Chapter 127 Immortal love, immortal tryst method(1/2)

However, everyone was quiet, and no one dared to come forward to try it out, fearing that his life would be lost if he was not careful, and it also touched the emperor's bad intentions and implicated the entire family.

The envoys of Dongli Kingdom smiled twice when they saw this awkward scene. The contempt in their eyes was so obvious, "It seems that there are no capable warriors in Liang State who are willing to try to open the agency. I heard that Liang State has many talents and is ahead of neighboring countries. It seems that they are just--"

The Empress Dowager's face immediately became very gloomy, and a dark light surged in her eyes. Before the emperor could express his opinion, her majestic voice sounded.

"Who said that no one in Liang State can open the sculpture mechanism? Lord Qian feels too good at self-righteousness. Those ministers and noble princes don't want to embarrass you, for fear of losing your face in Dongli State, so they didn't stand up."

Qian Qianjing still smiled contemptuously and casually. He said directly with excitement, "The Empress Dowager said this, but I don't believe it. After all, seeing is real and hearing is false. Some things are so scattered that no one personally stands up to prove it, and it can only be regarded as false."

He paused and continued, "Unless the Queen Mother can send someone to open the sculpture mechanism personally, all the envoys and guests present can be convinced."

The queen mother's chest was burning with rage, and her eyes circled around the guests attending the banquet, and a vicious thought immediately emerged in her mind, "Not to mention the young and promising ministers of Liang State, even the girls of Liang State can solve this problem in your Dongli State."

"Is that so? Then I'm looking forward to Liang Guo's wonderful performance, which will open my eyes." Qian Qianjing smiled expectantly.

After hearing what the Empress Dowager said, Xu Muqing felt a sudden thrill, and immediately had bad thoughts flashed by. Could it be what she thought?

However, before she could make a countermeasure, the empress dowager's finger had already pointed at her, "Xu Muqing, you are the number one talented woman in Liang State. Come up and open the mechanism of this sculpture and let the envoys of Dongli State see."

The emperor looked at the Queen Mother in disagreement and whispered, "Mother, you--"

The Empress Dowager immediately threw a sharp eyebrow over, "Emperor, this is a time when Liang State's strength and talents emerge. A girl's family can solve the rare problems of Dongli State, which means that the people in our country are much stronger than them, don't you?"

She was about to be driven crazy by Xiao Lie and Xiao Linye. Regardless of the fact that it was a welcome banquet for the envoys, the empress dowager had only one idea in her mind, and she would kill Xu Muqing and Xiao Linye, a pair of dogs who always had trouble with her at all costs.

Even if it was a slight chance, she would not let it go.

The emperor looked at her sharply and reproachfully, but the empress dowager was not afraid or retreat at all. If Xu Muqing could open the mechanism, she would be better off, a woman in Liang State could defeat the people of Dongli State, proud and arrogant.

If it fails, Xu Muqing will directly contact the mechanism and be killed by the venom in the sculpture. In this way, she can also solve the thorns in her eyes, and the anger in her heart will dissipate a little.

The Empress Dowager looked at Xu Muqing with a strong pressure, with a smile in her eyes, but the smile was not enough to reach her eyes.

"Xu Muqing, you won't refuse this opportunity to win glory for the country, right?"

She was so angry that she was about to bite her back teeth, but she didn't dare to show any signs of her face, "My daughter obeys the order."

Yang Yaoguang and Mu Yan were so nervous that they were in their throats. They pulled her sleeves worriedly and signaled her not to agree.

Xu Muqing smiled bitterly. The Empress Dowager openly attacked her in the Zichen Palace. It was impossible for her to escape. Even if she wanted to refuse to try to open the agency, the Empress Dowager would ask her to try it out for various reasons, and she could not escape.

Xiao Linye's hand holding the wine glass tightened, and the blue veins on the back of his hand surged. He suddenly raised his voice and said, "Empress Dowager, the emperor, Weichen is also very interested in this mechanism and wants to try to open the following, otherwise let Weichen give it a try first?"

He hated the Empress Dowager so much that he had already cursed the Empress Dowager several times.

Mu Qing is his favorite woman, how could he watch her in danger but remain indifferent?

The emperor was shocked when he saw Xiao Linye standing up. He defended Xu Muqing like this, for fear that she would suffer a little grievance and hurt. Is it really as the Queen Mother guessed that he really loved Xu Muqing?

Then his sick and broken body, which can die at any time, is it fake?

Xiao Linye is also ambitious and full of covetousness for his throne. Are he still attracting power?

In just a short time, the emperor had a thought of many twists and turns in his mind. His sense of crisis about Xiao Linye increased greatly, and his sense of defense increased uncontrollably.

