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

After Jiang Xianyue and the others left the palace, the Imperial Concubine immediately summoned the Grand Preceptor.

The Grand Preceptor rushed into the palace, only to find the Imperial Concubine's chambers deserted. There, he found her lying on a soft couch, pale-faced and looking like she had a terrible headache.

The Grand Master stepped forward and knelt down.

"Your subject pays respects to Your Highness, the Noble Consort."

The imperial concubine raised her pale hand, seemingly exhausted, not even wanting to lift her eyelids.

"Has something happened to Your Highness, Consort?"

"Isn't this the 'true love' you mentioned? She's incredibly arrogant now. Your involvement in this matter has not only failed to help the Second Prince at all, but has instead created trouble for him."

You've elevated Jiang Xian Yue's status so much. Now that Jiang Xian Yue is going to marry the Crown Prince, do you even know what that means?

"Grand Master, how should this matter be resolved?"

Jiang Xian Yue's fate was something he had calculated long ago. With the precious butterfly pendant and the array he had prepared since the Crown Prince's childhood, the Second Prince should now be taking over the Crown Prince's karma and destiny.

Even if he had taken the place of someone else, the Grand Master believed that no one would notice.

The Chosen One is Shen Shijing's opportunity; if he can seize it, he will surely be invincible.

The Grand Master truly had no idea where the problem lay.

"Is the Grand Preceptor going to tell the Emperor now that all the previous divinations were wrong, and that Jiang Xian Yue is not the chosen one at all? What will the Grand Preceptor say then? Does he have no regard for the reputation of the Star Palace?"

The more the Consort thought about it, the more troubled she became.

"I have helped you get to this place over the years, and this is how you repay me?"

Have you forgotten that back then, you weren't the head of the Star Palace? That was...

"Your Highness, I understand."

Over the years, I have only had one wish: to support the Second Prince.

The matter of this chosen one was an accident, and I will try to resolve it. If I fail to resolve it, I will simply remove her from power.

If the crown prince marries only an ordinary woman, then nothing else matters.

Hearing the Grand Preceptor's answer, the Imperial Concubine frowned.

"To tell you the truth, is Jiang Xianyue's fate really that good?"

She's so ungrateful and arrogant, she..."

The Grand Master's story is too complex to explain in a few words.

"The Second Prince once asked me to test this woman. Her fate was indeed not special, but it was not so when I did the divination before. This woman is very strange. Strange things have happened one after another since she came to the capital."

I must conclude that Jiang Xianyue has been replaced.

After all, her mother is that kind of person.

The imperial concubine rubbed her aching temples.

"By the way, I'm out of money. The incident in Liuzhou has been exposed, and the Second Prince is raising troops outside. All of that money is tied up in silver. You should prepare some."

Xinggong now holds absolute power in the capital, monopolizing all businesses from buying and selling talismans to exorcising ghosts. It shouldn't be too difficult for you to find a way to make some money.”

Jiang Xian Yue exposed the truth about Liuzhou City, which indeed wasted a lot of money, and those things would have to be rebuilt.

However, given Xinggong's money-making ability, he only needs to find a few important officials in the court to create some mysterious events, and he can easily make a large sum of money.

This is really not a big deal.

"And then there's the Emperor!"

The Imperial Concubine is now filled with worry.

"The Emperor had always disliked the Crown Prince, but now he has allowed Shen Qingge to live in the capital and has bestowed upon her the finest women to marry."

Has the Emperor's control loosened?

Something seems off to me.

The Grand Master pondered for a moment.

"Your Majesty is, after all, the Emperor of the Duan Dynasty. I dare not jeopardize the fate of the nation. Therefore, I can only use talismans to seal Your Majesty's feelings for the late Empress and change those feelings to those of the Imperial Concubine."

Therefore, His Majesty remains objective and impartial in matters of state. Your Highness, there is no need for you to worry about this.

The imperial concubine sat back down in her original spot and exhaled.

"Two years ago, our family was hunted down by the Emperor. I risked my life to impersonate him and come to the palace."

I abandoned my cultivation, gave up my love, flattered the Empress Dowager, and even did so many treasonous things, all so that one day, a child of my clan could ascend the throne.

Now is a crucial moment; the Imperial Advisor should know what to do.

The Imperial Concubine's tearful eyes were heartbreaking.

The Imperial Advisor's hand, which was about to wipe away the Imperial Concubine's tears, froze in mid-air.

"Yes, Wanwan, you've worked so hard. If it weren't for you back then, our entire clan would have been wiped out by now. We wouldn't have the good life we ​​have today. You hide in the Star Palace and do so many things under the guise of praying for the Emperor and divining for him."

The imperial concubine wiped away her tears herself.

"So, I hope you won't disappoint me, senior brother."

After speaking, the imperial concubine waved her hand.

These past few years have been exhausting.

A man she neither loved nor loved was by her side every day, his affections feigned, leaving her no time for herself.

The imperial concubine was very favored, but some things are relative.

……

On Jiang Xian Yue's side, shops in the city opened in a grand manner.

The three large characters "Tianxing Pavilion" attracted many people.

You must understand that in the capital city, the Grand Preceptor and the Star Palace have monopolized this industry for too long. When they open a new shop, everyone is filled with apprehension.

The Star Palace side was naturally aware of this, and they came to cause trouble when there were the most people around.

Jiang Xianyue and Xu Qingfeng were busy introducing the items when someone was carried in through the door.

The man's face was deathly pale, and the person with him burst into tears as soon as they entered the room.

“This shop is a scam. It hadn’t even officially opened yet when we came to check it out. We were tricked into buying talismans, but they didn’t bring peace to our home. In fact, my son was accidentally possessed by evil spirits and died. How are you going to compensate us?”

Jiang Xianyue remembered that before the business opened, some people came to ask about it.

Jiang Xianyue meant well and gave some things away, thinking of the neighbors' opinions and wanting to leave a good impression.

Unexpectedly, they've come knocking on our door now.

The woman held a yellow talisman in her hand and was chanting in a dignified manner.

“I don’t think what you’re selling here are protective talismans for homes, but rather things that attract demons and monsters to harm people. Where is your conscience when you sell this kind of stuff?”

"Let me see."

Jiang Xianyue reached out and took the talisman.

Each sect practices different spells and uses different talismans.

The talisman in front of me was almost identical to the ones I sold; it was my best-selling household peace talisman.

This talisman is effective in preventing evil spirits from invading.

Especially products from Wanggushan, they have never failed to deliver.

Jiang Xianyue could tell at a glance that the item was a counterfeit.

Because the talisman paper used is different.

In the capital city, the Star Palace and other sorcerers' shops all used locally sourced materials, but Jiang Xian Yue's talismans were not recent; they came from Wang Gu Mountain.

Wanggushan didn't have the same conditions as the capital, so the paper they used was naturally different.

"Whoever says this shop is a scam, I, Zhao Xiuxiu, will be the first to disagree."
