After halfway through the luncheon, the eunuch close to the emperor hurried in and whispered a few words in the emperor's ear.

The emperor's appearance went from surprise to surprise.

"My mother, the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, came out of seclusion today and is now coming." The emperor told the empress dowager beside him.

"In this way, good things will come together. Please come quickly."

The abbot of Xiangguo Temple has a high status in Kyoto of the Celestial Empire. In the early years, he opened an altar to pray for rain for severe droughts. He also visited the riverside to curb floods, minimizing the losses of waterlogging.

In the last life, Man Yue also felt that Xiangguo Temple's abbot has great supernatural powers.

Now it seems that he only knows the astronomy and geography of Qimen Dunjia, and knows how to build momentum in Kyoto. He knows the great officials and nobles from Kyoto from many places. He spreads it to ten thousand and a hundred, and then spreads it to his magic. In addition, he knows medical skills. When the plague was rampant, he was willing to take out the most expensive medicinal materials that he had already hoarded to refine so-called immortal pills to cure diseases and save lives. He also gained a high reputation among the people for a time.

In fact, the abbot of Xiangguo Temple is just a lustful person who deliberately built himself into a sage and gathered prestige, but he just recognized money but not people.

"My dear friends, the abbot of Xiangguo Temple, had been in seclusion before and prayed for blessings for the Celestial Empire. Today I learned that Tianji came out of seclusion and brought Tianji treasure box to my prosperous era of the Celestial Empire."

After the emperor finished speaking, some court officials were polite and praised them, and some were rational, calm, neither humble nor arrogant.

The eyes of the full moon are hanging down. Although the eyes cannot see, the perception of the ears is sometimes more sensitive than the eyes. There is no need to see so many disguised faces, but they can get a seat with a clearer look through the voice.

The abbot of Xiangguo Temple came, as she expected.

In a moment, a long and low trumpet sounded outside the hall. Before the abbot of Xiangguo Temple arrived, he was full of momentum. The emperor and the empress dowager both looked up and looked at it.

The abbot of Xiangguo Temple walked slowly into the hall in a golden cassock, with a quiet face and a peaceful expression.

The two apprentices behind him stood on the left and right, their eyes lowered, and they remained silent.

"I have met the emperor and the queen mother."

The abbot of Xiangguo Temple was also the second rank of official worshipping him. After the salute, everyone's eyes were concentrated on the golden treasure box in his hand.

"Abbot, is this treasure box the Tianji treasure box you sent someone to send a letter?" The emperor asked him with interest.

"Back to the emperor, that's exactly."

The abbot of Xiangguo Temple spoke in a deep voice, then looked around, but his eyes deliberately ignored Lin Donghe. When his eyes swept across the moon, a murderous aura flashed through his eyes.

"Return to the emperor, Empress Dowager, this treasure box was prepared before me in seclusion, and I put a copy of the wordless heavenly book inside. The treasure box has always been sealed by my side. I pray for blessings for the heavenly dynasty. The treasure box has never been opened. Early this morning, I learned about the secrets of heaven and knew that the Heavenly Lord had written the heavenly calligraphy on the wordless heavenly book, and ordered me to open it in person in front of the emperor and the empress dowager to prosper the heavenly dynasty together."

The abbot said this, and the emperor and the empress dowager were naturally very helpful.

The abbot had used a similar method before, saying that the Heavenly Lord asked a dream to write a prophecy on the wordless heavenly book. Moreover, the abbot deliberately asked the emperor to send someone to guard the wordless heavenly book, proving that he had never opened it. Before that, the emperor put the wordless heavenly book in person, but when the emperor opened it again, the words were written on the heavenly book.

And what predicts when it rains and when it will happen will come true.

After this twice, the emperor and the empress dowager naturally looked at him with admiration and gradually believed what the abbot said about the dream of the Heavenly Lord.

This time, the abbot's old trick repeated.

Although the emperor did not send anyone to take care of the brocade box that opened the wordless heavenly book, he believed the words of the abbot. After all, it was a good thing for the Heavenly Dynasty every time, so he naturally believed it.

"Abbot, since that's the case, open it quickly!"

The emperor and the empress dowager both wanted to know quickly what was written in the wordless heavenly book this time?

"Return to the emperor, this time the Heavenly Lord has a dream that coincides with the wedding of the eighth prince and the fifth prince on the next month. Therefore, the person who opens the treasure box must also find it from the wedding. Because today is the yin time, the person who opens the treasure box must be a woman. However, the treasure box is full of yang energy. If an ordinary woman is difficult to suppress, she must be a pillar of the court, and the men are not as good as men!"

As the abbot finished speaking, almost everyone turned their eyes to the full moon.

If he is a princess, he will not be an official in the court, but the Moon of Moon agrees with this requirement, and the Moon of Moon is still the future five imperial concubines.

"Ningjing, do you smell any special smell?" Man Yue lowered her eyes and asked Ningjing in a low voice.

People with poor eyes will be particularly sensitive to hearing and smell.

"Miss, it seems - it emanates from you." Ning Jing was not sure, but since the abbot came in, she vaguely smelled of sulfur on the lady's body, which was very light. If the lady didn't remind her, she wouldn't be so sure.

"What color is the treasure box held by the abbot of Xiangguo Temple?" Man Yue asked Ning Jing coldly.

"gold."

"What color is the belt on my clothes?"

"It's also golden."

"Who sent my clothes today?" Man Yue asked in a lowered voice.

"The clothes the eldest lady entered the palace were always sent by the princess, and today - it was also sent by the maid from Mingshui Pavilion."

"Is it Qiao Qing?"

