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

"Someone, summon the Imperial Preceptor."

At the Emperor's command, the Grand Preceptor arrived gracefully.

Everyone turned around, and the Emperor looked coldly in Zhang Yao's direction, saying to the Grand Preceptor, "Grand Preceptor, your arrival is just in time. The Crown Prince said that this woman cultivates sorcery, and she is the instigator of the events in Liuzhou City."

The Grand Master frowned, but after getting closer to Zhang Yao, he still nodded.

"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince is right."

The Grand Preceptor's voice was calm because on Wanggu Mountain, Jiang Xian Yue had the old man seal Zhang Yao's aura. Zhang Yao's face was very ugly, as if she hadn't expected to be identified.

She wanted to struggle, wanted to warn them, but now she was completely unable to move. She didn't know what kind of evil magic Jiang Xianyue had used back then, but Zhang Yao was extremely nervous.

Hearing the Grand Preceptor say the same thing, the Emperor was finally relieved.

The Crown Prince, however, remained calm and unperturbed.

"Father, you don't think I deliberately found a scapegoat for Qingge, do you?"

Actually, that's what the Emperor wanted to say. Everyone knows that Shen Shijing has been opposing the execution of Shen Qingge all these years.

If it weren't for the fact that Shen Qingge was the late Empress's child, she might have died long ago.

The Emperor himself probably didn't know why, but despite disliking Shen Shijing and his sister, he still felt some pity for them.

The emperor took a deep breath.

"In that case, it really isn't Qingge's fault."

Shen Shijing looked at the Grand Preceptor as if he had known things would turn out this way.

"Grand Preceptor, everything is over. Please take a look. Is Qingge still the same as before, with an inauspicious fate? Now that the matter of wronging Qingge has been investigated, we know that everything is just a matter of following the clues, it was only a matter of time."

Shen Shijing's tone even carried a hint of threat.

The Grand Preceptor's expression turned extremely grim. After weighing the matter carefully, he spoke up: "Looking at it now, the dark clouds obscuring the sun in the princess's destiny have long since disappeared without a trace. In the future, she will naturally not be incompatible with the Duan Dynasty and should be able to stay in the capital."

The Grand Master looked at Shen Shijing with suspicion.

The events in Liuzhou were meticulously planned, and Shen Shijing's ability to easily see through them proves that there is a mastermind around him, making the purple aura around Shen Shijing increasingly stronger.

The Grand Master is a wise man; before he has figured everything out, he must find a way to understand everything.

He was certain that Shen Shijing had a highly skilled person by his side.

"I wonder which master resolved this matter, Your Highness. I have devoted my life to studying metaphysics and numerology, and I would like to have a friendly exchange with this master."

Shen Shijing raised his eyes, his gaze still filled with disdain.

"Since he is a master, he naturally doesn't like extra sparring."

"One must not be disrespectful to the Imperial Preceptor."

The emperor gently stopped him, but then became curious as well.

"Who exactly possesses such abilities, and why isn't he recruited into the Star Palace?"

Facing his father, Shen Shijing dared not be so rude, but still spoke with a cold expression.

"Father, please forgive her. She is a recluse and does not wish to enter the court. It was only after I pleaded with her for a long time that she agreed."

Thinking of Jiang Xian Yue, Shen Shi Jing felt that such boasting made the Grand Preceptor's face turn green. There are always people more capable than you, and there's always something beyond your understanding. Doesn't this imply that the Grand Preceptor is incompetent, fond of court politics, and vain?

"Now that the matter has been resolved, Qingge wishes to stay in the capital. Please grant me permission, Father Emperor."

The emperor was somewhat unwilling.

"No!"

The Grand Master also spoke up in a timely manner.

"The Grand Master wants to make a divination or something, because of a single sentence from the Grand Master, Qingge has been wandering outside for many years."

If the Grand Master utters anything further detrimental to Qingge, I will naturally spare no expense to unravel the mystery.

Shen Shijing's gaze was icy cold, almost murderous.

The Grand Preceptor naturally couldn't afford to offend the Living Yama head-on. Shen Shijing's words were earnest, as if he could draw his sword and kill someone on the spot if he said something Shen Shijing didn't like to hear.

The Grand Preceptor might not care about a sickly prince who is nearing the end of his life, but he is afraid of the people behind him.

Ever since Jiang Xianyue came to the capital and the Second Prince came looking for her, it's as if an invisible hand is pushing through the mystery, investigating some unknown things from back then.

"Your Highness is quite capable. Not only did you bring a sorceress who practices evil magic, but you also brought something that is neither human nor ghost."

The Grand Master looked at the man in black robes.

Jiang Xian Yue left some of her malevolence on him, which diminished the cultivation and magical power of the black-robed man, Chang An. Now, Chang An quietly lowered his head.

"Your Highness, I volunteer to take the supplies and wipe them out completely."

"Go."

The emperor waved his hand, also out of fear.

The Grand Master looked at Zhang Yao again.

"As for this witch..."

"Although she practiced forbidden techniques to harm people, she was still an ordinary woman with a mortal body. If she was killed, she would simply die."

This nearly harmed Qingge; this vixen who killed so many people, I must deal with her personally.

Zhang Yao trembled, but she was now completely sealed and could not find any way out. She could only wail and wail, but the Grand Master did not notice.

"Since His Highness the Crown Prince insists, I will not participate at this time."

With that, the Grand Preceptor led Chang'an away.

The Grand Master had already figured out how to deal with Chang'an, but little did he know that someone was following him, scaling walls and leaping across rooftops.

The Grand Preceptor was summoned by the Emperor. Unless there were special circumstances, he did not carry any magical artifacts. He could only have someone suppress Chang'an's true form as they walked along the road. After they got into the sedan chair, Jiang Xian Yue still followed. When no one was around, he directly used his gourd magical artifact to take Chang'an away.

Chang'an is not a mortal, and Jiang Xian Yue's magical artifact is capable of dealing with her.

Finally, Jiang Xianyue smiled confidently.

"See? I told you, even if the Grand Master comes, I won't let anything happen to you."

"Master is truly capable."

"The matter my master entrusted to me, I will naturally take you to see it once I have recovered."

Chang'an's soul still needs to be repaired before Jiang Xian Yue can release him with peace of mind.

Having achieved her goal, Jiang Xianyue returned to Eunuch Su's place, just in time to see Shen Shijing and Shen Qingge leaving the palace.

Zhang Yao was being held captive, and something was done to her without anyone knowing.

Jiang Xianyue greeted Eunuch Su and then quietly followed, even gently patting Shen Shijing on the back.

"Miss Jiang is so at ease in the palace; it seems she's already familiar with the layout."

"I've been here several times, how could I not be familiar with it?"

In her past life, she had come here many more times.

The second prince was the emperor's favorite son, and he would have many audiences with the emperor.

In her past life, she chose the second prince, Shen Qinglan, so she inevitably had to learn how to navigate the city.

Shen Shijing looked at Zhang Yao.

"Everything is as Miss Jiang predicted. Although the Grand Preceptor looked worried today, he did not help her."

Could it be that the Grand Preceptor was completely unaware of what happened in Liuzhou, and that Miss Jiang was mistaken?

The Grand Master's aiding and abetting of evil is unimaginable.

Jiang Xianyue pouted.

"I don't know how much the Grand Master was involved; he didn't help simply because he couldn't see Zhang Yao's true nature."

The brother and sister in front of him looked surprised.
