Chapter 1750: Chapter 634: The Female Lead Who Was Reversed (Part 23)

"Great! Absolutely wonderful!"

The Emperor was elated upon hearing that his son had awakened.

Immediately, he caught onto the key point, "That Qingfeng, is he truly so formidable?" Even more miraculous than Master Hui Tong?

"Indeed, very formidable! His Taoist skills are exquisite, and he’s well-versed in talismans. Oh, by the way, the wife Prince Fu previously married among the common folk, Lady Xiao He, is his secular disciple. She learned the Face Reading Skill from him!"

Yong En was eager to demonstrate Qingfeng’s abilities and directly used He Yingying as an example.

"..." The Emperor’s expression turned somewhat unsightly.

He had already heard about the incident of Lady Xiao He scheming against Prince Fu from the Empress.

Ordinary families wouldn’t want their children to be manipulated, let alone the exalted monarch.

However, despite his displeasure, the matter of Lady Xiao He indeed indirectly proved Qingfeng’s capability.

Even a secular disciple, having learned a smattering from Qingfeng, could discern that the lost Xu Changsheng was a Noble.

This implies that as the master, Qingfeng must possess even greater Taoist skills.

"True Master Qingfeng can even Plant Beans into Soldiers and Create Rain Clouds!"

Seeing the Emperor’s attitude somewhat soften, Yong En continued to boast, "I once witnessed the True Master set up an altar to pray for rain..."

"Create Rain Clouds?!"

The Emperor was truly moved.

Due to Master Hui Tong’s talismans and magic artifacts, the Emperor knew that there indeed existed incredible magic in the world.

The extraordinary good fortune of Princess Liang further made the Emperor believe there was karma and reincarnation of the virtuous.

Thus, upon hearing Yong En speak of Planting Beans into Soldiers and Creating Rain Clouds, he not only didn’t find it absurd but was rather intrigued.

If Qingfeng could truly summon rain, then his current plight could be smoothly resolved.

Moreover, letting Qingfeng set up the altar for the magic ritual allowed the Emperor to either advance or retreat without being put on the spot, trapped in a dilemma!

"Very well! Let him try it!"

Having made a decision, the Emperor decisively issued an imperial decree.

True Master Qingfeng pretentiously selected an auspicious day and then set up an altar for the ritual in the front hall.

The Emperor did not attend in person but allowed the Crown Prince, Prince Fu, and several other princes and court officials to participate together.

In the fiery July, under the blazing sun, everyone stood on the bare ground without any shade, sweating profusely.

Their entire bodies seemed to have their hairs scorched, and they had the illusion of oil being roasted out of their skin.

The intense sunlight hitting the blue stone floor reflected a dazzling light that made people dizzy.

The young ones were better off, but the older officials were all dizzy and swaying.

Yet they all gritted their teeth and persevered.

Tsk, the Crown Prince’s leg injury had just healed, and wasn’t he standing at the front?

And several young princes, the youngest only five years old, their little faces were flushed red by the sun, yet they dared not move recklessly.

At the altar in the front, Qingfeng, wearing a magnificent Taoist robe, held a Thunderstruck Peach Wood Sword, performing the ritual with great flair.

The Crown Prince watched coldly, knowing that this person was brought by Consort Shu’s family.

If he truly had great abilities and successfully prayed for rain, Consort Shu’s faction would certainly thrive.

But as the Crown Prince and heir to the Dynasty, for the stability of the Capital City and the safety of the people, he also hoped for rain.

Oh, what a dilemma.

On the surface, the Crown Prince showed no emotion, but in his heart, he was conflicted.

Boom!

As Qingfeng tossed the self-igniting talisman into the air, a distant thunderclap resounded from afar.

The clouds swiftly gathered, forming a thick layer, covering the blazing sun!

"Thunder! It’s cloudy! It’s about to rain!"

"God has opened His eyes; is it really going to rain?"

"What do you mean God opened His eyes? Clearly, it’s True Master Qingfeng’s profound Taoist skills and his magic rain summoning!"

"...Is there really Ghosts and Gods in this world?"

Seeing this astonishing change, the court officials were all very surprised.

They didn’t dare to make loud noises, only quietly muttering softly.

Due to He Yingying’s prior "publicity," the people of the capital also knew that today the True Master from Qingfeng Temple went to the Imperial Palace to set up the altar to pray for rain!

Hence, countless citizens also stepped out of their houses, knelt on the roads, and prayed earnestly toward the direction of the Imperial Palace.

When they heard the sound of thunder and saw the gathering clouds in the sky, they all became excited, unanimously bowing with great effort.

Sitting on the second floor of a teahouse, He Yingying contentedly observed this scene.

She was indeed not wrong; Qingfeng was certainly a swindler, but he also had some real skills.
