"Princess, when I went to fetch water just now, I overheard two soldiers of the Royal Forest Army chatting, saying that the concubines in the palace had recently contracted a strange disease, but the imperial doctors couldn't find out the cause no matter how much they investigated, but they suspected that it was likely to be a disease related to witchcraft spreading in the palace. Since the tragedy of the palace destruction in Concubine Jing's palace, the queen has also suffered an accident, and now other concubines have also begun to fall ill one after another. Because the current imperial doctors in the palace are all men, it is inconvenient to diagnose and treat the concubines in too much detail, so His Majesty has issued a reward for the female imperial doctor, and also requires to be proficient in witchcraft and astrology. When Yanyu and Phantom Lotus and Meng Ling were cleaning the cemetery in a remote corner, Phantom Lotus suddenly whispered very mysteriously, and when she said that, she also showed a look of envy.

"Really? It seems that there have been no female doctors since ancient times, right? Besides, isn't she just a female doctor, but she can live in an official house? can still be on an equal footing with the prime minister, this is too exaggerated, right? Did you hear me wrong? Meng Ling asked with a look of disbelieving.

"It shouldn't be wrong, because one of these two Royal Forest Army soldiers is the nephew of Concubine De, do you think he needs to deceive people? According to Concubine De's secret letter to her father, strange blood-colored symbols appeared on different parts of all the concubines' bodies, and the imperial doctor naturally couldn't check it. said that His Majesty saw it, and he also felt very strange, and always felt that there was a mysterious witchcraft shrouded in the palace. I'm worried that if this goes on for a long time, I don't know how many tragedies will happen in the palace. That's why this time, His Majesty made up his mind and used the conditions of a first-class official to select the first female prime minister in the history of the Lotus Kingdom, and called her a witch doctor. Phantom Lotus explained patiently in a low voice.

"Oh my God! The strange blood-colored symbol on the body is terrifying, right? I don't even dare to go back to the palace! Will it infect our palace maids? Meng Ling asked worriedly.

"It's hard to say, it seems that there is also a palace maid who also appears on her body and face, she is ashamed to see people, and she can't think about it for a while, saying that she committed suicide! Shhhh Because His Majesty was afraid of causing panic in the whole country, he blocked this news, and whoever leaked it would be killed! At that time, the two Royal Forest soldiers also saw that no one else was whispering nearby, but I happened to hear it. I was so scared that I didn't dare to move, and I didn't run back until they left. If they find out about me, they won't kill me to prevent me from leaking the news! Phantom Lotus also said with a scared face.

"The Witch Doctor? Or an official position? On an equal footing with the Prime Minister? Isn't that no one in the palace daring to take care of it? You can go wherever you want! No way! I'm going to find a way to get this position! Only this position can make my wish come true as soon as possible! Yanyu listened to Phantom Lotus's words, and said with a light in his eyes.

"Huh? Princess, do you want to be the prime minister? Meng Ling asked in surprise.

"What are you talking nonsense? How could a princess covet such a worldly position? I think the princess must want to use this identity to find that treasure in the palace as soon as possible, get the fairy kingdom heart method from it, and then return to the fairy kingdom after cultivating the heart method, which is the princess's greatest wish. Phantom Lotus poked Meng Ling's head and counted.

"Nasty! Don't poke me in the head again, or I'll be done with you! Hum! I said, princess, if you really become a witch doctor, transfer me to you to continue to be a personal palace maid. This is the personal palace maid of the female prime minister, isn't that all the delicious food in the world? Princess, okay? I know you love me the most, right? Hee-hee. Meng Ling rubbed her head and said dissatisfiedly.

When mentioning the delicious, I couldn't help licking my tongue, obviously really greedy, and I was also spoiled by the smoke and rain.

"I said Meng Ling, you have disgraced the face of our golden-crowned black-tailed frog clan! I only know how to eat! The prime minister's personal palace maid is not so easy to be, and once the princess is in a high position, she can't make mistakes. You are so cowardly and greedy, sooner or later you will mess up the things that the princess told you, and if you don't say anything about the princess, maybe one day Your Majesty will be angry and make you a roasted frog! Think again. Otherwise, I'll be such a risky personal palace maid, right? Phantom Lotus hated the iron and counted down again, but there was a little more ridicule in her tone, obviously she was also joking with Meng Ling.

"Nasty! Dislike! Dislike! You're the roasted frog! Again, we are noble golden-crowned black-tailed frogs, not ordinary frogs! You don't come to this set! Don't rob me of the position of the prime minister's personal palace maid, otherwise be careful that I bite you! Princess, Phantom Lotus hates it to death, so she knows how to make fun of me and bully me! Princess, are you speaking fairly? Meng Ling gritted her teeth and complained, and complained to Yanyu again.

"Don't make a fuss, I don't have a word about the witch doctor, you two are going to compete for the position of personal palace maid first? Don't worry, you two are my good sisters, once I really become a witch doctor, I will not be able to forget Meng Ling, you little gluttonous cat, when the time comes, I will apply to His Majesty to transfer you over to me as a personal palace maid. It's just that Phantom Lotus, aren't you deeply appreciated by His Royal Highness the Prince? He won't want to let you go. In addition, in my future plans, I can't do without the support of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so staying by his side is the greatest help to me. Yanyu said with a wry smile.

