Chapter 212: I'll beat you up if I want to, do you have any objection? !

Li Qiuer's eyes lit up and she quickly took it and flipped through it, turning directly to that page. She said to Mu Nanzhou with great excitement: "Look, cousin, this is what it says..."

Mu Nanzhou took the ancient book and looked at it carefully, and found that it was indeed true.

He glared at Xu Yanyi and threw the ancient book in front of Xu Yanyi: "You want me to read it out! This ancient book is a record of strange stories compiled by Wang Chong, a great scholar of the previous dynasty. It can't be considered an ancient book, but it shows that it is true! Xu Yanyi, what else do you have to say! You actually use the art of pessimism to harm others, you..."

"Hey, wait, what are you in such a hurry for? Please just finish reading what you are reading."

Xu Yanyi curled her lips, turned the page, casually pressed the book flat on the table in front of her, and pointed.

"Here, have you seen this page? It talks about a method that is very similar to the one we just mentioned, but it has the opposite effect. It uses Buddhist techniques to pray for the dead to ascend to heaven and be reborn, and it can also pray for the happiness and well-being of the living. The method is the same, the only difference is the scriptures on the bag. The scriptures used in the technique of hatred are curses, while this one is a prayer for blessings."

Xu Yanyi stepped back so that the guests who were crowding over to watch could see clearly.

Li Qiuer was a little anxious. Xu Yanyi wanted to confuse people. She had someone personally supervise the embroidery of the scriptures on the cloth bag. Naturally, they were cursed scriptures. Now Xu Yanyi wanted to whitewash them. After all, they were all Sanskrit that the people of Northern Qin could not understand. She could say anything!

Thinking of this, Li Qiuer immediately said: "Why do you have to make excuses at this time? That is clearly the scripture of the curse! I also studied Buddhism for a few days before, and I happen to know a little Sanskrit. This is the scripture of the curse!"

Master Yue glanced at Li Qiu'er with a cold look and said calmly: "It is meaningless to argue about this matter. Since everyone has their own opinions, why not invite everyone to come and see what this scripture is?"

After the conversation ended, one of the guests said, "Isn't Hanlin University Scholar Zhou Fushi proficient in Sanskrit? He was the one who copied and translated the Buddhist scriptures in hundreds of temples in and outside the capital, so of course he knows Sanskrit."

Zhou Fushi was a representative of cultured people in Beiqin. When his name was mentioned, everyone nodded.

Xu Yanyi raised his eyebrows: "Prince Nanling, do you dare to ask Lord Zhou to come over and verify it?"

Mu Nanzhou's heart tightened. Why was this woman so stubborn when the situation was obviously the most disadvantageous to Xu Yanyi? If she had just been submissive and cried to him about being wronged, he might have helped her. But now she was...

Before Mu Nanzhou could answer, Li Qiuer spoke up: "In that case, I'd like to trouble my cousin to send someone to invite Lord Zhou to come. If you dare to do it, you must take the responsibility! I hope that when the princess is slapped in the face by Lord Zhou, she will plead guilty and accept the punishment!"

"This princess also gives you this sentence."

Xu Yanyi curled her lips slowly.

Master Yue whispered in her ear: "When did you learn Sanskrit?"

Before, when Xu Yanyi personally dug out the seven cloth bags in the yard under the guidance of the little green snake, she only took a look at the Sanskrit embroidered on the cloth bags and scolded Li Qiuer for a long time, saying that this woman was vicious enough.

At that time, Master Yue was standing beside her with a confused look on his face, watching her swearing while quickly undoing some of the embroidered scriptures and re-embroidering other words, all in Sanskrit.

At first glance, people who don't understand Sanskrit really can't tell the difference.

Even if one understands Sanskrit, one would not be able to tell that she had tampered with the text unless one tried very hard to read it.

But Xu Yanyi never believed in ghosts and gods, nor did she believe in Buddhism. So when did she learn Sanskrit?

