The fake prince was exposed at the beginning, and I took office as emperor on the spot

Chapter 31: The Imperial Master's Tiger Skin (Two in One)

Gu Fangchen coughed twice:

"I don't know the whereabouts of 'Six Star Lords' either."

"but!"

Xu Fu's eyes had just turned cold, but they froze again when he heard the words. He felt as if he had been fooled by this man.

She thought about it, silently raised her hand and made a gesture, looking at Gu Fangchen quietly.

It looks like if you say one wrong word again, you will be destroyed immediately.

Gu Fangchen: “…”

Okay, I won’t be naughty anymore.

First, no one understands my humor, and second, someone really wants to kill me.

Gu Fangchen acted as if nothing had happened and continued with a serious face:
"What I mean is that the whereabouts of the 'Six Star Lords' cannot be directly determined."

"I suppose you've tried to deduce his location, but the results have been confusing. Sometimes you've targeted a young man, sometimes an old man, and sometimes even a baby."

"That's because he cut his karmic line into six sections and threw them into the cycle of reincarnation."

Xu Fu frowned:

"But this means that his memories will also be lost when the causal line is cut. Once lost in reincarnation, he will forever be missing a part of the cause and effect."

As far as she knew, the existence of the "Six Star Gods" was far older than the birth of the Demon Cult.

This also means that at least one part of his life has nothing to do with the Demon Cult. If he does not remember his purpose, he may become another independent person in reincarnation, let alone cover up the whereabouts of the Demon Cult members.

Furthermore, the most taboo thing for those who practice the art of cause and effect is the lack of their own cause and effect.

Because if you want to use heaven and earth as your destiny chart, you must use yourself as the central fulcrum and anchor the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.

If the fulcrum is not stable, the result obtained cannot be true.

Gu Fangchen nodded:
"That's true, but what if... he could use six causal lines, following the trajectory of reincarnation over a long enough time and a wide enough distance, to weave a destiny chart of his own?"

When Xu Fu heard this, his pupils suddenly constricted.

What Gu Fangchen said did not exceed her understanding.

And precisely because of this, she was even more shocked.

Simply put, a normal person uses himself as the origin of the coordinate system to observe and measure everything between heaven and earth.

Human beings are just a tiny dot in this world.

But according to Gu Fangchen, the "Six Star Gods" are preparing to directly incarnate into the coordinate system, or even... into this world!
The "Six Star Gods" use their own six causal lines, with time as the longitude and distance as the latitude, to span the sky and the earth, and eventually transform into the invisible master of heaven and earth. All causes and effects cannot escape his control.

This is the fortune-telling technique of the "Six Star Gods"!

He does not need the causes and effects he has cut off to remain awake in the cycle of reincarnation. It is enough for them to remain in the cycle of reincarnation.

His horoscope has been woven by time.

Xu Fu also realized the crux of the matter, his eyes fixed:
"Therefore, if we want to break his destiny technique, we must first find out who his six causal lines are attached to."

Gu Fangchen nodded:
"I suppose this isn't difficult for you."

In the game, this task is definitely the trolley problem that messes with people's mentality.

"Six Star Lords" is the leader of the Demon Cult, but the lines of cause and effect he separated have long since become independent people in the cycle of reincarnation.

Before you complete the task of "Six Star Gods", you will be given several daily tasks related to these people.

You thought they were just ordinary NPCs living in Wei, and you might even have improved their favorability and established a relationship with them.

But later on, they asked you to kill them with your own hands.

Moreover, every time it is reopened, the identities of these people are all random, making it difficult to guard against.

If you want to complete the task, you have to be ruthless or try to reduce the number of unfamiliar tasks you take on from the beginning.

But if you want to upgrade quickly, you can't avoid completing tasks to upgrade.

In this regard, Gu Fangchen’s decision was to leave it as is.

Let the national master make up for the lack of experience.

Xu Fu had his doubts during all these years of deduction, but now, combined with Gu Fangchen's statement, he immediately knew that what he said was true.

But this brings up another problem...

Xu Fu said in a deep voice:
"Since the causal line of the Six Star Lords has been reincarnating in this world for so long, then his longitude and latitude horoscope... should have basically taken shape."

"In recent years, I've been able to sense that my deductions have often been disrupted. I originally thought it was due to unusual celestial phenomena, but now I think it must be the 'Six Star Lords' misleading me."

"In other words, he has been able to sense my deduction."

Gu Fangchen had anticipated this and raised his eyebrows:

"Is the Imperial Master afraid that the Six Star Lords will learn of your actions in advance and flee?"

He said carelessly:
"It's not that difficult actually. Just make a feint to the east and attack in the west."

Of course...that's not possible.

If the "Six Star Gods" could be deceived by such a simple method, they would not be able to be the Lord of Karma.

Gu Fangchen actually had a way to block the reverse deduction of the "Six Star Gods"'s fortune-telling technique, but he deliberately didn't say it, just to test the guess he had in his mind.

Xu Fu pursed his lips, lowered his eyes and said stiffly:
"No, secrecy is key to success, and leaks can lead to failure. The more people know about this, the greater the chance that the Six Star Lords will find out."

She raised her head and said solemnly:

"You come."

Gu Fangchen said in surprise:
"No one else can do that? I don't even have the cultivation base. Besides, doesn't the Imperial Master dislike me wearing your tiger skin?"

He teased, "Could it be... that it has to be me?"

Xu Fu was silent for a while and said:

"it has to be you."

Even she couldn't calculate Gu Fangchen's future, and neither could the 'Six Star Lords'.

The safest option is for Gu Fangchen to take action.

Since the other party loves beauty, then I can take advantage of this...

