The street, which had just been drenched in heavy rain, was muddy. At this time, the streets of the Kingdom of Qi were full of onlookers.
"Hey, don't you think that Second Miss, the legitimate daughter of General Wu's family, was destined to be the phoenix girl? Why did she become a monster?"
"Are you stupid? Didn't you hear what Master Ban Lu said? We are all wrong. The second daughter of the Wu General's family is not a phoenix girl at all. The real phoenix girl is the eldest daughter of the Wu family."
"I said, lower your voice. Do you want to die? What legitimate daughter Second Miss? That little fool has long been demoted to a concubine's daughter. Now the legitimate daughter in the General's Mansion is First Miss."
While everyone was discussing, a middle-aged man wearing a yellow robe with a Tai Chi pattern suddenly waved his arm at the crowd. As his arm fell, the noisy crowd quieted down in an instant.
After the crowd quieted down, General Wu Zhen Steel, who had just been discussed, took a few steps forward and walked to the side of the yellow-robed man. Although his face was full of Xiao Su, his tone was more polite. "Master Ban Lu, everything is ready."
"Yes." Master Ban Lu nodded and raised the compass in his hand. "I would like to ask you, General Wu, to tie that monster up and take advantage of the fact that there are seven stars in the sky. After that monster is burned, his soul will definitely be destroyed and he will no longer harm the world."
Wu Zhen Gang waved to the servant behind him and said, "Go and pull that monster out."
His tone was dignified and his face was calm. If it weren't for those who knew the truth, they wouldn't have been able to tell that the demon that was about to be burned to death at this moment was his own daughter.
As the manservants dragged her, Wu Qingyan, who was tied up, was pulled out. Her eyes were full of panic. She looked around timidly and timidly. "Mother! Mother, where are you? I'm afraid..."
Mrs. Xu, who was standing at the corner, could do nothing but cover her mouth and cry when she saw that her own daughter was about to be burned to death by her husband.
She also wanted to stop him, but she didn't dare. She had been demoted from a legal wife to a concubine by her husband. Now she couldn't even protect herself, so how could she dare to step forward and make trouble?
The couple, who had been following Wu Qingyan, didn't want to get involved when they saw that Miss was beaten. They gritted their teeth and rushed into the crowd.
"Old Sir! Please let go of Second Miss. She was wronged. She is not a demon at all. She is the Second Miss of the Martial House. She is your daughter!"
"How dare you!" Wu Zhen steel was furious and kicked the little girl to the ground. "If you dare to call that monster Second Miss again, I will burn you as well."
The little girl was shocked by the roar, but after she gritted her teeth and got up from the ground, she hugged Wu Zhen Steel's legs again and cried so hard that she was already in tears. "Master, Miss fell off her feet from the attic and broke her head. She is already poor enough, but why does she still need to burn it now?"
Master Ban Lu, who was standing beside Wu Zhen steel, seemed to be very anxious. Seeing that the little girl was blocking his way, he couldn't help but say impatiently, "I won't argue with you today because of your little girl's ignorance, but she..." As he spoke, he pointed to the Second Miss of the Wu family who was still smirking. "If she was really the phoenix girl, she would be unscathed even if she fell from the sky, let alone falling from the attic. Now I have figured out that she is born with a natural charm. If she really stayed, the whole family would be affected, or the whole Qi Empire would be killed by her."
"You, you are talking nonsense!" Double Happiness was so angry that his eyes turned red. He raised his arm to the Taoist priest and said, "I'll kill you, you damn Taoist priest! I'll kill you!"
Master Banlu didn't expect that the little girl would really hit him. He didn't notice that her cheek was scratched, and the burning pain immediately made him lose his patience. In the blink of an eye, he said to Wu Zhen steel, "Have you seen it, General Wu? This is the power of that monster. People around her will be fascinated by her. Now this little girl is the best proof."
Seeing this, Wu Zhen steel did not hesitate. He kicked the pair of joy away two meters away, stepped forward, pulled his silly daughter by her hands, and strode toward the bonfire.
Wu Qingyan was trembling with fear. Although she was stunned, she still felt the danger. She couldn't help shaking her head desperately. "Let me go! Dad, let me go! It hurts, hurts! Mom, where are you? Come and take me home!"
When Mrs. Xu heard Wu Qingyan's panicked voice, she couldn't help crying in a low voice again. "Yan'er, I'm sorry..."
In the face of Wu Zhen steel's cruelty, the Second Miss of the Wu family was put on a bonfire by people. Just as the torch was about to light up the firewood, a loud cry suddenly came from the end of the street.
"The Third Prince's carriage passed by here. Who is so bold to block it here?"
This shout spread along the end of the street to the street. Wu Zhen Steel was stunned and quickly pushed away the crowd and walked to the end of the street first.
As the onlookers retreated, a very eye-catching carriage appeared in everyone's eyes.
In the Qi Empire, there were rules and explanations for every official's carriage. What rank was the official's carriage? Not to mention the small leaves and rosewood around the carriage, just the luminous pearl on the roof of the shed alone was enough to shock the world.
