Chapter 211 - Chapter 211 - Wei Yuanwei is a demonFear appeared on the faces of everyone present as the Emperor shouted out, "Heavenly master, please eliminate that demon for Eastern Chu."
Heavenly Master Wu took out a stack of yellow talismans from her sleeve and sprinkled it into the air.
She suddenly felt a kind of gooseb.u.mps all over her body. She abruptly turned her head to see Wei Guanshu looking at her with a look of schadenfreude, but when Wei Guanshu"s and Wei Yuanwei"s gaze met, she was obviously a little startled. She immediately covered up her astonishment, and only faintly smiled at Wei Yuanwei.
The crowd suddenly exclaimed. It turned out that the wind had blown away the veil on Six Princess"s face, revealing her devastatingly beautiful appearance.
"Heavens, isn"t this Six Princess?"
"Doesn"t she have a devil"s face? How did she instantly become a beauty? Could it be that she met a demon?"
Everyone had yet to awaken from their shock when they heard Heavenly Master Wu shouting loudly. The peach wood sword was actually lit ablaze, a blue light flickered on the peach wood sword, and suddenly, Heavenly Master Wu threw the peach wood sword onto the altar. The peach wood sword actually flew towards Wei Yuanwei, and steadily landed three steps away from him.
Heavenly Master Wu walked to the emperor with a solemn expression and used a voice that everyone present could hear to say, "Your majesty, this evildoer is currently at the sacrificial ceremony, this subject has already sensed her existence."
Everyone looked at each other in fear, afraid that the evildoer Heavenly Master Wu was talking about was right beside them.
Wei Yuanwei"s face was still indifferent. She looked towards Yun Xie, only to see him give a slight nod of his head and Wei Yuanwei"s heart was at ease. As long as Yun Xie was able to settle everything here, she would not have to worry about anything.
"Heavenly Master Wu, feel free to speak." The Emperor looked solemn as he helped Heavenly Master Wu up.
Heavenly Master Wu"s eyes faintly fell on Wei Yuanwei"s body. "This evildoer"s fate is extremely hard, and she was born to be nullified by her mother, and can still safely grow up despite facing adversity. Furthermore, she possesses a unique ability, and has delicate hands that can move flowers and trees, but she is the bane of Eastern Chu.
Everyone had a face full of fear, their gazes suddenly shifting between Six Princess and Wei Yuanwei.
Wei Yuanwei laughed coldly in her heart, wasn"t the person Heavenly Master Wu was referring to herself. She was born with no mother, and was raised in a stable by Prime Minister Wei.
"Can Heavenly Master Wu help us find this demon?" The emperor said in a low voice.
"This subject shall do his best." Heavenly Master Wu squatted down and looked in the direction of the peach wood sword. He suddenly walked in front of Wei Yuanwei and sized him up.
He stretched out his wide sleeves, and a few swallows flew out from his sleeves. The swallows lingered on top of Wei Yuanwei"s head and did not leave for a long time.
Swallows were originally migratory birds that flew south, and it was not easy to see them at this time of year. He did not expect that they would actually hover on Wei Yuanwei"s body as if they were possessed by a devil.
In the eyes of the crowd, the scene before them explained everything. That beautiful, otherworldly, peach clothed woman had her lips curled up in the snow while the light and agile swallow lingered on her body. If she wasn"t a monster, then what was she?
"She"s This King"s w.a.n.gfei, how can she be a demon?" Yun Xie casually walked over and stood in front of Wei Yuanwei, blocking everyone"s line of sight.
"Whether he"s a monster or not, I"ll ask the heavens first." A strange smile appeared in Heavenly Master Wu"s eyes.
He picked up the peach wood sword on the floor and climbed onto the altar once more. He placed the sword upside down on the bronze cauldron, then placed his hands together as he muttered, "Old Lord Taishang, please enlighten this disciple."
His body suddenly spasmed, as if Old Lord Taishang had pushed him down. Just as Heavenly Master Wu was about to step down from the altar, his feet slipped and actually fell off the ten-meter-tall altar. The entire road was filled with blood, and everyone"s ears were filled with Heavenly Master Wu"s screams.
Everyone watched this scene in horror.
The emperor"s face revealed an astonished expression. It was clear that he did not know about this scheme and was not aware of it. He was after all a king, and after a short period of time, he regained his calm.
A few of the more daring eunuchs stepped forward to take a look, only to see Heavenly Master Wu covered in blood, her eyes not closed yet, filled with horror.
"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Master Wu is dead." The eunuch trembled in fear as he spoke.
Wei Guanshu tightly clenched her fingers inside her sleeve, a little worried. Heavenly Master Wu had unexpectedly died, so who was going to announce the final result? She looked at Prime Minister Yun.
Prime Minister Yun stepped forward and prostrated himself on the ground.
The emperor hurried to support him. "What do you mean by "beloved official"?"
"It is this old subject"s fault, it is this old subject who had a soft heart and allowed this evildoer to grow up, bringing disaster to my Eastern Chu. "When Miao Ge died that year, I had my suspicions. It was only because she was Miao Ge"s flesh and blood that she didn"t kill him. That"s why this day has happened." Prime Minister Yun"s wailing had already pointed the spearhead at Wei Yuanwei.
Wei Yuanwei sneered as she looked at Prime Minister Wei, at the grandfather who had personally pushed her in front of everyone. In his eyes, she was a b.a.s.t.a.r.d, an abandoned son, so he did not care about his own life.
"Prime Minister Yun, do not speak nonsense. The royal father shall decide everything." Yun Xie said coldly.
The emperor indifferently glanced at Yun Xie, and practically without thinking, he said, "My son, royal father also believes that the Side Consort Wei may not be a demon, but it is related to the fate of the Eastern Chu, so royal father has no choice but to be cautious. Come and lock Side Consort Wei up first, and wait for orders. "
"Your majesty the Emperor!" Prime Minister Wei shouted.
Wei Yuanwei suddenly understood why the Emperor and the Prime Minister Wei would choose to play tricks to put him under the t.i.tle of being a demon. If they couldn"t find a proper reason to arrest him, not to mention Yun Xie, even the officials would complain about it. None of the emperors were willing to leave a stain on their history.
Yun Xie was about to say something else, but he shook her head at him.
Although such a thing had happened, the ceremony still continued. Everyone followed the emperor to the temple on Heavenly Maiden Mountain to worship and enjoy a vegetarian lunch there.
Wei Yuanwei was locked in the temple"s woodshed. In everyone"s eyes, she had fallen from being a high and mighty princess to a lowly prisoner, so no one would pity and sympathize with her in the slightest. This was because she was a demon who seduced everyone and no one even brought her a cup of water to eat.
Wei Yuanwei decided to just lie down on the pile of firewood to rest. He felt a little tired after standing for half a day, and furthermore, she had to rest up to deal with the Wei Family jackals.
