Chapter 108: Dangerous Chess
The wind gathered without warning, and before Ayayin, who was trying to feed Lin Ling with the fingertip poison, could react, the whole person was swept out by the wind and fell to the ground. This naturally attracted the attention of others, but when the palace maids landed on Lin Ling's side, they were all stunned, and some even exhaled.
"Phoenix!"
"Divine Bird Phoenix!"
I saw that on the edge of the cradle where Lingling was lying, a beautiful bird was squatting. It's not much bigger than a cat, but it's instantly recognizable, as it's not made of flesh and blood, but crystal clear ice crystals. And looking at its appearance, isn't it the totem phoenix of their Fengqi Empire?
And if it's just a pure ice sculpture of the phoenix, it's just that, but the phoenix's eyes are full of aura, so that people can know at a glance that it is a creature with intelligence.
"What's going on?"
"This ...... Isn't this an immortal family coming? ”
"Quick, go and invite the queen mother!"
At this time, it reflects the quality of people in a world where the existence of immortal cultivators is not a secret, if they see such a phoenix in the general world, the palace maids are afraid that they will be so frightened that their souls will not possess their bodies, or they will bow their heads, but in such a world where there are cultivators, the palace maids are just stunned for a moment, and someone immediately goes to find the queen mother.
And Ayayin, who was overturned, also got up from the ground with difficulty at this moment, she naturally did not die, because Lin Ling deliberately left her hand when he lifted her out.
Looking at the phoenix that was obviously protecting Lin Ling, Ayane's expression changed several times, and finally turned into a decisive one. She was about to roll the poison off her lips with her tongue, but before she could do so, the phoenix, which had stopped at the edge of the cradle, suddenly raised its head and chirped.
"Chirp—"
The clear and loud sound of phoenix chirping resounded throughout the entire Wanxiang Palace, and the ice and snow also covered the entire Wanxiang Hall at this moment, but it did not hurt the people in the meantime - except for Erwuzai Ayayin.
If the other palace maids were just frightened by this sudden change, they themselves were not affected by the slightest impression of the ice and snow, at most they just felt cold. Ayane, on the other hand, found that she couldn't move at the same time as the chirp sounded, and the bone-chilling coldness enveloped it in an instant. For a moment, she couldn't do anything other than think.
"What's going on?"
The queen mother broke into the palace with an anxious face at this moment, and although the accident just now did not hurt her in the slightest, it also scared her enough.
And after seeing the phoenix on the edge of the cradle, the queen's heart fell into her throat. Even if the phoenix is the totem of the Fengqi Empire, it is the auspicious rui that the Fengqi Empire has worshiped for generations. But as the so-called concern is chaotic, the worried queen mother cares about what is auspicious and ominous at this moment, but she is extremely worried about her own children who are still in swaddling clothes.
"Chirp—"
The phoenix over there suddenly chirped again, and then turned its head and hit Lin Ling's body again, and the queen mother's heart almost stopped beating when she saw this scene, and she rushed forward almost desperately.
However, before the queen mother could pounce on Lin Ling's side, she saw that the phoenix disappeared the moment it hit Lin Ling, as if it was one with Lin Ling.
"Ran'er...... Ran'er ......"
The queen mother, who was a step late, hugged Lin Ling, and she nervously checked Lin Ling's body, her fingers were a little trembling.
Fortunately, to the relief of the queen mother, Lin did not look like she had been injured, and even her body temperature was normal.
If it weren't for the ice and snow that still existed in the Wanxiang Palace, the queen would even think that she had just hallucinated.
"It's okay...... It's okay......" The queen mother, who was finally relieved, hugged Lin Ling tightly, and then she had time to think about what had just happened.
Phoenix...... Why is it peaceful......
Could it be ......
The queen's expression changed a few times, and she had said before that the Kyushu Continent was a continent of immortal cultivators who justifiably existed, but it did not mean that they had no faith.
