"What? Right here?" When everyone heard this, they stared with a pair of frightened eyes and couldn't help but look left and right, for fear that the evil spirit mentioned by the master was around them at this time, and one of them was accidentally kidnapped by him and drowned here. In the pool.

"Okay, everyone, don't be afraid. This is our way, and the evil spirit doesn't dare to cause trouble. Just now, the Water God told me that everyone in the house should stand along the edge of the lotus pond. After I cast the spell, the Water God will naturally That evil charm was caught in public. When the time comes, it will be difficult to disobey God's will, and I will kill him with one sword to protect the peace of the palace."

The master's eyelids were drooped, with a disdainful expression as if this is all a piece of cake and I'll get it as soon as I take action.

After everyone heard the master's arrangement, Monk Zhang Er was a little confused at first. You looked at me, I looked at you, and they were all stunned.

Seeing that everyone was still, Lan Qingruo called out, "You can just stand along the edge of the lotus pond as the master said." After saying that, she took the initiative to stand on the edge of the lotus pond first.

Under her guidance, everyone understood what the master meant and lined up along the lotus pond one by one.

Shen Xinyue waited to watch the show and didn't say much. She just watched Si Qi carefully and saw that she did as she said and sprinkled the contents of the bottle on Lan Qingruo's skirt while everyone was crowded. , and then left quietly.

Shen Xinyue felt relieved. The person Huo Weilou had found to serve her was indeed reliable.

Originally, she planned to do it herself, but the risk would naturally be higher, because Shen Xinyue knew that there might be those people's eyes and ears around her at any time.

But God helped her, Huo Weilou arranged for a maid to come over at the right time, and she could just take this opportunity to test this person's loyalty. At the moment, it seemed that Si Qi was not only loyal, but also had good hands-on skills.

Shen Xinyue breathed a sigh of relief. She felt that the person behind her took advantage of the chaos and deliberately rubbed her sleeves on the area where things were spilled. From the corner of her eye, she saw Lan Qingruo's eyes clearly looking towards her. When the light shines, there is a sense of expectation that the great work will be completed.

Shen Xinyue pretended to accidentally look at Lan Qingruo and gave her a knowing smile.

Let's wait and see who is watching whose show.

"The time has come." When the master saw everyone standing still, he shook the whisk in his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then began to circle around the altar table, mumbling words all the time. The scene was very strange.

In a moment, people suddenly noticed something moving in the lotus pond. They couldn't help but hold their breath and didn't dare to breathe out. They all wanted to see the water god appear and find out the evil spirit on the spot.

Lan Qingruo cast her eyes on Shen Xinyue imperceptibly, waiting to see the scene she had been looking forward to for a long time.

Between the lightning and flint, several slender objects suddenly jumped out of the lotus pond and rushed straight towards Lan Qingruo. Lan Qingruo was distracted, so she didn't expect it and couldn't react. She thought about it when she saw everyone's reaction. By the time he hid, it was already too late, as those slender things had already bitten him.

Lan Qingruo was immediately frightened and turned pale. She was so frightened that she could no longer care about the image of a wealthy lady and screamed loudly.

A bold person in the crowd wanted to comfort Lan Qingruo after seeing things clearly, "Madam, don't be afraid, they are just a few water snakes, it doesn't matter."

As she said that, she wanted to step forward and help her catch those snakes.

Lan Qingruo had been scared out of his wits, and his mind had gone blank. He had no time to think, so he shouted frantically, "What water snake? These are poisonous snakes, extremely poisonous snakes. Come and save me. You slave, hurry up." Help me catch them and beat them to death with sticks...ahhhh..."

When the man heard that it was a poisonous snake, he immediately exclaimed and did not dare to come forward. After all, in a person's subconscious, his own life is the most important.

People also looked at each other in shock, and the voices of discussion were endless: "Oh my god, how come there are poisonous snakes in the lotus pond of the princess? There are not just one or two."

"Yes, that's impossible. This lotus pond is the princess's favorite place. There are dedicated people cleaning and dredging it every year. Poisonous snakes are absolutely impossible."

…

"Master, don't be stunned. The water god in your mouth has appeared and caught the evil spirit causing trouble in this house. Please see how to solve it."

Under Shen Xinyue's reminder, the master who was dumbfounded on the spot remembered and quickly called the Taoist boy beside him to take out the snake-catching fork and snake-catching cage prepared in advance to catch the snakes that had almost entangled Lan Qingruo.

stand up.

Lan Qingruo had already collapsed on the ground, his face was ashen, he was so scared that he almost lost his mind, and kept muttering, "These are giant poisonous snakes. They have been hungry for many days. I, I, I

I'm going to die...I was bitten by a poisonous snake..."

"Oh, I didn't expect that the evil spirit that has been causing trouble in this mansion is actually Madam..." Someone in the crowd said in a very small voice, but it was enough for the people who were so frightened that they dared not speak to hear it.

It turns out that not all the people in this mansion are stupid, Shen Xinyue smiled and continued: "I never expected that this lady is working so hard, and the evil person causing trouble is actually you yourself.

"

"No! It's not me, no." Lan Qingruo, who was already messy in the wind, had tears and snot on her face, and shook her head at the master and the old princess, "Master, princess, you know, it's not me, it's not me

……help……"

It took the master a long time to control his expression, his eyes rolled back and forth, and he desperately wanted to excuse Lan Qingruo, but his confidence was very insufficient, "Yes, I know it is not Madam, this time..."

