Chapter 262 - The Crown Prince’s Mansion
Chapter 262: The Crown Prince’s Mansion
A group of people gathered together and murmured many bad things about Xie Qiao.
However, Xie Qiao could not hear them and did not raise her head to look at them for a long time.
After sitting for a while, she spoke to Fang Muxue and the rest, then found a palace maid to show her around.
She said she was going to take a stroll, but in reality, she was looking at the feng shui layout of the Crown Prince’s palace.
It was just that she had encountered quite a few lonely ghouls along the way, and one of them would suddenly hovered in front of her, scaring her out of her wits.
The location of the East Palace was definitely auspicious. The purple clouds came from the east, and it was the best location. However, there was indeed quite a bit of trouble within the palace.
The palace maid was ordered to show Xie Qiao around, so she followed obediently and pointed out the rooms in the East Palace to Xie Qiao one by one.
“That’s where the palace maids and eunuchs live, but… because the Crown Prince hardly lives in the palace and accidents often happen in the mansion, many of the people in there have been condemned and sent away. Today, these are the people that His Highness asked the Imperial Household Department to transfer at the last minute,” The palace maid pointed to a place and said.
Xie Qiao swept her gaze over it, and her eyebrows sank.
There were two more doors on the east and west, and many people had died in there.
The courtyard was filled with shock and conflict, and it was not auspicious.
“This door is opened at the back?” Xie Qiao walked to a corner and asked.
“Yes, it’s convenient to serve the master this way, ” The palace maid hurriedly nodded.
“Is there an extra room there? It’s not quite the same as the other rooms,” Xie Qiao pointed to the room in the servant’s courtyard.
The palace maid was stunned for a moment, and after snapping back to her senses for a while, she said, “The year Your Highness was in trouble, the Emperor was worried that he didn’t have enough people to take care of him, so he sent more people over. It was hectic that time, so he built an extra room here side by side.”
Xie Qiao did not say anything. She secretly memorized it by heart.
The construction was built in a good location, three to five rooms side by side. It was considered good feng shui. If it was seven or nine rooms, it would still work. However, if it was an even number, the number of four to six to eight was bad luck.
Nine to five was the most revered. The middle of the houses side by side was Yang, and the two sides were Yin. It also sought for a symmetry. However, the rooms here looked like an extra piece, and the Yin and Yang were in chaos.
“Many people have died here, right?” Xie Qiao asked.
The palace maid nodded with a complicated expression. “In the East Palace, accidents happen every two or three days. There were often sick palace maids being carried away. There were also those who fell into wells and died. Your Highness’ kitchen has been on fire twice. There are always troubles. Your Highness has no choice but to live in the academy.”
Over the years, every time something happened, the ministers outside would get the news and blame it all on His Highness, saying that His Highness was not worthy of his position and that His Highness was crippled to take up the position of Crown Prince was not in accordance with heaven’s will.
Xie Qiao only saw that there was a grave in the servant’s courtyard.
Although it was called a grave, it was actually not protruding. There was even a tree planted on top of it. However, dark energy was emitting, clearly forming a unique murderous aura.
As it was buried in the soil, no one could see it.
In addition, the location of the well was initially not a problem. However, after the construction was changed, the location became bad luck.
A person’s mind would be dull in the dark night. Standing at the location of the well, one could see the slightly pockmarked area under the room opposite.
If it was the day after the rain, the reflection of the water pit would be dazzling. If a person was in a trance for a moment, it would be normal for them to step on the wrong foot and fall into the water.
In addition, she also took a look at the Crown Prince’s courtyard.
As if to show her affection, there were many glazed windows in the Crown Prince’s courtyard.
It was not that the glazed windows could not be used, but there was a need to pay attention to the number of them.
If there were too many, or if the location was bad, they would collide with each other, and the light would turn into something evil, leading to a disaster.
Most importantly, the East Palace had also offended the white tiger devil.
The upper right side of the entire palace had been changed into a garden. That place should not have been changed, but every spring, the soil had to be turned over. This had ruined the good feng shui of the entire palace, causing the yin and yang in the entire East Palace to be unbalanced, and the aura to be completely disordered. That was the reason why there were frequent accidents in the palace.
