Chapter 65 Legal Affairs
When it came time to exorcise evil spirits, everyone in the palace went to the Temple of Heaven according to the law.

Some time ago, Song Qinglan served Liu Qiyun every day, and her hysteria gradually showed signs of improvement, which also made Song Qinglan feel a little relieved.As for her sister-in-law Xie Hesi, those who searched outside the palace still found nothing.

If there is no trace of her before Spring Hunting, she should return to Linzhou.

As for Jiang Zhi, she has always been quite peaceful, and has never made any other small moves.

"Princess, the time is coming soon." The maid stepped forward to gently remind her, Song Qinglan recovered, got up and went to the bedroom to call Liu Qiyun.

Exorcising evil spirits and praying for blessings, Changle Palace is the place where evil spirits are most prevalent in rumors, and Liu Qiyun, who is the host, naturally has to go, even if she is still ill.

It's not that Song Qinglan didn't argue, but Emperor Liang said: "This ceremony was originally done for Concubine Liu. What if she recovers from her illness after the ceremony? In short, it's all about benefits and no harm. She must go."

When Song Qinglan helped Liu Qiyun to the Temple of Heaven, the Habayashi guards had already guarded the surroundings, and the concubines had already arrived.The one at the very front is Concubine Chen.The eunuch shouted "Concubine Liu is here", Concubine Chen turned around with a smile on her face.

"A concubine asks her elder sister Ann/Concubine pays homage to her concubine."

Jiang Zhi led the concubines to kneel down to salute, Liu Qiyun was still sober at this time, and said: "You sisters don't need to be too polite, get up."

Jiang Zhi thanked her obediently, got up and backed away, giving Liu Qiyun the front seat.

She wondered in her heart, Concubine Liu's voice was so flimsy and feeble, she seemed to be seriously ill.

Song Qinglan supported Liu Qiyun to stand still, and she caught a glimpse of Song Qingan on the side from the corner of her eye.

Today she is wearing a silver and white forged silk tapestry, and a snow blue skirt, standing in the corner, as usual elegant and inconspicuous.On the other side of Song Qing'an, Song Qinghuai was tall and tall, with warm brows, feeling the gaze, he looked over first.

Song Qinglan smiled slightly, and immediately looked away.It's not that her mother didn't mention all kinds of things about Song Qinghuai's return to Beijing with her before, and she still has some fears about this second brother.

Song Qing'an glanced in the direction of Liu Qiyun thoughtfully, then lowered her eyes as if she didn't notice.

There were quite a few palace maids serving her, and she could feel many eyes staring at her intentionally or unintentionally...the elder brother beside her.

Song Qing'an was bored thinking about which little court lady would flop on her elder brother today, and then heard the eunuch call out loudly: "Your Majesty--"

Immediately, people around knelt down one after another. Song Qing settled down for a while, and finally knelt down too.

Ming Huang's figure gradually approached, followed by Pei Qing.Pei Qing wore a dark red python suit, as if stained with blood, she didn't come to worship the gods, but to kill the gods.

Everyone shouted Long Live His Majesty, and after three beeps, Emperor Liang called out.

He helped Liu Qiyun up with his own hands, as if concerned: "Is Concubine Liu better?"

"It's much better. I am very grateful for His Majesty's care." Liu Qiyun blessed her body and bowed her head to reply.

Emperor Liang patted her hand with satisfaction, and stood beside her. Song Qinglan retreated to the back upon seeing this.The abbot of Zhenguo Temple stepped forward to ask for an order, and Emperor Liang said in a deep voice, "Let's begin."

The abbot led the decree to retreat, and the ceremony on the Temple of Heaven gradually started.Emperor Liang himself respected Taoism, but the national religion still followed the tradition of the former emperor as Buddhism, so such a big ritual should naturally be handed over to the national temple.

A cauldron of censers was placed on the Temple of Heaven, and the abbot led several great monks to recite the scriptures, then he stood up and said to the rear, "Your Majesty and Your Majesty, please come and offer incense."

This process was really tedious and boring. Song Qing'an watched Emperor Liang and Concubine Liu go up to the Temple of Heaven, hold incense and kneel to worship, wisps of clear smoke dispersed over the palace city.

Accompanied by the sound of the abbot chanting scriptures, the sound of the bell striking, ancient and distant, spread throughout the imperial city.

Under the Temple of Heaven, everyone clasped their hands together, lowered their heads and closed their eyes.

