"Then please ask your highness to help my daughter. Take out one of the Imperial Preceptor's talismans.”Si Muran gave Pei Chenshuo a look. He had chosen to protect her before, and now he would not leave her alone.
Pei Chenshuo did not know what Si Muran was up to, but he did hope that she could get out of this predicament.
No matter how arrogant the state preceptor was, he had to give Pei Chenshuo some face. Besides, he was certain that Si Muran could not save herself, so he did not mind giving a few talismans.
Si Muran took the talisman from Pei Chenshuo's hands and looked at it in the light. She sniffed it and it was just as she had imagined. The Encyclopedia in her mind had helped her a lot.
Hence, Si Muran confidently said to the state preceptor," State preceptor, if I'm really a demon, your talisman should show that I'm a vixen no matter what, right?”
The state preceptor did not know what Si Muran wanted to do. He only felt that a person who was about to die should not have such a reaction.
"Since that's the case, then please use your brush and water to write or draw something on this talisman paper.”Ironically, in the entire side hall, the only person she could trust was Pei Chenshuo.
Pei Chenshuo cooperated and wrote a few words on the talisman paper. This time, Si Muran had willingly dripped her blood on it and placed it on the candle flame. The same method had resulted in a different result. It was no longer the fox that appeared on the talisman, but the words that Pei Chenshuo had just written.
When Si Muran saw the handwriting, she heaved a sigh of relief. Her previous 50% confidence had turned into 100%. She then said,"State Preceptor, it should be your turn now. Is there anything you need to explain?"”
Although the Emperor had also turned his gaze to the Imperial Advisor, Si Muran had cleared her suspicion so quickly that the Emperor had to think highly of her.
The state preceptor had accidentally obtained such a method, but he did not expect Si Muran to crack it so easily. For a moment, he did not know what to say.
Si Muran took advantage of the situation and continued," Your Majesty, the state preceptor is only using a trick that can be seen everywhere in the martial world. I've seen someone perform a trick like this before to expose the state preceptor's trick. It can be seen that the state preceptor doesn't have any real talent and is just lying."”
The Imperial Tutor's face turned red with anger as he loudly defended himself," Your Majesty, don't listen to this witch's words to confuse the public. This lowly official is definitely not a liar. This lowly official is loyal to Your Majesty."”
Si Muran did not want to give the state preceptor any chance to turn the tables, so she said," Your Majesty, there is no such thing as a demonic dragon. The state preceptor wants the lives of those 99 virgins just to practice an evil technique. I once read about this technique in a book. If he succeeds in practicing it, it will definitely cause unimaginable losses to the Celestial Pole. Your Majesty, please consider it carefully."”
Si Muran said sincerely. Although she did not know if there was such an evil technique, if the state preceptor continued to live in the world, not only would it be a threat to her, but it would also be a harmful thing for all the people in the world.
The Emperor fell into deep thought because of Si Muran's words. He looked at Si Muran and then at the state preceptor." What other methods do you have to prove that you're right?”
The Imperial Tutor spoke first," Your Majesty, I can make this demoness reveal her true form on the spot.”
Si Muran was even more surprised now. She wanted to see what tricks the wretched huckster had up his sleeves. She could use all of them to give her a greater sense of accomplishment when she defeated him.
The state preceptor had learned his lesson from his previous failure and was even more cautious this time. It was fine as long as he could turn Si Muran into a vixen in everyone's eyes.
However, such a trick was even worse than the previous one. As long as one had a strong will, they would not be fooled. Therefore, Pei Chenshuo had always seen Si Muran. The Emperor had indeed seen the outline of the fox for a moment. Unfortunately, Si Muran had done something to it, but nothing had changed.
The national master couldn't believe that he had failed. In the past, this kind of illusion was always successful. If it weren't for this, he wouldn't have been able to get the position of national master of the Celestial Pole Kingdom. But now, wouldn't everything he had done before be exposed?
Ordinary people would be very angry if they were deceived, let alone the emperor of a country. Wouldn't deceiving him be challenging his authority as the emperor?
"Bold Imperial Tutor, how long do you plan to fool this one?”The Emperor seemed to be really angry this time.
The Imperial Advisor knelt on the ground with a thud and said," Your Majesty, I have never lied to you. Please believe in my loyalty."”
At this point, it was already too late for Si Muran not to interfere. She might as well let the Emperor's anger burn even more fiercely. She also knelt on the ground and pinched her thigh fiercely. Tears instantly welled up in her eyes as she said pitifully," Your Majesty, I don't know how I offended the state preceptor to make him hate me so much that he even framed me as a demon and wanted to kill me. Your Majesty, please help me."”
