Chapter 23 You are playing very fancy!

Seeing Li An's strange behavior, Li Chengqian asked, "Is there anything wrong?"

Li An waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no."

After sorting it out, Li An thought: I don't know if I can handle telling the answer behind this question. It seems that I have to answer it in a more obscure way. He said:
"Your Highness, this is a mental illness that cannot be solved by divination."

Li Chengqian's face was full of displeasure, with a hint of suspicion: "Just calculate how my thoughts are related to my heart disease? Just answer my question just now!"

Li An nodded helplessly. He said, "Your Highness, you and the person you are thinking about have finally come to an end."

"How does it end?"

"A thousand ounces of gold and silver."

Ahem, hearing this, it was the prince's turn to choke on his tea. He kept saying, "I will definitely pay you the divination fee later. Sir, you don't have to do this."

"In that case, I will reply to your Highness's words. You and the person you are thinking of will not be together in the end."

This world is not like the ancient Blue Star, where etiquette is very important. Even if you become the emperor and want to be with your aunt... that is not allowed, as it goes against ethical principles.

Li Chengqian was not satisfied with Li An's reply, and asked immediately: "Do you know who the other party is?"

"I won't tell you who she is, just tell you where she is."

"Where is she then?"

"It's in the palace!" Li An's words were earth-shattering.

Li Chengqian had originally suspected that Li An was wasting his reputation, but after hearing this, how could he not know that he had already known about this? People in the palace! Who else could there be in the palace? Apart from those palace maids, they could be either members of the royal family or the concubines of Emperor Qing!

He was shocked at the moment! Thinking of this, Li Chengqian put on a false smile and said, "Sir, you are joking."

Li An also smiled without saying anything, waiting for the prince to digest it slowly.

After a while, Li Chengqian said quietly, "It was just a joke, but I will also give you some money. Now tell me the real purpose of your visit."

"Oh?" Li An didn't care whether it was a joke or not, as long as the money he got was not small.

"I want to ask you to read my face and see how my health is." He had something to ask for, and before he knew it, Li Chengqian had even changed the way he addressed himself from "Gu" to "I".

Hearing Li Chengqian's second question, Li An frowned slightly, then began to calculate with his left hand, and kept recalling the prince's life in his mind. After a moment, he had the answer in his mind.

After putting his hand down, he looked carefully at the prince's expression and found it interesting himself.

"Your Highness, I'm not saying anything, but if you are sick, go see a doctor. Why waste your time here?"

Li Chengqian looked at Li An, trying to see something from his face: "What's wrong?"

"Vegetarian disease." Li An said firmly, you, the prince, are really playing wildly!

At this moment, Li Chengqian clenched his hands tightly. The secret of being a prince of a country was revealed by the person in front of him. His self-esteem reminded him to kill this person. However, his reason still suppressed his killing intention.

Li An continued, "Your Highness, don't worry. I won't tell anyone. It's better for Your Highness to see a doctor as soon as possible."

But Li Chengqian grasped the key point: "What if someone pays for divination to inquire about this matter?"

"this····"

"You will tell me!"

“...you have to pay more!”

Li Chengqian sighed, but he thought that no one was so bored as to spend a lot of money to inquire about this matter, so he felt relieved.

"You are right, how can we cure it?"

Li An calculated the time and said, "In two years, someone will be able to cure your Highness' disease." Li Chengqian said anxiously, "What if I want to be cured now?"

"This question is also worth a thousand taels of gold."

"Say it!"

Li An nodded, and seeing that the deal was done, he replied: "Just find one person, the head of the Third Division of the Overwatch Council, Fei Jie!"

Li Chengqian thought to himself that it was not easy. He had wanted to cure his stubborn disease secretly. Now, after listening to Li An's answer, he thought that only Fei Jie, a master of poison, could cure him. But if he wanted to keep it secret, it would be difficult.

You should know that a master of poison is usually also a doctor who uses medicine. Of course, it does not mean that the higher the doctor's medical skills, the better the poison will be. But the more skilled the poison is, the more likely he is to be a medical expert.

As Li An said, Fei Jie is the person in charge of the third department of the Supervisory Council, and he must be busy with official business, so he probably doesn't have much time to see me. Unless I ask him privately, he can ignore me because they are from the Supervisory Council. And the royal family members are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Supervisory Council.

Right now, Fei Jie has left Kyoto on important matters.

It seems that I can only find another opportunity later to ask Fei Jie for medicine! Li Chengqian thought secretly.

Li An looked at Li Chengqian and saw that he had figured it out, so he smiled and said, "Relax, Your Highness, there is no need to be so nervous. Fei Jie will be back soon. Counting the days, he will be back in Beijing in less than a month."

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "Thank you for clearing up my doubts, sir. Now that I know when Master Fei Jie will return, I am not so panicked. I just have two questions for you, sir."

"Why thank me? I was paid to answer questions. What questions does Your Highness have?"

"Sir, are you a person who is born with knowledge? At such a young age, you actually have such ability, or is this divination really as magical as the rumors say?"

"I am not someone who is born with knowledge. I guess this is just how divination works."

Yes, you guessed it right, I am "born with knowledge", not only do I know that you have syphilis, I also know when you will be finished!

"Then may I know what my second brother is asking you, sir?" Li Chengqian asked.

Ang Lee just put on a faint professional smile, which looked very fake!
Is this what you mean by asking for money? When I take full control of the inner treasury, I will definitely come and ask for a free answer! But it was not possible at the moment. Thinking about my second brother, he would only ask those questions, so there was no need to ask carefully. It didn't matter to me whether Li An answered or not.

Thinking of this, and confirming the ability of the person in front of him, Li Chengqian finally asked the third question.

"I wonder... can I succeed to the throne in the end?"

Here it comes, the fortune telling bonus is super doubled!
"This hexagram is worth ten thousand taels of gold!" Li An then opened his mouth loudly.

"So expensive!?" Li Chengqian exclaimed.

A question: Ten thousand taels of gold, who can make so much money? Although he is the crown prince of a country, the wealth in his hands may not be comparable to those ministers in the court. After all, although his aunt is his own person, the silver money she gives him every month is also limited.

And ten thousand taels of gold is equivalent to one hundred thousand taels of silver!

But this question is too crucial, is it worth ten thousand taels of gold?

value!
Li Chengqian gritted his teeth. Although he didn't have to tighten his belt this month, he still had to take out his own small treasury. After making up his mind, he no longer hesitated and said, "I agree! Please go ahead, sir!"

Li An nodded and replied solemnly: "The answer is... No! You can't!"

How could this be? Li Chengqian felt uncomfortable and his mood slowly sank to the bottom. If he could not inherit the throne, then Li Chengze must have won in the end. If this was the result, what would be his fate?

I felt regretful in my heart. If I had known this would happen, I would not have come to Li Ang for fortune-telling!

Li Chengze suddenly raised his head, his eyes became sharp, and said to Li An in a deep voice: "Is there any way to remedy this? Please teach me, sir!"

Just now, between questions and answers, the atmosphere gradually became better.

But now the prince is really getting ahead of himself. Today is the first time we meet, and you want to play this trick on me, right? There is a saying called "simply talking to someone who is not very acquainted with you". Do you understand? As a prince, he is so innocent, and I don't know if he is pretending to be so.

Li An slowly changed from indifferent to indifferent, and said: "These things have nothing to do with me!"

Ang Lee’s rule is to just give the answer and ignore everything else!
