Duke Jin and the others looked unhappy. Others might not know, but didn't they themselves know that the story that Bai Yuzhi was a demon concubine was purely a fabrication they made up to threaten Emperor Qin Huan?
The Imperial Preceptor is an expert in astrology and fortune-telling, and he can tell who is good and who is bad at a glance. If the Imperial Preceptor were to let it go, then the story of the evil concubine would definitely be untenable.
The Duke of Jin struggled desperately: "The Imperial Master must be exhausted after traveling abroad. Moreover, he is already old. It is better to let him rest for a few days."
Emperor Qin Huan looked at the Imperial Master.
The Imperial Master is indeed old. When Emperor Qin Huan met him as a teenager, his hair and beard were already completely white. He is probably over a hundred years old now, so he is not in a hurry in these two days.
Unexpectedly, the national teacher shook his head and laughed.
"I know that Your Majesty has gone to look for me, but the world is at peace now, and I don't think Your Majesty really needs my service, so I've been having fun and haven't returned yet."
"Oh? Then why did the Imperial Master return the night before?"
The Imperial Master was unfathomable and bowed his head slightly. "The situation in the world has changed. An imperial star has been born. I can't calculate the location of the imperial star, so I have been following the hexagram all the way here. It's not a coincidence."
Emperor Qin Huan's eyes lit up. Emperor Star, that's how the Imperial Master had found him. Could it be that he was being protected...
The Duke of Jin's face was extremely grim. He was well aware of the Imperial Preceptor's abilities; his horoscopes were undeniably accurate. It was precisely for this reason that he had so tirelessly followed Emperor Qin Huan, precisely because of the Imperial Preceptor's guidance. The Imperial Preceptor had said that day that while he didn't have the fate of an emperor, he could still be made a prince, a general, or a minister, and his descendants would be in harmony with Heaven's will and receive divine support.
But now that the Imperial Master has appeared here, it will do more harm than good to his plan. How can this be called help from heaven?
"Back when Your Majesty was engaged in campaigns, I calculated that although Your Majesty possessed the qualities of an emperor, you lacked the ability to pass down legacy. I tried my best to resolve your childless fate, but was unable to do so. Feeling my abilities were limited, I was unworthy of the title of Imperial Master, so I left without saying goodbye and traveled the world."
Having said that, the Imperial Master sighed imperceptibly, but when he thought of the recent astrological signs, his expression relaxed again.
He continued, "I originally thought that this horoscope hadn't changed in twenty years and that it was impossible to reverse it. However, ten months ago, I noticed something unusual in the sky. The Purple Star was flickering frequently, while the Tan Lang Star was gradually fading. Just the night before, the Emperor Star was high in the sky. Seeing this as a sign of good fortune, I hurried back to the capital."
"Master, could you please take a look at the young child in my arms? This is my eldest son, Hu'an. He was born the night before, but he was born at dawn. I wonder if this is the location of the Emperor Star that Master spoke of?"
Emperor Qin Huan personally got off the dragon throne and handed Hu An to the imperial teacher. However, the imperial teacher did not take Hu An, but let the child lie in Emperor Qin Huan's arms.
After just one glance, the Imperial Master laughed out loud, a rare occurrence for him.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty. The Emperor's eldest son is destined by the Emperor's Star. The Emperor's Star's arrival is always accompanied by auspicious signs. The morning glow yesterday must have been an auspicious sign for the birth of the Emperor's eldest son."
Imperial Star. Since ancient times, not all emperors have the fate of an Imperial Star, but everyone with the fate of an Imperial Star will be an emperor who follows the will of heaven.
The founding emperor and all the wise rulers of the time basically have the characteristics of an imperial star.
Emperor Qin Huan laughed heartily, and felt that all the depression he had felt in the court today because of Duke Jin and others disappeared completely. Looking at Hu An in his arms, he felt that the fact that he had no children for so many years might really be as Bai Yuzhi said, that it was the child who chose his parents in heaven.
Otherwise, how could the only child be so successful, with the same imperial destiny as Emperor Qin Huan.
