Five days later, Taoist Master Xuyun arrived in the capital with his two disciples. The Empress Dowager and the Queen respectfully welcomed Taoist Master Xuyun into the palace.

The queen told the Taoist priest everything about the emperor's illness.

"Is it really a soul coming here?" Taoist Master Xuyun asked with a frown.

"Yes, Taoist priest, the Emperor and Concubine Li saw it with their own eyes, and that's why the Emperor fell ill with fright," the Queen said quickly.

"If there really is a ghost that is lingering and coming to disturb you, I will perform a ritual for Your Majesty tomorrow night. The yin energy is the heaviest at night. If the wronged soul appears, it is the best time to subdue it. Your Majesty, please prepare the altar for the ritual immediately." Taoist Master Xuyun said.

When the Queen heard Taoist Master Xuyun say that he would perform a ritual to exorcise the soul the next day, she was naturally happy. The Emperor had been ill for nearly a month, and the court had been in chaos for a month. She and the Queen Mother were both women and could not govern the country, and the Prince was still young. If things continued like this, the Yuan Dynasty would be finished.

The queen quickly ordered the palace maids to serve the Taoist priests well, and she said goodbye to Taoist Xuyun and went to prepare for tomorrow's soul-exorcism ritual.

In the bamboo garden, Su Luoxue and Xuan Moyin stood together. Under the moonlight, their figures looked mysterious and beautiful.

"Starting tomorrow night?" Su Luoxue asked with a hint of doubt in her voice.

"Yes." Xuan Moyin nodded, his eyes deep and firm, as if he was ready for everything.

"Then let's go and see tomorrow night and meet Taoist Master Xuyun. I want to see if he is as powerful as you said!" There was a hint of provocation in Su Luoxue's tone. She seemed to be full of curiosity about Taoist Master Xuyun.

Xuan Moyin frowned slightly and said with some concern: "Then you better be careful, this Taoist Master Xuyun is really capable."

Su Luoxue smiled, a hint of confidence flashed in her eyes: "It doesn't matter, if we really encounter danger, we will enter the space. No matter how powerful he is, he will never think that I have such a secret place."

Xuan Moyin thought for a while, and finally nodded, indicating his agreement: "Okay."

At nightfall the next day, the outside of the Hall of Mental Cultivation was bright with flickering candlelight, illuminating the entire front yard of the palace. Opposite the entrance to the Hall of Mental Cultivation was a huge offering table filled with various offerings, such as fruits, cakes, and glutinous rice.

These offerings were carefully prepared according to the requirements of Taoist Master Xuyun. In addition, both sides of the altar were filled with colorful flags, fluttering in the wind, adding a touch of mystery.

In a circle outside the palace stood many guards with serious expressions. They held weapons in their hands and watched the movements around them vigilantly.

On the other side, there were two comfortable armchairs, on which sat two distinguished persons, the Empress Dowager and the Queen.

Behind the two ladies stood several palace maids and eunuchs, who served them quietly, not daring to make the slightest sound.

After waiting for a while, everyone finally saw Taoist Master Xuyun and his two disciples slowly approaching.

The three masters and apprentices were all dressed in Taoist robes, looking solemn and dignified. One of the apprentices held a peach wood sword in his hand, and the other apprentice held a wooden altar, carefully following the master. The three masters and apprentices walked steadily towards the altar.

When they walked to the altar, Taoist Master Xuyun first took out a token from his arms, on which were engraved four large characters: "Five Thunder Commands".

Then he began to chant an incantation, mumbling something in a low and solemn voice.

At the same time, he kept waving the token in his hand, as if guiding the spiritual energy between heaven and earth to gather here.

His two disciples followed closely behind him, sometimes waving the peach wood swords, sometimes striking the altar wood, coordinating with each other in perfect harmony.

Taoist Master Xu was mumbling some Taoist texts which no one could understand. Suddenly, he seemed to sense something and paused for a moment, but only for a moment. No one noticed it except his two disciples. Then he continued to recite the Taoist texts and perform rituals.

Then the Taoist priest took the peach wood sword from his disciple's hand, and continued to recite Taoist scriptures while waving the peach wood sword. He reached into the glutinous rice bowl on the altar, grabbed a handful of glutinous rice and scattered it around.

But suddenly, at this moment, a woman suddenly appeared on the wall opposite the altar in the Hall of Mental Cultivation.

The woman was crying with tears in her eyes: "Brother Prince, it's so cold down there, please come and keep me company! Brother Prince..."

The Queen Mother and the Empress recognized at a glance that the woman was none other than the former Crown Princess Su Qingrou.

"Ah! ... A ghost! ..."

The palace maids and eunuchs at the scene screamed in fear, and the Queen Mother and the Empress were so scared that they almost fell off the armchairs.

It was really Su Qingrou's soul. They had never seen it with their own eyes before, so they didn't know what the emperor looked like when he saw Su Qingrou's soul. It could scare the emperor so much that he has been sick for almost a month and has not recovered yet. Now they see that Su Qingrou's soul is as big as a real person and lifelike, and it is taking his life right in front of them. Who can bear this?

The guards standing guard around were also holding their weapons tightly and trembling, but they were ready to fight the ghosts at any time.

When Taoist Master Xuyun looked at this so-called ghost, he knew at a glance that it was fake, because he did not sense any yin energy or any breath on this soul, but he did not know where this soul that looked like a real person came from.

But the aura that he felt when he first started practicing was now feeling stronger and stronger.

He stopped and suddenly turned his head to look in the direction of Su Luoxue and the others. It was there that Taoist Master Xuyun was about to fly over to take a look, when suddenly, the aura disappeared. It was not the kind of slowly disappearing, but it suddenly disappeared, a process from existence to nothingness, disappearing in just an instant. Taoist Master Xuyun felt that he had really looked into someone's eyes just now, but it disappeared in an instant.

At this time, Su Luoxue was still beating her frightened little heart as the three people who had just entered the space.

This Taoist Master Xuyun was indeed quite capable. As soon as she projected the video, he noticed something and suddenly turned his head to look at her. Su Luoxue felt that he was already looking into her eyes, and his eyes seemed to see through everything.

She was so scared that she quickly took Xuan Moyin and An Yi back into the space.

"Princess, have we been discovered?" An Yi asked when he saw Su Luoxue looking a little panicked.

"I don't know, but I feel that the old Taoist priest saw me just now." Su Luoxue said.

Hearing Su Luoxue say this, Xuan Moyin narrowed his eyes. He didn't know whether Taoist Xuyun would do anything bad to Su Luoxue if he found out about it. But no matter who it was, as long as they dared to do anything bad to his Xue'er, he would do everything he could to get rid of them, even Taoist Xuyun, who was very skilled in Taoism.
