." Xiao Yuge panicked, how was she supposed to explain this.“I always thought that as long as I was good enough to you, spoiled you, and loved you, even if you were a stubborn stone, you would eventua..."But Your Majesty, you just..." Xiao Yuge didn't expect the Emperor to go back on his word so suddenly.

"My dear, didn't you hear what Your Majesty said Or are you defying his orders Go back and prepare the dance right away!" The Queen beside her quickly interrupted.

Although Xiao Yu Ge was upset inside, she knew that arguing with the Emperor at this time wouldn't be a wise move. If she angered Tian Yan, he could easily find an excuse to imprison her.

After Xiao Yu Ge left, the Emperor suddenly slammed his fist on the dragon case. Everyone present was so frightened that they all knelt down. The Emperor angrily pointed at the National Teacher: “National Teacher! National Teacher! How could you have deceived me like this! Last time you swore to me that Xiao Yu Ge was the true chosen one with great fortune, how can this be today How do you explain this to me”

For this matter, he has repeatedly made things difficult for the fifteenth prince, forcing him to have a seizure and fall into a coma due to the poison in his body. He is already deeply remorseful. Now, if anything goes wrong again, he will definitely chop the national teacher into pieces.

"Your Majesty, the Divining Mirror truly is a divine artifact. Today's events, I, too, do not know the reason for" The Grand Astrologer also had a dumbfounded expression. Logically speaking, this shouldn't be the case.

"If Xiao Yu Ge is not the woman of destiny, then tell me, who truly is" The Emperor's face was grim, his expression no longer simply anger.

"Your Majesty, please calm your anger! I can stake my head on it that Princess Hu Guo is the true daughter of destiny. As for why the Kaiten Mirror didn't change, I will definitely give Your Majesty a reasonable explanation!" He believed he wouldn't be wrong, so there was only one explanation: the problem was with the Kaiten Mirror itself.

"Alright! I'll give you a few days. If you can't prove that Xiao Yuge is the true Air Fortune Girl, then I'll hold you accountable!" This was the first time the Emperor had ever roared at the National Teacher like this.

"Your Majesty's command shall be obeyed!" The Imperial Advisor gritted his teeth and accepted the decree.

The Imperial Preceptor, having left the Empress Dowager's chambers, hurried back to his residence and immediately asked his young apprentice: "Ai Yi, has anyone come to the residence these past few days"

Ah Yi shook his head, seeing Master's iron-blue face, he was a little scared: "Returning to Master, not yet."

The national master furrowed his brows, his sharp eyes sweeping over A-Yi. He was about to leave, but suddenly stopped: "Where's the key to the secret room"

"Master, here you are." Ah Yi hurriedly took out a bunch of keys from his pocket and handed them to the National Teacher.

The national teacher took the key chain, carefully inspected it, and found nothing amiss: "Have you been carrying this key all the time" Perhaps he was wary of anyone, including the thin Ah Yi before him.

Ai Yi knelt down in fear and said, “Master, my disciple has always been with me, even while eating and sleeping. I haven't neglected you for a moment!”

"Hmm." The Grand Tutor waved his hand dismissively, signaling for him to leave.

After opening the secret room, he found it filled with treasures of all kinds. He walked in and inspected them, finding nothing amiss. Then, he came to a portrait and gently caressed it. His careful manner was like that of someone polishing a priceless relic. Afterward, he held it close and murmured to himself, “A’rang, wait for me just a little longer, soon we can be together!”

"Uncle! Uncle!"

Soon, Ye Lin's voice came from outside. The national teacher's brows furrowed instantly, and he got up and carefully put the portrait back in its original place: "A-Er, I'll come back later to accompany you!" With that, he walked out of the secret room.

"Father!" Ye Lin was searching for the National Master everywhere. When she turned around, she unexpectedly saw him standing there. She couldn't help but be stunned: "Father, so you were here all along."

"Lin'er, is something the matter" The national teacher had already reverted to his usual expressionless demeanor.

"Master, my medicine is finished..."

"So, this is why you fainted yesterday" The Grand Tutor's eyes instantly turned sharp: "Lin'er, I told you, you can't stop your medicine. Don't you remember"

"Father, please forgive me! I've been so busy with the wedding arrangements these days that I completely forgot. I know I was wrong! I promise to remember to take my medicine properly next time!" Ye Lin hastily knelt on the ground, trembling like a startled kitten.

Seeing her like this, the Grand Tutor pursed his lips: "Alright, get up." After saying that, he took out a bottle from his body and handed it to her: "Remember to take your medicine well, don't worry the Third Highness too much."

"Yes! Godfather!"

"Recently, has the Third Prince asked you anything" The National Teacher pondered for a moment and then inquired again.

Ye Lin shook her head: "The Third Prince rarely speaks to me. Even when he does, it's just ordinary greetings." Her eyes seemed a little downcast as she said this: Perhaps the prince was naturally detached and unwilling to speak much with people, but she had clearly seen him conversing happily with others.

"Fool!" The national teacher, upon hearing this, instantly grew furious: "After all this time, you still can't even capture the heart of a man. What use are you"

"Father, please calm your anger!" Ye Lin hurriedly knelt down again. "Lin'er has tried her best, but Your Highness is still so distant from Lin'er..."

"Now that he's agreed to marry you, remember that men tend to like gentle and considerate women. As long as you treat him well enough, his heart will surely be yours." At the time, he only thought of supporting Qian Yi'an, who was disabled at the time, as a way to control him. But now that Qian Yi'an's legs are healed, he seems to have vaguely sensed the hidden feelings in Qian Yi'an's heart. If he had known this beforehand, he shouldn't have let him stand up!

"Alright, you may retire now. Be sure to make plenty of tonics for His Highness and win his heart!"

"Understood, Father. Ye Lin is retiring now." Ye Lin stood up and obediently retreated.

The Grand Master watched her retreating figure, his face etched with gloom. His hands hanging by his sides clenched tightly: After so many years, he had painstakingly amassed everything, qi, celestial calamity, life calamity, the vessel was complete! Now there was only the Dragon's Gall to acquire before it was all finished! At this crucial moment, he absolutely couldn't allow any mistakes!

Damn it, the Sky Gazing Mirror, how could it malfunction at this critical moment He couldn't figure it out, could the problem be with Xiao Yuge He narrowed his eyes, recalling Xiao Yuge's performance today. She was so confident, as if she already knew the Sky Gazing Mirror wouldn't work. How could she be so certain

He lightly patted his palms, and a figure in a black robe quietly appeared beside him, bowing respectfully.

"Immediately investigate Xiao Yuge. Find out who she's been in contact with, what she's done, and report everything to me in detail!" He refused to believe that Xiao Yuge could have uncovered the secret of the Kuaitian Mirror. The Emperor had only given him a few days. If he couldn't prove that Xiao Yuge was the true Qi Yun girl within those few days, the Emperor would truly hold him accountable!

"Yes!"

"Also, have you all found the Yin-Yang children I asked you to look for"my Ruyi Pavilion is under my protection for as long as they stay here. You mustn't be so foolish again!" Feng Yannie gestured for her to get up."Yes." Wu Xiu'nia wiped her tears and stood up."Is your...
