Chapter 154 I’ve seen this magic!
Fairies come down to earth, marry mortals out of gratitude, and raise children. This only exists in storybooks.
What about the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl, Dong Yong and the Seven Fairies, and the Dragon Girl's Gratitude...
There are many such stories on the market, and some are good, some are bad, but in the end, no matter it is a fairy, a dragon girl, or a witch, they will be moved by mortals and marry them.
Without exception.
But these kinds of stories were all written by some poor scholars and were full of unrealistic delusions and fantasies.
After walking out of the main hall and seeing that there was no one around, Jiang Wanyue suddenly looked up at Li Ce.
"Your Highness, do you believe it?"
Li Ce's brows were still furrowed, but facing Jiang Wanyue's question, he shook his head without hesitation.
"Do not believe!"
But then he rubbed his eyebrows.
"But I don't know how she managed to turn that bowl of water into ice? Did you see it clearly just now? Is there any flaw?"
Jiang Wanyue shook her head slowly.
"In fact, I feel that the authenticity of this magic is not the most important thing. Instead, it is the emperor's attitude that makes me confused."
She pursed her lips, her eyes full of confusion.
"The emperor believed in her and even wanted Your Highness to marry her as his principal wife. Isn't this very strange? Your Highness, look at the others. They didn't say it on the surface, but they clearly didn't believe it before. Even if Fairy Ling performed the so-called magic, not everyone believed her."
Emperors are all suspicious, so why is this emperor doing the opposite? Others are suspicious, but he believes.
Jiang Wanyue didn't think the emperor was really that stupid.
If he was stupid, how could he have defeated other princes and ascended the throne? And how could he have sat on the throne for so many years?
"Perhaps it is because my father encountered a similar thing when he was young, so now that he meets Ling Lan, he believes it without a doubt." Li Ce said casually.
Jiang Wanyue paused.
"Did the emperor encounter something similar when he was young?"
Li Ce nodded: "Father mentioned it before, but he didn't say what it was."
Jiang Wanyue looked thoughtful.
"That's understandable."
She didn't say anything else, and Li Ce also fell silent.
After returning to the bedroom, Li Ce entered first. Before Jiang Wanyue entered, she was pulled aside by Xiuchun.
"Master, does His Highness really want to marry Fairy Ling?"
Xiuchun was extremely anxious.
"If His Highness agrees, what will you do?"
My master has spent so much effort to win the favor of His Highness, and the position of Crown Princess is already in his pocket. Is he going to watch it being snatched away by others?
"You're still a fairy! Why are you trying to steal someone else's husband? That's too much!"
This was the first time Xiuchun hated someone so much.
Jiang Wanyue hadn't thought of this yet, but when she heard Xiuchun's angry words, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Xiuchun stamped her feet.
"I am so anxious, why are you still laughing?"
Jiang Wanyue put her arm around Xiuchun's shoulders.
"You! You are so concerned that you are confused. How could His Highness marry her?"
Li Ce is a person of a person who is more likely to agree the more others force him, especially when it comes to women. Having been tricked by Lu Qingshuang in the past, Li Ce is now more resistant to women.
Even for me, it took me a lot of effort to get him to let down his guard.
An outsider with unknown origins is very likely a trap, and Li Ce would be a fool to agree to it.
It's just that he still doesn't know her background, so he didn't refuse outright.
After Jiang Wanyue finished explaining in a few words, Xiuchun patted his chest and let out a breath.
"That's what I said! Your Highness still cares about the Master the most."
While they were talking, Mi'er came back.
Mi'er was so angry that she stamped her feet with every step she took.
"What kind of fairy is this! She is not even as pretty as the master! She even wants to covet our prince! Master, you can't let her succeed!"
These two were both very angry.
Jiang Wanyue smiled.
She didn't explain it in detail to Mi'er, she just said.
"Your Highness will not."
After she finished speaking, she glanced around casually and was about to ask them to come in when she suddenly spotted Doctor Zeng following behind the team.
There was something wrong with Doctor Zeng's expression.
He frowned, his mind wandering, and almost bumped into the person in front of him.
Jiang Wanyue called out.
"Doctor Zeng?"
Doctor Zeng raised his head and came back to his senses.
"What does Liang Di want me to do?"
"Doctor Zeng seems a little tired. Let's go to the side hall and rest for a while! Mi'er, ask someone to make some tea."
Jiang Wanyue gave an order and took Xiuchun into the side hall first.
The rest of the palace maids dispersed and busy themselves with other things. Jiang Wanyue asked with concern.
"Doctor Zeng, what happened to you? You almost fell down just now."
Doctor Zeng shook his head.
"It's okay. I'm just thinking."
"What are you thinking about?"
Jiang Wanyue just asked casually, but unexpectedly, she got an unexpected answer.
"I have seen the magic of turning water into ice before."
Jiang Wanyue stood up suddenly, her face full of shock.
"Are you telling the truth? Where have you seen it? Who did it?"
She asked three questions in a row.
Doctor Zeng rubbed his face and sighed.
"It happened many years ago, and I'm not sure if the two are related."
Jiang Wanyue frowned and her eyes flashed.
"Xiuchun, go and invite His Highness down. His Highness needs to hear about this matter as well."
Xiuchun ran out with a serious expression.
After a while, Li Ce came over after changing his clothes.
"What's going on?"
Jiang Wanyue pulled him to sit down.
"Your Highness, Doctor Zeng said that he had seen the magic of turning water into ice!"
Li Ce looked at Dr. Zeng with the same shock and surprise.
"Zeng Tai, when did this happen? Why have I never heard you mention it before?"
Doctor Zeng sighed.
"I didn't mean to hide it, but I promised my master that I would never reveal a word, so I haven't told anyone for all these years. But what happened today is really weird, so I can only break my oath."
He calmed himself down and started from the beginning.
"Your Highness also knows that my family was exiled to the border, and none of my family members survived. Only I and my niece survived."
As soon as he said this, Mier couldn't help but interrupt.
"Could Fairy Ling be your niece, Doctor Zeng?"
Doctor Zeng smiled helplessly.
"How is that possible? My niece didn't make it and died very early. I buried her with my own hands. That's not what I want to talk about."
"Life at the border was tough, and we criminals were originally sent to the army to do hard labor. One spring, wars broke out, and we were forced to go to the battlefield, where many lost our lives. I was lucky, because I injured my leg on the first day and was sent to the hospital for treatment, where I met my master."
As Dr. Zeng spoke, a smile appeared on his face.
"Because I know some medical skills, my master took me with him as an assistant. Although my medical skills are said to be inherited from my family, I actually learned most of them from my master."
"Later, the battle was going badly, and there were more and more wounded soldiers. We were about to lose. Suddenly, my master took me out of the barracks and sneaked behind the enemy camp."
"Those foreigners are used to living near water, and their camps are all very close to water sources. Master found a way to bring water into the warhorse camp, and then sprinkled some white powder. Not long after, the water on the ground actually froze into ice!"
