Seeking Good Fortune and Avoiding Misfortune: Starting from the Blind Prince

Prince Yong!

Among the Great Yu imperial family, there are not many who believe in Buddhism and follow the path of Buddhist cultivation; they are very rare.

After all, how many royal descendants, born with a silver spoon, indulging in pleasure and extravagance, are willing to abide by Buddhist precepts and become ascetics?

Of course, there are exceptions.

The most famous is Prince Yong!

Prince Yong is Emperor Qian Yuan's younger brother and also participated in the previous struggle for the throne.

After failing to seize the throne, he had a profound realization, entered Buddhism, and became a companion to the ancient Buddha with the blue lamp.

Of course, whether it was a genuine profound realization or a forced one, no one knows.

Emperor Qian Yuan had three brothers from the same mother, two younger brothers being Prince Ning and Prince Yong.

Being brothers from the same mother, the fates of Prince Ning and Prince Yong are vastly different.

Of course, compared to other princes who fought for the throne, Prince Yong is considered fortunate.

Because they came from the same mother, he at least had a dignified ending.

Imperial family, Buddhist cultivation.

These two clues point directly to Prince Yong.

Moreover, the specific information of the Earth Mother Tree Realm's spatial node, although confidential,

is not difficult for Prince Yong to know if he really puts his heart into it, given his status.

It can be said that Prince Yong not only has the motive but also the ability!

Zhou Hao Chen couldn't help but wonder if the masked man that day was Prince Yong?

Why would Prince Yong create the Xuanyuan Blood?

Because he was unwilling after failing to seize the throne?

Thinking of the remnants of Prince Zhao, Prince Zhao has been dead for more than ten years, yet they still want to stir up trouble.

Zhou Hao Chen estimated that Prince Yong, who is in Zhenjue Temple, probably also has ambitions.

It's just...

Prince Yong is, after all, still a Prince.

In terms of status, he is even a notch higher than this prince who has not yet been conferred the title of Prince.

Moreover, Prince Yong is Emperor Qian Yuan's younger brother, Zhou Hao Chen's uncle.

No one knows what Emperor Qian Yuan thinks of his younger brother, Prince Yong.

In short, Prince Yong is not easy to investigate!

He is also a hot potato!

Zhou Hao Chen sighed quietly.

Should he continue the investigation?

How should he continue the investigation?

It is a great test of his wisdom!

Li Yue, who was beside him, turned pale when she heard the name Prince Yong, her slender jade hands clenched tightly, her knuckles turning white.

"Your Highness, don't investigate!"

"What? Don't want to find out the truth about what happened that year? To give your parents justice?" Zhou Hao Chen asked with a smile.

Li Yue lowered her head, her expression somewhat dejected and disappointed.

"Of course, I want to."

"It's just that I want Your Highness to be safe and sound even more."

"Li Yue and Chun Yue finally have a place to stay, and don't want to be bought and sold again."

In just a few words, she expressed the hardships the twin sisters have experienced over the years.

With both parents dead, they barely managed to save their lives.

But at a young age, how could they protect themselves, and eventually became slaves.

Perhaps, it was not until they were selected by Zhou Hao Chen that they had a place to settle down.

"Don't worry."

"I have my own plans for this matter!"

Should he continue the investigation? Of course, he must continue the investigation.

The Xuanyuan Blood is stirring up trouble in the dark. If they really overthrow Emperor Qian Yuan's throne, then his identity will be awkward.

The son of a false emperor.

Being imprisoned until death is already the best ending.

Of course, the investigation of the Xuanyuan Blood cannot rely solely on himself.

The most anxious person is Emperor Qian Yuan. Find an opportunity to report the situation of the Xuanyuan Blood to Emperor Qian Yuan indirectly.

"Continue reading, finish reading the dossier."

"Understood, Your Highness!"

"...This half of the jade pendant was found in Xiang Tao's ribs. Hidden so secretly, this half of the jade pendant must hide a shocking secret..."

"...Xiang Tao, as the commander of the Xuanwu Army, why was he killed...?"

"...Perhaps, this half of the jade pendant is related to Xiang Tao's death..."

Zhou Hao Chen fell into silence after listening to the contents of the dossier.

Xiang Tao, why was he killed?

Was it because of the jade pendant?

Or did he know something he shouldn't have known?

The next day.

Under Madam Shen's grateful gaze, and the respectful send-off of the officials of Wanping County, Zhou Hao Chen returned to Yujing City.

After arriving in Yujing City, Zhou Hao Chen did not go to the Prince's Mansion, but went to the palace to seek an audience with Emperor Qian Yuan.

Outside the Imperial Study.

Zhou Hao Chen waited for a moment, then heard Eunuch Wei's sharp voice.

