"Your Majesty, this child Suisui is indeed sowhat unique, which is why she has attracted unwanted attention.
As a commoner, I had no choice but to conceal her true birthdate details.
If Your Majesty truly wishes for the nation’s prosperity, it would be best if you also kept her origins secret from the public!"
Ji Youyuan finally compromised. Little girl, you really almost got yourself killed!
"What do you an by this? Are you trying to threaten ? Do you an to say that if I were to punish your Ji Family, you would dare to kill her and thus affect the fortune of my Great Han Country?"
How audacious, daring to threaten ! The young Emperor gritted his teeth in rage.
"That’s not the case, Your Majesty. Do you know where the large number of children who have recently gone missing have ended up?"
Upon hearing this, the young Emperor’s expression turned solemn as he seed to make a connection. He sharply demanded, "Continue!"
As he spoke of this matter, Ji Youyuan’s expression also beca extrely serious.
"Before I discuss that, Your Majesty, allow to ntion another matter first."
"What is it?"
"Over a month ago, I received a ssage from my mother, urging to return ho before nightfall. She said my niece’s life was hanging by a thread.
When I returned, I learned that it was my niece’s own grandma who, having believed slanderous talk, declared Suisui a harbinger of misfortune, a reincarnated jinx, a solitary star fated to bring doom to all her kin.
She claid that as long as Suisui was around, their Li Family would soon die out.
Therefore, her grandma found an excuse, beat Suisui, and then intended to bury her alive."
"Wait, you’ve already ntioned this. What does it have to do with you asking to conceal her birthdate details?
Is it because your niece didn’t die, you’re afraid word will get out, and the Li Family will co to harm her again?"
When the young Emperor asked this, his face held a hint of a smirk.
If what Ji Youyuan said was true, he would die laughing! The renowned Ji Family, afraid of a re peasant household?
"Your Majesty, do you know what I discovered when I investigated the mass grave where the Li Family attempted to bury my Suisui alive?"
"What was it?"
The young Emperor felt an inexplicable nervousness; a mass grave was certainly not a good place!
"The grave pit dug by the Li Family was like this!"
Ji Youyuan dipped his fingers in tea, drew a diagram on the stone table, and then wrote down the dinsions and orientation.
"A mass grave is a place of extre Yin. Combined with such a grave pit, if a person is buried alive face down..."
"I know this! It’s the Fortune Transfer Technique!"
The young Emperor’s face turned pale. "This technique is malicious and insidious! The caster must either possess exceptionally profound skills or pay with their own lifespan to perform it. How could a re peasant family have soone capable of casting such a technique?"
Could this truly be an ordinary peasant family? The young Emperor was deeply skeptical.
Ji Youyuan didn’t believe it either. That was why he had kept everyone from the Li Family alive, completely unhard.
"I asked the Li Family, and they said this thod was taught by a Celestial Master from the Sancai Temple."
"The Sancai Temple?"
"Yes, the Sancai Temple. I personally went to investigate it later.
Those so-called Celestial Masters at the Sancai Temple are all charlatans, fake Daoists who swindle food and drink. This makes the matter even more perplexing."
"So she..." The young Emperor paused, considering his words.
"I heard from Youzhi that Nanjiang intends to use forty-nine children from my Great Han Country for a celestial sacrifice. The main offering among them is even a child of great fortune!
I’ve also heard that another child from the Li Family is also one of great fortune, and she is on the list of those missing children!
What are your thoughts on this matter?"
