The Empress’s Blind Consort: Invincible in Secret

Chapter 3 – Because I am a Prophet!



Chapter 3 – Because I am a Prophet!

Present Village.

Meng Qingzhou, leaning on a straight and round cane, couldn't bear the boredom and decided to go out to buy some groceries.

The village wasn't big, but it had everything one could need—markets, inns, and even brothels.

"Little Meng, out to buy groceries again?" The village chief, Jiang Canghai, hunched over, greeted him with a cheerful smile.

Meng Qingzhou tilted his head to listen and said in surprise, "Village Chief Jiang Dahai? Haven't seen you in a while. I thought you had gone off to some remote corner to count your days."

Jiang Canghai chuckled dryly, "What are you talking about? This old man is still strong and healthy."

"That's not certain."

Without another word, Meng Qingzhou pressed his hand against Jiang Canghai's forehead, his expression turning serious as he formed a seal with his other hand.

Dragon-Seeking Bone Toucher.

A heavenly method capable of calculating celestial phenomena and peering into the fates of all beings.

Jiang Canghai's face stiffened, his beard trembling as he resisted the urge to slap this impudent young man.

Meng Qingzhou said in confusion, "Your life destiny is very mixed. You should have been wealthy and noble, either becoming a Prime Minister or an immortal, yet you're just a village chief."

Although he couldn't use Divine Sense to probe, the Dragon-Seeking Bone Toucher didn't require eyes or Divine Sense. By feeling the other person's features with his hand and imagining their appearance in his mind, he could deduce their fate.

Jiang Canghai reached out to stop him, forcing a smile, "Little Meng, put your hand down first..."

Meng Qingzhou grabbed Jiang Canghai's nose and scolded, "Don't move!

Your life destiny is wrong. Your future is dark, with a hint of bloodshed! This means you're in danger of losing your life soon, not from natural causes but because someone wants to harm you!"

Unable to bear it any longer, Jiang Canghai pushed Meng Qingzhou's hand away angrily, "Don't lay hands on an old man!"

Meng Qingzhou ignored him and patted his shoulder earnestly, "I'm warning you out of kindness. Be careful in the coming days. Whether you live or die depends on your strength."

Having said enough, Meng Qingzhou felt he had done his part.

Good advice is hard to give to those destined to die. Whether the old village chief believed him or not was his own business.

The leader of the Imperial Guard, who was selling wine next door, struggled to hold back his laughter. He never expected that the powerful Prime Minister would have such a day.

Passersby stumbled and fell, casting admiring glances at Meng Qingzhou.

Even the Empress wouldn't dare to offend the Prime Minister lightly, yet you directly told him he was going to die.

Two words: Awesome!

Jiang Canghai, having calmed down, didn't stay angry. He stood there, lost in thought.

"The Empress' Husband seems to really know how to read faces. He said your life destiny is mixed and that you should be a Prime Minister!" The leader of the Imperial Guard approached, marveling, "Amazing! He can calculate so accurately without eyes."

Jiang Canghai glanced at him and said calmly, "So, the Empress' Husband saying I have a blood calamity is also true?"

The leader of the Imperial Guard froze...

On the other side.

Meng Qingzhou walked familiarly towards the market. In just half a month of living in Present Village, he had already gotten to know many neighbors and familiarized himself with the terrain.

At the market.

Zhao Gou, disguised as a vegetable farmer, squatted in front of his stall, plotting how to incite chaos within the Great Jin Dynasty.

Suddenly, a voice interrupted Zhao Gou's thoughts:"Vendor, do you have garlic sprouts?"

Without looking up, Zhao Gou waved impatiently, "Are you blind? Can't you see for yourself?"

Meng Qingzhou pointed to the black silk band covering his eyes and said, "I am indeed blind."

Zhao Gou was stunned. When he looked up and saw the man he envied and hated the most, his face darkened.

"Yes! How much do you want?"

"Three taels will do," Meng Qingzhou said.

Zhao Gou, with a darkened face, packed the vegetables for his enemy and tossed them over, "One copper coin."

Meng Qingzhou paid, picked up the garlic sprouts, and sniffed them, surprised, "This has the unique fragrance of the Shu Region. Vendor, did you bring these from the Shu Region?"