But there was one thing Emperor Qin Huan couldn't help but ask: "The Imperial Master just said that I was destined to be childless?"
The Imperial Master nodded. "That's right. Your Majesty is a genius of unparalleled talent, yet you are destined to be childless. I was absolutely right. Not only that, I also predicted that there was a Mars in the harem causing chaos, which would disrupt the situation in the Great Qin."
These were all secrets of heaven, and the Imperial Master, as an outsider who had penetrated the secrets of heaven, could not interfere. So even if he had calculated this, he could not tell Emperor Qin Huan.
But now it’s different. The fate of Emperor Qin Huan and the Qin Dynasty has been reversed, and the previous "secrets" are no longer secrets. Therefore, it’s no big deal for the national teacher to tell Emperor Qin Huan everything, and there will be no backlash.
"Can this destiny be reversed?" The Prime Minister was very curious.
"Most people can't," the Imperial Master explained to the court officials, "but Your Majesty is the Emperor of Heaven, and your destiny is constantly changing. As long as you meet a compatible Phoenix Fate, you can change your fate and achieve all five blessings."
Fengluan fate, changing fate against the will of heaven...
Emperor Qin Huan was stunned. This so-called Fengluan fate certainly did not refer to the deposed Queen Su. If the deposed Queen Su had a Fengluan fate that matched Emperor Qin Huan, then how could she have no offspring for so many years?
He looked at the Imperial Master and had an absurd guess.
The Imperial Master was a very important figure, so he naturally understood what Emperor Qin Huan was thinking and nodded in agreement with his guess.
"Your Majesty is right. This Fengluan is the mother of the Emperor's eldest son, the current Imperial Concubine Heng."
Yue Chengliu really couldn't believe this. The Phoenix Fate and the Emperor Star that were predicted by the National Master directly killed all possibilities of him becoming the adopted son of Emperor Qin Huan and inheriting the throne!
"But Concubine Heng was just a servant in the palace of the deposed Empress Su. How could she have such a noble phoenix fate?!"
The Imperial Preceptor didn't even look at Yue Chengliu, but simply replied indifferently, "Your Majesty was born into a poor family, and your father was from a farming family. This proves that fate is not determined by birth."
Yue Chengliu was astonished that this Imperial Preceptor, whom he had never met before, could tell without even asking that he was the son of the Duke of Jin. Because among all the civil and military officials in the court, the Duke of Jin was the only one who came from a traditional farming background.
After the Imperial Master finished speaking, he addressed Emperor Qin Huan, who was holding Hu An in his arms, saying, "Your Majesty, this will likely be my last time returning to the palace. Afterwards, I will be preparing to sit in meditation and attain enlightenment. Therefore, I need to tell Your Majesty three things beforehand. If Your Majesty trusts me, please remember these."
Emperor Qin Huan said sternly, "Master, please speak."
"First, Your Majesty can appoint the eldest son as Crown Prince as soon as possible. This is in accordance with the will of Heaven. The eldest son is the one who breaks Your Majesty's fate of being childless, and he is also the Emperor Star who has been born. He will surely achieve great things in the future and ensure that our Great Qin will prosper for a hundred years."
This was something Emperor Qin Huan had been prepared to do a long time ago, so he naturally agreed.
"Secondly, a girl born under the Phoenix Fate will give birth to an Emperor Star. This is a great blessing. Your Majesty can make her your empress. Allow her to be true to herself, dislike what she hates, and please what she desires. You will surely be able to eliminate the traitor."
This means that Bai Yuzhi has a noble destiny, and asks Emperor Qin Huan to trust her, and Emperor Qin Huan also agreed.
"This last point, two generations apart, the true and false phoenixes clash, one flourishes while the other declines. If the true phoenix declines, the imperial star will fall. Your Majesty must be careful."
After saying the last sentence, the Imperial Master actually vomited blood, but in a moment he ignored Emperor Qin Huan's attempts to keep him and walked off the stage, leaving behind a prophecy of a lovebirds from two lifetimes.