"Crown Prince, you retreat first and let Xu Muqing try it first. Since the people of Dongli Kingdom want to see the true ability of Liang Kingdom, we can't let him down."

The emperor's eyes when he looked at Xiao Linye had become very cold, without any warmth, "What are you doing so worried about? I believe Xu Muqing will definitely not disappoint everyone."

Xiao Linye wanted to say something. Xu Muqing had already walked to the middle of Zichen Hall. Her voice was loud and full of confidence. "Please ask His Highness the Crown Prince to give me a chance to prove myself. My daughter is also very interested in the mechanism of this sculpture, and I really want to know what the rare treasures made by the skilled craftsmen in the Dongli Kingdom look like."

She glanced at Xiao Linye and told him not to do anything randomly. If it would be troublesome to make the emperor unhappy.

Qian Qianjing clapped his hands and smiled happily, "Okay, Liang Guo has many talents and talented people everywhere. Even a delicate girl has such a bright mind and courage. I really admire her."

Xu Muqing stared at him resentfully and silently complained in her heart, "Is she forced me too?" Who told Dongliguo to design such a perverted mechanism?"

Maybe she can't open the machine after trying, and tonight next year will be her death day.

Xiao Linye's body was tense, and his heart was hanging in the air. He couldn't help but clench his fists, really afraid that if the poison was spurted out, he could withstand the consequences.

Xu Muqing took the exquisite but complex works of art carved by the chicken blood stone and observed it carefully. She did not touch the carved flowers and plants with her hands, but just touched the base.

Her eyes passed by the young girls, birds, beasts, flowers and leaves.

At the beginning, she didn't see any clues. She silently pinched the position of her palm and told herself not to panic. Since it was a mechanism, there must be a solution and someone would be able to open it.

The Zichen Palace was quiet, and everyone's eyes fell on her, wanting to see what kind of storm she could make.

After Xu Muqing observed it twice, his eyes lit up and he found words engraved in the gaps in the carving. Those words were arithmetic problems that were very common in modern times.

Translated, it means that there are insects eating a certain number of flowers every day on a grass, and how many flowers grow in this grass every day.

These flowers are enough for fifty insects to eat for twenty days. If there are thirty insects to eat these flowers, how many days can they eat for a total of?

She boldly guessed that the answer to this arithmetic question is probably the key step to open the mechanism.

Xu Muqing quickly calculated the answer in her mind, and got a forty-two answer. Then she began to find the corresponding number on the sculpture.

This process took a lot of time, not only the envoys of Dongli, Nanyue, Xirong and Beidi were exhausted from patience.

"Girl, can you open the mechanism? If not, don't waste time. Wouldn't you give up directly? What's the use of watching here? Can you just watch the mechanism open?"

The envoys of the South Vietnamese Kingdom began to speak aggressively, "I want me to tell you, women have no ability, just hide at home and have children. This is impossible to solve."

The envoys of the Western Rong Kingdom also agreed, "That is, although they are the number one talented woman in Liang Kingdom, the design of the mechanism is not a piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, nor is it a pair of poems. It is a gimmick when she makes a little effort. How could she open it?"

The people from Beidi Kingdom also said in a small voice, "It's a pity that she is really overestimating her abilities. Since Dongli Kingdom has been untied for many years, what kind of tricks can she, a girl from Liang Kingdom, play with her unfilthy girl?"

Qian Qianjing listened to various doubts with satisfaction, and finally spoke, "Miss Xu, you have used two incense sticks. If you can't open it, then give in."

"Empress Dowager, although you Liang Kingdom have many smart people and many skilled craftsmen, this sculpture may not be able to be opened. This girl may disappoint you. Look at her forehead, and her hands are trembling too much, and she probably can't open it."

A young official next to Qian Qianjing, Beitangsong also showed his brilliance and continued to fan the flames, "Empress Dowager, let alone this girl, even the young masters of the Liang Kingdom, may not be able to open this agency. Is it that difficult to admit that no one can open it?"

The Empress Dowager smiled majestic and dignifiedly, "You are too impatient, you are not at the last moment yet, why did you decide that Xu Muqing is not good at all? Don't you see that she is about to start acting?"

She thought in her heart that it would be best if Xu Muqing couldn't open the machine. Let the poison kill her and completely disappear, and she would never appear in the palace to get her eyes hindered.

Ji Ran was separated by a table and said to Xu Yirong proudly and provocatively, "General Xu, your daughter may have capsized in the gutter this time. What do you think?"

Xu Yirong couldn't help but sit up straight, and secretly prayed in her heart that her daughter could overcome this difficulty and not encounter danger here.