The guard who had been shouting just now saw Wu Zhen Steel walking over with sweat all over his head. He smiled and said, "So General Wu is also here."
Wu Zhenwu folded his fists politely and bowed to the carriage in the blink of an eye. "Greetings, Third Prince. I'm Wu Zhen Steel."
Wu Zhen Steel's voice fell along with his bent waist, but there was no movement from the people in the carriage. For a moment, the whole street was silent, and even a drop of a needle could be heard clearly.
There were four princes and one crown prince in the Qi Empire. Except for the crown prince, among the four princes, the emperor doted on the Third Prince the most. Moreover, although the Third Prince seldom showed up in public, his temper was unpredictable. It was said that he had died miserably because he could not figure out the Third Prince's temper.
As time went by, the carriage with the door closed finally let out a low sigh. "General Wu, get up."
The voice was like flowing water, piercing one's heart and lungs. It also seemed to carry a little wine fragrance. However, it was enough to make one drunk thousands of miles away with only five words.
Wu Zhensteel finally straightened his aching waist and said with a smile, Today is the birthday of Consort Cheng. Why did the Third Prince come out of the palace?
"Ding..." After a light sound, Zhangsun Yueming, the Third Prince in the carriage, put down the teacup in his hand, and his faint words floated out of the carriage curtain again.
"My mother suddenly felt a sudden pain in her chest two hours ago. The Ferry Master who checked her pulse told me that there was a murderous aura in the north and south that had offended my mother. I came here to see who was so bold as to dare to kill someone on my mother's birthday. I'm happy for my mother."
As soon as these words came out of his mouth, Wu Zhen Steel felt waves of cold air flowing from his feet to his forehead. He just wanted to get rid of the evildoer as soon as possible, but he didn't expect that he would somehow offend the Consort Pang and the Third Prince.
Master Banlu, who was standing beside Wu Zhen steel, didn't even dare to raise his head. Offending the prince and the imperial concubine was a serious crime. He didn't dare to bear the consequences even if he had a few heads!
The atmosphere froze for a moment. The little girl who struggled to get up from the ground understood what the Third Prince said. Although she did not know if she could save her Miss, she still rushed over at the risk of her life.
"Third Prince, you are so kind. Please save our Miss! They all said that our Miss is a demon and wanted to burn her to death. Even if our Miss is not a phoenix maiden, she will not be a demon!" The little girl said as she rushed toward the carriage. The guards were so scared that they reached out to stop her.
Seeing this, Wu Zhen steel was so angry that his face changed. He almost wanted to slap this talkative girl to death.
"Ah..." Just as Wu Zhen steel was on tenterhooks, Zhangsun Mingyue, who was in the carriage, smiled. "I've heard a little about the mistake of the Phoenix Lady. But even if the Second Miss of the Martial House was stripped of the title of the Phoenix Lady and the title of the future Crown Prince's wife, there's no need for her to be sentenced to death, right? Besides, it's my mother's birthday today. General Wu, don't you think so?"
"Yes, the Third Prince is right." No matter how reluctant he was, he did not dare to say no.
"Okay." Zhangsun Yueming didn't have much patience. Seeing Wu Zhen steel nod his head, he made a prompt decision. "If the Martial House can't tolerate the next child, they can send him somewhere else. It's not necessary to execute him. What happened today is not worth it. I have to go back to the palace in a hurry to accompany my mother."
As the Third Prince finished his words, the guard standing outside the carriage pulled the bolt and turned the horse around.
The little girl who pleaded for her miss knew that she didn't have to die, so she quickly knelt down and kowtowed. But as soon as she knelt down, a gust of cool wind came. When the wind blew her hair, it lifted a corner of the curtain.
With just one glance, the maid froze on the spot and murmured in surprise, "Oh my god, how could there be such a beautiful person in this world?"
Watching the Third Prince's carriage leave, Wu Zhenwu lost his temper. He turned around and impatiently called over two young male servants. Go and clean up the devil and send him to the Monastery 50 miles away.
That Banlu master took the money to help him eliminate the disaster. Seeing the duck flying away, he couldn't help but boldly ask, "General Wu, you don't want to burn it?"
"What the hell are you talking about? If you really burn it, will Imperial Noble Consort Pang blame you or me for the crime?" After saying that, Wu Zhen steel walked toward the Martial House without even looking back at his daughter.
Seeing this, Master Ban Lu did not dare to act rashly. He thought to himself that there was no difference between being sent to the nunnery and being killed. Anyway, he would never come back.
Thinking of this, he also smiled. He turned around and followed Wu Zhen Steel, waiting for a few silvers to vote for him to show mercy.
The main characters had all left, and the onlookers had also left one after another. Just as everyone turned around, suddenly, a bolt of lightning shot up to the sky and landed on the open space where the bonfire was.
"Miss..." Seeing this, the little girl, who had been begging for mercy on behalf of her mistress, was so scared that she scrambled to the bonfire.
