke up in the morning, he immediately asked about the 'Assassins', but no one found any Assassins or ghosts or anything like that.

"Your Majesty, the ministers have not seen any trace of the assassin at all,......。 It's just that there is one thing that is a little strange, there is a faint stain on the outer frame of the window where His Majesty slept in the middle of the night last night, which looks like the juice of some kind of flower and plant after breaking its skin, and it looks like a very thin paste. Song Liang reported to Yun Xi.

"Smudges? Stained? Yun Xi frowned and thought: "There are no flowers and plants outside my window, could it be that the gardener accidentally rubbed the window when he moved the flower pot?" It's not right, the bedroom where I rested last night was very far away from where the flower pots were placed, so what did it have to happen to accidentally touch the window? ”

However, they immediately put the matter aside, and it didn't seem to have much to do with the 'Assassins', so it wasn't worth paying too much attention to at this point.

However, it is impossible for an Assassin to enter Yun Xi's courtyard: the courtyard where he lives now is very far away from the outermost part of the palace, and although there are no guards on duty at night in the courtyard, there are people watching outside the courtyard and inside the house, and the Assassin cannot enter at all; And if there is an inner ghost as an assassin, not to mention whether this is impossible, just say that if there is really an inner ghost, it is impossible to have just these sounds, and it is estimated that Yun Xi was in a different place last night.

So in the end, everyone thought it was: haunted, or someone was doing sorcery.

"In Yichen's opinion, this must be the person behind the Caisheng Cutting Case who is using evil magic to deal with Your Majesty! But because His Majesty has the luck of the Ming Dynasty and has a very good life, the person who performs the evil magic can't break the aura of His Majesty's body, so these unusual voices appeared. The guard Zhang Wuji said immediately. After all, he was born in Wudang Mountain and knew many people who knew how to spell, and he was convinced of this, so he was the first to say.

However, not only him, but almost all the guards and eunuchs and palace maids believed that they were the masterminds behind the Caisheng Torture case, and used the items collected to perform evil magic against him; A few people believe that it is not only evil magic, but also internal ghosts.

Even Yun Xi, who was originally suspicious of this one, couldn't help but believe it after listening to the words of the crowd: Someone is using evil magic to deal with me!

And in this way, there is an explanation for the reason why Xiyi fell into the evil magic: because Yun Xi's luck is too strong, the evil magic of the person who performs the evil magic does not work for him, and it automatically goes to the closest people around him. As for why it didn't come to Li Sha'er, Zhang Wuji, who knew a little about spells and fortune-telling, said: "This is because Concubine Hui's eight characters are light and easy to be infected; Yun Concubine Niangniang's eight-character weight is not easy to do. ”

Immediately, a vigorous inventory of possible internal ghosts began in the entire palace. All the locals who were able to enter the backyard of the palace were questioned, and although no ghosts were found, many of them were replaced, and all those who could enter and leave the courtyard where Yun Xi was located were replaced.

Just when the possible internal ghosts were being investigated, people from the Guangdong Metropolitan Division, the Inspectorate Division, and the Political Envoy Division came to report that the Commander of the Metropolitan Government and the Envoy of the Governor were seriously ill and had difficulty getting out of bed; Yang Ren's illness has been seen by many famous doctors, but it is still not good; Even Qian Minglin, the general judge who presided over the Caisheng Torture case, had a fever, but it was not serious.

The palm seal officials of the three major yamen in Guangdong were sick at the same time, which was absolutely abnormal, and Yun Xi realized that the three of them and Qian Minglin must have also been 'sick' because of the Caisheng torture case. And this is definitely not someone who has drugged them: it is easier to drug one official, but it is absolutely impossible to drug many officials at about the same time.

There is only one plausible explanation: they have all fallen for sorcery. Yun Xi also believes in spells and the like.

He immediately ordered: "All the Taoist monks who have shown Concubine Hui here will go to the mansion of Envoy Yang Bu and others to show them after seeing Concubine Hui. ”

After giving this order, Yun Xi got up and went to Xi Yi's dormitory to see her. Although Yun Xi has no strength at all today, and he has no energy at all, he must go and see Xi Yi.

Because there were many things going on today, it was already south and almost noon when Yun Xi came to her dormitory. When he entered, he saw dozens of Taoist priests or monks standing in the courtyard and side rooms, bowing their heads in contemplation or talking to others. However, their voices were very quiet, and they didn't know if they were afraid of disturbing Xiyi in the house, or worried that their unique secrets would be heard.

These people heard the footsteps of many people coming from the gate of the courtyard, and they all looked sideways, and saw Yun Xi walking in. They immediately bowed down.

Yun Xi naturally let them not have to be polite, and also said a few words and greetings with a few monks he knew, such as Yang Dongzi of Sanyuan Palace.

After talking to them, Yun Xi was about to speak to everyone, when he suddenly noticed a Taoist priest who seemed to have seen him yesterday, and asked him, "I seem to have seen you yesterday." ”

The man was not tall, his face was fair, he looked about forty years old, and his body was very strong, but he did not know martial arts. When he heard Yun Xi's words, he immediately bowed and said, "Poor Dao Mingliang, I have seen Your Majesty." Poor Dao did come yesterday, but he couldn't solve the evil magic on Concubine Hui's mother at that time, so after talking to Poor Dao's senior brother, he asked him to come today, and Poor Dao also came to take a look. ”

"I see." Yun Xi said.

Yun Xi then stopped paying attention to him, turned around and walked to the middle of the courtyard, raised his voice and asked, "A few real people and Zen masters, have you seen the face and palm of my beloved concubine?" Is there a way to save it? ”

These people thought for a while, and then said: "Your Majesty, this kind of evil art has never been seen by the poor Dao, and the poor Dao is only thirty percent sure, and it cannot be guaranteed. "Your Majesty, the poor monk is only fifty percent sure at most, but if the poor monk's spell fails, it will cause some damage to the body, and he doesn't dare to rashly cast it on Concubine Hui." "Your Majesty, there is nothing you can do." ……

Generally speaking, today's monks are very cautious, and they don't have a complete grasp of the evil art on Xiyi's body, so they don't dare to act at will.

Yun Xi was very disappointed. Now the people present are already the most capable people in the area of Guangzhou City, and they can't solve the evil magic on Xiyi's body, so who else can he count on?
