Chapter 43: The Omen of Great Evil (Ask for Collection Recommendation)
A civil official in a purple shirt stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, there is Master Xuanmei waiting outside the hall, saying that there is something important and must be reported today." ”
The king was a little impatient: "My son can't stay, I want to get off work." Is there such a hurry? ”
"Yes. The civil servant stepped back and walked out of the main hall.
After a while, a young man dressed in a green veil and holding a long-handled staff was ushered in by the civil official.
Master Xuanmei kowtowed and said, "Meet Your Majesty." ”
"I haven't seen you for many days, and I was going to announce your entry and thank you. A few days ago, thanks to you, I asked for a rare rain for my country. You see, it's been raining for three days in a row, and I've finally survived this drought. The king pointed to the outside of the hall, and Xu Wu realized that the continuous murmur he heard at the beginning was the sound of rain.
Hearing the king's praise, Master Xuanmei thanked him: "Serving the country and the people is what I should do." ”
The king looked back at his son, and the little baby smiled at him, and he felt a sense of happiness overflowing his heart, and he really wanted to get off work, and keep him with him, and let him sit on his belly and do undulating exercises, or shave his little face with his beard.
The more the king thought about it, the happier he became, and hurriedly asked Master Xuanmei, "What is the matter today?"
Master Xuanmei's expression became solemn, and he said, "Your Majesty also knows that I am good at calling the wind and rain. Recently, I discovered a strange thing, which is in the palace. It's just not clear whether to talk about it or not. ”
When the king saw that the mage's tone was wrong, he hesitated for a while, but still wanted to accompany his son quickly, and said, "Why don't you talk about it?" ”
Master Xuanmei bowed: "Your Majesty, I'll just say it." When the prince was born, I watched the sky at night and found that the evil stars in the southwest pierced the sky, which was a great omen. Later, I repeatedly calculated that the prince was born with drought, and his power grew with age. In a few years, there will not be a single grain in the whole country. ”
As the mage spoke, Xu Wu observed that the kind smile that had been on the king's face gradually disappeared, and he turned his head to look at the equally frightened Empress Yueming.
Even the two rows of civil and military officials all changed their faces, and they didn't dare to say this kind of thing even if they had ten guts.
"You're talking nonsense!" Empress Yueming hugged her son and became angry.
"Wow......"
This time, Xin Yan in his arms was directly frightened and cried. The black-clothed maid next to her took the prince and hugged him aside to comfort him.
Master Xuanmei was also shocked by Empress Yueming's momentum, bowed his head and said, "The Empress is angry, what I said is true. ”
The king, who had always been kind, couldn't help but shout loudly: "Seriously, if it weren't for you saying this, I would have dragged the others out and beheaded them." ”
Master Xuanmei apparently anticipated the king's reaction and smiled, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your forgiveness. ”
Xu Wu was already so angry that he put his hands on Master Xuanmei's neck, but this was just a "video" restored by the system.
The king looked back at his son in the maid's arms, and asked the mage. "How can you prove that what you say is true?"
Master Xuanmei stretched out his hands and said earnestly, "If Your Majesty is at ease, please let me hug the prince." ”
"No!" Empress Yueming was the first to jump out and object, taking her son back from the maid's hand, for fear of being robbed.
"I agree with her. The king then chimed in.
"Otherwise, the queen can hold it, you can follow me to the rain for a trip, and you will know. After Master Xuanmei finished speaking, he pointed out of the main hall.
Xu Wu listened carefully, and the "uproar" outside sounded louder than just now.
Not only Xu Wu heard it, but everyone heard it, and all the civil and military officials looked embarrassed, and the king said angrily: "How can you take such a young prince out with such a heavy rain?" If you get sick, who will be responsible!"
If it weren't for the fact that he had successfully begged for rain before, the king would have fallen with a knife in his hand.
Seeing that the king was really angry this time, Master Xuanmei immediately knelt down and burst into tears: "Your Majesty, I know how offensive I am today, for the sake of the future of the great country and the well-being of the people, I have the courage to say this, please think twice for the sake of the whole country! Your Majesty can rest assured that the prince will not be drenched in the rain." If you still don't believe it, you can come out with an umbrella. ”
Xu Wu couldn't help but exclaim, Oh, I'll go, the drama spirit! He has never seen such a person who comes with tears.
The tears did not move Xu Wu, but they moved everyone present, including the king who had the people in his heart.
Now there was only one thing to try, and the king turned back to the maid and said, "Bring me an umbrella." ”
"Yes. The maid withdrew, and after a while, held up a paper umbrella and handed it to the king.
The king took the umbrella, walked over to the queen, and stroked his son's face with his fingers. The little baby lets out a crisp "giggle" laugh.
Queen Yueming was in a complicated mood at this time, she was not without people in her heart, but at this time, she wanted to be an ordinary "selfish" mother, hugging her son tightly and not letting go, rather than the queen.
The two knew that they had to go this time, and walked down the steps very helplessly.
It only takes half a minute to walk out of the main hall, and this short distance is very difficult for the king and queen to walk step by step. Because they know that Master Xuanmei's ability has not gone wrong so far.
Seeing the staggering steps of the Son of Heaven, some ministers were moved, turned their backs and couldn't bear to look at it.
Xu Wu also walked out with mixed feelings, he was the only person present who knew the result.
Standing under the eaves, the king was expressionless, slowly stretched out the umbrella, and put his other hand around the shoulder of the Empress Yueming. The two looked at each other, and although they did not speak, they had decided to face each other together, regardless of the outcome.
The king whispered, "Let's go." ”
The queen hugged Xin Yan tightly, and the child looked at the two faces of his parents next to each other, and stretched out his little hand with an innocent smile.
One-step, two-step, three-step, four-step, five-step......
"Poof!"
After only five steps, Queen Yueming fell heavily to the ground and fainted.
She tried to accept the consequences, but she didn't have a strong enough heart.
The king found himself under his umbrella, no, he had already thrown the umbrella, strictly speaking, with Xin Yan as the center, within a radius of two meters, not half a drop of rain.
It's exactly the same as what Master Xuanmei said, the son in front of him has the ability to suffer from drought, is it really a bad star?
The king had not yet fully accepted this fact, and his wife was unconscious, and he was in a trance, and his eyes were foggy, and what about his son?
"Wow, wow, wow, wow......"
Xin Yan, who fell to the ground, couldn't stop crying, before his mother fell unconscious, his arm was still under him, and it was fine, just frightened.
Before the king could call for help, a group of servants and officials had already rushed to the outside of the palace to help.
Xu Wu did not walk into the rain. Also in the hall was Master Xuanmei, who turned his back at this time, not even looking back at the chaos behind him.
Xu Wu walked around to Master Xuanmei and couldn't help but feel creepy. The man was grinning silently with his teeth bared, and it was a completely unstoppable laugh.
It's all in his calculations.
