Chapter 83 But I also want to rebel
"I remember there was a woman who could make the servants in my mansion obey her with just a few words. Although it was only for a very short time, it left a deep impression on me."
"It's just that Yong'er and Pan'er weren't lost in the mansion, so her method didn't work for us. I gave her some silver and let her go. But the day after she left, I couldn't remember her appearance at all. Even no one else in the mansion could remember her."
"Now that I think about it, Bu Yanfu's voice and tone were somewhat similar to that woman's. I also noticed that when she spoke, Prince Yongning seemed a little confused."
"Although Prince Yongning is not very smart and has various minor flaws, and has failed miserably in raising his children, he is definitely not confused when it comes to major matters. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to live so peacefully until now, having the Crown Prince trust him so much."
Bu Ruo looked at Bai with a smile. She was indeed worthy of being the wife of Marquis Guangling and the head of the Bai family, a wealthy merchant family in Jiangnan. She was indeed very vicious in seeing things.
"Aunt Bai is right. There is indeed something about Bu Yanfu. But it's not a ghost or a god. It's more like... a charm."
"Charm?" Bai looked at Bu Ruo in shock.
"I've thought of many possibilities, but I never imagined it could be charm magic. After all, charm magic is banned in the Great Zhou... No, not just the Great Zhou, but in the Three Kingdoms. Anyone found practicing it privately will be executed."
"Moreover, the art of enchantment was lost a hundred years ago. Even if someone knew how to do it, they wouldn't easily display it. Those people would even come and go without a trace, just like the woman I found."
"I didn't expect Bu Yanfu to be so capable that she even learned the charm technique and used it on King Yongning."
"I told you, even if Prince Yongning is stupid, he wouldn't kneel at the gate of Concubine Shun's palace for a woman. After all, the emperor said last time that she would never be allowed to marry into the royal family in this lifetime."
Bu Ruo put down the teacup and said, "She is a concubine and cannot be included in the royal family tree, so she is not considered to be married into the royal family."
"But her enchantment really needs to be thoroughly investigated, especially the person behind her."
Bu Ruo kept this incident in mind and went to Xiao Yulan's study as soon as he got home.
"Ruo'er, why are you here?"
Bu Ruo didn't say anything, and sat down and said, "I went out today and met Bu Yanfu, Tian Shi and Prince Yongning."
Xiao Yulan raised his eyebrows: "What, are you being bullied? This king will help you vent your anger."
Bu Ruo quickly waved her hands: "No, no, I just found something interesting. I found that Bu Yanfu is a little unusual. She must be able to use magic. Even the wife of the Marquis of Guangling has noticed it."
Xiao Yulan was stunned: "She? Can use charm?"
"As far as I know, there are only four people in these three countries who can perform magic. One of them passed away a few years ago, one is in our mansion, and the only two left are missing and have not been heard from in years."
Bu Ruo's eyes suddenly widened: "You mean... there is someone in Prince Zhan's mansion who can use magic? Can you call her over to show me? I have never seen real magic."
Xiao Yulan laughed and then shouted to the outside, "Cen Nan, ask Meiying to come over."
Not long after, a woman dressed in black and wearing a veil walked in.
"I greet the prince and the princess."
Bu Ruo looked at her curiously, and after a long while, he looked at Xiao Yulan: "Is she the one who can use charm? Your Highness, can you give her to me? I want her!"
"Okay." Xiao Yulan nodded happily. "Meiying, from now on you will follow the princess, and your subordinates will also obey the princess's orders. The princess is your master."
"yes."
Although Phantom's voice was cold, Bu Ruo could still hear the dissatisfaction in his voice.
"You don't seem very willing to follow me."
"I dare not."
"You just don't want to."
Phantom raised his head, which had been lowered, and looked at Bu Ruo, with a hint of disapproval in his eyes: "Since the princess asked, I will speak out boldly. The prince will do great things in the future, and I and the people I am training are also planning for the future."
"The princess shouldn't have taken us away just because she thought it was fun. This will affect the prince's plan."
Bu Ruo blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "Well... you just think that I'm incompetent and will affect your prince's rebellion, but I want to rebel too."
Phantom: ...
Xiao Yulan: ...
"Since you're so unconvinced, how about we have a competition?"
"If you win today, just treat it as my foolishness and I'll apologize. But if you lose, I'll still give you a chance to choose. I don't want anyone with two hearts around me."
"Hmm... I heard that you can use charms. What else can you do besides charms?"
The Phantom's voice was still cold: "In addition to charm, I also know illusion."
Bu Ruo sat on the chair and said, "Okay, you can use all the magic you know to deal with this princess. Let's begin."
Seeing Xiao Yulan nod, Phantom slowly took off her veil...
How can I describe this face? Blurry? Can't remember it?
But when Bu Ruo remembered what was written in the Book of Revelation, he focused all his mental energy on his eyes and suddenly laughed: "Hmm... He looks good, but he doesn't like to smile much."
Phantom was startled, then looked at Bu Ruo: "Princess~"
"Hmm?" Bu Ruo looked up into her eyes, only to see a streak of light flashing across the eyes of the phantom, slowly forming whirlpools that seemed to suck people in, making people feel dizzy.
"Princess, please pour me a cup of tea."
The Phantom was no longer as indifferent as before, as if he had become a different person in an instant. He had a smile on his face, and there was a bit of charm in his tenderness and a bit of charm in his gentleness. His voice was like the sound of a kingfisher splashing water and a yellow oriole singing, making people want to offer all the beauty in the world to him with both hands.
Bu Ruo nodded mechanically, stood up and picked up the teapot on the table.
"Miss……"
Bi'er cried out anxiously behind her, but Bu Ruo continued to pour the tea slowly as if he didn't hear her.
"Princess, could you please pass the tea to me?"
Bu Ruo picked up the teacup and turned slowly. Meiying looked at the teacup that was about to be in his hand and a smug smile appeared on his face.
She had heard Cen Nan say that the princess was extraordinary, but now she saw that she was nothing special.
But just when the teacup was about to be placed in Phantom's hand, Bu Ruo suddenly laughed and drank the tea in the cup.
"I am also very thirsty. If you want to drink, just pour it yourself."
Phantom: ...
"How is this possible... How is this possible..."
Phantom looked at Bu Ruo in shock, and his voice changed again. This time, it was no longer as tender as before, but instead sounded like the coldest days of winter...
"Phantom, no..."
"No problem."
Seeing that Cen Nan was about to interrupt Meiying, Xiao Yulan stopped him: "I believe in Ruo'er."
