"Imperial Advisor, have you figured it out? What is wrong with me?"
Inside the Star-Picking Tower, countless white veils draped down, fluttering in the wind.
Behind the white veil, a jade-like hand reached out, then withdrew.
Standing before a divination chart, the Imperial Advisor Meng Yuzhou possessed hair as black as the purest jade in the dead of night. His exposed skin was as delicate as porcelain, exuding a gentle coolness. Dressed in a plain robe, he resembled a secluded orchid blooming in the mist. His androgynous face added to his otherworldly aura, inspiring both awe and admiration.
At this moment, Meng Yuzhou calmly put away the horoscope and said, "His Majesty's fate is excellent, and there is nothing wrong with it."
Ah Li sat behind the white veil, looking at the golden skirt that flowed down to her feet, with gold threads outlining dragon and phoenix patterns. She asked with great melancholy, "Then why has it been so long since I was able to give birth to a princess?"
"This...the time is not yet ripe. Your Majesty should let nature take its course and follow the will of Heaven."
Ah Li stood behind the white veil and said, "Very well, then I will wait a little longer."
Seeing that Ah Li had no further questions, Meng Yuzhou had the young Taoist priest beside him hold the fate plate and then turned and left.
The original owner was the Empress of Canglan Kingdom. When she was still a princess, in the treacherous power struggles of the royal court, she was not as cunning and self-serving as other princesses, nor did she have the means to achieve remarkable political achievements.
But she is the eldest daughter of the emperor, and the daughter of the Empress Fengjun and the former empress. As long as nothing unexpected happens, she is the undisputed next empress.
However, life is unpredictable. The late Empress died suddenly, and in fact, she died at the hands of a certain nobleman. This matter, involving a scandalous affair, caused a great deal of discussion both inside and outside the court. Many princesses coveted the supreme throne, their ambitions growing and their desires stirring.
At that time, there were quite a few princesses who were not convinced of the original owner's power. They all wanted to become empresses, and their schemes and plots were endless.
It was during this turbulent time that the Imperial Advisor Meng Yuzhou, like a pillar of strength to stabilize everything, held the tiger tally given to him by the late Empress, and led his loyal and brave men to stand resolutely by the side of the original owner of this body, building an unbreakable barrier for her with his unyielding spirit.
He was not only a loyal subject who protected his master, but also the future guardian of the Canglan Kingdom, and the person the original owner had secretly liked for a long time.
When the original owner faced the doubts and ridicule from the other princesses, especially when someone sharply questioned, "Yelü Li, as the eldest princess and the crown princess, you are both talentless and virtuous. Can you really shoulder such a great responsibility?"
Meng Yuzhou, dressed in the robes of the Imperial Preceptor, stood in front of the original owner of the body and slowly said, "People judge heroes by what they see, but they forget that the Imperial Star has already shone brightly in the sky. Heaven has long used the stars as its pen to write the future of the Canglan Kingdom, and Yelü Li is the one chosen by that Imperial Star to lead our Canglan Kingdom to prosperity and stability. She is capable of protecting this land and living up to the expectations of the people."
These words shocked everyone present, but they also quietly laid a solid foundation of public opinion for the original owner's path to the throne.
“I am ill, and my illness is caused by thinking about him.”
The original owner's figure slowly appeared amidst the fluttering white veil. "He said that I would lead the Canglan Kingdom to prosperity and stability, but he didn't foresee that I would be poisoned."
Ah Li remained silent as she walked to the top floor of the Star-Picking Tower. She looked at the Imperial Star, which was shrouded in darkness, and said, "It's not that he can't calculate it, but that those above won't let him."
The original owner followed Ahri, "Up there? Could there really be immortals?"
"Yeah, I think so."
"So, were you sent by a deity?"
