Hearing this, A Bao became thoughtful and got up and returned to the inner room.

He took out the ancient book he brought out from Wenyuan Pavilion from the secret cabinet.

Sitting down at the tea table again, Xie Wuai was horrified: "Royal sister, your bloodline has awakened, and you suddenly want to learn from Emperor Xianling and become obsessed with cultivating immortals, right?"

A Bao held his forehead speechlessly: "..."

"For thousands of years, the position of Imperial Observatory's National Master has been held by the head of the Yuan family." A Bao explained while flipping through ancient books: "The reason is said to be due to the secret technique of the Yuan family."

"Moreover, every generation of the Yuan family's patriarch is proficient in reading faces and bones, predicting disasters and avoiding misfortunes. They are also proficient in divination, voodoo, and spells."

Seeing that Xie Wuai was very curious, A Bao handed him the ancient book.

"Since it is a compilation of the ancestors of the Yuan family, perhaps if I study it thoroughly, I can figure out a few tricks from it and find out what old man Yuan is up to."

Xie Wuai tried hard to understand, but after trying for a while, he was forced to admit: "I don't understand. It's been two months. Sister, have you figured out the result?"

Hearing this, A Bao took the hot tea handed to him by the black-robed uncle and shook his head awkwardly, "Not yet."

This ancient book, written by the ancestor of the Yuan family, records strange stories in great detail. Even the so-called talismans, spells, witchcraft drugs, elixirs, poisons and witchcraft are classified into different categories, with their uses explained in detail and taboos marked.

But it's like...

Seeing Xie Wuai's eager anticipation, A Bao pondered and made an analogy: "It's like this is a recipe book, and the ingredients and methods are all told to you. But you don't have the ingredients, nor the pot, and you don't even know how much to use."

Xie Wuai recalled the years when he was forced to be the imperial sister's food tasting servant, and he sighed with true feelings: "That's right! Whether you add a spoonful of salt or half a spoonful of salt, the difference is huge."

A Bao sighed silently: Every inch has its own strengths and weaknesses.

From Emperor Xianling to her, most of their Xuanyuan royal family had no talent for cultivating immortals.

Suddenly, Xie Wuai became curious again: "Royal sister, do you think the Yuan family really has a secret technique?"

Ninety percent of the time, there is. A Bao hesitated in silence.

Not to mention anything else, after all, every head of the Yuan family lived a long life.

She remembered that when she died in her previous life, Yuan Chenji was over a hundred years old.

And she had been dead for fifty years, but the old man Yuan Chenji was still alive. He had a face that looked like a playful child, but was unfathomable, and his eerie smile made her feel scared.

Suddenly, Abao dipped his tea in water and wrote five words on the tea table.

The Yuan family is good at fortune-telling.

Just from what she could remember clearly, the old man Yuan Chenji had told fortunes three times.

That divination during the East Palace Red List election.

It is said that a dark moon falling on the Pei family is beneficial to the country.

When the old emperor heard this, he thought, it’s God’s will!

This directly allowed Pei Guichen, who was originally unqualified, to enter the red list preliminary selection.

Next, when she was in Chuyue and was drinking tea and discussing scriptures with Princess Xuan, Princess Xuan recalled the past and said that when Queen Qin was pregnant, she tried to tell fortunes for the baby in her womb.

However, the deposed Queen Qin, who was extremely gifted in the art of divination, could not even see the horoscope of the baby in her belly.

Coincidentally, at that time, Master Yuan predicted the royal heir in Queen Qin's belly.

It was concluded that the child was the result of a disaster.

Then, the late emperor gave Queen Qin, who had not yet been deposed, a choice.

Posterior position, or perhaps, the unborn child in the womb.

The Queen of Qin only wanted her child.

Also, when she was worshiping Buddha at Jishou Mountain, she was plotted against by Pei Guichen.

At that time, Pei Guichen also said that when he was born, the head of the Yuan family had told him his fortune.

It is said that he is destined to be lonely and unlucky, and will suffer misfortune from his loved ones.

Thinking of this, Abao silently complained.

This is a disaster from heaven, not the candied haws from a street stall.

Selling in batches, two at a time?

Suddenly, an idea popped into her mind.

The little old man Yuan Chenji seemed to be treating all of them as chess pieces, playing with them and controlling them all.

Let’s think back to the snowstorm in northern Xinjiang three years ago.

A hunchbacked old man with white hair coincidentally appeared when she was at a loss, and told her that Queen Qi Jiang had left behind a method to control the zombie poison.

A Bao felt like he was falling into an ice cellar, and when Xie Wuai saw the falling leaves outside the window, he immediately thought of his good brother.

"There has been no news from Yan Haixi for a long time. Could something have happened?"

A Bao's heart was beating fast and he lowered his eyes in deep thought for a long time.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door in the corridor.

"Madam." Wanwan said with difficulty, "There is an old man at the gate who wants to see you."
