Chapter 191 There will be thunder on the Lantern Festival
"Not only that, starting from the beginning of spring, there will be frequent earth dragons turning over, countless houses will collapse, and the people will be terrified."
"The famine lasted for a long time. There was no harvest in the autumn, and the winter was even more difficult. We had eaten all the bark and grass roots. The people were in dire straits and their lives were in misery."
"Your Majesty, you should ask the Ministry of Revenue to start storing grain, just in case."
After saying this, she bent her knees slightly and bowed again.
"Everything I said is true. If I lie, I will be struck by lightning and die a miserable death."
"What nonsense!"
Chi Ming thought she was talking nonsense. Dongxi was fine now, so how come there would be nothing to harvest and such a large-scale earth dragon upheaval?
Earth dragons turn over every few years, but they usually only occur in one state or one county.
How is it possible that the entire Dongxi has turned upside down? Add to that the famine, wouldn't it be a country in ruins?
What nonsense!
Seeing that he didn't believe her, Yun Shiwei was extremely anxious and spoke more and more hurriedly: "Your Highness, not only our Dongxi, but also Xirong and Nanzhao will be in the same situation. By then, there will be starving people everywhere, countless casualties, and it will be extremely miserable."
She looked sad, her hands unconsciously clenching the hem of her skirt, as if she had foreseen the tragic scene of hell on earth, and she hoped that Chi Ming would take action and believe her words.
"The Western Rong launched a war because of this, and the prince had to go to the front line to fight, and because of this..."
She didn't say anything else, and as a result she was shot by a poisoned arrow and died.
Shu Feng felt the same way. Was it still the prosperous Dongxi as she described?
"What evidence do you have?"
"If there is no evidence, then it would be deceiving the prince. What crime should be committed?"
Yun Shiwei raised three fingers and swore: "This minister is not lying."
Shu Feng felt that she shouldn't have the courage to come to the Regent's Palace to fool the prince. Could it be true?
I feel very mysterious.
If it is true, then it will be like hell on earth.
It’s better to believe it!
So he suggested: "Tell me what might have happened recently. If what you say is true, it can be believed; if it is false, it is a capital crime."
Yun Shiwei frowned and thought seriously: "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the night of the Lantern Festival, there will be thunder for two hours."
In her previous life, she was frightened when she was watching lanterns, and the memory was particularly vivid.
Shu Feng thought she must be talking nonsense. Two hours of thunder had never happened in summer.
"The results will be clear on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."
Chi Ming stared at Yun Shiwei without comment and asked, "What else do you know?"
Yun Shiwei paused for a moment, a hint of hesitation flashed in her eyes, and then she mustered up the courage to say, "Not only that, Your Majesty, I also know some secrets about you and the Emperor, but it is inconvenient to talk about it at this time. Please give Shiwei a chance, and let me tell you slowly later."
Chi Ming was so wise that he knew she was going to negotiate terms, so he calmly asked, "What are your terms?"
Yun Shiwei bit her lips and said after struggling for a long time:
"I want to protect my family."
Xishun thought about the Yun family. Currently, only Yun Yuyan was exiled. The former Concubine Yun was banished to the cold palace, and the second branch of the Yun family was not involved.
"Isn't your family fine? What security are you talking about?"
"I know that my uncle Yun Yizhi has always harbored the intention of rebellion. If something happens in the future, I hope that the prince will show leniency and let the second branch of the Yun family go."
"To be honest, except for me, my father, mother, brothers and sisters in the second branch of the Yun family are completely unaware of what my uncle did, let alone participated in it. I hope Your Majesty can see clearly."
When Chi Ming heard this, he couldn't help but look at her strangely, questioning: "Do you know that if the Yun family succeeds in their rebellion, you will be the princess, so why are you here to report him?"
Yun Shiwei couldn't help but shudder. The tragic scenes of her being abused by the eldest prince of Nanzhao after the marriage emerged in her mind, and she was still frightened.
"In Shi Wei's opinion, the emperor is wise and brave, and the prince is wholeheartedly for the people. Yun Yizi's move goes against the will of the people and is doomed to fail."
"I have tried to persuade him, but I can't get close to my uncle. I am really powerless and can only do my best to protect my family."
"Then do you know when he rebelled?"
Yun Shiwei lowered her head slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then slowly said, "I know."
However, she did not specify the exact time.
Chi Ming frowned slightly, looking a little impatient, and said affirmatively: "You have other conditions."
Yun Shiwei's cheeks flushed, and she said timidly: "I would like to be protected by Your Majesty, please have mercy on me."
When she said this, her meaning was obvious. She clearly wanted to enter the Regent's Palace and become the prince's woman.
Shu Feng on the side secretly complained in his heart and couldn't help thinking in his mind: After going through so much trouble, it turns out that this is the plan. So it is just to enter the Regent's Palace?
Behind the screen, Bai Qinghuan couldn't help but breathe heavier when he heard what Yun Shiwei said.
In her opinion, Yun Shiwei actually knew what would happen in the future. Could it be that the world she lived in was a book written by someone else?
Is Yun Shiwei a book traveler?
Really, why didn't she bring the script when she came?
Comparing yourself to others will make you feel thief!
But she could also be reborn.
She didn't know what the situation was, but it was obvious that Yun Shiwei must be aware of the major events that would happen in the next few years.
We have to find a way to get the information out of him.
If she were just allowed to stay in the Regent's Palace, wouldn't that threaten her position?
No, absolutely not!
My mind was racing, trying to think of other solutions.
Her heavy breathing due to shock was keenly caught by Chi Ming.
Chi Ming thought she was jealous and was secretly happy, thinking: This little woman knows how to be jealous, she has made progress!
To Yun Shiwei, his expression became even more stern: "If what you said is true, I will protect the safety of your Yun Family's Second Branch, but forget about entering the Regent's Palace."
When Yun Shiwei heard this, her body shuddered violently. She looked up at Chi Ming in disbelief, feeling aggrieved: Even though she had told him so many secrets, couldn't she get the prince's favor?
"Your Majesty, don't you want to know what will happen to you in the future? This is a matter of life and death."
"No need, you can leave now."
"Your Highness, Shi Wei's dream will be helpful to you. Shi Wei does not seek the position of the principal wife. Even if it is an insignificant position, she still wants to serve you."
Chi Ming felt very uncomfortable when he thought of another woman appearing in the mansion, because he belonged to Bai Qinghuan alone.
No one else can covet him.
Seeing this, Shu Feng quickly asked Yun Shiwei to leave:
"Miss Yun, let's talk about it after the Lantern Festival."
Yun Shiwei retreated unwillingly, but it also left her with hope.
She was certain in her heart that she could only wait for Jing Lei's matter to be verified, and after the prince believed it, she could then bring up the matter of entering the palace.
There are just a few suspicious points. Neither Bai Qinghuan nor the Queen had ever experienced such a situation at the banquet last night in their previous lives.
