Chapter 135 Blatant slander
Chapter 135 Blatant slander
"It's so spectacular!" she murmured, completely unaware that Qingyu was standing beside her with a lantern to brighten the picture for her so that she would not be unable to see the contents of the picture clearly due to the darkness.
After she finished painting the last person sitting on the podium, she breathed a sigh of relief. She felt as if she had regained her original love and persistence for painting.
It feels so great to be able to see the scenes recreated in her writing and to record the scenes that shocked her the most!
The first painting had already been seen at Mu Qingchen's place. Qinghong took a quick glance at it when she stood up to add tea to them and felt shocked and curious.
However, when Qiao Shinian was painting the second picture, Mo Lin had already stood up to see what she was painting. He inadvertently turned around to look at the painting in Mu Qingchen's hand and felt the same incredible feeling.
He had never seen such a painting technique or such brushwork.
Qiao Shinian smiled and said to Mu Qingchen, "I need to trouble Qingyu to keep these two paintings. I will take them away when I return to the palace tonight. Can I go downstairs for a walk? It seems that it is getting late. I should go back in an hour, otherwise I will not be able to go back when the palace gates are closed."
Mu Qingchen nodded, turned to look at Qingyu and said, "Take it and put it away."
Qingyu nodded. He brought a painting bucket with him, so the two paintings would definitely not be damaged.
The song and dance to invite the gods was still going on, but Qiao Shinian had already said goodbye to Mo Lin and went downstairs.
When Qiao Shinian and Mu Qingchen finally squeezed to the front, the people singing the lyrics had been replaced by a dozen young children. Their voices were tender and ethereal, revealing their innocence of being ignorant of the world.
Finally, the man sitting on the platform and beating the drum suddenly stood up. He shouted and pointed at the crowded people below, then turned around. The ribbons embroidered with various patterns on his black robe spun and fluttered with his movements.
"God~, grant me permission to go to the fairyland~
Just say~, the ominous popularity is messed up~
Innocent people! Suffer! "
After hearing these words, the people below began to whisper to each other, and one of them shouted, "Who! Who made us homeless? Who is causing the rebellion?"
"Those in high positions~ cannot speak~" The man who looked like a priest made a sound that made Qiao Shinian's throat feel very uncomfortable. She felt that after the priest finished speaking, her throat might not be very comfortable for several days to come. If she didn't drink throat-warming water for three or four days, her throat would probably hurt as soon as she opened her mouth.
It's really not easy to be mysterious and fool people at the same time.
Qiao Shinian was thinking about it with great interest. When the priest said that the earthquake was caused by someone's luck, she still crossed her arms and looked like she was enjoying the show.
Mu Qingchen looked at Qiao Shinian with a mocking and disdainful expression, but he was somewhat curious about what Qiao Shinian was thinking.
"Who is it! Who made us lose our family!"
The people below were aroused and roared in anger.
The priest pointed in a direction and said, "There! That day, the ominous person was in the outer city! It was him! He brought disaster to us! He is the reincarnation of an evil spirit!"
"In that direction?"
Many people looked in the direction of the priest's finger in confusion. Many people were puzzled.
"That? Where is that?"
"Is there any distinguished person living there?"
Some people who looked well-dressed asked in confusion, "Over there, the inner city? If we talk about the most distinguished person in the inner city, then it must be His Royal Highness the Wise King?"
As this voice sounded.
The news soon spread throughout the street, and many people said that they saw the wise king coming to the outer city for dinner that day.
As soon as this was said, many people testified that it was true.
The more you talk, the quieter everyone becomes.
Until finally the whole street fell eerily silent.
The priest shouted: "The fate of our Great Zhou is difficult because the evil spirit reincarnated into a disaster star is emitting an ominous aura.
Ah~~~, just say that everything is caused by this person~, the snowstorm and the earth dragon turning over are just the beginning of everything!"
Qiao Shinian was listening to the priest's nonsense with great interest. When she saw him pointing casually, she thought he was pointing at someone!
The result was such blatant slander. She raised her head slightly and looked at Mu Qingchen, but saw that his expression remained calm.
It seemed that all this had nothing to do with him, and the slander was like dust falling on his shoulders, which did not make him feel any discomfort at all.
"Mu Qingchen, what are you going to do?" Qiao Shinian quietly pulled Mu Qingchen's sleeve, "Is it your mortal enemy? How could they slander you in such a stupid way?"
Mu Qingchen looked at Qiao Shinian with a frown on his face, looking extremely confused. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. I don't have any fixed enemies. Today's opponent may be walking side by side with me tomorrow. The person who is still drinking and chatting with me today may fight with me tomorrow because of something.
As for the stupid method you mentioned, it is very effective, isn't it? Look at the people around you, they are still half-believing and half-doubting. "
"I testify that bad luck will come to me if I work with His Royal Highness the Wise King!" One person stood up and said loudly, "Because of him, my family is ruined!"
"His Royal Highness the Wise King did go to Zhenpinzhai that day, but it is still a pile of ruins now!"
"That's right. He was ordered to go to a place hundreds of miles away to provide disaster relief, but in the end, a large number of people there still died!"
As more and more people began to speak out, the anger in Qiao Shinian's heart was gradually aroused.
She didn't understand why people could be so ignorant. How could anyone believe someone who was obviously playing tricks?
Mu Qingchen went to help with disaster relief, and when he came back he was still thinner. Such visible weight loss was enough to show that he did not dare to slack off at all during the disaster relief work, which meant that he did not eat well and rest well, and must have been busy all the time.
"Your Majesty, the virtuous king is a great threat to our Zhou country! We must not allow the virtuous king to hold such an important position!"
"Correct!"
"We will go to the palace gate to petition tomorrow!"
"Expel the Wise King!"
Inside the restaurant, many people looked at each other and listened to the noise outside. After a while, a few drunk people stood up and began to echo the noise outside.
Mo Lin hugged Qinghong and leaned on the railing, looking at the figure in the distance that he could see at a glance with a mocking look on his face. He held the wine jug in one hand and poured wine into his mouth, and from time to time he made some gloating laughter and clicked his tongue.
Qiao Shinian stood on tiptoe and looked at the dark crowd, her brows tightly furrowed. When she looked at Mu Qingchen again, she felt sad and distressed for no reason.
He just stood there quietly amid the waves of criticism against him, expressionless, just like before, neither anxious nor angry, as if all this had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, she felt that such a person was the loneliest person in the world. No one understood him, and no one would feel sorry for him.
No, the person who felt sorry for him had gone away yesterday.
He just stood there, he could obviously send people to arrest these people.
"Catch them all." Qiao Shinian said hatefully.
Mu Qingchen lowered his head and looked at Qiao Shinian, smiling and shaking his head: "It's useless. They came prepared. The people have been instigated by them and have already believed most of it. What should their families do if innocent people are involved? Let's just leave this matter alone. My brother is not stupid. He knows what to do.
It's nothing more than letting me shut myself in for a few days to reflect on my mistakes, which is quite relaxing."
Qiao Shinian thought about the current situation and came up with a bold idea. She took Mu Qingchen's hand and patted it: "It's okay! I'll help you fight him, don't be sad!"
After saying that, she let go of Mu Qingchen's hand, and quickly climbed over the crowd and climbed to the platform!
