Chapter 4
Chapter 4 — Pawn Shop Changes Destiny
The emperor imprisoned him in Tong Nhan Palace, abolished his status as a prince, and became a commoner. The sixth prince could not accept the loss of all glory and honor. His spirit completely collapsed. On the way to be escorted to Tong Nhan palace, he suddenly went crazy, rushed into the palace gate and died. Everyone feels that these things are too strange. Rumors quickly appeared among the people that the Sixth Prince must have pawned something at Thien Linh pawn shop. The news quickly spread to the emperor's ears. Someone reported that the day the Sixth Prince arrived at the Prime Minister's Palace, the owner of the pawn shop Thien Linh was also present. The sixth prince pledged his power to succeed the Queen Mother. The emperor was angry and immediately summoned Co Minh to the palace. Co Minh understood very well the king's anger. If it is admitted that the transaction was completed in the Prime Minister's Palace, the entire Prime Minister's Palace will certainly have to be buried with the Sixth Prince. Moreover, he still had his own feelings so he deliberately hid the truth.
“The Prime Minister doesn't dare to admit it, or does he have other plans in mind?”
Co Minh's eyes wavered slightly.
"Your Majesty, I'm scared. I really don't dare to march."
The emperor looked down from above. There was no longer any sadness in his eyes for losing his beloved son.
“Regardless of whether the rumors are true or false, I must have that Thien Linh pawn shop.”
“I order you to handle this matter immediately.”
“Bring someone to the palace for me.”
“I want to collect all the mystical powers in the world, making everyone serve me.”
Co Minh knelt in the middle of the main hall, his hands clasped tightly.
“The old man obeyed.”
7 But as soon as I left the palace, Co Minh immediately sent someone to send me a message, telling me to quickly leave the capital to avoid storms. I don't pay attention. I just stood and looked towards Medicine Linh Coc. Mother. Finally, the wind from the royal court arose. This time, I want blood to stain the palace. I knocked on the door of the Prime Minister's residence. Seeing me, Co Minh was extremely surprised.
"Miss Linh, why haven't you left yet?"
I coldly replied:
"Thank you for the good intentions of the late Prime Minister, but there is no need."
“Take me to the palace.”
He also wanted to advise. I glanced at him then turned around.
“No need to say more.”
“Even if you don't take me to the palace, I still have a way to go in on my own.”
"Prime Minister, I'm just giving you a chance to make merit in front of His Majesty."
Co Minh frowned at me and gritted his teeth.
“Okay.”
“But when you go to the main hall, you absolutely must not talk nonsense.”
I was taken to the royal palace by Co Minh. In the main hall, civil and military officials were all present. As soon as I entered, I could smell the aura of ancient medicinal spirits on their bodies. Everyone has abundant vitality and bright spirit. The fragrance of medicinal herbs lingers throughout the main hall. The ringleader who ordered the massacre of Duoc Linh Coc was sitting high up. He looked down coldly, his expression majestic.
"You are Miss Linh Co, the owner of Thien Linh pawn shop?"
“I heard that your shop can pledge three types of items to keep your destiny.”
“But no matter how I look at it, I feel that your bravery does not stop there.”
I curled my lips slightly.
“Your Majesty is too talkative.”
“Women are neither gods nor fairies.”
“Only lucky enough to practice on the fairy mountain, worship Entering a master's door, receiving guidance from a master, learning a little bit of Dharma to help people solve difficulties."
I raised my head and looked straight at him.
“I wonder if Your Majesty summoned the women here to pledge something to keep their fate?”
The human emperor knocked three times on the table, looking thoughtful. The change in his face makes us understand the calculation in his heart. That unintentionally helped us a great deal.
“It's not destiny.”
“It is the transfer of life.”
As soon as these words were uttered, the entire court immediately stirred.
“Who do you want to transfer your life to?”
“Who else do you want to take away their lifespan?”
They still don't realize that the emperor wants to take away their lifespan. I smiled softly.
“If Your Majesty has a plan, the women will naturally go all out.”
The emperor looked down expectantly at his courtiers.
“My dear friends, who will be first?”
At this point, everyone understood that the emperor wanted to take their lives. Everyone immediately panicked, their faces turned pale. They simultaneously knelt in the middle of the main hall, begging the king to spare their lives.
“Your Majesty, if you want me to die, I cannot help but die.”
“But the story about changing lifespans is completely baseless talk.”
“It must be this demon girl who uses her magical words to charm people's hearts!”
The royal historian stepped out of the line. I coldly walked in front of him.
“Your Majesty said I use demonic words to seduce people.”
“But that day, when half of your life was taken by assassins, it was your wife who came to beg me.”
“She forced your concubine to transfer your lifespan to you, so you could prolong your life until today.”
“Have you forgotten, sir?”
I intentionally spoke loudly so the emperor could hear. Sure enough, as soon as the emperor heard it, he became angry. He originally believed that the royal historian was loyal and patriotic, and was willing to risk life and death for him. He believes that those vows are true. He does not allow his subjects to be disloyal or deceive. Nor do we allow anyone to challenge the majesty of the Son of Heaven.
“I am the son of heaven, of course I must have a lifespan that is as long as heaven and earth.”
“You are all my subjects, you should be expressing my condolences.”
“If you continue to refuse, I will make your entire family disappear with you.”
In order to have a thousand years of life, the emperor completely disregarded everything. Officials naturally understand how to choose between themselves and their family. They knelt on the ground in fear, no one dared to speak up. The Emperor looked at me.
“Miss Linh Co, everyone no longer has any objections.”
“Life transfer can be performed immediately.”
