Chapter 39: Confusing the Crowd
"Don't worry, the little lord has already informed Lord Lu, the letter I received this morning said that a suitable candidate has been found, and it is estimated that the rumors have spread at this time." Lu Wensheng, the prefect of Chuzhou, is Shen Zhong's fellow disciple, and has always respected Shen Zhong, but whenever he asks for something, he must respond to it, and Shen Zhong also has a lot of support for this junior brother. This time, Shen Xiaoxiang asked Lu Wensheng to find a well-known folk monk in Chuzhou, the Mage of the Fog Hidden Girl, and asked her to spread the reason for the great drought in the south The reason is that a demon star has been born, and this demon star is by the side of the Son of Heaven, and the demon star will not come except for Ganlin. This rumor spread in Chuzhou on the day of the opening of the imperial army, and when Xian Yuanhong arrived, it had already spread to the sky.
"The things are ready, and they will be secretly delivered to her as soon as the Mage of Fog Hidden enters Yong'an." Some people can't help but wonder, just to get rid of a little picker, why is it so bothered? If it were someone else, she would naturally not work so hard, but in order to gain Fang Yushan's complete trust, she had to fully demonstrate her intelligence and strength to Fang Binshan. Gaining Fang Yushan's trust is not only for the sake of forming an alliance, but of course there is a longer-term plan, but it cannot be declared yet.
"Lord Shen has already arranged manpower at the post station, everything is ready, just waiting for the mage to enter the city. Little lord, please be at ease. "People like Wu Yin who bewitched the public in the face of national disasters should have been killed, but Wu Yin is not an ordinary god, she is also quite famous among the people in the south, and she is very accurate in looking, divination, and measuring the heavens, I have to admit that this person still has some ability, if it is not for his daughter, he is afraid that Qin Tianjian will have a place. It is a matter of the country's blessings and misfortunes, whether Wu Yin is a demon or a clever plan, and please go to the palace to see first, if she can really get rid of the demon and save the drought, the emperor will reward her; If it is all false rumors, it will be severely punished.
Escorted by the soldiers of the Chuzhou Mansion and the wounded guards of the Horse Mansion Amo, Master Wuyin arrived at the largest post station in Yong'an City in early May, and after repairing the post station for a night, he entered the palace early the next morning. After Wuyin entered the palace, Duan Yulin did not immediately announce her audience, but first took her to Fengwu Palace and was interrogated by Feng Wu first. At this time, many concubines who heard the news gathered in Fengwu Palace, waiting for this mage to reveal the true face of Lushan Mountain of the "Demon Star of the Disaster Country".
As soon as Wu Yin entered the hall, everyone was surprised, Wu Yin was not as immortal as ordinary people imagined to be cultivators, she looked even no different from ordinary women, in order not to be rude today, she also deliberately wore a calm palace dress, which made her more like an ordinary palace person. At this time, some people began to scoff, Shao Feixu snorted disdainfully: "Hmph, I thought it was such a powerful character, looking at the appearance, it is not as decent as the flawless real person in the Fahua Palace." โ
"There are many foolish people in the world who judge right and wrong only by what they see." Wu Yin was not afraid of Shao Feixu's royal identity at all, and her dark blue eyes shot a fierce light, making Shao Feixu shudder. After a while, he reacted and was insulted, and Shao Feixu took the case: "Be bold and make up for the people!" Dare to be disrespectful to the concubine! โ
"Sit down." Feng Wu ordered lightly, completely ignoring Shao Feixu's mood swings.
"Queen Mother, she ......" Shao Feixu still wanted to distinguish, but was stopped by Feng Wu's gesture, and Shen Xiaoxiang laughed at her, so angry that Shao Feixu poured tea soup violently.
"What does the mage mean by that we are all ignorant people?" Feng Wu flicked her armor and asked nonchalantly.
"The reason why the world is faint is because it is impregnated by the turbidity of mortal dust. There are many women in the harem, and the yin qi is extremely strong, and the heavy yin qi is also the easiest place for turbidity to gather. What's more, the calamity star from the sky is in the harem, and you can imagine the degree of dimness of the benefactors. Wu Yin's words offended the entire harem, and the faces of several concubines suddenly became unpleasant, and only Li Jingxi couldn't help laughing.
"What is Concubine Zhuang laughing at?" Feng Wu doesn't understand what's so funny about being scolded as a stupid person?
"Back to the queen's mother, the concubine just thinks that the mage's insight is very interesting, but ...... But it makes sense. "Isn't the inner garden of the palace the dirtiest? But no one wants to admit such an obvious fact.
"No further ado. Since the mage is a master, let's talk about the reincarnation of the demon star. Feng Wu was a little impatient, thinking that the emperor was almost out of the court, why didn't he come yet?
Wu Yin walked unhurriedly in front of Xu Ying, folded her hands and bowed, and asked, "This lady lives in the southeast of the palace?" Is there anyone in the palace who has been sick for a long time? Xu Ying nodded in surprise, her Chenqi Palace happened to be located in the southeast of the palace, and Duan Yingping's eye disease had also aggravated since the end of last year. She didn't want this charlatan warlock to have some real talent, she couldn't help but wonder why. Wu Yin didn't sell Guan Zi, and told the cause and effect: "The reason is very simple, the reincarnated demon star is hidden near Niangniang, and the evil aura emitted by this demon star originates from the southeast direction. "The fog is shocking, and there are many palaces in the southeast of the palace - Chenqi Palace, Ming Cui Xuan, Zuiyun Pavilion, Qiutang Palace, Shang Li Xuan, etc. are all in that direction.
