Chapter 639 - 318 Unexpected Changes_1
The Little Monk said, "My master has been observing the night sky recently. He said that within the next three months, there may be a change in the Imperial Court. One false move, and it could lead to chaos throughout the land." His eyes reddened a bit as he continued, "Although my master did not specify what the change would be, I suspect it may have something to do with my grandfather. He was so anxious to have me return to the Capital City; there must be a reason. But now I can only fail him..."
Qian Yixiu was puzzled. If there was a major incident in the Imperial Court, shouldn’t Liang Jinzhao, a high-ranking military officer, be staying in the Capital City? What was he doing here?
Upon further reflection, she remembered the Emperor mentioning his poor health and asking the Little Monk to enter the Capital City to become the Imperial Great-grandson. The Old Monk had also said that there would be a major event in the Imperial Court within the next three months, which would be from now until February of next year. One misstep, and the world could descend into chaos.
Could it be that the Emperor would pass away during this period?
If the Emperor directly passed the throne to Prince Ning, the transition could be smooth. But what if, in a lapse of judgment, he passed it to someone else? The Little Monk did not want to be Emperor, but others were certainly eager for the position.
If another Prince were chosen, Prince Ning would definitely rebel.
Qian Yixiu prayed in her heart that the Emperor wouldn’t lapse in judgment; even with a mixed bloodline, he was still his son.
She also found Father Jiang’s actions suspicious. Although he spent most of his time romancing his little mother, he would occasionally have secretive talks with people who sought him out, and he had been absent these days. He wouldn’t be helping Prince Ning, would he?
If the Capital City was in turmoil, it would be better to stay in Guiyuan. At least, the flames of war wouldn’t reach here.
