Liu Rixin's most famous knowledge is physiognomy.

Physiognomy is the process of inferring a person's longevity, prosperity or decline, fortune or misfortune based on his facial features, complexion, bones, fingerprints, etc.

Physiognomy is Liu Rixin’s specialty.

Especially in the past ten years, Liu Rixin has traveled around the world and gained more extensive knowledge.

Physiognomy is more advanced than the previous one.

The essence of physiognomy lies in eyesight.

When Liu Rixin first met Zhu Ying, he felt that his facial features were extraordinary. Even in a crowd, he stood out like a crane among chickens and was very eye-catching.

Seeing such a person, especially when Song Zhong only introduced a name.

Liu Rixin followed his professional instinct and subconsciously calculated in his mind.

Even if he didn't know Zhu Ying's date of birth, with Liu Rixin's current level of ability, he could calculate some things by looking at his facial features and complexion to deduce his fate.

Liu Rixin didn't think much about it and started calculating secretly in his sleeves.

After all, anyone who can be escorted by the Jinyiwei must be the descendant of a noble family. It just depends on his future luck.

However, after just a preliminary calculation, Liu Rixin was shocked, his little finger trembled violently, and he felt a palpitation at the same time.

This feeling can only be felt by those who are extremely strong in calculating fate.

Even those who have a great influence on heaven and earth will appear.

The last time I had this feeling was when I was making calculations for Zhu Yuanzhang and his many generals.

When Liu Rixin felt it, he stopped immediately.

Arriving at the backyard to wait for the sacrifice, he began to calculate with peace of mind in his sleeves.

As the detailed calculations proceeded, Liu Rixin frowned slightly.

"Why does this fate feel so familiar?"

Liu Rixin was a little puzzled. He thought carefully and he was sure that he had never seen Zhu Ying. A person like him would be unforgettable after just one glance.

There is no way I can forget it.

"I haven't calculated for anyone recently, why does it feel so familiar, as if I had calculated it not long ago."

Liu Rixin muttered to himself, the more he calculated, the more familiar he felt.

So I stopped for a moment and thought carefully.

"Since we set out for the capital, we haven't counted many people along the way."

"The only thing I have calculated is the two birth dates given by Your Majesty... Your Majesty?"

Liu Rixin was stunned for a moment, then immediately recalled the two birth dates given by His Majesty.

He still remembered those two birth dates clearly, after all, not too long had passed.

Moreover, the two horoscopes are extremely contrasting, yet they share a common characteristic, both of which indicate early death.

One is extremely ordinary, just an ordinary family.

Another extremely wealthy person, who Liu Rixin now knows well, is His Royal Highness Prince Yu Zhu Xiongying.

The fate of Zhu Ying, whom he had just calculated, was very similar to that of His Royal Highness Prince Yu, and it even gave people a feeling that it was this person.

"That's impossible."

Liu Rixin felt a chill on his back. The reason he didn't think of this just now was because

Because one was a living person standing in front of him, and the other had been dead for ten years and he was preparing to dig a grave.

After a brief hesitation, Liu Rixin tried to use Zhu Xiongying's fate on Zhu Ying to verify it.

It sounds simple, but only a top fortune teller like Liu Rixin can do it easily.

As the calculation proceeds.

Liu Rixin's body began to tremble, shake, and twitch.

Beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead.

"Could it be... that the cuckoo has taken over the magpie's nest?"

This is a legendary and even mythical method.

To conceal a person's fate from the world, change it against the will of heaven, and impose it on another person.

The closest related record in unofficial history is the legend of Zhuge Kongming extending his life with the Seven Star Lamp in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.

As the top figure in Ming Dynasty metaphysics, Liu Rixin naturally understands that many unofficial historical records are mostly rumors and exaggerations, and are not entirely true.

However, today, there is such a living example standing before him.

It caused him a great shock.

But after the shock, all that was left in Liu Rixin's heart was fear.

Conspiracy, big conspiracy.

