The crowd was in an uproar, and everyone had disbelief on their faces.
"My mother is not a evil star!" Zhao Sidan crossed his arms and stood in front of Cheng Wanwan, "Come at me if you want to do anything!"
"The National Master just said that if there is an evil star in the country, it will gradually become a country of immorality, a country of disrespect, droughts and floods from the sky..." Cheng Zhao said coldly, "But in fact, in the past four or five years, the country of Dayu has become stronger and stronger day by day. , attracting more and more foreign countries to come to worship. Daeyu is a country of heaven and a land of etiquette. The so-called droughts and floods are just trivial hardships in hundreds of years. These hardships cannot knock down Daewoo. The people of Dayu Country cannot prove that my second aunt is a evil star!"
His words were sonorous, powerful and well-founded.
Mrs. Ruan praised her greatly: "Well said, I also agree with Master Cheng. Mrs. Sui is not a bad star, she is clearly a lucky star."
"In the past four or five years, has Mrs. Sui not made enough contributions?" Mrs. Lin said softly, "A person who has made countless contributions to the Dayu Dynasty and made people's lives better and better, has been crowned with a evil star. Two words, this will chill the hearts of many people."
Master Zhang turned to the emperor in the high position and said, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Master must have made a mistake..."
"God's guidance is never wrong." The Imperial Master's eyes were cold and solemn, "If you ladies and lords don't believe it, then I'll do it again. Please be careful."
He threw the mahogany sword into the air again, and the yellow talismans in his hands ignited one after another, and then turned into more than a dozen faint blue lights, all bent towards Cheng.
Zhao Sanniu took off his coat and threw himself towards the faint blue fire, but the fire could not be extinguished and instead became stronger and stronger.
He simply pulled Cheng's crescent arm to the side: "There must be something fishy here, mother, let's stand over there."
But no matter where they went, the blue flames followed them.
The expressions of the courtiers who were originally doubtful suddenly changed, and they all retreated...
"What exactly is going on?"
"Is Mrs. Sui really an evil star from heaven?"
"It is said that the former prince Xiao Jue was killed by Mrs. Sui's husband who died in the battle. If it is not an evil star, how can he communicate with ghosts?"
"No wonder a woman can become a second-grade imperial concubine in just four or five years. It turns out that there are ghosts and gods at work. It's simply ridiculous!"
"..."
"Mrs. Sui is really an evil star!" Princess Rongqing, who was standing in a high position, exclaimed, "Aren't those blue flames just the will-o'-the-wisps commonly seen in cemeteries? Why do these will-o'-the-wisps follow Mrs. Sui instead of others... ...I know that Mrs. Sui has made countless meritorious services and should not be called a evil star, but I wonder if everyone still remembers General Ding, the founder of the Dayu Dynasty. He also made countless meritorious services, but later, he colluded with foreign countries to invade our Dayu Dynasty! People can make meritorious deeds to save the country, or they can betray the country and destroy it. There is no conflict."
"Princess Rongqing is right." Cheng Wanwan said with a smile, "But there is one thing I said wrong. What do you mean these will-o'-the-wisps follow me instead of others? Why don't we give it a try."
She took steps and walked towards Rongqing step by step.
Wherever she went, the crowd quickly dispersed, but there were also Mrs. Ruan, Mrs. Zhang and others looking at her with worried faces, and the will-o'-the-wisp floating stubbornly above her head.
She walked under the high platform and then stopped.
She moved her hand in her sleeve, then took it out, flicking her thumb and index finger in Rongqing's direction.
Suddenly, a cluster of blue flames lit up on Rong Qing's head, and the palace maid and eunuch beside her immediately exclaimed: "Princess..."
Rongqing raised his head and backed away quickly in fear: "Impossible, impossible..."
However, no matter where she retreated, the flames kept chasing her.
Cheng Wanwan flicked his fingers again, and blue flames appeared on the heads of the palace attendants beside Rongqing.
She turned around, looked around the crowd, and looked at the ministers and wives who had just set the pace. She did the same thing, adding a cluster of flames above their heads.
The crowd was immediately in chaos, with exclamations everywhere.
Cheng Wanwan cupped his hands and looked at the two emperors and empresses on the high platform: "This blue flame is indeed a will-o'-the-wisp. It usually appears in cemeteries. The more graves it is, the more common it is. It is not a metaphysical thing. One night many years ago, When my wife went to visit her late husband's grave, she discovered this strange phenomenon. She didn't pay attention to it at first, but when a thief broke into the house at night and stole it, she used the will-o'-the-wisp to tease the thief. From then on, there was a strange phenomenon in my house. It’s much cleaner.”
In fact, will-o'-the-wisp is phosphorus fire.
After a person dies and is buried, a large amount of phosphine will be produced during the decomposition process of the body. Because phosphorus has a very low ignition point and can burn at around 40 degrees Celsius, after fully reacting with oxygen, it becomes what is commonly known as a will-o'-the-wisp.
Just now, Cheng Wanwan just bought a small amount of phosphine in the mall, put it on her fingernails and flicked it, causing the friction to generate heat, and it started to burn.
Then why do will-o'-the-wisps follow people? Because the will-o'-the-wisp is very light and will naturally move with it as long as the air flows. The visual impression given to people is that the will-o'-the-wisp will chase people, causing great fear in people.
The emperor looked surprised and uncertain: "What Mrs. Sui means is that you can control this will-o'-the-wisp?"
"It's not control, it's just fun." Cheng Wanwan raised his head and turned to look in the direction of the National Master, "The National Master is the most noble title of master in a country. Because of his extremely high cultivation level, he can observe the sky. He could do divination, pray for rain, and everything that ordinary people couldn't do. Therefore, the emperor gave the Imperial Preceptor a first-class official position and enjoyed the highest salary and honor in the Dayu Dynasty. However, he did not expect that on such an occasion, the Imperial Preceptor would use this To use a trick to give someone the name of evil star, does the emperor think highly of the imperial master, or does the imperial master think that the emperor is only qualified to use such low-level means to fool him?"
The Imperial Master's face was full of shock.
He looked at Cheng Wanwan with a little more fear in his eyes.
He thought that this was just an ignorant woman. After some manipulation by him, this woman would disappear from the capital...
But he never expected that this woman would break his technique.
"Bold witch!" The Imperial Master clasped his hands together and began to perform the seal, "See if I can't destroy you, witch, today."
"Supreme Jade King...Thirty-six Rulers..."
He muttered words, countless talismans burned, and the peach wood sword went straight towards Cheng's crooked eyebrows.
The four or five little Taoist priests he brought surrounded Cheng Wanwan. Each of them held an instrument in his hand, such as a sheng, a xun, a cymbal, or a suona. The combination of these musical sounds was like a magic sound that would disturb any normal sound. When people are besieged like this, they will collapse and go crazy, and then they will really be called "evil stars", "lonely souls" and "wild ghosts".
"It's so noisy." King Qin, who had been silent all the time, couldn't bear it anymore and rushed out, snatched the suona and smashed it to the ground, "So many people besieged a woman, it is a disgrace to our Dayu Dynasty!"
The Imperial Master raised his eyebrows coldly: "Please also ask the King of Qin not to undermine Wei Chen's practice..."
Cheng Wanwan smiled lightly and said: "May I ask the Imperial Master, how many benefits did Princess Rongqing promise you to make you work so tirelessly to deal with a woman like me?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone in the audience was shocked.
