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.

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?"

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!"
