Chapter 11 Justice Descends from Heaven
As Tang Li uttered her tempting promise, the atmosphere on the withered tree in the west courtyard instantly reached its peak.
Hundreds of crows, which had been lifeless, seemed to have been given a shot of adrenaline.
In their eyes, the woman below, dressed like a gold ingot and preparing to make things difficult for the Queen, was no longer a human being, but a long-term meal ticket to the "feast of rotten flesh"!
[Haha! Brothers! For the buffet!]
[For the rotten flesh! Charge!]
I want to pull up the biggest hairpin! That's mine!
[Ready—Fire!]
"Splash—"
A deafening sound of wings flapping violently arose, as if a black whirlwind had risen from the ground.
Just as Lin Jiaojiao was about to scold Tang Li for her lack of manners, she suddenly felt a darkness above her head.
She subconsciously looked up, her face full of impatience as she cursed:
"Where did this dead bird come from? Trying to call back its soul?!"
Before he could finish speaking...
Her mouth hadn't even closed yet.
"Snap!"
A warm, viscous, grayish-white mass with an indescribable odor, with astonishing precision, landed precisely on its target—
It fell into her wide-open mouth.
Lin Jiaojiao: "...?!!"
In that instant, a salty, fishy, and bitter taste exploded in my mouth.
Her eyes widened, and she froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.
But this is just the beginning.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of dense "raindrops" echoed throughout the west courtyard.
"Crackling! Crackling!"
This was a premeditated air raid.
Hundreds of crows circled above Lin Jiaojiao and her maids, like tireless bombers, frantically emptying their stomachs.
[That maid on the left trying to run away? Where do you think you're going! Take this boomerang!]
Wow! Right between the eyebrows! 10/10!
[Don't move, you woman in the gold dress! I'm going to paint her face with paint!]
In just a few breaths.
Lin Jiaojiao's towering hair, which she had meticulously styled for two hours, instantly turned into a chicken coop covered in white scum.
That priceless gold-embroidered peony brocade dress was now covered in stains, its original shimmering gold now a "colorful black".
"ah--!!!"
Lin Jiaojiao finally realized what was happening and let out a terrified scream.
"Ptooey! Ptooey! Ugh—"
She vomited wildly, her stomach churning.
She tried to run, but the bluestone slabs under her feet were already covered with a layer of slippery bird droppings.
"Your Majesty! Your Majesty, be careful!"
The maid Cui'er wanted to rush over to protect her mistress, but as soon as she took a step, her foot slipped and she slipped with a "whoosh".
He fell flat on his back like a turtle, burying his face in a fresh, warm pile of... bird droppings.
"Ouch! My back!" Cui'er cried out in pain.
The entire west courtyard instantly descended into chaos.
The maids and servants scattered in panic, screams, retching, and curses rising and falling.
A suffocating stench filled the air, making it impossible to open one's eyes.
But outside of this hellish, chaotic scene...
In the pavilion just a few steps away.
Tang Li was holding a cup of tea that hadn't cooled down yet, leaning leisurely against a pillar.
A second before the crows launched their attack, she used the excuse of being "frightened" to gracefully back away, turn around, and hide in the covered pavilion.
Not a single speck of dirt touched him; he was spotless and refreshed.
Looking at the horrific scene outside, she showed no sign of smugness. Instead, her eyes widened, and she covered her mouth in feigned terror.
"Oh my god! My goodness! Your Highness, the concubine!"
Tang Li's clear and bright voice pierced through Lin Jiaojiao's scream:
"This...this could be the legendary 'auspicious omen from heaven'?"
She pointed at Lin Jiaojiao, who was covered in bird droppings, with an air of seriousness, and began spouting nonsense:
"I've heard from the old folks in the countryside that when bird droppings land on your head, it's a sign of good fortune! Your Majesty, look at all these crows, they're only looking for you. This means... you're incredibly blessed, even the birds can't resist wanting to... add to your good fortune!"
"Pfft—"
Several rough-looking old women who were watching the show from the shadows couldn't help but burst out laughing.
What the hell is this "adding bricks and tiles" nonsense!
This is like adding feces and urine to the potty!
"You...you..."
Lin Jiaojiao was almost going crazy at this point.
Her head was covered in filth, her makeup was ruined, and there were black and white streaks of bird droppings on her face, making her look like a demon that had crawled out of a cesspool.
Hearing Tang Li's sarcastic remarks, she trembled with anger, her finger pointing at Tang Li shaking.
"It was you...it must have been you, you bitch, who did this!"
Although she couldn't understand how Tang Li controlled these beasts, her intuition told her that it was definitely related to this seemingly harmless illegitimate daughter!
"Oh dear, sister, I'm innocent!"
Tang Li shrank back, blinking her big eyes innocently: "These crows fly in the sky, their butts are on their bodies, how can I, as their little sister, control what crows poop?"
"Besides..." Tang Li covered her nose in disgust and took a step back, "Sister, the way you look right now... you'd better not talk, really... it's quite peculiar."
"Aaaaaah! I'm going to kill you! I'm going to kill you!"
Lin Jiaojiao completely broke down.
When has she ever suffered such a humiliating disgrace?
Ignoring her own wretched appearance, she shoved aside Cui'er, who tried to help her, and rushed towards the courtyard gate like a madwoman.
"I'm going to see the Prince! I want the Prince to judge this matter! You witch! You know sorcery! I'll have the Prince cut off your head!"
At this moment, Lin Jiaojiao was blinded by anger and completely forgot that Pei Yunjing was a madman with overactive senses who couldn't stand dirt and stench.
She only thought that her miserable state would surely make the prince feel sorry for her and would surely make him severely punish this jinx!
Tang Li watched Lin Jiaojiao's stinking figure angrily rushing towards the front yard, but did not stop her.
Instead, she slowly put down her teacup, her smile deepening.
"Go find the prince?"
Tang Li gently shook her head, a hint of pity flashing in her eyes.
"Tsk, that's really brave."
She remembered clearly that Pei Yunjing had such a bad nose that he couldn't even stand slightly inferior incense.
Lin Jiaojiao's current outfit is comparable to a biological weapon.
This is hardly a complaint.
This is clearly a suicide mission.
