Holding an ordinary script, pretending to be a god in various worlds

Chapter 8: Seizing the Year of Longevity - Part

When leaving the palace, Wang Yi followed behind with his hands in his sleeves, looking calm and composed. Xu Yan held Song Ren's hand and kept talking to him.

"See you later, Prime Minister," said Minister Xu with a wry smile.

After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Song Ren to bow to Prime Minister Wang in embarrassment.

"After so many years, everyone knows Xu Yan. He likes to put on a sour face for no reason. It's hard for you, Old Song."

Wang Yi felt somewhat emotional.

The news of the three people leaving the palace spread quickly to the ears of some people with ulterior motives.

Far away in an elegant courtyard of Tsinghua University, several middle-aged and elderly people, some dignified and some noble, sat opposite each other and sent away the messenger.

The Xiao family head with the darkest beard frowned, unable to control his temper, "What do you think about that so-called ghost? Is it true or false? Is it a scam?"

"Please be patient. The Li family kid can't control so many people to cover up his lies. I think 80% of it is true."

Another noble family head, Xie Fu, was somewhat excited.

People in the world are afraid of death, especially those who enjoy the greatest wealth in the world. When they die, they will have nothing.

The most important thing for them was that a ghost who crawled out of hell came forward to tell their story.

When it comes to treatment after death, no one can let go!

"Eight points is really good, otherwise we wouldn't be gathered here"

A family head agreed and said, "Hey, are you prepared to force that ghost to tell the truth? I heard that its strength is extraordinary and it forced all the Li family's ancestors to reincarnate."

"What kind of background can a peasant have? Even if he goes underground to take charge of the Yin Dynasty, he can still be disciplined by a mere little ghost!"

Having said that, who wouldn’t be envious knowing that the Li family can rule the underworld dynasty?

They are a family with a thousand-year heritage and are extremely noble. They should be much better than the peasant Li family, but they don't even know what's going on with their own family.

Although they all comforted themselves that a noble family is a noble family no matter where they go, and they must have a status in the underworld.

He was really feeling insecure, which was why he couldn't wait to threaten Ling Xiao.

"Let's not talk about other things. He is a ghost after all. I don't know if human methods can work."

At this point, the head of the Xiao family proudly took out a jade ring. Although it was of good quality, it was not considered a good thing in their eyes.

"Hmph, I have been prepared for a long time. A fierce ghost came to the human world and possessed a minor official. I consulted a master and drained the minor official's blood. With the help of the jade ring that the fierce ghost has been wearing since childhood, he can definitely resist a little bit."

The head of the Xie family also laughed and scolded, "You old man, you acted too early. No wonder that family couldn't find anyone."

The others also nodded. It seemed that they had all looked for the Ling family.

Then he showed what he had prepared one by one.

There are Buddha relics, Taoist elixirs, and even more bizarre are the Eight Treasure Wheels made from women's essence and blood.

........................

Early in the morning of the second day, the emperor held a banquet, but he not only entertained people from aristocratic families, but also important officials in the court and royal family members.

After everyone sat down, there was only a cup of tea, a plate of fragrant sugar, and a plate of seasonal flowers on the table.

Both were fragrant, elegant and clean. Li Yue drank the tea, and the eunuch beside him presented him with chicken tongue incense, which he put into his lips and swallowed.

When Wang Yi saw this action, he quickly smiled and understood His Majesty's intention.

According to folklore, ghosts and gods will become holy if they are close to fragrant and clean things, and will go crazy if they encounter bloody and smelly things.

He thought that His Majesty had been so noble for so long that he couldn't bend down anymore, but now it seems that he is still very flexible.

As he thought about it, he slowly began to drink the flower petal tea. Out of the corner of his eye he saw other people also starting to drink, and his heart sank.

After this incident, although the aristocratic families can be suppressed, the name of ghosts and gods will be confirmed. I don't know how many forces will try their best to please and get close to the Grand Princess of Qin.

The wind is about to blow in Dajin.

It was not until the sun gradually rose to mid-sky that the people from the aristocratic families became extremely impatient, and Ling Xiao finally came skipping over.

