The main hall.
As soon as Su Li entered, Taoist Kongxu asked her to send the servants away.
After letting Xiao Wu and the others leave, Su Li asked in confusion, "Master, why is it so mysterious?"
Taoist Kongxu, as usual, dropped his mysterious demeanor and said, "It's nothing serious. It's just that after seeing Princess Rongfu's face that day, I still have some questions that I can't figure out."
"Oh, what's the problem?"
"According to common sense in our physiognomy, even if a person is born with purple aura not because of their fate, those who carry purple aura in the womb, regardless of their birth date, will more or less have a face that shows good fortune. But when I looked at Princess Rongfu's face that day, she didn't have the slightest sign of good fortune."
Su Li was stunned and asked in surprise, "You mean to say that Princess Rongfu's face doesn't have the appearance of a face that can carry purple energy?"
"Exactly!"
"Is it certain that it won't happen?"
Taoist Kongxu said with certainty: "Definitely not!"
After returning that day, he carefully recalled what his master had taught him, confirming that he had remembered correctly and had not seen it wrongly: "I am wondering, could it be that Master Wu En accepted the bribe and lied back then?"
Or maybe Master Wuen actually has no real ability and is just talking nonsense.
After all, didn't he also make a good living by cheating and deceiving people?
Su Li doesn't think so.
If it was true that Master Wu En accepted bribes and lied, then in the original novel, after returning to the capital, he would not have directly and without hesitation said that Princess Rongfu no longer had the purple aura and was no longer a lucky star.
Isn't that slapping yourself in the face?
Even if Taoist Kongxu said that Princess Rongfu did not have the purple aura, what would it matter? Given Master Wuen's status, what could Taoist Kongxu do to him if he said that she did?
Therefore, the speculation that Master Wuen accepted bribes and lied is almost impossible.
In fact, after hearing Taoist Kongxu raise these questions, Su Li's first reaction, based on his experience of watching many TV dramas and novels in past and modern lives, was: The Cat Substitutes for the Prince.
Princess Rongfu is not a real lucky star at all.
Someone replaced the real lucky star with the current Princess Rongfu.
Since ancient times, there have been many people who would do anything to get the throne.
She guessed that Empress Renxuan might have been pregnant with a boy.
When she was pregnant, Master Wu En asserted that purple energy was lingering around her body, and that the fetus in her womb, whether it was a princess or a prince, would be a lucky star for the Great Jin.
At that time, Empress Renxuan was already the mistress of the imperial palace. If she had given birth to a princess, it would have been fine. She would have simply been a lucky princess, because in the Jin Dynasty, princesses could not inherit the throne.
But if he is a prince, he is the eldest son of the queen, and the eldest son who is said to be blessed with good fortune. There is no doubt that he will be the next emperor.
In this way, the other princes would completely lose the opportunity to compete for the throne.
In order to have this opportunity, someone used the trick of replacing the prince with a cat, and replaced the real Prince Fuxing.
Although in order to prevent the confusion of the royal bloodline, the system of concubines giving birth in the palace has always been very strict.
But there is always a possibility of mistakes in everything, not to mention that when Empress Renxuan was pregnant, it was during the war and the country was in turmoil. It was inevitable that some things were overlooked, and it was not surprising that someone took advantage of the chaos to take advantage of the opportunity.
Thinking back to the day of the charity gathering, Princess Rongfu looked panicked and guilty when she heard Taoist Kongxu reveal that she did not have the purple aura and was not a lucky star.
Su Li suddenly realized that perhaps Princess Rongfu was not so lucky because she knew that the purple aura on her body would disappear, but because she knew that she herself was not a real lucky star.
"Madam Pei, if Master Wu En returns to the capital and still claims that Princess Rongfu has purple aura and is the lucky star of the Great Jin, then we..."
"Master Wu'en has traveled extensively throughout the world over the years, solely to spread the Dharma. How could someone so devoted to the Dharma disdain to lie? Have you ever considered other possibilities?"
Taoist Kongxu was stunned: "Another possibility? What other possibility?"
Su Li repeated her speculation and continued, "Think about it. Back then, Master Wu'en asserted that Empress Renxuan's unborn child was a lucky star, but he left the Jin Dynasty before the Empress gave birth. This means that Master Wu'en never even saw Princess Rongfu after she was born. So, who would know if she was a lucky star or if she had purple aura?"
"Of course, even if someone like you could see it, since it was Master Wu En's assertion, who would, or rather, who would dare to easily refute it?"
Taoist Kongxu's eyes widened in shock. "This, no way! Confusion of the royal bloodline, and the future lucky star, this is a capital crime punishable by death! How dare someone be so audacious!"
Normally, he would just cheat others at most. He would never do anything evil that would harm others, especially something like this, which he dared not even think about.
"Since ancient times, the struggle for the throne has always been brutal. To seize the throne, what are these means?"
Taoist Kongxu asked again, "Then, where is the real lucky star? Is he not dead?"
Since Fuxing has been replaced, the real threatening Fuxing should not be able to survive, right?
Su Li shook her head: "Without any evidence, I have no way of guessing."
Only the person who replaced the real lucky star knew about this. Perhaps Princess Rongfu also knew about it.
He then reminded, "This is just my guess. There is no evidence. Speculating on the identity of a royal family member is a serious crime. Taoist Priest, please do not tell anyone else except me."
Taoist Kongxu knew the seriousness of the matter and quickly said, "Don't worry, I'm very tight-lipped and won't say anything nonsense."
I thought to myself: It turns out to be the wife of the Pei family, smart and reliable.
The two continued chatting for a while, and then Kongxu Taoist said goodbye and left.
At noon, just after Su Li finished lunch, Yu Fengzhu came to say goodbye to her.
"Mrs. Pei, I will be leaving the capital today."
Su Li was a little surprised: "I thought you would wait until Princess Rongfu's guilt was confirmed..."
Pei Mingyue had already told her the outcome of Yu Fengzhu's father's case yesterday.
A total of nine officials were involved in the case. They were charged with embezzling disaster relief funds and falsely accusing court officials, and were sentenced to punishments ranging from confiscation of property to beheading and exile.
Yu Fengzhu's father was able to clear his name, return home, and his property was confiscated. The court also made additional compensation.
However, the punishment for the culprit, Princess Rongfu, has not yet been decided.
Yu Fengzhu said with relief: "I am satisfied to be able to clear my father's name. As for Princess Rongfu, I believe that given the current situation, Madam Pei will definitely not let her escape..."
Dad's charges have been cleared, and now he just wants to go home. He can't remember how long it has been since he was home.
He missed home and wanted to go back home to pay respect to his family openly...
He bowed solemnly and said, "If it weren't for Madam Pei, I don't know when I would be able to clear my father's name. Perhaps, I would never be able to overturn his verdict in this lifetime... Yu is extremely grateful to Madam Pei."
Su Li shook her head: "You don't need to thank me, I said, I am helping myself..."
"Since you have made up your mind, I wish you a safe journey..."
He had already done what he wanted to do, and now he wanted to leave. Su Li had no reason to stop him.