Xu Yanyi was stunned. Wow, she can speak eight languages, some weird minor languages, even some tribal and country dialects. She knows so many of them that she can't even count them all. It's just Sanskrit, how difficult is that?

But Xu Yanyi was too embarrassed to say it, after all, this was ancient times.

Xu Yanyi coughed twice and blinked innocently at Master Yue: "In the past three years, I have been wronged as the Princess of Nanling. Mu Nanzhou and Li Qiu'er are looking forward to killing me every day. I have no relatives to rely on, so naturally I just pray to the gods and chant Buddha's name. I have chanted so much that I only know a little bit of Sanskrit."

Unconsciously, Master Yue recalled that last time Xu Yanyi found a copy of the original Buddhist scripture in the library of Baoshizhai and read it with great interest.

This is the extent of it, and this is also called knowing a little bit?

Although Master Yue and Xu Yanyi did not do anything excessive, they kept whispering to each other from time to time, completely ignoring the gazes of those present.

Especially, he simply treated Mu Nanzhou as invisible!

Mu Nanzhou looked so angry that he was almost fuming. If there weren't so many people present and Zhan Qiyue knew a lot about him, he couldn't get angry at this time, otherwise he would definitely be furious!

But even so, the anger in Mu Nanzhou's heart was already burning!

Li Qiuer looked at him like this, jealousy and hatred intertwined in her heart. She must get rid of Xu Yanyi today! Xu Yanyi, if you don't die, how can I take the position! Mu Nanzhou always has a place for you in his heart!

Everyone present had different thoughts, and no one knew what they were thinking.

At this time, the servant brought Zhou Fushi in to report: "Your Majesty, Master Zhou is here."

"Your humble servant pays respect to the prince and the princess."

Zhou Fushi saluted. He hesitated a little when he saluted Xu Yanyi. After all, saluting the eldest princess and the princess in Beiqin were different. But seeing that Xu Yanyi didn't care, he was more casual.

Mu Nanzhou held back his anger and pointed at the seven cloth bags on the ground: "Master Zhou, you have come at the right time. Can you please take a look at the scriptures embroidered on those cloth bags? Are they curse scriptures or blessing scriptures?"

When Zhou Fushi arrived, he had already heard what the person who picked him up had said. He didn't ask any more questions and walked up quickly to carefully identify it.

Li Qiuer gave Xu Yanyi a mocking look, "You're pretending to be so calm even when your death is imminent. You'll be in trouble soon!"

After a while, Zhou Fu Shi had obviously finished identifying it. Just to avoid mistakes, he also brought a few teachers with whom he often discussed academic matters, and showed them the cloth bag.

After everyone had finished reading, Zhou Fushi clasped his fists and said to Mu Nanzhou: "To answer your question, Your Highness, I and these teachers have all read it. The scripture on the bag is a blessing scripture, not a curse scripture."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was shocked.

"Oh my god, so I guess you misunderstood the princess?"

"I said the princess wouldn't do such a vicious thing. There must be some hidden reason behind the rebellion."

"Stop arguing. Didn't Li Qiuer say that she knows Sanskrit? Why is what she said different from what Lord Zhou and the others said?"

"Then you must trust Master Zhou!"

"That means it was Li Qiu'er who falsely accused the princess!"

Everyone looked at Li Qiuer.

Li Qiuer's face turned pale. She pointed at Zhou Fushi in disbelief and screamed, "Impossible! These are clearly cursed scriptures embroidered here. Do you know how to do it? Did Xu Yanyi bribe you? Or do you have a secret affair with Xu Yanyi? You shameless thing, you..."

Bang!

Bang!

Xu Yanyi's movements were extremely fast. Except for Master Yue, no one present saw how she moved, not even Mu Nanzhou.

It was only when they heard the noise that they realized Xu Yanyi had already slapped Li Qiuer twice!
