Chapter 85: True and False Goddesses
The queen also knew Lin Ling's words in the second half, stroked Lin Ling's arm, and said, "Men, aren't they all like that?" Three and four days, like the new and hate the old, this harem has three thousand beauties, and the palace is slowly ignored. Ze'er is the prince, and there will be no fewer women in this palace in the future, so you have to adjust your mentality. ”
"The queen mother, the concubine is unwilling." Lin Ling said in the period, "The concubine is the concubine of the palace, but where does she have the appearance of a concubine?" Concubine Chen is the niece of the queen's mother, and the means of managing family affairs are indeed unattainable for concubines, so that's all. But why is the new Concubine Li who has entered the door? It's just that he saved the prince's life, and he actually ...... actually looked down on the concubines inside and outside the words...... And the prince is not even in charge of the concubines! It's better to die under a cliff! ”
If you want to win a woman's favor, you must confide in your heart and get her sympathy first. No matter how powerful the queen is, she is just a woman, and she is still the emperor's woman, and she must empathize with these things.
Indeed, the number of women in the harem is increasing every year, and the emperor handed over some things in the palace to Concubine Xiu to deal with, so that the queen has always been haunted, and Lin Ling did not shy away from expressing her dissatisfaction at this time, and easily shortened the distance between the two. The queen was silent, could it be that this Lin Ling was no longer favored by Long Yuze?
"Queen Mother, I heard that the concubine's best friend Xiaoge is accompanying the queen mother in the Phoenix Eagle Palace, can you ask the queen mother to let the concubine see her?" Lin Ling said in a choked voice, tears hanging on his eyelashes, and he looked at the queen movingly.
The queen smiled: "Since I have summoned you to the palace, it will naturally meet your requirements." But before that, you have to go to a place with the main palace. Someone came, summoned Concubine Li of the Qing Dynasty into the palace. ”
Lin Ling put away his tears and chose to believe the queen's words for the time being. Li Sanmei entered the hall and saluted in a decent manner, and the queen didn't seem to care, she was slightly rewarded with some jewelry and satin, just walked through the motions, and then got up and said: "Set up the Yingtai Tower, and the two of you will go with the palace." ”
"Yes." The two responded in unison and followed the queen out.
Lin Ling became more and more confused, what is going on?
The queen must be suspicious of the two of them at this time who is the real goddess, so she will think of identifying, and those who can identify the two of them are the only national teachers in the dynasty! Lin Ling was shocked, if the national teacher pointed out that she was a goddess, then Xiao Ge would never be able to leave the palace. But if Li Sanmei is a goddess, then ...... The fate of the third sister in the future is unpredictable.
Along the way, Lin Ling's heart became more and more apprehensive, and when she first came to this world, she wanted to ask to see the national teacher, in order to return to modern times. But now that this thought has faded, the queen wants to bring her to the national teacher, if the national teacher tells the queen that she is a goddess sent by heaven, what should she do?
This time, the queen easily entered the Yingtai Tower, and Qingyuan led the three of them all the way upstairs.
"Queen Mother, it's only been a day, and you are here, which is really unexpected by Weichen." Xu Guoshi was dressed in a dark robe, hung his head slightly, and looked at the queen with a respectful face, as if he didn't see the two women following the queen.
The queen smiled and said lightly: "What the palace wants to do, there is nothing that can't be done, since someone brought it, then please ask the national teacher to calculate one or two." ”
Lin Ling only felt that her heart was beating "suddenly", and her palms were full of sweat, and she guessed it.
The purpose of the queen's trip was to discern the authenticity of the goddess.
"Yes, Wechen should do his best." Xu Guoshi responded, a pair of eyes turned to the direction of Lin Ling and Li Sanmei, stayed on the two of them for a long time, and said, "Queen Mother, the divination room needs a very quiet environment, please wait here for Queen Mother, you two come in with me." ”
Lin Ling took a step back imperceptibly, and said timidly: "Queen Mother...... It's dark and weird, what kind of place is it? ”
"This palace won't eat you again, what are you afraid of?" The corners of the queen's eyebrows rose, and she pushed Lin Ling's shoulder, pushing her in the direction of the divination room. Lin Ling staggered, stared at Li Sanmei, who was also frightened, for a while, and walked towards the divination room helplessly. There is absolutely no escape this time, but the only hope is that the master and apprentice of this country have a false name!
