[Intrigue + Mind-Reading Control + Karmic Retribution + Group Pampering + Refreshing Story]
Shen Qingwu is a fool, yet she became the crown princess. Her general father is defending the count...
Xie Yuening's mind echoed with the emperor's words, resurrection from the dead?
But at the same time, she became calmer in her heart. She clearly realized that no matter what the emperor said today, she had no choice but to agree. Otherwise, she would not only lose the emperor's trust, but also bring unnecessary trouble.
The emperor stood up and helped her up personally. "I am also a father. If I had known earlier that your daughter had encountered such a thing, I would have helped her sooner. Fortunately, it is not too late now..."
Xie Yuening stood up with the emperor's strength, looking at the emperor in a daze, "Your Majesty, I don't understand what you mean."
"The child died less than a year ago. If we ask a wizard to call back the soul, the soul may be resurrected. If the body is not decayed, it is possible that the soul may come back to life." The emperor smiled and took out a white porcelain bottle from his sleeve and placed it in Xie Yuening's hand.
Xie Yuening lowered her eyes, her hands shaking involuntarily, but she could only open her palms to receive it.
"Thank you, my dear minister. Your daughter is still so young. I'm afraid she can't even find the way to the King of Hell. I heard that her legs and feet were not very good when she was alive. After she was buried, she probably couldn't walk to the grave. After so long, I don't know if she was eaten by other ghosts." The emperor's low voice was full of loving helplessness.
Xie Yuening raised her eyes, and the emperor's face was reflected in her pupils. She was horrified. Was the man in front of her a lunatic?!
"Thank you, my dear minister. I know you are an ambitious and visionary woman. I feel very sorry that your talent has been buried over the years." The emperor raised his hand and opened the lid.
"If you work diligently for me in the future, I can satisfy you with the military tokens and your daughter that you want." The emperor poured a black pill the size of a peanut into Xie Yuening's palm and raised his hand to signal her to eat it.
"Of course, if you don't want to save your daughter, you don't have to eat it." The emperor took a step back and generously said that the choice was up to Xie Yuening.
"Your Majesty, I... I don't quite understand what you mean." Xie Yuening frowned slightly and shook his head gently.
The emperor laughed softly.
"Your Majesty, can my Momo really come back to me?" Xie Yuening knew that she had no way out today. She looked at the emperor excitedly and raised the pill to her mouth with trembling hands.
If you don't eat today, you will die.
"Of course, as long as you're loyal enough." The emperor raised his hand, his smile determined. When Xie Yuening finally swallowed the pill with a rolling throat, he said with a smile, "Don't worry, my dear Xie. This is not a poison that will penetrate the intestines. It is a magical medicine that can help you summon the ghost of your daughter."
"As long as you take it once a month, you will be able to see your daughter soon. Of course, all medicines are poisonous. I can't tell you what will happen if you fail to take this medicine for a month." The emperor shrugged helplessly.
"As long as I can see my child again, I am willing to pay any price!" Xie Yuening knelt down without hesitation.
But in my mind, I remembered the helpless words my father said before we broke up: This road is not easy to walk, there is no turning back, in this life, the Xie family has let you down. If something happens, the Xie family ancestral hall will erect a plaque for you, and you will be worshipped by future generations.
The emperor laughed with satisfaction, "My dear minister, please stand up quickly."
"Your Majesty, Miss Shen is here." Zheng Hong's shrill voice came from outside.
Xie Yuening bowed and took her leave. When she was at the door, she passed by Shen Qingwu, and the two of them nodded politely.
…
"I heard today that the girl from the Shen family is good at fortune-telling." The emperor spoke in a teasing and gentle tone, always as if he was chatting with his own juniors. He was approachable and did not seem like a powerful ruler.
"You are really well-informed." Shen Qingwu followed his approach without any hesitation. He pulled out a chair and sat down. Zheng Hong immediately brought in two plates of pastries.
I thought to myself: [Isn't this just like the other day at the Kang family, when I suddenly opened my yin-yang eyes and was able to tell fortunes? This Kang family is really weird. Now that the whole family has been chopped off, I wonder if they will become evil spirits.]
The emperor looked at Shen Qingwu's childish casualness, heard what she was thinking, and understood that the source actually came from the Kang family.
Fortunately, he has asked the monks from the Big Buddha Temple to perform rituals for him, so he should not become a ghost.
"You come and tell me my fortune now?" The emperor looked at the person who always came to ask for pastries, and continued to coax him in a tone of juniority. "Calligraphy, face reading, palmistry, fortune-telling, which one is the Shen family girl good at?"
Shen Qingwu shook his head with his mouth full, and Zheng Hong quickly handed him a cup of tea.
"I am not considered the true dragon emperor." Shen Qingwu swallowed the food in his mouth and shook his head.
"It doesn't count?" The emperor frowned, his face full of doubt.
"Your Majesty, I seem to have opened my third eye and can see things that ordinary people cannot see, but when I look at you, you are surrounded by a layer of golden light that I cannot see through at all." Shen Qingwu shook his head.
And he testified in his heart: [Let alone His Majesty, the True Dragon Emperor, I'm afraid that even His Majesty's sons, with my limited skills, would not be able to see anything.]
The emperor heard what she was thinking and believed it.
Shen Qingwu really couldn't see through the emperor's fate. Another person he couldn't see through was Chu Guannan. Even if the two had physical contact, they couldn't touch the past and the future.
But if there is physical contact between Crown Prince Chu Guandong, she can see the past and the future.
"Then show it to Zheng Hong." The emperor was very satisfied with the result, but still wanted to test Shen Qingwu.
"It's my honor." Zheng Hong hurriedly stepped forward to cooperate.
Shen Qingwu narrowed his eyes, observed for a while and said, "Eunuch Zheng Hong has a kind face, a sign of longevity and happiness."
"Oh, thanks to Miss Shen for her good words. Thank you, Your Majesty, for the reward." Zheng Hong was immediately overjoyed, then knelt down and kowtowed to the emperor.
The emperor nodded with satisfaction. Zheng Hong was his chief eunuch. If Zheng Hong could die of old age and enjoy his old age, then his future would definitely not be bad.
"Let me take another look at Eunuch Zheng Hong's palm." Shen Qingwu knew that these two short sentences could not prove his ability.
Zheng Hong extended his hand without hesitation.
Shen Qingwu pressed Zheng Hong's fingers with his left hand, and Zheng Hong's past appeared in his mind.
Zheng Hong was sold to the palace to be a eunuch at the age of six. Because of his cleverness, he was soon arranged to be a eunuch beside the current emperor. Most of his experiences in the past forty years revolved around the emperor, and his memory contained many of the emperor's secrets.
The current Empress Dowager, who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, is not the Emperor's biological mother. The seemingly amiable Emperor is actually very violent and is still refining elixirs to seek medicine...
And the person Zheng Hong is loyal to now is no longer the emperor.
Shen Qingwu, who knew too many secrets, felt nervous now. The emperor was really a smiling fox. He was much better at singing than the actors in the opera garden.
Shen Qingwu's silence made Zheng Hong's heart tighten, but after so many years in the palace, he still had the ability to remain calm. He waited patiently without showing any emotion.
On the contrary, the emperor couldn't help but ask, "Shen family girl, what did you see?"
