Chapter 759 We Must Stand Up for Ourselves!
When King Xiao heard that Song Ruozhen could actually see the ghosts around Abbess Jingyin, and even described it in such a vivid and detailed way that it seemed as if the ghosts were right beside them, he felt his hair stand on end.
Fortunately, it was afternoon. If it were night, the scene would be terrifying just to think about.
"King Chu, what the Queen Consort said must be true, right? I could tell from Master Jingyin's reaction that her secret thoughts had been exposed."
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review quietly questioned Chu Junting: How could the Princess Consort of Chu know so much information in just the time it takes to eat a meal? Could it be that the King of Chu's people had investigated and found out the truth?
Chu Junting knew his wife's abilities very well. This was not something he had investigated; it was clear that Ruozhen had indeed met Master Jingyin's daughter.
Even if these statements have been specifically investigated, how could they be so accurate given the events that have occurred over so many years?
"Didn't you ever consider... that my wife might actually be able to see?" Chu Junting asked.
A look of disbelief flashed in the eyes of the Minister of Justice. He seemed to be instantly shocked, feeling a chill run down his spine and subconsciously rubbing his arm.
Why does he feel that the weather has suddenly turned cold?
Qi Qingyi had learned about the situation at Tianci Nunnery from her master during the meal earlier. Now, seeing Song Ruozhen's words that stunned everyone, she felt that she couldn't let her have this excellent opportunity!
"Your Highness, isn't there a powerful master in Qiyang City? We happened to run into him when we arrived, and we even invited him over."
Since the matter at Tianci Nunnery is so troublesome, why not invite the Master to assist the Dali Temple in handling the case?
She knew how powerful Master Xuan Yang was beside the prince. Although the man from Qiyang City was indeed Master Xuan Yang's legitimate son, she believed that his abilities were not too bad either.
Song Ruozhen was just a woman, and the investigation of cases by the Dali Temple was not something she should have interfered with. She was just relying on her fortune-telling skills to try to make a name for herself.
Remembering that Song Ruozhen had previously distinguished herself among the princesses by assisting the King of Chu in resolving the flood, it's clear that she had made a difference.
Now that this opportunity has been presented to her, she naturally has to seize it; she can't let Song Ruozhen always beat her to it!
The Prince of Liang had come today with the intention of testing Song Ruozhen's true abilities. Now the entire capital city knows of her skills, but he has also been involved in metaphysics for many years and has many talented people around him.
He was curious to know how capable Song Ruozhen, who looked so young, could possibly be.
Many things are not developing as he expected, and a lot of the variables are with this woman. If he can get rid of her, he can probably get everything back under his control!
"Master Qingfeng, you should go and take a look."
Qi Qingyi gave Master Qingfeng a wink, and the latter immediately understood and walked up to Song Ruozhen and the others.
"Come on, let's go and take a look."
Qi Qingyi pulled Tang Xuening along. Although she believed in metaphysics, she did not believe that Song Ruozhen, who was so young, could have such profound Taoist skills.
Tang Xuening was still covering her mouth, feeling like vomiting. She had never seen so many skeletons before, let alone some of them that hadn't even turned into skeletons yet. At this moment, her mind was filled with those images, and she couldn't shake them off at all.
"Xue Ning, can't you be a little more sensible? Everyone else is fine right now, but you're the only one who keeps vomiting."
"You don't even try to hide anything from His Highness Prince Xiao!"
Qi Qingyi couldn't help but feel disgusted. She originally thought that Tang Xuening, as the daughter of the Prime Minister, would be knowledgeable, but who would have thought that she would be so useless!
With His Highness Prince Xiao right in front of her, how could he possibly like her after she vomited like this in front of him?
Upon hearing this, Tang Xuening couldn't help but feel anxious and forcibly suppressed the nausea in her heart.
She came here to make His Highness Prince Xiao like her. If she ends up disgusting to His Highness instead, wouldn't it be all for nothing?
Thinking about her recent situation within the family, and the looks she'd received from others at various poetry gatherings, she clenched her fists.
So many people look down on her now, she's determined to prove herself!
As long as she can become a princess, she can redeem herself and let these people know that she is more noble than them and is not someone they think they can trample on!
And her father and brother, even after all this time, still treat her badly because she did something wrong.
She had to prove herself!
However, Song Ruozhen was the one who started all of this. Things change, and she refused to believe that she would lose to this woman!
Master Qingfeng was overjoyed when he learned that King Liang and Queen Liang had come to Qiyang City.
He knew, of course, what a life his master lived in the capital. Unfortunately, he was not skilled enough. Although he had tried every means to become his master's disciple, it was entirely by spending money.
Even so, his reputation as a disciple of his master was enough for him to thrive in Qiyang City.
Upon learning that they were only there to deal with a young princess, he took them even less seriously.
Although his understanding of Tao is worlds apart from his master's, how much skill could a princess possibly possess in metaphysics?
He probably only learned a little bit and wanted to steal credit in front of the prince. He has been a master for so many years, so he can naturally see the dislike for this person revealed in Princess Liang's words!
If he can seize this opportunity and make the Princess of Chu lose face, he will have a good life from now on!
Maybe I can even go to the capital with them, and then I'll truly reach the pinnacle of my life!
“Your Highness, there are no ghosts here. Please don’t talk nonsense,” Master Qingfeng said immediately.
When Song Ruozhen and the others saw that Master Jingyin's attitude had clearly softened and were about to reveal everything, a guy suddenly appeared and immediately contradicted them, causing their faces to turn cold instantly.
Master Jingyin had already believed what Song Ruozhen said and was filled with anticipation.
In fact, she had died long ago. She died along with her daughter the very day her daughter was sent to her death.
She's nothing but a walking corpse now.
Every time she closes her eyes, she sees her daughter pleading and begging to leave.
Even with sincere chanting and prayers every day, she could not find true peace in her heart.
But when she heard the Queen of Chu say that her daughter had never resented her, her heart began to soften a little. Even though she knew it was just a fantasy, she couldn't help but hope for it.
If all of this were true, how wonderful that would be...
It wasn't until she heard Master Qingfeng's words that she came to her senses and realized with shock that she seemed to have been deceived. She had unknowingly believed the Princess of Chu's words and almost revealed all her hidden secrets...
"Princess Consort of Chu, this humble nun is but a lowly life, nothing at all. Why go to such lengths to deceive me?"
