Chapter 398 Taoist Priest of Baiyun Temple
"Your Majesty, we don't know what happened. The Queen was fine when she was having dinner, but she became like this after lying down for a while."
One of the palace maids bravely and cautiously explained.
Someone had to stand up and speak at this time, otherwise Li Siqi would definitely vent his anger on them. Everyone knelt in a row nearby, and facing Li Siqi's gaze, no one dared to look him in the eye.
Xu Yingying was still trying to enter her body.
However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't get close. She had used the out-of-body experience before, but she didn't expect to be away for so long this time.
This made Xu Yingying even more anxious.
At the same time, Li Siqi also noticed something was wrong. He felt an extremely familiar soul fluctuation around him, so he waved his hand to disperse the others.
"Yingying, is that you?"
He felt Xu Yingying's breath, but he didn't know if it was his illusion. Xu Yingying was trying hard to get closer to him.
There is no way for him to return to his body by himself, and he must seek help from outside. The most urgent task now is to let Li Siqi figure out his condition as soon as possible.
Only in this way would she have a chance to return. Feeling the coolness on his wrist, Li Siqi was sure that Xu Yingying was by his side.
"What happened? Did someone frame you?"
Li Siqi asked the air in front of him. Although he could slightly feel Xu Yingying's presence, he couldn't be sure where she was exactly.
This is because Xu Yingying's soul has not yet transformed into a lonely ghost like the Chrysanthemum Fairy.
If Xu Yingying is away from her body for a long time, she will become like that sooner or later. She doesn't want to not even have the chance to reincarnate.
Fortunately, Li Siqi made arrangements quickly.
"Don't worry too much. No matter what happens, I will definitely find a way to rescue you, no matter how difficult it is."
"I will quickly gather all the mystics in the world and ask them to use secret methods to help you recover."
Li Siqi's eyes were extremely determined. He could not live without Xu Yingying. Apart from Xu Yingying, there was no room for any other woman in his heart. He had a very perverted possessiveness towards Xu Yingying.
What happened in the palace soon attracted the attention of the entire court. Many ministers learned of Xu Yingying's death. After the initial shock, they had other ideas in their minds. This might be a good opportunity.
With Xu Yingying in the harem, the emperor has rarely taken concubines in these years. Most of the old Chens are very dissatisfied with this matter, but every time they submitted a memorial, it was forcibly suppressed by Li Siqi.
Over time, no one dared to offend him anymore, but now that Xu Yingying had died unexpectedly, perhaps they had a chance to send their own women to the harem.
As long as they can become a favored concubine, they will have the opportunity to go further.
"Someone, go check for me whether what happened in the palace is true or not. Make sure the news is authentic."
"Feng'er, go to the residence of the Censor and deliver this letter. Remember, do not let anyone else see this letter on the way except the Censor."
……
A piece of news whose authenticity has not yet been confirmed is circulating within the capital, and many ministers have secretly made preparations.
Those who have girls of marriageable age in their families who are suitable to be sent to the palace have all dressed up secretly, hoping to be sent to the palace first and not fall behind others. Some have even started contacting their colleagues.
The next morning court session will definitely be very exciting.
Li Siqi seemed unaware of all this. After returning to the imperial study, he immediately asked the eunuchs around him to announce an imperial decree to the outside world.
"Invite all the mystics in the world to come to the capital, and tell them that I have something important to discuss with them."
He did not clearly state what had happened in the imperial edict, but the truth could still be guessed from the vague information revealed.
We still have to make it clear, otherwise few people will respond. If they are worried that this is a conspiracy against them, they will definitely not come.
In comparison, the ministers in the court knew more, and they had probably guessed why the emperor invited all the mystics in the world to come to the capital.
They must stop this from happening, so several old ministers sat together and discussed it, and then prepared to go to the palace to give personal advice.
"Your Majesty, we have heard about the Queen's matter, but it has come to this point and there is no way to save it. Your Majesty still has to take care of state affairs, so don't be too sad. If it affects your health, it will only cause more trouble."
"Lord Song is right. The court has just been settled and the rebellions in various places have just been suppressed. If Your Majesty summons the mystics to the palace at this time, it will inevitably usher in turmoil."
"It would be better for Your Majesty to recruit more concubines and re-establish a queen. Only in this way can the world be stable."
……
In the morning, they spoke one after another and expressed their opinions, but Li Siqi was too lazy to pay attention to them. These old guys had bad intentions.
How could he not know that the other person's virtues seemed high-sounding on the surface, but in fact they were only thinking about themselves.
"Okay, I have made up my mind. You can leave now. There is no point in talking any more."
Li Siqi was determined to save Xu Yingying. No matter who stood in his way today, it would be of no use. If he was really pushed to the limit, no matter who the other person was, he would not mind teaching the other person an unforgettable lesson.
Seeing this, several old ministers were about to continue speaking, but after meeting Li Siqi's eyes, they finally gave up the idea and left the palace in disgrace.
Few people can change the decision he made, and only Xu Yingying can persuade him to change his mind.
In the next few days, Li Siqi stayed in the harem. As for the affairs of the palace, he arranged them all to the ministers under him.
Li Siqi was not afraid that they would take this opportunity to sideline him. As long as the military power was in his hands, it would be useless no matter how much trouble they made.
Xu Yingying's soul is beside Li Siqi. With the contact during this period, Xu Yingying gradually figured out the pattern and she has mastered the skills of simple communication.
As for her own condition, it did not change at all but became worse and worse. She had to find a way to return to her body within seven days. If she missed this time, she would never be able to go back.
Li Siqi's control over all places has now reached a meticulous level. After the imperial edict was passed down, the Xuanists from all over the country rushed to the capital in the shortest possible time. Although it took some time on the road, many people arrived the next day.
"I am Qingweizi, I am honored to meet your Majesty."
"You are welcome, Taoist priest. Baiyun Temple is famous all over the world. I have wanted to visit it for a long time, but unfortunately I have been busy and have not had the time."
There is a Baiyun Temple near the capital, which is famous all over the world. The Taoists there all have real skills, especially Qingweizi, who has made a name for himself in the martial arts world over the years.
