Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ms. Lu was paralyzed on the spot. She could not stop crying.
The child was bewitched. She was truly bewitched. She could not bear to see Xie Qiao having a good life, nor could she bear to see her mother having a good life!
Pei Wanyue had gotten to know quite a number of people during the days when she lived with Ms. Lu. Now that she had gotten someone to spread the news, the other party did not dare to accept the job after learning that it was about the royal family. However, Pei Wanyue had indeed given quite a lot of money.
Hence, he did as Pei Wanyue requested.
Within a day, there were people in the city saying that the future Princess Consort had a lethal destiny. If she were to marry the Crown Prince, she would definitely endanger the royal family.
It was just a rumor. At first, not many people paid much attention to it.
However, on the second day, a few more charlatans appeared and walked past the door of the Xie family. They looked as if they were shaking their heads and sighing.
However, last night, a meteor streaked across the sky. Some people said it was a meteor that was threatening to destroy the foundation of the country.
They were just short of saying that if Xie Qiao married the Crown Prince, the Crown Prince would definitely be tortured to death.
In private, many people already felt that the Princess Consort from the Xie family would definitely have her future ruined.
Pei Wanyue had used almost all of her belongings to spread this rumor. Hearing the rumors about Xie Qiao out there, she was both nervous and excited.
In this lifetime, she knew that it would be impossible for her to be rich and famous again.
However, she would not allow Xie Qiao to live a good life as well!
“Grand Preceptor, is there anything wrong with the Xie family’s young lady’s destiny?” The Emperor called for the grand preceptor and asked.
They had already matched the young lady’s birth details with the Crown Prince’s. At that time, the match showed good luck.
Now, the Emperor wanted to confirm it again.
The grand preceptor of the current dynasty did not have a name. It was said that he had lost his memory and wandered around the bandit’s mountain stronghold. As he had helped the previous head of the mountain stronghold to avoid a few disasters, he had always been respected.
After Xie Niushan became the mountain stronghold head, he had also treated him well. He was the most well-read person in the entire mountain stronghold. He always had a confused look on his face, yet whatever that came out of his mouth was meaningful. Thus, Xie Niushan got him to teach the people in the mountain stronghold to read.
Later, when Xie Niushan became an official, the first thing he did was to recommend the grand preceptor.
At that time, the Emperor summoned this grand preceptor alone and talked for a few hours. Then, he was given a high official position. An official position that… Xie Niushan could not compare.
However, Xie Niushan was not jealous. He knew in his heart that his grand preceptor was very powerful.
Back when the grand preceptor was wandering around the mountain stronghold, Leader Peng had given him a name—Peng Tianming!
It was also a compliment to his accuracy in divination.
Nowadays, the grand preceptor was mainly in charge of the feng shui matters in spirituality. Usually, he would look at the stars and occasionally be summoned by the Emperor to ask a few questions. He did not ask much about other matters.
This person was also the quietest among all the officials in the capital.
However, no one dared to underestimate him.
This grand preceptor looked like an immortal and was not young anymore.
At this moment, his expression was indifferent. He glanced at the birth details and made some calculations. Then, he said, “When this young lady from the Xie family was born, I was around. She indeed has the fate of lethal destiny.”
When he said that, the Emperor’s expression became more solemn.
“She has a lethal destiny. Those who are related to her by blood will definitely be affected if they’re too close to her. Hence, she was raised by someone else.” The grand preceptor did not lie at all.
“Then… Grand Preceptor, will her lethal destiny harm the Crown Prince?” The Emperor quickly asked.
“The Crown Prince and she are not related by blood. It is fine.” The grand preceptor did not say much.
Hearing this, the Emperor heaved a sigh of relief.
All these years, the Crown Prince had not been interested in getting a wife. Now that he was ready, he did not wish for the marriage to change.
The grand preceptor was better at reading the stars, but he could also see through this simple principle of fate.. Therefore, the Emperor believed his words.
