Chapter 228 Qing Leng Buddha 56
Stupid?
Afu was very angry just now, and now she is even more furious after hearing Lin Chunhuan's words, "Obviously I am the emperor's favorite woman, he will definitely be happy if he knows it is me."
"Why can't I say it!"
Looking at Afu suspiciously, Lin Chunhuan gently covered her mouth and nose with the silk handkerchief in her hand, "You said he would be happy? But according to me, He will be afraid.”
"It's even possible that after hearing your crazy words, I could directly order you to be killed on the spot. That's not impossible."
Afu's looking at her like this made her very uncomfortable. But she had to admit that Lin Chunhuan was right. If she hadn't had such worries, she would have revealed her identity as early as the day she came back from the dead.
How could I endure the humiliation and bear the burden until now!
Seeing Afu’s lips pouting, she was speechless.
Lin Chun sat up straight with a smile, "Okay, let's talk about it, what do you want to do, maybe... we can join forces."
Afu naturally sneered at this suggestion.
She didn't believe that the woman in front of her would help her. After all, she had just harmed Lin Chunhuan's two children. No matter how generous a person was, it would be impossible for her to ignore past grudges.
Of course, such a reaction was within Lin Chunhuan's expectation, and she was not in a hurry.
Compared to Lin Chunhuan's indifference, the emperor's face was particularly ugly when he saw Kong Shi. Although he had tried hard to show his emotions and anger, the expression on his face was still not good-looking.
“Master’s words, it’s possible that I feel that I am not destined to be my destiny.”
The emperor's calm tone made it difficult to detect any emotion or anger, but the words put together were enough to make people shudder!
But the emperor's words did not make any change in Kong Shi's expression. He just opened his eyes lightly, put his hands together and recited the Buddha's name, "The poor monk only said what he saw. As for the rest, he will not be arrogant. Add speculation.”
“The strange stone found in the South China Sea is naturally in the shape of a phoenix. The ancient calligraphy on it does indicate that the destiny is attributed to the phoenix. As for the rest, the Holy Spirit needs to distinguish it by himself.”
After the words fell, Kong Shi lowered his head again, completely turning a blind eye to the threatening eyes of the emperor in front of him.
Of course, these words also made the emperor's face turn livid, as if he was about to lose control of his emotions. He placed his hands on the armrests and clasped them repeatedly, "Master should understand that I am letting you enter the palace. Not to hear you say this.”
"Amitabha."
This time, Kong Shi didn't even bother to raise his eyes, "Monks don't lie."
Such a simple sentence almost made the atmosphere in the imperial study room extremely tense. , the South China Sea strange stone incident happened suddenly.
About half a month ago, a fisherman in the South China Sea was caught in a storm at sea. He thought he was about to die. Unexpectedly, at the critical moment, he saw a phoenix surge out, and the waves calmed down in just a moment.
Before the fishermen could react, the sea, which had been violently windy just a moment ago, had returned to its usual tranquility.
Everything is the same as usual, except for an extra stone on his fishing boat!
The stone is red in color.
In the sea, no matter what kind of thing appears, it is not surprising, let alone just a red stone. The strange thing is that the stone faintly looks like a phoenix crying blood!
There are some words on it that no one can understand.
The fishermen believed that the strange stone turned into a real phoenix and saved their lives. They respectfully took the stone back home as a protector, and even publicized in the village that they had seen the phoenix.
It is said that although the fisherman was the only one on the fishing boat at that time, the wind and waves were so strong that even on the shore, many people could faintly see the figure of the phoenix amid the rolling clouds and rain. Too many people witnessed it, and word of this miracle spread everywhere in just a few days, attracting more and more people to the fishing village to admire the strange stone.
One of them, like Kong Shi, recognized the ancient writings on the strange stones.
I don’t know how this matter fermented. Slowly, rumors began to spread. The content of the rumors was that the current emperor was not destined by destiny, and the country would soon change hands.
And the person who becomes the new emperor will most likely be a woman!
At first, the emperor didn't pay much attention to such rumors, but among the many rumors, he heard the one sentence that made his hair stand on end.
“Actually, Your Majesty, you don’t need to be so worried. The rumors outside are mixed and outrageous. Some even say that the Queen Mother gave birth to a daughter. In order to consolidate her position, she changed her position to the Crown Prince.”
"This kind of nonsense is nothing more than an attempt to smear your identity. No one will believe it, right?"
Kong Shi's tone was light, and it sounded like he was really saying it. It's like comforting the emperor.
Whether it was accidental or intentional, he kept looking down at the Buddhist beads in his hand. Naturally, he could not see the emperor's stiff body and eyes full of panic.
After receiving no response for a long time, Kong Shi finally raised his head, with some confusion in his eyes.
The emperor's original anger had been washed away. He thought that such rumors were only a small part, but he did not expect that Kong Shi in front of him had also heard it. For a while, his palms were covered with cold sweat.
Having to force out a dry smile, "Yes...yeah."
"It's just nonsense."
These words made Kong Shigou The corners of his lips curled up, "Since it's nonsense, don't worry about it. Rumors only stop with the wise."
The emperor stared at Kong Shi in front of him for a long time, but he really couldn't see anything. Kong Shi's face seemed to have only that look from beginning to end, which was light and showed no joy or anger.
As for the deeper things, I can’t see through them at all.
Finally, he waved his hand and asked people to retreat.
Kong Shi walked forward, and Eunuch Zhang walked in the door behind, "Your Majesty, Holy Ming! You guessed it right, this matter is really related to the regent!"
A word from Eunuch Zhang , the emperor's eyes immediately lit up.
Even the haze caused by the conversation with Kong Shi just now was swept away in an instant, "Sure enough, sure enough!"
"I knew that if no one was behind it, how could things in the South China Sea happen? It spread all over the capital so quickly, and it turned out to be his handiwork!"
The eyebrows and eyes that were originally full of youthful spirit gradually became filled with ruthlessness.
The regent was at a loss.
He didn't understand that he had been very cautious during this period. After the emperor returned to the palace, he did his best to fulfill his responsibilities in order not to be caught.
Even for a person like Kong Shi, the emperor still found ways to invite him into the palace twice.
It stands to reason that he has done everything right, but in recent times, he seems to have been targeted, being scolded repeatedly in the court without saying anything.
Even those ministers who were close to him have been demoted and transferred to other places. It has only been less than a month, and there is no one available around him anymore!