Xu Guoshi led the way in front, Qingyuan was waiting for the queen outside, and as soon as Lin Ling and Li Sanmei stepped into the divination room, the thick door was closed, as if they had walked into the bloody mouth of a beast, which was eerie and terrifying.
"Don't be afraid, you just have to sit." Xu Guoshi took out the turtle shell and copper coins and scattered them on the table casually.
Lin Ling and Li Sanmei didn't dare to sit down, staring at Xu Guoshi's every move with concentration. Especially Li Sanmei, she was nervous enough when she entered the palace for the first time, and she was brought into such a strange room for divination, saying that it was false not to be afraid. But she couldn't do anything, so she could only snuggle up to Lin Ling tightly.
"National teacher, dare to ask you what is this divination, is there anything I can help with?" Lin Ling's heart has been hanging in his throat, this kind of waiting torment is comparable to Ling Chi's execution, it is better to take the initiative to attack, or to probe the bottom of the national teacher and seek a glimmer of life for himself.
Xu Guoshi carefully studied the turtle shells and copper coins on the table, picked them up one by one and put them in the palm of his hand, and then walked to the windowsill, raised his palms to look at the light outside, and behaved extremely strangely. After estimating a cup of tea, he turned around and said lightly: "You, come in with me." ”
He was looking at Lin Ling, and he was also referring to Lin Ling, Lin Ling was stunned for a while, and hurriedly took a step back, wanting to grab the door and go out.
"Outside the house is the queen's mother, do you think you can escape this disaster if you go out?" Xu Guoshi's voice was extremely indifferent.
Lin Ling's heart trembled, and he slowly retracted his steps, hanging his head low.
"National Teacher...... I...... Can I go in in for the Princess? Li Sanmei's voice kept trembling, but she still insisted on saying this. The prince's feelings for the princess are extraordinary, helping the princess is helping the princess, even if it is death, it is worth it.
The national teacher glanced at her lightly: "You are waiting here, I will call you in if there is something." ”
This divination room has a cave, and there is another room when you go inside. This is a small study, full of books, Lin Ling glanced at it, and what he saw were weird books such as "Astrology" and "Strange Tribulation". Before she could see clearly, the room suddenly remembered the sound of "squeaking", and the floor under her feet suddenly sank, very calm, so that Lin Ling would not scream.
"How? How does it feel? Xu Guoshi asked lightly on the side.
Lin Ling held on to the railing next to him: "I don't know where we're going?" ”
As soon as the words fell, the plank under his feet stabilized, and the plank in front of him shrank one after another, revealing a bright and spacious secret room in front of him.
It's a bit like taking an elevator.
Xu Guoshi was the first to come out and looked back at Lin Ling: "Didn't you think of anything?" ”
Lin Ling didn't understand what Xu Guoshi was referring to, shook his head, and looked around.
The secret room was empty, but there would be something covered with a white cloth a few meters away, and as for what was under the white cloth, Lin Ling was a little interested. But at this time, she should be more concerned about why she came here, and whether this national teacher has calculated any results.
The national teacher walked to the nearest table, slammed off the white cloth, and looked back at Lin Ling with a smile.
"This ...... How can there be such a thing here? Lin Ling walked over incoherently, reached out and touched the model of the airplane that should not have appeared in this world, bent down and exclaimed while touching, it was too similar, this model of the plane was many times more exquisite than the one sold in the modern mall.
However, how can there be such a thing that exists in modern society here?
Come to test her?
Wrong...... If you want to test her, you should also know that she is from that world, and that person should have lived in that world before, otherwise how could he create such a delicate model of an airplane? Lin Ling slowly straightened up, squinted at the national teacher in disbelief, and covered his mouth in astonishment when he saw that the smile on the national teacher's lips was getting bigger and bigger.
She just thought that the equipment leading to the secret room was like an elevator, and she thought that this was made by the national teacher imitating a modern elevator, right?
