Upon hearing Wei Shuyu's words, Prince Duan's eyes lit up: "You mean... our Chengshuo might have taken a liking to that girl?"
“Even I’m not sure!” Wei Shuyu shook her head and said, “It’s just that… Chengshuo never used to get close to any girls. A couple of years ago, when I asked him to find a girl for me, he refused outright.”
“Given his personality, the fact that he’s lingering around a young girl means… he’s probably really taken a liking to her.” Wei Shuyu said nervously, “Father knows that although Chengshuo is filial, he is also very opinionated. If he really has taken a liking to this girl, even if we ask him to marry one of those noble ladies, he probably won’t agree.”
She came from a prestigious family, so naturally she hoped her son could marry a noblewoman from a prominent family.
However, the son fell in love with a girl who performed fortune-telling in public.
Of course, this girl is also extremely capable, unlike ordinary women.
Wei Shuyu didn't know what to do either, so she could only ask her father-in-law to make a decision.
After all... her son was spoiled by his father-in-law and made all the decisions himself. People might not listen to what his mother said.
"This is a good thing. The Ye family didn't know Xiao Jiu's identity at the time, but they still accepted him as their son-in-law. This shows that this family is not the kind of people who chase after wealth and status or change their allegiance to others. Although this young lady from the Ye family is different from those noble ladies, she is also very capable. Our royal family is already extremely wealthy, so it doesn't matter if we don't marry a noble lady. As long as Cheng Shuo is happy, that's all that matters." Prince Duan said happily.
If it's his son's marriage, he, as the father, will naturally make the decision and will definitely let him marry a noblewoman from a prominent family.
But grandchildren are different.
When it came to Qi Chengshuo, Prince Duan would simply go along with him.
As long as my grandson is happy.
The grandson lost his father at a young age, which is already pitiful. If he marries a woman he doesn't like, wouldn't that be even more pitiful?
"With Father's words, I know what to do," Wei Shuyu nodded.
“When Chengshuo comes back, you can ask him if that girl is of marriageable age yet, so we can’t propose marriage. But it doesn’t matter. As long as Chengshuo likes her, we can wait.” Prince Duan laughed as he spoke. “I just don’t know if the girl will be interested in him. Cultivators think differently from us.”
Many people who embark on the path of cultivation do not talk about personal feelings; they only want to attain enlightenment and become immortals.
"I understand. I'll ask Chengshuo when he comes back tomorrow," Wei Shuyu nodded quickly.
With the painting by Ye Xianya, Qi Chengshuo and the people sent by Madam He that evening found He Qingyue, who was seriously injured, at the bottom of the cliff.
Although Madam He is over fifty years old, she is in good health. In addition, she accompanied her husband on military campaigns when she was young, so riding a horse is no problem for her. She has come to look for her grandson herself.
When Qi Chengshuo and the others carried the injured He Qingyue up and saw that he was still alive, Old Madam He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank God, we've finally found Qingyue." Old Madam He held back her tears and had He Qingyue carried onto the large carriage that had been prepared.
The accompanying doctor immediately went to treat He Qingyue's injuries.
He Qingyue was seriously injured, with a broken leg and internal injuries.
Although the He family brought renowned doctors, they could only temporarily stabilize his injuries and keep him alive; they could not cure him.
Fortunately, this place is only a little over a hundred miles away from Xuantian Temple, the foremost of the ten major Taoist sects in the suburbs of Beijing. It's not too far. They rushed there overnight and should be able to reach Xuantian Temple by tomorrow morning.
Taoist priests all possess medical skills, and some of them are extremely skilled, even surpassing doctors outside the palace or the imperial physicians.
There are such Taoist priests in Xuantian Temple.
However, in Qi Chengshuo's mind, the most powerful one was Ye Xianya.
The next morning, Qi Chengshuo escorted them to Xuantian Temple before returning to the capital.
By the time he arrived at Peach Blossom Abode, it was almost noon.
Ye Xianya only needs a few more divinations to complete today's task.
"How is it, Chengshuo? Have you found He Qingyue? Is he still alive?" Qi Jiu asked as soon as Qi Chengshuo came in.
Although Ye Xianya's calculations were certainly accurate, Qi Jiu still couldn't help but ask.
"We found him. He's still alive, but his injuries are too severe. The doctors brought by the He family couldn't cure him, so they had to send him to Xuantian Temple," Qi Chengshuo replied with a smile.
"Those Taoist priests at Xuantian Temple are definitely not as good as our Xianya." Qi Jiu said with a proud look, "Our Xianya can do everything, and her medical skills are also superb. Today, an old lady who came to have her fortune told was seriously ill, and Xianya even prescribed a medicine for her."
"Old Madam He had an old Taoist priest she knew at Xuantian Temple. The previous Marquis of the He family, who was also He Qingyue's grandfather, was seriously injured and did not recover even after recuperating in the southern border region for many days. Later, he returned to the capital and was cured by that old Taoist priest at Xuantian Temple. Old Madam He took He Qingyue to see that old Taoist priest for treatment."
After Qi Chengshuo finished speaking, he turned to look at Ye Xianya beside him.
She was telling fortunes for a young woman.
The woman was pregnant and, being her first child, wanted to know if she could have a smooth delivery.
“My lady, according to my calculations, your child will be born on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month. That day is the birthday of an elder in your family. You are going to the outskirts of the capital to celebrate the birthday. I advise you not to go. Stay at home and prepare for childbirth. You need someone to accompany you. Do not leave you alone at home. Find a midwife as soon as possible to ensure a safe delivery.”
Ye Xianya had already seen a bloody scene in the calculated image.
This young woman went into labor suddenly while traveling with her family to celebrate a birthday. Although the child was born, the mother could not be saved.
She showed the woman a way out, which meant that everything changed from then on.
She couldn't guarantee that nothing unexpected would happen between today and the woman's delivery.
"Let me draw you a talisman," Ye Xianya said softly.
"Okay, thank you very much, Immortal Master." The woman nodded quickly. However, she had also heard that although Immortal Master Ye's talismans and protective amulets were effective, they were quite expensive.
"May I ask, Immortal Master, how much silver do you need?" the woman asked cautiously.
"One tael of silver will suffice!" Ye Xianya didn't ask for much from these ordinary people; she was just asking for a token amount.
"I'll take this talisman, thank you so much, Immortal Master," the woman said gratefully.
One or two taels of silver was not cheap for her, but she could still afford it if she gritted her teeth. As long as she could give birth to the child safely, it would be worth it no matter how expensive it was.
"Our Xianya is truly kind-hearted, especially towards ordinary people who come to her for fortune-telling and help," Qi Jiu said with a smile.
Qi Chengshuo nodded upon hearing this, and was about to speak when he noticed that Wu Muzhi, the prefect of the Jingzhao government, had entered with his men.
"This humble official greets Ninth Master and Young Master." Wu Muzhi hurriedly stepped forward and bowed.
