195 Change of Ownership

The imperial preceptor furrowed his brows and quickly performed another divination. He was immediately shocked. From the day the crown prince was born, the imperial preceptor had calculated that their country’s fortune would become more and more prosperous, and even move toward a great future. Later, after the crown prince was kidnapped and returned, the results of the divination were getting hazier.

The imperial preceptor confirmed it again and again and even went to check with the empress. The empress said that there was nothing wrong with the crown prince. The imperial preceptor thought that something had happened to the crown prince on this trip, which was why he had been running to Happy Town for many years. However, the fortune of their country was suddenly gone today. The long-lasting prosperity and the future glory of the country were all gone. It was as if everything that was destined had been disrupted and their fate had been restarted. There were even signs of a change of leadership in their country.

The imperial preceptor was shocked. He knew that something big had happened that would change their country. He quickly packed his things and entered the palace. The imperial preceptor looked a little serious, which made Liu Yao, who was accompanying him, feel uneasy. Yesterday, all the birds in Jing City looked up at the phoenix, and then the phoenix suddenly went crazy for no reason.

If Phoenix could hear Liu Yao’s words, it would definitely express her grievance. ‘What could I do? I’m also in despair. I can’t beat the real deal, but I can beat up the imposter to vent my anger!’ It was a phoenix that was as timid as a mouse!

Speaking of which, the appearance of phoenixes in Jing City was really an unprecedented event. More than ten years ago, the emperor had caught a pair of phoenixes. It was said that the pair of phoenixes were deeply in love with each other, and their relationship was stronger than gold. They were originally captured to be used as a sacrifice, but they were not killed. Instead, they were released after a few days. Who knew that when the two phoenixes were brought to Happy Town by the imperial preceptor, the crown prince accidentally let one go? The other one did not eat or drink for a few days and was about to die. In the end, he had no choice but to let it go. At that time, the crown prince had insisted that the phoenix had flown away and had been beaten up by the emperor when he returned to Jing City. Later, when the emperor found out that some of his parrots, gyrfalcons, and other rare animals had been stolen by the crown prince, he could not be bothered to beat him up anymore. It was certain that the Crown Prince had taken a lot of blame when he was young.

“I am certain that the Phoenix that spat at me that year was the one that caught Panpan a few days ago.” In the palace, the emperor’s words were very certain. That year, the Crown Prince told him that the two phoenixes had quarreled and one of them had run away in anger. The remaining one didn’t eat or drink and seemed to be on a hunger strike. The Emperor couldn’t stand it and let it go. Who knew that when he let the Phoenix go, the beast spat on his head, then flapped its wings and ran away?

“Back then, when the phoenix spat at me, the expression on its face was exactly the same as the expression on the phoenix that flew over a few days ago.” The emperor pursed his lips and thought to himself, ‘Could it be that the phoenix had returned to take revenge on me?’ The more the emperor thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible.’This beast is so petty. Didn’t it run away in anger? So many years have passed, and you’re still here to settle scores with me!’ Thinking of this, the emperor’s heart ached for Zhao Panpan. He felt that Zhao Panpan was being targeted by the phoenix because of this.

The imperial preceptor frowned and felt that something was not right. The phoenix was a symbol of auspiciousness, how could it be so stingy? That year, he had caught those two phoenixes because they were fated to be with him. He had wanted to form a good relationship with them, but he had not expected the crown prince to roast one of them! Yes, the imperial preceptor knew the truth back then, but the crown prince had asked him to help keep it a secret from the emperor. That was why they told the emperor that the phoenix had flown away because of an argument.

Therefore, the imperial preceptor also knew that the phoenix was not eaten by the crown prince, but by a little girl. After the phoenix was released, it did not seek revenge on the little girl but vented its anger on the emperor. The imperial preceptor was very surprised and always felt that there was a hidden meaning behind the phoenix’s actions. Thinking about it, it was not like it was a kid that had made a mistake and sought revenge from his parents. Moreover, the one who had made a mistake was not the crown prince.

“Your Majesty, please think about it carefully. Has there been anything unusual recently? Today’s divination shows that our country is going to have a change of ownership!” The imperial preceptor’s words immediately caused the emperor’s expression to change! He knew that the imperial preceptor had real ability. His words were not baseless.
