Chapter 497 Even if she died, I, a Taoist priest, would not wear mourning for her
That night, Yun Tang continued to refine the elixir and Yun Xuanmo continued to draw talismans, both working hard towards their goals.
It was not until the second half of the night that Yun Tang completed the alchemy task and went to find Yun Xuanmo.
"Ninth Senior Brother, stop drawing and go to bed."
"Okay, draw two more."
Yun Xuanmo continued writing as he spoke casually.
Although he didn't sleep last night, it didn't seem to matter if he didn't sleep tonight, but he knew that if he didn't stop, Tangtang would definitely pull him to sleep.
Ever since they started talking about their relationship, they have never slept on the same kang and in the same quilt. Usually, she would sleep while he would meditate beside her.
Yun Xuanmo stopped only after finishing drawing the few remaining talisman papers on the table, still feeling a little unsatisfied.
"In the past, I would draw some whenever I had time and save them. It turns out that the feeling of drawing all the time is like this. I can enter a state of self-forgetfulness, as if I was born for talismans."
Watching Yun Tang helping him count the talisman papers, Yun Xuanmo poured himself a cup of hot tea and sat beside him drinking it, smiling slightly.
"From now on, I will accompany you to draw talismans for an hour every night." Yun Tang looked up at him and smiled, "You can't spend all your time drawing talismans, you still have to meditate and practice, right?"
Yun Xuanmo nodded. He could not give up cultivation. Drawing talismans was just one of the ways to practice.
After cleaning up, they both went back to their rooms, quickly washed up, and went to bed.
Yun Tang didn't even go to Yun Xuanmo to beg him to take care of her.
The next day, they got up early and meditated for half an hour, then went to the small Taoist temple for morning lessons.
After they finished their morning lessons, other people from the mansion who also came to do morning lessons also arrived one after another. They felt a little embarrassed to see that they were up so early.
Everyone can only be considered believers. Those who can spare time in the morning will come to do morning classes, or evening classes in the evening. Those who cannot come on weekdays will read the Taoist scriptures several times and express their piety in their own way.
Yun Tang and Yun Xuanmo exchanged a few simple greetings with them and then, without affecting their mood for morning prayers, went for a walk in the garden to stretch their bodies.
Afterwards, Yun Tang went back to Tangfeng Courtyard to take a bath, and Yun Xuanmo also went back to his own courtyard to take a bath. At noon, they had breakfast together.
Yuntang then remembered that he had saved a bowl of bird's nest yesterday and had not eaten it yet, so he took it out.
We are hosting a banquet today to entertain the girls. We don't need to prepare so much bird's nest. Instead, we can prepare red dates, longans, lilies, lotus seeds and white fungus soup as an afternoon dessert.
At noon, sweet, non-intoxicating glutinous rice and osmanthus wine (sweet wine) will be prepared.
Since we are entertaining little girls, the dishes will be innovative, mainly delicious and with various complementary foods, and there won’t be too much formal fish and meat.
They had just finished breakfast when Marquis Yong'an came over with Xiao Ming'er and the four sisters, followed by several maids and Xiao Ming'er's wet nurse.
"Father, have you had breakfast? I'll ask someone..." Yuntang said hurriedly when he saw this.
However, Marquis Yong'an shook his head and said, "I came here after I had eaten." If he wanted to catch up with the breakfast, he would have come earlier.
"Your eldest brother has something to do today and can't take care of the child. Your eldest and second sisters-in-law are still caring for your mother, and her condition seems to have worsened again."
"I don't know what happened. I vomited after taking the medicine, couldn't eat, couldn't drink more than two mouthfuls of porridge, and couldn't even speak a few words before I was out of breath."
"Last night, I asked your eldest brother to live with Ming'er in the front yard. Let Ming'er stay with you tonight. We will take Ming'er back after the banquet tomorrow."
Marquis Yong'an didn't want to talk about Princess Kangning much, but he found out last night that Princess Kangning's condition had become worse. He went to see her and found that it didn't seem to be fake, and he felt a little worried.
Both the court physician and the imperial physician had examined the patient, but they only said that the patient was weak and in poor spirits. At first they said that he had caught a cold, but later they said that it was not the case, and they could not diagnose the exact disease.
What a headache.
He had taken the marrow cleansing pill, so he was not afraid of catching the disease, but Ming'er was still young and could not be implicated.
Princess Kangning's illness was quite severe, and her two daughters-in-law could only take care of her every day. They didn't even return to their own courtyard last night.
Jiang Yingxue also stayed in Jinhua Hall to take care of the patient.
From this perspective, Yuntang didn't even go back to the Marquis' Mansion. If someone with ulterior motives makes a fuss about it, they can really say something about it.
Fortunately, Yuntang did not return to the Marquis' Mansion but moved into the Princess's Mansion. They originally lived separately. Otherwise...
Marquis Yong'an didn't want to tell his daughter about the bad things happening in the mansion, but he didn't want his daughter to be ignorant and passive in response.
He was also somewhat hoping that his daughter could come forward to cure Corning and save a lot of trouble.
"Tang'er, the imperial physician can't diagnose her illness. This is a difficult and complicated disease. Can you cure it? Or Tianji Pavilion..."
Yun Tang shook his head: "Master doesn't let me go back to the Marquis' Mansion. It must be related to her illness, and her illness is obviously related to me."
"Since Master said that 'evil people give birth to evil thoughts, and evil thoughts give birth to evil people, so she will suffer the consequences of her own actions.' If this is her karma, then she should bear the consequences."
"Therefore, neither I nor Tianji Pavilion will care."
Seeing that Yong'an Hou had a gloomy face and frowned deeply, Yuntang hesitated for a moment and said, "I saw her at my grandfather's house on the eighth day of the first lunar month. She was fine."
"Although I didn't see her on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, I didn't hear that she was sick. She just used illness as an excuse to not want to see me."
"It's not even a month yet, how come he's so seriously ill? There must be a reason that's not just a cold."
"If the doctor can't find the cause, how can he cure her disease?"
"If she insists on making trouble, she will have to bear the consequences herself. If anyone can take care of her, it's only my father. If he can't, then my grandfather will take care of her."
"It's not my turn to take care of her. She's dead. As a Taoist priest, I won't wear mourning for her. At most, I'll go to offer condolences and see if there's any evil spirit that needs to be cleared."
"As for the Feng Shui issues regarding the burial site, you can consult Tianji Pavilion. I will ask Tianji Pavilion to give you some discounts."
"Father, you can take this message back to her. It's up to her whether she lives or dies. Every time she does something naughty, the karma between her and me fades a little. I wish I could sever my connection with her as soon as possible."
Yuntang made it clear that this matter was not her business and that Princess Kangning's life or death had no impact on her.
But what she didn't say was that her master had long anticipated that Princess Kangning was plotting against her, her biological daughter, and her sudden illness was just a backlash.
How can an ordinary person calculate the fate of a great Heavenly Master?
In her previous life, Princess Kangning used her fetal hair to find an evildoer who cursed her to death.
In this life, she got her hair back as soon as she returned to Beijing. Princess Kangning couldn't find a medium to curse her, so she probably used something of her own as a medium.
The effect is naturally not as good as her fetal hair, and her strength is now above the peak of the Heavenly Master Realm. How can an ordinary Taoist priest calculate her?
If anyone can easily cast a curse to harm others, wouldn't all those who practice Taoism be in danger?
