411 The Ominous Man

The Imperial Master came to the inner hall and raised his hands to salute through the bead curtain.

"Did the Imperial Master see any clues?" Emperor Qingming, who had come to Yuxiu Palace after the morning court, asked while sitting in his chair.

Concubine Jing, who was still leaning on the bed to nurse her fetus, stared closely at the Imperial Master behind the bead curtain, waiting for him to speak.

Just now she vaguely heard the word "ominous"...

Is there really something evil at work?

After the Imperial Master pondered for a moment, he said sternly: "Your Majesty, I am pregnant with a dragon heir. I'm afraid I won't be able to keep it this time."

"What?"

Emperor Qingming's face changed slightly.

Can't keep it?

Why could the Imperial Preceptor speak so confidently about something that even the Imperial Physician did not dare to assert?

And suddenly hearing this sentence, Concubine Jing's mind went blank for a moment, and she couldn't help but exclaimed in shock: "...How could it be!"

She turned pale and said quickly: "If there is really something ominous, the Imperial Master can just try to expel it... This child is clearly still in my womb, how can I not save it?!"

"This evil thing is extraordinary, and the young fetus is already weak in vitality and cannot withstand the erosion of the evil energy, so now it is too late..." The national master sighed slightly, "Now the poor Taoist can only try to transcend one

two."

Concubine Jing's eyes trembled: "That's nonsense... Who allowed you to transcend my child? You can't even expel an evil thing. I think you are simply a liar who deceives the public with your lies!"

Imperial Master: "..."

Don't tell me, I really asked you to say it right in a crooked way, that's all.

Emperor Qingming's tone was slightly cold: "My beloved concubine, please do not be rude to the Imperial Master."

Hearing this voice, Concubine Jing clutched her fingers tightly and managed to calm down for a moment or two. She said with tears in her eyes: "I just don't want to lose this child... Your Majesty, please ask the Imperial Master to think of a way, and there will definitely be a way."

of!"

"Master, is there really no remedy?" Emperor Qingming looked at the Taoist and asked with a slight frown.

He naturally valued the child in Concubine Jing's belly.

The issue of heirs has always been his biggest concern.

It is true that Concubine Rong gave birth to a healthy prince for him, but there was no precedent for princes to die in the palace before. A prince, especially one that was extremely hard to come by, was far from enough to make him feel at ease.

And Concubine Jing's current situation is even more familiar to him...

In the harem, there were at least three concubines who had the experience of being unable to preserve their fetuses in their early years.

Therefore, in the past few days, even if the imperial doctors did not say it explicitly and Concubine Jing insisted that she did not feel much discomfort, he had already roughly had a premonition and preparation in his mind.

But evil things are at work...

This was the first time he heard this statement.

The Imperial Master said: "Your Majesty is unaware of something. This evil thing is extremely violent. If it weren't for the fact that there was a dragon son in the Queen's belly and was protected by the dragon's energy, I might not be able to survive now."

Ryuko?

Caught off guard, Emperor Qingming felt a pang in his heart: "Did the Imperial Master see that there was a boy in the belly of his beloved concubine?"

The Taoist nodded lightly, with the right look of regret on his face.

"..."

Under such a huge gap between heaven and earth and a double blow, Concubine Jing, who had been unable to sleep for days and nights, could no longer hold on. Her lips trembled a few times and her eyes rolled back and she fainted.

Gong E exclaimed: "Empress!"

Emperor Qingming took a look, and there was no trace of nervousness or concern in his eyes: "Please ask the imperial doctor."

With that said, he stood up and left the inner hall.

"Master, please follow me to the side hall to speak -"

The Imperial Master lowered his eyes and followed Emperor Qingming into the side hall.

"I wonder what the evil thing mentioned by the Imperial Master is?" Emperor Qingming's tone could not tell whether he believed it or not. "I have never heard of such evil things in the palace before -"

"Your Majesty is the True Dragon Emperor, and the palace has been protected by purple energy for generations. It is indeed not a place where evil things breed." The Taoist said with certainty in his unpredictable tone: "Therefore, based on my judgment, this evil thing is

It came from outside the palace."

"Outside the palace?" Emperor Qingming frowned and thought.

"Exactly, Your Majesty might as well ask someone to inquire about when Concubine Jing left the palace for the last time and where she went."

"The last time my beloved concubine left the palace was to accompany me to the Spring Hunting Palace at Quanhe Palace..."

It was during her stay in the palace that she was diagnosed with pregnancy by the accompanying imperial physician.

"Quanhe Palace..." The Taoist thought for a moment and said: "I think the empress was probably invaded by evil spirits at that time. However, according to Pindao's inference, this evil thing was born from the water and clung to the body of strangers.

Only then can we avoid the trouble caused by water."

Born in water?

Clinging to strangers?

While Emperor Qingming was thinking, he heard the Taoist say slowly: "I had this suspicion a few days ago, so I set up an appearance formation in this hall. When I closed the formation today, I saw that the evil energy was scattered scattered, not the original body, or even..."

The Taoist's eyes were deep and dark, as if they were hiding endless mysteries, making people unconsciously believe his words. Emperor Qingming couldn't help but ask: "How even?"

"Even... even your Majesty's body has traces of being approached by this evil spirit."

Emperor Qingming's eyes suddenly changed.

Does he have it too?

"I would like to ask, Your Majesty, have you had difficulty sleeping at night recently, have you occasionally felt unwell, and have you often felt short of breath?"

Emperor Qingming nodded slightly with a complicated expression: "Occasionally there are some..."

In fact, it's not just occasional.

Even nightmares often haunt me at night.

He always thought that this was because King Yan came to Beijing. Could it be more than that?

"Therefore, I judge that this person who is haunted by evil spirits must be in the palace, and most likely he is someone close to His Majesty. For the sake of Your Majesty's dragon body, it is best to confirm the identity of this person as soon as possible."

"The people around me..." Emperor Qingming looked at the Taoist, with a flash of dark light in his eyes: "Does the Imperial Master have a way to find this person?"

"If this person is contaminated with such an ominous thing, it will definitely harm the people around him, or there may have been a precedent. Moreover, this evil thing was provoked from the water. I think this person has probably experienced a water disaster," the Taoist said seriously.

: "Your Majesty can follow these clues and have people investigate them one by one."

Emperor Qingming nodded: "I understand, I have troubled the Imperial Master to remind you."

The Imperial Preceptor could not guess what the emperor was thinking for the moment, but this did not prevent him from continuing to act calmly, and he never mentioned anything in a hurry. He only said: "This is a matter within the scope of a poor Taoist."

"I will order people to investigate carefully. If we find out who it is, will the Imperial Master be able to get rid of this evil thing?"

The Taoist thought thoughtfully: "It depends on the specific situation. If the evil thing has been haunted for a long time and has coexisted with people, it may be quite difficult to get rid of it..."

Emperor Qingming nodded as if thinking.



The next day, after the morning court, Emperor Qingming ordered Zhan Yunzhu to go to the imperial study room to discuss matters.

This was the normal situation after Zhan Yunzhu entered the Zhongshu Province. Many people in the court saw this in their eyes, and everyone knew that this Zhongshu Sheren who had saved the country was now highly valued by His Majesty.
