Chapter 319 What Kind of Lucky Star Is This?
Princess Mingzhu pursed her lips and said in a delicate voice, "Father, I don't know how to behave like these monks."
The emperor said gently, "The form is not important. You just need to perform a miracle and make it rain."
Princess Mingzhu couldn't help but touch her forehead. "This isn't difficult. As long as I can show that golden mark on my forehead like before, the heavens will naturally respond to me!"
The emperor stroked her head lovingly and said, "Today is a good day, Mingzhu! After today, no one will doubt you anymore. You will be the well-deserved little treasure of the Dayu Dynasty, respected by the world!"
Mingzhu raised the corners of her mouth and raised her head high, "Your Highness, I will obey your orders!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the emperor took Princess Mingzhu to the altar. After sending her up, the emperor returned to his original place.
Princess Mingzhu stood on the high altar. Without her gorgeous jewelry, she looked like a little kid from a wealthy family.
She just had a slightly frown on her face, a cold and arrogant expression, impatience in her eyes, and an arrogance that was inconsistent with her age.
Princess Mingzhu looked around the whole room proudly. Although she was small in stature, she spoke like an adult.
"Today, this princess has been basking in the sun for over half an hour for you! If my prayer for rain is successful today, will you remember my kindness in the future?"
Seeing Princess Mingzhu's confident look, the people couldn't help but feel even more excited and shouted, "I will definitely remember this!"
"Princess, if your prayer for rain succeeds, we will remember your life-saving grace for the rest of our lives!"
"Princess Mingzhu, please pray for rain!"
Princess Mingzhu laughed coldly and said, "If anyone dares to question me in the future, I will definitely punish him with the punishment of burning him alive, making him die a miserable death!"
When these words were spoken, all the civil and military officials as well as the common people showed expressions of surprise and horror.
Daewoo did not have the punishment of burning people with fire.
According to historical records, the punishment of burning people alive with fire was a capital punishment implemented by the Liang Dynasty, which was famous for its tyranny, more than a hundred years ago.
That is, oil is applied to a copper pillar, and charcoal fire is used to heat it from the bottom. The prisoner is forced to walk on the red-hot copper pillar until he can no longer bear it and falls off the pillar and is burned to death in the charcoal fire.
Because the punishment of burning people alive with fire was too cruel, it was abandoned by all dynasties after the Liang Dynasty.
When Princess Mingzhu, who was less than three years old, mentioned this today, everyone felt terrified and their hearts went cold:
Princess Mingzhu is so cruel at such a young age. What will happen to her when she grows up?
Everyone looked at Princess Mingzhu, who didn't look like a little kid at all, with complicated expressions, and all of them were thinking the same question:
Is it really a blessing for Daewoo to have such a lucky star?
Seeing that everyone was stunned, Princess Mingzhu thought that her words had a deterrent effect, and immediately smiled triumphantly at the emperor:
You see, to deal with these despicable people, only by being cruel enough can you make them shut up!
"Next, this princess will pray for rain for you. Open your eyes and see clearly!"
Many ministers shook their heads when they heard this. What does "pray for rain for you" mean?
The princess is really arrogant and rude, and she doesn't have the manners a princess should have!
What kind of lucky star is this!
Princess Mingzhu stood on the altar, closed her eyes and clasped her hands.
The people held their breath, afraid of missing something.
Suddenly, the quiet crowd began to boil like a frying pan, and everyone shouted, "Look!"
A golden light appeared on Princess Mingzhu's forehead. The light flickered, but it was clear enough for everyone to see.
Everyone was shocked by the scene before them, and there was nothing else in their minds except awe.
"Oh my God! A miracle! This is a miracle!"
"Princess Mingzhu is truly a lucky star!"
"Princess Mingzhu, please bless Dayu!"
Everyone knelt down in unison.
The emperor smiled with relief and looked at Princess Mingzhu with pride.
He knew that his beloved little daughter would never let him down.
"Boom..."
There was a faint sound of thunder in the sky.
"It's thundering!" Everyone came back to their senses from the shock and cheered.
"Princess Mingzhu really did pray for rain!"
"We are all saved!"
Just as he finished speaking, there was a loud bang of thunder above his head, and lightning tore a big hole in the clear sky.
The emperor laughed heartily. "My dear ministers, with such loud thunder, the rain is likely to pour! Everyone will be soaked to the skin today!"
The ministers immediately knelt down and said, "Congratulations, Your Majesty! Our dynasty has the protection of Princess Mingzhu, and the river will last forever..."
Before he could even utter the word "mountain", there was another loud thunderclap.
Snap!
The flagpoles of the black flags used to pray for rain were all cut in half!
Immediately afterwards, the black flag burst into flames and turned into ashes in an instant!
This scene happened so suddenly, this turn came without any warning!
Everyone was stunned, as if they were under a spell!
The abbot of Lingji Temple was the first to react, saying in fear, "Your Majesty, this thunder is wrong! It's not thunder for rain, it sounds more like thunder from the Nine Heavens of Punishment!"
The emperor's expression suddenly changed: "What do you mean, abbot?"
The abbot, who usually kept his composure, now looked anxious. "I don't know what went wrong. Logically, even if the rain prayer failed, it wouldn't bring down the Nine Heavens Thunder! Could it be that a demon is hiding here?!"
As if in response to the abbot's words, there was a loud thunder and the altar was split in two.
Princess Mingzhu, who was standing next to the altar, screamed and sat down on the ground.
"Oh my God!" Everyone panicked and knelt on the ground, shaking constantly.
"What the hell is going on?"
"How come a good prayer for rain has caused the heavens to be furious?"
"Oh my God! Please kill that evildoer! This has nothing to do with us ordinary people!"
"Mingzhu, come back quickly!" The emperor kicked the palace maids beside him a few times, "What are you still standing there for? Go and get the princess!"
The palace maids hurriedly ran up the stairs and reached out to hug Princess Mingzhu.
"Get out of here!" Princess Mingzhu suddenly yelled, "Who on earth is this evil creature that has disturbed my prayers for rain? Since I'm a lucky star, God, you should first send rain to me, and then kill that evil creature!"
"As expected of my favorite daughter!" The emperor said admiringly, "She's so domineering that even I have to admit defeat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a loud "boom" that frightened the emperor so much that he jumped up.
The steps leading to the altar were smashed to pieces.
Princess Mingzhu rolled down the high steps.
"Ah! Father, save me!"
As Princess Mingzhu screamed in panic, the golden light on her forehead lit up again.
Then, strange things happened.
The golden light seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible force and was gradually withdrawn from Princess Mingzhu's forehead.
“No!”
Princess Mingzhu screamed, and the light on her forehead disappeared.
Under everyone's gaze, that ray of golden light flew towards the horizon and soon disappeared...
