On their wedding night, she burned down the Prince Regent's palace.

Chapter 25 What Happened to Moon Worshipers

Ye Zhiyu remembered more things about General Yun Qi of Zhenxi.

In fact, the Yun family was not originally a general, or the dozens of generations of the Yun family had nothing to do with military generals. With the exception of Yun Qi, the entire Yun family were all civil servants.

This is also the reason why Yun Qi has made outstanding military exploits in recent years, and has a posture that has shocked the master, but he can still walk safely in the capital with the military talisman in hand.

The Yun family has a very shallow foundation and cannot be ranked among the many aristocratic families in the capital. It owes its current reputation to a relative of Yun.

The most threatening person in the entire Yun family is Yun Qi.

If Yun Qi really had a conflict with the imperial power, his family would be full of civil servants and could not compare with a real family of generals.

It was also for this reason that the Queen Mother dared to use Yun Qi as the general to control the west with confidence.

But the Queen Mother Party did not expect that Yun Qi and Feng Wuming would get closer and closer in recent years.

It would not be so easy for her to control the Yun family as before.

Ye Zhiyu thought as he came to Mrs. Yun.

"Mrs. Yun, do you still remember when you started having nightmares?"

Mrs. Yun looked at the young woman in front of her. She was plainly dressed and looked so ordinary that she might be forgotten in the blink of an eye.

This is really not 01:30 different from the image of a master in her mind.

Listening to Ye Zhiyu speak, she couldn't help but have doubts in her heart.

But out of trust for her son, Mrs. Yun did not show any emotion, nodded friendly, and answered very cooperatively:

"About one night more than a month ago..."

"Before I fell asleep that day, my heartbeat was suddenly different from usual. I always felt very uncomfortable, so I went to bed early. From that night until now, I have nightmares every night..."

At this point, everyone around Mrs. Yun had sad expressions on their faces.

For more than a month, Mrs. Yun has been awakened in the middle of the night every day, and as soon as she wakes up, she will cry uncontrollably for a long time.

Everyone in the entire courtyard was also tortured.

What's more, Mrs. Yun doesn't sleep well or eat well every day. Her complexion is getting worse day by day, and now her health is getting worse.

If this goes on for a long time, you will get sick even if you are not sick.

Everyone in the Yun family was extremely anxious.

Ye Zhiyu thought for a moment and then continued to ask: "Then, Madam Yun, was there anything different about the night of the first nightmare?"

"It's different..." After hearing this, Mrs. Yun really recalled it carefully, and then she suddenly thought of something. She immediately raised her head and said, "That day is the fifteenth day. According to custom, our Yun family will place a small case on the stone table in the yard. It is a sacrifice." Ancestor, I also worship the moon.”

"NO.15, that is to say...that night was a full moon night."

Having said this, Ye Zhiyu frowned slightly, and his expression finally changed.

Her eyes suddenly became serious, she turned to look at Yun Qi, and whispered: "General Yun, please ask the attendants to leave the room. What I am going to say next will not be convenient for others to hear."

When Yun Qi heard this, he immediately understood. He raised his eyebrows calmly, waved to the people around him and said, "You guys go down first."

After everyone in the room left, Mrs. Yun straightened up, feeling a little nervous for no reason.

Yun Qi also looked solemn.

"Master, may I ask how my mother's condition is?" Based on the information Ye Zhiyu obtained after previous inquiries, she actually had a rough inference in her mind, and she was close to [-]/[-].

"Mrs. Yun's nightmare is indeed caused by a witchcraft."

Ye Zhiyu crossed his arms and tapped the corner of his mouth with one hand, thinking as he said, "It's just that the origin of this evil magic is probably a little strange."

It is true that Yun Qi is a straightforward military commander, but he is not a fool either. His acumen from many years of working in the court and on the battlefield made him immediately understand the meaning of Ye Zhiyu's words.

His expression changed, and his expression became particularly solemn.

"Master, what you mean is that someone deliberately used evil magic to harm my mother?"

"Not bad." Ye Zhiyu nodded. "And it's not just to harm your mother, the fundamental purpose is you, the general who controls the west."

"How could this be so..." Mrs. Yun's face turned pale when she heard this, and she murmured in horror.

"On the fifteenth day of last month, can the offerings that Mrs. Yun placed in the yard when she worshiped the moon still be found?"

"This..." Mrs. Yun thought for a while and then shook her head helplessly, "The tributes for worshiping the moon are usually collected and processed the next day. The servants in the yard are in charge of these things. I don't know."

"Besides, there is a lot of food in the tribute, and it cannot be stored for such a long time."

Ye Zhiyu nodded and asked again: "Can Mrs. Yun restore all the items on the altar table on the day of worshiping the moon? It would be best if they are placed in the same position."

"This can still be done. I made the list of tributes myself, and I still roughly remember the specific placement."

Having said this, Mrs. Yun's expression became a little more relaxed.

"I'll let my personal maid Xiaowan handle this matter."

Having said this, Mrs. Yun was ready to greet her maid outside the door.

However, Yun Qi stopped his mother at this time.

Yun Qi's eyes were sharp and he slowly shook his head at Mrs. Yun.

"It seems that General Yun and I have the same idea."

Seeing Mrs. Yun's appearance, Ye Zhiyu was very puzzled, so he patiently explained: "Mrs. Yun, it's best not to let the servants around you know about this matter. I'm afraid it will alert the snake."

Having said that, what else does Mrs. Yun not understand?
Her expression suddenly changed, her eyes filled with disbelief.

"I'm afraid someone may have tampered with the moon worship that night, and the problem most likely lies in these tributes."

"Originally, worshiping ancestors and worshiping the moon is a good thing to pray for happiness and blessings, but if the form and direction of the worship are deliberately changed, it will turn into an evil ritual that brings disaster to oneself."

As he spoke, Ye Zhiyu gathered his spiritual power and used his spiritual sense to briefly probe Mrs. Yun's forehead, and then confirmed his suspicion.

"As expected, Madam Yun, the person you worshiped in the yard that night was not the moon god at all, but the monster bound here by the earth."

"Monster?!" Yun Qi and Mrs. Yun were both shocked when they heard this.

Mrs. Yun's body is contaminated with a lot of evil spirit, and this evil spirit has a tendency to invade deeper and deeper.

This is very dangerous. If General Yun does not find Ye Zhiyu in time, Mrs. Yun will become the host of this monster in a little while.

If you want to get rid of this monster at that time, Mrs. Yun will have to pay the price with her life...

"That's right." Ye Zhiyu nodded, "And judging from the performance of your nightmare all night long, this monster should be a nightmare."
