Chapter 122 Master's Prophecy
The queen was frightened by Emperor Shengzong's cold gaze and wanted to look away guiltily.
But in the end, he still had to bite the bullet and look at Emperor Shengzong: "Your Majesty is wise."
Emperor Shengzong waved his hand impatiently and asked the queen to leave.
Before the queen was about to leave, she did not forget to say something that hurt Emperor Shengzong's heart.
"Your Majesty, don't worry about this. When I came here, I saw Sanbao holding hands and going to find Prince Yang."
"I think it's fate. Sanbao really likes Prince Yang. Maybe this is due to blood relationship."
"If Prince Yang is really Sanbao's father, then Sanbao will definitely be grateful to the Emperor."
"Besides, the Emperor and Sanbao are not related. If this is really Prince Yang's child, then you and Sanbao are real relatives now. When the time comes, they will have to call you Uncle Aunt."
"My great-uncle loves his grandson so much, how dare others say anything?"
This is not comfort at all, it's heartbreaking.
Everyone knows that Emperor Shengzong and the Anguo Mansion are not on good terms.
Emperor Shengzong actually laughed and said, "Since the Queen is so wise, I will go with Master and the others to chant sutras these days, rain or shine, and pray for the people."
The queen's face froze.
The monks chanted sutras, getting up before dawn, kneeling, beating wooden fish, and had to eat vegetarian food.
Moreover, it was midnight and they were still beating the wooden fish and chanting scriptures.
If all this is done, it would be unacceptable if there are less than three or four hours in a day.
I'm going to be exhausted to death.
But the queen dared not to answer: "Yes."
"Let the virtuous princess come with you. It would be better for the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law to have a companion."
The queen had no choice but to agree and leave.
Everyone knew that the Queen was going to chant scriptures, and she said it was to pray for the people, but everyone knew that it had angered the Emperor and she would be punished.
The Queen and the virtuous Princess became a joke.
The queen didn't want to become a laughing stock, looking at Liu, who was as weak as a delicate flower.
"I heard that the Crown Princess has also arrived in Yuncheng, and her whereabouts are unknown. Madam Hou, why don't you join us in chanting and praying for the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess, wishing them a speedy return."
What this means is that if Liu doesn't chant sutras and pray for blessings, she would not be a loving mother and would not care about her son-in-law, the prince.
Liu pinched the handkerchief and put it to her lips: "I want to, too, but... cough cough cough."
As she spoke, Liu started coughing violently.
She was coughing so much that everyone thought she was going to die and they were all worried about her.
Liu finally stopped, her white handkerchief already stained mostly red. "Your Majesty, please do not mind my frailty. I will follow you and kneel down to chant sutras, hoping that the Crown Prince will return safely and soon."
After saying that, he coughed again.
That delicate body was still staggering, and she was so weak that she was about to faint.
The Queen waved her hand and said, "Madam Hou is not feeling well. You should rest in peace."
Don't be so fragile. Don't kneel down, or you will lose your life.
By then, she had earned a reputation as being demanding.
Liu looked up, her face sincere: "Your Majesty, please do not worry about your body. For the Crown Prince and the people, even if I die on my knees... ahem."
Queen: "That's really not necessary."
Liu: "It's okay, I can do it."
Another bout of coughing.
After a while of tugging, the queen almost said, "Please, don't recite the scriptures anymore, just tell me."
The Queen was angry and shouted, "If I say it's not necessary, then it's not necessary."
Liu's eyes immediately turned red: "I knew it. The Empress despised my frail body. I know I was wrong. I will not go to recite the sutras."
After she finished speaking, Liu coughed twice, then her eyes rolled back and she fainted in the arms of the maid.
The Queen received many questioning looks and felt very depressed: ...
Soon, the news that the queen had forced a concubine to faint spread.
The queen was so vicious that she made a weak woman who could faint at any time kneel down and recite scriptures.
Early in the morning, the queen suffered a great loss.
It's really a thankless job.
Emperor Shengzong was having a headache. He asked Li Zongguan: "Where are Dabao and the others?"
Steward Li answered carefully, "I went to play with Prince Yang. I got up early and went there after dinner."
Emperor Shengzong: ...
Three little ungrateful bastards, why didn’t they come to see their grandpa the Emperor so early in the morning?
Emperor Shengzong was angry: "I understand. If they come to see me in the next few days, just say that I am busy and don't have time to see them."
Steward Li did not respond immediately, but asked, "Is the emperor really missing?"
Emperor Shengzong's voice sank: "I am very busy. I can't meet anyone just because they ask me to."
This is what Manager Li should do.
Emperor Shengzong: "Please investigate this matter thoroughly. I don't believe it. How can someone like the Duke of Anguo have such good genes? He doesn't deserve it!"
Manager Li: ...
Emperor Shengzong: "It's too much of a coincidence to be a coincidence. Investigate it thoroughly. Don't let the prince come back without his child and his wife."
Manager Li: ...
In fact, what he wanted to say was that whether they were biological children or not could be known through blood test, and there was no need for such a troublesome investigation.
Your Majesty, you are still afraid after all.
Alas, why is Sanbao not the emperor’s grandson?
What a pity.
Sanbao went to find Yang Jiawang early in the morning. He was very sweet-talking and called him "uncle" all the time.
Yang Jiawang was so coaxed that he felt dizzy.
I sincerely think that being the cheap father of these three children is not a bad thing.
Bai Taotao is beautiful and the Bai family is a new family. It would be even better if I could marry her.
Unfortunately, it's impossible.
After all, she is the Crown Princess.
What a pity.