"Look at your expression, I know I've found the right one!" Xu Guoshi shrugged his shoulders, casually uncovered all the white cloths one by one, and looked at Lin Ling with his chest around his chest at the very end, "Look at it, in addition to airplane models, there are also car models, yacht models, telephone models, and so on...... You come from the same modern society, and so do I, but when I came here, it was Daewoo Province more than ten years ago. ”
It's just another village!
Lin Ling looked at the exquisite model in front of him, his heart blossomed, and he jumped up and ran in front of Xu Guoshi, laughing and said, "It turns out that he is a fellow practitioner!" National teacher, we are fellow countrymen! Isn't it all about the fact that the fellow sees the fellow and has tears in his eyes? National teacher, I am so happy to be able to meet people in modern society in ancient times......" Lin Ling spoke incoherently, as if the crisis had been resolved.
Xu Guoshi also smiled, picked up the car model in his hand with one hand, frowned and said: "I have spent all my time to make many models, and I always hope to make them in this world, but they are all useless." Ancient times were too backward, and even with the full support of the emperor, it was impossible to create advanced tools for modern society. ”
There was a slight resentment in Xu Guoshi's words, and Lin Ling was on the verge of excitement, and he didn't hear it at all, and he didn't bother to care about these models. She stretched out her hand and pressed Xu Guoshi's shoulder, and said happily: "Tell me quickly, what is the matter with the goddess?" How do you know I'm a goddess? ”
"Goddess?" Xu Guoshi suddenly hooked the corners of his mouth contemptuously, "The thinking of the ancients was simple, and they believed in the reincarnation of heaven and earth very much, I just said it casually, and the emperor believed it." However, it's a good thing, I found you earlier than expected, and it's not a bad thing. ”
"What do you mean?" Lin Ling frowned and said in disbelief, "You said that the 'goddess' was made up by you?" Do you know how much pain it hurts me just because you made it up? ”
"Princess Qing, it's not wrong to call you like that, right?" Xu Guoshi said softly, "If it weren't for the identity of the 'goddess', would you be able to become the princess of Qing?" I'm not hurting you, I'm helping you. Only with the help of the most powerful forces of this era will it be possible to return to modern society! ”
"Back to modern society?" Lin Ling didn't know what kind of emotion was in her heart at this time, "Do you have a way to let us go back?" ”
Xu Guoshi nodded: "As long as the time comes, you can go back when you want to." Because you haven't come yet, I've missed countless good opportunities. Only on the night of the full moon, when the earth and the moon are on the same level, can we enter the space-time tunnel only if we are yin and yang are one. ”
Lin Ling took a step back suspiciously: "Your idea is too crazy!" ”
"How can it be crazy? I've been studying astrology for more than ten years. Xu Guoshi smiled softly, "In modern times, I work in the astrology station, and my daily work is to look at the stars. When I came here, I realized that the knowledge of astrology is vast and profound, otherwise how could I have found you, the same time-traveler, just from stargazing? ”
Lin Ling acquiesced, yes, if what Xu Guoshi said was true, then everything was possible.
Perhaps, it is unknown whether they will be able to go back.
"By the way, why do you have to find me before you can go back?" Lin Ling asked puzzled.
"I also said it just now, because only the unity of yin and yang can enter the space-time tunnel formed by the moon and the earth." Xu Guoshi explained with a smile, the light in his eyes flickered on and off, and Lin Ling suddenly shuddered...... Yin and yang are one, isn't that what you want?
"Don't be afraid, we are all modern people, and we all think about the same thing." Xu Guoshi slowly approached Lin Ling, "I just came more than ten years earlier than you, so I know more than you know." You just have to listen to me, and a return to modern society is just around the corner. According to my observations, the most recent good opportunity is in this year's Mid-Autumn Festival, and there are still three months to go, so let's wait. ”
Lin Ling only felt that Xu Guoshi in front of her was a very crazy man, and she didn't dare to say anything more. Silently continued to take a step back, keeping a distance from Xu Guoshi, and then changed the topic: "There are still three months before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and these three months are also very difficult. The queen mother is waiting outside now, if she knows that I am a goddess, she will never let me go! National teacher, can you think of any way? ”
"Isn't there a false goddess waiting outside?" Xu Guoshi smiled indifferently, slowly covered the model with white cloth one by one, and after finishing, he took Lin Ling to the "elevator", gently pressed the switch, and in less than a minute, the "elevator" reached the top.
