The Lucky Bride Is Pretty And Delicate

Chapter 607 Eyes Hidden In The Dark (Part 3)

Bai Yu nodded and left with the talismans.

Bai Xue looked at Liu Sanniang and finally couldn't help but ask. "Miss Liu, can you give me one of these talismans? I can pay you. Is 50 taels enough?"

Who wouldn't be afraid of the evil thing that appeared in the dark? The talismans drawn by the State Ministers were only given to the consorts. One talisman was worth thousands of gold. The maids naturally could not afford it.

Bai Xue was embarrassed. Before Liu Sanniang could speak, she quickly apologized. "I'm sorry, Miss Liu. Don't be angry. I am just too afraid. I know that your talisman is definitely worth more than 50 taels. I'm sorry. Don't take it to heart."

Bai Xue lowered her head, not daring to look up.

She did not notice that Liu Sanniang had already picked up the cinnabar brush again.

After a while, two talismans were finished. Liu Sanniang folded them and placed them in Bai Xue's hand. "Give one to Bai Yu."

Bai Xue was stunned. She took a few deep breaths before coming back to her senses. She quickly nodded. "Alright, alright. Thank you, Miss Liu. I'll go get the money later."

Although fifty taels was very little, it was all she had.

Liu Sanniang responded calmly. "No need. It's free."

Bai Xue was pleasantly surprised and almost jumped up. She was overjoyed. "Thank you, Miss Liu."

That night, the strange feeling of being stared at was gone.

On the morning of the seventh day of the new year, after breakfast, Liu Sanniang planned to tell the emperor that she was leaving the palace.

A eunuch came to deliver a letter and said that it was from Liu Sanniang's disciple.

Liu Sanniang opened it and saw that it was a letter from Su Yanyu. He asked Liu Sanniang when she would leave the palace and said that he had something to tell her. It was something big.

Liu Sanniang told the emperor about leaving the palace. Xia Bingguang naturally would not stop her. But he urged Liu Sanniang to find that evil thing at all costs.

Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan left the palace.

Xia Bingguang immediately asked the eunuch to go to the Xiande palace and ask Xian Fei to leave him two talismans.

Of course, Xian Fei agreed. There were still more than ten talismans. She would also send one to those who were not on good terms with her. If they did not want it, she would take it back.

When the talisman was sent to the empress, the empress snorted. She had the State Minister's Safety Talisman. Why would she need one from Liu Sanniang?

The empress asked Xia Qiluo who had just entered the palace to see her. "Qiluo, is there anything wrong in the palace?"

Xia Qiluo replied promptly. "Mother, I don't feel anything wrong. I don't know why Liu Sanniang sensed it."

She did not feel any evil things lurking in the dark at all. The palace was not a place where evil things could trespass easily.

The empress said with a smile, "Ever since you carved runes on the palace gate, I feel especially at peace. They feel an evil thing staring at them because they are all guilty."

The runes at the palace gate were engraved by Xia Qiluo. There were runes at the north, south, east, and west palace gates to prevent demons from infiltrating.

Xia Qiluo nodded. "Mother, you are right."

The empress sighed. "Third Prince is gaining momentum lately. His power is getting stronger and stronger. He's even threatening your eldest brother's position as the Crown Prince. The Fourth Prince is a scholar and has devoted himself to studying. He refused to return to the palace for many years. The Second Prince is seriously ill and can't even stand up. The Fifth Prince is useless and is not a threat. The only person who worries me is the Third Prince."

The other princes were too young to threaten Xia Hongyuan's position as the Crown Prince.

The Third Prince was the real threat. Xian Fei was favored, and the Third Prince was ambitious. He successfully built a good reputation for himself among the people after fixing the flood problem.

The empress frowned when she thought of Xia Hongming.

Xia Qiluo said, "Mother, don't worry. As long as Brother doesn't make a huge mistake, Father won't easily take away his position as the Crown Prince. No matter how ambitious the Third Prince is, he can't replace Brother unless he rebels!"

The empress was shocked. "Be careful. Even the walls have ears."

Xia Qiluo smiled faintly. "Mother, don't worry. If the Third Prince really rebels, Father won't let him off."

The empress sighed. "I'm just worried that your father might turn a blind eye to it. Sigh..."

Everyone knew what the Third Prince was thinking. How could the emperor not know?

However, he pretended not to be aware. Before Xia Hongyuan actually succeeded the throne, nothing was certain.

The empress looked at Xia Qiluo and held her hands. "Fortunately, your brother has you."

There was a master beside the Third Prince, but after Hui Zhen was killed, there was no one beside Xia Hongyuan.

Xia Qiluo smiled at the empress. "Mother, don't worry. I won't let anyone harm Brother."

The empress thought of Liu Sanniang. "This Miss Liu always makes me very uneasy. Not long ago, I had a dream about Miss Liu."

Xia Qiluo asked. "What was it?"

The empress said slowly, "In my dream, I saw her doing something. Many people believed in her and were grateful to her, but I saw many ferocious and terrifying faces on her. It was very scary. Corpses were everywhere, and the flames of war were endless..."

The empress shook her head, unwilling to think about it.

Xia Qiluo was a little surprised. "Why would you have such a dream?"

This dream was like a warning.

The empress took a few deep breaths and continued. "Later, when you returned from Jiangzhou, I went to see your shifu. I wanted to ask them why I had such a dream. Could it be that I was thinking too much? When they heard this, their expressions were extremely solemn. They said that Liu Sanniang was a demon."
