The Crown Princess calculated with her fingers and the prince was terrified.
Chapter 99 Death Situation
No sooner had the Emperor finished speaking than two people entered the main hall.
Jiang Xianyue had expected Huo Rujing to come.
After all, this matter was initially intended to help Huo Rujing.
No one can truly understand these mystical and divination matters, and Huo Rujing's presence would likely be of no use.
It was quite a rare occurrence that Prime Minister Su also came.
After all, Prime Minister Su was a figure second only to the Emperor in the Duan Dynasty, and the Emperor also respected him to some extent.
"Why has the Prime Minister come?"
The Emperor waved his hand.
"Give me a seat!"
It's important to know that Prime Minister Su has earned his current position through his own merits.
After expressing his gratitude, Prime Minister Su politely declined the offer.
"Your Majesty, I have come here in person to seek justice."
This is a testimony, the statement of my current first wife, Liu Yan. The content is clear: she was still my original wife, and she even asked someone from the Star Palace for a spell to transfer the misfortune of her daughter Su Ying being possessed by an evil spirit to my eldest daughter, Su Rou.
As a result, Su Rou was murdered the day before her wedding.
Prime Minister Su presented his confession.
When Su Rou was mentioned, Huo Rujing knelt down.
"I have known Miss Su Rou for many years, and we have been together for a long time. However, my wife was murdered on the eve of our wedding. It was only after I asked Miss Jiang for help that my wife was able to rest in peace."
Huo Rujing spoke with tears streaming down her face.
One man had lost his daughter, and the other had lost his wife.
This incident brought the emperor back to his senses.
"Nonsense, does Jiang Xuan Yue have that much ability?"
General Lu clearly did not believe it.
"General Lu, I have two daughters, one married into the Huo family and the other into your Lu family. I don't believe you, General Lu, are unaware of Su Ying's background. If this identity continues to be investigated, it's unknown whether the death of my first wife is related to you. Are you sure you want to continue opposing me?"
Prime Minister Su's words were firm and powerful.
There was no way for him to pursue this matter further.
Saying it out loud is just to scare the opponent.
Seeing that General Lu remained silent, Prime Minister Su looked at the Grand Preceptor again.
"Grand Master, I have always respected you, but Liu Yan mentioned that her family members were connected to the Star Palace sorcerers and that they secretly devised a vicious method to kill my eldest daughter. Does the Star Palace have to give an explanation for this?"
Upon hearing this, the Grand Master fell silent.
Finally, Prime Minister Su looked at Shen Qinglan.
"Second Prince, I have investigated and found that Liu Yan's maternal family has intricate connections with the Imperial Concubine. Are you aware of this matter?"
Before this matter was exposed, Benxiang believed that Liu Yan could manage the inner quarters well, so much so that everything in the inner quarters was done according to her arrangements, and he even believed her sweet words when his own daughter was murdered without explanation.
Although the Second Prince did not try to win me over, my wife is one of your people. What connection could there be?
Jiang Xianyue exclaimed in admiration, "This Prime Minister Su's fighting prowess is truly remarkable."
Jiang Xianyue pondered for a moment, then looked at the group of people.
"What's wrong? Why aren't you saying anything?"
Jiang Xianyue's tone carried a hint of smugness, after all, the matter was resolved.
At this moment, a servant from the Lu family came to report and whispered a few words in General Lu's ear.
"Your Majesty, my messenger reports that the soldiers who marched into Liang Kingdom all disappeared in the mountains."
General Lu's words clearly drew all attention to Jiang Xian Yue's matter, making it no longer important.
The emperor's face darkened, and he slammed his fist on the table again.
"What? Those are several thousand elite troops."
The Grand Master calculated with his fingers.
"There are many sorcerers in Liang, and it is likely that evil spirits are at work."
"Grand Preceptor, I order you to go and handle this matter immediately."
This was originally an opportunity for Xinggong to make a name for himself, but the Grand Preceptor looked at Jiang Xianyue instead.
"I remember that Miss Jiang said she understands metaphysics and numerology and can solve such a mysterious problem as General Huo's wife. Dealing with this mere evil magic should be a piece of cake for her."
The matters of metaphysics and divination cannot be proven; one can only judge a person's ability by whether they can solve problems.
"Is that right, Miss Jiang?"
The Grand Master has dug a huge pit.
At this moment, Shen Shijing stepped forward and helped Jiang Xianyue.
Jiang Xian Yue had just tried to test the Emperor's spell, but she had already used up all her magic power, and her breathing became heavier.
Since returning from Liuzhou, Jiang Xianyue's spiritual energy has been abundant, something she hasn't shown in a long time.
"Is Miss Jiang feeling unwell, or is she trying to feign illness?"
The Grand Master frowned, looking at Jiang Xian Yue with a tone full of inquiry.
Jiang Xianyue forced a smile.
"I caught a chill last night, it's just a minor issue. Since the Grand Preceptor has said so, I'll agree to this matter. However, if I can resolve this matter, will the Star Palace give Prime Minister Su an explanation?"
Why would someone from the Star Palace use insidious curses? Why would someone from the Star Palace refuse General Huo's help, almost preventing Miss Su Rou from being reincarnated?
Your Majesty, this Star Palace is the largest gathering place for sorcerers in the Duan Dynasty. All the capable people in the Duan Dynasty are in the Star Palace. It is likely that the purpose of establishing the Star Palace was to solve difficult problems.
If they cannot serve officials and the people, and instead harm others, then the existence of the Star Palace is irrelevant.
Since the emperor ascended the throne, he has attached great importance to the Star Palace.
No one expected Jiang Xianyue to bring up this topic.
Even Prime Minister Su wouldn't dare to do that.
Moreover, Jiang Xianyue's every word seemed to imply that if this matter were resolved, the Star Palace would no longer be necessary.
Even the emperor dared not answer these questions.
Jiang Xianyue's expression remained unchanged, perfectly calm.
Jiang Xianyue seemed completely unconcerned, looking at the Grand Preceptor.
"Good, you little girl can solve this big problem, which proves you are capable. You can cleanse everyone in the Star Palace."
If you feel there's a problem, you can always investigate and have a blood transfusion done. How about that?
Jiang Xianyue nodded.
"Very good."
Jiang Xianyue forced herself to look at General Lu.
"General Lu, please take me there."
General Lu's face turned pale.
"Why should General Lu lead the way? Isn't Miss Jiang supported by General Huo? If the Lu family army goes, wouldn't that be suspected of cheating?"
"Father, I urge you to allow General Huo to go with Miss Jiang."
This is clearly a trap.
But Jiang Xianyue looked at Huo Rujing and nodded.
They wanted to kill Huo Rujing, but Huo Rujing was safer with him. If he went to where he was supposed to go, he might not be able to protect him.
"I am willing to go with Miss Jiang."
Huo Rujing trusted Jiang Xianyue completely and agreed immediately.
"Since my fiancée is going, it's really inconvenient for a man and woman to be alone together, so I will go with them."
But Father, if Miss Jiang handles this matter well, our marriage will proceed..."
Shen Shijing gave Jiang Xianyue a meaningful look. If he didn't urge her to get married, something might go wrong.
Jiang Xianyue didn't say anything, and unconsciously lowered her head when the topic of marriage came up.
The Emperor must be feeling extremely uncomfortable, so he waved his hand.
"If Jiang Xianyue can resolve this matter this time, I will give her whatever she wants. She is the chosen one, and she deserves it."
