Chapter 242 His face is not as valuable as yours

Author: Yan Qianyan

"Didn't you check this painting before and say it's okay?"

What Young Master Mo brought to Su Shixia was the portrait of Concubine Shu and the Second Emperor's Son that had been hung in the Zhaoyun Palace's bedroom before, drawn by Emperor Dongling himself.

When Su Shixia hinted that he would show her the painting again, Mr. Mo was really surprised. However, seeing Su Shixia's firm attitude, he finally followed Su Shixia's wishes.

"The Holy One has said that this painting was painted by him, and the talisman in it was also used by him. If I say in front of him that there is something wrong with the painting or the talisman, it will not be a boring life.

?”

Afraid of being discovered by people outside, Su Shixia did not light the lamp at all. After taking the painting, he unfolded the scroll and laid it flat on the table.

"In the palace, I still have the awareness to talk to people and talk to ghosts."

Mr. Mo was speechless by what she said. He glanced at her with a strange expression. In the end, he didn't worry about it any more. He just lowered his eyes and looked at the painting and asked, "Listening to your tone, this painting actually has some meaning."

Problem?"

"Um."

Su Shixia didn't look at the front of the portrait at all, and directly placed the portrait with the back facing up.

Her eyes were always focused on the location of the two talismans.

Mr. Mo looked at her reaching out and groping for the charm with her fingertips, as if she was secretly sensing something, and he wisely did not disturb her.

It wasn't until Su Shixia took back his hand and sat down at the table again that he asked, "How was it? Did you find anything?"

"There is indeed something wrong with that talisman. It is not a good talisman."

Su Shixia said: "What I told you is too complicated and you probably won't understand it. Anyway... writing the horoscopes of deceased people on this kind of spell will not let their souls rest in peace at all. If people take it seriously

Being alive after death will only cause the soul to be tortured after death."

"Are you sure?"

Mr. Mo frowned, "Your Majesty ordered this talisman to be made. If it is really as you said, it is a talisman that harms people...and ghosts, doesn't it mean that the person who made the talisman is actually bold?"

You dare to deceive even the Holy One!"

After hearing Mr. Mo's words, Su Shixia pursed her lips and did not respond. She only raised her head slightly and stared at him deeply for a long time through the thin moonlight shining in from outside.

"You and the Holy Master really know each other, right? I'm not sure what the specific relationship is, but... you should trust him very much, right?"

Mr. Mo lowered his eyes and looked at Su Shixia.

The two people's eyes met, and after a moment of silence, Mr. Mo nodded slightly, which was regarded as admission.

Su Shixia sighed softly, "You haven't thought about it. Maybe the Holy One also knows the harm of this spell. Maybe he deliberately made such a spell..."

"Won't."

With these two words, Mr. Mo returned to the ground decisively.

"I dare not say anything else, but His Majesty has absolutely no ill intentions towards Concubine Shu and the Second Prince. If he really hated Concubine Shu and her son, after something happened to them, His Majesty would not be so angry that he would risk his own life and fight with him personally.

The West Qi Kingdom is at war."

"I believe in your judgment. You said there is something wrong with this charm and it will be harmful to the spirits of Concubine Shu and her son in heaven. I believe this. But I also believe that using such a charm on Concubine Shu and her son is definitely not His Majesty's original intention.

.”

Su Shixia couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly when she heard this. After a moment of pause, she also nodded.

"Okay, I don't know much about the royal family. Since you so firmly believe that the Holy One is a good person, I believe you too."

As she spoke, she rolled up the painting again and handed it to Mr. Mo, "Hang this painting back up again. Just pretend that I didn't find anything."

"As for the talisman, you can go tell His Majesty and ask him for details, or you can pretend not to know. Just make your own decision. Anyway, just don't involve me in it."

Mr. Mo frowned and looked at the scroll she handed over, but did not accept it for a while. After hesitating for a while, he said, "Can you think of a way to destroy those two talismans?"

Seeing that Su Shixia pursed her lips and didn't respond, he hurriedly added: "You don't have to do anything obvious, just...as long as you can ensure that the talisman will not be harmful to Concubine Shu and...the soul of the second prince in heaven."

That’s fine.”

"You also know Concubine Shu and the second prince?"

Su Shixia's tone was a little surprised. After all, the two of them had been dead for twenty years, and Mr. Mo looked young. Su Shixia originally thought that they would not have any friendship.

"Um."

Mr. Mo's voice was slightly dull.

"They...are kind to me."

"I am really just looking for trouble for myself."

Su Shixia muttered in a low voice, "It's obviously none of my business, but in the end I have to clean up the mess. What a big deal."

She complained, and her hands were not idle. She unfolded the back of the portrait again, took out a bottle of cinnabar from her sleeve, mixed it with the tea on the table, dipped it in with the tip of the pen, and carefully applied it to the two

Zhang talisman.

In order not to let anyone see any traces, Su Shixia was careful in her movements.

Because there was no candlelight in the room, Mr. Mo didn't see clearly what she was scribbling, so he saw Su Shixia put away the pen after working for a while.

"Okay."

She reached out and fanned the two talismans, "Just wait a moment until the cinnabar is completely dry."

"Because I can only modify it based on the original talisman, I can't change it into a positive talisman. It just destroys the original effect of the talisman."

Mr. Mo breathed a sigh of relief, nodded heavily and said, "That's enough, thank you!"

"It's rare to hear you thank me so formally."

Su Shixia smiled and said: "If you ask me to do such a favor on normal days, I will charge you money, but this time... considering that Concubine Shu and the second prince are related to Zhan'er, they are related to each other.

, I’ll give it to you free of charge.”

When Master Mo heard this, a smile flashed across his eyes.

"Isn't it just for Qin Yi's sake? Concubine Shu is his aunt, so isn't this relationship closer?"

Su Shixia curled her lips, "Qin Yi's face is of no use, to me his face is not as valuable as yours."

Mr. Mo's eyes flashed slightly, and his eyes looked a little deeper when he looked at Su Shixia.

Su Shixia kept staring at the painting on the table and didn't notice the subtle change in his expression.

When the traces on the charm were completely dry, she rolled up the scroll again and handed it to Mr. Mo, "I'll leave the rest to you."

"Help me guard the house tonight. I have to have a good rest. If my hunch is correct, tomorrow, His Majesty's birthday, will not be peaceful in this palace."
