Chapter 323: Deathly Birthday
Because I mentioned to the emperor before, his ascension day is in autumn.
The emperor was very much looking forward to ascending to heaven and becoming an immortal at this time. In order to achieve a smooth ascension, he summoned Xun Yuanbai into the palace every day and asked him to accompany him.
And from time to time, I would ask what day and month it was.
Xun Yuanbai naturally didn't dare to say anything about this matter. He could only sneak out of Qingxu Palace that day and secretly find Song Jingyun.
As soon as he arrived in front of Song Jingyun, Xun Yuanbai couldn't wait to take deep breaths.
After all, it's the air around the son of luck, so just get as much as you can, and it will save him from some disasters.
Seeing his anxious look, Song Jingyun couldn't help laughing, "Didn't I tell you before that if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up? Why are you still so anxious?"
"That's what you said, but if the sky collapses, you can probably hold it up, but won't the rubble and broken stones over there smash my head and make it bleed?"
Xun Yuanbai said, "I must be panicking."
"Then I'll give you a guarantee, Master?" Song Jingyun raised his eyebrows. "Master, are you relieved?"
"What kind of guarantee?"
"I will definitely allow the Master to escape unscathed and not be implicated in this matter. How do you think?"
Seeing that Song Jingyun was very confident, Xun Yuanbo felt more at ease, but he was also full of curiosity, "Tell me more about it?"
"When the truth comes out, Master will know everything." Song Jingyun stood up. "I still have to prepare for the late emperor's birthday celebration, so I won't accompany you for now."
The ceremony for the late emperor's birthday was held in the Guoguang Temple near the temporary palace. The Ministry of Rites had already begun preparations more than a month ago, and now everything was almost ready, with only arrangements for the emperor to come in person.
On the late emperor’s death anniversary, only the emperor would lead the crown prince, several princes, and several princes to pay homage in person, with the Ministry of Rites and the Hanlin Academy accompanying them.
Song Jingyun now holds an important position in the Hanlin Academy and is also among the entourage.
Xun Yuanbo also knew that Song Jingyun had been very busy these days.
But thinking of the late emperor's birthday, Xun Yuanbo asked curiously, "The King of Yue has been feeling unwell for some time. Will he not go to the Guoguang Temple this time?"
"The late emperor's birthday is a top priority. Even if the King of Yue is feeling unwell, I think he will insist on going."
Otherwise, it would be easy for the prince to find an excuse to scold him.
"On the occasion of the late emperor's death, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will probably not cause trouble for the King of Yue. The King of Yue chose this time to show up. This is a very smart plan." Xun Yuanbai sighed.
"We'll know whether the calculation is accurate or not when the time comes." Song Jingyun smiled mysteriously, without saying much, and returned to the Hanlin Academy first.
Xun Yuanbai stayed there for a long time before slowly returning to his own house.
After arriving at the mansion, Xun Yuanbai asked for divination again with some concern.
First, he told the emperor his fortune.
Looking at the menacing momentum shown in the hexagram, Xun Yuanbai’s brows were tightly knitted together.
After hesitating for a moment, he told the King of Yue about his fortune.
When he saw the hexagram clearly, Xun Yuanbo was stunned.
This is……
Something big is going to happen! ——On the anniversary of the late emperor’s death, everyone arrived at Guoguang Temple a day in advance.
The King of Yue and his son were also among them, living in the same Zen temple with other princes and their sons.
