Ming Shu destroyed the painting, which irritated the emperor very much. Add that to Ming Shu's offensive behavior in the royal study room last time, and the emperor was going to hold her accountable.
However, it seemed the master and the emperor had reached some kind of secret agreement, and Ming Shu wasn't punished by His Majesty in the end.
After three days in the dark room, Ming Shu was let out. The feeling of seeing food again was just wonderful.
But before she could enjoy the wonderful moment, the master, who no longer had his usual kind appearance, walked over with a serious look. "Leave us alone."
Zhi Qi and others looked at each other, worried and fearful, then quickly left, leaving the venue to Ming Shu and the master.
"Master, I have something to tell you."
Ming Shu spoke first, which made the master swallow back the words at the tip of his tongue.
"What is it?"
"When I was inside, I saw some images." Ming Shu told the master what she had predicted in the dark room.
The master glanced at her with a slightly complicated expression.
If she is not Shen Ci, why can she predict the future?
The power of prophecy was not accessible to everyone. The Wushang Dynasty had a large population, but only Shen Ci could...
Is it really me that thinks too much? Little Ci became so hard to understand because of recent events.
The master pressed down the question that he was going to ask Ming Shu, and said, "Other than this, was there anything else?"
Ming Shu shook her head. "No."
The master pondered for a moment. "Do you have any idea what it means?"
"..." If I knew that, do you think I would ask you? Ming Shu closed her mouth tightly and the corner of her lips lifted. "It's a war."
The scene was more like a war than anything else.
The master didn't say anything then. Ming Shu wondered whether he agreed with her or not.
He glanced at Ming Shu, sighing in his heart, and said, "If there's anything more, tell me right away."
Sometimes a prophecy is not presented all at once, but in several different visions.
"Okay."
"Oh, right." Ming Shu remembered a more important matter. "Master, I'm afraid there's probably a traitor in the Heavenly Temple. You have to investigate the buyao event of last time, Master."
The master's eyes darkened. "I know."
Then the master left, looking quite worried. Ming Shu held her chin and sighed.
She felt that the master had behaved a little bit strangely just now when listening to her prophecy.
...
Qi Hongwei disappeared without a trace. The emperor didn't capture anyone, and even though he angrily scolded a group of useless ministers, nothing got done.
Then these two matters came to a close, and the issue of selecting a wife for Mu Huai was put on the agenda again. Ming Shu heard that, all day long, the ministers were recommending others' daughters, praising them with the most beautiful words, but they didn't recommend their own daughters.
