The Reborn Girl Wants to Kill Me

Chapter 226 The King is Not Stupid 3

Taoist Mingzhen frowned.

She did see that he had the potential to be a wise ruler, so she took action.

Of course, it was she who secretly caused Ji Yanli to fall into a coma. After all, she needed to show her talents, and she had to have an opportunity. Since there was no opportunity, she would create it herself.

But now...

Taoist Mingzhen looked at the emperor and frowned even deeper. She found that she could not see through the king's fate.

"The Emperor is naturally a wise ruler."

After she said this, Ji Yanli sneered.

"Prince Yong'an, tell me, am I a wise ruler?"

Ji Tingyu was still kneeling in front of him, bending down and lowering his head. When he heard Ji Yanli ask him, he gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty is certainly a wise ruler."

Ji Yanli pointed to a few more ministers and, after receiving the same answer, nodded with satisfaction: "Since you all say so, then it should be."

"Since I ascended the throne, I have indeed been diligent in my work, caring for the people, and knowing how to employ people wisely. You are right to say that I am a wise ruler."

The ministers below lowered their heads even more. Ji Tingyu's lips twitched, and he lowered his eyes without saying a word. Taoist Mingzhen wanted to refute him, but since she was the one who said this first, she naturally couldn't go back on her word.

"Unfortunately, although I am a wise ruler, most of the people I can use are incompetent!"

Ji Yanli's tone was very serious, and the ministers below couldn't help but tremble again.

"Where is the Imperial Observatory?"

The director of the Imperial Observatory stepped out and said, "I am here."

"I want to ask you, with the heavy rains in the south and earthquakes in the northwest over the past six months, why didn't the Imperial Astronomical Observatory issue a warning?"

"This……"

Seeing Ji Yanli pick up the guard's sword again, the Imperial Observatory shuddered and cold sweat broke out instantly.

"Your Majesty, Taoist Mingzhen..."

"Master Mingzhen? Master Mingzhen is not very skilled in his craft and always only discovers things after the fact. You are also an idiot!"

"I won't kill you today. I'll put this head on your neck for now. If it happens again, you'll kill yourself."

The Imperial Observatory had just returned to its place, his body already soaked with sweat. He breathed a sigh of relief and felt very lucky.

"Minister of Rites."

Ji Yanli pointed at another person and said, "I asked you to arrange a place for Taoist Mingzhen to live. Where did you arrange it? That mansion is almost as big as my palace!"

He picked up something at hand and threw it at the Minister of Rites on the forehead. In an instant, blood gushed out.

"Those who know her think she is the real Taoist Ming Zhen, and those who don't know her think she is the woman I keep outside! It's a waste of money and manpower, and I have to bear the stigma for nothing!"

Ji Yanli was not talking nonsense. The mansion of Taoist Mingzhen was spacious and magnificent, with carved beams and painted pillars, and it was resplendent with gold and jade. Because of this, many people said that the original master was greedy for women.

Of course, the ministers dared to do this, on the one hand, to please Taoist Mingzhen, and on the other hand, it was also the result of the original body's indulgence. The original body was wrong, Ji Yanli did not deny it, but from now on, it would be impossible for Taoist Mingzhen to want a transcendent identity.

After Ji Yanli criticized all those who had secretly done good to Taoist Mingzhen a favor, Taoist Mingzhen could no longer bear it and immediately bowed and was about to leave.

Ji Yanli did not keep her and watched her leave with a flick of her sleeves.

"Your Majesty," Ji Tingyu couldn't help but say, "Master Mingzhen is truly capable. Your Majesty shouldn't have let her leave. She..."

"Oh? Then should I kill her?"

Ji Yanli thought for half a second. "You're right. She has some skills, and she would be a threat if she defected to the enemy. In that case, Commander of the Palace Front, quickly lead your men to kill Taoist Mingzhen. Don't leave her alive. Do what you can. If she escapes, there's no need to chase her."

"emperor!"

Ji Tingyu was confused. That was not what he meant.

Ji Yanli didn't wait for him to say anything else, kicked him and told him to get out.

The original body has been damaged. This body has been in pain for as long as Ji Yanli has been here. He needs to go back to the bedroom to repair this body first, otherwise he can't bear the pain every day.

After the court session ended, Ji Tingyu strode out quickly, hoping to stop them. However, when he reached the outside of the palace, he only saw the commander of the Palace Front Division who was about to return to report.

"How is she? Did you hurt her?"

"Your Highness, Taoist Mingzhen has already escaped."

Ji Tingyu breathed a sigh of relief.

"But don't worry, Your Highness. I shot her with my last arrow. Even if she doesn't die, she will be seriously injured."

However, the emperor ordered them not to pursue, so they returned to report.

Ji Tingyu couldn't catch his breath and started coughing.

He didn't have time to say anything more and hurriedly got on the carriage back to the mansion. When he entered the house, he saw Taoist Mingzhen with a pale face.

"Mingzhen!"

Ji Tingyu hurried over to check her injuries.

"Is it serious? Is the injury serious?"

Taoist Mingzhen pushed him away and sneered: "A bunch of ordinary people, you want to hurt me? You are just dreaming!"

The arrow almost hit her. If she hadn't had a way to save her life, she would have been seriously injured on the spot.

She took out the amulet that her master had given her before she went down the mountain. The cinnabar on it had darkened. If it was used twice more, the amulet would be useless.

This is a talisman specially made for her by the master. Unlike other talismans, this one not only protects her but can also transfer damage. Every time it transfers damage, the luck of the person who is injured for her will be reduced by one point, and this lost luck will be absorbed by the master.

It's a good deal for both the master and the disciple.

Taoist Mingzhen's eyes dimmed.

She came down the mountain this time to find a wise king, but more importantly, she wanted to obtain the king's luck.

Everything had been going smoothly, and Ji Yanli's imperial aura was beginning to weaken, which was when she would take action. But today, everything had changed. Not only could she no longer see through Ji Yanli's fate, nor could she feel the dragon energy that attracted her, and she couldn't deduce the reason for this change!

Taoist Mingzhen turned his gaze to Ji Tingyu, who was looking at her with concern.

Ji Tingyu is the emperor's younger brother, and he also has a faint dragon aura, but compared with Ji Yanli's, it is too weak and insignificant.

but……

Taoist Mingzhen thought of something and hurriedly grabbed Ji Tingyu's hand, placing his fingers on his pulse.

Today, Ji Tingyu took the pill with increased dosage and drank the rejuvenation dew. I'm afraid he has become addicted to it.

Ji Tingyu obviously thought of it as well, and his face became extremely ugly.

"Mingzhen, I only ate it once, it should be okay, right?"

"Damn it! When I pull him down from the throne, I will definitely make him taste this kind of humiliation."

Taoist Mingzhen didn't say anything, and Ji Tingyu became more nervous.

"What's the matter? Speak up."

He saw with his own eyes what happened to his royal brother after he ate that thing, and he, he didn't want to become like that.

Ji Tingyu couldn't help but shiver, and then he felt like there were thousands of worms crawling in his tendons and veins, which made him feel painful and itchy. His chest seemed to be on fire, and he was eager to do something to vent it.

"Mingzhen, please help me, help me, please, please!"
