Chapter 308
Future Female Emperor (2)
Mo Linyuan and Ye Mu were stunned. However, Mo Linyuan was quick to respond, “That’s impossible. With the exception to the piece you gave, every single piece came from the original and cannot be fake.”
He said it so confidently… Zhao Mingyu simply wanted to test him. After all, she herself gave a fake piece of the map, it wasn’t for certain if the opponent would also give her a forged copy as well.
They were testing each other, both of which were masters of deceptions.
Zhao Mingyu heard him, but regardless she still put on the act,
“Really? I just notice that the mountain ranges seem to have ruptures, which was why I asked.”
Mo Linyuan paused before finally saying, “I apologize Princess Zhao, this monarch does not understand FengShui. But no matter, I will ask a FengShui Master to come and help this monarch take a look at it and check that it is not falsified. After all, I have gone through such painstaking trouble for this.”
Zhao Mingyu was using various methods to stall. Sometimes she would say this was incorrect, or that there were problems. Eventually, Mo Linyuan became deeply doubtful of this City Boundary Map’s authenticity.
That was the effect that Zhao Mingyu was looking for. As long as he had doubts, that would mean he wouldn’t rashly go treasure hunting. What’s more, he would first want to confirm if the City Boundary Map was real or fake. That way, her country would have enough time to go search for it.
At last, she was able to memorize all the details of the map. She then placed the map down and said soberly,
“My apologies Your Majesty, maybe it was me who didn’t study enough. I cannot find the Dragon’s vein in this map.”
Mo Linyuan frowned and waved his hand in dismissal, “No harm done. Thanks to the Princess’s reminder, this monarch shouldn’t go treasure hunting yet until after he has checked that this map is indeed genuine. That way no one would get injured on the treasure hunt.”
Zhao Mingyu’s eyes held a glimpse of arrogance, “In that case, I will no longer bother Your Majesty. If this was indeed authentic, please do let me know as I am also very doubtful about it. I would really want to see for myself what the treasures look like.”
Mo Linyuan nodded, “Definitely. The completion of this map was also thanks to Princess Zhao. If you are willing, maybe we may go treasure hunting together when the time comes.”
Zhao Mingyu softly smiled, “In that case, I must thank Your Majesty in advance.”
“Sure.”
Mo Linyuan answered absentmindedly.
Once Zhao Mingyu left, he lightly snickered, “This Princess Zhao is truly interesting.”
Ye Mu scowled and asked, “I had a feeling she obviously doesn’t know anything about FengShui. Yet she spoke so convincingly to seize this opportunity. She is truly someone with outstanding abilities.”
“My little Mu’er also noticed it?” Mo Linyuan grinned and beamed at Ye Mu, “She made such a simple demand, asking that I double check the authenticity of the map. In hopes that I would delay my search because of doubts, just so that she can give the Zhao country more time… What’s more…”
Mo Linyuan’s hand wrapped Ye Mu’s hair in his fingers. He smirked with hidden meaning, “In case I discovered that she forged her piece of the map, she would also have time to flee from death. I do not know the emperor of the Zhao Country well, but he must have promised to give her something significant for her to take such dangerous risks.”
Ye Mu suddenly remembered Zhao Mingyu’s original ending in the book. She then murmured, “Maybe, the throne..?”
Mo Linyuan heard her, and his eyes shined brightly!
“That’s right, why didn’t I think of that before?!”
He quickly walked over to the dragon desk and laughed evilly, “If so, I must also give her a little gift of my own!”
Evidently, Mo Linyuan was eagerly writing a secret degree on a scroll.
On the other hand, Zhao Mingyu was drawing a copy of the map.
She drew quickly, mindlessly, for two straight hours… As she tirelessly copied down the whole City Boundary Map in which she saw before.
