Unexpectedly, even the Director, who is a Master of Divination, couldn't predict it?
Is it because Chen Mo's destiny is unique, or is someone deliberately obscuring the heavenly secrets?
With this in mind, she felt increasingly uneasy and asked, "The Sky Scale Guard should have set out by now, right?"
"Judging by the time, they should have. Let me take a look..." Qi Chengze waved his hand, gathering clouds and mist to form a bright mirror reflecting the city's scenes.
The image kept changing, eventually freezing in the sky above the southern city.
"Found it."
Qi Chengze pinched his fingers together, closing the distance.
Upon seeing the scene before him, his expression momentarily stiffened.
Near the South City Gate, Chen Mo was passionately kissing a Daoist Nun in white, both completely engrossed, ignoring the eyes of onlookers.
"Isn't that the girl from the Ling Family?"
"Usually seems quite aloof, but in front of this boy, she seems like a different person..."
The Empress watched this scene expressionlessly, only withdrawing her gaze after Chen Mo boarded the Flying Boat and left. She lightly remarked, "Chen Qianhu's luck with women isn't bad."
"Indeed," Qi Chengze mused as he stroked his beard. "Yesterday, the Princess even asked me to calculate his romances. There were at least a dozen emotional threads, and she wanted to see who the future Lady Chen might be..."
The Empress's eyelid twitched. "Did you figure that out?"
"I didn't," Qi Chengze shook his head. "But I did see some clues. The other party's identity is certainly not simple."
The Empress fell silent for a moment, no longer questioning further. She stood up and said, "Two matters: First, with the city frequently in turmoil, many things are in need of restoration. Concerning the Princess's marriage, there's no need to rush. Make sure to choose an auspicious day."
"Second, the Gu God Sect is a menace to the people and poses a great threat. This time, we must eradicate them completely. I order you to perform divination every three days, and regardless of the result, report it in writing."
"I obey," Qi Chengze replied, bowing his head.
"Make ready to return to the palace."
"Farewell, Your Highness."
Qi Chengze escorted the Empress all the way out of the Observatory, watching the departing royal palanquin with a frown, his gaze full of confusion.
Did Her Highness really come to the Observatory just for this?
Clearly, a proclamation could suffice, or she could summon him to the palace. Why the special visit?
"Something feels a bit off..."
The royal palanquin flew steadily toward the Imperial Palace. Inside, the Empress leaned against the Phoenix Throne, gently massaging her brow with her slender fingers.
Learning the result of the divination only deepened her worries, but she couldn't exactly summon Chen Mo back now...
Knock, knock—
After contemplating for a moment, she raised her hand and knocked on the window frame.
Sun Senior Palace Lady's voice came from outside, "What are your orders, Your Highness?"
The Empress said, "Have Zhong Lihe prepare to set off for the Southern Border immediately. Secretly cooperate with Chen Mo. If there is no danger, do not reveal his identity. Report any situation promptly."
"Yes, I will arrange it right away," replied Sun Senior Palace Lady.
"And..."
