Chapter 386 The Young Singer's Journey 55
Imperial Observatory.
Qi Tianchen, who was sitting quietly with his eyes closed, suddenly sensed a different atmosphere in the room. He abruptly opened his eyes, and his calm and profound gaze fell behind a curtain.
"Knowing when to stop leads to stability; stability leads to tranquility; tranquility leads to peace; peace leads to contemplation; contemplation leads to attainment."
A clear voice rang out in the room, and with the unhurried chanting, a bright color suddenly appeared in the originally cold and elegant room.
The robe, combining red and black, creates a striking contrast between the two colors, bringing a unique and distinctive aura that instantly fills the entire room.
Qi Tianchen waved his whisk and let out a long breath: "Your Highness, the Crimson King."
With his hands behind his back, Xiao Yu walked out leisurely from behind the curtain with a tall and straight posture. His steps were steady and composed, and the hem of his clothes drew a perfect arc on the ground with his movements.
"Stability, tranquility, peace, contemplation, and attainment—these five are the essentials of self-cultivation. I wonder what level the National Preceptor has reached?"
Qi Tianchen narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze naturally falling on Xiao Yu, while his fingers secretly began to calculate.
Xiao Yu stood in the center of the room, looking down at Qi Tianchen with his smile unchanged: "Imperial Preceptor, are you calculating my fate?"
Qi Tianchen's fingers stiffened, and his face twitched unnaturally for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, he let out a long breath, his expression turned serious, and he actually began to calculate openly in front of Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu, however, remained smiling and quietly watched him deduce the results.
As time went by, fine beads of sweat appeared on Qi Tianchen's forehead. His gaze towards Xiao Yu gradually shifted from initial doubt to shock, which was tinged with surprise and excitement.
These complex emotions, like colors on a palette, intertwined, making his eyes exceptionally complicated.
Xiao Yu looked at Qi Tianchen with a smile: "How is it?"
Qi Tianchen got up and walked to Xiao Yu's side, looking him up and down.
"Oh dear, it's changed! How could it have changed so suddenly?"
He had predicted the fates of every prince of Emperor Mingde, and the Red King was no exception.
But why did the Red King's fate suddenly change?
What exactly prompted this change?
Qi Tianchen was greatly puzzled, and his eyes were filled with disbelief as he looked at Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu ignored his doubts, flicked his sleeve lightly, and sat down at the table with an air of nonchalance: "I have come here today to deal with two important matters."
Qi Tianchen's heart tightened suddenly, and he sat down opposite him, tentatively asking, "May I ask which two things Your Highness is referring to?"
Xiao Yu looked directly at him and slowly said, "The first thing was to have the Imperial Advisor look at my fate. This matter has been completed."
Qi Tianchen was in charge of the Imperial Observatory, overseeing the fate of the nation and the world. Xiao Yu had been an emperor for several lifetimes, so his fortune was naturally extraordinary.
I informed Qi Tianchen in advance, so that he wouldn't rush into the palace to meet the emperor like he did in my previous life, thus arousing Emperor Mingde's suspicion.
Qi Tianchen paused upon hearing this, leaning forward slightly: "And the second thing?"
Xiao Yu turned his head, his gaze falling directly on him, and slowly asked, "Where is that Dragon Seal Scroll that should have been in the Imperial Observatory?"
……
Long Xie remained standing guard at the door of the study, never leaving for even a moment.
He didn't know where his lord had gone, but he understood that since the lord had quietly left the mansion, he must be dealing with something extremely important.
All he can do now is conceal the prince's brief absence and ensure that no one notices this detail.
As the prince's personal attendant eunuch, as long as he stood guard at the study door, no one would suspect that the prince was not in the study at that moment.
Long Xie looked up at the sky and silently estimated the time.
Finally, the study door creaked open from the inside, and a figure slowly walked out of the room.
Upon seeing this, Long Xie felt a sense of relief and quickly went to greet him respectfully, saying, "Your Highness."
Xiao Yu nodded slightly, a hint of satisfaction in his eyes as he looked at Long Xie.
In the Northern Li royal family, each prince is assigned a personal eunuch who grows up alongside him. If a prince eventually ascends the throne, his personal eunuch will become the new Grand Eunuch.
In other words, after Xiao Yu ascends the throne, Long Xie will become the new Grand Eunuch, the head of the five Grand Eunuchs.
The importance of the Five Supervisors is self-evident. Although Long Xie is loyal, he is somewhat impulsive and rash.
Xiao Yu was unsure whether he could live up to the position of one of the Five Supervisors in the future, so he had been testing Long Xie with small things recently, and today was no exception.
However, it seems that Long Xie's performance is satisfactory to him.
Unaware of Xiao Yu's thoughts, Long Xie stepped forward, lowered his voice, and told Xiao Yu about Emperor Mingde's summons of the imperial physician.
Xiao Yu had anticipated this, and upon hearing this, he simply nodded: "Since the palace has not sent anyone to inform us, it is clear that they intend to keep the news under wraps and do not want this matter to spread. In that case, let's pretend we know nothing. Once the palace officially sends someone to announce the decree, I will then enter the palace to attend to your illness."
Long Xie nodded in agreement, then hesitated for a moment before asking, "Your Highness, what do you think His Majesty will do with the White Prince?"
"How should we deal with Prince Bai?" Xiao Yu sneered. "Not only will His Majesty not punish him, but he will also do his best to suppress the matter and order Grand Eunuch Jinxuan to keep it strictly confidential and not let it leak out."
"After all, intercepting and killing a prince is a capital offense. No matter how much His Majesty favors Xiao Se, he cannot stand by and watch the White Prince die for his sake."
"Both are my flesh and blood."
"Therefore, the best way to handle this matter is to act as if nothing has happened, suppress all the truth, and try to maintain a superficial calm and harmony."
Long Xie was somewhat unwilling after hearing this: "Then wouldn't all our efforts have been wasted?"
"How could I possibly waste my time?" Xiao Yu smiled shrewdly, a sharp glint in his eyes. He leaped lightly and landed steadily on the rooftop, overlooking the entire Tianqi City.
He never does anything for nothing.
From the very beginning, he knew that Emperor Mingde would not punish Xiao Chong.
But as long as this matter can create a rift between Emperor Mingde and Xiao Chong, his goal will be achieved.
Now, Xiao Se's hidden veins are damaged and have not yet recovered, Lan Yuehou has left the capital and has not returned, and Xiao Chong has lost the emperor's favor.
Once that news reaches the capital, he can seize the opportunity and soar to great heights.
In his previous life, he was the undisputed ruler of this world, wielding power and attracting the attention of all.
In this life, he will once again rule this land and make the entire world submit to him.
As for those people mentioned above...
Xiao Yu looked up at the sky with a cold gaze: He'll just enjoy himself in the mortal world for a few years before going up to deal with them.
