Chapter 1162: Fortune
Since she could not keep up, Xie Qiao did not make things difficult for herself. After staying for a while, she gave the first princess a few talismans.
“Getting rid of evil energy isn’t that simple. After the first princess returned, drink the talisman water three times. In the palace, it’s best to keep some flowers, birds and fish. Don’t bask in the sun, the fire element is too strong, and the lotus patterns on her body have already been tattooed. There’s nothing that you can do about it. It’s just that the mole at the end of her eye needs to be p.r.i.c.ked with a golden needle. Draw some blood, and don’t waste that blood. Find a bottle and keep it. Three days later, give me her eight characters and fresh blood,” Xie Qiao arranged.
Madam Ruan listened carefully and did not dare to go against it.
However, she thought time was a little tight.
When she thought about the time, Madam Ruan frowned again. “Master, can you please perform divination on the first princess’ marriage…”
If that thing was given by Young Master Dai, it would be fine if it was unintentional, but what if it was intentional? Why did he want to steal the princess’ fortune?! If he wanted to harm the princess, she definitely could not marry this person, right?!
However, it was probably not appropriate to explain such matters to His Majesty. If His Majesty did not believe her, she might even implicate Consort Ruan…
Xie Qiao asked for her eight characters and did a simple calculation first.
“There are more variables. If this marriage is successful, it would not be good for the princess. I suggest that we find her another husband.” After a moment, Xie Qiao replied.
With that said, the heavy weight in Madam Ruan’s heart became even heavier.
Master Mo would never lie to them. She had helped many n.o.blemen and every family treated her with great respect. Even the Fourth Prince’s father-in-law, Master Yan, had previously called her a witch. He respected Master Mo very much now.
She was only five days away from getting married. Yet, at the last minute, the marriage was going to be called off?
It would also be bad for the first princess’s reputation…
However, how could she not listen to the master’s advice?
“Then I’ll go pick up Master in three days,” Madam Ruan said very politely.
Xie Qiao nodded.
Madam Ruan sent her off.
After Xie Qiao went back, she immediately went to look for Mo Lingzi. Today, he was at the city gate, setting up a stall. He looked like a fraud.
Xie Qiao did not mention the first princess, but only mentioned the evil fortune-stealing technique. When Mo Lingzi heard it, he frowned.
“Someone was robbed of their fortune? Is it a man or a woman?” Mo Lingzi asked curiously.
“Master, I can’t say too much. I just want to ask you if you’ve encountered such a thing before.” Xie Qiao looked quite obedient.
Mo Lingzi scratched his head. “Any evil technique will exhaust one’s spirit. Who wouldn’t want to do it? Unless the other party is strong enough to secure the capital… However, it isn’t something that can be easily done. No matter how rich a person is, there will always be a variable in his or her life. It’s not worth the risk, unless he or she is from the imperial family. With the protection of the nation, the villain would not be at a loss for stealing one’s fortune.”
Xie Qiao’s eyelids twitched.
His master was right.
Although the first princess was a woman, she was a member of the imperial family and the Emperor’s biological daughter. The current Emperor had few heirs, so the fortunes of every prince and princess would be relatively stronger…
Xie Qiao recalled the astrological signs she had seen previously.
Perhaps the person behind this wanted to collect dragon energy?
The more Xie Qiao thought about it, the more she felt that the possibility was very high.
Initially, she was not in a hurry to interrogate those men in black, but now, she could not wait any longer.
Early the next morning, she eagerly followed the Crown Prince to the criminal division.
Inside the criminal division, it was just like in the past, making Xie Qiao not want to open her eyes. A wisp of ghoul would fly past her eyes every now and then. They were ferocious, strange and terrifying. Just that sharp voice made people’s hearts tremble and did not dare to speak.
