"Royal Princess, do you have anything to say?" The emperor looked to his side, where Ming Shu was sitting and eating desserts. How did she become so obsessed with food?
Ming Shu was biting on a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, and she murmured an ambiguous "Well," shoving the whole cake into her mouth and swallowing. After finishing that, she slowly answered: "I have nothing to say. I did it."
The emperor frowned. "Why did you do that?"
His tone was obviously a bit unhappy.
He was the emperor, but she bullied his daughter for no reason, so was she provoking him? Was this her revenge for how he had pressured her yesterday and today?
If Ming Shu knew what was going on in the emperor's mind, she would have laughed.
She didn't think so much, okay? It was just for gaining Hatred Points. Don't direct the show by yourself.
Ming Shu began to talk irresponsibly. "Princess Rong Hua has been playing with fire recently, so I helped her get rid of some heat."
The emperor's eyes narrowed. "So it seems. Perhaps the royal princess can find a way to solve that?"
"Ah?" Now came Ming Shu's turn to be dumbstruck.
He really believed her when she was just making that up!
The fire that Ming Shu was talking about was the princess's violent temper, but the emperor understood it as a real, burning fire. Coincidentally, a few days ago, there was indeed a small fire disaster that occurred in Princess Rong Hua's palace.
Due to the existence of the Heavenly Temple, the emperor believed in Feng Shui and metaphysics very much.
And a prophet had the most complete education in the Heavenly Temple. So from the viewpoint of the emperor, it was not surprising for Ming Shu to do anything like fortunetelling. That was why he believed her and asked more.
Ming Shu straightened her back "seriously," a fist against her lips. "Princess Rong Hua shall be soaked in the pond for two hours everyday, for forty-nine days, then the excessive internal heat will be removed."
"What?" Princess Rong Hua was shocked. "Father, don't listen to her nonsense, she is deliberately humiliating me."
Soaking in the pond for two hours? Impossible! She must have said that deliberately to tease me.
Ming Shu racked her brains and continued the nonsense. "The pond is located in the soil, while both soil and water can inhibit fire."
Seemingly it sounded reasonable, but... really?
"Oh, right, Miss Cheng, you'd better do it with Princess Rong Hua," Ming Shu added, in a gentle tone.
"..." Cheng Jinyun simply couldn't understand whether Ming Shu was deliberately targeting her or if she was just tied up with Princess Rong Hua.
But then again, was the former royal princess like this?
It seems... not?
Was it my rebirth that changed other people's lives?
"Send the royal princess back to the Heavenly Temple," the emperor ordered Li Gonggong next to him after a long silence.
"Father, do you really believe what she said?" Princess Rong Hua was not convinced. She wouldn't believe any word coming out of that woman's mouth!
Emperor turned to his daughter, with a meaningful look, and stopped her from saying anymore.
Ming Shu got up, patted her wrinkled clothes, then followed Li Gonggong to walk to the door. "Oh, I forgot."