"Is that a problem? Why do you talk so much when buying vegetables!" Zhao Gou retorted, annoyed.

Meng Qingzhou whispered softly, "Are you from the Shu Region..."

"I see you're an honest person, so I'll tell you a secret. Hurry back and bring your wife and children here. Don't stay in the Shu Region."

Zhao Gou asked, puzzled, "Why?"

"The Vassal King of Shu is about to start a rebellion. His son, Zhao Gou, has traveled all the way to the capital to stir up trouble and create chaos within the Great Jin Dynasty, giving his father a chance to rebel!" Meng Qingzhou said confidently.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Gou's face changed dramatically. He almost overturned the table and drew the long sword hidden in the vegetables to kill and escape.

What the hell!

I haven't even started my plan yet, how did you know?

The most crucial part was that Meng Qingzhou's information was detailed and accurate!

Fortunately, reason prevailed, and Zhao Gou suppressed his inner turmoil, not daring to act rashly.

‘What's going on?’ Cold sweat poured from Zhao Gou's forehead as his mind raced with various guesses.

‘Meng Qingzhou doesn't know he's the Empress' Husband. He thinks he's just a live-in son-in-law in a remote village. He wouldn't deceive me for no reason.’

Moreover, Meng Qingzhou is a blind man with no cultivation level. He couldn't possibly discern his true identity.

So... Zhao Gou's eyes widened, and his heart pounded.

There was only one possibility left: the news of the Zhao family's rebellion had already spread throughout the court!

So everyone knew about Zhao Gou's intentions?

"How do you know the Vassal King of Shu is planning a rebellion?" Zhao Gou asked, clinging to a sliver of hope, looking at Meng Qingzhou with a tense expression.

Meng Qingzhou smiled mysteriously, "Because I am the Prophet!"

Zhao Gou almost choked, nearly spitting out blood, and immediately cursed:

"Get lost! As far away as you can! Or I'll..."

Before he could finish, a fragrant breeze wafted over, and a stunning woman in red appeared in Zhao Gou's sight, walking gracefully.

It was none other than the Empress of Great Jin, Dongfang Liuli, accompanied by Su Qingqiu.

Zhao Gou's heart sank, his expression turning ashen. It was over! The Empress must have heard everything he said!

"Why are you here?" Meng Qingzhou turned his head and smiled warmly, even from a distance.

Even without seeing, just by the scent, Meng Qingzhou knew who it was.

Dongfang Liuli kept her distance and said indifferently, "Just taking a walk and happened to run into you."

As she spoke, Dongfang Liuli's cold eyes fixed on Zhao Gou, and she asked calmly:"You were just talking about the Vassal King of Shu planning a rebellion? What's going on? I'd like to hear it too."

In an instant, the entire street fell silent. Everyone in the market, whether passersby or vegetable vendors, turned their attention to them.

Su Qingqiu remained silent, her fingers brushing the hilt of the sword hidden at her thigh, a chilling killing intent locking onto Zhao Gou.

Feeling the change in atmosphere, Zhao Gou almost cursed out loud.

But Zhao Gou quickly calmed down. Meng Qingzhou had no evidence, just empty words. How could he convict him with just that?

"Nonsense. He claims to foresee the future, predicting that the Vassal King of Shu will rebel and telling me to take my family and flee the Shu Region," Zhao Gou said, shaking his head with a bitter smile.

As his words fell, the market's atmosphere relaxed again, and some people rolled their eyes.

The master of the harem truly was fearless, daring to publicly joke about a Vassal King.

Many court officials, their veins bulging, secretly communicated:

"Tomorrow at court, we must impeach the Empress' Husband! He cannot casually accuse the Vassal King of rebellion, even if he is the Empress' Husband! He must be punished severely!"

"Exactly! His reckless words can mislead the masses. If we don't teach him a lesson, he'll think he's above the law!"

"We should take this opportunity to bring him down! He doesn't deserve his position as the Empress' Husband!"

***

"Oh, really." Dongfang Liuli nodded, seemingly unconcerned.

Meng Qingzhou, however, shook his head and said seriously:

"Who said I was talking nonsense? I'm in a good mood today, so I'll explain it to you all!"
