Liu Tan was stunned by Liu Che's move. He subconsciously knelt down beside Liu Che, looked up at his father's resolute chin, and for a moment he forgot what he was going to say.

Liu Che held Liu Tan's hand without much force, but his eyes were so cold that Bu Fan couldn't help but tremble.

Liu Che said in a deep voice, "Come here, search the Northern Border Palace, especially the Northern Border King's bedroom."

Liu Tan remained silent. At this point, the matter was no longer under his control.

Liu Dan has committed a serious taboo, and whether he can survive depends on whether he can really find something.

In fact, Liu Tan was also a little puzzled. Why did Liu Dan hate him so much?

If it was Liu Fuling or Liu Bo, he could really understand it.

After all, Liu Fuling was a popular candidate for the crown prince back then, but he ended up kicking him to Qi to become a vassal king. Liu Tan himself certainly didn't think there was anything wrong with being a vassal king, but Liu Fuling obviously didn't think so.

As for Liu Bo, it's even easier to understand. His entire maternal family was wiped out. He lost his mother and uncle. It's strange that he can be happy! He must be crazy and want revenge.

But Liu Dan had no conflict with him, and Liu Tan had never even met him. What did it mean that he hated him so much?

Just when Liu Tan was wondering, Lu Xuan came over.

Only then did Liu Che bring Liu Tan in and say, "Let him in."

Not long after, Liu Tan saw Lu Xuan striding in with a solemn expression. After entering, he first glanced at Liu Tan and found that Liu Tan was sitting next to Liu Che, and at a very close distance. He felt relieved and said with a bow, "Your Majesty, I just saw someone starting to search the palace..."

"I ordered it."

Lu Xuan looked at Liu Che's indifferent expression and knew that something big must have happened, otherwise Liu Che would not be so indifferent to him.

Although perhaps because of his relationship with Liu Tan, the Emperor was always hot and cold towards him, it was undeniable that Liu Che was quite nice to him. After all, he basically agreed to all his requests and did not make any excessive demands.

He sat down in his seat obediently and looked at Liu Tan, asking with his eyes what had happened.

Liu Tan glanced at Liu Che, who then asked, "Since you were ordered by the King of Yan to come here and frame the King of the Northern Territory, why did you suddenly change your words just now?"

While Liu Tan was asking questions, he glanced at Miao Rui beside him. Miao Rui immediately reacted and cautiously ran to Lu Xuan and whispered a few words to him.

Lu Xuan instantly entered a state of rage that was visibly evident to the naked eye, but this state only lasted for a moment before he quickly suppressed it.

If it were just him and Liu Tan, he would definitely have already started planning how to kill the King of Yan.

But at this moment, Liu Che was here, so no matter what ideas he had, he had to put them aside first, see what Liu Che meant, and then decide what to do.

After hearing what Liu Che said, the Taoist priest smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty may not believe me, but I am not talking nonsense. I personally witnessed the dimming of the Imperial Star and the brightening of Mars, and so I told the King of Yan. He then mistakenly believed that the King of the Northern Territory was the reincarnation of Mars. Unexpectedly, he was wrong. The King of the Northern Territory has a majestic forehead, and his eyes are as bright and clear as the autumn moon. This is a sign of good fortune and a variable. Those with this sign are not only not the reincarnation of Mars, but can actually eliminate disasters and resolve doubts for the Imperial Star. However..."

The Taoist priest looked puzzled when he said this: "I have observed the stars at night before, but I have never seen the star of dissolution next to the Emperor Star. This..."

Liu Tan's heart skipped a beat. If that astrology theory wasn't nonsense, then he wasn't from this world. It was perfectly normal that his astrology couldn't be seen.

At this time, Liu Che's gaze also shifted to Liu Tan's face. Liu Tan was even more nervous and couldn't help muttering, "I didn't see it before. Maybe it's because you are not good enough in learning."

After hearing this, Liu Che believed it. After all, the alchemist himself had admitted that he was not very skilled.

Even so, he couldn't help but ask, "You said the King of the North can help me resolve my misfortunes and doubts?"

The Taoist priest looked at Liu Tan seriously again and said firmly, "Yes, His Royal Highness the King of the Northern Territory has great luck, so he must..."

"Your Majesty, it's better not to trust him." Liu Tan couldn't help but say, "If Your Majesty has any doubts, why not ask the Grand Astrologer to go and take a look?"

Liu Che's face darkened. "Grand Astrologer? Grand Astrologer never predicted these things."

Liu Tan said softly, "The Grand Diviner is a professional, and more trustworthy than this unearthly alchemist who just popped up out of nowhere. Father is now in good health, not like his Emperor Star is dimming. This alchemist changed his words so quickly, perhaps just to ask Father to spare his life."

Regardless of whether this alchemist was trying to save his own life or really saw something, Liu Tan couldn't let him continue.

Oh, the King of the North is blessed with great luck, but what about the Emperor? What about the Crown Prince? The only people blessed with great luck in this world are Liu Che and Liu Ju. No one else can expect bad luck.

