Chapter 1645 Where are the miracles?
Upon hearing this, the emperor was naturally the first to become eager to act.
The Fifth Princess understood his thoughts perfectly and immediately said, "Father, of course you are the most suitable person to do this. After all, you are the Emperor of Great Zhou. Who is more qualified than you to touch the divine light?"
Consort Yu also happily said, "That's right, Your Majesty. I've heard that divine light carries the power of blessing, isn't that right? Mortals shouldn't touch it lightly; it's up to you to touch it."
Someone whispered, "I wonder if this divine light has the power to prolong life or even rejuvenate people?"
The voice was very soft, and the emperor was in a state of indescribable excitement, so he had no mind to listen to whose voice it was.
However, those words really struck a chord with him.
Prolonging life?
Rejuvenating?
If that were really possible, he would be ecstatic!
Forget about extending his lifespan by a certain amount, even just one or two years, or being able to rejuvenate his physical condition and become a few years younger and more vigorous, would be great, would be great!
The horse just stood there, its light so real, so ethereal.
It tilted its head and looked over; its eyes were so bright, so human.
Perhaps it was under the influence of this scene and atmosphere, but in the Emperor's eyes, the horse seemed to have a real spirit, as if it were about to come over and speak human language to him.
An unbelievable thought even crossed the Emperor's mind—
No, he had to go over there and get close to the horse. Otherwise, if the horse really spoke human language and wanted to talk to him about gods and Buddhas, wouldn't others hear it?
You have to tell him everything.
The emperor immediately took a step toward the horse.
Consort Yu instinctively reached out to take his arm, wanting to walk over with the Emperor.
Just as the Emperor realized her movement and was about to brush her hand away, the Fifth Princess managed to grab her.
"Mother concubine."
The Fifth Princess gently shook her head at Consort Yu.
Consort Yu immediately released her hand, saying, "Your Majesty, please be careful. I was just trying to help you up."
"My beloved concubine is thoughtful."
As expected, the Emperor had no suspicions. Seeing that she didn't want to follow him to steal the divine light, his expression softened.
As the Emperor walked toward the horse, a shadow of gloom flashed across Consort Yu's eyes.
The emperor was indeed still very selfish and suspicious.
The Fifth Princess grabbed her wrist and squeezed it gently, signaling her to be careful. There were so many people here, especially Prince Jin, and she couldn't let him notice anything.
Zhou Shiyue didn't notice the two of them at that moment.
Because he had already determined that the matter of the horse had nothing to do with the mother and daughter.
His gaze remained fixed on the Emperor, occasionally glancing at Shen Xiangjun and Prime Minister Shen.
After arriving, Aoki did not leave. The princess said that he should protect the prince now, and that the princess should be fine, so Aoki naturally stayed with Zhou Shiyue.
The Emperor Emeritus had been staying by Zhou Shiyue's side the whole time. After hearing what Aoki had told him, the Emperor Emeritus was a little worried, so he was keeping a close eye on Zhou Shiyue.
Everyone looked at the Emperor, who had already walked to the side of the Moonlight Steed.
As he got closer, he could see more clearly that the horse was indeed radiating a silver light. Moreover, upon closer inspection, he saw that the horse's body was dotted with silver light and had an iridescent quality, making it look extremely beautiful. Such a radiance could not be found in the human world.
It must be divine light shining from heaven.
The emperor was extremely excited. He reached out and gently touched the horse's head.
The horse remained docile and showed no sign of aggression. When it saw the emperor extend his hand, it even slightly turned its head towards him, as if to welcome his caress.
The emperor's hand touched the horse's mane.
Its mane feels very smooth to the touch, quite different from other horses.
After touching it a couple of times, the emperor withdrew his hand. He looked down at his palm and found that it was covered with iridescent starlight, as if it had been tinged with a layer of silver light.
He raised his hand, turned to the crowd, and said, "My beloved ministers, take a look and see if my hand is stained with silver light?"
When everyone looked, it really was true.
The Emperor's palm now seems to have a thin layer of silver sheen.
Those who had been hesitant just moments before now stared wide-eyed and gaped in disbelief.
Could there really be divine light emanating from this horse?
Is it really possible for the Emperor to benefit from this divine light?
For a moment, everyone was eager to try it out, wanting to touch the divine horse and see if their hands could get some.
The Emperor Emeritus was also somewhat incredulous at the sight. He asked Aoki in a low voice, "Aoki, did Master Rin just say whether this horse is a divine horse or not?"
Aoki shook his head.
"The princess did not say that."
Aoki felt that although the princess had not mentioned the horse, she must know the secret behind it. How could one possibly encounter a divine horse of such rarity?
They live in the ordinary human world, not in some strange and magical continent of gods and demons.
What else?
Having followed Lu Zhaoling for a long time, Aoki has also become skeptical of these miracle-like events, and is no longer as ignorant as before, thinking that anything that happens casually is a miracle.
Zhou Shiyue didn't speak at this moment, but he looked at the emperor's palm thoughtfully.
At this moment, Prime Minister Shen finally spoke up, "Your Majesty, since it is a miracle, it must also be a blessing upon the Great Zhou Dynasty. Can all members of the royal family come and touch this divine horse and receive some of its divine light?"
The emperor glanced at him, but he was actually not very happy about it.
However, Prime Minister Shen's words also make sense.
This belongs to the royal family, namely the Fifth Princess and Zhou Shiyue.
As a woman, the Fifth Princess posed no threat to the throne.
Zhou Shiyue had promised his father that he would not seize the throne himself, and no one would support him if he wanted to become emperor, given his reputation as a playboy.
Therefore, it's not a big deal for these two people to benefit from a little divine influence.
At this moment, the emperor was quite glad that he had not summoned the crown prince and the second prince, because he did not want his sons to sit on the throne at all; he had not yet had enough of sitting on the throne.
So letting Zhou Shiyue and Xiao Wu come over to touch the divine horse now only shows his magnanimity, and poses no threat.
Thinking of this, the Emperor nodded and said, "Minister Shen is absolutely right. Xiao Wu, A Yue, you two come over here too."
The Fifth Princess seemed very excited and immediately ran towards the Emperor. Her expression was full of a little girl's innocence.
"Father, may I touch it now?"
"Yes, you can touch it." The Emperor nodded.
The fifth princess indeed reached out and touched the horse.
Horses are just as docile.
