After hearing Wan Wan's thoughts, Emperor Wu of Xia suddenly found them interesting. Although he knew that the visitor had bad intentions, Emperor Wu of Xia had similar thoughts to Wan Wan and wanted to know the other party's strength.
"Xuan!"
The person who came in was a white-haired old Taoist. Wanwan looked at him and felt uncomfortable.
"Your Majesty, there is a demon in the palace. This demon is very powerful. Not only has it bewitched Your Majesty, it has also been harming the people."
The old Taoist priest stared at Wanwan with his sharp eyes and took out a mirror from his hand. "I came here today to capture the demon."
"Have you heard that Taoist Master Yunyou's magic mirror is very powerful? Everything he sees is a demon."
"Is there really a demon in the palace? It's so scary."
"Huh? I'm scared to death. If there really is a goblin, we must find a way to get rid of it."
"Don't worry, Master Yunyou is a monster hunter. He has great magical powers and has done a lot of good things for the people over the years he has been traveling."
[Alas, it's true that the first bird to stick its head out gets shot. I just wanted to make some money, but why did I become a thorn in your side?]
"But, will Daddy and Mommy believe it later? If they do, then I'm doomed, right?"
[Oh, I was careless, careless. I shouldn't trust anyone if I can't protect myself.]
Wanwan was very anxious at the moment. How could she hand over her life to this tyrant?
[It seems I still don't understand the dangers of the world. I trusted them too much. I really... treated them as my parents. Was it because I lacked love in my previous life?]
Tears flowed unconsciously from the corners of Wanwan's eyes.
Emperor Wu of Xia was also speechless. What the hell was this girl thinking of? He hadn't even said a word yet, so how could he be shot while lying down?
Empress Xian, who was standing by, was also very worried. When she heard Wanwan's thoughts, she felt extremely distressed.
How much suffering did this child endure in his previous life to have such a lack of trust in anyone?
The so-called magic mirror swung in the air.
Finally, it shot towards her, and then, in the bronze mirror, a peach tree spirit suddenly appeared, grinning, as if ready to hunt for food at any time.
Emperor Wu of Xia patted Wanwan and said softly, "Don't be afraid, Wanwan. Your father will always protect you."
"Yes, don't worry, mother will also protect my Wanwan with her life."
The two of them made promises to poor Wanwan.
[Is this... the feeling of having a father and mother?] Wanwan's heart sank, as if at this moment she was not afraid of anything.
"ah!!"
Everyone screamed, adding another level of terror to Wanwan's appearance. Everyone stared at Wanwan in Emperor Wu's hands in horror, as if they had known for a long time that she was a demon.
"Your Majesty, please hand this demon over to me."
The voice was cold and had a kind of oppressive feeling. Humph, he naturally knew, even if the other party was the emperor.
He was also inevitably forced to hand over his beloved daughter under pressure from public opinion.
"Your Majesty, please reconsider. For the sake of the people, please hand over this demon."
The person who spoke was from Minister Liu's party.
"You're talking nonsense! Your daughter gave birth to a demon. This is my granddaughter. Open your dog eyes and see clearly."
The speaker was her rugged and loyal grandfather.
"Marshal Yang, the facts are right before our eyes. Why are you still trying to argue?"
This time it was the Prime Minister who spoke, his attitude and voice extremely arrogant, as if he had something to hold against the Emperor and the Yang family. He wanted to dampen their spirits at once.
"Humph, you think my granddaughter is a demon just because of a broken mirror. You stinky Taoist priest, bring me your broken mirror. I want to take a look and see what kind of demons Minister Liu and the Prime Minister are."
After saying that, he stood up directly from the table.
"You...what are you doing?"
Wanwan's domineering grandfather slapped the old Taoist priest away with a single blow. He then snatched the mirror and prepared to take a photo of Minister Liu.
The scene was in an uproar, and the banquet could not continue at all. Minister Liu was also frightened and hid everywhere.
Crucially, Wanwan's clever grandfather discovered the trap. Then, Minister Liu's photo revealed a tiger spirit. The Prime Minister's photo revealed a lion spirit. The situation spiraled out of control. Someone else's photo revealed a fox spirit.
Wanwan's grandfather and several uncles hurried over to report, "Your Majesty, you just saw it too. They are also goblins. He...they are all goblins."
Emperor Wu of Xia was laughing so hard in his heart, Yang Guozhong is truly a talented person.
"Master Yunyou, could it be that... my court is filled with demons?"
The look in Emperor Wu of Xia's eyes was like that of a nighthawk searching for food.
“Your Majesty… Your Majesty…”
The old Taoist picked up his bronze mirror in fear.
[Hahaha... If you don't tell others, won't they know? That bronze mirror has a mechanism. Normally, it's just an ordinary mirror, but if you turn the mechanism, it can play out the pre-set image inside.]
At first, Emperor Wu of Xia just knew that there must be something wrong with his bronze mirror, but he didn't expect Wanwan to explain it in such detail.
It’s hard to imagine Wanwan’s brain structure.
"Bring up his bronze mirror!" Emperor Wu of Xia shouted coldly.
Emperor Wu of Xia took the bronze mirror and found that there was indeed a button on the back of the mirror that could be turned. When the button was turned, the same pattern would appear no matter who was in the mirror.
"What else do you have to say?" Emperor Wu of Xia looked at him.
"Your Majesty...I..."
"Come here, drag him away and execute him by slow slicing! You actually plotted to murder my Ninth Princess. You cheated me into giving you free food and drink, but you even spared such a young child. If I let you go, I would be doing my poor daughter a disservice!"
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, how dare I murder the Ninth Princess? Someone instigated me to do this."
"Hmm?" Emperor Wu of Xia looked at her meaningfully.
"It was Minister Liu. He came to see me in person. He wanted me to come to the palace and identify the Ninth Princess as a demon. He wanted me to take the princess away and then... burn her to death."
After saying this, the Taoist priest, who was famous for his charlatanism, knelt down. Then his pants got wet...
Emperor Wu of Xia glanced at it with disdain, wanting to throw it out immediately. But he couldn't, because the trial wasn't over yet.
"Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense. How could I possibly harm the little princess?"
"Didn't you just follow her and say that the princess is a demon?" Emperor Wu of Xia's sharp eyes did not miss any details.
"I...I...I was misled by his lies and worried about the safety of the country, so I said this. It was all due to my own confusion."
Big beads of sweat rolled down Minister Liu's forehead, and he cursed the Taoist priest in his heart a hundred thousand times. Isn't he a famous Taoist priest throughout the country?
Isn’t it great to catch monsters?
How come in the end... he turned out to be a charlatan, damn, I got cheated to death!
"Your Majesty, I have a token from Minister Liu."
