At this moment, Xuan Bao was also in a dilemma. It was hard to say that this formation could attract evil spirits. If there was no evidence that it was related to Xiao Mingzhu, her mother might not believe it.
After a long silence, Xuan Bao and the old Taoist master discussed it before deciding: "Mother, do you believe what I said?"
"I believe it." Xiao Kexiao expressed his stance directly and forcefully, "No matter what Xuan Bao says, I believe it."
Princess Rouping also expressed her complete trust in Xuan Bao without hesitation, and Grandma Ying nodded solemnly.
"Mother, Qinseyuan has been manipulated."
Xuan Bao's words were shocking, and all three people present looked surprised.
Aunt Ying was startled: "It's impossible, Miss Qi, this servant is the steward of Qinse Courtyard. I don't dare to take things lightly, big or small, in this courtyard. I have to be careful in everything."
"Yes, Xuanbao, Auntie Ying is the person I trust most. She has been with me for decades. As for this yard, I have been living here since I got married to your father, and there has been nothing wrong with it in the past."
Xuan Bao frowned and waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't misunderstand, Aunt Ying, it's none of your business. Mother, don't deny it in a hurry. Just because there was no problem in Qinse Courtyard in the past doesn't mean it's fine now."
Xiao Kexiao vaguely guessed something in his heart, and he said hurriedly: "Oh, mother, Grandma Ying, don't be anxious, sit down and listen to Xuan Bao speak slowly."
Princess Rouping and Aunt Ying couldn't believe it when they heard that their Qinse Courtyard had been set up by someone with an intention.
"Today it's because the person behind the scenes activated the formation, evil spirits from all directions are gathering here." Xuan Bao said simply.
"Xuanbao, was the black energy outside just now evil energy?" Xiao Kexiao muttered, "I thought it was ghost energy."
"What will happen if you inhale evil energy?" Princess Rouping reacted quickly, "Someone wants to harm me."
The mother did not ask but affirmed. Xuanbao replied: "That's right. After inhaling the evil energy, you will feel like you are seriously ill. If you fail to force the evil energy out of the body, it will take ten days and a half to..."
"It's so disgusting. Who is so vicious?" Grandma Ying's face turned pale with anger.
"I don't know either." A sneer appeared on Xuan Bao's lips, "Mother, do you want to know the truth?"
No matter who it was, there weren't many people who dared to reach into the Qinse Courtyard and quietly set up formations under her nose. Princess Rouping was a little hesitant.
"Mother, is this the end of it?" Xiao Kexiao shouted dissatisfied, "Have you ever thought about what would happen if you let others succeed?"
Princess Rouping was shocked. Yes, what would be the consequences if she fell?
Xuan Bao smiled and took over: "Maybe mother can see what the result will be."
Thinking about it carefully, Princess Rouping's eyes widened. She could forgive the person who attacked her, but the purpose of the person who attacked her was definitely not just herself. Although she didn't know who it was, she still had children, and there was more than one.
Seven.
"Xuan Bao, tell me how we should cooperate with you." Looking at Princess Rouping's serious expression and her increasingly sharp eyes, Xiao Kexiao knew that her mother had made her decision.
"Come on, come on." Xuan Bao waved with his little hand, and four heads, including Grandma Ying, were squeezed together.
At the same time, in the west courtyard courtyard, Fang Rongru stood on the steps and looked up at the sky. Her face was full of fear, and her expression changed again and again. The servants in the courtyard were so frightened that they wanted to avoid 800 meters away, and even more people were waiting in front of them.
He lowered his head and didn't dare to make any noise.
Looking down at the shining evil-proof beads in her hand, Fang Rongru took a deep breath and turned around.
Half an hour later, Master Jingkong from Tianlong Temple passed by. Because he and his second wife, Fang Rongru, were old acquaintances and had come to the Hou Mansion many times to pray for blessings, he was invited to the West Cross Courtyard.
After Fang Rongru ordered all the irrelevant people to leave, Master Jingkong couldn't wait to ask: "Why did you activate the formation suddenly?"
"The formation is activated?" Fang Rongru bowed forward slightly and lowered her voice, "How did the master know?"
"I noticed that the evil spirits from all directions were gathering together, so I hurried down the mountain. When I entered the city, I found that all the evil spirits were flowing towards the Hou Mansion." Master Jingkong said with complaint in his tone, "Why didn't you say hello to me first?"
"Master Jingkong, I was not the one who activated the formation." Fang Rongru frowned, "I was just about to send someone to invite you, just to ask if it was you who activated the formation."
"What?" Master Jingkong stood up suddenly and turned pale, "It's not you, and it's not me."
"Yes, who could that be?" Fang Rongru looked anxious, "I have indeed been thinking about activating the formation recently, but I haven't had time to act yet."
"Heaven knows and earth knows that you know and I know." Master Jingkong asked, "Did you leak the news?"
Fang Rongru shook her head repeatedly: "Impossible, I haven't leaked a word in the past few years, or even mentioned it. I originally thought about Rouping slowly, slowly..."
Master Jingkong stroked his beard and said thoughtfully: "I also know what you are thinking. You are also a calm character."
"Is the problem on your side?" Fang Rongru asked.
"No." After saying this, Master Jingkong's movements suddenly froze, as if he remembered something.
Fang Rongru stared at Master Jingkong without saying anything. She saw that he was thinking hard and did not dare to interrupt his thoughts.
Suddenly, Master Jingkong's expression changed drastically, and his face also changed, but for a moment, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, obviously thinking of something.
"What's wrong?" Fang Rongru couldn't help but ask.
"Is it him? No, it's impossible, it's not him." Master Jingkong muttered to himself.
After taking a deep breath to stabilize his mind, Master Jingkong slowly whispered: "Who actually activated the formation? You can check this matter slowly. The most important thing at this moment is what do you want?"
After a moment of silence, Rongru gritted her teeth and said, "If you make a mistake, you will make a mistake. As for that person, you must find him out, otherwise I will feel uneasy."
"I won't come again in the future, so you can take care of yourself." Master Jingkong suddenly said.
Fang Rongru was a little panicked and lost control, grabbing Master Jingkong's sleeve: "Brother Tian, what do you mean by this? You don't care about me anymore?"
When he first heard the words "Brother Tian", Master Jingkong was in a trance for a moment. His real name was Xie Yuntian, and he was also a son of an official family. The Xie family and the Fang family were family friends. Back then, when he was still a teenager, he made an appointment with Fang Rongru.
In terms of marriage, if it hadn't been for that accident, he and she would have definitely been a couple.
After escaping the disaster, Xie Yuntian became a monk in Tianlong Temple with a clear Buddhist name. By chance, he was favored by the old monk, who taught him many skills from time to time.
Ten years ago, Master Jingkong came down the mountain and met Fang Rongru. He thought that his past was all gone, but he didn't expect that she would become a knot in his heart.
Perhaps out of guilt, Master Jingkong helped Fang Rongru once, and the first time led to the second, and the third time...
