Fortune Princess

Chapter 98 The Bad Omen
"There seems to be something." A few craftsmen nearby heard the movement and came over and looked at the pit.In their line of work, it is normal to dig things in the ground, but they are all in shallow places, such as the property that was buried secretly by the original owner's house, and even corpses were dug up.

It's just that it's rare that there are still things in this pit that is already so deep.

"I'll go down and have a look." A daring craftsman suggested, and the others agreed, tied a hemp rope around his waist, and let him go down from the mouth of the pit.

The craftsman removed the soil next to it with a small shovel, revealing a black lacquer.Carefully brushing away the soil, a black stone tablet appeared in front of the eyes, and the scarlet words on it frightened the craftsman, whose legs and feet were weak and fell to the ground.

"Death..." The shocking word made all the craftsmen back away, no matter what its meaning is, it is always bad luck.

"This stele is so weird. It's so deep in the ground. It's obviously not man-made. Could it be God's will?" Someone in the crowd suddenly said such a sentence, which aroused the sympathy of others.

"The designation didn't run away, but why is it a word "death"?"

"I still don't understand, God's will, this word is either a dead person or..." Subjugation, these two words emerged in everyone's mind, but no one dared to say it first.

Just kidding, isn't it a blatant rebellion to talk about the subjugation of the country in public?Anyone who dares to speak out will be beheaded by the royal guards in the next second. This kind of tiger and wolf words are taboo in the royal family.

The voices of the crowd continued to speculate, and the ministers in the court played repeatedly, making the emperor's face sink like water.

"Your Majesty, this is an ominous omen." The imperial doctor who was over forty years old took a step forward and recounted the rumors of the people in the capital to the emperor.

"Absurd, Your Majesty, this is a lie to confuse the public. Since the founding of the Great Wei, the people have been rich and the country has been rich, so how can we talk about the unknown will of God? Your Majesty, such unhealthy trends cannot continue." A group of military generals argued that if it was said that literati are useless, a trivial matter can be exaggerated , Da Wei has today's peace and prosperity is a pie in the sky?
So how do they feel about these soldiers who fought on the battlefield and dedicated their lives and even their lives for the country?

Xiao Qixing looked at the two groups of people who were arguing endlessly in the hall, his eyes deepened: "Did you take the things out?"

"Back to the emperor, I have already ordered people to take out the stele." Jing Zhaoyin immediately said that it was too difficult for him. Although Lord Huohou was investigating the mountain fire, he couldn't just let it go. Again, this stele is really not easy to deal with, and the emperors of all dynasties are most taboo about this kind of stele.Naturally, he has to be the first to do everything, otherwise Wu Sha will be lost.

The guards carried the stele into the main hall. The black stele, one person tall, looked at people, and the word "death" in the middle was very glaring. The ministers who were noisy just now were all silent at this moment, observing the emperor's face in secret.

Xiao Qixing originally scoffed at the theory of ghosts and gods, but ever since the national teacher prayed for rain, he was afraid, otherwise he would not have looked around for a woman on the sixth day of June to be Xiao Yichen's concubine.If it was in the past, if someone told him that a woman could keep a country from rising or falling, he would definitely not believe it, and beat the other party half to death.

But this matter happened after begging for rain, and the national teacher said it himself, so he had to believe it.Even so, Xiao Qixing gradually forgot about the matter due to the constant peace, especially Lian Yinger, who was brought by the imperial concubine, after getting in touch with Xiao Yichen, not only did Xiao Yichen not get better, but his body became even more uncomfortable.So later when Concubine Shu punished her, he didn't intervene.

"Your Majesty, the previous mountain fire burned strangely, and then another stone tablet appeared. I remember that the national teacher had made a prophecy before he died. Could it be that we have not acted all the time, so God issued a warning?" Such straightforward words, Only An Lebo, who fought with the emperor together, would come here as soon as he opened his mouth, and the other courtiers would not dare even if they were given ten guts.

Xiao Qixing pinched the center of his brows, his head began to ache, and the confidant eunuch at the side was very winking, seeing the emperor like this, he immediately announced his retreat.This topic was stopped, and the ministers had no choice but to give up and discuss it later, who dares to force the emperor.

"How did the investigation go?" Xiao Qixing stepped back and left, and a man in black appeared in the hall, silently, kneeling respectfully in front of Xiao Qixing.

"Returning to the emperor, there is something strange about Baixianglou. The traces have been wiped away. As for the big pit, I went down to investigate and found no traces of man-made." The man responded respectfully.

"Continue to investigate, and don't let go of any clues." Xiao Qixing ordered in a deep voice, and the man quickly disappeared in response.

The hostility in Xiao Qixing's eyes gradually spread, and he wanted to see who was tossing behind his back.

Fu Qingyu, who promised Huo Ting to wait for him to come back before leaving, felt flustered just after reading the ledger in Zhuyuan.

"Mother?" Jing Yi, who had just entered the house after practicing martial arts in the courtyard, saw Fu Qingyu's expression was not good, so she hurried over to help her.

"There's no need to worry about these things. Besides, we're about to leave. Why do you need to worry about this? Just leave it to Uncle Liu."

Fu Qingyu patted the back of Jing Yi's hand to indicate that he was fine.But Jing Yi was worried, and grabbed her wrist to feel her pulse. After all, it was taught by Uncle Mu himself, so asking for a safe pulse is no problem.

Seeing Jing Yi's serious profile, Fu Qingyu smiled softly.

Unlike the Zhenyuanhou's Mansion, the Prince's Mansion has become a mess. Xiao Yichen, who has been getting up early all this time, has not moved at all until today.Rong Hui was a little worried, and circled around the door of the bedroom.

"What's wrong?" Seeing Rong Hui like this, the commander stepped forward and asked.

"His Royal Highness hasn't come out yet. I'm hesitating whether to go in and have a look. His Highness has always disliked other people entering his room, but..." Rong Hui thought about His Royal Highness's gloomy face for days, maybe it was stimulated by Mr. Jing Yi Struggling?He heard Mr. Jing Yi call His Highness the Prince instead of Xiao Yichen with his own ears. From the perspective of Rong Hui who has been following the two of them, it is unbelievable.

Mr. Jing Yi has always done whatever he wants in front of His Royal Highness, and has always called him by his first name.

The commander frowned, looking at the sun in the sky, it would be noon in an hour, His Royal Highness had never been like this.

"Let's go, I'll go with you, even if His Royal Highness is angry, if something happens, even if we have a hundred heads, it's not enough to chop off."

Rong Hui also felt that what the commander said was right, so he knocked on Xiao Yichen's door: "His Royal Highness? It's almost noon, does His Royal Highness need a meal?"

After a tentative question, there was no movement in the room, Rong Hui and the commander looked at each other, the commander gave Rong Hui a wink, and Rong Hui stepped aside.

"His Royal Highness, this subordinate is rude!" Kicking on the door, the commander used his inner strength, several times, the door was kicked open, and several people rushed in.

"His Royal Highness!" Rong Hui exclaimed.
