Chapter 368 Everyone has their own agenda
Concubine Li hated Ji Yuntang to death, and when she heard this, she couldn't help but interrupt.
"If she wasn't a fox demon, how could she have so many things?"
"I won't talk about anything else. Just talking about her medical skills, Your Majesty, do you think this is the ability that a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl should have?"
The Queen narrowed her eyes and glanced at her quietly, "Sister Lipin, what you said is really interesting. Princess Ye knows medicine, isn't she saving people? When has she ever harmed anyone?"
"I have to say something unpleasant. If it weren't for her, the Night King would have passed away by now. You don't thank the Night King's Concubine for saving your son, but you make things difficult for her. What on earth are you thinking, Lipin sister?"
There was a flash of panic in Concubine Li's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure.
She knelt on the ground and wiped away her tears. "Your Majesty, please understand. I am also afraid that there are people with bad intentions hiding around my son and harming him."
"After all, you all know that He'er had already married four princesses before Ji Yuntang entered the palace. When those women saw He'er's appearance, none of them was not afraid. I, your concubine..."
Before she could finish her words, she was interrupted by Emperor Jingyang, "Enough! Is this the place for you to mess around?"
He was afraid that if he continued talking, others would say that his father had treated Luo Junhe badly!
Emperor Jingyang felt guilty towards Luo Junhe, so naturally he didn't want to hear the Queen mention his name in front of him.
The queen glanced at Emperor Jingyang coldly and said nothing more.
Lipin felt relieved.
God knows how nervous she was just now, afraid that she would let the cat out of the bag if she said one wrong word.
But I have to say that the old witch, the Queen, seems to have noticed something!
She had been polite to her before, but today she turned against her in front of so many people.
It would be a lie for Concubine Li to say that she wasn't angry, but at the same time she realized that some things had to be put on the agenda!
She sat back in her seat and glanced at Luo Jingshen cautiously.
I found him sitting there, talking to Ji Nanchuan, and both of them had happy expressions on their faces.
Lipin knew that Luo Jingshen was planning to marry Ji Qingqing. Although she looked down on Ji Qingqing in her heart and thought she was stupid and dumb.
But he also knew that this was the most suitable candidate for Luo Jingshen at the moment.
Luo Qianxue can't help much now, so Luo Jingshen must win over the power of Yongning Marquis Mansion.
Not to mention, there are so many women in his East Palace.
No one else might be willing to marry Luo Jingshen.
Ji Yuntang didn't take Lipin's little trick seriously. She took a few steps forward and kicked the chattering Taoist priest to the ground.
"Your Majesty, this person is so bold that he actually set fire to the palace. How should we deal with him?"
Emperor Jingyang: "..."
Emperor Jingyang: "!!!"
He seemed to have not expected Ji Yuntang to turn the tables, and angrily asked: "Weren't you the one who set the fire in the palace?"
"So many people saw you chasing Taoist Master Yuqing with the talisman paper and burning it, and you almost hurt other people."
"Princess Ye, you are so brave!"
Ji Yuntang smiled slightly, "He said that I was a fox demon and wanted to burn me to death. Then, Your Majesty, have you ever thought about why this talisman paper would spontaneously combust in my hand?"
Ji Yuntang's question stumped Emperor Jingyang, because he had never thought about it in this regard.
"Let me tell His Majesty the answer!"
Ji Yuntang picked up a piece of talisman paper and held it between his fingers.
"Because this talisman paper is smeared with scale powder, so it will spontaneously combust."
"As for why the compass in the Taoist's hand is pointing to me?"
"It's because he tampered with the compass and added mercury into the needle. Mercury is colorless and odorless. Adding it will increase the weight of the needle. It can point to whoever you want it to point to."
Taoist Master Yuqing was shocked when he heard her words. He reached to his waist and found that the cloth bag on his body was gone!
And that compass is now in Ji Yuntang's hand.
He watched the compass turn several times, and then the needle pointed at him accurately.
At this time, someone asked, "Where did the crows in the sky come from? They couldn't have been summoned by humans, right?"
Ji Yuntang snapped his fingers, "Congratulations, you guessed it right!"
"He has eel blood in his bag. Eel blood has a strong smell. If you add a little animal attractant powder, you can attract crows."
"Similarly, a little animal repellent powder can drive away the crows."
Ji Yuntang threw the talisman paper in his hand into the air. As the talisman paper spontaneously combusted, a strange fragrance emanated from it.
The flocks of crows scattered instantly.
After seeing this, everyone suddenly understood.
Xie Jinrong stood up and shouted angrily: "I didn't expect that this Taoist priest Yuqing was actually a liar. He even came to the palace to commit fraud. If the emperor doesn't bring him to justice today, it will not be enough to appease the anger in my heart."
Taoist Master Yuqing was so frightened that he fell to his knees. His body was shaking like a sieve, but his eyes unconsciously looked towards Ji Nanchuan.
Ji Nanchuan quickly turned his head away. In his heart, he cursed Taoist Yuqing for being a fool, as his actions were full of loopholes.
If we give him away, we'll be finished!
Emperor Jingyang looked very unhappy. He felt like he was being teased and was a little disappointed.
He trusted Taoist Yuqing so much, but he didn't expect that the other party was played like a dog by Ji Yuntang.
"Come here, take this Taoist priest out and chop him up!"
When Taoist Master Yuqing heard that Emperor Jingyang wanted to kill him, he became anxious and said, "Your Majesty, please spare my life. I will never..."
Before he could finish his words, his pupils suddenly dilated, he grabbed his throat, and began to roll on the ground.
Before everyone could react to the sudden change, they saw Taoist Master Yuqing falling to the ground, spitting blood.
Eunuch Zhang stepped forward to sniff and report: "Your Majesty, Taoist Master Yuqing is dead!"
Emperor Jingyang's face turned pale. At this moment, he vaguely felt that this was a conspiracy.
Some people knew that he believed in Taoism and wanted to use him to kill Ji Yuntang.
The truth was exposed, so they killed him to silence him!
Emperor Jingyang knew very well how many enemies Ji Yuntang had.
Apart from the people outside, there were countless people in the palace who wanted to kill her.
Especially the Crown Prince, Concubine Li and Luo Qianxue, which one of them didn't hate her to the core?
No matter which of them did it, the matter cannot be investigated further.
Once the investigation is carried out, the royal family will lose face!
Not to mention, Ji Yuntang is still the crown prince and has made great contributions.
If he doesn't handle it well, others will only think that he, as an emperor, is unfair.
Emperor Jingyang thought of this and ordered: "Take Taoist Priest Yuqing's body out and throw it into the mass grave."
"No one is allowed to spread what happened today, or I will kill you without mercy."
