My bad words were heard by all the civil and military officials in the court

"Don't come over here!"

"I won't be polite if you come over here again!"

Ye Shengxin leaned against the tightly closed door of the Marquis' Mansion, his eyes filled with fear. He held a long branch he had picked up and waved it at the ghost Cheng Yayun.

Trying to drive her away.

Cheng Yazhi's anger was still lingering in her heart, and she turned a blind eye to Ye Shengxin's threats.

The ghost body approached her little by little, watching Ye Shengxin's body covered with white frost in the night.

"Sister, beautiful sister, we have no grudges against each other, please let me go!"

The female ghost was disobedient, and Ye Shengxin was about to cry. She retracted the branch and hugged herself tightly with her arms.

He huddled into a ball at the door, wishing he could crawl into the ground immediately.

He didn't forget to leave himself a way to survive.

"I have never done anything harmful in my life, and I have never met you. There is no grudge or entanglement between us. I didn't mean to break into your house. Please let me go!"

"After I leave, I promise to burn incense and paper for you every day, so that you can live a rich and prosperous life in the underworld."

"There are also handsome paper figurines. I'll burn as many as you want..."

The female ghost was so close before his eyes that Ye Shengxin, shivering all over, no longer dared to open his eyes to look. With tears in his eyes, he negotiated for profit with Cheng Yayun.

Cheng Yayun looked at this cowardly young man with a pale face, pursed her lips, and said in a cold tone:

"Why did you break into this place so late at night?"

Ye Xingxin buried his head in his knees, his body trembling as he replied: "I... I don't know, I really don't know."

"do not know?"

Cheng Yayun thought Ye Shengxin was making fun of her, but when she thought of the emperor who was staying in the Marquis' Mansion and concerned about his safety, her eyes immediately darkened.

Cold fingers fell on Ye Shengxin's shoulder. Just as he was about to bring the man in for interrogation, his hand suddenly went limp.

Ye Xingxin was so frightened by her that she fainted.

Cheng Yayun: “…”

"Are you so useless and cowardly?"

"Madam, Madam, you can't do that!" The old housekeeper, who finally figured out that the ghost was the returning marquis's wife, hurriedly chased after her, both happy and frightened.

The moment he saw Ye Xingxin's face, he thought something had happened to her. He slapped his thigh and said sadly:

"Madam, this is Lord Ye Xingxin, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, and the benefactor of our mansion!"

Cheng Yayun: “!!!”

Cheng Yayun looked at the thin, pale-faced young man lying on the ground, ignoring the tears on her face, and thought about what she had just said.

His eyes turned, and when he saw the old housekeeper's regretful look, he praised:

"This man has a straight face, a clean record, and acts loyally and bravely. He is a man of integrity!"

"The Marquis' Mansion has received great kindness from her. Although I haven't been home for more than ten years, I still have the ability to judge people. How could I hurt my benefactor? You are too suspicious, housekeeper."

System: [This ghost... is capricious! ]

After holding it in for a long time, it uttered these words.

The old butler looked at Ye Shengxin, who was lying unconscious on the ground, then looked at Cheng Yayun, who appeared in vain, and the expression of regret on his face gradually faded.

With mixed feelings and helplessness, he said, "Madam is right."

Knowing that the housekeeper didn't believe it, Cheng Yayun was embarrassed: "... then... saving my benefactor is the most important thing, so please ask the housekeeper to call the palace doctor as soon as possible."

-

"Father, Lord Ye hasn't woken up yet."

The prince came out of the room and looked at his father and the marquis' wife sitting opposite each other in the yard, and said this with a sigh.

Cheng Yayun, who had just learned the whole story from Emperor Jingming, looked inside the house with a hint of shame upon hearing this.

At the same time, she secretly resented Emperor Jingming for not telling her the whole truth before.

What should we do now that she has frightened the Marquis's Mansion and her benefactor into this state?

Cheng Yayun was very conflicted, but Emperor Jingming didn't care.

