Compared to them, because they already knew the result, the hearts of the others were as calm as a pool of stagnant water, which easily diluted the atmosphere that should have been extremely tense.

In the eyes of the director of the Imperial Observatory, Xiao Yanli's words could not be considered a hint, but were almost explicit.

His hand holding the compass trembled slightly, and the compass needle began to move.

Several people held their breath. The pointer swayed left and right, faster and faster. Xiao Chuji and Xiao Yanli's eyes were almost fixed on it.

The same goes for the Director of the Imperial Observatory.

He could still clearly hear his own heartbeat like a drum.

After a long time, the pointer finally slowed down, as if it was about to stop at any time. The director of the Imperial Observatory was suddenly worried.

Judging from this, the person it finally points to is most likely Xiao Chuji!

He raised his eyelids and looked tentatively, and saw that Xiao Chuji's mouth corners were raised, and he looked very satisfied.

But in contrast, Xiao Yanli's face was terrifyingly gloomy, especially his eyes. The director of the Imperial Observatory had no doubt that if it was Xiao Chuji who ended up being the one, Xiao Yanli would skin himself alive.

The Sixth Prince, who has regained his consciousness, is much more terrifying than the Second Prince.

The director of the Imperial Observatory was thinking this and began to hesitate.

How about doing something a little more?

The pointer had stopped, and the last thing it pointed at was Xiao Chuji.

Xiao Chuji glanced at Xiao Yanli with pride in his eyes. The others couldn't see the result clearly, but they could guess it from their expressions.

Everyone was a little surprised for a moment.

According to Zhiyu's thoughts, the final result should have been Xiao Yanli's, but now the situation is completely different.

There is definitely nothing wrong with the young fish, so the problem can only be with the director of the Imperial Observatory.

The emperor stared at the back of the director of the Imperial Observatory with a deep gaze.

Completely unaware that his official position was in jeopardy, the director of the Imperial Observatory was staring at the compass needle, hoping to make the needle feel guilty and turn back on its own.

But obviously the pointer has no heart.

"How is it?"

The silence lasted too long, and the emperor couldn't help but frown and urge him on.

Xiao Chuji didn't know why the director of the Imperial Observatory didn't say anything since the result was out. He looked at Xiao Yanli again before taking a step forward and preparing to reply.

The director of the Imperial Observatory took a deep breath and was about to turn the mechanism, but he saw the pointer that had stopped suddenly move and finally pointed steadily at Xiao Yanli.

"father……"

"Your Majesty, it's the Sixth Prince. His horoscope and Miss Song's are a perfect match. It's a perfect match!"

The director of the Imperial Observatory spoke before Xiao Chuji, and Xiao Chuji's face suddenly changed.

"What nonsense are you talking about? You were clearly referring to..."

"Second Prince," the Imperial Observatory's Director interrupted him, "the needle hasn't completely stopped yet, so it can't be counted."

Xiao Chuji's face suddenly became extremely ugly.

The expressions on his and Xiao Yanli's faces seemed to have been exchanged. Xiao Yanli took a few steps forward with a smug smile on his face.

"Impossible! It didn't move for such a long time. It's obvious that you did something!"

"Your Highness, please be careful with your words. Everything is God's will. I absolutely cannot lie."

The director of the Imperial Observatory spoke very frankly and even pointed the compass in the direction of Xiao Chuji, not afraid of his inspection at all.

The compass mechanism is very sophisticated. Before it is activated, you cannot tell the location unless you know the location in advance.

That’s why the Director of the Imperial Observatory has such confidence.

He wanted to make some changes, but before he could do anything, the compass changed by itself. This was certainly God's will.

Xiao Chuji looked at it for a long time and confirmed that there was no mechanism on the compass. His face was ugly and a little puzzled.

It has clearly stopped for a while, how come it changed again?

He had just tried it himself, but couldn't move it with his hands.

No matter how confused Xiao Chuji was, the result was already decided. The emperor took a look at the compass and ordered Xiao Lingyu to draft an imperial edict, giving Song Shiwei to Xiao Chuji, but not as the prince's principal wife, but as a concubine.

Firstly, Song Shiwei's status was not enough to be the principal wife. Secondly, since Xiao Yanli was asking for her hand in marriage in the name of bringing good luck, then naturally the sooner the better.

The rites for a principal wife were too complicated, but those for a concubine were different.

Xiao Yanli had no objection to this. For him, as long as he could control Song Shiwei in his own hands, it would be fine. As for the main wife or concubine, they were not within his consideration.

After such a long time, it's time for the emperor to rest.

Everyone left one by one, and soon only the emperor, He Yanting and Jiang Zhiyu were left.

[It's definitely not a misunderstanding.]

The luck between the hero and heroine has begun to dissipate, and the bond between them is no longer as strong as described in the book.

Otherwise, there will be no situation of pointing at the wrong person. 】

[At this rate, their luck might be completely gone after returning from Nan Gu.]

[Yay!]

The smile on the emperor's face deepened.

He had been "bedridden" these days, and in addition to his own personal experience, his subordinates had also brought back a lot of valuable information.

Because they had no suspicion of their serious illness, they acted without vigilance.

Because of this, many things that had not been investigated clearly before have surfaced again.

Most of them are about Xiao Yanli.

Seeing all these incidents, the emperor was not only chilled but also frightened.

Yes, fear.

He actually felt a sense of fear for his son who had not yet come of age.

Apart from what he had learned from Jiang Zhiyu's thoughts before, that he would later kill his father, mother, brother, and friends, and establish the Zuiyue Cage, he was now secretly communicating with the two countries of Mobei and Nangu.

His men have even infiltrated the two countries and held high positions.

In addition, the people he had sent to assassinate Xiao Lingyu before had also been investigated clearly. They were a secret killer organization in the martial arts world. They were notorious in the martial arts world, but everyone feared them.

He was in the highest position in the government and in the highest position in the world, and he had both, and he got the lion's share.

After reading the information, the emperor realized how outrageous the luck of the male and female protagonists described by Jiang Zhiyu was.

If someone else had accomplished even one thing, it would have been enough to leave a significant mark in history books, let alone this.

If I let him continue like this, I'm afraid I'll be forced to abdicate in a few years.

The emperor became more and more suspicious and more disgusted with Xiao Yanli.

If Xiao Yanli's luck really disappeared after returning from Nan Gu, he would be able to see the current situation clearly and behave himself, and the emperor would not mind sparing his life.

But if that is not possible, I am now in my prime and have no shortage of a prince.

What's more, Yan Ting is here.

The emperor looked at He Yanting, who was talking to Jiang Zhiyu with a smile on his face and a gentle look in his eyes.

The emperor touched his chin and suddenly remembered that it seemed like he hadn't seen Yan Ting angry for a long time.
