Chapter 31: Feudal Superstition Is Unacceptable

Li Xuan listened attentively and immediately figured out what Yu'er was muttering.

"Please forgive me, Concubine Xiao. It's not that I'm being negligent, but we are in financial difficulty in Jingyang Palace and can't come up with anything better."

"These things will have to be given to His Highness later. Please don't blame me, please don't blame me..."

Li Xuan couldn't help but understand that Yu'er was paying tribute to Concubine Xiao.

Speaking of which, Yu'er was also loyal and righteous.

Even after Concubine Xiao passed away, she never forgot her master and would secretly pay tribute to her like this. She was really thoughtful.

Li Xuan had just affirmed Yu'er's loyalty, but when he heard Yu'er's next words, he couldn't help but feel dizzy.

"It's not that Yu'er is overthinking, but I've been feeling tired lately, and there seems to be so much work in the palace that I can't finish it, so I want to ask the Queen to check if the previous blessing has expired."

"If it has expired, Yu'er wants to extend it."

"The Queen's spirit in heaven, please bless our Jingyang Palace."

"If you need anything, please send a dream to Yu'er."

"The Queen's blessing, the Queen's blessing..."

Then Yu'er prayed over and over again, in short, she wanted to renew her blessing.

In recent days, Li Xuan has been running to Yanqu Hall every day, and the work in Jingyang Palace is not as focused as before.

But I didn't expect that Yu'er has become so lazy in just a few days that she doesn't even want to work.

"Stinky girl!"

"You've been thinking about crooked ways every day, let's see if I can help you with work in the future."

Li Xuan was angry at her for not fighting, and then took out a copper coin that he had wanted to hide and threw it in directly.

A cry of pain came from the room behind him, and Li Xuan left without looking back.

…

An hour later.

"I finally softened my heart."

Li Xuan sighed and arrived at Yanqu Hall later than usual.

He was bored and collapsed on the wall, watching the talented people singing and dancing, and occasionally listening to some gossip to relieve his boredom.

It's not that he couldn't understand Yu'er's behavior of "opening an altar to worship ancestors" in the morning.

After all, it was originally a day to pick up silver coins every day and didn't have to work.

But suddenly he was downgraded to picking up copper coins and had to work.

No matter who it is, it's inevitable to panic.

Especially Yu'er still firmly believed that this was the blessing of Empress Xiao, so he was even more worried about whether he had upset Empress Xiao.

"So, feudal superstition is not good."

Li Xuan stretched his waist and stretched his muscles and bones, crackling.

The power absorbed last night still remained in his body, moisturizing his body with a cool feeling.

He could feel that his body, which had not changed for a long time, was getting stronger again.

"If I practice the Blood-Slaying Tiger Claw again tonight, I should be able to improve my progress more than the original progress."

Li Xuan was in a good mood after solving the problem of cultivation, and he couldn't wait to practice the technique.

But he had to wait until the evening to practice, and it would be best to practice with Deng Weixian.

This way, he could not only hide his tracks, but also learn from others' strengths and weaknesses to see if there were any problems with his practice.

The most important thing was Deng Weixian's godfather.

Li Xuan didn't want to miss any opportunity to contact this person.

This person's words or things he took out casually could bring them huge benefits.

Although Li Xuan was following Deng Weixian to benefit from it, it was nothing considering that he helped him take care of his sister.

It was still a long time before the evening.

During the day, he should continue to enjoy life honestly.

Is there anything more enjoyable than watching the youthful girls singing and dancing in front of him?

To some extent, Li Xuan can already enjoy some emperor-level treatment.

Recently, he could not eat the imperial meal, which led to a decrease in his food treatment. He had to make up for it in other ways.

After just watching the wall for a whole morning, he found that the talents today did not seem as lively as before.

The atmosphere in Yanqu Hall was also a bit low.

"What's going on?"

"It seems that everyone is not in a good mood today?"

"I was late once, did I miss something important?"

"It's all the fault of Yu'er, that stinky girl!"

Li Xuan put all the responsibility on Yu'er, waving his meow fist to express his dissatisfaction.

But little girls can't hide things, especially these talents who have just entered the palace.

After they left their families, the loneliness in their hearts became more obvious.

Therefore, the sisters around them who shared the joys and sorrows became the best objects of confession.

This is why there are so many gossips in Yanqu Hall.

When it was time for a break at noon, as expected, they talked about today's abnormality.

Li Xuan immediately pricked up his ears and listened carefully.

"Have you heard about what happened last night?"

"Of course, the news spread in Yanqu Hall this morning. It's really scary!"

"How come there's a ghost here?"

Li Xuan was stunned and a little surprised.

"Haunted? How come I don't know?"

He wandered around Yanqu Hall from morning till night every day. Nothing should be hidden from him.

Especially at night, he would wait for Xiaozhuo to come back and sleep before leaving Yanqu Hall.

To be honest, there shouldn't be anyone in Yanqu Hall who can stay up late than Li Xuan.

Li Xuan continued to listen with curiosity.

At first, it was just two talented people whispering together, but their talk attracted more people.

"You've heard it too, right? There's a ghost wandering in the front hall at night, right in our room. How can we dare to sleep at night from now on?" Someone complained, obviously she was timid.

"Is it true? Did I see it wrong?" Someone was doubtful and worried.

"It's so widespread, it must be true, but it's hard to say whether it's a human or a ghost." Some people hold a rigorous attitude.

Anyway, after all these discussions, whether people believe it or not, everyone's emotions are inevitably a little panicked.

Li Xuan's eyes turned, and he already understood the cause and effect, and he also had a rough guess in his mind.

"Could it be that Xiao Zhuo was seen?"

"Yes, he has become more and more unscrupulous recently, and it's only a matter of time before he is discovered."

For a moment, Li Xuan could only think of this possibility.

If Xiao Zhuo was finally arrested, it would be his own fault.

This guy's hobby is really too perverted, and catching him is also a way to get rid of harm for the people.

Just as the talents were whispering and spreading panic, the seal room eunuch of Yanqu Hall brought people here.

The originally buzzing hall was immediately silent.

But although they stopped the original topic, the emotions in the crowd could not be dissipated immediately.

Eunuch Yinfang glanced around coldly. No one dared to make eye contact with him. They all lowered their heads obediently, eating and drinking.

The atmosphere on the scene was like a teacher in the classroom looking for someone to answer a question.

No one dared to challenge him.

But Eunuch Yinfang, like the teacher in the classroom, had no intention of letting them go.

He said to everyone in a cold tone:

"Whoever spread the lies, stand up!"
