Chapter 695: The Child Bride Doesn’t Want to Follow the Plot (9)
Two hours later.
Above them, a huge ship appeared, hanging in the air.
"Emma, doesn't this boat swim in the water? How can it fly in the sky?"
"That's right! Weird things happen every year, but this year there are more. I think I've learned a lot."
"Look, it's falling, it's falling!"
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Su Li, dressed in a gorgeous red dress and a veil of the same color, slowly walked down from the spaceship.
Behind her followed Suna, who was disguised as a maid, as well as the prefect of Wu'an County and escorting soldiers.
After everyone got off the boat, the huge spaceship, which was originally more than 20 meters long, turned into a two-foot-long boat and fell into Su Li's hands.
The emperor looked at the small boat in Su Li's hand with an incredible expression, took several steps forward, and bowed deeply to the ground.
Then he stood up, with a look of joy on his face, "May God bless our Great Wei Dynasty. It is such a blessing for us to have a fairy like the Saint!"
Su Li slowly untied her veil and gently opened her red lips, "Your Majesty, you are too kind!"
And the moment she slowly revealed her face, Prime Minister Pan standing behind the emperor was shocked.
Why does the saint's appearance resemble that of his first wife?
Thinking back, he once had a daughter who was as cute as a fairy when she was born.
That year, he was just a poor scholar from a poor family.
His mother said that a girl is a loss-making thing and her noise would affect his imperial examinations, so it would be better to throw her away.
She also said that he was in good health and could have a bunch of children when he became successful.
Later, he became successful and had many wives and concubines, and indeed had several well-behaved and lovely children.
He also forgot about his eldest daughter whom he had abandoned.
If the saint had not looked exactly like his wife, he would not have been able to remember her at all.
Judging from her age, she should be about the same age as the saint, right?
Just as he was lost in thought, he heard the emperor's voice, "Prime Minister Pan?"
He immediately came back to his senses, "Ah? What's wrong, Your Majesty?"
The emperor's face was dark. "Prime Minister Pan, didn't you hear what the Saint said just now? The drought in the north is all because of officials in the court who are incompatible with me and have committed the Seven Evils. Please help me find out which official in the court was born at noon on the Double Ninth Day of September!"
It turned out that while Prime Minister Pan was in a daze, Su Li had already been having a very pleasant conversation with the current emperor.
The emperor asked Su Li to help look at his country's fortune. Su Li casually said that people born at noon on the Double Ninth Festival have seven evil spirits in their horoscopes, which are in conflict with them!
Of course, she wasn't just making it up, she had a purpose.
When Prime Minister Pan heard these eight words, he was secretly shocked.
This, isn’t this his horoscope?
I heard from his mother when he was born.
A Taoist priest passed by his house and said that he would become an official in the future and had a noble destiny.
Why is it that I have the Seven Evils in my fate?
Just then, he looked up at Su Li.
I saw the smile and mockery in Su Li's eyes.
In an instant, he saw many things...
After his mother abandoned her daughter, she was raised by a family called Zhou.
Afterwards, the couple in that family both passed away. She worked hard to support a family and depended on Zhou's son for survival.
Later, the child of the Zhou family won the top spot in the imperial examination, but the wife he married was not her, but another woman.
One day, the wife was out on the street and accidentally saw a child who looked very similar to herself. She knew that she must be the child they had lost.
Later, after asking around, he learned that she knew nothing about music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, and could only make a living by grinding tofu, so he gave up the idea of taking her in.
Later, when he heard that she had married a fifth-rank official from an ordinary family, he stopped asking questions.
But, what was unexpected was.
The wife of the Zhou family boy actually tried to assassinate His Majesty at a palace banquet in front of all the civil and military officials.
After learning that she had divorced him and was imprisoned, he talked about it with his wife and his mother.
His mother said, "Since you are worried about being implicated, why not take the initiative and pretend that you never had this child."
Yes, the whole capital didn’t know that they had this child.
As long as she dies, everything will be over!
So, she ended up dying tragically from the food her wife sent her...
"Your Majesty, as far as I know, among all the civil and military officials in the court, only Prime Minister Pan has this character. The officials who congratulated him on his birthday can all prove it!" General Qin, Pan's political enemy, stepped out.
"Prime Minister Pan? Really?" The emperor glanced at him.
"Your Majesty, I am innocent! Since I was born, no one has ever said that I was born with the seven evil spirits!" Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Pan quickly knelt down to prove his innocence.
"That's because the person who read your fortune was incompetent. Since the Saint said so, then I'll dismiss you from your position as Prime Minister!" The emperor said casually.
Then, he looked at Su Li and said with a flattering smile, "Saint, I have never experienced the feeling of flying like a bird in my life. Can you fulfill this little wish of mine?"
It's not just him, who else in the whole capital has experienced this?
There are no such things as airplanes in this world.
Su Li nodded and looked around at everyone, "In that case, I will let you all experience it..."
"Wait!" A voice interrupted Su Li.
It’s Prime Minister Pan.
He stood up with a sad face and walked to Su Li. "You were born in February of the Jiachen year? You are the child bride of the Zhou family? How did you become a saint? Shouldn't you only know how to grind tofu?"
Su Li raised an eyebrow.
This guy is really brave. He actually dares to ask this in front of all the civil and military officials.
Not bad.
She had just awakened Prime Minister Pan's past memories when she looked into his eyes.
It reminded him of how he had killed his own daughter in order to avoid being implicated.
Since the client wants to make him regret his past actions, he naturally has to let him know what his Pan family did in the past.
"You, tell me! Tell me, how did you become a saint, and how did you know my fortune?" Prime Minister Pan raised his hands and wanted to grab her.
However, just when he was one meter in front of Su Li, a huge energy bounced him away.
That was the protective shield that came with Su Li's defensive robe.
Pan Xiang, who was ejected, fell among the Imperial Guards, spurting blood from his mouth.
"How dare you! How can you talk to the saint? Take him away!" the emperor said angrily.
Su Li said softly, "It's okay."
She stretched out her hand, and the two-foot-long boat turned into a large ship of more than twenty feet.
"Your Majesty, please! I will take you to fly in the sky and feel the feeling of being a bird!" Su Li said calmly.
Pan Xiang, who was not far away, struggled frantically, "Saint girl, I am your father! I am really your father! How could you do this to me! Tell His Majesty quickly that you just blame me for not being able to raise you back then. I am not destined to commit the Seven Evils!"
The emperor was slightly surprised, turned around and looked at Prime Minister Pan, and asked stutteringly, "Saint, is what Prime Minister Pan said true?"
