"Your Majesty, I have an idea."

"Say!"

"I think we should ask the Imperial Observatory to calculate the fortune of this witch. If the emperor knew that this person was a risk to the Great Zhou, then the prince..."

After hearing this, Prince Fenyang's eyes lit up. That's right, why didn't he think of it? As long as he could prove that Yun Zhihan was a witch, wouldn't it be easy to eliminate her?

"Okay, that's a good idea, hahaha!"

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Imperial Observatory was recommended by Prime Minister Liu, and the two have a very close relationship. What do you think?"

The Chief Secretary did not continue speaking, but Prince Fenyang understood immediately.

"Yes, that's right. It seems that it's time to cooperate with that old guy. He is already quite old. Before I take the throne, it would be worthwhile for him to help me."

"Your Majesty is wise."

"Zuo Teng!"

"My subordinate is here."

"Go and prepare, secretly observe Yun Zhihan's whereabouts, and wait until the Imperial Observatory reports to the emperor, then you can take action."

"Yes, I obey!"

The three of them smiled at each other, thinking that their plan was flawless, but they didn't know that Yun Zhihan already knew everything.

"Hanhan, it seems that King Fenyang has not given up on you."

"How could he give up?" Yun Zhihan had a headache. "But fortunately, the prince has already sent people to keep an eye on the Liu family and the palace. By the way, what is the relationship between the Imperial Observatory and Prime Minister Liu?"

"Well, he should be considered a lifesaver, right? This Qin Tianjian was originally a street fortune teller. Later, he taught himself classics, took the imperial examination, and even passed the exam."

"Prince Fenyang found that although this person was not a great talent, he was a talented person, especially in some evil ways. So he helped him cheat in the Spring Examination and passed the exam as a Jinshi."

"The emperor knew that he was proficient in the five arts of metaphysics, so he made him the Imperial Observatory. From then on, he regarded Prime Minister Liu as his benefactor."

"What is this person's name?" Yun Zhihan asked.

"Qi Bin."

"Are there any other ministers in the court who have a good relationship with him?"

Tongzi checked the melon box and shook his head, "No, Qi Bin is usually very low-key. He knows that he is not worthy of the position, so he never dares to show up in front of the ministers, for fear of being exposed."

"Who else were the ministers who participated in the fraud?"

"Uh, none of them work in the court anymore. There were three of them in total, one became a monk, and two died inexplicably."

Yun Zhihan was stunned. It turned out that Prime Minister Liu was also a real man who never showed his true identity. He was hiding his true identity quite deeply.

But there was one thing she didn't understand. Prime Minister Liu was already in a high position, so why did he set up the Imperial Observatory? What could it do for him?

Tongzi explained, "Of course it's because of Concubine Liu. Although Prime Minister Liu didn't dare to investigate Prince Fenyang, he knew some things very well."

"The Imperial Observatory is his shield. Once Concubine Liu's affair is exposed, he can use the will of heaven to save the Liu family's life."

"You're thinking very far ahead." Yun Zhihan really admires him.

"Hanhan, what are you going to do? Although Qi Bin doesn't have any great abilities, he is a great speaker and is good at fooling people. If the emperor and the prince believe him, you will be in a passive position."

"It's okay, just let it go. If I come forward to stop it, it will arouse suspicion from others."

Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered what Uncle Wen said a few days ago.

He said that Dongyue country had developed a magical medicine that could affect people's minds. Those who took it would unconsciously tell the truth.

It seems that this time, she can help Ahong test the efficacy of this medicine.

……

Late at night, palace.

"Your humble servant greets His Majesty."

"Flat body."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Qi Bin has the appearance of a pale and weak scholar. He seems to be well-mannered, but in fact he is a vulgar villain.

He kept more than a dozen concubines at home, and countless mistresses outside. As for his wife, she had long been locked up in the back house and was not allowed to leave the house.

"Your Majesty summoned me here late at night. I wonder why?"

Prince Fenyang handed him a piece of paper and said, "Take a look at the eight characters on it. Is there anything wrong with it?"

Qi Bin took the note, counted with his fingers, and couldn't help but frowning. He couldn't figure it out. This person's fate was extremely special. It seemed that the secret could not be revealed.

Seeing him sweating, the chief secretary took the initiative to ask, "Master of the Imperial Observatory, do you think this person is a little strange?"

"Exactly!"

Prince Fenyang smiled slightly, "Your Excellency, what is the possibility that this person is a witch?"

Qi Bin understood immediately and flattered, "Your Highness, this girl has a special fate, a typical fate of the underworld. Now that she has mistakenly entered the world of the living, I'm afraid she will encounter many disasters."

"Well, your Excellency is right. I have already noticed it. I believe the Imperial Observatory knows what to do?"

"I understand. When the weather becomes abnormal, I will go to see His Majesty and tell him that if this woman is not removed, the Great Zhou Dynasty will surely suffer disasters in the future."

"Well, then I'll have to trouble the Lord of the Imperial Observatory!" Prince Fenyang was very satisfied with his answer, "Chief Secretary, reward!"

"Yes! Your Majesty."

After Qi Bin took the silver, he left in a hurry.

When he came out, he kept muttering in his heart, this woman is so unlucky, she has such a good fate, but she actually offended the prince. He just doesn't know whether God can grant the prince's wish.

But he was worried that he would lose his head once the truth was revealed, so after thinking it over, he decided to tell half and keep the other half, that way, if something went wrong, he would be able to get away with it unscathed.

However, just as Qi Bin walked out of the palace, a dark shadow knocked him unconscious and took him away in the dark and windy night.

"Master, this man sneaked out of the palace and was caught by me."

"Well done, wake him up. I have something to ask him."

"Yes!" Xia Quan poured a basin of cold water on Qi Bin without hesitation.

Qi Bin just felt a chill all over his body and opened his eyes drowsily.

"Damn! Who hit me from behind?"

"How dare you!" Xia Quan slapped him in the face, "Open your dog eyes and see clearly who is sitting there!"

Qi Bin then came to his senses, got up from the ground and saw that it was the prince.

"Your Highness, I am blind and ignorant. Please forgive me."

"Master Qi, why are you going to the palace so late at night?"

"Your Highness, nothing happened." Qi Bin frantically thought of an excuse in his mind and explained, "The prince is not feeling well today. Please go over and calculate when he will recover."

"Oh?" Murong Yan snorted and laughed, "I didn't know that Lord Qi changed his career to become a doctor? Not only can he tell fortunes, but he can also help the prince treat his illness? How about you take a look at it for me?"

"I dare not! I am grateful for your kindness, Your Majesty. I am only helping you to relieve your worries."

"Do you think I will believe you?" Murong Yan threatened, "I advise Lord Qi that a man who knows the current situation is a hero. With Lord Qi's position in the court, if he can be loyal to the Great Zhou Dynasty, he will surely live out his days in peace."
