The royal family reads her mind, and the cannon fodder daughter creates the Feihou Mansion

This time it was Ye Xuanqi's turn to be dumbfounded.

What did he just hear?

Emperor Qinglong was obviously desperate, but the Queen's eyes lit up with excitement when she heard it: "Yes, let Xuan Qi marry Yun Xi, and then we don't have to care about those false reputations."

The emperor and the empress both thought that they were too smart. Listening to them praising each other, Ye Xuanqi finally experienced the feeling of headache that Song Yunxi described.

"Father..."

Emperor Qinglong, who was interrupted by Ye Xuanqi, looked over unhappily, and heard him pour a bucket of cold water on his head: "If Yunxi knew what your father said, she would definitely overturn your Chongzheng Hall and never enter the palace again."

This quickly cooled down Emperor Qinglong's heated mind. He turned back to the Queen uncertainly and asked, "That girl has a wild temper. She can really do it, right?"

The queen was also very depressed, so her daughter-in-law was gone just like that?

What a joy.

Ye Xuanqi was really afraid that the two of them would continue to make blind calculations, so he said it directly: "Reputation is an illusory thing that Yun Xi doesn't care about at all, and if she wants to keep her reputation, no one can destroy it."

Emperor Qinglong was stunned for a moment, then looked at the queen again: "It seems to be true."

That girl is so evil, who can defeat her?

The queen also regained her senses. Xi girl was so pretty and capable, how could it be possible for her blind and stupid son to have the chance?

"Something happened!"

Ye Xuanke, who had been busy trying to get news outside the palace, rushed into Fengluan Palace: "I'm afraid Song Yunxi can't escape this time!"

The people of the capital originally went to the Wenyuan Marquis Mansion to watch the fun of Master Huicheng, but who knew that after the master performed a ritual, he pushed Song Yunxi to the forefront again.

It was heard that when Master Huicheng was performing a ritual, a strange sign appeared in the Imperial Master's Mansion. A flock of pitch-black crows flew into the Imperial Master's Mansion under the cover of night and completely surrounded Song Yunxi's boudoir.

What was even more terrifying was that the servants in the Imperial Master's Mansion saw with their own eyes an evil creature with a green face and fangs walking out of Song Yunxi's room. They were so scared that they fled the Imperial Master's Mansion that night regardless of everything.

As a result, rumors spread that Song Yunxi was not only an evil star but also possessed by an evil spirit, and the entire capital fell into panic and anxiety.

Until the third day after Master Huicheng performed the ritual, all the flowers and plants not only in Wenyuanhou Mansion but also in other mansions in the capital city withered overnight, and the fish in the lake and pond also floated to the surface without life.

What’s even more terrifying is that even ordinary people could not escape this fate.

For three days, the capital seemed to be occupied by evil spirits, and all the vitality was sucked away from everything.

Everyone in the capital believed that after all of this was sucked up, it would be their turn next.

The key that made them sure of this was that when Master Huicheng tried to exorcise the evil spirit, he was attacked and vomited blood and remained in a coma ever since.

If the imperial physician had not diagnosed that Master Huicheng still had a pulse, looking at his deathly pale face and lifeless appearance, one would have thought he had died.

Even a great monk like Master Huicheng is no match for that evil spirit, let alone ordinary people like them?

After this incident, everyone in the capital city's fear of evil spirits reached its peak. The people spontaneously gathered outside the Imperial Master's Mansion, demanding that Song Yunxi be burned to death to drive away the evil spirits.

As for the court, many ministers also petitioned Emperor Qinglong to get rid of Song Yunxi in order to ensure the stability of the country and the safety of the people.

The first one who couldn't stand it anymore was the old General Pingnan, but he was too old to lead the charge, so he winked at his son.

Fang Chengzhi understood and said, "Your Majesty, in my opinion, the so-called evil spirits are all nonsense. I have followed my father in the battlefield to kill the enemy since I was a child. If ghosts and gods really exist, I would have been haunted by the enemy soldiers who died at my hands and couldn't sleep at night."

This statement hit the heart of Emperor Qinglong, and when he was about to agree, Ning'an Marquis Shen Qiaoping stood up and said, "Deputy General Fang is wrong. The general was defending his country and killed the enemy who invaded our Jin'an Dynasty and killed our Jin'an people. They all deserved to die, so how can they be called wronged ghosts?"

"But Song Yunxi is different. Master Huicheng personally confirmed that she is a woman with an evil fate. Now she is possessed by an evil spirit and endangers the lives of the people in our capital. If this evil spirit is not eliminated, how can the people live and work in peace? How can the court comfort the people?"

Shen Qiaoping's impassioned speech attracted the agreement of most civil officials. Ye Xuanqi observed secretly and basically understood the general situation of the Sixth Prince's party.

"Cough cough..."

Master Zhu, who was considered the chief civil official in the court, coughed twice, and everyone's attention was drawn to him.

General Pingnan and Master Zhu have known each other for many years, so they have a tacit understanding. Seeing the old man like this, he knew that he had something to say, so he immediately offered the opportunity to speak up: "What do you think of this, Master Zhu?"

Emperor Qinglong immediately placed his hopes on Master Zhu: "Yes, yes, I wonder what Master thinks about this matter?"

Zhu Taifu said calmly: "It's just some exaggerated gossip. You all read the books of sages, but you brought these idle chats to the court to discuss. If the three countries surrounding the border knew about it, I'm afraid they would laugh at the incompetence of the civil officials of the Jin'an Dynasty."

As soon as Grand Tutor Zhu finished speaking, the civil officials who were named realized that they were all terrified and anxious for the emperor to order the execution of Song Yunxi, while the military generals in the hall were looking down on them with a ridiculous attitude of making a fuss and talking nonsense.

This made them, who had always been aloof and proud, and always laughed at the military generals behind their backs for being vulgar and not reading the books of sages, feel ashamed.

Seeing that Master Zhu easily turned the situation around, Shen Zhikang had to stand up and say, "Who in the capital doesn't know that Master Zhu was able to have a grandson thanks to Miss Song? It's only natural that Master Zhu should be grateful to her, but there's really no need to let all the people in the capital sink with her."

After Shen Zhikang's reminder, the ministers remembered that Song Yunxi had indeed done the Zhu family a favor, and that Taifu Zhu had even recognized Song Yunsun as his granddaughter, so he naturally sided with Song Yunxi.

So the hatred towards Song Yunxi that had just been suppressed surged up again.

The new Minister of Revenue, Yan Wenjie, looked at Ye Xuanqi to ask for his opinion, ready to engage in a debate at any time.

But Ye Xuanqi signaled him not to act rashly. After all, he had just taken office and it would not be easy for him to make too many enemies in the court.

Ye Xuanke could not listen any longer and sneered, "I didn't know that the officials of my Jin'an Dynasty were so afraid of a girl who had just come of age. This is not only embarrassing but also cowardly and shameless!"

Ye Xuanke always spoke his mind, and at this moment, he ignored the ministers' ugly faces and made a suggestion to Emperor Qinglong: "Father, in my opinion, in the future, the selection of officials cannot only rely on the imperial examinations and essays, but also need to add an assessment of courage."
