Chapter 413: The Imperial Master Lied
"Yes, Shu'er can walk now. When the weather gets warmer, Shu'er will wear less clothes and walk by herself."
Chu Qinshu clung to her father's arm and acted like a spoiled brat, refusing to move a step.
"Dad, does the Red Spirit Emperor know that the Second Emperor is in the Red Spirit Country?"
Seeing that her father insisted on letting her walk, Chu Qinshu tried to divert his attention.
"Also, does the Emperor intend to send an envoy to the Red Spirit Country, or does he intend to send troops to the Red Spirit Country?"
......
"Shu'er, don't worry about state affairs. Daddy knows what's going on."
How could Chu Chengyi, who raised his own daughter, not know what she was thinking? He had no choice but to hold her back in his arms.
In the study, the imperial teacher was calculating the divination.
"Your Majesty, Prince Ning was abused by the eldest princess in Chiling Country and is now on his last breath. If we send troops to Chiling Country, Prince Ning will still have a chance of survival."
The Imperial Master looked at the hexagram, frowning from time to time, sometimes in deep thought, and it took him nearly an hour to come to a conclusion.
This time, Emperor Yongping summoned him to the palace.
But the conclusion after the hexagram was given by Chu Chengyi.
As the imperial teacher, he certainly has some abilities.
Emperor Yongping took a fancy to Prince Ning, but he knew that although Prince Ning could not bring harm to the country, he had the character and destiny to help Zhou to commit atrocities.
If we make good use of Prince Ning's current situation, we can break his fate.
"Grandmaster, what do you mean by this? Please explain it in detail."
Emperor Yongping put down the memorial in his hand and became worried about Prince Ning's situation again.
He asked the imperial teacher to come just to see if there was any chance to save King Ning.
Although he had long guessed that Prince Ning was sent to the Grand Princess's Mansion of Chiling Kingdom by Chu Chengyi, a good prince of Sheng'an Kingdom would not be treated harshly in the Grand Princess's Mansion of Chiling Kingdom.
If the national teacher had not said in every previous divination that King Ning could not be saved, he would not have remained inactive.
After all, the safety of the country is more important than a prince.
But what did the Imperial Master mean by that? How come King Ning is only left with one breath? We still have to send troops to Chiling Country to have a chance of survival.
"In reply to the emperor, the eldest princess of the Chiling Kingdom found the treasure left by the Zhang ancestors and used the blood of Prince Ning to open the treasure. Perhaps because of excessive bleeding, Prince Ning's body became ill.
The eldest princess of the Chiling Kingdom obtained a huge treasure because of Prince Ning, and she fell in love with Prince Ning. She wanted to take Prince Ning into good health and bring him into her room, but Prince Ning refused.
The Princess of the Red Spirit Kingdom asked the black sorcerer she kept to use a sorcerer on Prince Ning. The sorcerer would eat human essence and make people age quickly. Prince Ning now looks older than the Emperor."
The Imperial Master was telling lies, and he knew it, but he didn't make those lies up.
The news of the treasure had already spread throughout Changxing.
The ancient tomb that Ouyang Yue found disappeared without a trace after the treasure hidden in it was emptied.
This was exactly the same as what happened after the legendary Zhang's treasure appeared in the world, and Ouyang Yue had no choice but to acknowledge it.
Of course, what the Imperial Master didn't know was that this legend was spread after being embellished by Chu Chengyi.
The purpose is to pin the credit of obtaining the treasure on Ouyang Yue.
As for Prince Ning, it was Chu Chengyi who sent him back to Ouyang Yue's mansion secretly after he saw that he had been tortured enough in Yansha Kingdom.
After he was sent back to Ouyang Yue's mansion, Chu Chengyi also asked people to spread the news of his presence in Ouyang Yue's mansion.
And made up a tragic love story for him and Ouyang Yue, one of unrequited love and hatred caused by love.
Although the story was very melodramatic, Ouyang Yue's reputation in the Red Spirit Country was already bad, so this story could not be suppressed and was talked about with relish on various occasions.
