All the ancestors in the capital begged me to be a substitute

The boy's clean eyebrows and eyes were full of timidity, as if he had lingering fears about such a "ceremony".

Seeing Shen Lingxi looking over, he hurriedly said, "I'll wait for you outside, so I won't go in."

He didn't want to come in, in front of so many people, Shen Lingxi couldn't force it, and couldn't ask why.

She had no choice but to turn her head and look at Zhao Dong in the gossip formation again——
Perhaps because of disheveled hair, Zhao Dong looked much more haggard than before in the Longevity Temple.

He was over forty years old, tall and tall, with a round face, thick eyebrows and big eyes. He looked majestic and majestic, and he was very difficult to mess with.

But everyone in the capital knew that Zhao Dong was an embroidered pillow with gold and jade on the outside, but on the inside of the rags.

She is a womanizer, with soft ears, lots of wives and concubines, but few children.

The old Duke Wei fought with the Taizu back then, and made great contributions and great military exploits. However, two of his sons died in battle one after another. In the end, only Zhao Dong, a son who was incapable of writing and martial arts, was left to inherit the title.

The old Duke of Wei knew that Zhao Dong was not capable, and he had promoted many outstanding children in the army during his lifetime. In addition, the emperor had trusted and relied heavily on the Zhao family for a long time. Although the old Duke of Wei had passed away for six years , the Zhao family still has a reputation in the army.This is also the capital why Zhao Dong dared to turn the clouds and rains in the court.

If we calculate carefully, the marriage between the eldest princess and Cui Jin, as well as the grievances between the Zhao and Liang families, should be planned by the old Duke Wei when he was alive.

And what happened in the past few years is probably because Zhao Dong "inherited his father's business" and followed the old Duke Wei's will, continuing to make moves on the chessboard.

If the old Duke of Wei was still alive, the Zhao family would not have acted so aggressively, and I am afraid it would not have been exposed so quickly.

After all, Zhao Dong was still far behind the old Wei Guogong.

While Shen Lingxi was thinking, Zhao Dong suddenly opened his eyes.

Those big piercing eyes were dazed for a moment when they saw them.

But soon, that blankness was replaced by panic,

"Ah! Ghost, there is a ghost behind you, don't come here... don't come here!

His gaze was fixed on Chu Yan, as if terrified.

At the same time, twenty or so alchemists in the courtyard stopped what they were doing and looked at Chu Yan.

Like Zhao Dong, they all showed fear in their eyes, and they all took a few steps back.

Shen Lingxi looked at them speechlessly.

Good guys, you can really act if you can see ghosts next to the evil star of the lone star of the sky.

Mu Huai'an was also amazed, "Is this the beginning of the show?"

Chu Yan's eyes were slightly cold, and he glanced at Chao Chunjun.

There was a sneer on the corner of Chun Jun's lips, and he was about to bring someone forward——
Suddenly, Shen Lingxi, who was pretending to be a servant, also opened her eyes in "horrified" and looked behind Zhao Dong.

"Grandpa, take a closer look, the ghosts are not on our side, they are all behind you!"

Chun Jun: ...

Mu Huaian: ...

Well, this is the beginning of the "play".

Chu Yan's eyelids drooped slightly to hide the smile in his eyes, and he deliberately turned his body sideways to give Shen Lingxi the most conspicuous position.

Zhao Dong's frightened expression froze for a moment.

No one in the capital knew that the grandson of the emperor, Chu Yan, had always hated pretending to be ghosts.

How could he have thought that the people brought by Chu Yan could actually play against him!
"You're talking nonsense!" Zhao Dong pointed at behind Chu Yan with trembling fingers, "There is a woman covered in blood, standing there!"

Shen Lingxi's face changed slightly.

Blood all over, woman.

At first glance, it alludes to the late former princess.

The death of his mother was a knot in Chu Yan's heart.

This is very embarrassing.

The other party deliberately provoked Chu Yan to provoke him!
What Shen Lingxi thought of was also what Mu Huai'an and Chun Jun were worried about.

Both of them looked at Chu Yan together——
Sure enough, Chu Yan's gaze was instantly as cold as frozen water, and killing intent suddenly arose all over his body.

"Obviously behind you." Shen Lingxi hurriedly took a step forward and stood in front of Chu Yan.

The petite figure suddenly appeared in sight, making Chu Yan's expression slightly condensed.

She put one hand behind her back and waved it comfortingly towards him.

The other hand pointed to Zhao Dong's left side, "Look, there is a woman in a blue dress with a crabapple flower on her hair and a child in her arms. On your shoulder, why don't you look back at her?"

Zhao Dong was startled, and subconsciously looked to his left.

No wonder he reacted this way.

It's because the concubine he killed with his own hands in the Temple of Longevity was dressed like this when he died.

Shen Lingxi had seen that concubine's room back then, even though she hadn't seen her dead soul at this moment, she still remembered her appearance.

"Bullshit!"

Although Zhao Dong said so, he stood up in surprise and moved aside.

"Oh, don't...don't move!" Shen Lingxi exclaimed again, looking like she couldn't bear to look directly, and pointed to his feet, "What are those pieces on the ground?"

"Ah! There's a hand, there's a head, there's a leg, and you stepped on that man's finger!"

Zhao Dong jumped away suddenly, with a burly figure, he ran extremely nimbly behind those alchemists, waving his sleeves while running, "Go away! Go away!"

The leading alchemist, about thirty years old, stepped forward very quickly, swung the mahogany sword in his hand, and slashed in the air.

He was still chanting words, as if he was serious about catching ghosts.

This is all left over from Shen Lingxi's play, how could he be fooled so easily.

"The direction is wrong, it's on the right!"

"...No, no, now I ran to your left."

"The woman's hand is holding the Duke's left shoulder. Why are you stabbing the right side?"

"Hey, my lord, where did these alchemists come from?" Shen Lingxi's eyes were full of disgust: "It's clear that they hacked randomly! Can their skills exorcise evil spirits?"

Zhao Dong was a little terrified at first, but now he calmed down after hearing what she said.

He knew in his heart that if this went on like this, it would be very difficult for him to act out this act of pretending to be crazy.

So, ignoring the invisible "ghosts" around him, he said angrily, "Where did the yellow-haired boy come from? How dare you use an axe in front of the expert I invited, His Highness King Ning, is this how you control the servants?"

Ever since Concubine Zhao gave birth to the only prince in the world, Zhao Dong has always played around with his uncle who went abroad, and now even the emperor's grandson is ignored.

Because of Shen Lingxi's actions, Chu Yan restrained the anger in his heart. Hearing this, his gaze fell on him coldly, "Duke Wei has been ill for so many days and has not improved at all. The emperor is very worried. It can be seen that these charlatans They are all swindlers."

He pointed to Shen Lingxi: "This is Taoist Master Miaoling who was invited from Jinxian Temple alone, and she specializes in exorcising evil spirits for people. From today on, let her exorcising evil spirits for Duke Wei."

"Chunjun, take all these useless charlatans back to Beiya, just to see how many people they have deceived."
