Chapter 103
Chapter 103 A Maid in an Imperial Palace
Zui Linglong was a little dissatisfied when she heard that provocative statement. Her eyes widened and her face flushed bright red. With her white suit, she looked like an apple which was stuck on a piece of white paper.
But Zui Linglong was really worried about this divination task. Because she could divine well, it was very normal to have her do this divination.
In this formal sort of occasion, Zui Linglong also had to give others some form of respect. After all, she did not want to have a bad time in the future, and she was not willing to offend the other side, who was the Prince.
But being instructed so ruthlessly was not Zui Linglong’s style! She thought about what to do next to make herself appear less humble. At least, it would be better to let another person be the scapegoat.
“Imperial concubine Wu was a bit excessive when she made that remark. This person shouldn’t be that kind of person who wanted to watch the fun!” While Zui Linglong prepared for the divination, she was also wondering how to deal with this type of provocation.
Suddenly, Zui Linglong rolled her eyes, “Heihei, anyway, it’s just a ritual. So, I’ll use it to frame imperial concubine Wu!”
Suddenly, when this idea came to her, Zui Linglong could not help but smile widely!
Zui Linglong walked slowly onto the sacrifice platform for divination and looked out at the people around. Because it was already late in the afternoon, the sunlight was a bit dazzling and the temperature was quite suitable.
At the side, imperial concubine Wu stared at Zui Linglong coldly as she saw her walking slowly up to the sacrifice platform. Imperial concubine Wu’s fierce eyes stared at the slow-moving person, thinking, “Huh, I don’t like you , but I am not provoking you. Why don’t you dare to hit back at me now?”
Although she had this thought in her heart, she still had to pretend to be happy, and smiled at all the guests present.
“Zui Linglong, since everything in place, please start the divination now. We are eager to witness your magical ability! If there should be anything else, I hope we can help!”
Imperial concubine Wu had that kind of look that said that it was not too much trouble to watch someone being embarassed. Seeing her expression, people really want to jump down and give her two slaps.
But she was in a high position, and this was in public. After all, these kinds of actions were not the type that was suitable to be expressed in a positive manner.
On her part, Zui Linglong responded to imperial concubine Wu by staring back with a cold look in her eyes. But the feeling that Zui Linglong gave her was not the same as what imperial concubine Wu felt.
Feelings of strong anger and provocation could be seen in imperial concubine Wu’s eyes. But Zui Linglong’s eyes not show any emotion at all. It was just like someone looking at an object or a garbage bag.
This look caught imperial concubine Wu’s attention. Knowing she had noticed her look, Zui Linglong immediately changed her thoughts. She turned her attention into a whole hearted sacredness and solemnity before the divination.
Standing at the side, imperial concubine Wu stared at Zui Linglong at the altar. If looks could kill, maybe the person in white on the altar would already have been smashed to bits!
But unfortunately, imperial concubine Wu’s eyes couldn’t kill. And since Zui Linglong had already stared at imperial concubine Wu, she would never look at her again. This made her really depressed.
Zui Linglong squatted on the altar and was deep in thought.
“Imperial concubine Wu, I will tell you today that my world can exist without you. But you hate me so much that it is impossible to say that your world cannot be without me!”
Thinking about this, Zui Linglong couldn’t help but smile a little. She didn’t contain her facial expression and almost laughed out loud!
Fortunately, Zui Linglong subconsciously reached out and covered her mouth. But this made others suspect that she just kept her hand over mouth in order to cover her smile. And it would be terrible if they thought she was being foolish.
Zui Linglong’s brain was running at high speed at this moment, and then she thought of a brilliant idea.
Originally, she intended to say it after she stood still. But time had already passed and now it was the best time to say that. Zui Linglong then pretended to look as if she just remembered something important.
She said loudly,
“Ah! I almost forgot, this divination also has a certain ritual!”
“A ritual? Then hurry and tell us what it is. And let us take a look at this magical divination after that!” Before imperial concubine Wu could say anything, someone else who was impatient about the outcome of the divination, and said this loudly.
Standing on the altar, Zui Linglong did not disappoint them. Without a pause, she continued as soon as the passer-by stopped talking.
