Chapter 747 It can’t be him
The people in the room looked at each other, all of them sensing this feeling, but no one said it aloud.
After taking He Yulong's pulse, Song Ruozhen found that his actual physical problems were not serious. As a young man, his physical condition was naturally not too bad.
However, he had been staying in this mansion for a long time, shrouded in malevolent energy, and naturally became weak over time.
"There's nothing wrong with the prescription the doctor gave you; just continue taking it as prescribed."
As she spoke, Song Ruozhen took out a pill and handed it to her, saying, "Take this pill, and your health will improve."
He Yulong looked at the pills that Song Ruozhen casually took out and couldn't help but be surprised. Could it be that Princess Chu had already seen that something was wrong with him? Otherwise, how could she have prepared the pills in advance?
Song Ruozhen took the pills out of her spatial storage at random. Because she often encountered such situations, she had prepared quite a few pills and talismans.
When you encounter it, you can simply take it out.
Seeing the surprised expressions on everyone's faces, Song Ruozhen explained, "I usually prepare extra of these pills, as they are specifically designed to counteract the effects of malevolent energy."
I heard that the old Marquis's health is not very good either. I still have a few of these pills. Since the health of everyone in the main residence has been greatly affected, it would be best if each of you took one.
As for those whose conditions are not serious, there's no need for further treatment. Once the problems in your household are resolved, your health will naturally recover gradually.
Upon hearing that the pill could solve this problem, Madam Hou's eyes lit up with delight. "Thank you so much, Princess Consort Chu! You are our savior!"
"Madam Hou, you don't need to be so polite."
"Quickly, take this pill to the old Marquis."
The servants quickly took the pills over, and after He Yulong, He Yucheng, and Madam Hou took the pills, their originally pale faces gradually regained a rosy hue.
They felt the pent-up frustration in their hearts suddenly dissipate after taking the pills, and they hadn't experienced that feeling of complete ease in a long time.
Now, when I feel it again, I feel an indescribable sense of comfort!
"These pills are truly miraculous! I've taken so many herbal decoctions these past few days, and my condition hadn't improved at all. I never expected it to be so much better now!"
He Yucheng was shocked. He had only heard that the Princess Consort of Chu was powerful before, but now he truly realized just how powerful she was!
This skill... is something ordinary people simply cannot possess!
"Yulong, you should lie down and rest first. Let Yucheng take us to see the ancestral hall first," said Prince Yang.
He Yulong nodded. He actually felt much better after taking the pill, but considering his body was wrapped in gauze, he thought it would be better to let Yucheng take them.
As soon as Song Ruozhen stepped out of the room, her gaze fell on the place where evil energy gathered.
"That should be your ancestral hall."
He Yucheng looked in the direction Song Ruozhen indicated and indeed saw the location of the ancestral hall. He was even more shocked. This was truly amazing!
Even though they had never been to their manor before, they could directly see the location of the ancestral hall.
Prince Yang was equally surprised. He had actually witnessed his sister-in-law's skills at the hunting competition, but it was so astonishing that he felt it was just a coincidence.
Seeing this today, I truly realize that this is not a coincidence at all, but a testament to real skill!
Upon seeing the ancestral hall of the Marquis of Jingbei's residence, Chu Junting frowned slightly, instinctively feeling that it was not a good place and wanting to leave.
"What kind of evil spirit is hidden here, where evil energy gathers?"
Song Ruozhen nodded, "This soaring evil aura must be related to blood. Normally, if this thing had existed for a long time, nothing would have grown around here."
According to the Marquis's family, this situation didn't exist three months ago; the incense suddenly went out, leaving only one possibility.
Chu Junting's eyes narrowed slightly. "Someone tampered with things three months ago?"
"My husband is so smart!"
Song Ruozhen chuckled. She realized that Chu Junting was really smart. Although he wasn't a member of the Xuanmen sect, he had spent a lot of time with her and was very familiar with these situations.
Because the beam collapsed in the morning, the ancestral hall was in a mess at the moment, but the memorial tablets had all been properly placed in the room next door.
Looking at the scene before him, He Yucheng felt even more sorrowful. They had always served their elders with utmost care and had never done anything against their ancestral teachings, yet they couldn't understand why things had turned out this way.
“Our ancestors were angry and not only forbade us from making offerings, but now even the ancestral hall has collapsed.”
"Don't laugh at me, but because of what's happened recently, we're planning to move our whole family away from the capital," He Yucheng sighed.
“Your ancestors were not angry,” Song Ruozhen said frankly.
He Yucheng was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then exclaimed in surprise, "Your Highness, what do you mean by that...?"
"Someone deliberately placed something filled with malevolent energy here to affect your entire ancestral hall, in order to make the fortune of the entire Jingyuan Marquis's mansion worse and worse, causing people to die, become crippled, or even... die out of lineage!"
Upon hearing this, He Yucheng's eyes widened in shock. "What? Someone could be so vicious!"
When Old Madam Hou overheard this, her vision blurred and she nearly fainted, but the anger in her heart kept her going.
She was trembling with rage. "Who on earth is so vicious as to want our Marquis's family to be wiped out!"
What kind of deep-seated hatred must there be to go to such lengths!
"Since it started three months ago, you should think carefully about what happened back then and whether there were any suspicious people."
Song Ruozhen reminded him that since the other party was able to bury such a thing in the ancestral hall of the Marquis of Jingbei's mansion, they must be someone who could come and go from the mansion.
He Yucheng and Madam Hou exchanged a glance, carefully considering what had happened three months ago. They were usually kind to others and rarely made enemies, let alone such a deep-seated hatred that could wipe out someone's lineage!
"There are only so many people coming and going in our mansion. If we were to talk about three months ago, only my cousin came to stay with us for a short period of time."
He came to our household to borrow money, and my mother lent it to him. He came to participate in the imperial examination. Originally, we planned for him to stay here until the examination was over.
However, he suddenly said he didn't want to continue living in the mansion, so we didn't stop him," He Yucheng said thoughtfully.
When his cousin insisted on leaving, he found it strange. He thought it would be more comfortable to stay in their house, so why did he have to move out? He even asked his older brother about it.
The elder brother didn't understand the reason either, but as men, they didn't like to meddle in other people's business. Since the other party was determined to leave, there was no point in stopping him. They just gave him some more money and told him to take care of himself.
There's nothing wrong with that, and besides, they've always treated their cousin well, so their cousin wouldn't do anything to harm them for that reason.