"That ......," Lin Ling organized the language, "can you tell the queen that you didn't have a divination result?" ”
Xu Guoshi glanced at Lin Ling lightly.
Lin Ling's heart trembled, and he grinned: "Li Sanmei is my good friend, I can't let her be a scapegoat for no reason." You are also a modern person, and you also know that everyone is equal, we can't be so unfair to Li Sanmei, right? ”
"All I can do is keep you safe." Xu Guoshi was unmoved, "I told you about this in advance, but I just want you to be ready to leave, and don't be overwhelmed and hurt me when the time comes." As for the one outside, it must be handed over to the queen. Otherwise, I have to receive the arrival of the queen every day, which is really inconvenient. ”
Lin Ling was a little speechless, when she learned that the national teacher was also a person who had traveled here from modern times, she was really very happy, and felt that the distance between her and the national teacher had narrowed a lot, and it could even be said that in this era, they were the closest people. But the conversation that followed destroyed all the goodwill little by little, and Lin Ling was afraid of the national teacher. The feeling in my heart was suppressed, and I didn't dare to show it anymore.
Maybe he has been a national teacher for more than ten years, one person is above 10,000 people, and after a long time, he naturally has a sense of deterrence.
Lin Ling comforted himself, followed closely behind Xu Guoshi, and soon arrived at the previous divination room.
"You, come here, choose one of these copper coins at random." Xu Guoshi scattered a large handful of bronze coins on the table, asked Li Sanmei to pick one up, and then closed his eyes and pinched his fingers to count something.
Lin Ling held his hand tightly, and countless consequences were churning in his mind.
What to do? What to do? Just let Xu Guoshi send Li Sanmei to the queen's chopping block like this?
But if you want to keep Li Sanmei, only she herself comes forward to admit that she is the real goddess.
Goddess...... Hehe, Lin Ling sneered, this is a big lie made up, the national teacher wants to say that whoever is a goddess, doesn't anyone have to be the destined goddess? The ridiculous thing is that the most authoritative people in the world believe it, and the emperor, queen, prince, prince and most of the people at the top of the pyramid believe in the words of this national teacher.
What if the queen knew that Li Sanmei was a goddess?
Li Sanmei is still the side concubine that Long Yuze married into the palace, so she can't just kidnap Li Sanmei so openly, right?
Just when Lin Ling's thoughts were in turmoil, the divination over there ended. Xu Guoshi put the copper coin in Li Sanmei's palm, and walked towards Lin Ling faintly, also put a copper coin in her hand, and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "You and I are from the same place, then I will sell you a favor and give you a few days to think about countermeasures, and I can't do anything else." ”
"What do you mean......" Lin Ling asked suspiciously.
But there was no answer, the door of the divination room was opened, and Xu Guoshi walked out first.
"How?" The queen's face was solemn.
Xu Guoshi spread out his palms and said slowly: "Weichen has used copper coins for divination, and the results will be known in three days, and I ask the queen to wait patiently for three days." Three days later, Weichen will ask Qingyuan to go to the Phoenix Vulture Palace in person to inform the queen of the results of the divination. ”
The queen was a little displeased, but she still endured it, nodded, and turned around with Lin Ling and the others.
"This palace will take you to see Miss Ma now." The queen seemed to have something in mind, and said lightly, and sent a palace maid to lead Lin Ling to the wing room at the back of the Phoenix Vulture Palace. Li Sanmei entered the palace with Lin Ling, and although she was fine, she also followed along. It was better to be with Lin Ling than in front of the queen, and her heart was still trembling.
The front of this phoenix vulture palace looks magnificent and magnificent, and when I came to the back wing, I only felt deserted.
"Princess Qing, this is it, you can go in by yourself, the slaves and maids are waiting outside." The palace maid knew how to be polite and stood at the door of the wing room respectfully.
Lin Ling nodded, raised his feet and walked in, and asked Li Sanmei to wait for her in the hall.
No one reported it, Lin Ling crossed the hall, passed through the bead curtain to the inside, and saw people.
