Chapter 75 Is Jiang Chuchu's Destiny Precious?
Because of Jiang Qingyue's illness, the Empress specially sent her personal maid to inquire about her condition and also brought her many tonics.
Even Qin Jinghao, whom we haven't seen for a long time, made a rare appearance to come and greet us.
However, when Jiang Qingyue smelled that familiar fragrance on him, she knew that he had gone to see Jiang Chuchu again.
Jiang Qingyue found his concern and concern incredibly ironic.
"Qingyue, actually, there's something else I wanted to tell you today." Qin Jinghao hesitated, but Jiang Qingyue knew it must be related to Jiang Chuchu.
Sure enough, Qin Jinghao continued, "You see, you're all alone in the palace, which is quite lonely, and you're also sick. I was thinking, why don't you let your sister come in and keep you company? That way, you two will have some company."
Jiang Qingyue never expected that Qin Jinghao would be so shameless as to bring this up.
"Your Highness, have you forgotten that things didn't go well between Jiang Chuchu and me? Are you sure you let her in to keep me company, and not to upset me?" Jiang Qingyue didn't know how Qin Jinghao could say such a thing. Was he really not afraid of being impeached by the censors?
Qin Jinghao's face stiffened. "What you're saying is perfect. Wouldn't it be a wonderful thing if you sisters could reconcile and be friends again?"
"Your Highness, we've never been on good terms, so how can we talk about making up?" Jiang Qingyue said neither humbly nor arrogantly. She was willing to concede, but it was absolutely impossible before she got what she wanted.
Qin Jinghao, having been repeatedly humiliated by Jiang Qingyue, looked even more displeased. "Jiang Qingyue, I am informing you, not discussing this with you. Father and Mother have also agreed to this matter."
Jiang Qingyue chuckled lightly, "Yes, Your Highness can bring her in directly, why bother informing me? Your Highness, I know my place and where Your Highness's heart lies. However, my only request is that Jiang Chuchu and I not be placed together."
Jiang Qingyue's tactic of retreating in order to advance only increased Qin Jinghao's guilt towards her.
He had assumed Jiang Qingyue would cause a huge scene, but he hadn't expected...
He sighed, "This matter was truly not my arrangement. It was Miss Chu... Jiang Er who was taken as a disciple by the Imperial Advisor. The Imperial Advisor said that she has a noble destiny and can change her fate."
"You're new here and don't know, but the palace is going through a turbulent time. Bringing her in is only for the sake of peace and tranquility within the palace. Therefore, I hope you can understand."
Jiang Qingyue raised an eyebrow. She never expected that things would come full circle and return to where they started.
In her previous life, it was also the imperial advisor who predicted that Jiang Chuchu's destiny was auspicious, which earned her the attention of the emperor and empress and allowed her to gain a foothold in the palace.
Although many things have changed since the previous life, this matter remains the same. It seems there are quite a few people from Jiang'an in the palace!
As for whether this so-called noble destiny is true or false, that remains to be seen.
"Since Your Highness has said so, I have nothing more to say." Jiang Qingyue's tone was much colder, and she unconsciously distanced herself from Qin Jinghao, striking the perfect balance.
"Don't worry, I guarantee I won't put her with you." Seeing that Jiang Qingyue had already taken a step back, Qin Jinghao didn't insist any further and also took a step back.
Watching Qin Jinghao leave after receiving a satisfactory answer, Jiang Qingyue composed herself and said, "You can come out now."
As soon as she finished speaking, a figure walked out of the cubicle behind her, and it was none other than Xu Yunyun.
"You've already heard it. That Jiang Chuchu is the person His Highness the Crown Prince is fond of. Her future status won't be low. It's not too late for you to change your bargaining chips now."
Jiang Qingyue said to Xu Yunyun.
It's normal for people to strive for better things, and she understands that. So, rather than having an uncertain factor around, it's better to resolve that uncertainty early on.
However, to Jiang Qingyue's surprise, Xu Yunyun looked disdainful and said, "So what? I have heard about your grudges even though I am in the deep palace. How can a fake heiress who is not presentable compare to you, a real phoenix?"
I chose you because I don't think you're the kind of person who goes back on their word. Besides, you promised me you'd help Consort Jing regain favor; that's a debt I owe them. Can you repay it? Can Jiang Chuchu do that? She probably doesn't have the brains for it.”
Hearing Xu Yunyun's merciless sarcasm, Jiang Qingyue couldn't help but laugh out loud.
This Xu Yunyun is truly interesting.
Regardless of her faction, it's no wonder that this female doctor is isolated because of her unconventional personality.
"Alright, when the time is right, follow my instructions and you will get what you want. Now, I want to go and meet this Grand Preceptor."
In both her past and present lives, her fate seems to be controlled by this imperial advisor. If it weren't for his prophecy, how could Jiang Chuchu have ended up in such a state?
Therefore, she was very curious about who this imperial advisor was.
“The Imperial Advisor goes to the Star Moon Pavilion to observe the stars every night. You just need to wait on the path he always takes, and you will meet him.” Xu Yunyun had been in the palace for many years, so she knew these things very well.
Jiang Qingyue nodded. "Okay, thank you for letting me know."
As night fell, the effects of the medicine on Jiang Qingyue subsided considerably, and she felt much more comfortable. Therefore, she waited early on the road that the Imperial Preceptor was bound to take.
And the Imperial Preceptor? He was over sixty years old, with gray hair, but he exuded an otherworldly and refined air, as if he were a celestial being banished from heaven.
When he saw a figure in the pavilion, he guessed that it was probably some noble lady in the palace who wanted him to help see if they could gain favor and have a chance to turn their lives around.
When he first gained fame, many concubines used this tactic. However, after His Majesty found out and reprimanded them, it became much less common. Even if some did, they rarely waited here so openly.
The Imperial Advisor shook his head and prepared to ignore him and leave.
He had only taken a few steps when he was called back, "Imperial Preceptor, please wait."
The moment he saw who it was, he realized it was a girl.
He glanced at Jiang Qingyue's eyes and brows without realizing it, and then couldn't help but frown.
"Imperial Preceptor, I apologize for disturbing you so late at night, but I have a question I would like to ask you." Jiang Qingyue stated her purpose directly.
"Excuse me, I don't tell fortunes." The Imperial Advisor still thought Jiang Qingyue had come to him for a fortune telling.
"No, Imperial Preceptor. I only have a question that I would like to ask you to answer. I do not wish to have my fortune told."
Jiang Qingyue's words made the Imperial Advisor stop in his tracks. He couldn't help but ask with curiosity, "Oh? What is your question?"
"Does the Imperial Advisor really believe that a person's fate can affect the rise and fall of the court and even the world?" Jiang Qingyue asked bluntly, getting straight to the point.
