Chapter 277 So that’s how it is!
The national teacher replied:
"May 4th, the 37th year of Dayu."
Uh, I was careless...
Well, she would have to ask the other side for confirmation.
But based on reasoning, this should be the case.
Thinking of this, Lin Shiqi got angry. After all this time, it turned out that the reason she and Zhou Lang traveled to this world was because of this woman named Bai Tangxin!
Maybe the disaster was deliberately caused by Bai Tangxin!
"Master, do you know what Bai Tangxin did in that world?"
The Imperial Master shook his head.
"How should I know this? I just followed the tradition and started the sacrifice. I have no way of knowing the specific circumstances. What I know is what the Saint told me."
Lin Shiqi was a little angry when he heard this.
"Master, you didn't clarify the situation and just randomly sent Bai Tangxin to another world. Do you know that this might cause harm to other innocent people?"
Lin Shiqi was angry, and these words sounded like accusations.
The Imperial Master said calmly:
"I don't know, but my witch sect originated from Dayu. If Dayu is in danger, I must help! As for affecting others, that's also unavoidable. I can't care too much."
Lin Shiqi was even more angry. She and Zhou Lang were living well over there, but they were inexplicably brought here. Did they deserve it?
Their lives are better now, but when they first came here, they were terrified. The chance of death here is many times higher than over there. Who wouldn't be worried?
"You are the Imperial Master of Dayu. I have no problem with you acting for Dayu. But she is trying to go against me and Zhou Lang under the guise of saving the country. Don't you have any responsibility at all?"
The Imperial Master advised her instead:
"I understand your feelings, but we are all Dayu people. When the country is in trouble, we should make sacrifices. Otherwise, how can the eggs in the nest be safe? The saint must have her reasons for doing this, otherwise why did she insist on marrying your husband?"
Lin Shiqi was angry and somewhat surprised.
When the country is in trouble, the people should make sacrifices. She has this awareness. But they are not pure people of Dayu. The national teacher said this. Could it be that Bai Tangxin did not tell her that Zhou Lang is not a Dayu person?
Yes, Bai Tangxin was plotting to harm Zhou Lang, but he certainly couldn’t say such a thing out loud, and probably didn’t tell the truth to the Imperial Master.
Since the Imperial Master didn't know about it, she didn't want to mention it.
She said coldly:
"When the country is in trouble, every citizen has a duty to perform. I can understand that! But you are acting on your own without any regard for the lives of others. Isn't that too much?"
The Imperial Master was silent for a while, then pulled off his veil.
When Lin Shiqi saw it, he was so shocked that he stood up instantly!
From the outside, the national teacher looked like a young woman and had a normal figure, but her face was covered with wrinkles, as if she had reached middle-aged or old age prematurely, or as if she had been soaked in formalin. It looked extremely inconsistent and weird.
Under Lin Shiqi's horrified gaze, the Imperial Master put on his veil again, and then said slowly:
"Everything you do has a price. You just saw my price. I'm not asking for your pity, and I don't know what you've sacrificed. I just want to tell you that there are some things that we have to do, no matter how high the price!"
Lin Shiqi was speechless.
This national teacher is really cruel. Face is the most important thing for a woman, but she is willing to throw it away.
Although she felt that it was all her own fault, she suddenly lost her resentment.
Forget it, she is not a person without tolerance.
There was nothing more to say if she stayed any longer, so she just said goodbye.
After returning to the room, she closed the door and immediately contacted Assistant Li to ask him to contact Mr. Zhou.
Mr. Zhou now takes tonic medicine every day. He insists on taking the wild medicinal herbs that Lin Shiqi and his wife brought to him, and his condition has improved a lot now.
Lin Shiqi asked the old man what happened to the female star named Bai Tangxin after she and Zhou Lang were crushed into vegetables.
The old man said that Bai Tangxin also fainted and was unconscious, but after a night, she suddenly woke up and had amnesia. She had lost her memory of a long period of time before, and she had no idea what she had done during this period.
Lin Shiqi was silent. Isn't this proof confirmed?
"Grandpa, the reason why Zhou Lang and I were crushed to death and traveled through time was probably because of this female star!"
She told Mr. Zhou what she had learned.
Mr. Zhou was shocked.
"No wonder, that's how it is! Seventeen, your guess is correct, because we found a detonator at the scene!"
After the building collapsed, they easily found the detonator, which was not far from Bai Tangxin, but no one thought of her at the time, because there were other people who were also crushed to death at the scene, and it was well known that Bai Tangxin liked Zhou Lang very much. She had no reason to blow up the building, and even less reason to put herself in danger.
This incident became an unsolved case. Mr. Zhou was worried that Zhou Lang and his wife would overthink it, so he didn't tell them. He just cooperated with the relevant departments and focused on protection. Later, no one continued to attack, and they were still puzzled.
Now that Lin Shiqi said this, it made sense.
"So it's all because of this woman! I'll make a phone call right away and have someone arrest her!"
Mr. Zhou said angrily.
Lin Shiqi stopped him with a wry smile, saying that the man was just possessed by an evil spirit. The real evil doer was Bai Tangxin from Dayu, and it should have nothing to do with the female star over there.
Now that the matter was made clear, Lin Shiqi felt more at ease.
But the next day, Bai Tangxin went to the court again and brought the imperial teacher with him.
Of course, now that the real emperor is in the hall, she is no longer qualified to stand there. She sits in the first seat below with the imperial teacher.
Her expression was very relaxed. Although the current situation was not good, she had a special status and brought up the interests of the country's survival. Who could really stop her?
After the marriage, she would slowly exclude Lin Shiqi. She was a saint, and she had many excuses to do this. What qualifications did a country woman have to share a husband with her?
Lin Shiqi just glanced at her coldly. Was she trying to use her power to overpower others in front of all the ministers?
Xiao Ya Niang naturally did not support Bai Tangxin.
But many ministers supported him and advised Zhou Lang and Lin Shiqi to put the overall situation first. It was just marrying another wife, it was not a big deal.
Even the old Duke frowned and said nothing.
Bai Tangxin's expression became more and more happy. The fact was just as she expected. As long as all the ministers agreed, the emperor could not act arbitrarily.
Zhou Lang and Lin Shiqi also disagreed, and it was impossible for them to agree. This was not only a problem of having too many people in the family, but Bai Tangxin was also cruel and ruthless, and would not care about the lives of others in order to achieve his goals.
Even if Bai Tangxin herself said that she liked Zhou Lang, this cannot be listened to.
Who loves someone and kills him?
Even if it was for the sake of national justice, it would not make sense. Moreover, Lin Shiqi didn't know why Bai Tangxin was sure that Zhou Lang could save Dayu from danger.
