Traveling through another world to stir the emperor's heart
Chapter 138 Phoenix Hairpin
Two days later, the eunuch from the palace came to report that the emperor summoned Feng Qingyue into the palace.
"Qingyue, the emperor summoned you to the palace. Are you sure about it?" Jun Lingyuan asked softly, with a hint of worry in his eyes.
Feng Qingyue smiled faintly, with a calm confidence on her lips: "Don't worry, if the emperor really has doubts, he will naturally ask directly, and I just need to answer truthfully."
Her tone was still calm, and the firmness in her words made Jun Lingyuan say no more.
He knew Feng Qingyue's intelligence and decisiveness very well. If she said there was no problem, then there must be no problem.
Soon after, the father-in-law took them to the imperial study.
Feng Qingyue pushed open the door of the imperial study, and Jiang Tianhao was already sitting on the dragon throne with a deep gaze, as if waiting for her arrival.
The atmosphere suddenly became solemn, as if everything had come to a standstill.
Jiang Tianhao raised his head and glanced at Feng Qingyue, his brows slightly furrowed, obviously thinking about the truthfulness of what she said two days ago.
"Feng Qingyue, I summoned you here to ask you whether what you said two days ago was true or false?" Jiang Tianhao said in a deep voice, his tone steady, but he could not hide the doubts in his voice.
Feng Qingyue stood still, bowed respectfully, and then calmly responded, "Your Majesty, what you are thinking is exactly what I said. The prophecy about the Black Blood Cult Saint was indeed my prediction."
Jiang Tianhao's gaze suddenly focused, his scrutiny becoming more apparent. "How can I verify what you're saying? I need solid proof, not just empty words."
Feng Qingyue raised her head slightly, her eyes cold and firm, seemingly unmoved by Jiang Tianhao's doubts: "Your Majesty, do you trust me?"
Jiang Tianhao was slightly stunned, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
Feng Qingyue's concise question was like a sharp sword piercing the vital point, revealing a deterrent force that was difficult to ignore.
He unconsciously began to think about Feng Qingyue's ability and decisiveness.
"I... trust you." Jiang Tianhao nodded slowly. Although there was still some hesitation in his eyes, there was more of a helpless acceptance.
Feng Qingyue nodded slightly upon seeing this, a faint smile on her lips: "Since Your Majesty trusts me, then I have a way to make the Black Blood Cult's Saint reveal her true identity that day."
Jiang Tianhao's eyes flashed with surprise, and he was obviously very interested in Feng Qingyue's words: "Can you make her reveal her true identity?"
Feng Qingyue's eyes were deep and her expression was calm: "Yes, Your Majesty, but this requires Your Majesty's cooperation."
Jiang Tianhao frowned, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes.
He didn't fully understand Feng Qingyue's plan, but if he could expose the fake Saint's identity, he would be able to uncover the conspiracy behind it. He whispered, "How do we cooperate?"
Feng Qingyue smiled gently, a hint of deep meaning in her eyes. "Your Majesty, all you need to do is place this hairpin on her head as a gift at the appropriate time that day. If she is truly a saint, a red phoenix will appear beside her; if not, she will be engulfed in flames, her entire body ablaze."
As she spoke, she took out the hairpin from her sleeve and gently placed it on Jiang Tianhao's desk.
Jiang Tianhao took the hairpin, frowning, clearly confused by all this. "This hairpin of yours...isn't it some kind of evil-repelling item?"
Feng Qingyue smiled faintly, her tone steady: "Your Majesty, you don't need to know this question. You just need to act according to my instructions. But you can rest assured that the items are safe."
Jiang Tianhao's expression grew even more serious, clearly uneasy about Feng Qingyue's proposal. "If what you're saying is true, will it lead to other dangers if I choose to cooperate?"
Feng Qingyue shook her head slightly. "Your Majesty, don't worry. If she shows up according to my plan, I'll be able to confirm her identity. As for the danger, the decision is yours. If you don't trust me, you don't have to try."
Jiang Tianhao was silent for a moment, lowering his head in deep thought.
Finally, he slowly raised his head, his eyes firm: "In that case, I am willing to trust you this time."
Feng Qingyue smiled slightly, with a glint of approval in her eyes: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
She paused, her tone more cautious. "But please understand, Your Majesty, the forces behind the false Saint are unpredictable, so everything must be done with precision. If there is even the slightest error, the consequences could be unbearable."
Jiang Tianhao took a deep breath, his gaze gradually becoming firm. "I understand. In that case, I'll proceed as you say."
Feng Qingyue nodded and smiled slightly: "Okay, then we have a happy cooperation."
She slowly stood up and walked towards the door of the imperial study. Jiang Tianhao watched her back, feeling a mixture of emotions.
This turmoil seems to be just a prediction of Feng Qingyue, but what is involved behind it is probably not just the false identity of a saint, but a major variable that may affect the future of the entire Xingli Kingdom.

"Did the emperor agree?" Jun Lingyuan saw Feng Qingyue walking out of the imperial study and immediately came forward with a hint of anxiety in his eyes.
Feng Qingyue nodded slightly, a faint smile on her lips: "He agreed. Next, we just need to wait for the fake saint to show up."
Jun Lingyuan breathed a sigh of relief, but was still puzzled. "How on earth did you manage to make the Black Blood Cult's fake Saint reveal her true identity that day?"
Feng Qingyue turned around and smiled, with a glint of wisdom in her eyes: "Because I am Feng Qingyue."
She did not tell Jun Lingyuan all the details, especially the information she obtained after visiting Gao Yunfeng in the past two days.
She asked Gao Yunfeng how to prove what he said was true, and got a shocking answer, which was the method she and Jiang Tianhao mentioned.
In order to verify the feasibility of this method, she also conducted experiments herself.
When she put on the hairpin, a red phoenix actually appeared above her head.
But when she put the hairpin on Su Jin's head, flames suddenly appeared around Su Jin, as if they were going to devour her.
Fortunately, they removed the hairpins in time and avoided greater danger.
Feng Qingyue did not tell Jun Lingyuan these details because she did not know what to do with her identity as a saint.
