Chapter 251: Fate Palace (Part 1)
There is also Yu Yi.
From the information Deng Lian had obtained, it seemed that the concubine and Yu Yi had private dealings through Yongfu Pavilion.
Yu Yi had close contacts with the Sun family from Anning.
This can certainly be explained by his early interactions with Sun Yu.
But the concubine secretly went to the South City Wharf to watch Yu Yi send Sun Nian's family onto the ship. Was she there to see Yu Yi or Sun Nian's family?
Sima Jun thought of Sun Qiao's eyes.
Yu Yi might know the whole truth.
If this concubine was Sun Wei, then it would be more and more reasonable for him to arrange an official position for Sun's father in Yuzhou and send his family away.
——"I never thought that after so many years, Master Yu would never forget my sister...and my sister has never forgotten Master Yu in her heart either."
Sima Jun stared at the fish and sprinkled another handful of fish food.
The most direct solution was to have Sun Qiao meet with the concubine. Sun Qiao seemed unaware of the situation, but he couldn't hide his feelings. If anything unusual happened, no one could hide it from Sima Jun.
Just now, he did have such an impulse, but the thought was only fleeting and he suppressed it.
He remembered the face that looked at him smiling.
The curved eyebrows and eyes are bathed in sunshine.
The implications of this matter probably far exceed the truth itself.
Before figuring out everything, the worst thing to do is to alert the enemy.

Sima Jun returned to the palace and saw carriages and horses parked outside.
"Is Madam still meeting guests?" Sima Jun asked Cao Song who came to greet her.
"That's right," Cao Song said, "The princess has been meeting guests in Qiuxiang Pavilion since early morning and has never left."
Sima Jun looked over there and asked, "Who did Madam meet today?"
Cao Song pulled out a list from his sleeve and said, "I met a lot of people, all of them are on this list."
Sima Jun glanced around and his eyes fell on the name of Sun Rong's wife, Jiang.
"Has Mrs. Jiang from the Sun Mansion arrived?" he asked.
"She's here." Cao Song said, "The princess is meeting her right now."
Sima Jun thought for a moment, then returned the list to Cao Song and said, "Go in and tell them I'm back."
Sun Wei was talking to Jiang when he heard that Sima Jun had arrived and was very surprised.
Sima Jun was a man of aloof disposition. He did not like chatting with strangers, let alone meeting the women of other families.
Jiang was also very surprised. Seeing Sima Jun appear outside, she quickly stood up.
"The prince is back." Sun Wei had no choice but to stand up and say, "Can you have your meal?"
"I used it in Tangyuan." Sima Jun replied, and then his eyes fell on Jiang.
"This must be the wife of Sun Zhubu," he said.
Jiang quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, Prince."
"Madam Jiang, please don't be polite." Sima Jun said amiably, "It's been a while since I've seen Sun Zhubu. How is he doing?"
Jiang said respectfully, "Thank you for your concern, my husband is doing well."
As he was speaking, Sima Jun had already sat down at the top.
Sun Wei looked at him.
He glanced at Sun Wei with a calm expression.
Sun Wei arranged a whole day of meetings just to see Jiang. Jiang was a relatively unremarkable figure among the guests who had delivered the invitations, so Sun Wei didn't need to see her. Therefore, the guests Sun Wei arranged for today were all the prince's family members from his last trip to Jingkou, with Jiang among them, which seemed appropriate.
It was right to be cautious. Sun Wei thought that Sima Jun's sudden appearance must have made him aware of something suspicious.
She was not in a hurry. She asked the maid to serve tea to Sima Jun and listen to what he said.
"Is this Madam Jiang's first time back at the palace?" Sima Jun asked casually.
"That's right," Jiang replied. "I've long heard of your virtuous reputation and have long admired you. I've always wanted to meet you. I'm truly honored that you've summoned me to speak with me."
Sun smiled and said, "Your Highness, do you still remember that when I went to Jingkou last year, it was the Minister of Rites who arranged the carriages and the one in charge at that time was Sun Zhubu. Sun Zhubu took good care of me along the way, and I am very grateful. Now, seeing that Madam Jiang has just sent me a letter, I invited her to come over to chat."
"So that's how it is." Sima Jun said.
Seeing that he had no intention of leaving, Sun Wei decided to let Jiang go back first and deal with Sima Jun's troubles later.
Before she could speak, Sima Jun looked at Jiang and said, "Madam, you look unwell. Is there something worrying you?"
Jiang was stunned.
Sun Wei was also stunned.
"I have been disrespectful and have made the prince laugh at me," said Jiang. "Just now the princess read my daughter's fortune, and the divination was not good. That is why I am worried."
"Oh?" Sima Jun looked at Sun Wei, "Fortune telling?"
Sun Wei inwardly resented Jiang's quick tongue, but remained calm on the surface. "It was just that when we were discussing family matters, I saw that Madam was worried about the future of the young ladies, so I did a rough reading."
Sima Jun seemed quite interested: "I wonder what's wrong with this divination?"
Jiang said, "Your Highness just predicted that my daughter, Achan, would have a difficult winter. To be honest with you, my dear Prince, my daughter fell seriously ill after the weather turned cold, and she hasn't recovered yet. Fortunately, I came to see you today, otherwise I wouldn't have known how serious the situation was!"
After saying this, she looked at Sun Wei earnestly: "I just don't know if there is any way to resolve this difficulty? I also ask Princess to give me a clear way out. If my daughter can be saved, my whole family will be grateful!"
Sun Wei caught a glimpse of Sima Jun looking at him.
"I've also calculated the solution for Madam," she said sternly. "Your Majesty's body is in disharmony because your fate palace clashes with your family's, and the five elements are out of balance. So, medicine can help temporarily, but it can't save you forever. If you want to resolve this, you can go to the Yuntai Temple outside the city and practice quiet cultivation. Recite scriptures morning and night, bathe and fast, and harmonize yin and yang. After three years of this, you will receive the Zifu talisman and receive the protection of the Tiangang, which will allow you to reverse your fate."
Jiang was surprised: "The princess is saying that my daughter should enter a monastery and practice for three years?"
Sun Wei nodded: "Although it is a bit hard, if I can exchange three years for a lifetime without illness or disaster, isn't it worth it?"
Jiang's face was filled with embarrassment, and she hesitated, "But my daughter is already of marriageable age. How can we discuss marriage after three years? This..."
Sun Wei said earnestly, "This method is the simplest. After all, matters involving conflicting fate palaces cannot be dealt with perfunctorily, and cannot be delayed."
Jiang suddenly understood the meaning.
"I wonder who my daughter's fate palace is in conflict with?"
This is exactly what Sun Wei was waiting for.
"My granddaughter's birth chart shows the fire element of Yin, Wu, and Xu. Madam, think about this: is there anyone in the mansion who shows the water element of Shen, Zi, and Chen?"
Jiang was a little embarrassed and said, "At this time, I really don't know..."
After saying this, she remembered something and hurriedly asked, "If there really is such a person, how should we deal with him?"
"Since Madam doesn't want the Lady to become a nun, we can only start with the person who is incompatible with her," Sun Wei said. "However, water and fire have different principles, so the methods of resolving them are also different. Water Palace overcomes fire, and the cultivation method for those with water in their destiny is more demanding. This person must go to a beautiful place to cultivate for five years. Once the water evil is dispelled, the Lady can be free from danger. After much consideration, Kuaiji Mountain may be a bit remote, but it is a place where Taoism is prevalent, so it is very suitable."
