Chapter 31 (14)

Cheng Jiaxuan gradually stopped his tears, seeing that he spoke clearly and remembered many things accurately, he really didn't look like a patient. And his situation today is very different from the previous days. He also lowered his voice and said, "Are you cured of your illness, or are you ...... Or- have you always pretended to scare people?"

Xuan Shuang snorted, "Oh?" propped himself up from the chair, approached her, and said, "Yes or no, you can guess." How about I make another bet with you?" he held up a finger to make a "bet" appointment, but suddenly turned his wrist and poked his fingertips on her cheek, making a "beep" and "beep" sound from her mouth. It's kind of like a child's doing.

Cheng Jiaxuan couldn't cry or laugh, he was really confused by him, and when he wanted to ask another question, a mage standing at the front suddenly said: "Ready, the practice is about to begin." Please wait outside the white circle for the time being. ”

Cheng Jiaxuan glanced at Xuan Shuang with some reluctance, and said, "Then, I'll go first." You need to get better quickly, and don't forget, you owe me a question. If you're always crazy, I'...... I...... I will take care of you until you really come to your senses......" Xuanshuang hooked her finger and attached it to her ear, whispering a word. Cheng Jiaxuan's expression was very different when she heard this, her eyes opened suddenly, and she looked at him again in disbelief. It wasn't until the people around him urged him again and again that he slowly retreated.

The mages lit torches and burned incense to make offerings, so that the heavens and the earth could be opened. Then he danced around Xuanshuang, raised the torch in his hand, and chanted incantations in his mouth. Xuanshuang rested one leg on his knees, his toes swayed slightly, and he leisurely looked at everyone in front of him. Shamans often wear masks, which are depicted with cows, ghosts, snakes, gods, and other objects. In order to deter the ghosts, the graphics were painted with a fierce face. Seeing this, Xuanshuang only jokingly called "a group of monsters with colorful faces".

Seeing the first person again, when he sang to the highest interest, he threw off his coat, bare his chest and exposed his breasts, and sang and danced with his chest patted on his chest. The other took the torch, brought his lips to the flames, and took a sip. After pausing and listening to the sound of "whew", he sent all the flames to his arm, and a cluster of flames rolled back and forth, but the flesh on the arm was not burned.

Xuan Shuang couldn't help but praise: "Okay! This hand is beautiful! Can you teach me to succeed?" The group of mages still danced by themselves, as if they hadn't heard him. Xuanshuang was devastated. After a while, the man with his chest lifted his palm and groped slowly in front of it. Xuan Shuang's heart suddenly gave birth to an extremely ominous premonition. This situation came suddenly, knowing that it was all an illusion they deliberately used, but they still couldn't help but panic in their hearts, and it was difficult to dispel it.

Sure enough, the next moment, the man held a heart in his hand. In addition to being much more indifferent than Xuanshuang's appearance, this situation is almost a copy of what happened that day. When Xuan Shuang thought of this, he couldn't help but shiver, and even his whole body was trembling.

Dolgon and Shunji stood not far from the circle. Seeing this, he said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, you see that evil ghost can't bear it anymore and starts to move." Shunzhi said: "Hmm." Hopefully it will work. ”

Cheng Jiaxuan was worried about observing back and forth, and couldn't help but echo in her heart what Xuan Shuang had said to herself just now: "If my illness is really cured, what else do I need to answer you?" Cheng Jiaxuan thought about it, and always felt that it was a tacit acquiescence, saying that his illness was indeed pretending. But there are still so many princes and ministers staring at the field, and I don't know if this is a big crime of bullying the king. I felt a wave of anxiety again.

Xuan Shuang saw that these people were showing the miserable scenes in hell everywhere, and his body trembled more and more. Over there, Xiang Shunzhi only said that he was sneaky and was fighting against the spell, and the two were fighting, no matter how good they were, and there was some worry.

Xuanshuang sat on the chair exhausted, her mind full of imagination. From time to time, he was in high spirits, and according to the joy of others, he put on more than a dozen expressions in a row. However, he amused himself, no matter how much he renovated the tricks, he still couldn't dispel the continuous noise of the tambourines colliding and the gongs around him, and his head was about to explode. In the end, it was really boring, so I simply treated those mages as a group of monkey players. After a few whistles, sometimes applauding and coaxing, and later, I remembered that I was now sitting in the circle, sometimes sluggish, sometimes laughing and scolding, and being watched by others. I don't know who is the real clown.

After a long time, Xuan Shuang only felt that he had gone through countless times from death to life, and finally waited for the group of mages to disperse from his side, lined up in a circle, and went to the emperor to return his life. Shunzhi was already impatient to wait, and he didn't dare to disturb the practice before, so he never opened his mouth to urge. At this time, he asked anxiously, "What's the situation?"

A mage muttered, but no one understood. Only one of the guards had an epiphany on his face, and he was the same errand runner that Dolgon had sent to meet with the mage in the first place. On behalf of the report: "Back to the emperor's words, the master said that Ling Beile's strange illness suddenly came because of evil spirits. As a result of this practice, it has been temporarily expelled. But ......"

Shunzhi said happily: "That's good, if Xuanshuang can indeed recover as before, I will definitely be rewarded!

The guard hesitated for a moment, then said, "But...... There are still diseases that have not been eradicated, and today's practice is still to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The source is traced because of the feng shui of Lord Baylor's residence...... It's a bit inappropriate. Shunzhi said unhappily: "Nonsense!" glanced at the mage, after all, he was still convinced of the way of gods and ghosts, and he didn't want to be too guilty, so he slowed down his tone slightly, and said: "The Forbidden City is a treasure land of feng shui, so it is where my Imperial City of the Qing Dynasty is located, what is the abnormality of the sleeping palace here? Could it be that the foundation of my dynasty will be shaken?"