"No, it's another maid next to the princess. Qiao Qing went out to do business, so the princess arranged for someone else to send it." Ning Jing said so.

"Miss, are there any problems with the clothes?" Ning Jing asked Chunyue in confusion.

"It's okay, follow my instructions later." Man Yue in deep voice reminded Ning Jing and stopped talking.

Ning Jing nodded and observed the surrounding environment vigilantly.

At this time, the emperor and the empress dowager looked at each other, and a surprise flashed in their eyes.

"The abbot has not left the seclusion for a year, but he can say so accurately. There are indeed candidates for the abbot." The emperor nodded and looked at the full moon.

The abbot smiled slightly with a look of heaven's secrets.

"When I returned to the emperor, I always turned a blind eye to the outside world when I was in seclusion, and I only prayed for blessings for the Heavenly Kingdom. As for whether there is a suitable candidate, I don't know. It was completely arranged by the Heavenly Lord."

"The Heavenly Lord arranged the reason for freedom." The Empress Dowager also agreed.

"Linghu Manyue!" The Empress Dowager shouted the name of Manyue in a deep voice.

"I'm here."

The full moon, who had been silent, slowly got up.

Before, Ning Jing had already made a code word in her palm, and she remembered how many steps she should take.

"Today, you will open the treasure box of Tianji. This is the supreme honor for you to the Marquis of Linghu. The Ai family and the emperor regard you as their own family. Don't let the Ai family down."

The Queen Mother said something in a roundabout way.

Everyone heard it, some were jealous of the full moon, some were envious and extravagant.

"I am obeying the Queen Mother's decree."

The full moon is safely received.

"Grandma Huang, my grandson also wants to see this Tianji treasure box, so let grandson watch next to Linghu Manyue." Lin Dongyao suddenly spoke, as if he was curious to see the Tianji treasure box up close, but in fact he wanted to stand beside Manyue to protect her.

"Fifth Your Highness, your body has not yet recovered. This treasure box of heavenly secrets is a sacred thing. If it is not the person chosen by the Heavenly Lord, you can only see it from afar. I hope the fifth Highness will forgive you."

The abbot hurriedly persuaded Lin Dongyao, with a pious expression that made the emperor and the empress dowager believe in him.

"Dong Yao, this is a matter of glory. Just watch it." The emperor spoke in a deep voice and raised his hand to signal Lin Dongyao without saying much.

Lin Dongyao's face sank, and his pupils looked at the abbot coldly. A touch of cold air made the abbot feel like he was on his back.

The full moon had already arrived at the center of the hall by this time.

"Emperor, Empress Dowager, since the treasure box of heaven is a sacred object, a full moon ordinary person, to avoid defiling the sacred object, I also ask the emperor to order my ministers to fast and bathe immediately to show respect for the sacred object."

Man Yue spoke slowly. The emperor was about to nod, but heard the abbot stop him again.

"Your Majesty, this is not necessary. As the saying goes, sincerity will make you feel good. Moreover, I have calculated the time, and this is just right. If the time is delayed, I am afraid that the Heavenly Lord will take back the secret of heaven and will not be fulfilled."

When the abbot said this, the emperor and the empress dowager could not help but hesitate.

Full Moon frowned slightly and then slowly relaxed...

The so-called "wordless heavenly book" is just a pretentious and mysterious thing. The handwriting on it will fade after a period of time. It is said that the secret of heaven cannot be revealed, but it is a fraud.

"Linghu Manyue, let's do it according to the abbot's intention." Although the empress dowager believed that the full moon should indeed fast and bathe, since the abbot said it, the empress dowager would believe him.

"Yes, the Queen Mother."

The Moon still had a slow tone.

A trace of joy flashed in the abbot's eyes.

As long as Linghu Manyue takes over this Tianji treasure box, his mission today will be completed! Once the phosphorus powder and black gunpowder on this Tianji treasure box come into contact with the sulfur smoked on Linghu Manyue's clothes, it will inevitably burn a raging fire. At that time, Linghu Manyue will be buried in the sea of ​​fire!

And he could take the opportunity to say that Linghu Manyue angered the Heavenly Lord. Only the evil spirits would be burned by the fire because of their deep sins. He could also regard himself as the savior of the Five Highness! Angered the Heavenly Lord, burst out of the heavenly fire, burning his body, and dispersing the evil spirits! This is a legend that has been circulated in the Kyoto of the Heavenly Kingdom for many years. According to legend, if someone suddenly gets burned by the fire of the unknown, it will be the evil spirits that anger God. God punishes him to protect others.

The sulfur stained on Linghu Manyue's body is not ordinary sulfur. It is a medicinal material specially refined. If it were not for close contact with black gunpowder and phosphorus powder, the smell of sulfur would not be emitted.

This is also the reason why the full moon could not smell the scent of sulfur before.

It is unlikely that there will be black gunpowder and phosphorus powder in the Hou Mansion. Even if there is, before Qiu Jixuan takes action in secret, she will remove these things early.

Lin Donghe kept Qiu Jixuan in the Hou's Mansion to facilitate his inner support.

Qiu Jixuan has never given up on marrying Linghu Hongxi, and Pang Rui's emphasis and concern for Linghu Manyue is the biggest reason why Qiu Jixuan is dissatisfied with Linghu Manyue.

As the Monkey Moon was about to take over the Tianji treasure box, just three tacit approvals were required. The black gunpowder and phosphorus powder hidden at the bottom of the Tianji treasure box would contact the sulfur in the air. The clothes Linghu Manyue was wearing had been stained with sulfur before, which would ignite a fire and burn her to death.
