Chapter 672: No Unjust Souls in Her Hands
Lu Chaochao jumped up suddenly.
Beiming clan! ! Spirit water tribe? Aaaaaah, I have an impression! !
When the Dragon Clan made a mistake and she was settling accounts with them, she also checked the Lingshui Clan that depended on the Dragon Clan.
The Lingshui people are born with water spirits, so their chances of praying for rain are greater and more successful than others.
If you are truly dedicated to serving the people, it would be fine to gain some merit and worship.
However, the Lingshui tribe colluded with the dragon tribe to deliberately change the time of rain, deceive the people, and deliberately deceive them for incense and benefits. They deserve to be put to death.
There is a set of rules for making clouds and rain. Mortals rely on heaven for their livelihood, so there can be no mistakes in making clouds and rain.
When it will rain can be determined accurately to the exact hour.
In order to gain more benefits, the Lingshui tribe teamed up with the dragon tribe to secretly withhold rainfall and extend the interval between rains. As a result, the mortal world could not get any rain, and the people's grain production decreased, so the Lingshui tribe took the opportunity to pray for rain.
For example, this year people will slaughter pigs and sheep for the Dragon King Temple, offer gold and silver, and send young boys and girls into the water.
Or maybe, we should build three more temples for the dragon clan this year.
After being discovered by Lu Chaochao, he beat up the Lingshui Clan while cleaning out the Dragon Clan.
Drive it out of the water and banish it to the North Sea in the mortal world.
Moreover, the Lingshui tribe will be stripped of their names and will no longer be allowed to cheat!
Even when people asked about it, Lu Chaochao casually said, "They? They moved, and are now called the Beiming Clan."
Simply name them the Beiming clan.
Since then, he has been living in the extremely harsh northern part of the mortal world, and dared not go out even a step.
Lu Chaochao looked left and right guiltily. It was indeed right to drive them to Beiming and call them the Beiming tribe!
I did it myself!
"Now that we heard that there is a severe drought in the mortal world, our tribe dared to come out to pray for rain. Alas..." The tribe leader sighed deeply and really wanted to go back to the spirit world.
"I only hope I can accumulate more merits and return to the spirit world."
“That’s our home.”
"I'm not afraid of your majesty laughing at me. The older generation who made mistakes back then really hated Lu Chaochao. Even before they died, they were cursing Chaoyang Sword Master."
"But our generation was born in the mortal world, and we learned to work from sunrise to sunset like mortals, so we understand mortals better." Especially since Lu Chaochao had assigned them to the north, where the climate was extremely bad, and they relied entirely on the weather to survive.
Even the younger generation no longer believes in the existence of the spiritual world, let alone that their ancestors came from the spiritual world. I have completely become a mortal...
This is even more sad.
Although the old patriarch scolded Lu Chaochao a few times, he did not hate her in his heart.
In order to obtain incense offerings for their own selfish desires, the Lingshui tribe deliberately changed the amount of rainfall and reduced precipitation, causing countless people to become homeless.
This is all deserved punishment.
He used to call himself a monk, looking down on mortals.
Now, I can empathize even more.
The old clan leader and the clan members behind him stood up and bowed to the palace gate: "If the Beiming clan wants to return to the spirit world, they must do more good deeds and accumulate merits."
"Now is the best time to pray for rain for the world."
Lu Chaochao nodded secretly. The new generation of Beiming people had very good personalities.
Outside the door, palace servants came in with tea and snacks.
"The princess is thinking of Your Majesty and specially sent you some black fruit...it's very fresh and tender." The eunuch smiled and handed the small plate to King Dong Ling.
He knew what the emperor liked to hear, and these words naturally made Xuan Jichuan smile.
Inside the meeting hall, the ministers were also on one side.
The fruit that Lu Chaochao sent was just enough for each of the ministers and the Beiming clan, with a small plate.
The drought has been severe these days and fresh fruits and vegetables are scarce.
