Chapter 84: Trickery (75 monthly passes)
If it weren't for the fact that this time she had to find a strong backer to make a comeback, so that the people of Chengenbo Mansion would not dare to touch her, she would not have hit Zhao Lingxi with her idea.
But making a deal with Zhao Lingxi is undoubtedly seeking skin with the tiger, Ling Wanrou is still a little bottomless in her heart, for fear that if she doesn't carefully anger Zhao Lingxi, she will fall into a place of no return!
She took a deep breath, and kept reassuring herself in her heart to calm herself down - since Zhao Lingxi came to Cheng Enbo's mansion to find him in person, and also came forward to ask Cheng Enbo to let her go, it meant that he believed what she said.
As long as she carries out the plan she has made early on, she will definitely be able to turn the danger into a disaster, and from then on Zhao Lingxi will convince her and become her help!
After Ling Wanrou's thoughts were tossed, she raised her hand and stroked the gardenia on her sideburns, so she came to hide her nervous and uneasy heart, "Will I be divination, can I do divination, isn't Lord Zhao already knowing?" ”
After Ling Wanrou was imprisoned in the firewood room, she began to think of a major event that would happen soon - it rained on the 15th day of August in her previous life, and the Rainbow Bridge appeared in the Imperial Garden after the rain.
Zhao Lingxi's youngest sister Zhao Zhaoyi has a lively temperament, greedy and active, and was full of joy after seeing the Rainbow Bridge, and immediately ordered someone to take the beloved paper kite to the imperial garden to put it, wanting to see the picture of the paper kite swaying under the Rainbow Bridge.
Who would have thought that the paper kite thundered suddenly after going to the sky, and it was splitting on the paper kite in Zhao Zhaoyi's hand, the paper kite turned into ashes on the spot, and Zhao Zhaoyi fell to the ground in fright!
Zhao Zhaoyi was carried back to the dormitory and fell unconscious for several days, but the saint not only did not come to visit, but also ordered someone to move her to the cold palace, causing her to fall from the clouds to the mud overnight.
The saint thought that the thunder splitting paper kite was a bad omen, and then decided that Zhao Zhaoyi, who was holding the paper kite, was also an ominous person, so he would send Zhao Zhaoyi into the cold palace.
Thunder split paper kite, palace concubine frightened and fell out of favor, this thing is rare to see in a hundred years, with a little magical color soon spread to the outside of the palace, people after tea and dinner relish, it is said that Zhao Zhaoyi is the fox demon incarnated, charming monarch, God will send down the god to punish the harm;
It is said that the other concubines in the palace were jealous of Zhao Zhaoyi's favor, and invited a master to take advantage of the time and place to frame her, so that she lost her favor;
There are even more nonsensical and completely illogical statements, saying that Zhao Zhaoyi is incarnated by the Nine Heavens Goddess, who can manipulate the heavenly thunder at will, and can split whoever he wants to be thundered.
Although this incident spread in the community, and gradually spread beyond recognition, Zhao Zhaoyi's fall from grace due to "thunder splitting paper kites" really happened.
This incident was too bizarre, and the time it happened happened during the Mid-Autumn Festival of the family reunion, so that Ling Wanrou could clearly remember the time when this incident happened in this life.
Ling Wanrou heard in her previous life that Zhao Lingxi loved Zhao Zhaoyi's young sister very much, so after she was locked up in the firewood room, when she heard the little maid muttering that she was afraid that this year's Mid-Autumn Festival would be bad, she immediately remembered this incident, and immediately decided to use this incident to catch Zhao Lingxi and borrow Zhao Lingxi's power to get out of trouble.
She quickly asked her henchman Yuan Fei to find pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and wrote a letter to Zhao Lingxi, in which she said that she was proficient in divination, and the day before yesterday she casually made a hexagram for Zhao Zhaoyi, and found that Zhao Zhaoyi's disaster was coming.
Immediately afterwards, she wrote down the "Thunder Splitting Paper Kite" incident in her previous life as a disaster shown on the hexagram, and deliberately noted the time and place of the occurrence, so that Yuan Fei could send it to Zhao Lingxi anonymously.
She deliberately kept an eye on sending the letter anonymously, because she was not sure whether the "thunder splitting paper kite" incident that caused a sensation in the capital in her previous life would happen in this life, after all, many things have become different in this life...... She didn't want to end up with the helper and not find it, but provoke Zhao Lingxi's killing god!
This time, she had to wait until everything happened properly before she dared to let Zhao Lingxi know her identity.
Fortunately, there is no end to the sky, and the "thunder splitting paper kite" incident in this life still happened on August 15th!
Zhao Lingxi was cautious by nature, after he received Ling Wanrou's letter, although he didn't believe that anyone in the world could predict everything by relying on divination, he didn't believe the nonsense in the letter. 、
But just in case, on August 15, he still found an excuse to visit Zhao Zhaoyi in the palace and personally guarded his younger sister.
As a result, the unthinkable really happened that day......
He stayed by Zhao Zhaoyi's side, watching things develop step by step in the direction shown in the hexagram, watching the colorful bridge appear in the imperial garden, and watching the young sister happily let people go to get her most beloved paper kite!
Zhao Lingxi was terrified at the time, and in order to verify what the anonymous letter said, he stopped the young sister who was full of interest and ordered a maid to replace the young sister to put a paper kite under the Colorful Bridge......
As a result, the thunder came suddenly, and the paper kite in the sky was split in front of his eyes, and the palace maid who pulled the paper kite was also frightened as the hexagram said, fell to the ground on the spot, and was unconscious for several days after that.
What shocked Zhao Lingxi even more was that the Holy Lord really regarded this matter as a bad omen, regarded the palace maid as an ominous person, and directly ordered someone to burn her at the stake - it is rumored that fire can incinerate and purify all filthy and bad things!
Zhao Lingxi is not a fool, he knows the saint's temperament, and he can guess with his eyes closed that if the person who put the paper kite at that time was Zhao Zhaoyi, the saint would not execute her in his face, but he would definitely beat her into the cold palace and never be favored again!
Things have come to this point, Zhao Lingxi has to believe that the person who sent him the anonymous letter really has the ability to be an unpredictable prophet!
As soon as he left the palace, he immediately ordered someone to find the anonymous messenger, but the person quietly sent him a letter, which briefly mentioned a few small things such as a certain woman was about to give birth to a daughter, what so-and-so and so-and-so would say when they met, and these few small things were quickly verified one by one.
Two letters in a row made him extremely curious about the person who could not predict the prophet by divination.
He no longer tried to look for the man, for he knew that since the man had sent him a letter, he would have asked for it, and he would appear without the time and effort of searching.
Sure enough, he soon received a third letter.
The anonymous person on the letter identified herself, saying that her name was "Ling Wanrou", and she was the concubine of the prince of Chengen, and she was in a deep predicament at the moment and asked him to help.
At the end of the letter, she also said that she had recently made a hexagram about his search, and that the hexagram had given her the idea of the person he was looking for, and that she would tell her everything that was indicated in the hexagram if he was willing to help her out of trouble.
Regarding the person he had worked hard and desperately wanted to find in the past few years, he didn't even further investigate Ling Wanrou's background, and did not investigate whether Ling Wanrou had any conspiracy to ask him for help, so he immediately found Cheng Enbo to protect Ling Wanrou.
Because even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he is unwilling to give up, even if this glimmer of hope requires him to pay the calculated price, he will not hesitate!
He must find her!
