Chapter 789 Cheng Lanqing's ability

Cheng Lanqing's suggestion was obvious, deliberately arousing Xue Mei's interest.

Xue Mei always reacted dullly.

"The concubine looks good, too." Xue Mei said, "but your highness is still confined. I don't know if the concubine is praising you or scolding you, so I didn't dare to say..."

Cheng Lanqing: “…”

Xue Mei felt that Cheng Lanqing wanted to do something big.

However, she still didn't know what was going on, so she had to wait and see what was going on.

It was the end of October, and Xue Chi finished the errands in Xiangcheng, and he and the fifth prince returned to the capital.

The court officials suggested that Xue Chi and the fifth prince assist in government affairs. After all, the emperor is old and the crown prince will help memorial review. Now that the prince is being confined, these two new prince candidates will be taken over.

Xue Mei: "Is Cheng Lanqing willing to fail like this?"

Cheng Lanqing was naturally unwilling to give up.

On the last day of October, Cheng Lanqing suddenly said that he had abdominal pain and asked the imperial physician to take the pulse.

After the imperial physician took the pulse, he said to Cheng Lanqing: "Congratulations to the concubine, this is a happy pulse."

However, as soon as the words were finished, a ray of light shone in from the window, and then the room was shining brightly. Then, the entire capital saw the rays of light in the east palace.

The emperor also saw it and sent someone to ask.

The news that Concubine Shi was pregnant spread like wildfire.

As soon as I saw pregnancy, I was born with a strange phenomenon, and this child was amazing.

The next day, several monks asked to see the emperor and said that yesterday's rays were auspicious signs.

Among these people, there is no Master Michen.

Xue Mei was stunned: "What is this operation?"

The weather was quite normal yesterday. Why did there be a ray of glow in the East Palace suddenly in the evening?

This is like the refraction of water.

It was like someone putting a huge mirror in the pool of the East Palace, and then turning on a strong light to create an artificial ray of light.

Xue Mei couldn't enter the Eastern Palace. She had only a lot of scientific knowledge, but she couldn't fight against counterfeiting.

It was not easy for the ancients to know this.

Besides, where did such a smooth mirror come from? Where did such a strong light come from?

In short, Cheng Lanqing successfully attracted attention from all parties.

The emperor originally wanted to confine the prince, but now he has issued an imperial edict to lift the confinement of the prince.

"This time, King Ji and King Zhuang have made contributions. You both go to the imperial study and share my worries with the prince." The emperor said.

Although he still wanted to give his two sons the hope of becoming the prince, he did not exclude the prince.

The court officials found this matter extremely strange.

Xue Mei was also curious and went to the palace to see the emperor and took the initiative to ask about this matter.

The emperor told Xue Mei: "Before the concubine of the Eastern Palace was found pregnant, I had two dreams in a row, dreaming of the sky full of rays in the East Palace. This is a good omen, and I am afraid I will have a good grandson."

Xue Mei: "..."

If the sunlight can be explained by science, it is hard to say that the emperor's dream is.

Of course, it must have bribed the people around the emperor and achieved it through some means.

Only then did Xue Mei dare to say that Cheng Lanqing's methods were actually quite good.

When he returned to Prince Zhuang's Mansion, Xue Mei told his elder brother about this.

The eldest brother came back from Xiangcheng and was resting at home. He was going to be busy tomorrow. Hearing Xue Mei's analysis, the eldest brother pondered for a long time.

Xue Mei smiled and said, "Your Majesty cares about the Holy Grandson. Cheng Lanqing took His Majesty's lifeline with this move. Brother, why don't you marry a wife and have a child? I'll give you a more arrogant vision and make sure to cause a sensation in the world."

Xue Chi: "..."

Because there were no children, Xue Chi could not win with Cheng Lanqing; and the children in the Fifth Prince's Mansion were all ordinary when they were born, and they could not create strange phenomena, so they naturally failed.

Xue Chi in turn comforted Xue Mei: "It's just a failure, don't be discouraged."

Xue Mei: "I just didn't expect it."

The information of Jiyanlou, Xue Chi's timely action, the empty granary in Xiangcheng is not as good as an artificial glow, and feudal superstition kills people.

She didn't get any advantage in this matter, so she was naturally unhappy.

However, things often have two sides.

Just when Xue Mei was unhappy about this, Master Michen took the initiative to find Xue Mei.

He told Xue Mei something: "My uncle passed away."

Xue Mei was stunned: "Sad to mourn."

Master Michen looked really sad, his eyes seemed to be covered with sadness, so thick that it could not be dissolved. The layer of golden thread on his cassock seemed to be dim.

"... I have read "Journey to the West" given by the Marquis for seven or eight times, and I have longed for it. I just don't know if the Marquis promised that day, will it still be fulfilled?" Mi Chen asked.

Xue Mei: "..."

A blessing in disguise.

But, why did he suddenly figure it out?

Xue Mei also asked her questions directly.

Master Mi Chen's expression was faint, but his emotions were still very depressed: "The favor I owe has been paid off. Miss Cheng is too ambitious. It is enough for my uncle to fill in his life alone."

Xue Mei: "..."

She felt that the most critical link had been solved.

"...Is Your Majesty's dream related to you and your uncle?" Xue Mei asked, "Did you do it or your uncle?"

"Uncle Master." Mi Chen said truthfully, "Some medicine powder, plus a few Buddhist verses, can make people have nightmares. It's just that medicine hurts others and hurts oneself. Uncle Master is old..."

Xue Mei: "You guys are very hard-working."

Michen: "…"

Rather than thinking about it, it is better to say that Michen plans to escape. Cheng Lanqing's broad road has to use a lot of bones as a roadbed.

Mi Chen had given up the Holy Monk's name and no longer believed in the language of God's destined Lord. Uncle Master was his only relative, and he was disheartened from then on.

He had never experienced that book "Journey to the West" before. He felt a lie and yearning for it. Moreover, Xue Mei also said that there are true scriptures on the other side of the ocean.

Michen wanted to find his own way and the Buddha in his heart.

Xue Mei was naturally willing to provide him with the opportunity to go to sea.

Xue Mei can provide him with sea routes, sea compass, and fleets that can go out to sea.

Michen expressed his gratitude.

Xue Mei asked him when he would set out, and he said the faster the better.

"Wait for my news." Xue Mei said, "The first stop is to go to the Malay Peninsula. The thing I want is called sweet potato. I will draw the drawings for you afterwards.

As for the Malay Peninsula, there are countless spices there, just in the ground, you can pick them yourself; there are silver mines on the island, which are easy to mine and can transport white silver back, this half cent.

There are bird’s nests on the island, just put them in a bag. Anyway, I have as much as I want. Give me all this stuff, and my medicine shop needs it.”

Michen: "…"

It turned out that Xue Mei had already made arrangements in her mind.

Xue Mei asked him to go to Yuan's house to ask for a fleet, a total of twenty ships that could go to sea.

The Yuan family told Xue Mei that their fleet that went to sea last time had not come back yet, so he asked Xue Mei to wait and talk about it when they came back.

Xue Mei doesn't need to wait.

"Just give me a boat." Xue Mei said.

In this way, Xue Mei finally successfully fooled Mi Chen away.

He will become his own tool for making money.
