Chapter 6 — Pawn Shop Changes Destiny

9 The Emperor quickly sent troops to the valleys near the capital, conducting a large-scale search. Do not allow anyone else to come near. The courtiers immediately panicked and took action silently. They were already on the brink of death. The emperor's blockade of the valleys was like cutting off their last way of life. Therefore, they secretly joined forces to rebel. On the second day, a team of soldiers searching the valley was killed by a group of black-shirted men. When the news came back, the emperor became angry. All over the world, there are people who dare to compete with him for the spirit girl. He must find those people and punish them to death. The emperor assigned this difficult case to Co Minh, ordering him to solve the case within two days. Of course Co Minh knew who caused those things. But he didn't dare say it. In the past, after Duoc Linh Coc was massacred, the emperor declared that everything in the coc belonged to the royal family. Only the emperor has the right to use it. The Emperor repeatedly warned that no one is allowed to take advantage of power for personal gain. Co Minh was afraid that those people would drag him into the water and reveal the secret transactions between the Prime Minister's Palace and the officials in the past. Therefore, after accepting the mission, he visited each person in turn and silently poisoned them. Not long after, those officials were all arrested. Even if they died, they still wanted to bury Co Minh with them, competing to reveal the past. But unexpectedly, everyone was speechless. At this point, they knew they had been poisoned by Co Minh. Faced with the group of people who dared to challenge his majesty, the emperor immediately issued an order to behead him. The old officials who had followed him for many years were all accused of treason and beheaded. But after those people were killed, among the people there was still no shortage of people who were not afraid of death and wanted to compete for the opportunity of eternal life. They stepped on the blades, openly challenging the royal authority. But in the end they were still suppressed by the soldiers. From then on, the emperor could rest assured to continue searching the valley, no one dared to compete with him. It's just suffering for the people around the area, the sounds of resentment echo everywhere. During the search, soldiers arbitrarily trampled the land and plundered people's property. The Emperor was completely unconcerned. He often summoned Co Minh to the palace. Co Minh was afraid every day of entering the palace, then was scolded and kicked out. For several days in a row, the search still made no progress. The Emperor decided to question me. He ordered Co Minh to take me to the palace. ## 10 That day, on the way to the palace, I saw a young man. He has a thin figure and delicate appearance; There was a faint bitter aura on his body. Unlike other princes, he did not carry a foul smell that made people disgusted. Before my eyes, several palace servants were bullying him at will. I walked over and chased them away. But Co Minh told me not to interfere in other people's affairs. This is just a prince who is not taken seriously. His mother came from a humble background. In the past, the emperor was drunk and suddenly favored her. After that, the emperor did not want to mention her, and even felt disgusted. Even this Tenth Prince also felt cold. But I just smiled softly. What a good seed. He has the appearance of a heavenly emperor born. This rotten country has finally found a suitable person to govern. I gave the young man a red thread. I told him that when he encounters a difficult problem that cannot be solved, he can burn this thread. At that time, a fairy will appear in his dream, pointing out and answering his doubts. After handing over the red thread, I went to meet the emperor. He is angry because he cannot find the spirit girl. Co Minh still warned me to keep my words down, saying that only he could protect me. After listening, I just laughed. Just a tiny ant. He should still protect himself first. The Emperor walked up to me and angrily shouted:

“I sent successive armies to search, but they all returned empty-handed.”

“Tell me, where is the goddess?”

“Or was all the news intentionally released by you, causing everyone to fight and shaking the court?”

Co Minh was so scared that he knelt down on the ground. He kept signaling for me to quickly kneel and follow. But in my eyes, the king's wrath is not worth mentioning. I was not afraid at all, calmly facing his oppressive eyes.

“Your Majesty, it's because the people you raise are too useless.”

As soon as the words came out, Co Minh's forehead was immediately filled with cold sweat. He looked at me.

“Miss Linh, stop talking.”

I lowered my eyes, the corners of my lips curled up like I was watching a play.

"Mr. Prime Minister, how about you tell His Majesty where the spirit girl is?"

Co Minh immediately choked up. I know he has investigated my identity. I also know for sure he won't tell the emperor. Because he himself wanted to achieve eternal life.
