No one had ever seen such a large relic before.
But the next moment, when they saw the state of the relic, their expressions changed drastically.
"What, what's going on?"
The relic was half red and half white.
How did the sacred object end up like this?
“My family has always carefully worshipped the sacred objects, but some time ago the sacred objects suddenly started to weep blood, and I have been plagued by nightmares.”
“In my dream, a god riding on auspicious clouds told me that I must find divine fire to destroy this thing, otherwise it will cause turmoil in the six realms and bring suffering to the human world.”
"This sacred object has protected my Zhao family for generations. If it hadn't been entrusted to me by the gods and Buddhas in my dreams, how could I bear to destroy it?"
A moment of silence fell over the hall, and then everyone looked at the Tibetan king on the throne.
The Tibetan king was shocked and somewhat panicked.
"Did you really dream of gods and Buddhas?"
"I don't know if I dreamt of gods or Buddhas, but the monk was riding on clouds and wearing a radiant robe, with a kind and benevolent face that seemed to be saving all living beings."
"This...this is a serious matter. Let's discuss it further. Let's have dinner."
However, the Tibetans didn't eat very well at this meal.
After the meal, they left in a hurry, presumably to discuss how to handle the situation.
Princess Min'er escorted Fang Qing and the other two out of the palace and arranged for them to stay at the embassy.
Princess Min'er clearly believed Zhao Shi'an's words and became much more respectful to him. She didn't dare to say anything and ran away after dropping them off.
Once the Tibetans were gone, Fang Zhu looked at Zhao Shi'an with a mocking expression.
"I never realized you had such acting skills."
Fang Qing also looked at Zhao Shi'an.
yes.
If she hadn't known everything about the relic, she would almost have believed what Zhao Shi'an said.
"How do you know I'm lying?" Zhao Shi'an glanced at Fang Zhu and began to inspect the house they were staying in.
“I’m not stupid. If the sacred object really protected you, how come your father ended up settling down in Fangjia Village?”
"Good to know. There are too many people here, so make sure they don't overhear."
Fang Zhu crossed her arms and looked at Fang Qing.
"Be careful, he might have been putting on an act for you all along."
Zhao Shi'an glanced at her coldly, and as he threw the porcelain cup at her, Fang Zhu dodged away.
The room was well-maintained, and soon someone came to bring them hot water for washing up.
When they lay down on the bed, neither of them could fall asleep.
"I think these Tibetans believe you and will agree to our proposal tomorrow."
"Probably."
"But do you think the Emperor knows about this yet?"
Zhao Shi'an turned over and pulled Fang Qing into his arms, holding her close, his voice tinged with sleepiness.
"Whatever, let's go to sleep."
Meanwhile, in the Imperial Study of the Capital Palace.
When the Emperor heard Fan Li's report on the whereabouts of Zhao Shi'an, he was so angry that he smashed a paperweight.
"Zhao Shi'an, this is outrageous! You've made this decision on your own!"
Everyone in the Imperial Study knelt down in unison, and no one dared to speak.
The Emperor calmed his breathing.
He naturally knew that Zhao Shi'an's actions would benefit him as the emperor, but he was still angered by Zhao Shi'an's behavior of not respecting him as the emperor.
"Since he wants to stay in Yongzhou, then he shouldn't come back. He and his wife can only come back when they've turned all of Yongzhou into farmland!"
Since the Emperor has said so, Fan Li has no choice but to relay the message.
