All the civil and military officials in the court looked at Zhao Ying with admiration and were convinced by her from the bottom of their hearts. Although Princess Chengqian was not as versatile and scheming as Princess Huaian, she was truly law-abiding and pure and kind!
This is how human nature is. They may look down on others at first, but after a long time, they will be convinced from the bottom of their hearts.
Zhao Yao felt something was wrong, but she couldn't put her finger on it. At this moment, her mind was filled with Zhao Ying's words. She was completely convinced by Zhao Ying...
The words of rebuttal were stuck in my mouth and I just couldn't say them.
And if I continue talking about it, I'm afraid I'll be considered as being unreasonable, right?
Emperor Jianxi looked at Zhao Ying with regret and hatred.
I really hate it, why isn’t Ying’er a man!
This aura, this magnanimity, what is the demeanor of a king!
He remained unmoved throughout the entire process, without arguing or making a fuss, but when he did speak, his words were to the point and carried great weight.
It makes Huai'an look like a noisy monkey...
If she were a man, he would definitely hand over the kingdom to her!
God is really blind...
He even named himself "Cheng Qian", don't you understand what he means?!
Woohoo…
Emperor Jianxi was already heartbroken, but Zhao Ying's next action made him even more heartbroken.
Zhao Ying knelt before Emperor Jianxi with a worried look on her face. "Father, although 'princes who break the law are subject to the same punishment as commoners,' according to what Ziya and Ziyin said, if we don't release Xue'er, then the rain won't come..."
"I beg Your Majesty, for the sake of the tens of thousands of people in Lingnan, to grant Xue'er an imperial decree! I believe the people of the world will understand your Majesty!"
A gentle knife, but every blow is fatal!
Zhao Yao was completely panicked upon hearing this and questioned Zhao Ying, "Sister Ying, when did Ziya and Ziyin ever say that they wouldn't pray for rain unless Xue'er was released? How could you pin such a heinous crime on them? Ziya and Ziyin care about the people and would never use this as a threat. I hope your Majesty will understand!"
Zhao Zihua and Zhao Ziyin were also frightened and quickly expressed their determination to Emperor Jianxi.
"Grandfather, your grandson (daughter) has absolutely no such intention!"
Although this is their original intention, it must not be made public!
In that case, all their years of planning and their reputation of loving the people like their own children will be ruined!
As soon as Zhao Yao and Zhao Zihua finished speaking, Shangguan Shu sighed and shook his head, as if he had been fooled.
Why……
The next second, Emperor Jianxi said calmly, "Then you two go!"
Zhao Ying: "I am being too suspicious. Ziya and Ziyin, go pray for rain!"
[Yes, go ahead!]
Zhao Yao, Zhao Zihua, and Zhao Ziyin: ...
So you've been waiting for this sentence? !
Zhao Yao's eyes went dark and she almost fainted from anger.
Zhao Zihua and Zhao Ziyin were forced to go to the rain-praying platform.
Zhao Zihua was a little confused. What went wrong? Their plan was so perfect...
Zhao Ziyan was about to cry.
He had wanted to ask the emperor's grandfather to give him the little mute Shangguan Qingyue to play with for two days, and then he would kill her without anyone knowing, so that no one would compete with him for his father, but now... he had nothing.
Sister Xue can’t be released, and that little mute is still living happily!
The hairless wizard came over to comfort the two of them.
"No problem. If you hate that dumb child, Master can send her to a place of eternal damnation for you!"
Zhao Zihua and her brother nodded with an annoyed look on their faces.
"Thank you, Master!"
Zhao Yao passed by Zhao Ying and deliberately stopped, her eyes filled with provocation and hatred that could no longer be hidden. "Sister Ying, why do you treat me like this?"
Zhao Ying curled her lips slightly, not intending to answer such an unreasonable question. Instead, she asked, "Why did you fall into the water just now at the lake?"
Zhao Yao's body stiffened.
Zhao Ying didn't even look at her, her tone still as calm as usual, "Want to push my Yue'er into the water?"
Zhao Yao immediately looked around warily upon hearing this. Seeing that no one heard, Zhao Yao retorted, "Of course not!"
"I didn't ask you."
A chill suddenly ran down Zhao Yao's spine.
For some reason, Zhao Ying's attitude made her inexplicably scared.
She clearly didn't do anything...she was just guessing!
Yes! Just a guess!
Could it be that the little mute would tell her everything?
[Mother, mother! She just wants to push me! She wants to kill me!]
[She must be jealous that my mother has a daughter as lovely as me, as she couldn't give birth to one!]
Zhao Yao stood behind Zhao Ying.
At this moment, Wu Zongguan shouted: "The auspicious time has arrived!"
At the same time, Shangguan Qingyue smiled cunningly.
[Please, please, you are praying for rain, what else can I ask for? ]
Zhao Ying said something to Nanny Li, and Nanny Li turned and left.
Zhao Ying glanced at Cui casually.
At this time, the auspicious time for praying for rain had arrived, and no one mentioned the twenty beatings just now. Cui stood back in the team as if nothing had happened.
Even when Zhao Ying looked over, she lowered her brows indifferently.
Zhao Ying smiled faintly.
Is she sure that she will not repeat the twenty punishments?
She really doesn't.
The board's wound can be healed with medicine and stone, but what she wants is to destroy his heart.
On the rain-praying platform, Master Wufa sat quietly at the back, leaving behind the brother and sister Zhao Zihua and Zhao Ziyan, who kept waving swords and talisman paper. At one moment, the sword flew into the sky, at two moments, the talisman paper spontaneously combusted, at three moments, the prayer flags swayed and the wind rose.
Everyone was whispering and marveling at this.
If there really are gods in this world, then Zhao Zihua and Zhao Ziyin, these two spiritual children, would be the people closest to gods!
How fortunate the Great Chu is!
At this moment, everyone had completely forgotten what Zhao Zihua and her brother had just done. Their hearts and eyes were filled with the glory and honor of the two spiritual children.
