The Crown Princess calculated with her fingers and the prince was terrified.

Jiang Xianyue only rested for a short while. When she woke up, there was a noisy commotion at the door.

Jiang Xianyue opened the door, and a man dressed in a Taoist robe appeared in the doorway.

He held a compass in his hand and muttered some incantation.

In short, it's incredibly noisy.

After waking up, the energy she had been carrying weakened, and Jiang Xian Yue in the bronze mirror appeared noticeably weak.

"Sister, could it be that we've been possessed by an evil spirit? As children, we've taken over our mother's courtyard, so naturally Heaven won't protect us."

Jiang Ruyan's voice was like a silver bell, but her words were barbed and extremely unpleasant.

The man's compass nearly shoved into Jiang Xianyue's face.

“This is the proper place in the inner quarters. How dare you seize it at will, Madam? If this woman does not move out, there will be no peace in the household in the future.”

Jiang Xianyue looked at the mother and daughter in front of her, their faces radiating smugness.

They think they can just bring over a charlatan to persuade me to give up my courtyard and move to the woodshed? No way! His great-aunt's profession is right here; will she tolerate such insolence?

"The Taoist priest's skills aren't all that great either. He said this is the main courtyard, and only children of the principal wife should live here. Does he expect a concubine to take over such a place..."

“Xian Yue, Zhang Tianshi is from the Star Palace. That’s the Star Palace, and the Grand Master is here too. How dare you question Zhang Tianshi’s abilities?”

Qin Yu's explanation was actually a way of teaching Jiang Xianyue a lesson for not knowing what was good for her.

The Star Palace could replace the Imperial Astronomical Bureau of previous dynasties. It could not only predict fate, but the Star Palace of the Duan Dynasty was even more powerful. Masters of metaphysics and divination gathered there. They could catch ghosts, look at feng shui, and even exorcise evil spirits and avoid misfortune.

The people of the Duan Dynasty worshipped him immensely, and no one questioned the Grand Master.

Jiang Xian Yue's disdainful attitude stood in stark contrast to the others.

"Could the Celestial Master of the Star Palace have misjudged me? Could he have been blinded by money and material desires and was spouting nonsense to me?"

I've heard that those who practice metaphysics and divination, if they spout nonsense, become blind and incompetent masters.

"Such a young woman, yet she has such courage."

Zhang Tianshi was furious, but there was a clear hint of guilt in his anger.

"Look, Celestial Master, you're drooling, and you still say you're not just talking nonsense."

With a flick of Jiang Xianyue's fingertip, Zhang Tianshi's eyes and mouth instantly twisted, his face filled with terror.

Jiang Xianyue looked at Qin Yu with disdain.

"That's it?"

“Aunt Qin, I’m in a hurry to leave. If your things are still here when I come back, I’ll throw them all away.”

Furthermore, what you've done violates the laws of nature. Don't harm Master Zhang and ruin his cultivation for your mere nonsense.

"Master Zhang, Zhang..."

Before Qin Yu could finish speaking, Zhang Tianshi fled in panic.

"Jiang Xianyue, you..."

Enraged, Qin fainted.

She didn't know this was just the beginning.

Jiang Xian Yue was reborn, and when faced with this kind of scoundrel, she was unwilling to even give him a perfunctory response.

……

Shen Shijing was a gloomy man who disliked socializing. Although the Crown Prince's residence was extremely luxurious, the location where it was built was rather remote.

Jiang Xianyue found it using her memories from her past life.

In her past life, she was Shen Qinglan's wife and a mortal enemy of Shen Shijing. She had been to the place where her mortal enemy lived countless times, each time trying to negotiate, threaten, or even take action on behalf of Shen Qinglan.

Looking back, Jiang Xianyue really wanted to slap herself.

She felt rather awkward meeting him here again.

What's there to be afraid of? I've been reborn, not Shen Shijing.

Although she felt embarrassed, she insisted that Shen Shijing didn't remember these things, and handled the situation with ease. Lacking any martial arts skills, she could only climb walls, knowing the location of Shen Shijing's study, and following that wall…

Meanwhile, in the study separated by a wall, Shen Shijing was staring blankly at the memorial in front of him.

They also seemed surprised that they could come back.

"Your Highness, the eldest daughter of the Jiang family just returned to the manor today, and the Second Prince went to inquire after her."

The two exchanged pleasantries for quite some time, and Miss Jiang returned home safely, seemingly unpunished!

Upon hearing Liang Feng's words, Shen Shijing, who had been indifferent, crumpled the book in his hand. Although his face remained calm, his heart was far from at peace.

"Second Brother is really in a hurry!"

Shen Shijing put down what he was holding.

"I never expected that my second brother would leave at this time. He must have been so eager."

She should be happier now.

There was a hint of gritted teeth in Shen Shijing's words.

"The princes have all taken to heart what the Grand Preceptor said earlier."

In the future, not only the Second Prince, but also other princes will probably try to curry favor with Miss Jiang because of the fortune-telling. It's really uncertain who will emerge victorious.

Wasn't it also for this reason that His Highness the Crown Prince found the only route back to the capital from Wanggu Mountain, and then...?

"boom!"

Shen Shijing slammed his hand heavily on the table.

"I never paid any attention to that woman, but I was just curious. The claim that she was born with a phoenix destiny is just a compliment from the fortune teller."

If she chooses the Second Prince, her destiny as a phoenix will become a dead end!

"what!"

Liang Feng didn't know when Shen Shijing had started calculating people's fates. Just as he was about to speak, Shen Shijing muttered to himself.

"If you go blind again in this life and die again, no one will avenge you."

"But I doubt you'll listen to what I'm saying. After all, no woman can resist Shen Qinglan's charms."

After saying that, Shen Shijing clutched his chest, struggling to breathe, and vomited blood.

Liang Feng quickly helped Shen Shijing up.

"His Highness's health is deteriorating rapidly. I will immediately seek out a renowned physician..."

"No need. I'm going out to catch my breath. If those people arrive, have them wait in the side courtyard!"

Liang Feng went out with a worried look on his face. Shen Shijing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and went to the courtyard outside the study.

Just then, Jiang Xianyue climbed up the high wall and was about to come down when the sensitive and suspicious man saw through her plan.

"who!"

Just as Jiang Xianyue was about to speak, a figure struck out with a palm strike as fast as lightning.

Quick and ruthless, leaving no room for compromise.

Jiang Xianyue should have realized long ago that he was extremely guarded. Apart from his study, which was his own space, all other places were guarded by secret guards, like an impregnable fortress.

And with Shen Shijing here personally, it's even more dangerous.

Jiang Xianyue managed to dodge the killing move, but she slipped and fell off the wall in a moment of carelessness.

"Shen Shijing, help me!"

Jiang Xianyue was so nervous that she shouted out without thinking.

Shen Shijing frowned slightly, instantly recognizing the voice's owner. Afraid of hurting the person, he quickly gave a self-deprecating laugh.

Jiang Xianyue is quite capable; she can handle this move I made.

Even so, he couldn't help but move, just in time to see Jiang Xianyue fall off the high wall. Even though he felt that Jiang Xianyue didn't need it—that in her previous life she came and went from this place as if it were her own home—it was all for Shen Qinglan's sake.

This made Shen Shijing, who happened to still remember these things, grit his teeth in anger.

But a moment later, Jiang Xianyue landed steadily in Shen Shijing's arms.

This fall, without any skill involved, also made Shen Shijing stumble.

He probably didn't want to take it, but by the time he thought of it, his hands were already outstretched.
