"Yes!" Shen Furong took the token and ran out excitedly.
Princess is so kind; she's always willing to stand up for women like them who suffer.
If the princess hadn't saved her back then, she would have certainly lived a very miserable life.
Shen Furong felt particularly lucky, as she was the only maidservant by the princess's side.
Others, though grateful to the princess, could at most erect a longevity tablet for her, burn incense and pray daily, asking all the gods and Buddhas to bless her with peace and good fortune.
And she? Not only could she do that, but she could also serve the princess personally and repay her kindness to the best of her ability.
With Ye Xianya's help, the Dong family's matter was quickly resolved.
The emperor ordered Dong Ming to be dismissed from his post as Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies, stripped of his official rank, demoted to a commoner, and exiled three thousand li away.
The second wife, Hua, was sentenced to be executed in the autumn for poisoning her mistress, causing her death, and also harming her mother-in-law and the eldest daughter in the household.
This incident quickly became the talk of the town.
Ye Xianya's business is doing even better than before.
More and more people are coming to her for fortune telling, especially the daughters of high-ranking officials and nobles.
These daughters of officials were either illegitimate daughters who were mistreated by their stepmothers, or legitimate daughters who were mistreated by their stepmothers. In short, there were many sordid things in these families, and death was a common occurrence.
To Ye Xianya's surprise, after she performed divination for several young ladies, the ladies of the high-ranking officials and nobles in the capital became much more restrained.
Those who used to beat and scold their illegitimate children at will no longer dare to do so.
When officials want to take concubines, they should think twice and see if they are fortunate enough to enjoy the blessings of having multiple wives, lest they cause discord in their households and end up like Dong Ming.
"When dealing with ordinary people, my status as a princess is far more effective than that of the former sect leader of the Taiyi Sect," Ye Xianya said with a smile. "Of course, I mean the former sect leader!"
"The Taiyi Sect is too far away and too high up for ordinary people. It's something that can only be looked at but not reached. As the saying goes, a local official is more powerful than a distant one. You are a princess of the dynasty, so you have a lot of influence over these people." Qi Chengshuo had been accompanying Ye Xianya to have her fortune told these days.
He had no knowledge of metaphysics and couldn't tell fortunes; he was just using it as an excuse to stay by her side.
"Zhengzheng and I have almost finished the spiritual herbs and fruits we brought out from Flying Snow Valley last time. I wonder if there are any other ancient sect ruins in this world. If they are like Flying Snow Valley, with no damage and still containing spiritual herbs and fruits, that would be perfect." Ye Xianya said while calculating with her fingers.
Unfortunately, these ancient sects had nothing to do with her, and the time that had passed was too far, so everything she thought about it was just a blur.
"You finished eating so quickly!" Qi Chengshuo was slightly taken aback.
That day they obtained a great many spiritual herbs and fruits, filling all their Qiankun bags.
Ye Xianya gave half of it to the Grand Elder, asking him to take it back to train the disciples of the Taiyi Sect.
Qi Chengshuo didn't need these things to aid his cultivation. Ye Xianya wanted to give them to him, but he refused and left them all for her.
I can't believe it's all gone in just two months!
"I need to recover my strength as soon as possible, so I can't be stingy. Besides... if I don't eat the spiritual flowers and fruits quickly after picking them, a lot of their spiritual energy will dissipate. Even if I put them in my Qiankun bag, some will still dissipate. So... Zhengzheng and I have been eating as much as we can to avoid wasting them. I checked today and they're almost empty," Ye Xianya said, sounding a little aggrieved.
Qi Chengshuo was stunned when he heard her speak to him in this tone for the first time.
"What's wrong?" Ye Xianya turned her head and asked.
Qi Chengshuo blushed immediately: "It's nothing, but... have you figured out where the ruins of an ancient sect are?"
"I can't calculate it, since it has nothing to do with me. There's no cause and effect, so it's naturally difficult to predict." Ye Xianya shook her head.
She is not omnipotent.
Qi Chengshuo couldn't bear to see her sad and upset, and for some reason, some images suddenly flashed into his mind.
“Immortal Sprout…I might know where you can find the spiritual herbs and fruits you want to eat!” Qi Chengshuo said, raising his head.
"Where are you?" Ye Xianya subconsciously reached out and grabbed Qi Chengshuo's arm.
“Immortal Spirit Mountain, the Immortal Spirit Mountain in the South China Sea should be the site of an ancient sect. Besides that… there are several other places. However, we can go and take a look at Immortal Spirit Mountain first. Immortal Spirit Mountain is in the sea, far from the land, and no one has set foot there. There should be many treasures on it that have not yet been discovered,” Qi Chengshuo said.
"Then let's go to Xianling Mountain in a few days." Ye Xianya was particularly excited.
If she eats more of these foods, she'll be able to recover her strength faster.
However, Ye Xianya was worried because her mother's baby was already over seven months old.
After returning from Xianling Mountain, she will not leave the capital again for a while, waiting until Ye Miaoyun gives birth.
Ye Xianya didn't ask Qi Chengshuo how he knew that Xianling Mountain was the site of an ancient sect.
Everyone has their own secrets, and asking too many questions is actually not a good thing.
Moreover, Qi Chengshuo's situation is somewhat special. Even he himself is sometimes in a daze, so even if she asks him, he probably won't be able to give a clear answer.
Since he is a reincarnation of a deity, it is quite normal for him to occasionally awaken some memories of his past life and know that there are treasures in Immortal Spirit Mountain.
All she needs is food; she doesn't need to worry about anything else.
"I'll send a message to Zhengzheng, telling it to come back in a few days and take us to Immortal Spirit Mountain." After saying that, Ye Xianya quickly took out a communication talisman.
A few days ago, Tangtang emerged from seclusion. She successfully transformed into human form and became a beautiful young girl, who looked to be about the same age as Ye Xianya.
She's different now; she's no longer the "little child" who needed Ye Xianya's protection.
Tangtang was no longer as dependent on Ye Xianya as before. In addition, having transformed into human form, she found everything interesting and said she wanted to travel around the Great Yan Dynasty, so she took Zhengzheng with her.
The two spirit beasts often sent messages to Ye Xianya, telling her about their experiences in various places.
I've been gone for over two months, it's time to come back.
"It's almost time, I should go to the courtyard to tell fortunes for people." Ye Xianya said, winking at Qi Chengshuo: "Do you still want to learn fortune telling from me?"
This person has been following her for over two months, watching for so long, yet he hasn't learned even the slightest bit, which shows he has no talent whatsoever.
Ye Xianya suspected that Qi Chengshuo wanted to follow her on purpose and stay by her side, so he used learning fortune-telling as an excuse.
"Of course I'll go. I don't have much talent. If I want to get started, I have to listen more, watch more, and learn more. I can't slack off in the slightest. Don't worry, Fairy Sprout, I will just watch and not say anything, just like before. I will definitely not disturb your fortune telling."
He's already said it this way, what else can Ye Xianya say?