"Thank you, Princess! I knew that the princess loved me the most. As for you, Stinky Phantom Lotus, did you hear the princess's orders? You're going to die fighting with me! Or obediently be your personal palace maid for His Royal Highness the Prince. Hum! If you want to fight with me, there is no door! Meng Ling looked at Yanyu gratefully and said, and glanced at the phantom lotus with a smug look.

"Phantom Lotus obeys orders, everything is up to the princess. As for you, die Meng Ling, don't be complacent, annoy this girl, I just need to blow the wind in His Royal Highness the Prince's ear, say a little bad about you, and let His Royal Highness the Crown Prince beat you fifty boards every day or a piece of cake. Phantom Lotus said respectfully to Yanyu, and scared Meng Ling with a wicked smile.

"Fifty boards a day! You're too ruthless! I'm going to cut off your robe and break off your righteousness! Hum! Meng Ling said angrily, then pursed her mouth and ignored the phantom lotus.

"Hmmm! Seeing you angry, I feel so much better. Ha ha. By the way, princess, you don't really want to go to the emperor list and participate in the witch doctor female appearance, do you? You're definitely one of the best at this medicine, but you're not good at witchcraft and astrology, are you? Seeing that Meng Ling really ignored her, Phantom Lian said with a smug smile, smiling and smiling, suddenly remembered something, and asked with a serious face.

"Yes, princess, you were able to let me and Phantom Lotus who were on the verge of death survive, this medical skill is absolutely unmatched, but this witchcraft and astrology are too illusory and profound, are you sure to pass Your Majesty's assessment?" Meng Ling saw that Phantom Lotus was down to business, and also asked solemnly.

"It is precisely because witchcraft and astrology are too illusory and profound, and very mysterious, that there are too few people who really understand it, as long as I can understand His Majesty's mind and say what is on his mind during the assessment, I will naturally be able to win his approval. Don't forget one more thing, I am the only disciple of Mama in charge, and when His Majesty assesses, he will inevitably ask Mama in charge to temporarily go out to help check the gates. Yanyu analyzed with confidence.

"What the princess said is very true, such an important selection, Your Majesty will definitely ask the lady in charge to preside. Didn't the palace maid assessment be handled by the lady in charge at the beginning? It is also deeply appreciated by His Majesty. It's a pity that the lady in charge is too old to deal with the affairs in the palace for a long time, so she is offering a heavy reward for the position of the witch doctor, presumably to find a strange woman who can replace the lady in charge. Phantom Lotus nodded in agreement.

"That's great! So, princess, it's a sure thing for you to become a witch doctor this time? Then Ling'er congratulated the princess in advance. It's just that the princess, you originally planned to disguise yourself as a man and enter the palace as an ordinary soldier of the Imperial Guards, and you will not usually see Your Majesty, and you will not be recognized easily. But this time, you entered the palace as a female imperial physician to participate in the selection of witch doctors and female appearances, wouldn't you want to be a saint as a daughter, will Your Majesty recognize you? After all, you were a female official of Fengyi at the beginning, and Your Majesty still has a deep impression of you? Meng Ling congratulated excitedly, but expressed her concerns again.

"That's right! Meng Ling is right, princess, if Your Majesty recognizes that you are the Meng Yan who killed the queen's mother, you will be killed. After all, you can't prove your innocence yet, right? Does this matter of participating in the witch doctor woman still have to be carefully considered? Phantom Lotus also felt inappropriate and suggested.

"You two are right, I can participate in the witch doctor female selection as Yanyu, the granddaughter of Yuan Feng of the Great General's Mansion, but my appearance will still be considered to be Meng Yan's, after all, I pretended to be Meng Yan to become a female official of Fengyi. Originally, if I had planned to disguise myself as a man and become a soldier of the Imperial Guards, it would not have been easy to recognize me, but now that His Majesty wants a woman, I can only participate as a daughter. So if you don't want to expose that I am the original Meng Yan, there is only one way, and that is to cover my face to face the saint. Yanyu said without denying it.

"Covering the face of the saint? It's rude, isn't it? How can a saint not show his true face? This is a great sin of disrespect! Think twice, princess! Meng Ling asked in surprise.

"This mask is not unprecedented, from ancient times to the present, I once saw an ancient book in the study of His Royal Highness the Prince, which recorded that there is an extremely mysterious tribe in the Lotus Kingdom, called the Langyue Wolman tribe, which is said to have been heard from for thousands of years. The biggest feature of this tribe is that there is a very noble goddess of Lotus Sheng. The so-called Lotus Goddess must be born from the double full moon moonlight, the purple-gold lotus flower that blooms at midnight can be successfully conceived, and the double full moon can usually only be encountered once every 100,000 years, that is to say, every 100,000 years can give birth to a Lotus Goddess, which is more rare than the Lotus Born Son of Heaven. On the face of the goddess, from the time of birth, she always wears a lotus mask, which cannot be removed until she dies of old age. Otherwise, not only will the goddess die on the spot, but even the person who sees her true face will be killed, so even the kings of the past will respect this custom when they receive the goddess. If the princess could get the mask of the goddess, the problem would be solved. Phantom Lotus said thoughtfully, reminiscing.

After listening to Phantom Lotus's words, Yanyu suddenly became extremely excited......