The master has been practicing for decades, but he has never experienced such a reversal before. It caught him off guard, and he cast his eyes into the distance.

In the crowd, Nanny Li next to the old princess shook her head at the master.

The master immediately understood and shook up the fly whisk again. His voice was much louder than before, "This time it was due to the possession of evil spirits, which blinded the madam's mind. The evil spirits used her to do strange things and bring trouble to the palace."

Lan Qingruo was a little sober at this time, and nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, it must be that damn evil spirit possessing her, which made Qingruo be blinded and start talking nonsense, buzzing, buzzing..."

After saying that, he cast a look at the old princess asking for help.

The old princess was expressionless and ignored Lan Qingruo. Instead, she asked the master, "Does the master have a way to solve it?"

The master shook his head, bowed his head and said, "Of course, this exists. I only need to surround the lady and recite the evil spell a few times, and the evil charm can be removed."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, let's take a look," the people each acted in their own way. They didn't notice that Shen Xinyue had already walked to the snake cage and used a snake fork to fork out a poisonous snake and showed it to everyone.

"Madam, has your mind been deceived? Master, you are really joking. I think our lady understands very well. These highly venomous snakes come from the Western Regions. Such rare things, Madam can just open her mouth and come."

"Knowing how powerful it is is not because your mind has been deceived, but because you foresaw it in advance."

The master was almost choked by Shen Xinyue's question. Fortunately, he had been wandering around the world for many years, so he still answered the question, "Madam is the daughter of the Taifu Mansion, one of the most talented women in the capital. It is reasonable for her to know these things." "

"Oh~" Shen Xinyue said "oh" and turned eight corners, "That lady is really one of the most talented women in the capital. She even knows all about these poisons after being starved for many days. It is really unusual. Come to think of it, isn't this? What kind of evil spirit is possessed, is there some guidance from the gods?!"

After a pause, he glared at the master with a sharp look, but his tone lost the ridicule and ridicule just now, and said seriously: "Master knows Madam so well, so he must be quite familiar with her. Since he is so familiar, why is Madam like this? I don’t even know if I’m possessed by an evil spirit, but I still want to catch ghosts here? Or was it that I originally wanted this evil spirit to find someone else, but there was a mistake in the process, and now I have to end it hastily?”

Shen Xinyue said these words in one breath. Even the old princess sighed secretly that she had met her opponent. She also understood that today was not a good time to deal with her. If she continued to be entangled like this, she was afraid that she would also get into trouble, so she He coughed twice and took the opportunity to speak, "Master, your cracking method must be able to remove the evil charm attached to Qingruo, but I don't know if it can completely restore the tranquility of my house?"

How shrewd the master was. When he heard what the old princess said, he immediately responded: "The old princess is wise. What I just said is indeed only to remove the evil charm attached to the madam. If you want to keep the peace of this house, the madam must be confined to the house." There are seven or forty-nine days in the Buddhist hall. During these seven and forty-nine days, Madam must eat fast and recite Buddha's name every day. She must do everything personally and cannot borrow any help from others before she can solve it. As long as there is something to be done If not, there is a danger of putting the entire palace in a state of eternal destruction."

"Okay, then according to the master's words, let's send Lan Qingruo to the Buddhist hall for punishment."

Hearing that the old princess had sealed her coffin, Lan Qingruo had no choice but to accept her fate and cried, "Qingruo is willing to accept the punishment. Please ask the princess to tell the doctor to detoxify Qingruo first. Qingruo doesn't want to die yet..."

The old princess nodded coldly and said nothing, beckoning to the nanny beside her to handle the remaining chores, and then left with the help of Nanny Li.

Everyone dispersed.

Si Qi also came to help Shen Xinyue walk back. On the way, Si Qi asked: "Can today's result be regarded as Miss Shen's heart?"

Shen Xinyue just smiled and said, "It doesn't matter whether you are satisfied or not. It's just that I was forced to do it as a last resort. I also want to deal with such criminals and get rid of them. Come on, after all, you still have the heart to forgive others."

Thinking that she had given medicine to remove the venom of those poisonous snakes last night, Shen Xinyue knew that she was still too soft-hearted after all.

Si Qi also sighed, "Yes, people who eat fast and worship Buddha every day may not have the heart of a Bodhisattva——"

Before he finished speaking, Shen Xinyue took over, "Not only do they not have the heart of a Bodhisattva, they also have the heart of a snake or a scorpion!"

If she hadn't been reminded by Huo Weilou to investigate the situation at night and accidentally discovered their conspiracy, it would have been Shen Xinyue who was bitten by a poisonous snake and died today.

"Si Qi, please help me throw away this dress when you go back." Shen Xinyue finally felt unhappy when she thought of the poisonous powder that Lan Qingruo's personal maid Zhu'er sprinkled on her skirt to attract venomous snakes.

It's night, everything is silent.

A sedan chair was quietly carried into the Buddhist hall far away from the various courtyards.

The accompanying nanny looked around, and when she saw that there was no movement at all, she opened the curtain of the sedan chair and helped the people out of the sedan chair. Taking advantage of the darkness, the two of them quickly walked into the Buddhist hall.

Lan Qingruo was sitting crookedly in the Buddhist hall with a pair of big eyes staring at him for the rest of his life, with an expression of despair.

Hearing the movement behind him, he looked back in horror. When he saw the person coming, he couldn't help but burst into tears, "Princess?"
