What's more, in the capital, the people who had passed the test of the Xuanxin Stone of the Tianji Pavilion before have also received this news and will rush to Yunshang Temple early tomorrow morning.

If one can pass the Xuanxin Stone, one can naturally be pious during the prayer ceremonies.

It just so happened that there were thunderstorms in the past two or three days, and Yunshang Temple then held a prayer ceremony. The people would associate the incidents with each other on their own and would not think of the real reason.

In the basement, Yuntang helped Senior Brother Nine sit up cross-legged, untied his Taoist bun, combed his hair nine times with a peach wood comb, and then took out a seven-star scissors to cut a few strands of his hair.

After combing his hair into a Taoist bun again, she put him back into the coffin, lying him in the original position.

Last time, I slept in a coffin with Senior Brother Nine for two nights in the basement. Now, I can remain calm in the face of his living dead-like situation.

It's useless to be sad or angry now. She still has a lot of things to do and doesn't have the time to be sad here.

Afterwards, Yuntang untied her hair, cut off a few strands, and combed her hair into a bun again.

After preparing all these, she took out ice silk thread and five other silk threads including kudzu, cotton, and linen, and mixed them with her and ninth senior brother's hair to weave two seven-star life bracelets.

Then string the thousand-year blood jade, ten-thousand-year ice beads, deep-sea reef jade, imperial green marrow, southern Xinjiang fire marrow, outer space mysterious jade beads and mutton-fat jade hearts onto the bracelet, and finally use a white jade lotus as a rope pendant to tie it into a life knot.

It was already noon when he finished all this. Yuntang did not go to eat, but just ate two fruits and continued to draw talismans.

She has been busy cutting paper puppets these days, and now she needs some powerful talismans.

Taoist Yizhen came to see her, and saw that she was busy and focused, and refused to eat. He could only sigh worriedly and left without saying anything.

There must be a reason why Junior Master is so busy at this time.

Taoist Yizhen was not idle either. His junior uncle had already made the time clear, so even if the Qinglong Guards came to guard the mountain, he would not dare to make any mistakes.

All the Taoists in the temple took action, even a young Taoist boy who had just started learning Taoism received his own task.

At the same time, Taoist Yizhen also sent a message to the capital about the situation at Yunshang Temple.

Taoist Yizhen is a disciple of the second senior brother Yun Xuanlan of Qingfeng Temple, but he is ten years older than his master Yun Xuanlan. When Yunshang Temple was first built, he was appointed as the abbot.

After ten years of practice, his strength is not bad. He can be said to be the oldest and the strongest among the disciples of the same generation.

Yunshang Temple is the royal Taoist temple in the capital, so it is naturally managed by Xiao Beichen, but the actual person who contacts the news is Yun Xuanyuan.

Yuntang will start a three-day prayer ceremony tomorrow and invite devout believers to participate. Xiao Beichen and Yun Xuanyuan have known about this for a long time.

Upon learning that Yuntang had entered the basement and had not come out, and had not even eaten lunch and had been busy with something, Xiao Beichen and Yun Xuanyuan were also very confused.

However, Yuntang refused the help of his third senior brother and asked him to stay in the capital, so Xiao Beichen had another idea.

At noon that day, Xiao Ye ran to Qingfeng Palace to find his father and told him about what would happen at Yong'an Marquis' Mansion tomorrow. Xiao Beichen was so angry that he almost smashed a table.

Finally, he remembered that this was his table, and he quickly pulled back to avoid the loss.

"This wife of the Duke of Ping is quite calculating. If the Duke of Ping was not in the capital, I would have to give her a few words of reprimand."

But the fact is, no matter how hateful the wife of Duke Pingguo was, Duke Pingguo was stationed in the western border and the Duke Pingguo's son was indeed injured on the battlefield, which is why he is in his current state.

If the imperial court still cannot treat him well, I am afraid that other generals will have some ideas.

However, Tianji Pavilion had a history of charging money for treating such difficult and complicated diseases, and no one went to the imperial court to ask the emperor to pay for it.

But the shrewdness of Lady Pingguo's calculations is still a bit disgusting.

"It's better to cancel the marriage with Marquis Yong'an, so as to avoid entanglement in the future." Xiao Beichen said angrily.

If the Pingguo Mansion uses the real and fake daughter as an excuse to force the Yong'an Marquis Mansion to marry Yuntang to them, I'm sure people outside will not say that the Pingguo Mansion is dishonest.

The engagement was canceled directly. From now on, the two families can marry whoever they want, and it will not involve Yuntang.

There is no way to make any use of the three hundred thousand taels.

The decision made by Marquis Yong'an was a very wise one.

Xiao Ye ran to his father to tell him about this. Of course, he heard it from Jiang Yanlang early in the morning. He endured the morning classes and ran to his father to complain as soon as school was over.

After knowing his father's attitude, he hurried to find Jiang Yanlang to reassure him.

After Marquis Yong'an received Yuntang's exact answer last night, he indeed went to Prince Cheng's Palace early this morning.

Jiang Yanting took a leave of absence for the past two days and went to Prince Cheng's Mansion with his son.

During these two days, Jiang Yanting was at home, holding his son in his arms, strolling and playing in the garden, or reading Taoist scriptures in the study. In short, he was always with his son.

Wei Yulan knew that Jiang Yanting was still angry, but she didn't dare to say a word of complaint. She also picked up the "Tao Te Ching" to read these two days.

Whenever Jiang Yanting came back to her yard, she would pull Jiang Yanting aside to ask about the meaning of the scriptures. She couldn't quite understand what they were saying, so she asked Jiang Yanting to explain them to her.

Seeing that she was willing to learn Taoism, Jiang Yanting's attitude softened a little.

The last time Prince Cheng and his wife visited the Marquis' Mansion, Jiang Yanting was not there. This time, he went there with the child to pay his respects to his grandparents.

I was also worried that my father would quarrel again in Prince Cheng's Mansion because of my mother's behavior.

My father was a son-in-law and only a marquis, so he had no chance of winning any argument in front of his father-in-law, Prince Cheng.

Prince Cheng was also shocked to learn that Princess Kangning had secretly discussed a marriage exchange with the wife of Duke Ping without authorization.

Although he protects his daughter, he also indulges her.

But for aristocratic families like theirs, the marriage of their children involves the interests and even the destiny of the family. How can it be decided by one person?

Even if Marquis Yong'an wanted to cancel the engagement, he would not send people directly to the Duke Ping's Mansion, but would come to Prince Cheng's Mansion first.

Asking Princess Cheng to come forward is only one of the reasons, and reporting this matter to Prince Cheng's Mansion is another reason.

“I knew she was stubborn and willful, but I didn’t expect she had become so, so... headstrong and arrogant.” Prince Cheng’s eyes turned red with anger, and his voice sounded a little impatient and annoyed.

"Father, don't worry about what my second sister thinks."

"If Lady Pingguo is thinking in this way, then we have to cancel the marriage. Otherwise, the three hundred thousand taels will be a huge burden that will be put on the Marquis's mansion."

Prince Chenghe reminded from the side.

"If their plan succeeds, I'm worried that the princess will come back and ask Tang'er for money."

"I don't have the nerve to do that. Regardless of whether we get it or not, the Marquis' Mansion will have no face to survive in the capital. We will be laughed at to death!"

Marquis Yong'an also said bitterly.

"But if we cancel the engagement now, people will only accuse the Marquisate of being treacherous. After all, the Prince Qin is now... If Tang'er is really capable of curing the Prince Qin, then Xue'er... this would be a good marriage."

Princess Cheng was very conflicted. She couldn't please anyone and would be laughed at in the future.
