Princess Fortune

Chapter 208 Murder

The empress dowager's face changed like this, and it seemed that everyone around her was icy cold.

It makes people feel chills.

Aunt Qingyan and the palace maid Xunfang beside them also knelt down involuntarily, not daring to look up at all.

Xu Tang's heart trembled too, and he almost followed the crowd and got up and knelt down.

At any rate, he did not lose his composure.

Xu Tang still looked at the Empress Dowager with the same smile, "Why should the Empress Dowager be furious?"

"It's just what these eyes see. The Empress Dowager's luck is strong, whether it's Your Majesty or the Third Young Master, in front of the Empress Dowager's luck, it's just... the stars and the moon competing with the sun."

These words are even bolder.

At this moment, the Queen Mother's face was even slightly distorted.

The Empress Dowager glared at Xu Tang angrily, with the corners of her lips tightly pursed, looking fierce and sharp.

"Your words... are outrageous."

The Queen Mother's tone was cold, she stood up, and looked down at Xu Tang: "Master Miaojin doesn't want to live anymore!"

With such words, it is not too much to pull them out!
Punishment, what a pity!

Xu Tang sighed softly: "If the queen mother wants to kill me, I dare not argue."

It turned out to be a detached appearance.

Seeing her like this, the Empress Dowager smiled angrily: "What a master outside the world, he puts life and death aside."

Xu Tang was still calm: "This is fate."

The Queen Mother believes in life.If the Empress Dowager didn't believe it, she would naturally not pay much attention to Xu Tang, let alone respect the eminent monks of Buddhism and Taoism so much.

The queen mother said nothing more.

But this kind of quietness is so mysterious that it makes people feel even more uneasy.

Xu Tang picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, and took another sip of the plate of pastries that the Empress Dowager had used before.

If you really want to die, you have to be a dead ghost.

The queen mother saw her sitting there quietly eating snacks and drinking tea, her irritable mood was so unpleasant that she gradually calmed down.

The Empress Dowager glanced at Aunt Qingyan and Xunfang: "Retire."

This is something to ask separately.

Xu Tang breathed a sigh of relief, but then his heart became more tense.

The next step is life or death, depending on what the Queen Mother asked and what she answered.

When there were only the two of them left in the room, Xu Tang heard the Empress Dowager ask softly, helplessly, and with a little anxiety: "It's because the Ai family's luck is too strong, so that Your Majesty—"

The Empress Dowager couldn't say the last few words.

This kind of difficulty, on the contrary, makes people pry into a bit of fragility.

The vulnerability of a mother.

Xu Tang actually didn't know, but the queen mother at this moment made people feel a little pity.But in the end, she just shook her head: "I don't know. But I think fate is born."

The queen mother did not speak for a long time.

"If the Ai family is willing to give up their luck and give it all to His Majesty, then His Majesty—"

Xu Tang shook his head: "The Empress Dowager forgot, I can only read it, but not change it. I don't have that ability."

The Queen Mother closed her eyes quickly.

Xu Tang clearly saw two drops of crystal clear tears rolling down from the corners of the Empress Dowager's eyes.

Finally, it fell heavily, crashed into the plush Persian carpet on the ground, and disappeared.

Xu Tang's heart suddenly felt a little heavy.

When the mother opened her eyes again, those emotions before were gone.

Even if the question was asked, it had nothing to do with the previous topic: "Then tell me, how is King Yan's luck? How is it compared to your third young master?"

Xu Tang shook his head: "It can't be compared, the difference is not too much - so I can't tell."

"Then you will stay overnight in the palace today. Tomorrow, your third young master will have a blood test, so you can help Ai's family to see who has the best luck!" When the queen mother said this, she suddenly laughed.

"Who said this world is not the world of the Li family?"

Isn't the emperor still surnamed Li?

Not only is the current emperor surnamed Li, but the future emperor will also be surnamed Li.

The Empress Dowager's smile fell in Xu Tang's eyes, and he felt it was strange.

It's really... an indescribable feeling.

However, the queen mother's words detained Xu Tang in the palace.

Xu Tang responded, not daring to refute in the slightest.

"But before that, Aijia needs you to swear a poisonous oath." The Queen Mother looked at Xu Tang, still smiling: "Otherwise, how can Aijia guarantee that you will not lie?"

Xu Tang's heart beat like a drum, but he could only act as if nothing had happened: "I don't know what poisonous oath the Empress Dowager wants me to swear?"

The queen mother smiled slightly: "If you lie, then you will not be able to practice Dzogchen in this life."

After hearing this, Xu Tang breathed a sigh of relief.

What does it matter?

Xu Tang was not a serious practitioner of Taoism, let alone seeking Dzogchen.

Xu Tang finished the oath without changing his expression, feeling that he had escaped a catastrophe.

But the Empress Dowager seemed still worried, and said again: "If you lie, you will lose your eyes."

Xu Tang's heart trembled slightly, and he took a deep breath: "If I lie, I will lose my eyesight, and I will no longer be able to see people's fate!"

When Xu Tang said it to the end, he seemed to be a little sharp.

"The Queen Mother should be satisfied now?"

The Empress Dowager smiled gently and dignifiedly, as if showing a bit of pity: "The Ai family is so cautious, and puts all their energy into thinking, it is also for the eternal foundation of our Daxuan Dynasty, thousands of miles of land!"

"So, Master Miaojin should forgive Aijia."

The queen mother's reason is really high-sounding.

Xu Tang listened, feeling even more strange in his heart.

Do people like to find such a high-sounding reason when they do such shameless things?
To make my conscience feel better?
However, the queen mother is not only high-sounding, but also likes to make things difficult for others.

Xu Tang felt uncomfortable now, but the Empress Dowager said, "Today is a rare free time, so Master Miao Jin can drink tea with me."

Don't even think about it, how can Xu Tang have the heart to drink tea now?
Xu Tang didn't want to drink it, but he still wanted to pick up the tea and take a sip slowly: "The taste of the tea is a bit weak."

The Empress Dowager smiled: "If so, just change to another tea."

Xu Tang lowered his eyes: "Thank you, Queen Mother."

After a pause, Xu Tang glanced at Aunt Qingyan: "Please ask Auntie to go to my house and say that I won't go, and tell my maidservant not to wait for the door."

Xu Tang's order was so natural that Aunt Qingyan didn't even react: "Yes."

After she agreed, she thought: I am a member of the Empress Dowager, why should I listen to Master Miaojin?
Then quietly glanced at the queen mother, seeing that the queen mother was not unhappy, Aunt Qingyan left.

Of course, what Xu Tang informed was not Chun Xue, but Ye Qingshi.

Ye Qingshi was still waiting outside the palace.

The queen mother smiled, and suddenly asked: "Speaking of which, there is a problem with the Ai family. Although Master Miaojin has become a monk, I don't know if he can get married?"

Xu Tang was drinking tea, when he heard such a question suddenly, he choked up.

This……

Xu Tang reacted like this, as if pleasing the Empress Dowager, who watched with great interest and smiled.

Xu Tang took a long time to recover, and thought about it: "It is impossible. Although I am a leader in cultivation, I am also a practitioner after all. Besides, I wholeheartedly serve Master, and I don't want to marry anyone."

No matter what the queen mother's purpose is for asking this question, in short, it is right to simply refuse!
