They couldn't tell if it was their home from just one sentence, so they could only pray that God would have no connection to it at all.
Those with quick minds soon realized something was wrong, even though they had only heard three words.
But the voice sounded like that of a child under five years old. Apart from the Ninth Princess and the Eleventh Prince, who were being held by their wet nurses in front, the other children present, including the youngest of their colleagues, were all eight years old.
So where did that "wait a minute" come from?
The emperor also took full account of the reactions of these officials.
As an emperor, and a capable one at that, he thought about many things. Although the voice was abrupt, it felt as if it were speaking right next to his ear.
If he hadn't seen the reactions of his mother and empress, and then looked at the reactions of some of the ministers, he would have thought he had encountered a ghost in broad daylight!
The thoughts of everyone present raced through their minds in an instant, while Yue Fuguang, after the system called out "Wait a moment," was also afraid that things might change if they delayed.
She waited only two or three seconds before officially starting her performance.
Following the pre-arranged script, he asked, "Spirit, what's wrong? Why are you making me wait?"
Those who heard it: Qi Ling? Qi Ling? Is that the child's name from earlier?
Everyone looked toward Qi Yinghua, the only person present with the surname Ling and the Chancellor of the Imperial Academy.
Lord Qi heard this too, and then, with his colleagues all looking at him, he quickly and silently shook his head slightly, as if to say, 'It's not my family's.'
The second female voice was clearly not his child, and he hadn't brought any boys with him today; they were all studying at the academy!
It's not from the Ling family, so isn't it 'Qi' but 'Qi'?
There was indeed a high-ranking official in the court named Qi, namely Qi Congxue, the Junior Chamberlain.
However, Lord Qi could not hear Yue Fuguang and the others' conversation, so he was completely bewildered when he was being stared at by his colleagues.
He was panicking and secretly wondered what had happened and why his superiors were all standing still.
Since His Majesty has arrived, shouldn't they pay their respects first? Why don't they move? Doesn't His Majesty seem to mind?
The emperor was not unapologetic; if he looked up, he would have noticed that the emperor's expression was not good.
If he hadn't been a wise and benevolent ruler, he would have spoken out to punish the ruler the moment the first sound rang out.
Instead of waiting until now to hear Yue Fuguang's question.
He had a clear view from the highest point. None of the children around him were speaking; the children sitting furthest away were thirty or forty meters away. Even if they were speaking, their voices couldn't possibly be heard so clearly. So…
He looked at his mother with some surprise and saw that she also had a solemn expression. Then he looked at the Empress below him, who was instructing her maid to check the situation.
But judging from the palace maid's bewildered expression, the emperor boldly guessed that she probably hadn't heard him.
The reactions of the officials below made it clear that not everyone present could hear the voice!
Emperor Mingxi looked at his personal eunuch, Qian Gonggong, who immediately understood his master's meaning, silently withdrew, and went downstairs to check the situation.
Emperor Mingxi secretly thought that Qian Gui could hear it, but Su Xing, the Empress's personal maid, could not.
Among the officials, some could hear and some could see, but the reaction was that they could not hear. Why is that?
Just as he was pondering, the child's voice rang out again.
Master, you must not kneel before this mortal emperor!
Master? Who is that?
Human emperors? Are you referring to their emperor?
To address their emperor as the emperor of the mortal realm—is the speaker not human? Then is he… a god? A demon, or a ghost?
Those he called his master were among those kneeling in worship. Whose voice did that little girl actually come from?
Isn't there any colleague who can come forward and claim it?
Whose is it?
Except for the three siblings from the third branch of the Yu family who couldn't hear, everyone else in the family could hear clearly.
But none of them recognized that it was their child speaking.
Because the Yu family only heard her call out to a few people—grandparents, uncles, and aunts—on the day Yue Fuguang returned home.
I haven't seen her since, nor have I heard her speak.
Sun did visit her courtyard, but they didn't exchange more than a few words. Besides, her mind wasn't on Yue Fuguang, and she didn't listen to what she was saying.
This morning, Yue Fuguang did greet the group, but it was just a simple greeting, so much so that they didn't recognize the girl's voice as that of the child they had just found.
"Why can't we worship him?"
[Because he simply cannot withstand your kneeling and worship. He originally had less than ten years left to live, but your worship could very well send him to his death!]
"How could that be? Didn't you say that Master sealed my divine power just like he sealed my memories? I've lost all my divine power, yet he can't even withstand my bow?"
【Master, your divine power has been sealed, but your divine essence remains. Although mortal emperors possess dragon energy, they are ultimately mortal beings, and how can they bear your worship!】
"Little bead, you're my magical artifact. You wouldn't be lying to me again just because I've lost most of my memories, would you?"
The voice of the moonlit light was full of doubt.
Everyone who heard this, including the emperor, was greatly alarmed.
Some people began to breathe rapidly, especially in the deathly silent hall, where it was particularly noticeable.
The sperm had already realized that the amount of information contained in those few short questions and answers was enormous!
Furthermore, they claimed that their emperor, who was not yet forty, had less than ten years left to live. This was utterly treasonous, and for that alone, no amount of heads would be enough to pay for it!
However, if the speaker is a 'non-human', then that's a different story!
Emperor Mingxi naturally heard these words and was both shocked and angry.
The Empress Dowager stepped forward and grasped her eldest son's hand, while the Empress looked at the Emperor with a face full of panic and worry.
The Emperor silently shook his head at them, signaling them to continue listening.
This caused those who heard it to hold their breath, wanting to know the answer but also terrified of what they were about to hear, resulting in a rather interesting array of expressions.
As a result, those who couldn't hear saw their colleagues standing there with constantly changing expressions, as if possessed, and they couldn't help but feel so afraid that they wanted to hug themselves and stay away from them!
Surrounded by people like that, how can they possibly survive?
【Master, how could you think of your Boundary-Breaking Bead like that? I am your most loyal artifact spirit; I wouldn't dare lie to you!】
"But you won't let me kneel. If everyone else kneels and I'm the only one standing, do you think that's right?"
Judging from what she said, everyone felt that her focus seemed to be off track. Is this a question of whether it makes sense or not?
【That's easy. I'll create an illusion for you to wear in a bit, so that others will see you kneeling.】
The child's voice was very cheerful, as if creating that illusion would be a very easy thing for him.
"Can't I really kneel? I'd really like to try!"
Hearing her say that, everyone's hearts jumped into their throats.
Several impatient individuals would have shouted out if not for the emperor's stern gaze.