Song Qing'an secretly opened his eyes, looked around, and found that no one was paying attention, so he lightly bumped into Song Qinghuai who was beside him.

Song Qinghuai's face remained unchanged, as if he didn't respond at all.But Song Qing'an felt a gaze from his side falling on him.

Covering up the still mixed voices above the Temple of Heaven, Song Qing'an whispered: "Brother, do you think she's alright?"

Song Qinghuai's eyebrows were as usual, and he said with his internal force: "It seems to be very good."

"That's right... That's strange. Why do people in the palace say that Concubine Liu is gone?"

Song Qing'an closed his eyes, paused for a while, and said in a low voice: "It shouldn't really be the effect of this ritual."

"Maybe it's man-made."

What Song Qinghuai said was the same as what she thought.

As for that "person"... Xiao Tao came to report earlier, and everything in Weiyang Palace is as usual.

It is probably Pei Qing.

There should be no enmity between Liu Qiyun and Pei Qing. Song Qing'an is not an arrogant person, and he doesn't think that Pei Qing will have trouble with Liu Qiyun because of her.

As for the last time... Pei Qing probably did it on her own, I'm afraid there was another purpose.

He wants Liu Qiyun to be so "sick", who is he planning to hold?
She quietly raised her eyes and looked at Pei Qing who was beside the emperor.

Above the Temple of Heaven, he is like piled stones and pine trees, his brows and eyes are indifferent and distant like jade, and he is haunted by a sense of prey.

Pei Qing also clasped his palms together, but with his face, his actions didn't look like he was praying to the Buddha.

Instead, they are inviting demons to come into the world.

Thinking of this, she couldn't help laughing secretly.

Forget it, probably in the eyes of the world, Pei Qing is no different from a demon.

He himself is a demon.

As if aware of the gaze, Pei Qing slowly opened her eyes, and turned her head to look at Song Qing'an.

The latter did not evade, but only glanced at him, lowered his eyes, and bit his lips lightly.

Pei Qing seemed to smile, and that burning gaze lingered on Song Qing'an for a long time before taking it away.

The Sanskrit sound fades away, and the ceremony will end.

They were supposed to disperse here, but Emperor Liang didn't know what he thought, so he ordered everyone to go to Xuanhua Hall for lunch.

Emperor Liang and Liu Qiyun left first, and the rest of the people waited for the two emperors and concubines to go far away before following.

Song Qing'an let Song Qinghuai go first, while he fell far behind.Her eyes looked over the crowd and fell on the dazzling red that still lingered here.

Pei Qing seemed to be giving some orders to Lang Guan, the leader of the Habayashi guards on duty.Sensing the gaze, Pei Qing turned her sideways eyes and bumped into Song Qingan's curious and probing eyes.The silvery white clothes set off her white skin even more, and her brown eyes were like two streams of spring water, clear and cold.

The coldness in Pei Qing's eyes melted a little, and the corners of her lips lifted.The Lang Guan wondered why Pei Qing stopped talking halfway, when he looked up, he saw that Pei Qing was looking at nowhere, and smiled strangely.When he wanted to follow Pei Qing's gaze, the latter had already withdrawn his gaze and continued to give instructions as if nothing had happened.

Lang Guan finally glanced at the group of Yingying and Yanyan, and seeing that no one was looking here, he felt even more confused.

Song Qing'an had tilted his head and lowered his eyes, a slight smile floated in his eyes, and his boredom dissipated a little.Forget it, at least he was still present at the palace banquet, so it passed by.

She lowered her head and looked down. When she passed by Pei Qing's side, she seemed to have slipped on a raised pebble.Song Qing'an let out a low exclamation, and fell to the side.

Lang Guan thought that it was impossible for Pei Qing to help, so he hurried forward.

But he thought about it, Pei Qing raised his arm, and firmly embraced Song Qing'an.Not only that, Pei Qing also gave him a cold glance.

Lang Guan hurriedly retreated to put quail on his head.

Seeing sincerity and fear on Song Qing'an's face, he quickly stabilized his figure and stood up from Pei Qing's arms, thanking her repeatedly.

But under the cover of the wide-sleeved robe, Song Qingan's hand lightly hooked his belt, and then let go after a moment of force.

Pei Qing's eyes darkened instantly, but Song Qing'an had behaved well and left with everyone.

 Thank you for the reward from the fog when the crane returns~ I also thank all the babies who voted for recommendation, try to squeeze in time to give everyone a little explosion~