Mu Qing is his and Yaoguang's favorite daughter. If there is any difference between her here and her faults, Yaoguang will definitely hate him when she returns, and maybe she will make a big fuss with him.

However, almost everyone present thought that Xu Muqing was dead. How could such a difficult mechanism be easily solved by her, a little girl?

Xiao Linye felt that his whole body was eroded by the bone-eroded coldness. A fine and dense cold sweat appeared on his back, and he wanted to rush forward to do everything for her.

He silently prayed in his heart to bless his beloved girl to overcome this difficulty smoothly, and he would be willing to reduce his lifespan by half.

At this moment, Xu Muqing took action and she quickly pressed three places on the sculpture.

Everyone calmed down again, stretched their necks to watch what happened next. Many of them had already imagined in their minds that Xu Muqing was poisoned by a highly poisoned mechanism and poisoned her to death.

However, there was only a slight click, and the sculpture fell from her hand and fell straight to the ground, as if a mysterious force touched it, all blooming and spreading out. The girl was cute and cute in the vividness, and the birds and beasts fell among the blooming flowers, either drinking water or eating grass.

Time almost stopped, Xu Muqing looked at the emperor calmly and showed a happy smile, "Emperor, my daughter has untied the mechanism of this sculpture."

The crowd was boiling, and all kinds of surprises and incredible sounds sounded in the middle of the palace.

"She actually turned on the mechanism and was not attacked by Venom. She is too powerful, right?"

"Are people from Liang Kingdom really that smart? It's really terrible that a teenage girl can solve such a problem."

Seeing that she had a face for Liang Guo and did not open the mechanism, the corner of her mouth couldn't help but curl up, "Xu Muqing, you did a good job, I will be rewarded."

"Empressions, especially Lord Qian, you can see that the girls of our Liang Kingdom can easily open the agency. Are you lucky?"

Qian Qianjing was as if he was slapped loudly in the face, and the pain was so severe that he looked as if he was ashen. He couldn't believe that the rare treasure was easily taken away by Liang State.

However, the King of Dongli Kingdom had no way to take back what he said before, so he could only swallow it. He struggled to squeeze out a few words from his teeth.

"The State of Liang is worthy of being the richest and most powerful country. Even a girl is so powerful, and I admire you very much. Then this bloodstone sculpture will be presented to Emperor Liang on behalf of Emperor Liang. I wish Emperor Liang's wishes come true, and he will become younger and never have any worries."

The queen mother's eyes were almost spitting out of fire. She couldn't believe that Xu Muqing was so powerful that she could even open the treasure of Dongli Country without being hurt. She was so angry that she was about to vomit blood.

Why didn’t Xu Muqing die? Why did God favor her so much that she could live for so long?

There was a clear smile in Xiao Linye's eyes, and the feeling of pride couldn't help but rise. The girl he loved was indeed extraordinary, and he could always create a lot of surprises for him inadvertently.

Xu Muqing said generously, "I thank you for the emperor for the reward."

She finally returned to her position. Yang Yaoguang was proud and happy, pulling her sleeve and saying excitedly, "Qing'er, you are so amazing. Mom didn't expect you to open such a dangerous mechanism. I was so scared that my heart was about to jump out. Do you know?"

Mu Yan also smiled so hard that her eyes turned into crescent moons. She whispered in her ear, "Sister, you performed so wonderfully just now. You really slapped those envoys in the face. Who dares to look down on women? Sister, you are smart, beautiful, talented and gentle. I almost love you to death."

She was also envious of her sister. She really couldn't understand. She was born to the same parents. Why was she so simple and so stupid?

In the words of my sister, she is just a silly white sweet, but she doesn't want to be a silly white sweet, and she also wants to be a very powerful person like her sister.

Xu Muqing said to Yang Yaoguang and Mu Yan with embarrassment, "I was also hit by accident. I was almost scared to death just now. I was really afraid that the venom would spray on my body, disfigure me and blind my eyes. Then I really don't know what to do."

The person who created that exquisite sculpture should be a fellow villager who came from modern times, otherwise how could he have created a mechanism to use the answers to arithmetic questions to make passwords? It would be so perverted.

She covered her heart in shock. Fortunately, she was lucky, otherwise she might have died here.

The Empress Dowager was angry and anxious, glaring at Xiao Lince with resentment and anger, and hating Concubine Shu in her heart.

Why is Ce'er incompatible with Xu Muqing's horoscope? Why can't she have a day earlier or a day later?

If Xu Muqing could marry Ce'er, how much trouble they could save now would never be so suspicious of the emperor as they are now, and they would never dare to act rashly before they are absolutely sure.

After Xu Muqing accidentally showed how many talents the Liang State had emerged, the envoys from several countries dared not look down on Liang State so much and dared not make things difficult for them.
