The waiter Zhou Baicha led Yan Ruyu to the private room on the second floor.

Taoist Master Xuanqing has arrived and is drinking tea.

He was unhappy when he left the palace. He went back and forth several times but did not achieve the expected result.

I was thinking about asking the Goddess of Heaven's Eye to come and arrange a grand prophecy.

However, he also realized that the people in the palace were not easy to deceive. Everyone had great trust in Yan Ruyu and was unwavering in their loyalty.

It made him angry and puzzled.

How can the trust between people be so strong?

This layout also needs to be thought out perfectly, otherwise it will be exposed and you will suffer the consequences.

Before he could make up his mind, someone came with a letter, asking him to go to the West City Teahouse, as the princess wanted to see him.

He suddenly became energized and felt that he would soon achieve his goal.

The luck is finally coming!

We quickly arrived at the teahouse and finished the first pot of tea before Yan Ruyu arrived.

Zhou Baicha led the way, Yan Ruyu took a seat, and Taoist Xuanqing said, "Hey, another pot of lemon black tea."

"Yes, princess, what would you like to drink?"

"It's the same thing."

Zhou Baicha hurried to prepare. Yan Ruyu glanced at the remaining tea in the Xuanqing tea cup. It seemed that he had drunk a lot.

It was the boss who served the tea, along with a few plates of snacks and dried fruits, all of which were the best in the store.

"Princess, thanks to your care, our business is booming. This is what we would like to invite you to try. Please try it."

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Okay, thank you, shopkeeper."

The shopkeeper kept saying he was not worthy of the honor, and when he saw that they had something to discuss, he quickly left.

Yan Ruyu took a sip of tea. It tasted really good. It was made with real ingredients and the boss had a good control of the cooking time.

Taoist Xuanqing waited for her to speak, and he gradually became anxious.

Seeing that she was not in a hurry, drinking tea and eating dried fruits, she had no intention of speaking.

I couldn't help but ask, "Princess, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"

Yan Ruyu glanced at him and said, "Master, are you talking about the abbot?"

Xuan Qing was stunned. How could he...

"Well, that's not called talking, it's just..."

"What is it? Damn it or not, what does this mean? Explain it to me."

Yan Ruyu wiped her hands and said, "Think about it first."

Taoist Xuanqing secretly thought it was a mistake. He should not have said these things earlier. What does life and death have to do with a monk? Why did he have to keep talking so much?

But since it had already been said, I could only bite the bullet and say, "Princess, you don't know. According to the normal course of events, the abbot should have died on the way to travel and would not have come to Youcheng."

Yan Ruyu paused slightly. This was indeed true. If the abbot was not dead, how could Li Saike get in?

Yan Ruyu nodded: "Who else? Who else do you know?"

"Let me summarize for you. You have already explained that there are my second son, my mother-in-law, my youngest son, and the abbot."

"Who else?" Yan Ruyu suddenly remembered, "Sima family, do you know?"

"The Sima family," Taoist Xuanqing thought for a moment, "the emperor issued an edict to rehabilitate them."

"Say I don't know."

"Oh, they were on their way back to Beijing. It seems they encountered a landslide. It seems they all died."

Yan Ruyu's eyebrows jumped: "Landslide? Where?"

Taoist Xuanqing swallowed his saliva: "This... I'm not sure."

"Can't you predict? Why, you didn't figure it out?"

But I don’t know something so important.

"There are too many secrets that cannot be revealed. I won't be able to predict everything..."

"Where is the old prince?" Yan Ruyu interrupted him, "Do you know the whereabouts of the old prince? Or should I say the ending?"

Taoist Xuanqing touched his nose and said, "Princess, I am happy to serve the palace, the prince, and you, but..."

"Negotiate terms?" Yan Ruyu leaned back in her chair and said, "Go ahead."

Taoist Xuanqing was overjoyed, he had finally waited for these words.

"Please ask the palace to fund the construction of a Taoist temple for me, publicize my prophetic ability, build a golden statue for the Taoist, and offer incense money on the first and fifteenth day of each month."

To build a Taoist temple and make it famous, you have to pay real money.

Yan Ruyu originally thought that Taoist Xuanqing wanted to be a retainer or something. Huo Changhe also said that what was the use of having such a retainer, as he was not going to be asked to tell fortunes every day.

As a result, now she realized that she and Huo Changhe were narrow-minded. Others wanted more and were not bound by them.

If I were in the palace every day, I would be under their supervision, but in the Taoist temple, they have the final say.

Yan Ruyu admired sincerely and nodded, "What a good plan."

"However, what I am concerned about is the old prince. You predicted Li Baru. He has been sent to the border. The old prince's whereabouts are unknown. I am not interested in your predictions about other things."

"Why should I pay so much money for something I'm not interested in?"

Taoist Xuanqing choked. It was not that he did not want to say it, but he was actually not particularly clear about it.

"You don't know, do you?"

"I know," Taoist Xuanqing said, "but it's not time for this to happen yet. I can only say that the old prince will appear in Dacheng, and when he appears, he will be dead."

Yan Ruyu's heart tightened, but she suppressed her emotions and remained calm on the surface: "Go on."

"The old prince has indeed been missing for a long time. Everyone thought he died on the battlefield or near the battlefield. The body could not be found, which is actually the fate of many soldiers."

This is indeed true. There are so many unknown ordinary soldiers in this world who died on the battlefield and left no trace. They are unsung heroes.

"Later, we suddenly heard that he appeared in Dacheng, but when he appeared... he had been dead for many days and his body was damaged. If Dacheng had not fought with our dynasty for many years and many generals in Dacheng recognized him, it would have been difficult to identify him."

"Emperor Dacheng sent an envoy to deliver the news back to the court. The court discussed who should go to collect his body. Someone suggested that the Sixth Prince go, and he himself was willing to go, but it was soon discovered that his princess consort, the Ninth Princess of Dacheng, was a fake."

"He couldn't protect himself, so he didn't go."

Yan Ruyu frowned: "Shouldn't the prince be allowed to take back the old prince's body? What is there to discuss?"

Taoist Xuanqing thought for a moment and said, "I heard that at that time, the eldest lady..."

He paused, and Yan Ruyu said, "Tell the truth."

"The eldest lady passed away, and the prince was in mourning. Some people in the court said that the prince's status was special, and if he entered Dacheng, he would be in danger of death. While they were arguing, someone rebelled. So the emperor ordered the prince to lead the troops to destroy the rebels, and after the destruction, the prince would be the one to receive the body."

Yan Ruyu was horrified when she heard this. She knew that what Taoist Xuanqing said was probably not false.

If she had not traveled through time and space to change the fate of everyone in the palace, then everything Taoist Xuanqing said would have happened.

Including the first lady, Huo Changxu, Huo Changheng, and the endings of all of them.

Yan Ruyu was silent for a moment, and Taoist Xuanqing was also very nervous, wondering whether she believed it or not.

"Princess, I know you may think what I said is ridiculous, but I swear to heaven, every word I said is true. These are the prophecies that the Goddess of the Sky Eye received..."

"It's not the Goddess of the Sky Eye," Yan Ruyu interrupted him, "it's because of you."

"The Goddess of the Sky Eye is just a cover. What you are attracted by is the scar on her forehead, which looks like an eye."

"Xuanqing," Yan Ruyu stared at Taoist Xuanqing with a calm and sharp gaze, "You are reborn, right?"
