Chapter 609 - 609 Father and Daughter, Divination (3)
609 Father and Daughter, Divination (3)
“I’m afraid so.”
The Emperor sneered. “Ridiculous! How could it set itself on fire? Did someone set fire to it and you didn’t discover it?”
The State Preceptor cupped his hands. “I’ve investigated carefully. At that time, no one approached the storeroom, and there were no matches inside that could burn by themselves.”
“Your Majesty!” The deputy commander of the imperial guards, who had gone to the Gu Hall to investigate, returned. After the Emperor nodded at Eunuch w.a.n.g, he was brought into the imperial study by Eunuch w.a.n.g.
!!He cupped his fists and said, “Your Majesty, the fire in the Gu Hall was started from Gu Elder Kong’s room. At that time, he was fetching water nearby and was lucky to escape. Otherwise, he would have been in trouble if he was in the courtyard!”
The Emperor broke out in cold sweat. Gu Elder Kong was old, but his body was still considered strong. He had lived to a hundred years old, so it would be too regrettable if he suddenly died in the fire.
“Have you found out the cause?” The Emperor asked.
“A strange fire,” the deputy commander said.
There were very few servants walking around Gu Elder Kong’s courtyard. It was easy to set fire to it, but it was difficult to not let the imperial guards discover traces of arson.
The imperial guards were not to be trifled with. There were so many sacrificial soldiers in the Gu Hall, let alone them.
The Emperor was so concerned about Gu Elder Kong’s safety. Even though there were not many servants in the courtyard, there were more than ten sacrificial soldiers with top martial arts around.
The State Preceptor paused and took a step forward. “Your Majesty, I’m afraid this is a great omen.”
The Emperor frowned. “State Preceptor, what do you mean?”
The State Preceptor was not in a hurry to answer. Instead, he bowed. “I’ll read Your Majesty’s fortune.”
The Emperor pondered for a moment and nodded in agreement.
The State Preceptor took out the copper coins used for divination and chanted a few incantations. He threw them on the table and saw six copper coins set up a very strange array.
The Emperor did not know anything about divination and asked him, “What does the divination say?”
“Your Majesty.” A trace of fear flashed across the State Preceptor’s face. “This is a divination. And from the divination, the disaster has invaded Nanzhao for a long time. I can only blame myself for not discovering it early.”
The Emperor carefully tasted the meaning in his words. “Disaster? You’re saying that there’s a reason why Nanzhao has encountered injustice recently?”
“I’m afraid so, Your Majesty,” the State Preceptor said piously. “The holy artifact was stolen, the ruler and ministers fell out, the father and daughter fell out, the husband and wife fell out, and the world was in chaos because there was a disaster hidden in the southeast.”
“Southeast?” The Emperor walked to the door of the imperial study and looked in the direction the State Preceptor was pointing. “Isn’t that in the direction of the Helian Manor? State Preceptor wants to tell me that the Eldest Miss, Young Master, Second Master, Second Madam, and the three children that the Helian Manor has just acknowledged are the so-called disasters of these things?”
“I wouldn’t dare to say,” the State Preceptor said.
The Emperor shook his head. “How is that possible? I’ve seen them all. They’re all extremely upright people. They’re definitely not the disaster you mentioned.”
The State Preceptor said seriously, “Your Majesty, please get their birth characters. I’ll carefully divine them.”
Eunuch w.a.n.g’s heart suddenly skipped a beat. The eldest daughter of the Helian family looked like the Eldest Princess. On the Little Princess’s birthday, the palace sent an invitation to the Helian family, but the Helian family rejected it, saying that they wanted to celebrate the Second Madam’s birthday.
The Second Madam’s birthday was the same day as the Little Princess.
These things that he had once neglected surged into his heart. He suddenly had a bold guess. Could the disaster that the State Preceptor was talking about be the Second Madam of the Helian family? Could this Second Madam be the Eldest Princess of Nanzhao?
She had only been in Nanzhao for a few days, but so much had happened.
Would His Majesty think that everything was because of her, the jinx?
