1832 variables, nothing in this world remains unchanged
It was an extremely risky move for Bu Jingyun to break into the Hundred Ghosts Palace. Once he was exposed, he would become the common enemy of the Hundred Ghosts Palace and Liancheng, and be attacked by both parties at the same time. At that time, it would be extremely difficult for him to get out of Liancheng...
Similarly, everything Feng Qingchen did in Xiling was undoubtedly walking on a tightrope. If it weren't for the amulet Xiaotuanzi, no matter how many tricks she had, she wouldn't be able to display them in Xiling.
You know, before Feng Qingchen arrived in Xiling, her every move was under the surveillance of Xiling Jinyiwei. Not only the Princess of Xiling, but also the Emperor of Xiling, also attached great importance to Feng Qingchen's arrival.
The Emperor of Xiling did not think that Feng Qingchen came all the way to Xiling just to treat Feng Jin. Politicians always like to complicate and plot things. Feng Jin is the son of the eldest princess. The Emperor of Xiling did not think that Feng Qingchen would be so kind.
A kind woman cannot support a household on her own.
Thinking of the situation in Beiling and Dongling, the Emperor of Xiling viewed Feng Qingchen's arrival as a way to find an ally for Dongling in Xiling, or to divide Xiling so that Xiling would be unable to extricate itself and participate in this war and get a share of the spoils.
However, the reason why Emperor Xiling thought so was because Feng Qingchen's identity was too special. Emperor Xiling could not treat her as an ordinary woman, nor could he treat her arrival as an ordinary event.
Therefore, when Emperor Xiling learned that Prince Duan was rescued by Feng Qingchen, he no longer had any hope for Prince Duan.
The emperor knew very well how much Prince Duan valued his son. When it came to Rui'er, Prince Duan acted without any rules, and the facts proved that the emperor's inference was correct. With just a slight test, Prince Duan turned to Xiling Tianyu.
"Imperial Master, didn't you say that Rui'er was destined to die young? Why is he still alive now?" The imperial physician that Prince Duan wanted was intercepted by the Princess, while the imperial master he wanted to see was kept by the Emperor.
The old imperial teacher with a head full of silver hair, supported by the chief disciple, trembled and stepped forward, saying solemnly: "This old minister is confused. This old minister can no longer understand the fate of Prince Rui."
"Don't understand? Could it be that he has the appearance of being the emperor?" The emperor frowned, and a sinister look flashed in his eyes. As an emperor, the emperor really didn't like it. Things that were beyond his control happened repeatedly.
The old state teacher shook his head: "No...Prince Rui is just like Prince Tianyu, he has never had the aura of a true dragon."
"The Imperial Master said that Tianyu does not have the aura of a true dragon. In my opinion, his position as the Crown Prince is becoming more and more stable." The Emperor lowered his voice, with a hint of anger in his voice.
Xiling has always been plagued by external troubles, and now internal problems have arisen. If things continue like this, it is unclear when it will be able to join the ranks of powerful countries and become a first-class power in the Kyushu continent.
“The dragon energy in Prince Tianyu is just borrowed fake dragon energy. It won’t last long.” The old national teacher was full of confidence. Even though he was a side branch abandoned by the Fu family, he still had this ability.
"I hope the Imperial Master is not wrong." The Emperor slightly withdrew his pressure, and then he became annoyed again: "I only have two sons, one is dead, and the other does not have the true dragon spirit. Is there no one who can inherit my kingdom?"
The emperor seemed to be talking to himself, but in fact he was waiting for the answer from the imperial teacher. However, the old imperial teacher did not look at him this time. It was not until the emperor asked that the old imperial teacher spoke in panic: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. As long as that person shows up, I will be able to tell who he is."
He wanted to know more than the emperor who this person with the true dragon spirit in Xiling was, so that his family could invest early and continue to enjoy glory for a long time.
"Yeah." The emperor thought about his own health and was secretly worried, but he didn't want to show it in front of others, so he pretended not to care and waved his hand: "Prince Duan must be anxious, go to Prince Duan's mansion to check on him and let him feel at ease."
Most importantly, I came back to tell the emperor and let him rest assured. Why did Rui'er, who was destined to die young, survive? Was there another disaster in his life?
The old imperial teacher also wanted to know this question. He once calculated for Prince Duan that he was destined to be childless. Prince Rui's face also showed that he would die young. Combining the two, there was no way he could be wrong.
As soon as they left the palace, the eldest disciple beside the old national teacher, who was also his grandson, asked, "Grandpa, did someone change the fate of Prince Rui?"
This person was dressed in black, with a serene face and calm eyes. He looked like a sage with no desires or requests, and his appearance was very deceptive.
"Ever since Crown Prince Lei got into trouble, Grandpa has speculated that there must be a person with a strange fate. Because of this person, many people's fates have been changed. For example, the eldest princess, and Crown Prince Tianyu." The old national teacher's dim eyes flashed with a gleam: "Yixuan, remember. Fate is never static, it is full of variables, and what we can see is just one of the possibilities."
It’s like he sees a person standing at a crossroads and choosing to go left, and everything that happens to him afterwards is related to this choice.
But when this person, for some reason, chooses to go right, his fate will change, and the fate of the people related to him will also change.
"Grandson understands." The man in black nodded, walked a few steps and stopped again: "Grandpa, could the man surnamed Fu in Dongling be a descendant of our family?"
"Impossible." The old state teacher's face darkened, and he said firmly: "When the people of our family were driven out of the Jiuzhou Road, they swore that unless the Lan family and the Fengli family asked them to do so, they would never set foot on the Jiuzhou Continent. Moreover, all their books and compasses for deduction have been destroyed. The inheritance of our family has been cut off. Even the people of our family cannot deduce the method of fortune-telling."
The old national teacher spoke so quickly and hastily that he could not catch his breath. He paused for a moment, calmed down his emotions, and then continued, "The people of our family have long lost the tradition of fortune-telling. Even if someone from our family came, they would only be third-rate, far inferior to us. In the Jiuzhou Continent, our Xi branch is the only fortune-teller who can truly tell a person's fortune."
The old national teacher glanced at his grandson beside him, fearing that he was not confident, and said solemnly: "Yixuan, remember, the legend of the Fu family is a thing of the past. Now, in the Jiuzhou Continent, the only one who can calculate destiny is our branch. In the future, even if you meet the descendants of the Fu family, you don't have to belittle yourself and lose the pride of our branch."
"Grandson understands." The man in black clothes agreed verbally, but he was still uneasy in his heart. He always felt that the man surnamed Fu in Dongling was not a simple person.
As a fortune teller, his intuition is always more accurate than that of ordinary people.
The grandfather and grandson were silent all the way, one was thinking about the little dumpling, and the other was thinking about Fu Lin who was far away in Dongling. Different paths led to the same destination, and the grandfather and grandson were thinking at the same time, what kind of accident happened, why so many people's lives were different from what they had calculated back then...
