Chapter 988 Previous Life (2)
“What nonsense are you talking about?” Bai Lu frowned and looked at Shen Miao again: “Mother… Madam, who knows where he might be a charlatan. Don’t listen to his nonsense.”
Mo Qing also pretended to drive away the strange old man.
“Wait.” Shen Miao said, “It’s been quite boring along the way, let’s just listen to what others have to say.”
The old man bowed again in a mock manner and said, "Madam, there is a dark aura between your eyebrows. I'm afraid it's not good. The end of this road is a bad omen. If you turn your horse around now, you can avoid this disaster. Madam, I still advise you, this road is the road to the underworld, don't go on, there is no turning back."
"You're getting more and more outrageous!" Shuangjiang's face turned pale with anger. "Who are you cursing?"
Shen Miao was good-tempered. She had been in Qin for a long time, and when she met anyone from Ming Qi, she felt the same joy as someone from her hometown. Even if the old man was talking nonsense, she was not angry. She just smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Taoist priest, but I have to take this road. My children are on this road, and I have to go home."
The strange Taoist sighed deeply and said, "As expected." He looked at Shen Miao and said, "We met by chance, and I am giving you a chance to meet." After saying that, he took out a red string from his sleeve and was about to give it to Shen Miao, but was stopped by Mo Qing. He had no choice but to hand the red string to Mo Qing. Mo Qing looked left and right and saw nothing strange, so he handed it to Shen Miao.
"This red string is a gift from me, Madam, as a token of my gratitude. If you tie it around your wrist, you will achieve your own destiny." He said solemnly, "Madam, please remember that the laws of nature are treacherous, and everything depends on human effort. I can read fate, but I cannot change it. Anyone who can change your fate is not me. Heaven is merciful, and there are calamities as well as destiny. This red string is a question, and one day, Madam, you will find your own answer."
After saying that, he laughed out loud a few times, turned around and strode away.
The Taoist priest was talking nonsense, and his predictions were all extremely ominous, which made Bailu and Shuangjiang feel unhappy. Bailu said, "Your Majesty, please don't take that weirdo's words to heart. He must be confused."
"Don't wear this thing anymore." Shuangjiang also said, "It's unlucky."
Shen Miao, however, looked left and right, and found the red string extremely adorable. She inexplicably couldn't let it go, and instead tied it around her wrist, smiling, "It's said that since it's fate, even a chance encounter is also a fate, so just wear it. It doesn't matter if it's fake, but a real one is more spiritual, isn't it better?"
With that being said, Bai Lu and Shuang Jiang had nothing more to say. Mo Qing told the carriage team ahead to set off and then started moving again.
The wind and sand in the distance almost covered up the figures of people, but there was no trace of the strange old man on the road ahead.
…
Returning to Mingqi, it was not like what Shuangjiang said, "after suffering comes happiness".
The world is changing every moment, the situation will change, and people's hearts will change.
Being the queen, aside from this status, wasn't anything special. Sometimes, when I think about it, it feels like it's no better than the days of humiliation I endured in Qin. In Qin, the harm was all overt, but in Ming Qi, it was all done in secret. It felt like I'd suffered a hidden loss, unable to speak of it, yet still had to suffer the consequences, making others laugh at me.
Shen Miao sat in Kunning Palace, looking at the withered red sleeve grass on the table, with a somewhat gloomy expression.
The Red Sleeve Grass was sent by Mo Qing, who said it was a rare spiritual herb. It actually looked very beautiful, like a woman's sleeve swaying in the wind, hence the name Red Sleeve Grass. However, for some reason, it had withered recently, and Shen Miao had no intention of taking care of it.
It has been a few years since she came back to Mingqi, and her life has not been good in these years.
