As someone close to Lin Yan, Xie Muqing naturally knew more about the strange things that had happened to her than anyone else.
After Chunfeng mentioned the demoness, his expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly stretched out his right foot and kicked the person in front of him hard.
"You wicked monk, stop talking nonsense!"
Although Xie Muqing's strength was not as great as Lin Yan's innate superhuman strength, he had practiced martial arts for many years, so his strength was naturally much greater than that of the average person.
Spring Breeze suddenly collapsed to the ground with a "thump".
A tickling sensation deep in his throat made him cough violently several times, and blood trickled from the corner of his mouth.
He stared at the bloodstains on his palm for a moment, then wiped them away without a care.
After a while, Chunfeng slowly raised her head, looking at the furious young man in front of her with a mocking expression.
"Ahem... It seems that even Young Master Xie knows that the woman beside you is no ordinary person! Parents all over the world have their own concerns, and your mother has gone to great lengths for your future. But you have been completely bewitched by this vixen, and have even abandoned your family ties."
Just as Xie Muqing was about to retort, he felt a gentle pat on the back. He instinctively moved aside, allowing the person behind him to stand beside him.
For a moment, Lin Yan felt that Chunfeng must know she was from another world, which was why he was so wary of her.
But she thought about it.
But then they felt that this wasn't enough to make him react so strongly...
With this question lingering in her mind, Lin Yan narrowed her eyes and looked at the person lying at her feet like a dead dog.
"You don't need to say any of that. I just want to ask, why do you think I'm a witch? I've never killed anyone."
After saying that, Lin Yan quietly added in her mind:
Of course, this excludes animals that have been killed.
Spring Breeze did not answer her question. Instead, she turned her head to face the window and murmured to herself:
"The emperor has passed down three generations. A woman from another world in the northwest is destined to rule the world and exterminate all the descendants of the Xiao family!"
As soon as Chunfeng finished speaking.
Xie Muqing's eyes widened suddenly!
His inner shock was written all over his face, and his eyes revealed astonishment.
After a moment, Xie Muqing finally calmed down a bit and involuntarily looked at the person beside him.
When he saw Lin Yan's face suddenly turn pale, he panicked, reached out and put his arm around her waist, and asked softly:
"My wife, are you alright?"
Looking at the handsome face above her, full of concern, Lin Yan couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke it.
She remembered what Chunfeng said.
In the novel, the people of the Imperial Observatory calculated this prophecy, but of course, the protagonist of the prophecy was not her.
Instead, it was Xie Moran...
In fact, the prophecy was not wrong.
Xie Moran did indeed ascend the throne and almost wiped out the Xiao clan, but unfortunately, he encountered none other than Xiao Jue, who possessed the destiny of a future ruler.
Lin Yan suddenly realized that what Madam Xie said seemed to be true; she did seem to be quite unlucky for her son.
Because of her arrival, it seemed that all of Xie Muqing's paths to power had been blocked by her.
Even the prophecy representing his ascension to the throne turned into hers...
Just now, Lin Yan was a little scared because she thought about the fate of the protagonist in this prophecy.
Now that the protagonist of the prophecy has become herself, doesn't that mean she will become Xiao Jue's enemy in the future?
Lin Yan was self-aware.
She knew she couldn't beat the Mary Sue male lead, Xiao Jue. Was she going to repeat Xie Moran's mistakes in the book?
Self-immolation on a high platform...
Imagining the agony of being burned to death, Lin Yan couldn't help but shudder, goosebumps rising all over her body from fear.
No, she can't be burned to death!
fine……
She and Xiao Jue are getting along quite well now, with Shangguan Yun, with whom she has a good relationship, mediating between them.
As long as she doesn't stand against Xiao Jue, she should be fine.
The current emperor, Lin Yan, is not worried. The capital is quite far from the northwest, and he is currently preoccupied with his own affairs, so he can only send some assassins over.
Having figured everything out, Lin Yan removed her hands from Xie Muqing's face and said casually:
"I'm fine, don't worry."
At this moment, Chunfeng had already sat up, turned her back to them, and began to meditate silently, fiddled with the prayer beads in her hand.
If someone who didn't know him saw him like this, they would definitely think he was a devout high monk.
Lin Yan only felt it was ironic.
"You've already succumbed to the temptations of power and entered the world of desires, so why bother putting on this act?"
A mocking voice came from behind. Chunfeng clenched her fists, and the Buddhist prayer beads in her hands suddenly shattered from the force.
The smooth prayer beads bounced and darted around on the ground...
"I have a question for you, Master. Which prince do you think is suitable to be the crown prince? What about the Ninth Prince?"
If she hadn't recalled the plot of the book, she would never have made the connection between Chunfeng and the Ninth Prince.
When Lin Yan mentioned the Ninth Prince, Chunfeng could no longer maintain his composure. He turned his head sharply and stared at her fiercely.
"what you up to?!"
It's not just the spring breeze.
Even Xie Muqing couldn't help but look at Lin Yan, a hint of confusion appearing on his face.
The Ninth Prince was born to Consort Li and is only three years old. He is neither the eldest son nor the legitimate heir, and he is so young. How can he possibly become the Crown Prince?
Although he couldn't understand why Lin Yan had such thoughts, he wisely refrained from asking any questions and stood aside silently to protect her.
Lin Yan did not look at him.
Instead, she asked Chunfeng, who was glaring at her angrily, in a consultative tone.
"I'd like to make a deal with you, Master. If you agree to cooperate with me, I'll keep that secret for you. How about that?"
A moment later, the spring breeze snorted coldly and replied disdainfully:
Why should I believe you?
Lin Yan smiled faintly and retorted without any politeness:
"Master, do you think you have any other choice now? Don't even think about atoning for your sins with your death. After all, the Ninth Prince and Consort Li are still young! Besides, I have a loose tongue and can't control myself. In less than a month, the whole world will know that secret..."
Before Lin Yan could finish speaking, Chunfeng impatiently interrupted, her face pale with despair, and cried out:
"I agree!"
Seeing that her goal had been achieved, a relaxed smile finally appeared on Lin Yan's face. She turned to look at the person beside her and softly said:
"Husband, please go out and wait for me for a while."
Xie Muqing was so flattered by the word "husband" that she almost lost her bearings.
He stood there, stunned, until a light touch on his arm brought him back to his senses.
He was so excited he almost became incoherent.
"Alright! I'll go out and keep watch at the door. My wife, please be careful!"
This was, after all, the first time Lin Yan had called Xie Muqing "husband," and she was quite embarrassed, but fortunately she hid it well and didn't show it on her face.
After watching him leave, Lin Yan turned around and went to the stove to bring over two stools.