The guard was so frightened that his face changed color, and he hesitated for a long time, but he couldn't explain the root cause of the mistake. Dolgon said lightly: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this, I understand a little. The place where you live is very particular, consistent with your own qi, and involves a lot. Although Ling Gongzi is still just a Baylor now, we all know what his future identity will be. If the good material and jade fall into the bricks, mud and rubble, it will wear out and dull for a long time, which is the same reason. It is to let him live here for a long time, and his status and residence are in conflict, and he is angry. After waiting for a long time, how can you not be infected with evil?"

The guard hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, the prince is right." This matter makes the villain ramble thousands of words, and he may not be able to explain it clearly, but now the prince will make this context smooth out in a few words. Be just like...... It's like a few precious goldfish paid tribute by foreign countries, if they are discarded in the stinky ditch at will, or in a few days, all of them will have a white belly. For the sake of today's plan, if you want to eradicate the scourge, you can only ask the emperor to issue an edict immediately, make Ling Baylor the crown prince, and give him another place to live in the East Palace, and the disease should be cured without treatment. Otherwise...... I'm afraid that if it's two heads in three days, I'm going to have a madness, and then I'm full of evil, but seeing that the host's body has been unattended for a long time, I must be even more bold and reckless, and I'm afraid of the symptoms...... It will get worse day by day, until it completely encroaches on the body and mind, and when the time comes, if you want to save each other, it will be a lack of skills. Please think twice......"

Shunzhi listened to the ministers close to him every day, openly and secretly, all to inquire about the establishment of the prince. I was extremely tired of it, and at this time, with this fuse, I suddenly became out of control, shook the sleeves of my robe fiercely, and said angrily: "How can this be reasonable! I have never heard of someone who will make trouble inexplicably because he can't be the prince." Even if there is really an evil spirit, it is his own suspicion that gives rise to a dark ghost. What do you say that you are blessed with the breath of the auspicious dragon, and you are born to be the prince's destiny? Is it the intention of inheriting the heavens? I am still the true dragon son of heaven, how can I not even know about it? This matter will never be mentioned again in the future! Who dares to say a word in front of me, and will be dealt with strictly! Even the closest people are no exception. When will I be crowned the crown prince, I have my own measure, and I can't afford others to break my mouth and put my beak behind my back! I am not terminally ill now, so I don't need to be in a hurry to find someone to succeed me!"

It was very rare for everyone to see Shunzhi so angry, and he knelt down and said in unison: "Long live the anger, take care of the dragon's body." ”

Xuanshuang was still left on the chair and ignored, and when he heard this, he suddenly raised his head and laughed. There is no trace of innocence in the laughter, but it is full of ridicule. Shunzhi was still angry, Fang wanted to ask, Xuanshuang suddenly jumped up from the chair, laughed and walked out of the field, and after a while, he stepped out of the threshold, turned around a few times, and disappeared without a trace. When he passed by Shunzhi's side, he always looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, ignoring him. Behind him, I could still hear the servant admonishing again: "Your Majesty, you see, several masters are prescient, you failed to give the order in time, isn't Lord Belle really sick again?"

Shunzhi was furious, kicked the kneeling slave away, and shouted: "Come on, let's drive these thieves out of the palace with gossip!" The group of mages muttered a lot of words, although Shunzhi didn't understand, he knew that there would never be anything good.

Cheng Jiaxuan thought that this matter had already reached this step, but Xuan Shuang came to add fuel to the fire, and left with a long laugh openly, cutting Shunzhi's face, I am afraid that the emperor will think that everything is planned by him afterwards, so in order to seize the position of the prince in advance, there is no room for change between father and son.

Eagerly, he didn't care about offending, he rushed forward and knelt down in front of Shunzhi, and pleaded: "Emperor Shengming, this is all those mages talking nonsense, wanting to take advantage of Ling Beile's matter to profit from it, so they opened their mouths." Ling Beile is inexplicably sick, he really doesn't know anything, it's none of his business, please don't blame him. It's ...... At a time when the world is in turmoil, the Seven Evil Saints are ...... He...... And to take revenge on Concubine Yun as the top priority, last time Ling Beile injured and broke his ankle, you also saw it. At this time, it is extremely unsafe to let him run out alone, so please ask the emperor to send a few more guards to chase him back in case of accidents. ”

Dolgon said unhappily: "Xiao Xuan, how did you talk to the emperor?"

Shunzhi remembered the last time Xuanshuang was lying on the bed, with several thick bandages wrapped around his ankles, and he was dying, and a trace of compassion passed through his heart. But when he remembered the controversy of the prince, he was really angry, and said: "Don't worry about him! Just tell him to go out and blow the cold wind and clear his head." The palace is heavily guarded, and there is no danger. I used to spoil him too much, and the Manchurian children fought on horseback for many years, and it was common for them to suffer minor injuries. Last time, he just broke a foot, and he pretended to be dead or alive in front of me, so pampered, how could he entrust him with big things in the future? And Concubine Yun, she usually disciplines her son strictly enough, but how can she still become such a virtuous character? She should also reflect on it. Provoked the demon of the Seven Evil Holy Monarchs, wasn't it a disaster caused by her own cleverness? I was the only one for her, so I ordered the palace to strengthen its defenses, and also informed the yamen in various towns to pay more attention, and even for this, I did not hesitate to lose a large number of elite teachers in the palace, which is also benevolent and righteous. ”
