Riding the Pheonix Chapter 484: Vulnerability

"Yes, yes!" Yang Shu finally got the chance to speak, "If someone splashed dirty water on you, of course you have to clear up your grievances. Your Majesty!"

The emperor said calmly: "Since Miss Wen San has no evidence, it has already explained your grievances, so there is no need to make a fuss. Imperial Master!"

"Your Majesty!" before changing the subject, Mingwei yelled out first, with a bit of stubbornness in his eyes, "My little girl knows that she has a low status, and if she climbs up to the royal family, she will bear more scrutiny than others. If she doesn't care, , not only the little girl is wronged, His Royal Highness the King of Yue, and even the royal family will become the target of gossip among others. Your Majesty!"

A good woman should be considerate and accept things when she sees them. Mingwei's behavior at this time may not be unforgiving in the eyes of the emperor.

Such behavior is generally considered to be ignorant.

You can’t expect her to be a virtuous woman if she chases a man when she’s not married.

The emperor was a little bored, but also a little secretly happy. He frowned and said, "What do you want to do?"

Others had already heard the emperor's impatience. Among the few ladies, some kind-hearted girls quietly pushed Ming Wei and signaled her not to go against the emperor.

Unexpectedly, Mingwei didn't appreciate it at all, so she opened her mouth and said: "My little girl won the first lottery first, and then the phoenix lottery, relying on her own luck. I really don't want to let someone splash dirty water on me for nothing. Please also ask The Holy Spirit has conducted a thorough investigation and found out that there is absolutely no fraud in the fact that my little girl is standing here today!"

The emperor narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Oh? A thorough investigation? Starting from the first round of drawing lots?"

"Yes." Mingwei said decisively, "Starting from the first round of drawing lots."

The emperor originally suspected that she had done something wrong in the first round, but now he hesitated when he saw her tough attitude.

We just drew the phoenix lot, but that fool Wen San delivered the phoenix lot to her. But if she didn't do anything in the first round, where would she get her luck? The Imperial Master had clearly said that her fate was one of unlucky fate.

Just as the emperor was thinking about it, Xuanfei turned over the ID card he had checked when he entered the palace. With a look of shock on his face, he stepped forward to lift up his clothes and knelt down.

"National Preceptor?" The emperor was confused by him.

The Imperial Master is not an ordinary person. He only performs Taoist rituals when facing the Holy Spirit. What's more, the etiquette of this dynasty is not strict, and kneeling is only done for important events. On weekdays, ministers do not kneel before the saints.

Xuanfei suddenly saluted. Is this a big deal?

"The poor Taoist received the Holy Grace, took charge of the Xuandu Temple, and worshiped him as the national teacher. Unexpectedly, he failed to handle even this small matter, please be punished by the Holy One."

The emperor looked through the screen at the tray in the hands of the Taoist priest and asked slowly: "What's the problem?"

Xuanfei signaled, and the Taoist priest who guarded the temple handed the tray in his hand to the chamberlain, who delivered it to the emperor.

The emperor saw that there were more than a dozen lots on it, which were the top lots that the ladies had drawn previously.

"Your Majesty, please look at the end of these thirteen first lots."

The emperor lowered his gaze and paused.

"All the lottery tubes in the temple are the same. Pindao had put cinnabar on the bottom of each first lottery just in case, just in case. However, one of them did not have cinnabar."

Wan Dabao turned over the thirteen first lots one by one. Sure enough, twelve had cinnabar and one did not.

Xuan Fei's voice came with a hint of coldness: "In the Xuandu Temple, in front of the Holy Master, a poor Taoist has been taken advantage of. I really have no shame in asking the Holy Master to punish me."

When the prince heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he had a bad premonition.

King Xin raised his eyebrows high, not expecting this at all.

Over there, King An couldn't hold it back and asked Yang Shu in a low voice: "Did you do it?"

Yang Shu's eyes flashed and he murmured: "It shouldn't be! No, it's definitely not!"

Wang An was puzzled.

What was his reaction? Is there one or not? Logically speaking, if you choose one out of ninety-nine, then one out of a hundred, the chance of winning both is very small. It is almost impossible to choose a specific person without using tricks...

Wang An thought so, and so did everyone else. For a moment, everyone's eyes were focused on Mingwei.

Yang Shu jumped up when he saw it: "No! We didn't cheat!"

As he shouted, his eyes flickered.

Over there, Xuanfei held the phoenix lottery and spoke again: "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with this phoenix lottery."

The emperor's face darkened: "Send it up!"

The chamberlain transferred the phoenix lottery to him again. After Wan Dabao inspected it, he whispered: "Your Majesty, please take a look, here..."

There is a tiny black spot just below the signature. Because the black spots are so small, if you don't pay attention, you will probably think they are wood grain.

Sneak in with the unmarked first lot, and then draw the tampered Phoenix lot.

Before drawing phoenix lots, draw a round first. This was a method that was changed before. In a short period of time, a loophole was actually taken advantage of? If this person has ill intentions towards the Holy Master...

The emperor's face darkened.

"National Preceptor."

"Yes."

"You really can't shirk it, but let's put down the punishment for now and find out the truth first."

"Thank you, Your Majesty for your mercy."

Xuanfei stood up again, turned around and was about to give instructions to the Taoist priests guarding the temple, but he heard a "plop" in his ears, and someone knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, please be clear, this must be Ming Qi's doing. ! Think about it, how can there be such a coincidence in the world? His Royal Highness the King of Yue said he wanted to marry her, and she won the first lottery, and then the Phoenix lottery. What kind of luck is this, Your Majesty!"

The person who spoke was Wen Ying.

When Xuanfei handed over the thirteen first lottery tickets, the sweat started to fall from her forehead.

Others don’t know it, but she knows in her heart that the unmarked number one is hers!

Then when it came to the phoenix lottery, Wen Ying's guilt doubled and she immediately panicked.

If this is found out...

But the first thing everyone thought about was Mingwei~IndoMTL.com~ The ladies around also went to see Mingwei, and Wen Ying immediately grabbed the life-saving straw.

Yes, this is a ready-made scapegoat. If we don’t strike first now, when will we wait?

So she immediately knelt down.

Put all the blame on Mingwei!

Anyway, she won the first lottery and the phoenix lottery so coincidentally, it was impossible to explain. Once it is found out that there is something wrong with her, no one will care about her!

Wen Ying planned it very well. When she said this, others really believed it.

Miss Lu hesitated for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, you have already said that the draw is fair. If someone violates your will and does something secretly, wouldn't it be deceiving the emperor? It doesn't matter if we lose, but your reputation is eternal. It must not be damaged."

A few other unwilling ladies also echoed.

The emperor's eyes flickered and he was about to speak

The prince stood up suddenly and said in a deep voice: "Father, you must not do this!"

The imperial concubine who was about to speak paused.

I heard the prince say: "This is our family matter. The worst we can do is cancel today's concubine selection and just say that no one won the lottery. If there is a large-scale verification, wouldn't it be a joke for the whole world to see the royal family?"

The emperor paused.

This is true. He wanted to embarrass the boy, and was afraid that his own son would be involved. The prince probably also helped Wen Ying. It would be bad if they were found out together.

Unexpectedly, before the emperor spoke, Xuanfei had already called someone over.

He reported: "Your Majesty, this is the mistake of my Xuandu Temple. I need to find out clearly and explain it to you. It is not difficult to find out who did it. Those who were in charge of drawing lots outside just now are these few Disciple. Each lot has only one top lot, so they will definitely recognize the person who is drawn!"
