Shen Tingyu transmigrated unexpectedly into a book, becoming a voodoo doll. With a palm-sized cloth body, slightly clumsy limps, she could sing, dance, and speak. However, she was a bit unlucky; ri...
Chapter 124: Gu Xiaoman appears!
The Zhenghe Hall was already in chaos before she even got close, and the sound of loud shouts reached her ears.
"A witch has brought disaster to the country."
"Your Majesty, please do not be bewitched by that witch."
"Your Majesty, please grant the witch death!"
"Bullshit, that's a goddess! What do you want to do?"
“…”
Has the matter fermented to this point? Shen Tingyu clenched his hands tightly.
"The Imperial Master has arrived!"
The eunuch's shrill voice penetrated the noisy voices of the ministers and echoed throughout the Zhenghe Hall.
Shen Tingyu walked slowly among them, with Anjia following behind her.
The shouts in the hall suddenly stopped, and there was no sound at all. Only the sound of her footsteps remained in the silence.
Facing the countless pairs of eyes of the court officials, Shen Tingyu said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Your Majesty, may you be well."
This time no minister jumped out to criticize her for not kneeling.
"I heard that a Taoist priest slandered me as a demon!"
Shen Tingyu laughed, looking calm and said, "I think it's interesting, so I came to see it."
The small court, at first glance, looks magnificent with golden tiles, but inside it are many turbulent undercurrents and storms.
Xin Hongying frowned slightly. He could bear all these hardships alone. Anjia really shouldn't have involved the fairy.
Just a small Taoist priest!
Could it be that even I, the emperor, couldn't do anything to him?
He sat upright on the dragon throne, his Adam's apple moving, and explained for the first time: "I don't believe a word of what Taoist Jiuyang said. Fairy, don't pay attention to it."
"I will take care of it myself."
The ministers who knew Xin Hongying well were already horrified, trying to guess the emperor's intentions and wondering if they had chosen sides too early.
The Regent's eyelids twitched, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, as if he was secretly planning something bad again.
Shen Tingyu felt warm in his heart.
The two of them had been through so much together, so she naturally knew that the tyrant would choose her.
But if she doesn't deal with this Taoist Jiuyang, she won't be able to do it. This is probably the uneasiness of the liar!
She looked at the old man with white hair and fluttering sleeves in the blue Taoist robe in the Zhenghe Hall.
"Are you the Nine Yang... Taoist?"
Taoist Jiuyang glanced at her, his shrunken pupils revealing a hint of surprise, a touch of shock, a hint of fear, and a hint of covetousness...
She is also the first woman who dares to confront him, and she is a tough nut to crack.
A bit tough!
Taoist Jiuyang glanced at the Regent with sharp eyes, leaving no trace, as if he had taken a reassurance pill.
He stroked his white beard, stroking it continuously, and said calmly, "Yes, it is me."
Taoist Jiuyang raised his hand and pointed, then changed the subject slightly and swore a solemn oath.
"Witch, you are full of demonic energy, and your back is full of resentment. You must have killed so many innocent people to have this blood grudge."
"Blood resentment?"
Shen Tingyu raised her eyebrows. She had used this trick before and it was no longer new.
This trick doesn't work on people who have no guilt.
What's more, she has never done anything bad. The worst thing she has done is lying in order to complete a mission.
Taoist Jiuyang hated evil and had an awe-inspiring look of justice, pointing the whisk in his hand at Shen Tingyu.
It seemed as if if he were not in the court, he would take action immediately, and his threats were very strong.
"My sharp eyes have already seen through you. Your true form is a witch doll."
"How dare you appear before me? Aren't you afraid that I will beat you to your true form?"
He was targeting her weakness, so how could Taoist Jiuyang know that she was a voodoo doll?
Shen Tingyu sneered. If she didn't use some tricks, she would really think she was a sick cat.
"I thought you were a fellow Taoist who had come from afar, but it turns out you were just a scoundrel."
"You are not worthy of my high regard."
She spoke in a lost tone and gracefully extended her index finger, pointing at Taoist Jiuyang's head.
"If you frame someone, you'll lose your hair."
Shen Tingyu quietly used the points to try out the new function of the system, one-finger hair loss.
[Ding, 7 points deducted! ]
She pointed her finger at herself, and Taoist Jiuyang had a bad feeling.
Suddenly his gray hair began to fall out, and in a moment, all the hair on his head had fallen out.
When he touched the first strand of his fallen silver hair, he was dumbfounded.
"No, my hair, don't fall off, don't fall off..."
Taoist Jiuyang's fingers trembled as he touched his shiny, round bald head, his heart dead.
His image is completely ruined!
Nowadays, Taoist Jiuyang is more like a monk than a Taoist priest.
The blue Taoist robe looked out of place on him, making people laugh and cry.
Shen Tingyu walked up to him leisurely, his eyes indifferent.
"I'm just giving you a small punishment as a warning."
If Taoist Jiuyang was killed, the rumors would be confirmed, which was not what she wanted.
She has experience in being a liar, relying on her face and a mouth full of lies.
I guess when Taoist Jiuyang slandered her, with his greasy head, no one would believe him even if he said he was a Taoist priest.
In the hall, some ministers who witnessed the incident with their own eyes covered their hair and took a few steps back in fear.
Xin Hongying had tolerated him for a long time, so he waved his hand and said, "Come here, take this liar away."
"cut!"
Luo Hun is no longer a threat at the moment.
And this mysterious national teacher must die!
The Regent gave Sun Wangqian a look, he had already prepared a foolproof plan.
The purpose today was to sacrifice a Taoist priest named Jiuyang and confuse the state teacher with the witch. Given His Majesty's temperament, he will definitely not tolerate this and will definitely kill the Taoist priest Jiuyang, which will be exactly what they want.
But he did not expect that the imperial teacher would come out to disrupt the situation, casting a shadow of uncertainty on the court today.
Sometimes, if you want to kill someone, you have to ruin his reputation first, put yourself on the moral high ground, and then take your time to kill him.
The Regent curled his lips and looked at Xin Hongying who was sitting on the dragon throne.
Sun Wangqian struggled for a moment, but then he stood up and shouted, "Wait, Your Majesty."
"I have evidence to prove that what Taoist Jiuyang said is true."
"The Imperial Master is not the one who saved the city, but the one who brought the plague upon Yunzhou City. Today, she wants to repeat her old tricks and will repeat them in the capital."
Everyone was shocked: "What?!"
This voice is somewhat familiar.
Shen Tingyu narrowed her eyes slightly, she seemed to have some impression of this adult.
Wait... isn't this the Minister of War whose beloved wife's bellyband was stolen by her political enemies... Sun Wangqian.
It was a private matter, and he felt ashamed of being exposed by me. Is he deliberately taking revenge on me?
"Your Majesty, I have evidence and witnesses."
Under Xin Hongying's dying gaze, Sun Wangqian plucked up his courage, took out a rag doll from his sleeve, and continued.
"Someone bring it up."
The rag doll was a little yellow and old, and looked very familiar. Shen Tingyu opened her red lips slightly, and her eyes widened in disbelief.
Is this the doll she personally selected and gave to Gu Xiaoman?
How could it be in Sun Wangqian's hands?
Led by the eunuch, Gu Xiaoman walked fearfully into the main hall, his hands and feet stiff and his whole body uneasy as he knelt down and kowtowed.
"This...how come it's a child!"
The ministers looked at each other and murmured.
