Chapter 4: Words Come True
The emperor died, and Crown Prince Qi Sheng ascended the throne, becoming the new emperor..........
Luo Xi, because she could predict future events, successfully became the Grand Preceptor of the Qi Kingdom. (Luo Xi couldn't predict the future, but she possessed the power of words; whatever she said would become divine, though others were unaware of it.)
Time flies, and six months later,
That day, the pregnant Imperial Concubine sought her out, wanting the Imperial Advisor, Luo Xi, to tell the Emperor that the child in her womb was a lucky star, capable of blessing the Qi Kingdom...
Luo Xi naturally refused.
Two days later,
That day, Luo Xi left the palace and went to Qingpu Temple.
She only brought two maids with her, one named Zhuzhu and the other named Suyan.
Halfway there, Luo Xi encountered an assassin.
Those assassins looked like top-tier killers; it seemed someone had paid them to kill her.
Without saying a word, the dozen or so assassins rushed towards Luo Xi.
Luo Xi: "Stop!"
The next second, the dozen or so assassins, exuding murderous intent, were caught in the hunter's net.
The assassins: "........."
What a disgrace! How could they be caught in such a lousy net?
They wanted to use their swords to cut through the large net.
Luo Xi saw it and said, "You can't cut it."
The assassins didn't believe it. How could their swords, so sharp, not be able to cut through such a tattered net?
Luo Xi looked up at them and asked, "Who sent you?"
Those people didn't want to talk about it; after all, they were assassins, notoriously tight-lipped...
Luo Xi: "Speak!"
The assassins said in unison, "She is a concubine in the palace, the eldest daughter of the prime minister."
The assassins stopped what they were doing and looked at Luo Xi in horror.
Does she know any sorcery?
Luo Xi: "Oh, it was her!"
"Then go and kill her..."
"And while you're at it, kill those masters in the Prime Minister's residence too."
Luo Xi didn't believe that the Consort's family was unaware of the situation.
Half an hour later,
The Prime Minister's Residence
The imperial concubine, who was visiting her family, was startled when she saw more than a dozen assassins suddenly appear in front of her.
The leader of the assassins was someone the imperial concubine knew.
After all, over the years, she's paid them to kill many people she hates...
The Imperial Concubine's eyes lit up. "Is the Imperial Advisor dead?"
Hmph! This is what happens when you dare to go against her.
The assassin ignored her, continuing to thrust his sword into the concubine's chest...
Imperial Concubine: !!!
Were they turned to the enemy?
They took her money and then killed her?
Finally, the leader of the assassins beheaded the imperial concubine with a single sword strike.
The maids were startled and were about to shout when a sword slit their throats.
And so, the imperial concubine was killed by the assassins she had bribed, and her entire family perished as well...
Two weeks later,
Luo Xi felt that Qi Sheng's gaze towards her had been strange and disgusting these past few days.
Qi Sheng: "Imperial Advisor, you should know that I am in love with you, right?"
"You know, there's nothing I can't get if I want it."
"You can continue to be the Imperial Advisor, but you must also become my woman."
Qi Sheng thought Luo Xi only knew prophetic arts and was powerless, which is why he dared to act this way.
He threatened, "If you're not willing, then you can forget about being the Imperial Advisor."
Luo Xi: "........."
"In that case, let's change the emperor of Qi."
Qi Sheng: ? ? ?
"You think you can just change it like that? That's ridiculous."
"I can change your position as Imperial Advisor whenever I want..."
Just then, an arrow shot out from around the corner. Normally, the emperor would have been able to dodge it with his martial arts skills, but his legs were numb and he couldn't move his body.
He watched helplessly as the poisoned arrow pierced his heart...