What's more, the black fruit is difficult to preserve and transport on a normal day, and is very precious in Dongling.
Everyone was feeling very comfortable as they finalized the details of praying for rain and tasted the fruits sent by the princess.
The Beiming clan had water spiritual roots, and when they left the spiritual world they took away some spiritual seeds. Although it cannot produce the same spiritual fruits, it still has some spiritual energy.
Therefore, I don’t have much interest in worldly fruits and vegetables.
Seeing that the emperor was happy, she gave him face and picked one up and put it in her mouth.
A light bite of the teeth caused juice to splash everywhere.
A surge of spiritual energy suddenly swept over me, and all the fatigue and uneasiness in my body disappeared instantly.
The rich fruity aroma dominates the mouth, and the sweet taste makes everyone's eyes light up.
“This… this is actually a spiritual fruit!!”
"Moreover, it is a spiritual fruit that is rich in spiritual energy. It needs spiritual springs to irrigate and nourish with spiritual energy. It is a top-grade spiritual fruit. Even in the spiritual world, it is extremely precious!"
“You actually use it to entertain guests!” The old patriarch’s contemptuous look suddenly turned solemn.
Although the old patriarch sympathizes with mortals, he is a person from the spiritual world after all, and he has a bit of pride towards mortals in his heart.
This pride will never be erased from generation to generation.
But now...
It was actually a bit embarrassing.
Among the gifts they brought to King Dong Ling were spiritual fruits grown by their tribesmen. What is that trace of spiritual energy compared to the black fruit?
He even looked ashamed.
"As long as the clan leader likes it..." Xuan Jichuan said indifferently.
This made the old patriarch even more cautious and not dare to show any contempt.
Everyone was discussing matters while eating black fruits. Lu Chaochao couldn't sit still and simply left the hall.
Xuan Jichuan glanced at the eunuch, and the eunuch followed behind her, fearing that he might bump into her without any eyesight.
Lu Chaochao had not walked far when she encountered the empress dowager's procession.
"Empress Dowager?" Lu Chaochao didn't know much about Xuan Jichuan and was just about to step forward to greet the Empress Dowager.
The chief eunuch whispered, "Princess, the Queen Mother is your Majesty's legal mother. Your Majesty's biological mother..."
"Dead."
Xuan Jichuan's mother came from a humble family, but she was very beautiful. She and her sister, who were born to the same mother, became the twin flowers of Dongling.
Among them, Xuan Jichuan's mother was the most beautiful, and was even known as the most beautiful woman in Dongling.
Lord Lin, who was originally frustrated, made no progress in his life.
But because he had two daughters, he was promoted to a higher position.
The eldest daughter gave it to the old emperor of the Southern Kingdom as a gift. She also gave birth to the third prince, who competed with Lu Chaochao for the throne.
The most beautiful youngest daughter entered the palace as a concubine.
The old King Dong Ling doted on her for a while, and she gave birth to Xuanyin and Xuan Jichuan one after another.
She had a cold personality and didn't like flattery. However, because of her stunning beauty, she was considered a mortal enemy by the other concubines in the palace.
A few years after giving birth to a child, she fell out of favor.
The old emperor was getting older, and the princes had grown up. Just as Dongling was defeated, Xuanyin was sent to Beizhao to marry.
Xuan Jichuan traveled as a proton.
Concubine Lin had no one to turn to for help in the palace, and was bedridden for a long time, and eventually died in the palace.
The current empress dowager is her biological mother, Empress Chen.
"Where is the emperor?" The empress dowager was dressed luxuriously, with a pretty little girl following behind her.
The little girl looked at the palace door shyly, her eyes full of anticipation.
The eunuch, who had no airs in front of Lu Chaochao, said respectfully and distantly, "There is a severe drought in the country, and your majesty is discussing important matters with the court officials. Does the Empress Dowager have any important matters?"
Although he was humble in front of Lu Chaochao, he always stood tall in front of court officials and the empress dowager.
