Chapter 455: Must Be Protected

After finding out what happened, he quickly bowed deeply to Yun Qinghan. Shu Tingyu knew very well what a wedding ceremony was. Usually, a woman would give a wedding ceremony to a man, and only those who were in great financial difficulty and had basically no way to make a living would do so.

How could a man bring good luck to a woman, especially when the man was a nobleman like Prince Yun. Even if the person being brought good luck was his own sister, Shu Tingyu could not go against his conscience and say to Prince Yun that it was his duty.

But now that Prince Yun and the Emperor agreed, he naturally had no choice but to be grateful.

Before, when their sister was getting married, they were still a little worried and reluctant, because their sister's personality was not suitable for a wealthy family at all, and Prince Yun was not the best choice. But now with Yun Qinghan's attitude, Shu Tingyu was completely relieved. No matter what Prince Yun's attitude would be in the future, at least now he could rest assured to leave his sister to Prince Yun.

He was also particularly grateful for Yun Qinghan's sacrifice. In his opinion, wasn't this a sacrifice? In any case, their General's Mansion owed Yun Qinghan a favor, and it had nothing to do with whether Yun Shizi wanted to marry his sister.

Because Shu Xiaoxiao is still the daughter of the general's mansion, and his sister will not change even if she gets married in the future. They in the general's mansion appreciate this kindness, even though his sister is about to marry into the Dingbei Marquis Mansion.

Seeing that his nephew agreed, the emperor naturally would not object and wrote down the imperial edict happily. Although he felt a little sorry for his imperial sister and Marquis Dingbei, Shu Xiaoxiao was the lucky star of Daning. Shu Xiaoxiao usually made many useful suggestions, but only Emperor Jingming and Principal Chu knew about it. No matter what, Emperor Jingming must protect Shu Xiaoxiao.

Moreover, his sister and brother-in-law might thank him for having such a good daughter-in-law in the future, so Emperor Jingming issued the imperial edict without any hesitation.

In the future, he will create a prosperous Da Ning and be admired by all people. Shu Xiaoxiao will definitely play a very important role in it, so Shu Xiaoxiao must not be in any danger. It is just a celebration for his nephew, which is not worth mentioning compared with Shu Xiaoxiao's importance.

Besides, although it is a wedding for good fortune, the person his nephew married is also his dream, so it is in line with his wishes, right?

Since it was a wedding to bring good luck, there was naturally no time to delay. Now that it had been confirmed, the two of them hurried back to the General's Mansion with the imperial edict and Taoist Qingzhu. After all, they were destined to be together, so it would be better to let Taoist Qingzhu take a look at Shu Xiaoxiao's condition.

After the imperial edict was announced, leaving aside everyone's surprise, Qingzhu entered the room and began to look around.

Generally speaking, for a girl like Shu Xiaoxiao, outsiders are not allowed to enter her room, let alone her yard. After all, in Daning, men and women are strictly separated, so even if the separation is not that serious, the appropriate distance must still be maintained.

But the situation is special now and there are not so many requirements. But for convenience, Shu Xiaoxiao is now lying in the room in the front yard, so it is more convenient to see the doctor.

But now, seeing the look on Taoist Qingzhu's face, everyone was a little confused. Is there something wrong with this room? But this is where Shu Xiaoxiao moved in after she fell into a coma!

"Master, is there something wrong with the room?" Shu Tingyu asked carefully. Is it necessary to go to Xiaoxiao's yard to check?

Taoist Qingzhu looked around the room and frowned, "There is a problem. I wonder if you can take a look at what Miss Shu was wearing on the day she fell unconscious."

Hearing this, Pearl immediately took out the things she had packed before. The young lady had said before that if anything happened, we must remember to protect the scene. Although the young lady's situation was a little different, Pearl was too worried. The young lady was usually healthy, and suddenly fell into a coma. Maybe there was some villain causing trouble.

Later, after consulting so many doctors and imperial physicians who were unable to find the cause, Zhenzhu became even more certain that someone must have murdered the young lady. Since she could not help in any other way, she just remembered to protect the scene.

Not only did she have people guarding the garden, but she also prohibited anyone from going to the place where Shu Xiaoxiao had been. She even kept the clothes that Shu Xiaoxiao had taken off, and she didn't even dare to wash them for fear that the evidence would be washed away.

Now that the Taoist priest mentioned this, Zhenzhu first felt relieved that she had done the right thing, and then she quickly took the thing out.

Shu Xiaoxiao had just started wearing women's clothes again. Out of novelty and love of beauty, there were plenty of places that could be decorated, such as her head, neck, ears, and hands, so the number of things she took out was not small.

Others didn't react much. In their eyes, this was normal. Shouldn't girls dress up beautifully? Not to mention girls, they themselves had a lot of accessories on them.

Only Qingzhu was a little surprised. Could a person carry so many things? He had only a jade pendant given by his master on his waist and a wooden hairpin on his head. He was dressed simply as a Taoist priest. The people of Kyoto were indeed rich.

In this case, they could only take out the compass and look at the white jade pendant that the compass pointed to. Qingzhu picked up the jade pendant, and everyone else's expressions changed. This jade pendant...