There are still many people on the Kyushu continent who believe in the existence of gods, and it can even be said that it is precisely because of the existence of immortal cultivators that many people firmly believe that gods and immortals exist.
This is not a contradiction.
In addition to the gods, individual countries also believe in the existence of Rui Beasts and Divine Beasts. For example, the Fengqi Empire believes in the phoenix and firmly believes in the existence of the phoenix.
Of course, the queen mother not only thought of the possibility that her child might be blessed by the phoenix, she also thought of another point.
If her child is really sheltered by the phoenix, does it mean that her child has the qualifications of an immortal......
……
No, it should be said that her Ran'er must have been sheltered by the phoenix!
A dark color flashed in the queen's eyes, and she suddenly said to the palace maid beside her: "Aunt Yun, go and invite Your Majesty over!" There is also the Queen Mother, please come over the Queen Mother! ”
The queen mother knows that such a big thing in the palace today must not be hidden from other people's eyes, especially Her Royal Highness the eldest princess who is almost single-handedly covering the sky in the palace now.
Since this is the case, let's turn passive and active, and make the matter of her emperor being protected by the phoenix real.
And as long as this matter is confirmed, it can be shown that her Ran'er is the son of the auspicious Rui of the Fengqi Empire given to them by God, then it is possible for her Ran'er to be protected by the Queen Mother.
The eldest princess is indeed good at covering the sky in the palace, but this is also the result of the queen mother's acquiescence.
The emperor and Her Royal Highness the eldest princess are both children of the queen mother, and it is precisely because of this that when Her Royal Highness the eldest princess does not explicitly endanger the emperor's life, the queen mother will turn a blind eye to the fact that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess will take the emperor's empty side - because for his old man, there is not much difference between who is in power with these two children.
But if it can be confirmed that her Ran'er has the protection of the auspicious phoenix, then there is a great possibility that her Ran'er will be protected by the Queen Mother.
The queen has never underestimated the queen mother who now lives in the deep palace, as if she is not interested in everything. If she could really get her shelter, her situation would be much safer.
And if she can sit on her throne and be protected by the phoenix, she will be able to win the public opinion, even if only some ministers believe this, it will be a good thing for them.
But......
The queen's eyes fell on the only frozen Ayane in the room, what a smart person she was, if she didn't realize that the phoenix was sheltering her child because she cared about it just now, then how could the queen mother, who is now aware of this, not see Ayane's problem.
"Find out what's on her!" The queen mother then commanded to the left and right.
Immediately, a palace maid and eunuch responded and dragged Ayane down.
And Lin Ling, who was lying in the arms of the queen mother, was half-blind.
Naturally, his actions just now were deliberate...... Although the language is not very clear, through the observation of these days, Lin Ling also roughly understands that the phoenix is roughly the totem of this country.
So he simply deliberately created this scene blessed by the phoenix.
Lin Ling admits that this is a risky move, especially now that he doesn't understand the language and doesn't know much about the situation.
But since the other party had directly done it to him, Lin Ling naturally would not sit still.
The scene just now not only created the illusion of the blessing of the phoenix, but also had another meaning...... He has the protection of cultivators behind him!
Lin Ling knew that the guy in power might not believe any nonsense about the protection of the phoenix, but as a smart person, she would definitely think too much in the face of this sudden change - this is a common problem of smart people.
And thinking too much can add some non-existent chips to Lin Ling and buy more time.
Similarly, this is also Lin Ling's bargaining chip for his parents.
Now it's up to them to get hold of it!
In the end, Lin Ling hoped to use this behavior to attract the attention of cultivators.
This is the smallest purpose, but if Lin Ling can really attract the attention of some bigwigs with this move, he will not be able to break the game.
Of course, there is danger, and even Lin Ling can't guarantee what kind of risk he will bring by doing so—maybe it will intensify the conflict!
But Lin Ling really didn't plan to sit still, this was not his style.
It's a big deal to go home early this time and come back next time.
I really thought that he had become a baby, and he would be bullied!
