Not to mention how panicked Zhao Zhen was when he was woken up in the middle of the night, the next morning, the entire city of Bianjing was forced to fall into panic with him.

It's not their fault. Anyone would be scared when they wake up and open the door and see that everything around them has become lifeless and gray.

You know, Lin Qinshuang has turned the power of the halo to its maximum. All plants will die as long as they are within the range of the halo.

This resulted in the people living in Bianjing City opening their eyes the next day to see only vast expanses of yellow earth and flowers and plants that had no vitality and had even turned black.

Not to mention those dead century-old trees, a large bare root just stands there crookedly, wow, the visual impact is so strong!

Therefore, all the ministers were concerned about what happened during today's grand court meeting. Before the meeting started, they gathered together one by one to think about what had happened while they were sleeping yesterday.

When the court officials arrived one after another, some officials with good eyesight and sensitive noses could not stand it anymore.

"Why is there such a strong smell of blood... Was there a commotion in the palace last night?"

Considering that there were so many bats that were killed last night, even with the help of the Guards, they still couldn't clean up completely, so there were still traces of blood in every corner.

In particular, the ministers who were closer to the palace gate could more clearly smell the bloody odor coming from the vermilion palace gate.

There is no way. Even if the door is wiped clean, the smell of blood that has seeped in will not dissipate for a while.

This indelible smell of blood once again caused a small amount of panic among the court officials. Fortunately, the emperor arrived soon, and everyone felt a little relieved when they saw Zhao Zhen sitting well on the dragon throne.

Such a big mess happened last night, involving many people and covering the entire palace, so Zhao Zhen never thought about concealing it, because it would be impossible to conceal it anyway.

Therefore, before the court officials had a chance to report to the emperor today, Zhao Zhen himself summoned the eunuch Zhang to tell him about the bats knocking on the palace gates at night and all the flowers and trees in the palace had withered and died.

When these words were spoken, all the ministers gasped.

The Deputy Privy Councilor Sun Bi (biàn) immediately made a report and explained what he had seen and heard in the city today, and then all the ministers echoed him.

Only then did Zhao Zhen realize that it was not just the inner palace that was in trouble, but the entire city of Bianjing!

Just as everyone was wondering what the strange phenomenon from the sky meant and whether there was some insect disease in the city that only targeted plants, Bao Zheng, the Chief Censor who cared about the people, suddenly stepped forward and asked a very serious question.

"Whether it's an abnormal weather condition or a pest or disease, what I'm worried about now is that the withering of flowers and trees is not just happening in the city, and not just affecting flowers and trees, but also affecting rice and wheat? This matter cannot be delayed, and I ask the emperor to send someone to investigate outside the city immediately!"

After hearing this, Zhao Zhen slapped his thigh anxiously.

"That's right, my dear minister, I will send people out of the city immediately!"

After saying that, Zhao Zhen sighed again and asked all the ministers to get ready and go to the Daqing Hall with him later. He wanted to lead all the ministers to offer sacrifices to their ancestors and see if they could get some clues from their own family members first.

If that doesn't work, then he can only prepare for the Temple of Heaven sacrifice, and then read out the edict of repentance in public.

Zhao Zhen had been busy from last night until this morning. When he had some free time, he thought about it alone for a long time, and finally found a legitimate source for the strange cough.

Maybe it was his father, or one of his ancestors trying to remind him.

Otherwise, how could he enter the palace without harming him and Concubine Rong?

It must be one of our family members who didn’t run away!

But he couldn't understand why his ancestor just coughed when he wanted to remind him, instead of talking about the real thing?

That's why he thought of going to pay homage today. His family is easy to talk to, and the ancestors will definitely feel sorry for him!

The ministers had no objection to this. They were also confused by this strange phenomenon anyway, so they might as well hold some sacrificial activities to appease the people in the city.

Just when everyone was ready and preparing to leave the hall, they saw a Tianwu Guard rushing over.

"Your Majesty, a line of words suddenly appeared on the palace wall. We are surprised and fear that it is a sign from heaven. We dare not take the initiative to do so. Therefore, please move over and take a look!"

Zhao Zhen paused slightly when he heard this. Although he was frightened, he also felt a strange sense of satisfaction.

He knew that his ancestors still loved him!

He had just said he wanted to worship his ancestors when the prompt came out immediately!

The emperor and his ministers, dozens of people, hurriedly followed the Tianwu Guard to the palace wall where the words suddenly appeared, which was the left wall of the Chuigong Hall.

A line of ink words was clearly visible on the gray-white wall - "The goddess is in trouble, and all the people are in disaster."

"What does this mean... What does it mean that the goddess is in trouble? Moreover, a gentleman does not speak of strange things, this, this..."

An old minister stroked his beard and muttered to himself.

Zhao Zhen pushed away several ministers who wanted to protect him, and personally stepped forward and touched the line of words.

When I took my hand back, I saw that there was no ink but wall dust on my fingertips.

This means that the words that suddenly appeared were not written by someone.

"Did this line of words really suddenly appear in full view of everyone?"

Bao Zheng, who had examined many bizarre cases in his life, still didn't quite believe that this matter was related to gods and ghosts, so he walked to the side and questioned the Tianwu Guards and palace servants who were on duty there one by one.

But they all said in unison that this line of words suddenly appeared right under their noses!

After hearing this, Bao Zheng thought for a moment, then ordered someone to bring a scraper. He then apologized to Zhao Zhen, and then asked a stronger Tianwu Guard to scrape the wall.

He still felt that this was man-made, but the means were a little strange.

Who would have thought that after Wu Wei scraped off three layers of wall after scraping for a long time that day, the line of ink words still stubbornly appeared on it, and even the color did not change at all.

Seeing this, even Bao Zheng began to doubt his own intuition.

Could it be that... there really are gods in this world?

The goddess has come down to earth?

And being bullied! ?

After experiencing all kinds of events, the knowledgeable Bao Zheng is the only one who remains firm in his heart for the time being. Others have already confirmed that this is a punishment from heaven!

Zhao Zhen clapped his hands and turned around in panic.

"List me as a minister. Regardless of whether this incident was man-made or not, since there is such a hint, it means that what happened last night must be related to the goddess. The most urgent task now is to find the goddess!"

"What the emperor said is very true, but we don't know the goddess's name or appearance. How can we find her?"

"...When a goddess descends to the world, there will be miracles...We just need to do our best, and the heavens will give us hints!"

Now Zhao Zhen has great confidence in his ancestors, he feels that he is incredibly powerful!
