When the convoy returned to the capital through the west gate, the sun had already set and the gloomy sky was filled with dark clouds.
Under the escort of the imperial guards, everyone arrived at the Myriad Herb Hall smoothly. Their journey was smooth.
At this time, there weren’t many commoners on the road, but the lineup of the imperial guards was too large. It was obvious that someone important was going out. The pedestrians passing by on the street and the guests of the nearby restaurants and shops were all attracted.
When they heard that the Eldest Prince and Daoist Xuan Cheng had personally come to the Myriad Herb Hall, everyone was stunned. Now, even the customers in the restaurants and teahouses couldn’t sit still. They all surrounded the Myriad Herb Hall.
After everyone left, more and more people came. It was bustling with activity.
These passersby, who were watching the show, were stopped outside by the royal guards. They could only look inside.
Doctor Wan received Chu Yi and Daoist Xuan Cheng with fear and trepidation. He said helplessly, “Eldest Prince, Spiritual Master, Young Master Hua is lying inside…”
Chu Yi was welcomed to a rose chair by the window and sat down.
Second Young Master Hua was awake, but he was very weak. He was sitting on the couch with a big pillow.
Daoist Xuan Cheng checked Hua Zhao’s pulse. Doctor Wan handed over two things. One was the teacup for Hua Zhaosheng, and the other was the purple pouch with the talismans.
Everyone’s eyes fell on Daoist Xuan Cheng, including Gu Yunrong, who was standing behind the counter not far away.
Daoist Xuan Cheng casually glanced at the teacup that had a few specks of talisman ash left. Then, he looked away and picked up the talisman in his pouch to examine it repeatedly.
“Second Lady Gu is indeed talented.” A smile appeared on Daoist Xuan Cheng’s kind face, and a few wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes. He praised, “This talisman is amazing! Very amazing!”
He stared at the talisman with a burning gaze, unable to look away.
There was a commotion in the crowd that was stopped by the imperial guard. Everyone pricked up their ears and listened. Their eyes lit up as they looked at the sage-like, white-haired, and youthful-looking Daoist Xuan Cheng.
Most of them had heard that at noon, an unconscious Young Master Hua was sent to the Myriad Herb Hall. Later on, someone kept saying that this Young Master Hua had been harmed by Second Lady Gu’s talisman.
But now, listening to Daoist Xuan Cheng’s praiseful tone, why didn’t it seem like that!
“Spiritual Master, what’s so amazing about this talisman?” Chu Yi asked casually.
Daoist Xuan Cheng studied the winding runes on the talisman paper again before putting it down. He said concisely, “This talisman can stop the Hua family’s evil technique.”
Even Han Zhanghe had guessed this when he was at Wuliang Temple. Now that he heard Daoist Xuan Cheng confirm it himself, he still felt ashamed.
The commoners gathered outside immediately and became noisy.
A young woman in the crowd shouted, “Second Lady Gu didn’t harm anyone, right?”
“No, Second Lady Gu didn’t harm anyone!” Daoist Xuan Cheng smiled slightly. His voice wasn’t loud, but it clearly reached everyone’s ears outside.
At this moment, the sky was already dark. Candles were lit in the front hall, and the faint candlelight enshrouded this old Daoist with silver hair and a beard, making him look even more dignified. He was even more dignified than the statues of the Dao Masters of the Three Pure Ones enshrined in the Daoist temple.
He flicked his horsetail whisk gently, and a 10-year-old Daoist child who was accompanying him understood.
The little Daoist boy quickly walked to the entrance of the Myriad Herb Hall and vividly told him the truth of the entire matter. He even said that Master Hua and his wife, who had harmed someone, had already been sent to the capital by the Eldest Prince.
Hua Zhao, who was lying on the couch, originally thought that Daoist Xuan Cheng had been invited by the Eldest Prince to save his life. At this moment, he realized that his parents had actually been sent to the government office.
His face instantly darkened, and even his lips were pale. He was in a panic and didn’t know what to do.
The onlookers outside the Myriad Herb Hall were like a pot of boiling water, discussing animatedly.
An old woman said excitedly and angrily, “This is too vicious. I’m afraid this isn’t only to use evil arts to strengthen their family, but also to kill for money!” “If this person dies, the dowry will belong to the Hua family!”
“It’s just killing for money!” Another young man in gray slapped his thigh. “He’s short of money, that’s why he wants to marry a daughter-in-law and take away their dowry! Isn’t he a beast?!”
To these ordinary people, it was obviously much easier to understand the dowry of a greedy daughter-in-law. Everyone became even more indignant after thinking about it.
After scolding her, someone exclaimed happily, “As expected, I knew that Second Lady Gu was a kind little immortal. How could a little immortal harm people!!”
When the others heard this, they also cheered for Second Lady Gu. Most of them praised her.
Amidst the praises for Second Lady Gu, Chu Yi’s lips curled up, and a dazzling light flowed in his eyes.
“Han Zhanghe.” Chu Yi looked at Han Zhanghe with a gentle expression. His voice was steady and had a kind of pressure. “What other doubts do you have?” “Now, do you still want to continue complaining?”
Chu Yi’s last sentence was directed at the other students present.
Han Zhanghe and the other students were so ashamed that they wished they could dig a hole and hide in it. Not only were they too ashamed to face Chu Yi, but they were also too ashamed to face the commoners outside.
Han Zhanghe and his classmates couldn’t help but think of a girl who had reprimanded them indignantly in a nearby tea shop at noon.
“To think that after reading so many books, you only know how to follow the crowd. I think the more you read, the more confused you become!”
“People like you are people who have passed the imperial examination. In the future, when you go to a place to be an official, you will only create some false and wrong cases to harm others and yourself!”
The girl’s words were still ringing in their ears. At that time, they felt that she didn’t know what was going on. Now that they thought about it, they felt that what she said was pertinent.
They were really boolworms. They felt that their talents were superior to others, but in fact, they only knew how to study. They were so stupid that they were led by the nose by others with just a few words. They had let down the years of guidance of the academy.
Han Zhanghe raised his head with difficulty. With a hot face, he said in shame, “Your Highness, we’re not suing.”
Chu Yi smiled slightly and said, “Emperor Taizu once said that without investigation, you have no right to speak.”
Ordinary people might not know this, but all the students present knew.
Emperor Taizu said that without investigation, one had no right to speak. Without proper investigation, one also had no right to speak.
The students were all deep in thought. They felt that the Eldest Prince was trying to enlighten them.
That’s right. If they had personally gone to the Lu family and the Hua family to investigate the entire matter before complaining, they wouldn’t have placed themselves in such a predicament.
The students said in unison, “Your Highness is right! Thank you for your guidance!”
They looked at Chu Yi with admiration in their eyes. Although their Eldest Prince was young, he was capable. He had the courage of Emperor Taizu and was kind-hearted. It was a blessing to have such an heir to the throne!
Chu Yi slowly looked around at everyone and said, “Yes.”
After a pause, he said even more slowly, “It’s the same for Gu Ce!”
These words were like a thunderclap that suddenly exploded in the sky. The surroundings were silent for a moment..