"The Red Spirit Nation is too much. My son is fine, but now they have to bleed him and torture him with snakes. He will not live long. I will not take this lightly."
Emperor Yongping's beard was shaking with anger. If he had not been unwilling to get hurt in his rage, he would have smashed the case into pieces with one blow.
The words of the national teacher also made him have some doubts about his previous speculation that Chu Chengyi had abducted Prince Ning.
"That's what I mean. The hexagram says that we can save Prince Ning, and that won't endanger the people. Your Majesty, just send the troops without worry."
The national teacher lied calmly, what a bullshit hexagram, it took him a lot of effort to come up with such a hexagram.
"Well, I will make a decision on sending troops after discussing it with the court officials. Imperial Master, there is one more thing I want to know."
Emperor Yongping thought about the battle between the Youzhou Army and the Qingluo Kingdom, and had an idea about sending troops to the Chiling Kingdom. He just needed some effort to get Chu Chengyi to agree to take out the fire bomb.
But this is not too difficult for him.
After all, his only idea was to rescue Prince Ning and then let Emperor Chi Ling pay some money and a few cities.
If the Red Spirit Emperor is not easily frightened, it would be better if he could give away a few more cities.
In short, for him and Chu Chengyi, this battle has only advantages and no disadvantages.
But if he doesn't find out the reason why Prince Ning was captured and taken to the Red Spirit Kingdom, he will always feel uncomfortable.
The palms and backs of the hands are all made of flesh, and he hates to see brothers killing each other the most.
Only after hearing the definite answer from the Imperial Master would he stop overthinking and increasing the distance between father and son.
But he forgot that he had already asked the imperial teacher this question a long time ago.
"What does the emperor want to know? This humble servant is here to answer your questions."
The Imperial Master stood respectfully in the hall, waiting for Emperor Yongping to speak.
"Who was responsible for the capture of Prince Ning?"
When Emperor Yongping asked the question, the imperial teacher was stunned.
Hasn't this been discussed before? It was Ouyang Yue, the eldest princess of the Red Spirit Kingdom, who did it. She asked the black witch to use witchcraft to abduct the people.
Is the Emperor suspicious of him?
"Your Majesty, I will tell you a fortune later."
The imperial teacher was helpless; the only thing that could help him was the hexagram.
A quarter of an hour later, the result of the hexagram came out, and the national teacher started to lie again.
"Your Majesty, the hexagram shows that Prince Ning was captured by the Princess of the Red Spirit Nation. The method used to capture him is the black magic. As long as the black magic is used as a guide, it can capture people from a distance."
This time, the Imperial Master explained it more clearly than last time. This was what he had learned from the books that Mou Yu had left in the Observatory.
Once a person is possessed by a snake, the person who raises the snake can control the person even if he is thousands of miles away.
"You mean to say that Prince Ning was possessed by a snake before he was captured?"
Emperor Yongping was very suspicious, as he had already had people clear out all the things related to the dragon.
The queen was burned to ashes, and although Mou Yu was still alive, he had been locked up in a dark cell for more than two years. How did Prince Ning get into trouble?
"In reply to the emperor, Prince Ning was indeed poisoned by a snake before he was captured."
The Imperial Master was sweating as he spoke, and he kept reminding himself in his heart, "A monk should not tell lies, a monk should not tell lies."
Unfortunately, the lie has been told, and all that is left is to continue telling the lie in front of you.
"How did King Ning get bitten by the snake? Do you know?"
Emperor Yongping couldn't figure it out himself, so he could only continue to ask the imperial teacher.
"In reply to the emperor, as far as I know, Ma Xiuli and Mou Yu have had contact. As for who put the snake on Prince Ning, I have no idea."
This was not a lie, he really found the secret letters between the Imperial Master and Matthew Li in the Observatory.
Moreover, he had already handed this secret letter to Emperor Yongping, but Emperor Yongping probably had forgotten about it long ago.
