Chapter 134 Unlucky
Sheng Nanzhi raised her eyes and met Shi Huaizhi's gaze.
There was an obvious smile in Shi Huaizhi's eyes, and there seemed to be some other meaning in it. Sheng Nanzhi couldn't help but dodge away and put the copper coin in the tortoise shell.
"Your Majesty, please come yourself."
Shi Huaizhi responded, shook the tortoise shell, and was about to throw the copper coin out of the shell when he heard a clear and crisp sound.
Sheng Nanzhi and Shi Huaizhi looked in the direction of the sound at the same time, and saw a long crack appearing on the turtle shell.
Sheng Nanzhi raised his eyebrows: "Prince Yi, a cracked tortoise shell is a bad omen."
"Your marriage may not be smooth."
Shi Huaizhi's face suddenly darkened, and he just stared at the tortoise shell in his hand in silence without saying a word.
After a long moment, he stood up and said, "How many years have you used your tortoise shell? It's all cracked."
"Wait a minute, I'll find you two harder turtle shells."
Shi Huaizhi left straight away, leaving Sheng Nanzhi staring at the cracked turtle shell and sighing softly, what a bad fate.
Only she herself knew that the cracks in the tortoise shell were not due to Shi Huaizhi's unhappy marriage.
But it was because what Shi Huai calculated and sought was related to her.
A doctor does not treat himself, and a fortune teller does not tell his own fortune.
Since her rebirth, her fate has been tied to Shi Huaizhi; she is his wife.
No matter how hard the tortoise shell Shi Huaizhi found, it was useless because she couldn't calculate it.
But Shi Huaizhi seemed very persistent about this matter. Early the next morning, Shi Huaizhi brought two turtle shells.
"Forget it."
Sheng Nanzhi looked at the two turtle shells on the ground, which were slightly larger than the stools, in a daze, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
"You want me to tell fortunes with these two behemoths?"
Shi Huaizhi said with a cold face: "Well, you calculate it."
"These two turtles are hundreds of years old. Their shells are thick and hard. I want to see how they crack."
It is indeed not easy to break, but it is also difficult to put it together, hold it and shake it, right?
"..."
Before Sheng Nanzhi could react, Shi Huaizhi had already extended his hand towards her: "Where are the copper coins?"
Sheng Nanzhi silently handed the copper coin to Shi Huaizhi. Shi Huaizhi took the copper coin and placed it between the two tortoise shells. He closed the tortoise shells, then picked up the tortoise shells with both hands, shook them vigorously a few times, and then threw the copper coin out.
The copper coins rolled down, but the three coins were stacked together.
Sheng Nanzhi frowned and said nothing.
"Does the hexagram have to be drawn six times in a row? Then I'll do it five more times."
But six times in a row, the three coins were stacked together each time.
Sheng Nanzhi knew the reason very well, but she only said: "I told you before, it's unlucky."
Shi Huaizhi raised his eyes and looked at Sheng Nanzhi, which made Sheng Nanzhi feel uneasy.
She pretended to look down at the copper coins on the ground: "Fate is something you can't force."
What she and Shi Huaizhi want is completely different.
We are destined not to be fellow travelers.
Although she didn't know what the future would be like for her and Shi Huaizhi, instead of getting entangled with it, it would be better to give up Shi Huaizhi's thoughts as soon as possible.
Sheng Nanzhi smiled and said, "Your Majesty, let's take it one step at a time."
"Maybe time will give you the answer, and it will also give you some surprises inadvertently."
Shi Huaizhi did not answer her. He just silently put away the tortoise shell and copper coins, and then left. He did not come back for the whole day.
The next day, Sheng Nanzhi had just gotten up when she heard the doorman's voice outside reporting, "Princess, Concubine Liu from the Sheng Mansion is at the door, asking to see you."
Sheng Nanzhi's eyelashes trembled. She naturally knew who Aunt Liu came for.
Shuanghan looked down at Sheng Nanzhi's expression and said loudly, "Didn't you tell Concubine Liu? His Majesty ordered the princess to close the door and not see anyone. His Majesty dared not disobey the order."
The doorman was also embarrassed: "I have said it, but Aunt Liu said that she will be waiting outside the door."
"She said she would not see the princess and would not allow her to disobey His Majesty's order."
"I only ask the princess to come to the gate of the mansion and have a few words with her through the door."
Sheng Nanzhi paused slightly, and remembered an old story.
In his previous life, after Wen Tingyun was recognized, he had no foundation in the court, but was regarded as a thorn in the eyes and a thorn in the flesh by several other princes. He was plotted against several times and was in great danger.
Once, she was in danger and was imprisoned in the sky prison.
Aunt Liu went to visit her in the prison, but told her that if anything unexpected happened and she was really in dire straits, she must remember to sever ties with the Sheng family.
It is said that there are so many people in the Sheng family, and the implications are so wide that they must not be implicated and get into trouble.
But now it’s just a different person, the one in danger has become Sheng Qingqian, why has Aunt Liu’s attitude changed completely?
Even if it means risking disobeying her order, he must find a way to see her.
She was indeed a little curious about what Aunt Liu wanted to say to her.
Sheng Nanzhi stood up and said, "Okay, then I'll say a few words to her through the door."
When Sheng Nanzhi arrived at the door, Aunt Liu had been waiting outside for a long time.
"Aunt." The door was opened a crack, and Sheng Nanzhi's voice floated out from the crack.
"Nanzhi!" Outside the door, Aunt Liu's voice was extremely urgent.
"Nanzhi, you know about Qingqian's situation, right? It was you who brought Qingqian into the palace that day. It was you who asked Qingqian to enter the palace to announce the good news to Concubine Xian. You have to help her."
Sheng Nanzhi took a deep breath, and suddenly a thought arose in his mind, similar to, as expected.
As expected, Aunt Liu came for Sheng Qingqian.
But even though she knew that Concubine Liu came for Sheng Qingqian, she couldn't help but feel her heart chilled when she heard Concubine Liu's words.
"Auntie, you say this as if everything is my fault."
"I didn't ask her to tell Consort Xian the good news. I just asked casually."
"I was about to leave when Sheng Qingqian caught up with me and said she wanted to go to the palace with me."
"Besides, Auntie asked me to help her? How can I help her?"
"She committed the crime of confusing the royal bloodline."
"I am just a princess of the Yi Kingdom in name only. Although I have the title of Princess of the Yi Kingdom, I have no status or power at all. For such a big matter, it would be more effective for you to ask my father for help than to ask me for help."
Aunt Liu naturally knew: "I... I have already begged the master."
But Shenglin's attitude...
Sheng Yunrou at least has the prophecy of the Phoenix Lord, which can still serve as her talisman, but Qingqian is in danger. Sheng Lin is obviously ready to abandon Qingqian.
Aunt Liu gritted her teeth and said, "Your third sister is my biological daughter. I raised her single-handedly. I know her temper very well. Although she is indeed very anxious to get pregnant with the Seventh Prince's child, she would never do such a thing."
"There must be something hidden in this."
"You are the Princess of Yi, you must have a way. You can ask someone to help investigate what is going on. Your third sister has been plotted against."