Even if it was Liu Tan, it was useless for him to express his indifference to the world so sincerely. Once the seeds of doubt were planted, they would take root and sprout sooner or later.

Liu Che hesitated a bit after hearing this and waved his hand: "Take him away."

In the end, the alchemist's life was not taken.

Liu Che had no other thoughts about what the alchemist said about Liu Tan's great luck. In his opinion, a god who came to the earth must be different from others.

No matter how many times Liu Tan denied it, his explanations for some things were too far-fetched. Things that did not belong to this era appeared one after another. How could Liu Che look at this matter soberly?

Liu Che thought for a moment, then wrote two imperial edicts and handed them to Bu Fan, saying, "Order them to be sent to Chang'an at full speed."

After writing the edict, he turned to Liu Tan and said, "I have ordered people to arrest Liu Dan and bring him to the capital. You don't have to worry about him anymore."

Liu Tan looked up at Liu Che and asked hesitantly, "Father... Prince of Yan..."

Liu Che said calmly, "There will be no more King of Yan in the future."

Liu Tan whispered, "We haven't found any evidence yet."

Liu Che glanced at Liu Tan and said, "Since he has this intention, it is only a matter of time. Such an unfilial and unbrotherly person is not fit to be king. This matter cannot be tolerated. Don't be too soft-hearted."

Liu Tan kept silent. He was not soft-hearted at all. He was simply worried that if he didn't find the evidence, the Prince of Yan would cry bitterly when he arrived in Chang'an. What if the situation turned around?

He has always had a principle: either don't do it, or if you do it, you have to make sure the other party can't fight back. Otherwise, if you attack in a hurry and the other party turns the tables while he is not prepared, wouldn't that be a waste of opportunity?

If there is no definite evidence, he would rather pretend not to know and let King Yan continue to commit suicide, and then send him to death when he commits something big.

It’s a pity that Liu Che is here, so I’m afraid I can’t do this.

After all, witchcraft still has a big market these days, and everyone believes that curses can really kill people.

Liu Tan did not ask what the other edict was. In fact, the second edict was Liu Che asking the Taibu of Chang'an.

The Northern Kingdom's Grand Astrologer... Liu Che also knew about them. Although they were all trustworthy people selected by him and Liu Ju, Liu Tan did not seem to believe in these things. This position was more like a place for retirement. The King of the Northern Kingdom always treated his subordinates well, and the year-end bonus was said to be equivalent to their salary for several years.

However, it is also true that these people are not taken seriously. So in the past two years, the fortune teller of the Northern Border Kingdom has rarely observed the celestial phenomena. At most, he would predict good or bad luck. Huo Guang was still more concerned about this issue.

Therefore, Liu Che no longer had much faith in the abilities of these people. What Liu Tan had just said struck him to heart. The fortune tellers in Chang'an were all capable. Those who were not capable would have been replaced long ago, so he really needed to ask.

Not long after Liu Che finished writing these two edicts, Li Ling and Wei Deng came to ask for a meeting.

The emperor and his son gave the order in haste, and for a moment they didn't know who should do this. The most important thing is that the flowers and trees in the Changshou Palace were carefully designed, and if they really wanted to search through them, they would definitely be destroyed.

If the thing is found, the emperor will definitely be angry. If the thing is not found, the emperor will probably be angry too. No one wants to take this responsibility.

Li Ling and Wei Deng had been with Liu Tan for a long time, and they felt a little disgusted with those people's cowardice.

Why bother? Neither His Majesty the Emperor nor the King of the North are unreasonable people. Even if the Emperor is angry, there is still His Royal Highness the King of the North. His Royal Highness will definitely not let His Majesty punish people at will.

So the two of them led their teams to search separately. Li Ling had registered with Liu Che before and knew him better, so he was responsible for the Changshou Palace, while Wei Deng led his men to search the royal palace in the north.

Although both the Royal Palace and the Longevity Palace are very large, there are actually only a few main places that need to be found - the bedroom and the study.

Because witchcraft items will only be effective if they are buried in places where the owner often goes.

After the two of them came over, Liu Che immediately asked with concern: "How is it?"

Liu Tan closed his eyes and sighed. Looking at the expressions of Li Ling and Wei Deng, who seemed to be eager to lead their troops out and kill the King of Yan, he knew that this was probably true.

Li Ling and Wei Deng were so angry that they were speechless and simply threw the things out.

Those were two little wooden figures. Liu Tan stood up, walked over, picked them up and took a look. At first glance, he saw that the birth dates of the two figures were written on their bodies, and there were needles inserted in their limbs and hearts.

One of them was Liu Tan’s birth date. Fortunately, he had traveled through time long enough, otherwise Liu Tan might not have realized that the other party was cursing him, because his original birth date was not this.

But when he turned to look at the second one, he couldn't help but feel shocked and angry and couldn't help but say again: "Is he crazy?!"

Liu Che asked calmly, "What did you write? Where did you find it?"

Li Ling hesitated and said, "One was found in Your Highness's bedroom, and the other was found in the Palace of Longevity. They both have the birthdays of Your Majesty and Your Highness written on them."
