Regent, the princess you found is a treasure

The Duke and his men were helpless in dealing with the thefts in the warehouses of many ministers' mansions. The Jingzhao Prefecture was also unable to solve the case. The other mansions could only keep a closer eye on their homes. Some families even buried the silver in the warehouse under the floor of their own inner rooms.

In the palace, Xuan Haotian also gave the Queen Mother and the Empress a headache.

"Come, Hao'er, drink this medicine." The Queen Mother said to Xuan Haotian as if coaxing a child.

Since the death of the late emperor, the late queen became the empress dowager. She has been living in seclusion and recuperating in the Kunning Palace.

The Queen Mother knew that Xuan Haotian killed Prince Zhao and convicted Xuan Moyin and Su Luoxue. She had tried to persuade her son to do this, but Xuan Haotian simply wouldn't listen. The Queen Mother was too lazy to care anymore and just focused on practicing Buddhism.

When they heard that Xuan Haotian had been ill for several days and had not yet recovered, they asked Eunuch Wang and found out that it was Su Qingrou's soul that came to visit him. Not only the emperor saw it, but Concubine Li also saw it. It was very clear and lifelike, just like a real person, crying to Xuan Haotian in front of the bed.

The Queen Mother naturally did not believe in these ghost stories. The imperial palace had always been unclean, and there were countless concubines and palace maids who had died unjustly. If there really were ghosts, how could the people living in this palace live in peace?

But she asked Concubine Li to question her, and Concubine Li was also frightened and sick, and kept repeating: "It's none of my business, don't look for me."

Apart from this sentence, there is nothing else to say.

Seeing Concubine Li like this, the Queen Mother had no choice but to have Concubine Li taken back and taken good care of her.

Looking at her own son now, the Queen Mother sighed inwardly.

The Queen stood aside holding a bowl of medicine, and the new head of the Imperial Medical Bureau also stood aside, waiting for the Queen Mother to give orders at any time.

Xuan Haotian seemed not to have heard what the Queen Mother said, and he was still staring at the top of the curtain with empty eyes.

The Queen Mother looked at the head of the hospital and asked, "Your Majesty has been taking this medicine for a few days, why is it not getting better?"

When the head of the hospital heard the Queen Mother speak, he quickly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, this is a shock, not a physical illness. This medicine can only relieve your Majesty's mental tension, but it cannot cure your mental stimulation."

"So there is no other way?" The Queen Mother said to the Head of the Court with some anger.

The poor head of the courtyard could only kneel on the ground and whispered: "Queen Mother, I'm sorry that I can't do anything."

"I can't do anything, I can't do anything. What's the point of keeping your Imperial Medical Bureau?" The Queen Mother got angry when she heard the head of the hospital say this.

Perhaps the Queen Mother was too excited and her voice was a little loud. Xuan Haotian had been staring at the top of the curtain, but suddenly he turned his head and saw the Queen Mother standing next to the Queen Mother.

"Don't come over here. I didn't kill you. Don't look for me." Xuan Haotian suddenly shouted uncontrollably at the queen.

The queen was frightened by Xuan Haotian and almost knocked over the medicine in her hand.

"Hao'er, this is your queen, your queen!" She quickly comforted Xuan Haotian and said to him.

"No, she is Su Qingrou, mother, she is Su Qingrou. She asked me to accompany her, but I don't want to go!" Xuan Haotian said, and suddenly jumped up from the bed and grabbed Su Qingrou.

The queen was so frightened that she took several steps back and the medicine in her hand fell to the ground.

Eunuch Wang, who was standing by and serving, was quick-witted and hugged Xuan Haotian from behind, allowing the queen to escape.

Seeing this, the Queen Mother ordered several young eunuchs to press Xuan Haotian down on the bed. Xuan Haotian was exhausted from all the tossing and turning, and fell asleep soon after lying down.

The queen was also supported by the palace maids serving behind her, and she didn't care about her clothes that were stained by the potion.

"Mother,..." The Queen called to the Queen Mother, as if she wanted to say something?

The Queen Mother ignored the Queen and asked the Head of the Court again, "Is there really nothing you can do?"

The head of the courtyard trembled and kowtowed, saying: "I am incompetent, please forgive me, Queen Mother!"

"Mother, I do have an idea. Should I tell you?" the Queen called out again.

"What time is it now? Tell me!" The Queen Mother looked at the Queen and said.

"Mother, since the emperor is frightened like this because of Su Qingrou's lingering ghost, why don't we invite a few Taoist priests to perform a ritual to drive away Su Qingrou's ghost? Maybe the emperor's illness will be cured." said the queen.

In the palace, inviting Taoist priests to perform rituals to dispel demons and monsters has always been strictly prohibited. However, now the Imperial Medical Bureau cannot be relied upon, and the empress dowager has no better idea.

"Alas!" The Queen Mother sighed heavily and said, "Queen, you just take care of it!"

Seeing that Xuan Haotian had fallen asleep and the empress dowager was tired from all the work, she got up and returned to Kunning Palace.

Naturally, Xuan Moyin could not hide the fact that the palace wanted to invite a Taoist priest to perform a ritual.

He received a tip that the Queen had already sent someone to Mount Wutai to invite Taoist Master Xuyun to the palace to exorcise the Emperor's soul.

During dinner, Xuan Moyin told Su Luoxue the news.

"Go to Mount Wutai to invite a Taoist priest?" Su Luoxue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing a half-smile, and laughed softly: "If that's the case, should I give them something more exciting?"

There was a sly glint in her eyes, as if she was thinking of some interesting plan.

"They invited Taoist Master Xuyun!" Xuan Moyin reminded in a serious tone.

"Master Xuyun?" Su Luoxue couldn't help but feel a little curious when she heard the name. She noticed that Xuan Moyin specifically mentioned this Taoist priest, so she asked in confusion, "Is there anything special about him?"

"This Taoist priest Xuyun is said to be over 120 years old. He has profound Taoist knowledge and a deep understanding of heaven and earth. He doesn't care about worldly matters and is a reclusive Taoist priest," Xuan Moyin explained.

His voice was low and mysterious, making people feel awe for Taoist Master Xuyun.

However, Su Luoxue disagreed. She snorted and said disdainfully, "If that's what you said, then why was she invited by the Queen?"

"I don't know about that." Xuan Moyin shook his head helplessly, indicating that he could not explain the reason.

They didn't know that when Su Luoxue's soul just came through, Taoist Xuyun who was far away in Mount Wutai noticed something unusual.

At that time, in the direction of the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, a dazzling purple light suddenly rose. Ordinary people naturally could not perceive it, but for Taoist Master Xuyun, who was about to become an immortal, this light was clearly visible.

He was puzzled, wondering why such light appeared here, and he had a feeling that something must have happened.

At that time, he wanted to go down the mountain to check it out, but the next day was the day he would go into seclusion, so he had no choice but to give up the idea.

The retreat lasted for more than a year. Taoist Xuyun had just come out of seclusion when he saw the purple light still flashing in the direction of the capital of the Yuan Dynasty.

At this time, the apprentice came to report that the Queen Mother and the Empress of the Yuan Dynasty royal family had sent an invitation, inviting him to enter the palace to cast a spell for the emperor and exorcise the wronged spirits.

Originally, Taoist Master Xuyun would never agree to such a thing. However, when he thought of the mysterious purple light, he decided to go there in person to see what was going on, so he accepted the invitation.
