He said in a deep voice:

"No, Your Majesty."

"No one will hold back when sparring with Yongning."

“A few days ago, Yongning accidentally killed two people.”

Jin Fengluan was startled and immediately said, "Is that so? This girl attacked so fiercely?"

"Yes, that's right. Yesterday, Jianzhong saw Yongning practicing martial arts and became interested. He said he wanted to spar with Yongning. He thought it would just be a few casual moves to work up a sweat."

“Unexpectedly… Yongning accidentally twisted Jianzhong’s wrist…” Jin Jiande said slowly.

"Hehe, this girl." Jin Fengluan laughed when she heard this.

"By the way, how badly is Jianzhong injured? Is he alright?"

Jin Jiande shook his head. "It's alright, it's not particularly serious."

Jin Fengluan hummed in agreement, stood up from the dragon throne, and waved her hand, saying, "That's good. Minor squabbles are fine, just don't hurt your own family."

"Yongning is about to get married, so let's just let her have her way for now."

"After she got married and went to Hunnic, we saw each other less often."

Upon hearing this, Jin Jiande sighed slightly and nodded.

But then Jin Fengluan continued, "Since the rebels started their uprising, I haven't had a single good night's sleep."

"I went to the Imperial Advisor to pray for blessings a couple of days ago. Do you know what the Imperial Advisor said?"

Jin Jiande looked puzzled: "The Grand Preceptor... he's figured it out this time?"

Jin Fengluan frowned slightly and said in a deep voice:

"good."

"The Imperial Advisor observed the celestial phenomena last night and said that the Ziwei Star was shrouded in dust, enveloped by a gray fog coming from the north and south. This gray fog is what is blocking my imperial fortune. It not only affects my imperial fortune, but also the fortune of the entire nation."

"Coming from the north to the south, there is no doubt that this gray fog is none other than the traitor Qin Ze."

Jin Jiande nodded.

Jin Fengluan's expression changed slightly at this moment. Her eyes crinkled with a smile as she said:

"But recently, the Imperial Advisor observed the celestial phenomena again and said that the dense fog from before is now gradually dissipating."

At this point, she stretched out her hand and suddenly waved it.

"The Imperial Advisor says, there's wind!"

"A wind is blowing from the south! It's starting to disperse the gray fog!"

She became increasingly excited.

"My imperial destiny, and the nation's destiny, are about to change with this wind."

"The Imperial Advisor also said that a major event is about to occur!"

"This matter is extremely important, affecting the fate of the entire Great Qian Dynasty! However, the secrets of heaven are unpredictable, and the Imperial Advisor cannot fathom what it is, but I already know it perfectly well!"

Seeing her so confident, Jin Jiande raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but ask, "Your Majesty, what is it?"

Jin Fengluan laughed even more heartily, and she said:

"Jiande, isn't that what we were just talking about?"

Jin Jiande was slightly taken aback, and Jin Fengluan then smiled and said:

"Yongning will be getting married soon. Don't you think that's a big deal?"

Before Jin Jiande could speak, she continued:

"This is not only a big event, but also a joyous occasion. It's a perfect opportunity to bring good luck and change our fortunes through this wedding. In this way, we can definitely break through the fog in one fell swoop!"

"Tell me, how incredibly accurate the Imperial Advisor's predictions were! He got everything right!"

After a moment of stunned silence, Jin Jiande replied, "Your Majesty is right. The Imperial Advisor's predictions... have always been very accurate."

"Hahahaha!" Jin Fengluan laughed heartily.

"Look, I am about to receive reinforcements to help me suppress the rebels, and those people happen to be coming from overseas. Yongning's marriage is just the beginning."

"Without a doubt! Yongning's marriage this time was preordained. Her luck will definitely begin with this marriage!"

"This! This is the momentous event that will change our fate!"

Jin Jiande nodded repeatedly: "Your Majesty is right."

Although that's what he said, Jin Jiande felt a sudden unease, a sense of unease creeping into his heart.

He clearly remembered that every time His Majesty consulted the Imperial Advisor, he would soon suffer a defeat. After several such consultations, the rebels had already occupied Jinling and declared themselves emperors, while he himself had fled back to his hometown of Nanze in a sorry state.

In Jin Jiande's eyes, this so-called national advisor was nothing more than a charlatan who swindled and cheated people. The more he tried to consult the advisor, the more bad luck he would have.

Previously in Jinling, he had intended to advise Jin Fengluan to expose the charlatan's nonsense, but unfortunately Jin Fengluan trusted him quite a bit. Now that he had returned to Nanze, Jin Fengluan was in a bad mood, and Jin Jiande could not speak up again.

On the way back to Nanze, Kim Geon-deok had planned to find an opportunity to send someone to assassinate the national advisor.

Unfortunately, he had never had the chance, and now this charlatan was spouting nonsense again, which made Jin Jiande even angrier. He cursed inwardly.

'That charlatan! He's nothing! I think he's the one swindling Qin Ze!'

Just as he was cursing under his breath, Jin Fengluan's laughter rang out again: "Alright, you can go now."

"The weather has been nice these past few days. With nothing to do, I should go out for a spring outing."

"Yes, Your Majesty," Jin Jiande replied and slowly withdrew.

As soon as he stepped out of the palace gate, Jin Jiande's expression changed, and his eyelids twitched.

'Oh no! I think something bad is going to happen!'

'This old Taoist priest always gets the opposite result! Does this mean some terrible disaster is about to befall us?'

'No... I still need to talk to Dad about it... just in case.'

After taking a few steps, Jin Jiande gritted his teeth, his face becoming increasingly fierce.

'We still need to find a way to kill this old Taoist priest!'