Wasn't it just a competition of acting? Si Muran was very confident that she would not lose to the state preceptor in this aspect. Moreover, the state preceptor had been in a high position all these years and had almost every day been in contact with the emperor. The emperor would not be able to tolerate his deception for so long, right?
Pei Chenshuo stood at the side and watched coldly. Si Muran's counterattack had surprised him. It seemed that he had underestimated this woman. Without his help, she was able to turn defeat into victory and even drag the state preceptor down with her. The situation that even he did not know how to solve did not seem to be a problem in her eyes. Also, that thing called the lightning rod should be the same as those horse-riding tools. They were all her whimsical ideas, which made things even stranger and more troublesome.
"Emperor, I also heard that Imperial Preceptor has plundered a lot of the people's wealth these years. A lot of it was the people's hard-earned money, but in the end, it was all pocketed by him.”
Si Muran was just adding fuel to the fire. Before she came to the palace, she had never interacted with the wretched huckster, nor had she ever heard of the Imperial Advisor of the Celestial Pole. However, logically speaking, some people would become more greedy as they advanced. Judging from their physiognomy, the wretched huckster should be such a person.
As expected, when the Emperor heard the news, his face darkened completely. He ordered people to quickly go to the Imperial Advisor's mansion to investigate. Si Muran was right. There were a lot of gold and silver treasures hidden in the Imperial Advisor's mansion, and they could at least pile up into a small mountain. However, based on his salary, even if he was immortal, he might not be able to save so much money, so it was obvious where he came from.
The Emperor looked at the Imperial Advisor in disappointment, his tone filled with disgust for him." To think that I have always placed you in such an important position, yet you are using such a method to repay me. I am really disappointed in you. Men, drag him out and behead him!"”
"Emperor, there's definitely someone framing this lowly official. This lowly official has never done those things. Those gold, silver, and jewelry are not this lowly official's at all.”With the imminent disaster, the Imperial Advisor also displayed the panic and fear that a mortal should have. However, everything was already set in stone. No matter how much he struggled, he would only be dragged out and beheaded.
Si Muran watched as the wretched huckster was dragged out. His eyes were filled with hatred for her. When he was dragged out of the side hall, she could still vaguely hear him say," I curse you, Si Muran, to die a horrible death!"”
Si Muran couldn't describe what she was feeling right now. She seemed to be in a dilemma. Perhaps she had saved 99 lives, but she had still harmed one person.
The Emperor wanted to squeeze out a loving smile on his face, but he failed. He could only slowly say," Miss Si, it's been hard on you.”
"Thank you, Emperor, for standing up for me."
"But Zhen hopes that no one else will know what you saw and heard in the palace today.”If it was a concern before, this sentence could only be understood as a warning.
"This commoner will not leak a word to the outside world. Please rest assured, emperor.”
The Emperor's voice revealed a hint of fatigue as he waved his hand." You may all leave."”
Si Muran felt that the air had become fresher after she left the side hall.
Within a few hours, she had experienced the transformation from life to death, and then from death to life. The ups and downs of life were nothing like this. While sighing, it made people have to be more careful and even take every step carefully.
That was why Si Muran wanted to leave this godforsaken place as soon as possible. However, the voice of the old eunuch with the croaky voice suddenly came from behind her." Your Highness, Miss Si, please wait."”
Pei Chenshuo and Si Muran turned around. She tried her best to look better, but she could not hide the fatigue between her brows.
The old eunuch looked at Si Muran and said slowly," Miss Si, the Emperor has rewarded you with 100 taels of gold, 10,000 taels of silver, and 100 bolts of silk. They will be sent to the Minister's residence later.”
Si Muran's eyes lit up when she heard that he had money. She replied happily," Please thank the Emperor on my behalf."”
The old eunuch ignored her and turned to Pei Chenshuo." Your Highness, can we talk further?"”
Si Muran's mind was now filled with countless gold and silver treasures. She did not take the old eunuch's unfriendly attitude seriously at all. With this money, she could go anywhere she wanted.
When Pei Chenshuo came back, he saw Si Muran's silly face, lost in her fantasy. He mercilessly slapped Si Muran's head, interrupting her yearning for a better life.
"What are you doing?" Si Muran looked at Pei Chenshuo unhappily." I'm such a smart person. What are you going to give me if you break my brain?"”
Pei Chenshuo did not want to hurt Si Muran, but it was better for everyone to see the current situation as soon as possible. That was why he continued," Your little cleverness is nothing in front of a really smart person. Don't think that you're so great just because you got rid of the state preceptor. Have you ever thought about how much trouble this will bring?"”# Cancel all reviews: wdd201302 Time:111420185: 55PM #