What on earth does the person who has such means and can even manipulate all this want to do?

Zhu Xiongying, the eldest grandson of the emperor.

Could it be that they want to steal the sacred artifacts of the country?

Liu Rixin's heart was suddenly filled with fear, and he became a little crazy.

It was unknown how long it had been, perhaps a few breaths, or perhaps even longer, before the official from the Imperial Observatory noticed something was wrong and spoke up to bring Liu Rixin's attention back to his senses.

"Mr. Liu, the sacrifice is about to begin. Is this okay?" said an official from the Imperial Observatory with some concern.

As the host of the sacrifice, if Liu Rixin made a mistake at this critical moment, it would be a serious sin.

If the news gets out, all of them might be beheaded.

"I'm fine."

Liu Rixin took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, and his voice finally calmed down.

When the officials of the Imperial Observatory saw this, they had doubts and concerns in their hearts, but they did not say anything.

At this time, the gate opened.

Zhu Ying followed Eunuch Zhang in.

I saw a very familiar scene in the yard.

In the middle there was an altar with incense and offerings, and many people were standing with their bodies bowed. This was something that could only be seen in movies and TV shows in previous lives, but now it appeared in front of Zhu Ying.

Will there be any shamanic activity?

Zhu Ying was slightly looking forward to it.

But obviously the final result disappointed him.

When the time came, he and Eunuch Zhang just stood aside.

Then Liu Rixin recited the prayer, and after he finished, he and the other officials of the Imperial Observatory chanted the obscure scriptures together.

Just like this, a full hour passed and it was almost noon.

The chanting of scriptures was completed, and then everyone, including Eunuch Zhang and Zhu Ying, kowtowed and the sacrificial ceremony was completed.

After the sacrifice, it was obvious that Zhu Ying’s affairs ended here.

Eunuch Zhang became a little nervous.

He was worried that the Jinyiwei would come and arrest Zhu Ying, so he took him to the mausoleum in the back mountain for a blood sacrifice.

After waiting for a long time, Song Zhong and other Jinyiwei outside the temple showed no intention of coming in.

"Could it be that I guessed wrong?" Eunuch Zhang thought to himself.

Without the presence of the Embroidered Uniform Guards, Liu Rixin and others from the Imperial Observatory also relaxed a lot.

Zhu Ying was also curious about these officials and started chatting with them.

"My name is Zhu Ying, and I'm the owner of the Ping An Teahouse on the Qinhuai River."

Zhu Ying introduced herself.

Now that the sacrifice was over, it was time for him to return. He felt less wary and thought he was overthinking it.

"My name is Liu Rixin, nice to meet you, Master Zhu."

Liu Rixin was extremely curious about Zhu Ying and took the initiative to come over to communicate.

He wanted to find out how big a secret Zhu Ying was hiding.

During the conversation, Liu Rixin seemed to casually ask Zhu Ying about her age.

Zhu Ying had no need to hide it and just said it directly.

Although it is not a complete birth chart, Liu Rixin can understand it after getting this.

Zhu Ying's birth date and time were the same as the one that Your Majesty had given to the ordinary family.

With a little calculation, Liu Rixin could be completely sure.

This birth date does not match Zhu Ying's own, it is obviously wrong.

On the contrary, His Royal Highness Prince Yu's horoscope completely matches it.

Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration came to Liu Rixin's mind.

He has been working as a fortune teller since he was young, and he is confident that these relatively basic calculations will not be wrong.

So is there a possibility?

The person standing in front of him was the real His Royal Highness Prince Yu, and the tomb that was about to be dug up was actually an empty tomb, or even a substitution of someone else for a dead body.

Thinking in this way, Liu Rixin understood why His Majesty mobilized so many people and even risked affecting the feng shui of the royal mausoleum.

We also need to dig up the tomb of His Royal Highness Prince Yu and find out the truth.

After a slight hesitation, Liu Rixin asked Zhu Ying, "Master Zhu, do you know anything about His Royal Highness Prince Yu?"