At the same time, it threw her a question that might make her more entangled.

"Will Madam Hou stay in the world of the living for a long time in the future?"

Speaking of this, Cheng Yayun's face became serious: "Your Majesty, I don't feel rejected by the world of the living."

"It's okay to stay in the world of the living for a long time."

The prince was a little curious: "Is the Marquis afraid of sunlight? Can she go out for a walk during the day?"

It is said in the storybooks that ghosts are afraid of the scorching sun, and now we can verify it.

Cheng Yayun hesitated: "Perhaps, but I will have to wait until dawn to know the specific situation."

"Madam Hou has the opportunity to meet Lord Rong again. Have you ever thought about telling the servants in the mansion the reason?"

Emperor Jingming tapped the table with his fingertips and asked from the heart.

"When the news spreads to the capital and the people of the world, will Madam be able to deal with it?"

Emperor Jingming felt a slight headache as he spoke.

The matter of ghosts was originally a horror rumor among the people, but now the rumor has come true. If the Marquis's wife wants to stay in the Marquis Pingqing's Mansion for a long time, she must give an explanation to the people of the world.

Otherwise, if the matter was taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives, he was not sure whether he could protect Pingqing Hou's family during the campaign.

If she cannot protect him, then with the Marquis's current abilities, her return may not be a good thing.

Cheng Yayun, with her exquisite mind, naturally understood what Emperor Jingming had not finished saying.

While the court physician was treating Lord Ye, she felt guilty but also thought of a way to deal with the matter.

If it works, it will be a small reward for her benefactor.

She looked at the serious-looking Emperor Jingming, stood up, and bowed:

"Your Majesty, I have a way that may prevent this matter from happening, or even prevent the thousands of strange things that may happen to Lord Ye in the future."

Emperor Jingming's eyes fixed with interest: "Tell me about it."

"Your Majesty, our Zhou Kingdom has not yet had a national teacher who is able to pray for the wind and rain. With everything that happened to Lady Ye Shengxin, do you think she can be the national teacher?"

The prince raised his eyebrows and said in a delighted tone: "Father, I think this is feasible."

Emperor Jingming said nothing, his brows furrowed and then relaxed.

After a while, he expressed his concerns: "The prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture is connected to all officials and the people. No one is more suitable for this position than Ye Shengxin."

"Besides, she has only been in office for one day and has been in the court for less than three months. If she is transferred to become the Imperial Master, the officials who know the inside story may not object, but the people..."

"Ye Xingxin's abilities cannot be disclosed to the public, including herself."

Emperor Jingming pointed out the most important point.

Cheng Yayun naturally considered this and she smiled.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. I am not asking Lord Ye to personally serve as the Imperial Master."

"As long as the officials in the court know who the national teacher is, and as long as the people of Zhou know that they have a national teacher who rarely shows up, is mysterious and has extraordinary abilities, then all the magical powers of Lord Ye will be explained."

"The problems of this subject can naturally be solved."

"And establishing the position of national teacher will surely be of great benefit in protecting the country and maintaining peace."

The more Cheng Yazhi spoke, the brighter the prince's eyes became. He wanted to agree on the spot, but he still knew his limits.

It is understood that Emperor Jingming still has to make the decision on this matter.

"Father, how do you feel?" His voice inevitably carried a hint of urgency and urging.

Emperor Jingming glanced at the impatient Crown Prince, and a smile gradually appeared on his tense face. He slapped the table and said:

“This method is very good!”

Cheng Yayun smiled and did not forget to get some benefits for Ye Shengxin.

"Your Majesty, it is a pity that Lord Ye cannot take up the position of Imperial Master himself. The salary that belongs to the Imperial Master..."

Emperor Jingming knew that Cheng Yayun was making up for her benefactor, so he was not stingy.

"I will treat the Imperial Master's salary as a reward and give it to Ye Xingxin along with the Jingzhao Yin's salary every month."

Cheng Yayun felt relieved.

"Your Majesty is wise."