Any questions?

Qingzhu took the jade pendant and examined it carefully. Then he put his right index and middle fingers together and made a complicated movement. Then he pointed at the jade pendant and shouted, "Break it!"

Afterwards, everyone watched as the clear and flawless jade pendant suddenly changed its appearance. The jade pendant was still the same jade pendant, but it was now surrounded by black energy, which gave people an ominous feeling.

Shu Tingyu, Yun Qinghan and others took a deep breath when they saw this. The reason why their sister/junior brother was unconscious was found.

Shu Tingyu's face suddenly darkened: "Where did this jade pendant come from? Check it out! Check it out clearly from beginning to end."

Zhenzhu's face was full of fear when she saw the jade pendant covered with black air. After hearing Shu Tingyu's words, she immediately said, "This jade pendant has been in Miss's room for a while. It should have been sent to the mansion by the shop. Miss didn't pay attention to it before... before. When she was getting dressed this time, she saw this jade pendant and felt good about it, so she took it with her. Unexpectedly, then..."

Although Shu Xiaoxiao wore men's clothing and sometimes did not live in the general's mansion, when the women in the mansion bought clothes and jewelry, Ye Xue Ning would always prepare some for Shu Xiaoxiao. The girl could choose not to wear them, but she had to have them. This jade pendant was sent to Shu Xiaoxiao's room in this way.

Shu Xiaoxiao didn't have much use for them before, but now that her identity has been restored, Shu Xiaoxiao wants to dress up, so they sorted these things out for Shu Xiaoxiao to choose from, but they didn't expect problems to arise.

"Then start investigating from the shop. I want to know where this jade pendant came from and how it got to our general's mansion."

Shu Tingyu had a fierce look on his face. Although he was a civil servant now, he was born in the General's Mansion and had a hot-blooded side. It would have been fine if no one knew about it before, but now someone had stretched their hands into the General's Mansion. If he didn't show his power, others would treat the General's Mansion as a sick cat.

Yun Qinghan's eyes also darkened, and he would also get to the bottom of this jade pendant.

Then he looked at Qingzhu: "Master, is Xiaoxiao unconscious because of this jade pendant? What can we do to make Xiaoxiao wake up?" The group of people were anxious. Now that they had found the cause, the problem should be solved!

"Wulian Tianzun, this layman's coma is indeed caused by the jade pendant, but if he wants to wake up, he still needs to follow Master's method to get married as soon as possible."

"The so-called "rushing happiness" is actually to use happiness to dispel evil spirits, which is very suitable for this layman's situation. This jade pendant has been cast with a soul-devouring array. As the name suggests, this array absorbs souls. The absorbed souls can be used for practicing exercises or cultivating magic tools. It is an extremely vicious method."

"Now that Mr. Shu's soul has been absorbed, the black air above is the foul air that can imprison the soul. Although it can be removed, it is also easy to cause harm to the soul. The most gentle way is to use a happy event to bring good luck. It is best to use a person with a noble fate to bring good luck, as it will have the best effect." As he said this, he glanced at the person in front of him who had a noble fate and was the most suitable candidate for bringing good luck.

Yun Qinghan:..............

"Will it be a hindrance to Xiaoxiao now? If we want to get married...when will be the best time?" Shu Tingyu asked hurriedly.

Anyway, the Emperor and Prince Yun have already agreed, and now that they have found the reason, it is certain that as long as they get married... their sister can be cleansed, so the better. As for who came up with this sinister method and who is the mastermind behind hurting their sister, they will naturally not let him go when their sister wakes up.

Qingzhu looked at the jade pendant in his hand and made a complicated gesture towards it. Then the black color on it slowly solidified and then gradually faded away.

"Most of the layman's soul is already inside. If all of it enters the jade pendant, that would be a disaster. I have temporarily sealed the jade pendant's formation and suspended it. You can get married within seven days."

Seeing that the black air on the jade pendant was controlled by him, Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't know why the Soul-Devouring Formation appeared, Qingzhu found that this Mr. Shu was a little different from ordinary people. This Mr. Shu had been unconscious for three days. Logically speaking, the formation should have been basically completed by now. It was almost impossible for him to seal the Soul-Devouring Formation, and it was too late even to get married to bring good luck.

But Mr. Shu’s condition was obviously much better. The dirty air on the jade pendant was not that strong. When he tried to seal it just now, he completed it very easily. And this mansion, everyone knows that whether it is a temple or a Taoist temple, they like to be built on the mountains or deep in the mountains. Is it just because they like quietness?

Of course not. In the mountains, there is nothing but peace and quiet. Far away from people, their lives are very inconvenient, okay? They are just practicing Buddhism, but they are still human beings. They have to eat, drink, defecate and urinate as well. It is very inconvenient compared to the foot of the mountain, okay?

Isn't it because the deep mountains are quiet and full of spiritual energy, which is more suitable for them to practice? This is indeed the case. Since he came down the mountain, no place he passed by could compare with the spiritual energy in the mountain, until he came to Kyoto.
