Before long, Master Wuye walked in from outside and performed a Buddhist salute to the Empress Dowager. Prince Yong, Zhao Shu, and Wei Tingsi stood up and bowed to him at the same time, and he returned the bow.
After the formalities were completed, the Empress Dowager said, "Prepare a seat for the Master."
Ji Yun had already moved a chair over, and Master Wu Ye thanked him and sat down.
"Master, we have invited you here today to inquire about your fortune," the Empress Dowager said. Zhao Shu was somewhat puzzled by her words. Shouldn't one consult a Taoist priest to inquire about one's fortune?
However, since no one else spoke up, she didn't feel comfortable asking.
Master Wuye did not shirk responsibility, but said, "Your Majesty, this humble monk paid the price of ten years of his lifespan to glimpse a glimpse of heavenly secrets. Our Emperor is destined to lose a Crown Prince."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Shu's heart pounded like a drum. She stared intently at Wu Ye, who glanced at her indifferently, a glance that seemed to see right through her.
Zhao Shu's heart pounded, but fortunately Wu Ye's gaze did not linger on her for long. It seemed that Wu Ye would not be so bored as to exchange his lifespan for the secret of her rebirth.
"So, Yi'er can escape this calamity?" the Empress Dowager asked.
Wu Ye nodded, "Indeed, the Seventh Prince's good fortune will continue, and everything will go smoothly from now on. Your Majesty, please rest assured."
It must be said that Master Wuye truly deserves his title. His Buddhist teachings are profound, and he was able to predict that a prince of Dayong would die in this era. In his previous life, it was Zhao Yi who died. In this life, he gave up his position as prince, and Zhao Bi took his place as prince.
Isn't it just about dying in his place?
In this sense, Zhao Yi actually turned misfortune into a blessing.
"That's good. But Master, my son..." The Empress Dowager felt a chill when she talked about Emperor Mingde, but she couldn't help but worry. After all, he was the son she had carried for ten months and raised with all her heart and soul.
"Your Majesty, the secrets of Heaven cannot be revealed. Everything is preordained and cannot be forced." He then uttered a Buddhist chant.
Those present were all intelligent people, and they quickly understood Master Wuye's words: Emperor Mingde's life was destined to be this way, and there was no point in forcing it.
However, Zhao Shu thought of many things. In her previous life, Emperor Mingde died after the reduction of the power of the princes.
