"How do you say that?"

"That day in front of the Shishan Hall, the Taoist priest publicly announced that Princess Rongfu did not possess the purple aura and was not a lucky star. In other words, this was a fact known to everyone. As long as Master Wu'en confirmed that Princess Rongfu was no longer a lucky star, the people in front of the Shishan Hall that day would naturally remember you and learn of your abilities. Word would spread from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, and you, Taoist priest, would naturally become famous."

Su Li continued, "Then, I'll have people spread the news that you were a direct disciple of the Taoist Kong Ming from over two hundred years ago. I think by then, you'll surely become famous, and you'll be able to take the most important step towards the rise of your Taoist sect..."

Taoist Kongxu's eyes lit up, and he laughed, "Very good, very good!"

Then he bowed solemnly to Su Li and said, "Thank you very much, Madam Pei!"

He is a good liar and eloquent, but he is not good at planning. Otherwise, why hasn't he fulfilled his master's last wish at this age?

When he was in Taohua Village, he thought that Mrs. Pei was his nemesis. Unexpectedly, she was not his nemesis but his lucky star. Fortunately, he did not offend her at the beginning.

Actually, when you think about it, it was because Mrs. Pei was so magnanimous that she didn't argue with him.

Su Li shook his head and smiled, "It's just a small favor, Taoist priest, there's no need to do this..."

At this moment, Xiao Wu came out from behind the screen: "Madam, she's out."

What Xiaowu was talking about was naturally Prince Chun.

He continued, "They came out together. Prince Chun was wearing silver clothes."

Prince Chun and Xu Yu are about the same age. Taoist Kongxu doesn't know Prince Chun, so he can't tell which one is the real one. These words are meant to tell him who Prince Chun is.

Su Li and Taoist Kongxu looked at each other and immediately walked out of the private room.

The two pretended to be polite in front of the private room door: "Master, your foresight is amazing. I really admire you."

Taoist Kongxu looked mysterious and profound: "Mrs. Pei, you are too kind..."

While they were being polite, Prince Chun and Xu Yu also came closer.

When Prince Chun recognized Su Li, he was a little surprised. He then smiled and nodded at her as a greeting, and then went downstairs without stopping.

Su Li knew that he didn't want her to bow. She looked at Taoist Kongxu and was relieved when she saw him blink. He had seen it clearly...

The two waited for a while and then returned to the private room.

"how?"

Taoist Kongxu frowned and shook his head: "There is no purple energy on him."

"No purple aura? Could it be that I guessed wrong? Is he actually Concubine Xiao's biological son?"

But whether in the original novel or what she saw, Concubine Xiao's attitude towards Princess Rongfu and Prince Chun was really strange.

If he was so kind to Princess Rongfu, who was not his biological child, how could he be so cold-blooded to his own child whom he had raised since childhood?

Su Li was really puzzled by this.

Or was it that she only guessed half right, that Princess Rongfu was the daughter of Concubine Xiao, that Prince Chun was a child brought from outside the palace, and that Empress Renxuan's biological son, the real lucky star, had been replaced somewhere unknown, or had been killed?

"But..." Taoist Kongxu stroked his fake white beard and looked at Su Li. "I found that Prince Chun's face is somewhat similar to yours. Both of them have indescribable features. However, he has something more than you."

Su Li was curious: "What's extra?"

She didn't think there was anything wrong with the facial resemblance. Just like beautiful women always have similarities, what's so strange about that?

"A bit, tsk! He looks a bit like an emperor..."

"Oh..." Su Li didn't think there was anything strange about it. After all, in the original novel, didn't Prince Chun become the emperor in the end?

It is true that fortune-telling is a magical art. Of course, it must be said that Taoist Kongxu does have some skills.

"Master, it's enough for you and me to know that Prince Chun has the appearance of an emperor. You will soon become famous, and your words will naturally carry more weight than before. If this is made public, it may bring disaster to both you and Prince Chun."

Not to mention what Prince Chun's competitors might do, even the emperor might suspect that Taoist Kongxu and Prince Chun have some ill intentions.

In the original novel, Prince Chun was a wise ruler who was even more benevolent than Emperor Jing. If she changed Prince Chun's fate because of her and Taoist Kongxu, she would be truly guilty.

Moreover, in the original novel, among the five princes of Emperor Jing, only Prince Ning, Prince Rui and Prince Chun had the ambition to compete for the throne and had the ability to do so.

Now that Prince Rui has been deposed, the most likely candidates are Prince Ning and Prince Chun.

If Prince Chun was also deposed, who else would have the strength to compete with Prince Ning? Prince Ning becoming emperor was not what she wanted to see.

Therefore, even if she did not help Prince Chun, she could not cause trouble for him.

Taoist Kongxu naturally knew the pros and cons of this and nodded repeatedly: "I know, I know!"

This is only Mrs. Pei. If someone else were here, he would definitely not say these words.

"Shall we leave now?"

Su Li nodded: "It's getting late, let's go back now..."

Master Wu En must have entered the palace by now, so she had to go to the Duke's Mansion to find out what news he had.

Inside Yaohua Palace.

Concubine Xiao looked haggard and uneasy, pacing back and forth in the palace.

"Mammy, has that old bald donkey really entered the palace? Has the emperor summoned him?"

She sent all her assassins to kill him, but now he has entered the palace safely, and she has lost all her assassins.

Nanny Wen's expression was equally grim: "My Lady, it's true..."

"What should we do? What should Rong'er do?"

"Your Majesty..." Nanny Wen pondered for a long time, but ultimately did not say the words of persuasion in her heart.

"My lady, Qingmei is here."

At this time, a maid came in from outside to report.

Concubine Xiao frowned and said, "Let her in."

Half a month ago, after Princess Rongfu was once again confined by the emperor, she sent Qingmei to serve her and also to deliver messages to her and Rong'er. Qingmei came, thinking that something happened to Rong'er.

The maid respectfully withdrew, and soon Qingmei came in: "This servant greets the Majesty, may the Majesty live long and happy."

"What happened to Rong'er?"

Qingmei replied respectfully, "Your Majesty, the princess just learned that Master Wuen has entered the palace. She is very scared and wants to see you."

Nanny Wen frowned fiercely. The princess was so selfish that she didn't consider the situation of the queen or the prince at all.

Concubine Xiao was also a little embarrassed: "Rong'er is now under house arrest by the emperor and cannot see anyone. How can I see her?"

It would have been fine in the past, but now, her son had angered the emperor and was demoted to a prince. She had also angered the emperor, and even Concubine Li had fallen out of favor.

She doesn't even have anyone she can talk to around the emperor now. Even if there is, she doesn't dare to act recklessly. If she displeases the emperor again, what will happen to her son?