"Oh my God! No wonder Concubine Yun was killed and Concubine Chun had a miscarriage, aren't the palaces of the two of them in the southeast? Fortunately, the concubine moved, otherwise the concubine's dragon fetus would not be injured by the evil spirit! Originally, I thought that Shang Lixuan was a blessed land, but I didn't expect ......" Han Qianyu seemed to be very afraid to protect her bulging abdomen tightly, Wen Feng glanced at her quietly, and the corners of her mouth lifted a cold arc.
"That's bad! Isn't the Zuiyun Pavilion where Sister Luo lives dangerous? Now that she is pregnant with a dragon heir, what if she wants to have a mistake? Jiang Lianhuan was very worried about Luo Zixiao's safety.
"Listen to the meaning of the two little masters, the concubines who have been pregnant in the past year have all been concentrated in the palace in the southeast?" Fog Yin asked more.
"Exactly, what's wrong?" Jiang Lianhuan didn't know what to do.
"Naturally, it's not right! This is the demon star! The demon star feeds on dragon energy, and she gathers the dragon breath in one place so that it can be sucked, so that women in the vicinity of the demon star are more likely to conceive. However, these dragon fetuses are only used as a container for the demon star to store dragon breath, and once the embryo forms a demon star, it will begin to suck it, and in the long run, none of these children can be saved, which is probably the root cause of the miscarriage of that concubine. If she doesn't get rid of the demon star as soon as possible, once she is full-fledged, she will run out of dragon breath, and the bloodline of the Son of Heaven will not be able to be inherited, wouldn't this be the severance of the national ancestry? Misty Hide's explanation caused everyone to panic, and now no one doubted her abilities anymore.
"The Queen's Mother...... The concubine is afraid of ......" Luo Zixiao wanted to speak and stopped, Feng Wu understood what she was worried about, so she ordered: "If you are afraid, move to Yunxia Palace; Yun Concubine was also in the Zuiyun Pavilion when she had an accident, so it can be seen that the name is unlucky, so it will be changed to 'Lanyue Pavilion'; You're also pregnant, so why don't you change places? Luo Zixiao got up and thanked her, but Fang Yushan didn't care and said, "Thank you for your kindness, the concubine won't change." First, I got used to living in Mingcuixuan; Second, the concubine's fetal month is older, and it is inconvenient to move the place. Moreover...... Didn't the Mage of Fog Hide enter the palace this time to exorcise the demon star? What is there to be afraid of when the demon star gets rid of the concubine? Everyone felt that it was reasonable, and they all pinned their hopes on Wu Yin.
Just when everyone was talking, Duan Yulin was late.
"The concubines (grass people) visit the emperor, and the emperor is blessed with Jin'an!" Everyone knelt down to greet Duan Yulin.
"No courtesy." Duan Yulin sat on the main seat next to Feng Wu, and as soon as he waved his hand, everyone got up and sat down. Duan Yulin took a closer look at Wu Yin, and felt that there was nothing special about this woman in her thirties, and he didn't know if her prophecy was true or false? Duan Yulin whispered to ask Feng Wu about the situation just now, Feng Wu answered one by one, and Duan Yulin was also quite surprised after listening to Feng Wu's answer, could it be that this Wu Yin is a real master outside the world? The reason why he didn't come to Fengwu Palace immediately after he went down was because he summoned the chief and deputy envoys of Qin Tianjian to interrogate, and the two of them recently found that Ziweixing was slightly dim when they watched the sky at night, but it was not enough to affect the overall situation. After listening to the explanation of the second envoy, Duan Yulin thought that Wu Yin must be a gossip to confuse the public, but after listening to Feng Wu's words, he hesitated a little. Instead of being so entangled, it is better to simply ask her directly, Duan Yulin asked Wu Yin in a serious tone: "You said that the demon star came to my side, that means that there is a person in my harem who is the reincarnation of a demon?" โ
"Back to Your Majesty, exactly." Wuyin replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"Then tell me who this man really is?" Duan Yulin will be skeptical.
"The saint forgives the sin, the grass people don't know this person's name, but they just calculate her birth date. The drought in the south began in April, and this person must have been born in April. However, the grass people had seen this woman's face in meditation, so they painted her appearance on paper and sealed it, and the picture scroll was on the grass people at this time. Wu Yin took out a scroll with a seal attached to it from his sleeve and handed it to Fang Da.
"Hurry up!" Fang Da presented the scroll, and Duan Yulin couldn't wait to open it, only to see that the "demon girl" painted in the picture was his new favorite - Yue Cai Nu! Duan Yulin angrily threw the scroll to the ground, and the scroll unfolded, and all the concubines saw the portrait clearly.
"Yikes! ThisใIsn't this a Yue Cai girl? Shen Xiaoxiang pretended to be taken aback and screamed, and there was an uproar in the hall.
"Nonsense! How can my concubine be a demon? I see that you are a charlatan who is full of nonsense, and he has drawn a random flower to deceive me, trying to claim a reward! Duan Yulin still couldn't believe that Huanyue's little girl would be the reincarnation of a demon star.
"The concubine also doesn't believe that Huanyue will be a demon, she is the concubine's companion, and she followed the concubine at the age of twelve, if she was a demon star as the mage said, wouldn't the concubine have died a long time ago?" Fang Huanshan pretended not to believe it, but in fact, in her heart, Huan Yue was more hateful than the demon star!
"What about dowry? What about friendship since childhood? If she is loyal to her sister, she will not use her sister as a springboard to approach the emperor. She tried so hard to please the emperor, didn't she want to suck the dragon breath of the saint? Didn't Concubine Lan also say that she wasn't a demon? Shen Xiaoxiang rose up to refute and formed a trend of fighting against Fang Yushan.
