The regent is determined to get the daughter of a minor official.

The "Blood Grudge Soul Devouring Curse" states that men will not live past the age of thirty...

Li Yueze began to recall the ages of the princes in the royal family.

I was surprised to find that there was really no one over 30 years old.

For some reason, Li Yueze felt happy.

Regent Chu Musheng is twenty-three years old this year, right?

Wait another seven years, maybe...

Li Yueze stopped his dark thoughts that were unknown to others.

Continue to study this cracking method.

Can it only be released by intercourse with a soul from another world?

What is intercourse?

Li Yueze's heart skipped a beat.

If that was what he thought, the Prince Regent and Princess Sheng would have already had intercourse.

By the way, I haven’t seen their children yet, I wonder if they have colors too.

Li Yueze suddenly wanted to go see the child.

He had once seen the young prince outside the palace gate, but at that time his whole mind was on Princess Sheng.

In addition, the servants in Prince Sheng's mansion wrapped the young master tightly.

Li Yueze didn't even look at the child.

It's useless to regret now. I just hope that next time I have the chance, I will take a closer look at that young master.

After thinking it over, Li Yueze folded the copied rice paper and put it in the secret compartment of the study.

He got up and went to his father's study.

Prime Minister Li was sorting out the accounts of recent fundraising efforts from various parties. Seeing Li Yueze come in, he raised his eyes and asked:

"Zer, how come you have time to come here now?"

Li Yueze bowed.

"Father, I don't understand something and I would like to ask you to answer my question."

Prime Minister Li put down the account book in his hand and pointed to the chair beside him.

"Sit down and talk."

Li Yueze sat down as he was told and spoke after thinking for a moment.

"Father, how much do you know about the lifespan of royal men?"

Prime Minister Li was startled and hurried to close the doors and windows of the study.

He turned around and glared at his son.

"Zer, you are so brave! Do you think we, as ministers, can discuss the affairs of the royal family?"

Li Yueze quickly stood up and bowed, saying:

"Father, please calm down. I just stumbled upon some secrets and am truly confused. That's why I came to ask for your advice."

Prime Minister Li sat down again, his face still gloomy.

"What the hell do you know?"

Li Yueze lowered his voice.

"I've heard that all male members of the royal family don't live past the age of thirty. It seems they're under some 'blood-wrenching soul-devouring curse.'"

Prime Minister Li took a deep breath and said after a moment of silence.

"This matter is extremely confidential. Your father only told you about it when your grandfather passed away. How did you learn about it?"

Li Yueze told Prime Minister Li that the Regent had asked them to read ancient books during this period.

"Since you have heard something, I will tell you something.

This curse has existed for a long time, but no one knows where its origin lies.

As a father, I only know that the royal families of all generations have been secretly searching for a solution, but to no avail."

Prime Minister Li stroked his beard and thought for a moment.

“I guess it’s because Prince Lu is seriously ill this time, and the Regent is anxious to find a solution, so he asked you to look through the ancient books.

By the way, that "Blood Grudge Soul-Devouring Curse" you just mentioned was found in an ancient book? I've never heard of it before."

Li Yueze replied.

“This ancient book is in the Imperial Palace’s library. It’s impossible that no one from the Chu royal family has looked for it over the years.

They may think that souls from other worlds do not exist in the first place, and that there is no way to break this fate.

So they put the ancient book away in a high cabinet, and never let it reach the ears of future generations, after all, their life spans were short..."

"My son, don't talk nonsense. The life span of royal men is indeed short, but the women are fine.

Do you think your father didn’t know that it was Princess Jianning who threatened your sister?

Your father knows what's going on, but he didn't want to provoke the royal princess, so he sent your sister away to avoid her.

Li Yueze sighed. As expected, the imperial power was supreme, and his father was always cautious in his words and actions as an official in the court, walking on thin ice.

"I've copied down the details of the witchcraft and how to break it. Would you like to see it, father?"

Upon hearing this, Prime Minister Li was so shocked that he pulled out a piece of his beard.

"Bring it here quickly. Burn it immediately after I've reviewed it. How can you take such royal secrets out of the palace so casually? Go now!"

Li Yueze did not dare to delay and hurried back to get the copied rice paper and handed it to Prime Minister Li respectfully.

Prime Minister Li took it and glanced through it quickly, his expression becoming increasingly solemn.

After reading it, Prime Minister Li placed the rice paper on the table and said in a deep voice:

"This matter is of great importance and must not be made known to others."

As he spoke, he picked up the candlestick beside him and prepared to burn the rice paper.

Just as the flames were about to engulf the rice paper, Li Yueze suddenly shouted.

"Father, wait!"

Prime Minister Li stopped and looked at him in confusion.

"how?"

Li Yueze bit his lip and asked.

"Father, do you understand why you want to burn it? What do you think of the otherworldly souls mentioned above?"

"That's sheer nonsense, where does this otherworldly soul come from?

Don’t say I haven’t heard of your father, even your grandfather’s grandfather hasn’t heard of him.”

Prime Minister Li frowned and asked in a stern voice.

"Zer, did anyone know when you were transcribing?"

Li Yueze shook his head.

"When we came out of the library, the palace eunuchs searched us.

You forgot that I have a photographic memory and I wrote it down from memory after returning home."

Prime Minister Li nodded and placed the rice paper in front of the candlestick again.

A thin piece of rice paper quickly burned to ashes.

Li Yueze did not stop him, as he had already remembered it.

Seeing his father calm down, Li Yueze spoke again.

"Father, the Regent has now discovered the technique and method to break the Blood Grudge Soul Devouring Curse. I'm sure he will also send people to secretly search for the so-called otherworldly soul."

Prime Minister Li pondered for a long time.

"The prince will definitely not make this matter public. Our Li family must not get involved. You must not ask around, or you might end up in danger of death."

Li Yueze nodded in response.

"I understand, thank you for your teachings, father."

"Okay, go back now and remember what your father said today."

Prime Minister Li waved his hand.

Li Yueze bowed and took his leave, although the doubts in his heart were not completely resolved.

But he also knew that this matter was of great importance and did not dare to act rashly.

Not only that, but he had to hide his abilities better and not let anyone know that he was a soul from another world.

Thinking of this, I thought of Princess Sheng again.

Should we think of a way to remind her?

If the Regent knew that his princess was a soul from another world, would he do something bad to her?

Li Yueze tossed and turned, unable to sleep all night.

......

Chu Musheng finally found some clues, so he wouldn't give up easily.

He told Prince Rui and Prince Fu about the matter because it was closely related to them.

But he would never pin all his hopes on his two brothers.

With Chu Musheng's current power, if he wants to investigate clearly, he can mobilize the whole country.

It's just that it involves royal secrets, and the matter is extremely mysterious.

He had to do it in secret.

He sent secret letters to his confidants in various places by carrier pigeons.

Let them inquire about the strange people and things in each state capital.

Since it is a soul from another world, don't let any living creature go.

Anything that is unusual is collected.
