Playful Queen

Chapter 36

At this time, the sedan chair stopped, Zi Yechen looked away, and said lightly: "Don't embarrass me today!"

After leaving a word, the tall and straight body came out of the sedan chair, Meng Li held up the hem of her skirt disapprovingly, and got out of the sedan chair with Xi'er's support.

People knelt down layer by layer like waves, and said in unison: "Congratulations to the emperor, long live long live, long live long live, and empress a thousand years old."

"Pingshen." The thick voice was full of courage, and all the talents stood up one after another and looked at their emperor. His facial features were profound, but the nobility of a king was revealed between his brows. Both talent and person were so perfect, more people noticed What stood out was the queen standing beside him. She was soft and noble with an elegant aura, as if she was not as unbearable as in the legend. Is she really the rich daughter of the prime minister's mansion?
At the same time that countless gazes converged into a bright halo, highlighting this pair of extraordinary figures, Zi Yechen turned around, was so indifferent that he didn't even look at her, and walked away with strides, letting everyone know that she was just a girl. The queen who fell out of favor so much that even the emperor would not even glance at her.

Mengli smiled disapprovingly, took the three huge sticks of incense from the monk, and reminded: "Your Majesty, be careful, it's raining this morning, and the steps are a bit wet."

This ancient ceremony is really cumbersome, the first thing is to offer incense to the Buddha with the emperor, Meng Li frowned, wearing a heavy headdress, holding three sticks of incense, stepping up the white jade stone steps step by step, waiting for the emperor to offer incense , she took a step slowly, holding her head above her head, and just when she was about to bow down, there was a loud chirping sound, and a bolt of lightning flashed fiercely down from the sky...

Immediately there was a loud bang, and the hand of the Buddha statue was severed by lightning, and it was smashed down from the air...

"Escort! Protect the emperor!" Xia Xuanlie shouted loudly, tapped his toes, leaped lightly, and rushed to the emperor like lightning.

The guards immediately stepped forward to protect the queen, Mengli took a few steps back again and again, thanks to her quick reflexes, she was only one step away when the bergamot fell on her head.

At this moment, the scene was suddenly chaotic, everyone was shocked, turmoil, and whispers of fear sounded out one after another. This lightning is really terrifying. How could it suddenly break the hand of the Buddha statue? Thinking, everyone began to panic more and more. What? The reasons for offending the gods have been thought about thousands of times.

People began to mutter in their hearts, held their breath, and dared not speak more.

Mengli was also frightened by the sudden situation, she clutched her chest, logically speaking, it is impossible for the lightning in this weather to hit the Buddha statue, unless...

At this time, an official came out, pale in shock, took a deep breath, knelt down on the marble floor, and shouted: "The emperor sees it clearly, this is the punishment of heaven! The punishment of offending the gods!"

This sentence made people who were afraid to speak stand up one after another, "From the perspective of the old minister, this is a warning from the gods."

"Otherwise, how could the Buddha's hand be broken by lightning?"

More and more people came out to speak, and even the abbot who was standing on the side stepped forward and said worriedly: "In my opinion, there is an ominous person who made the gods angry. If the anger of the gods is not appeased, Jintian will It will be difficult."

Hearing these words, Meng Li frowned. What kind of monk is this? He is simply bewitching the public with demonic words, and he has to make people panic to feel at ease?Thinking about it, she glanced at the ministers under the altar, and saw countless sharp eyes all cast in her direction, including the cold black eyes on the left.

"An ominous person?" Zi Yechen spit out these four words softly, looking at Mengli, a meaningful trace could not help but appear at the corner of his mouth, it was a joke.

"Could it be that this ominous person is..." Everyone looked at the queen with accusatory eyes at the same time, slammed the ground, and knelt down, "Please see clearly! The empress is an ominous person!"

"It's nonsense! Please the emperor look into it!" Shen Yanlang turned pale when he heard that everyone was pointing at his daughter, and knelt down on the ground with folded fists.

This scene was really outnumbered, and there were countless people standing on the side of the accusation, overwhelmed, and shouted: "Your Majesty, this matter may be big or small, it is related to the Jin Dynasty, please think twice, Your Majesty!"

Zi Yechen looked like a bergamot that had been severed, and his brows exuding the majesty's spirit couldn't help but frowned, and said sharply: "Everyone be quiet!" The majestic voice immediately silenced the scene. In the Jin Dynasty, what happened today would indeed have a huge impact, and soon the people would be in chaos. He had to find a way to appease everyone.

Turning to Yun Feiyang with cold eyes, he said, "What do you think, Feiyang?"

Yun Feiyang immediately understood the meaning of the emperor. The most important thing right now is to quell everyone's panic, so he clasped his fists and explained unhurriedly: "I think this is purely a coincidence. Baoguang Temple has been built for a long time, and this Buddha statue is more It takes a long time, and it is normal to break."

"As for this lightning... the sky is gloomy today, and there are signs of thunderstorms. It is normal for lightning to appear." Zi Moyu put away her usual cynical expression, and then said Yun Feiyang, and then, her eyes fixed on that figure, unexpectedly He was surprised to find that she was actually wearing clothes watching a show.

At the most dangerous moment, no one cared about her, yet everyone accused her of being an ominous person?Is there any reason for this?Mengli's heart was burning with anger, but she still looked like she was watching a play. After sweeping away the people who were singing together, besides her father, there were Master Yun and Mo Yu who spoke for her. Immediately, I started looking for something from the hand of the Buddha statue at my feet...

Zi Yechen's frowning brows gradually relaxed, and then nodded, "What Ai Qing said is true, this is just a coincidence, you don't need to panic."

"Your Majesty, such a situation has never happened since ancient times. How could it be a coincidence? Please think twice, Your Majesty." An official exclaimed excitedly, kneeling down as he spoke, "For the sake of Jintian, please abolish the Empress!"

After the words fell, most of the officials at the scene began to kneel down one after another, shouting in unison: "Please the emperor abolish the empress..."

At this time, the abbot of Baoguang Temple said slowly: "I'm telling you the truth. Three nights ago, I watched the sky at night. The stars spread visions. This is an ominous omen. There is a big problem!"

On the left, there was an ominous person, and on the right, an ominous person, Mengli glanced at the old monk coldly, then set her eyes on Zi Yechen, and said coldly: "In this case, the emperor can abolish the concubine." You can..." Anyway, it's exactly what she wants to divorce her and give her freedom, but today she just can't let people slander her like this!
Mengli walked up to the monk with her skirt in her hand, "However, before that, I want to prove one thing!"