In the bright sunshine, the little girl raised her foot and stepped over the threshold with her lips pouted, seeming a little unhappy.

The Hepu pearls are strung together to form flower buds, the light yellow palace dress is exquisitely cut, and the sleeves are tied with slender silk ribbons, revealing two small arms that are white, tender and cute.

No matter how you look at her, she's just an ordinary girl, at most she's pretty.

Could it be that the Li family kid was really playing a trick on us? Several family heads were angry and disappointed.

The head of the Xiao family was the most impatient, and his eyes were about to spit fire at this moment.

After Ling Xiao sat down, Li Yue diligently handed her a cup of fragrant tea. He accidentally touched the girl's fingertips and felt a chill that went straight to his bones, from his hands to his heart and lungs.

He looked outside. The bright sunshine of midsummer seemed to melt the flowers and plants. A few steps inside the hall, there was a huge ice container filled with ice cubes to maintain a comfortable temperature.

Ghosts are extremely yin things——

Ling Xiao looked at him meaningfully and said nothing.

Inside his brain, he detected that the emperor's heartbeat was accelerating rapidly, and his entire system was tense.

"Host, your character as the goddess of the underworld is very well designed. However, why did your hands suddenly become cold?"

The system is puzzled.

"Don't ask about things you shouldn't know, dear. It's not good for you."

system:……

Before Ling Xiao took the tea and had a chance to drink it, someone had already lost his patience.

There was an almost inaudible sound of clothes rubbing against each other. Patriarch Xie stood up like flowing water, looked directly at Ling Xiao and said, "Your Majesty, this woman's origins are unknown. She is just trying to attract attention by talking about a ghost from the underworld."

Is this what we agreed on? Patriarch Xiao was a little confused. Would it be a bit bad to start scolding directly?

Don't worry, Patriarch Xie gave a soothing look, then stared at Ling Xiao, walking forward without stopping, becoming more and more excited as he spoke.

In his words, Ling Xiao had become a person who relied on sleight of hand to boldly deceive the emperor and court officials.

He must be taken out and punished immediately.

Of course, he also hinted that if one wants to prove one's identity, one must produce solid evidence.

Li Yue slammed the table and said, "How dare you! Do you know what you are saying? Get out of here now." He glanced at Ling Xiao out of the corner of his eye, fearing that she would be angry.

Seeing that the girl seemed to be stunned with confusion in her eyes, he became more and more excited to play the role of a nephew who was protecting his aunt.

"Tong'er, you said I was just going to shorten their lifespans, am I being too merciful?"

"Well, host, don't worry. I think you are vicious enough."

With a sigh, he recalled that Ling Xiao borrowed money from the mall to buy some materials such as skulls and blood of women from dark times and dark places.

As he hummed a song and fiddled with it, he felt a chill in his heart and didn't even have the energy to complain about Ling Xiao for borrowing money again.

Holding the prepared talisman in his hand, Ling Xiao watched the performance in front of him leisurely.

Li Yue's ministers joined in the conversation, and the aristocratic families also gathered together to blame each other.

The poor nephew's face became darker and darker, and even the fine white porcelain teacup was cracked. He was worthy of being the emperor.

This is no longer just an act. The two sides have long-standing grudges against each other. After Li Yue ascended the throne, he had made outstanding achievements and held great power.

However, the aristocratic families looked down on the Li family because of their humble origins. The two previous emperors had already weakened the aristocratic families greatly.

By the time of Li Yue's generation, the aristocratic family would be manipulated by the royal family if they did not resist, so they made frequent moves, which of course displeased the emperor.

Patriarch Xie saw Ling Xiao's carefree look and blurted out, "If this woman can prove her identity, I will be willing to submit to her!"

"Are you telling the truth?" Ling Xiao asked quietly.

Touching the relic of the eminent monk in his arms, Patriarch Xie raised his head high, his pale beard drawing a beautiful arc in the air:

"Once a word is spoken, it cannot be taken back"

"OK"

The little girl stood up, raised a childish smile, gently grasped the Xie family head with both hands, and giggled, "Then I will take ten years of your life!"
