Chapter 234 Besieging the enemy
Author: Watermelon Peach Oolong Tea
I saw that the complexion of Yao, the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, instantly changed from white to green, and then from green to black. His limbs and torso could no longer maintain their original shape, and softened one after another, revealing their original shape.
But before the big slug showed its true form had time to make any move, the Soul Seizing Soil began to absorb its power unscrupulously, sucking it into a slug in an instant.
There was only a small pile of white-lighting soul-stealing soil left on the ground.
There were screams among the crowd, and everyone seemed to be frightened by this surprise.
"I can't believe that my head of the Internal Affairs Bureau, a person who can't manage human affairs, was actually corrupted by such evil spirits."
The emperor smiled jokingly at first, as if he was mocking himself, but then turned into a sneer and said: "Is there anyone willing to drink this second glass of wine?"
At this time, how could everyone not understand the Holy Spirit's intention, which was obviously to find out the evil spirits lurking around them through this special drink that could make the evil spirits give up their original form.
If you can take the initiative to stand up at this time and drink this second glass of wine, you will definitely leave a deep impression in front of the Holy Master.
So, from the beginning, no one dared to respond, and suddenly everyone started scrambling to take the lead.
But when everyone was rushing forward, a few people suddenly quietly stepped back. This was an act of self-inflicted violence.
Of course, with Lin Xixue lurking in the dark, they had no chance to escape.
She squeezed the soul-stealing soil into a pellet, flicked it with her finger, and accurately hit a few people who were slowly retreating. After a while, there were a few more shriveled slugs on the ground.
The crowd also began to talk about it.
"Isn't this Concubine Xia? I didn't expect that she is also an evil spirit lurking around me!"
"There is also Mr. Han. I just visited his house a few days ago. Now it seems that I am really blessed and blessed." A concubine held her heart in her hands and looked frightened.
After everyone present examined them one by one, seven slugs were found. Lin Xixue also received seven more handfuls of spiritual soil, but the emperor's face was extremely ugly.
He had never thought before that there were so many evil spirits lurking around him. He said in a deep voice: "Shi Aiqing!"
"The humble minister is here!" Shi Xueqian stepped forward to listen to the order.
"Have the four nobles and Concubine Yan who were not present drunk this drink?"
"Long live Qi Zun, I have sent the drinks to you ladies. Take them carefully. Everything is as usual."
"Okay, let's go to Gyeongbokgung Palace and I want to say hello to the Queen Mother."
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Yao has passed away, and there is currently no one to take charge of the affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs." A young eunuch who looked quite young stepped forward to speak.
The emperor glanced at the young eunuch, feeling unspeakable annoyance in his heart. He flicked his sleeves and said impatiently: "Then you will be in charge of the Ministry of Internal Affairs first."
The little eunuch was overjoyed, and immediately kowtowed his thanks, and then shouted in a drake voice: "Show me at Gyeongbokgung Palace!"
"And all of you, please disperse as well. You have all seen the current situation. The evil spirits are lurking deep. If there is no special reason, do not leave the palace at will. Otherwise, you will be contaminated by the evil spirits. Don't blame me for being merciless!"
All the concubines were naturally as silent as a cicada, not daring to say anything more, and nodded in agreement.
In Gyeongbokgung Palace, the emperor's hand holding the tea bowl trembled slightly. He was very afraid of what would happen to the Queen Mother after drinking this cup of tea.
After all, the person in front of him is the Empress Dowager of Yunzhou, but she is also his mother.
But now, he had to toast this cup of tea.
The Empress Dowager took the tea bowl with a smile, took a sip, and then frowned and said: "This is a tribute tea from somewhere. It has an earthy smell and is astringent on the tongue."
Hearing this complaint, the emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, he could still complain, which meant that his mother had not been corrupted by evil spirits.
He casually found a reason to put the matter aside, the two had a small talk and left again.
Lin Xixue, Shi Xueqian and the emperor returned to the imperial study to discuss the next step.
Although he successfully caught the evil spirit lurking around him, the emperor was in an extremely bad mood at the moment. He knew very well that if this arrogant little girl hadn't come to his aid this time, he would have been in trouble.
"Shi Aiqing, and this righteous man, the first step of this plan has been completed, what will happen next?"
However, Shi Xueqian didn't know what to do next. His greatest advantage was that he absolutely obeyed orders, but his disadvantage was that he could only follow orders.
When asked about this, he had no choice but to bow his hands and say: "I am a humble minister who is not good at strategy. Please give me your Majesty's Holy Judgment!"
Naturally, the emperor did not expect Shi Xueqian to come up with any nutritious strategies. This was entirely meant for Lin Xixue.
But Lin Xixue had no intention of paying attention to him at the moment. She leaned on the pillar of the hall, holding her chin in one hand and closing her eyes slightly.
She was thinking about a very important thing - where had the blood shadow that had been on Shi Xueqian gone?
This blood shadow is the condensed evil spirit. Lin Xixue originally thought that the evil spirit of Yan Mansion was to nourish this blood shadow, but she never saw where this blood shadow was hiding.
Where will it go?
It’s not in King Cheng’s garden, and it’s not in Yan’s Mansion, where the evil spirit is soaring into the sky. Where else can it be hidden?
If this thing is not removed as soon as possible, it will always be a huge hidden danger when fighting Yanyou.
"Ahem, this righteous man!" The emperor cleared his throat and called her again.
"Are you talking to me?" Lin Xixue tilted her head and blinked.
The emperor was completely tortured by her and lost his temper at this moment. Although his forehead was full of black lines, he surprisingly no longer felt angry. He just smiled and replied: "Haha, that's right. Isn't there only the three of us in this study?
.”
"My surname is Lin." Lin Xixue said with a hint of amusement on her lips.
"Then Miss Lin, how should we deal with the second and third steps?"
"I don't know, I forgot."
"Forgot? At such a critical moment, Miss Lin should stop joking with me."
"You forgot what you promised me before, so naturally I also forgot about the next plan." She raised her eyebrows, "Has the imperial edict for the Cheng family's redress been written yet?"
"Well, drafting a decree also takes time."
"I asked you to find out the origin of the Bafang Pan, preferably down to the kiln where it was fired. Have you found out?"
"I will let the Ministry of Internal Affairs"
"As for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, your head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has long been a slug and has lost his memory? Do you think the records written by the slug can be trusted?"
"I" the emperor was speechless by Lin Xixue. Although he was very unconvinced, he could not find any reason to refute.
"Write, write now. You personally write the edict to rehabilitate the Cheng family. When you finish writing, I will tell you the next plan."
"This kind of thing is usually drafted by the cabinet bachelor, and it's up to me."
"Now, write it down and give it to me. Do you not know how to write or how to speak?" Lin Xixue was not polite at all. She had to give the emperor some eye drops, otherwise this would be too forgetful.
The emperor had no choice but to write the imperial edict with a pen, stamp it with a jade seal, and hand it to Lin Xixue.
"I will keep this for my archives. You can write another one another day and tell the world."
"Are you still afraid that I won't deny it?"
"Yes, that's exactly it."
The emperor was choked by her again and could not speak. It was the first time in his life that he felt so aggrieved.
Lin Xixue put away the imperial edict, first looked outside the palace door, then suddenly turned around and said: "The core of the second and third steps is four words - the enemy must be guarded!"
