Chapter 15: I Really Want to Hide Her
Gao Tang walked up to Lord Sun holding the box and slowly opened it.
"this……!"
Sun Wangqian took a closer look, was stunned for a moment, then his pupils suddenly widened and his face turned as black as ink.
With a snap, he slammed the box shut.
Lord Sun clenched his hands into fists as if he had seen something dirty, and his joints made crisp sounds because he was squeezing too hard.
Shen Tingyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. Just now, seeing Lord Sun so confident, she thought she was going to fail. She had even thought of her own way out.
She looked at his rapidly changing expression with amusement, "Master Sun, do you believe it now?"
"Master, I believe it." Sun Wangqian closed his eyes and said with some difficulty, "Did something really happen at the border and... General Luo?"
It’s good to believe it, Shen Tingyu nodded.
Then she turned and looked at the people kneeling on the ground. Her eyes turned cold and she said indifferently, "Is there anyone who doesn't believe it? Tell me your name."
The ministers looked around, and finally their eyes fell on the regent.
Of course they believed it. After all, she would expose the secrets of anyone who didn't believe her. Who could stand in this hall and be completely clean?
The Regent had a gloomy face and his eyes were as sharp as knives. If looks could kill, Shen Tingyu would probably have been stabbed into a hedgehog by his eyes.
He waved his sleeves, looked at her angrily, and stood up from the ground.
It was rare to see his father-in-law being humiliated, so Xin Hongying was in a good mood and took in everything.
Looking at Shen Tingyu's cold and aloof aura, which was completely different from the voodoo doll, sometimes soft and cute, sometimes cold, and unusually lively, he couldn't take his eyes away for a moment.
But she was too dazzling.
Among all the civil and military officials in the court, she was the only one in his eyes. The smile that appeared on Xin Hongying's lips flashed by and disappeared completely.
A strange feeling suddenly arose in his heart. His five fingers gripped the armrests of the dragon throne. His big hands gradually exerted force. The blue veins in his hands bulged and throbbed, which was particularly conspicuous on his fair hands.
An uncontrollable thought arose in Xin Hongying's heart. She really wanted to hide her so that only he could see her.
The system's voice suddenly rang out.
[Host, Xiao Qi wants to remind you in advance that the Transformation Pill is about to expire.]
Shen Tingyu:? !!
"What!" The smile on Shen Tingyu's face froze, and he thought to himself, "System, don't mess with me, this is a critical moment!"
[Host, time is running out. While the Transformation Pill can still hold out for a while, find a chance to leave here.]
Because he didn't know the exact time when the transformation pill would expire, Shen Tingyu was afraid that he would turn into a voodoo doll in the next second.
Shen Tingyu looked calm on the surface, but in fact he was extremely panicked. His hands and feet were fixed in place. He was shocked, worried, helpless, and terrified... It was as if there were a thousand horses running around in his head, and he could no longer think.
Her nails dug into the flesh, leaving streaks of blood. The pain made her gradually calm down.
"As the Imperial Master, I have informed you of the calamity. You will deal with this impostor on your own. Predicting the mysteries of the heavens has consumed too much of my magical power. Farewell!"
After Shen Tingyu left a few light words, he turned around and left without a trace of lingering.
The ministers were shocked. She had turned the court upside down by herself, brought down a minister with just a few words, and then she left just like that!
In Xin Hongying's eyes, as deep as an ancient pool, there seemed to be inexplicable emotions surging.
His eyes were completely attracted by Shen Tingyu's departing figure, and he couldn't move away even half an inch.
Her black hair fluttered like the breeze on the snow-capped mountains, coming and leaving coolly. She disdained the power of the mortal world, as if nothing was worth her lingering on. She was not tainted by the cause and effect of the mortal world, as if she was a banished immortal.
The image of the immortal as tall and aloof was thus planted in Xin Hongying's mind.
His cold eyes were lowered, and the air pressure around him was frighteningly low. He stood up from the dragon throne.
He lowered his eyes to look at the soldier who had falsely reported the secret, and said in a cold tone, "Come here, take him away for strict interrogation. We must find out who is behind this."
The soldier knew that his identity was exposed, and no matter how much he said, no one would believe him.
The murderous intent hidden in his eyes was revealed. He drew the dagger from his sleeve and rushed towards Xin Hongying, shouting angrily: "Tyrant, die!"
"Protect His Majesty!"
Gao Tang moved slightly, holding the box in his hand, and stood in front of Xin Hongying with a smile.
He waved the whisk in his hand, and with the surging internal force, he knocked the soldier away. The soldier spun in a circle in the air and fell into the crowd of ministers in the hall.
The ministers dispersed, thinking in their hearts: Aren’t their lives important lives?
The soldier fell to the ground, spat out the scarlet blood from his throat, looked at the guards who were gradually approaching, and tightened his dagger.
"He has to stop him as soon as possible."
In the chaos, someone noticed that he wanted to commit suicide and shouted, but it was too late.
The soldier's body was dragged away, leaving a long trail of blood in the center of the hall.
"He died so quickly." Xin Hongying had a blank expression on his face, and the slightly raised corners of his lips revealed his impatience at the moment.
"Father, you are the person I trust the most. You must protect General Luo's life."
The Regent raised his eyes and responded.
"There's no more show to watch. It's so boring. Let's withdraw!"
Looking at the ministers kneeling on the ground in the court, Xin Hongying waved his hand and left.
He asked casually, "Where is the Imperial Master?"
A secret guard suddenly appeared, knelt on one knee, and said simply: "The Imperial Master is in the Star Observatory."
On the other side, Shen Tingyu left Zhenghe Hall. She could no longer maintain her immortal posture. She hurriedly fled back to the Stargazing Pavilion and returned to her room.
With a snap, he closed the door, leaving only a message saying, "I'm in seclusion, please don't disturb me."
The moment she closed the door, her body emitted a bright white light, and her hands quickly turned into the round little hands of a doll.
Shen Tingyu leaned against the wooden door as if he was losing strength, and patted his chest. Oh my god, that was close!
She almost got caught today. She had to perform a show where a living person turned into a puppet. It really tested her acting skills and determination!
She suddenly wanted to complete the task as soon as possible!
She is not an actor, and she won't be able to continue acting if she continues like this.
"Xiao Qi, I took such a big risk to stop it, but there's still no change in the mission progress?"
[Host, the plot correction rate is 10%, and you have earned 100 points! The total plot correction rate is 15%, and the progress of the wise ruler training task is still 0%]
[Host, don't be discouraged. You completed the plot correction mission very well. Think about the points you have now.]
Shen Tingyu slipped and fell limply along the pear wood door to the ground. Looking at the palm of her puppet, she suddenly realized that the blood marks from pinching her hand had disappeared.
She asked in surprise, "Xiao Qi, the blood marks on my fingernails are gone. Could it be that the damage to the body after transformation will not appear on the puppet's body?"
[Host, yes~]
[Unless the injury is severe or fatal, all damage will be ineffective. The host's safety is absolutely guaranteed~]
