Chapter 7
Chapter 7 — Pawn Shop Changes Destiny
11 During the massacre at Medicine Linh Coc that year, when Co Minh left, I was so angry that I burst into tears. He heard it. It's just that my mother used a barrier to seal me inside the spirit fruit, making it impossible for him to find me. The day I went to the palace to carry out his orders, he saw that my appearance somewhat resembled my mother's. In his heart, he already guessed seven or eight parts of my identity. He thought that I had inherited all my mother's powers and could help people achieve eternal life. That's why he wants to protect me. When the emperor dies, he will use my flesh and blood to make medicine to help himself achieve eternal life. Hearing my hint, the emperor's face immediately changed. He slowly looked at Co Minh. His eyes seemed poisoned, his face constantly changing.
"Prime Minister, do you know where the spirit girl is hiding?"
“Your Majesty, how could I know?”
"Miss Linh was just joking with me."
Co Minh repeatedly slammed his head on the ground. Looking at that appearance, I feel extremely interesting. I bent down to look at him.
“Your Majesty, it would be better if His Majesty gave you the task of finding the spirit girl.”
“After all, finding people is what you do best, isn't it?”
I smiled slightly. It used to be different. Currently, Co Minh is still tormented by the fear of death. Does he want to find a goddess to continue his destiny and achieve eternal life, or does he accept the risk of betraying his master? I think he already had the answer in his heart.
“Yes, this matter will be left to the Prime Minister to handle!”
When I reminded him, the emperor was immediately happy. He remembered what happened in the past, which was also done by Co Minh alone. No one is better suited to handle this than him. The Emperor strictly ordered:
“Prime Minister, I know you will not disappoint me.”
“Just like old times.”
"Spirit girl, you must definitely bring it back to me."
Co Minh did not dare to continue to refuse, for fear of making the emperor angry. He bowed his head vigorously, accepting the temptation. ## 12 As soon as he left the palace, Co Minh immediately vented his anger on me.
“Linh Co, why do you want to harm me?”
"I don't know anything about the spirit girl at all, where do you think I should go to find it?"
I stopped walking and calmly looked at him. Co Minh really knows how to pretend. Up to this point, he still refused to expose my identity. But if he wants to continue acting, I will also act with him until the end. I threw him a mocking look and turned to leave. ## 13 That night, I received a signal from the red thread that the Tenth Prince burned. Following the guidance of his breath, I entered his dream. In the dream, the bitter aura around his body became stronger. He didn't understand why some people were born strong. While he is a prince, he has to endure bullying from the palace servants. Even the only mother who treated him well, he could not protect. He hates himself for being weak. I hate myself for not being brave enough. I told him that those people were not born strong. It's just that someone created the conditions for them, and they had support behind them. I showed him a path. Everyone craves power. He can throw this bait down, luring the fish to take the bait himself. Borrow the power of others to escape the current situation. But people To be able to lead him out of this death situation, one must have enough strength. When I pointed it out, he immediately understood. The next morning, on Co Minh's way to the palace, the Tenth Prince knelt down in the middle of the road and stopped him.
“Your highness, please help me.”
“From now on, everything you want, I can give you.”
Co Minh stopped walking. The anger at being suddenly stopped by the Ten Princes gradually disappeared. He reached out his hand to help the Tenth Prince stand up, looking interested.
“What can you give me?”
"I am now in the position of Prime Minister."
“Whatever Your Majesty can give, I already have.”
“What is the sincerity of the Ten Princes?”
The Ten Princes' eyes were extremely determined.
“Power.”
“Later I will give you supreme power.”
“As long as the Prime Minister is willing to help me, support me.”
When Co Minh heard that, the corners of his lips couldn't help but curl up, unable to hide his joy. He patted the Tenth Prince's shoulder.
“Go back, Your Highness Ten.”
“The words His Highness said today, I have remembered.”
Not long after, Co Minh entered the palace to meet the emperor.
