Chapter 468: 467, Can’t Afford to Lose This Person (Second Update)

"Strange?" Zhang Linzi lowered his voice, "What’s strange? Qingchen, are you overthinking things? Apart from the Eternal Empress, who else has the ability to invoke the Dancing Dragon and Phoenix?"

To common people, the ancient Konghou was nothing more than a mute instrument, let alone playing it.

"Perhaps, someone else besides her managed to invoke the Dancing Dragon and Phoenix?" Qin Qingchen retorted, "How can you be so certain it was Miss Zheng? After all, we’ve only heard Mo Feixue’s one-sided story."

They hadn’t seen with their own eyes who had played the Konghou.

Zhang Linzi stroked his beard, a glint of sharpness flashed through his eyes as he continued, "But aside from Miss Zheng, who else has had contact with the Konghou? After all, that ancient Konghou is now her possession."

Women’s intuition is always very mysterious, and Qin Qingchen continued, "Leaving all that aside, don’t you find her silhouette strange? Apart from that red dress, which part of her resembles the Empress in any way?"

That picture of a skeleton forming the path and blood as the offering, the captivating figure in red.

The Empress’s silhouette could not be imitated by just anyone.

Most importantly, the heart of the Eternal Empress was vast and boundless, so how could she be so oppressively forceful towards an old man?

The hearts of women are as delicate as dust, which is why the more Qin Qingchen thought about it, the more she felt something was amiss.

If they mistook someone else for the Empress, it could lead to grave consequences.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Linzi’s expression changed momentarily as the image from that painting emerged in his mind; he narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Qingchen, it’s been a thousand years, many cycles of reincarnation; a slight change in the Empress’s appearance is inevitable. We cannot simply deny her identity as the Empress because of these superficial changes."

One by one, Zhang Linzi refuted Qin Qingchen’s doubts, yet the caution in her heart did not diminish but instead grew heavier.

Was the situation really as simple as Zhang Linzi analyzed it to be?

Zhang Linzi patted Qin Qingchen’s shoulder, "I understand the worries in your heart, rest assured, the Empress is the Empress, no one can replicate her. Think about it, if she were not the reincarnated Empress, how would the Superpower World have named her the Saintess? You know what kind of person the Dugu old man is, how could he recognize the wrong Empress?"

Thinking about it, if Zheng Chuyi were not the reincarnated Empress, how could the Superpower World have made such a decision?

Perhaps his consolation had an effect, Qin Qingchen nodded, "Alright, I understand."

"Then let’s go in. Later, we’ll find a way to have Miss Zheng bring out the ancient Konghou, which will also spare you the heavy suspicions," Zhang Linzi said in a hushed tone.

"To be completely fail-safe, that would be best," Qin Qingchen collected her emotions and turned to enter the house.

Zhang Linzi followed behind her, his expression unchanged.

The two entered the room, taking up positions on either side of Zheng Chuyi, as if they were her personal guardians.

Qin Qingchen examined Zheng Chuyi discreetly.

Perhaps it was her beauty that conquered Qin Qingchen, causing her to gradually lower her guard.

In ancient texts, the Empress was described as possessing a stunning countenance capable of captivating an entire city.

"Aunt Mo, if I remember correctly, Mo Zhixuan seems to have a marriage arrangement with Miss Chu, doesn’t he? Now you’re constantly saying I’m the rightful bride of the Mo family. Today, you must give me an explanation for this, otherwise, when the night of extreme Yin arrives, I’m afraid I’ll be powerless to help," Zheng Chuyi looked towards the Mo family’s elderly Madame with a smile that did not reach her eyes.

"What do you want?" the elderly Madame Mo raised her eyes to look at Zheng Chuyi.

Zheng Chuyi’s lips slightly curled, "Break off the engagement. Have Mo Zhixuan and Miss Chu break off their engagement, and then, if it’s not too much to ask, kneel on the ground and beg me to marry Zhixuan."

Under the current circumstances, Mo Zhixuan had to submit to her, otherwise, the only thing awaiting him was to "Scatter Like Ashes."

Otherwise, the elderly Madame Mo wouldn’t have come pleading with her in such a low voice to return to the Mo family!

"Zheng Chuyi, don’t push it too far!" Mo Qingyi walked in from outside, his tone unfriendly.

"Heh," Zheng Chuyi’s mouth curled up, her face showing a mocking sneer, "And what are you supposed to be?" Now she was no longer the Zheng Chuyi of before, she did not need to consider Mo Qingyi’s feelings.

Merely an abandoned infant from the secular world.

And a star of calamity to boot.

"Fei Xue," Zheng Chuyi turned towards Mo Feixue, then spoke, "For someone of average talent, ordinary bloodline, and who is also a star of calamity, they have no qualifications to be entered into the Mo family’s genealogy, right? As the acting patriarch of the Mo family, how can you allow such a person to bring shame upon the Mo family? You know well what should be done."

Grasping Zheng Chuyi’s underlying intent, Elder Mo stood up immediately, "As long as I’m here, no one will bully Qingqing!"

As soon as Mo Zhixuan went into seclusion, Zheng Chuyi was already eager to take charge in the Mo family.

All she relied on was the fact that she could save Mo Zhixuan.

Once she lost this advantage, she would be nothing.

"Aunt Mo," Zheng Chuyi said demurely and wisely, "You’d better think this through. Are you really willing to sacrifice Zhixuan over this illegitimate wild seed? As the next Saintess of the Superpower World, I naturally cannot become sister-in-law with such a person, and the Mo family cannot possibly have descendants who are stars of calamity! A disgrace to the family name! You might not mind the disgrace, but the Mo family cannot afford to lose this face!"
