However, these words did affect Hongli's mood, and he did not choose to stay overnight this time.
With the people who had come with him, Hongli returned to Jiuzhou Qingyan.
Chen Yuwei smiled as she saw Hongli off. The first thing she did upon returning was to instruct Xia He to go and explain the situation to the people at the Imperial Observatory.
"No matter what, we can't mess this up," Consort Ning, with her weakness, is a very useful pawn.
Putting everything else aside, Chen Yuwei is willing to go to any lengths for her son, so she's not afraid that Consort Ning might choose to betray her.
When Xia He heard her master mention the Imperial Observatory, she quickly nodded to indicate that she understood.
“Those people are the most pragmatic. They understand better than anyone else what to say about Prince Yongyue this time.”
It's not fair to say there are absolutely no problems, otherwise it would contradict one's previous statement about wanting to overcome obstacles. But it's also not fair to say there are only problems, as that would damage the relationship between the royal father and son.
It would be best to say something ambiguous, something that allows for both advancement and retreat, so that no matter what happens in the future, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau can find a way to justify what was said today.
"I hope so. I hope that what I want to achieve will not go wrong."
Looking at her beautiful nails, Chen Yuwei thought to herself that if things didn't go well, it would severely damage her credibility, and she would still need Consort Ning as a henchman.
On the other hand, Hongli, who had returned to Kyushu Qingyan, did not sleep well all night.
It wasn't because of Yongrong; it was just a matter of randomly choosing a consort.
The main concern was Yongyue; Hongli was still afraid that Yongyue's return to the palace would affect him.
Hongli could not completely believe Xiang Ke's theory, but he could not completely disbelieve it either.
Ultimately, it was because Hongli was afraid of death and cherished his life, and did not want others to threaten him.
"Gao Yu, go and invite the people from the Imperial Observatory. I have something to ask them."
He summoned Gao Yu, who served him personally, gave her some instructions, and then simply put on his clothes and went to the bedside.
Why summon the Imperial Observatory in the middle of the night? Is the Emperor perhaps feeling unwell?
Gao Yu bowed her head and replied, "Yes." As she left, she didn't forget to have the other eunuchs bring some soup from the small kitchen.
Soon, officials from the Imperial Observatory, dressed in court attire, entered.
Hongli sat cross-legged, twirling the prayer beads on his wrist. "Have the recent celestial phenomena caused any problems?"
"Your Majesty, there is no problem. The imperial star is high in the sky, surrounded by many other stars, which is a rare auspicious sign."
"I intend to bring Yongyue back to the palace. I wonder if this will have any impact on the imperial star?"
With a swift flick of his wrist, the string of beads wrapped around his wrist several times.
After a long pause, the Imperial Astronomical Bureau official, bowing respectfully, replied, "There has been a slight movement, but the Imperial Star remains stable, and no major incidents will occur."
The implication is that some minor incidents may occur, but the impact will be minimal.