“This so-called divination is actually not any miracle work. After all, its limitations are particularly strong. For example, now, if we want to invite any god, it is necessary to pass the power of extreme yang-qi of Nanmen Prince, Nanmen Yi, and the extreme yin-qi of the first lady Yue Ji.”
“After all, the door to the realm of God is not so easy to open!”
Nanmen Yi by the side had already heard that it really didn’t need his power of extreme yang-qi. So he started to show an interest in it and intended to go deep into it to experience the wonder of this divination.
After all, he used to watch others’ divination like a practising gevurah, but he didn’t actually implement it. But now he had a chance to implement it himself. And he really wanted to experience it for himself.
Nanmen Yi had noticed Tang Xia standing by the side. Subconsciously, he felt that this girl seemed to know some mystery of divination. Thinking about it, he walked out and stood in front of Tang Xia.
“Hello, lady can you help me?” Nanmen Yi said politely, which made Tang Xia blush!
Originally, Tang Xia was there only for fun, but she did not expect to be accosted suddenly, and he was such a super handsome guy!
“Dear child, no need to be so courteous. What can I do for you?”
Seeing Nanmen Yi’s twinkling eyes and deep pupils, Tang Xia couldn’t help but blush. She didn’t know if it was her subconscious heartbeat, and thought, “Wow, this handsome child. I have no idea why he is here?”
But it was just a thought and she still had to reply to him quickly!
Nanmen Yi had made a request to Tang Xia, but he did not expect Tang Xia to agree immediately.
“Okay, let me help you. I can definitely do it for you!” The reason why Tang Xia agreed so quickly was because she was too embarrassed to refuse this handsome guy’s request.
Tang Xia agreed, and she secretly thought, “Wow, if I can really help him this time, will he start being familiar with me?” “Ah, it’s wonderful to think about it! ”
But that was just a thought in Tang Xia’s heart. If she really wanted something from Nanmen Yi, the biggest obstacle would be herself.
Zui Linglong, who was standing by the side, was staring and seemed to be scanning the surrounding environment. Seeing that Tang Xia had agreed to help Nanmen Yi, she continued,
“I just communicated to the gods with my divine power. He told me that two men have to be confined for three days within the Buddhist temple in the imperial palace.
“In order to show sincerity, only the people who believe in and admire the gods can truly be sensed by the gods. And the gods will give them the ability to communicate with them!”
Hearing this, passers-by couldn’t help but complain. After all, they thought that they could see the magical divination later.
But now it had to be delayed for three days, so they felt a little uncomfortable. However, although there was a chorus of complaints, Zui Linglong was not bothered by it at all.
Instead, she walked down the altar slowly and said to them, “If the person is one who does not truly believe in the gods, you will not see the gods even if they appear.”
Her tone was absolutely solemn. It seemed that Zui Linglong was now the messenger of the gods, and she was giving this gift to all the common people from the perspective of the gods.
But in fact, these words were concocted by Zui Linglong.
However, since she said so, she must have her own purpose. On the one side, a majestic presence would give them an irrefutable momentum. On the other side, it could calm down those who wanted to take this opportunity to have fun among these passers-by.
After all, for the special illusory definition of the gods, if she didn’t tell, who would know that these words were just used to borrow power to do evil!
Although the real Zui Linglong could divinate, it was impossible to communicate with the gods. Furthermore, when did anyone in the world ever see the gods?
Nanmen Yi, who wanted to go deep into it and explore the mystery of divination, had no complaints. Instead, he decided in private.
But he didn’t expect that people had so many ears! Chu Tiankuo, the emperor, knew about this.
This day was the second day when they entered the Buddhist temple to show their sincerity. Maybe today, the gods were in a better mood.
So they gave sunshine that heated the ground and made it slightly warm. But this temperature was very suitable for people and their livelihood.
The only thing that didn’t quite match Zui Linglong’s feeling now was the person in front of her.
“Excuse me, what happened to you, dear emperor?” She asked the emperor after the necessary rituals.
But she didn’t think that Chu Tiankuo would speak to her so coldly,
“Today is a private visit, so you can treat me like any ordinary person. And I am only here to warn you that you’d better not let me discover what tricks you are playing, otherwise you will be embarrassed.”
After Chu Tiankuo had finished speaking, he turned back to leave. Before he walked to the door, he said to Zui Linglong in a cold voice, “You’d better know what you are doing!”
