Chapter 418 Tell the Truth
Gu Changyuan looked at him with a strange expression: "Fatong, do you know that there is a Taoist sacrificial ritual that can bring the dead back to life?"
Fatong shuddered and immediately shook his head: "I have never heard of it, but even if it is true, it is a magic that goes against the laws of nature and human relations, and will definitely backfire on you. Your Highness must not believe it."
Gu Changyuan smiled and said: "Of course I don't believe it, I just mentioned it casually."
Fatong looked at him intently for a moment and thought to himself, His Highness's parents are still here, and no important people around him have died, so it is unlikely that anyone would want to be resurrected.
Thinking of this, Fatong felt slightly relieved and said: "Perhaps as the prince said, you have a rare disease. Don't worry, prince, I will read the medical books carefully after I go back and I will definitely find out the cause of the disease."
Gu Changyuan thought for a moment and said, "If you really want to help me, you might as well ask your master about what I just said."
"Who will your Highness resurrect?"
"Myself." Gu Changyuan half-joked.
"Your Majesty, please don't joke." Fatong looked serious, "It's about your Majesty's life, so you must tell the truth."
Gu Changyuan smiled and said: "If I said that I had used this method in my previous life, but the current situation has backfired, would you believe it?"
Fatong took a breath: "Do you really mean what you said?"
"Just take it seriously."
"This...I need to think about it."
Fatong looked at him with a horrified expression, stood there for a long time, and said slowly, "I am a monk, and I know that the cycle of heaven is real. I also believe that what the prince said is true. But I still want to ask,
Where did the prince in the previous life get this method that is harmful to yin, virtue, yang and longevity?"
Gu Changyuan smiled and said: "Fatong, this kind of thing is irrelevant, you don't have to break the casserole and ask the truth."
Fatong seemed to have thought of something and couldn't help but change his expression: "Could it be that...that person is me?"
Gu Changyuan's expression told him that he had guessed correctly.
Fatong was horrified: "How could I do such a thing?"
"Don't blame yourself, I forced you to say it." Gu Changyuan comforted him, "And I have never regretted it, but I am very grateful to you."
"Your Majesty, please tell me carefully!"
"That's enough for you to know. I won't tell you any more details."
Gu Changyuan will never let anyone know that Ying Ning and Ci'er are reborn.
Ying Ning and Ci'er knew for sure, but they probably didn't know yet that he already knew the entire truth of the matter.
Fatong stood there for a long time, and finally stood up and said: "Although I don't know why I was crazy in my previous life to provide the prince with such evil magic that is harmful to his moral character, but I will definitely find a way to solve it! I will go back to find the master right now.
, ask his old man for advice!"
Gu Changyuan said: "Fatong, we have known each other for more than ten years, and I have absolute trust in you. But... there are some things you should not tell the old master."
Fatong gave a rare smile and said, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I know what should be said and what should not be said."
He clasped his hands together, bowed, turned and left.
…
Half a month later, the palace held a ceremony to enthrone the crown prince.
The nine-year-old eleventh prince Gu Qizhen officially became the crown prince of Daxuan.
King Gu Ziyang of Zhao claimed to be ill and was absent from the ceremony, and everyone knew the reason.
On the emperor's birthday, he lost his mind due to jealousy and resentment. He spoke ill words and pushed the concubine Shuhuang and the eleventh prince, and was severely scolded by the emperor.