Xiaobao: ...
After playing for a whole morning, Xiaobao found out that Yang Jiawang wanted to be their adoptive father and was definitely not their biological son.
He even dreamed of marrying their mother.
In short, they were sure that Yang Jiawang was not his biological father.
This is good progress.
After getting almost all the information from Yang Jiawang, Sanbao went to find Emperor Shengzong.
Emperor Shengzong, who had originally said he would not see Sanbao, came out on his own when he heard Sanbao's soft cry, without even needing to be notified by General Manager Li.
Manager Li looked at him with a bit of contempt.
In the morning, he acted as if he would never show up, but at noon he slapped himself in the face?
Emperor Shengzong coughed and said, "The imperial physician said that sitting for a long time is not good for you. I'm going out for a walk."
Sanbao surrounded him and hugged Emperor Shengzong: "Grandpa Emperor."
Emperor Shengzong had a stern face, but in an instant he burst into laughter, no longer looking serious at all.
Manager Li: ...
Because of the fact that Yang Jiawang looked similar to Erbao, Emperor Ruizong, who originally wanted to stay in Guozheng Temple for only seven days, stayed for a few more days.
Otherwise, as soon as he returned to the imperial city, all the civil and military officials would immediately submit a memorial asking him to depose the Crown Princess and perform a blood test to prove his kinship.
Emperor Shengzong’s idea was to delay the matter until the prince returned.
But what we found all matched.
Only on this day did we finish chanting sutras and praying for blessings.
Emperor Shengzong was discussing Buddhist scriptures with Master Yuanhong, with several ministers and the virtuous king standing beside him.
Master Yuan Hong's face was filled with kindness, as if he were out of this world. "Your Majesty, don't worry. I observed the stars last night and saw the Purple Star descend from the sky."
"This is a great blessing for the world. It is a downpour from heaven, but it is also a dragon son sent from heaven."
"A true dragon has descended, and a military general has been reincarnated. He is both civil and military, and can ensure a century of prosperity and peace for our country, and expand the holy land."
When Lu Linyuan heard Master Yuan Hong, he looked up at him in confusion.
Is the Queen Mother so powerful?
He even bribed the well-known Master Yuan Hong to speak so nicely for the princess' unborn baby?
However, Master Yuan Hong never says these things, and he is not someone who can be easily bribed.
The Queen Mother told him that these words were said by the person who bribed the signing.
Lu Linyuan was really confused, but he soon understood.
He is a true dragon sent from heaven, and God is speaking for him.
Master Yuan Hong must have seen that he had the appearance of an emperor.
Thinking of this, Lu Linyuan was in a good mood and complimented: "Congratulations, father. During your lifetime, the world is at peace. You will be an emperor of all ages."
Emperor Shengzong was naturally happy to hear what Master Yuanhong said, but he was also worried when he thought of Crown Prince Lu Jiuyuan who was still in Yuncheng, suffering from the epidemic.
Now, we still don’t know how he is doing and no news has been released.
The worried Emperor Shengzong glanced at Lu Linyuan coldly: "The Crown Prince is still in Jiangnan, busy caring for the people affected by the disaster. The epidemic has not yet been eradicated. Why would you congratulate him?"
His voice suddenly turned icy cold: "Lu Linyuan, you are so anxious and happy, don't you think you are the Purple Star, the chosen one for the emperor?"
This blunt questioning made Lu Linyuan pale, and he quickly knelt down: "Your Majesty, I dare not, please calm down."
The other officials were about to say congratulations, but when they heard this, they were so scared that they knelt on the ground.
Except for Master Yuanhong, who was still wearing his robes and standing there proudly.
Master Yuan Hong clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddhist sutra, and then said, "Your Majesty, do not worry. The epidemic in Jiangnan has been alleviated with the help of noble people, and the disease will soon be cured."
"This is a true dragon descending from the sky, a disaster that the world must endure."
Emperor Shengzong nodded and asked, "Is the Crown Prince okay?"
Master Yuanhong didn't say much, but just recited the Buddhist teachings again.
Emperor Shengzong frowned, but he couldn't get angry at Master Yuanhong, so he could only glare at Lu Linyuan again.
Emperor Shengzong was still worried about Lu Jiuyuan and had no time to think about what Master Yuanhong had said.
Manager Li came in with a happy look on his face.
He even forgot to salute, and his voice was a little louder: "Your Majesty, the epidemic in Yuncheng has eased, and the prince will be back soon."
Master Yuan Hong had just finished speaking when good news came.
Emperor Shengzong was immediately delighted: "Very good, this is a happy event, it is worth it that the Crown Prince stayed in Yuncheng for so long."
One minister said, "This is all thanks to Divine Doctor Tao. If Divine Doctor Tao hadn't gone to Yuncheng, I'm afraid the situation would have been disastrous."
The joy on Emperor Shengzong's face suddenly dimmed.
Someone else said, "I heard that the virtuous king has a good relationship with Divine Doctor Tao. Before Divine Doctor Tao left the city, he even met with the virtuous king. Did the virtuous king send Divine Doctor Tao to Yuncheng for emergency treatment?"
Lu Linyuan quickly said, "I am a good friend of Divine Doctor Tao, and I just mentioned the matter of Yuncheng casually. I didn't expect Divine Doctor Tao to leave the city that night."
Emperor Shengzong's face was as gloomy as the sea. Was he trying to steal the credit from the crown prince?
Emperor Shengzong hadn't finished speaking yet.
The Queen's personal maid came over hurriedly, bowed, and then said, "My Lord, please come over. The Princess has fainted."