"Your Highness, His Majesty summons you."

"Your Highness, be careful of the threshold!"

"Thank you, Eunuch, for the reminder."

Zhou Hao Chen walked into the Imperial Study with a crutch.

Perhaps because he was in a good mood today, Emperor Qian Yuan directly granted Zhou Hao Chen a seat.

"Grant a seat!"

"Thank you, Father Emperor!"

After Zhou Hao Chen sat down, Emperor Qian Yuan asked.

"Chen'er, do you have any gains from investigating the case today?"

"Reporting to Father Emperor, I have already made a breakthrough in the White Lotus Sect case!"

A breakthrough!

Emperor Qian Yuan's hands, which had just picked up the teacup, stiffened slightly, the expression on his square face was calm, and his eyes were deep, making it impossible to tell whether he was happy or sad.

After a pause of one or two breaths, Emperor Qian Yuan asked.

"Tell me the details."

"Reporting to Father Emperor, the White Lotus Sect can enter the Earth Mother Tree Realm in such a high-profile manner and know the Earth Mother Tree Realm's spatial nodes so well, there must be an internal accomplice."

"I followed the clue of the internal accomplice and investigated, and indeed made a huge discovery."

Emperor Qian Yuan put down the teacup, his face became solemn, he glanced at Zhou Hao Chen, the curiosity in his eyes seemed to say, what kind of trick are you playing?

Zhou Hao Chen said in a deep voice, continuing, "According to my investigation, the organization to which the internal accomplice belongs is called Xuanyuan Blood, and they are good at Buddhist martial arts, and have a great connection with Buddhism, mostly Buddhist cultivators."

"Buddhist cultivators?!"

Emperor Qian Yuan was slightly stunned and let out a soft exclamation.

There are not many Buddhist cultivators among the court officials!

It's just that what Zhou Hao Chen said next made Emperor Qian Yuan confused.

"Besides that," Zhou Hao Chen continued, "I was studying the glorious deeds of the Great Ancestor today, and found that the Great Ancestor was also a poetry immortal, composing poems and matching verses, which I admire very much."

Great Ancestor?

Composing poetry?

And a poetry immortal?

Emperor Qian Yuan's expression was strange. If Zhou Hao Chen hadn't named the Great Ancestor, he would have thought it was some great Confucian scholar.

The Great Ancestor came from humble origins and cultivated martial arts.

He can also compose poetry?

Are you kidding me!

I have never heard that the Great Ancestor could compose poetry.

If he really had the talent of a poetry immortal, how could he not have a single poem passed down?

The suspicion on Emperor Qian Yuan's face all fell into Zhou Hao Chen's eyes.

Zhou Hao Chen said unhurriedly, continuing: "When I was studying the poems of the Great Ancestor, I couldn't help but feel excited and emotional when I read one of them."

"Oh? What poem? Even you, Chen'er, admire it so much?"

The curiosity in Emperor Qian Yuan's eyes became even stronger, as if a clear spring was about to gush out.

Emperor Qian Yuan knows very well Zhou Hao Chen's talent in poetry.

What kind of poem did the Great Ancestor write that could make his thirteenth son admire him so much?

"I recommend Xuanyuan with my blood!"

After Zhou Hao Chen said this poem, he remained silent.

The atmosphere in the Imperial Study suddenly cooled down, extremely solemn, like the June weather before a rainstorm, able to wring out water.

Everything was silent, not even the sound of breathing could be heard clearly.

Emperor Qian Yuan's face was solemn, and his eyes kept flashing with light, unable to calm down for a long time.

Zhou Hao Chen did not directly say the name Prince Yong.

But with Emperor Qian Yuan's talent and wisdom, Zhou Hao Chen believed that Emperor Qian Yuan must have guessed it.

As for what choice Emperor Qian Yuan would make, this was not something Zhou Hao Chen could predict.

After a moment of silence, Emperor Qian Yuan said in a low voice, his voice slightly hoarse.

"The thirteenth prince, you have done a good job in investigating the case. Reward you with a treasure from the Xuan Character Treasury."

"Thank you, Father Emperor!"

Emperor Qian Yuan did not say whether to continue the investigation.

Perhaps he didn't want to continue the investigation, or perhaps he wanted to continue the investigation, but he didn't plan to hand over the investigation of Xuanyuan Blood to himself.

In short, no matter what Emperor Qian Yuan thought, just the treasures from the Xuan Character Treasury were enough to make Zhou Hao Chen make a fortune.

After Zhou Hao Chen left the Imperial Study and went to the Xuan Character Treasury.

Emperor Qian Yuan's voice suddenly sounded in the Imperial Study.

"Bring the Great Ancestor's daily life notes!"

"The version revised by Emperor Taizong."