As soon as these words were spoken, Gu Fangchen immediately understood.

He sighed, patted his chest righteously and said:
"Well, since the Imperial Master is so kind to me, I naturally feel obligated to serve him."

"It's just... I can't come from an unknown background."

Gu Fangchen looked at Xu Fu with a smile:
"Master Imperial Master, I have an unwelcome request..."

Want another reward? You're truly profit-driven.

However, as long as he can do his job well, it is reasonable to give him some benefits.

Xu Fu convinced himself in his heart, bit his lip, and said lightly:

"Go ahead."

Gu Fangchen raised a finger and said:
"I heard that in the Canliao Pillar, there are three hundred volumes of scriptures copied by the National Master himself."

"I have long coveted the Imperial Master's authentic works. I don't ask for much... just one scroll. To gaze upon it daily would ease my longing."

He also admired himself, and his nonsense became more and more fluent.

Xu Fu was stunned when he heard this, because he felt a little annoyed because of the mental preparation he had just made.

The person is right in front of you, and you want scriptures to relieve your lovesickness?
Gu Fangchen thought she was unhappy and said:
"Although I don't have much wisdom, I will definitely study the scriptures written by the National Master carefully every day. Perhaps the National Master will enlighten me and open my stupid brain."

Handwritten?

Xu Fu snorted in his heart, it turned out that she was the only one who could do it.

He actually dared to despise being possessed at this moment and was so greedy!
Seeing that she remained silent, Gu Fangchen felt uneasy.

Xu Fu always prioritizes world peace when doing things, but those scriptures are the true teachings of the Way of Destiny. His favorability is obviously not high now, so I don’t know if he can get them.

If that doesn't work, Gu Youren seems to have two notebooks, so that's not a problem.

After waiting for a long time, Gu Fangchen finally heard a soft and thin voice, which said timidly and blankly:
"Your Highness, what's wrong? I'm sorry for waking you up!"

When he looked up, he saw Xuexiang almost crying and about to kneel down in front of him.

just leave?
A woman's heart is like a needle in the sea...

Whether you will give it to me or not, just tell me! Gu Fangchen looked up at the sky and sighed, then reached out to support her:

"It's okay, mom asked you to come."

The little maid nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Gu Fangchen thought for a moment and said:

"You will stay here and serve me from now on. Tell others that you are my concubine."

Xuexiang opened her eyes wide, first happy, then a little confused.

Why tell it to outsiders?
Gu Fangchen put his hand on her shoulder and said seriously:
"Also, you don't have to dress like this next time. I still like you the way you are."

Xuexiang said "oh".

I felt even more puzzled, but didn't His Royal Highness think that she would look better dressed as a nun?
But nobles are always fickle and do whatever they want.

Xuexiang blushed and saluted Gu Fangchen:
"Yes, Your Highness."

Gu Fangchen smiled, opened the door and went out, then he heard a servant running in hurriedly outside.

"Your Highness, the Imperial Master has sent a scroll of scriptures."

……

When Gu Fangchen arrived at the door, he saw the familiar Taoist boy again.

He waved and greeted naturally.

The Taoist boy looked him up and down, and this time he was truly surprised.

He handed the scriptures in the box to Gu Fangchen and said solemnly:

"This was copied by the Imperial Master himself. Please preserve it carefully."

amount……

Gu Fangchen felt extremely guilty when he thought about what he was going to do, with a warm smile on his face:

"sure."

Ning Caiyong, who followed out, was stunned and felt a little strange.

What happened to the Imperial Master...

Giving gold and scriptures as gifts?
She knew exactly what kind of person her own child was. No, the entire Huangtian City should know exactly what kind of person Gu Fangchen was.

Why does the national teacher favor it so much?

The Taoist boy took out another token.

Gu Fangchen was stunned. He reached out to take it and saw the word "Xu" written on it.

The Taoist boy bowed and said:
"This is an order from the Imperial Master's Mansion. With this order, you can enter and leave the Imperial Master's Mansion freely and order the Imperial Master's Mansion to prepare soldiers."

Ning Caiyong covered his mouth and said in shock:

"Is this also what the Imperial Master meant?"

The Taoist boy nodded:
"The Imperial Master means that she is not at the Imperial Master's residence all year round and needs someone to help take care of it."

"She thinks His Royal Highness is a good person."

Gu Fangchen: “…”

He twitched the corners of his mouth.

No, he knew that Xu Fu was giving him a "tiger skin".

But we hardly interact with people, and the Imperial Master, with his negative emotional intelligence, obviously doesn't understand how his words could cause such outrageous misunderstandings...

Ning Caiyong's pupils trembled next to him, and his originally depressed mood was alleviated a lot.

What does this mean, Imperial Master?!

Gu Fangchen gritted his teeth and sent the Taoist boy away. Turning around, he found Ning Caiyong looking at him thoughtfully.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Ning Caiyong shook his head and said quietly:
"Maybe mother is overthinking..."

She reached out and touched Gu Fangchen's cheek:

"Chen'er, no matter what the final outcome of this matter is, I have decided to return to Jiange to have some peace and quiet for a while. Will you accompany me?"

Gu Fangchen was stunned, then nodded immediately:

"Of course, wherever mom goes, I go."

He thought to himself that Jiange was a good place, the best sword in the whole game was there.

Of course, the premise is, will his awkward identity make that sister-obsessed swordsman draw his sword immediately...

……

"My Lord, you don't have to worry about this."

A female attendant from the palace who was close to Gu Youren consoled him:

"Even if the Crown Prince has some opportunities, it is an indisputable fact that he has a low character. The position of Crown Prince must definitely be returned to Master Gu."

It would have been fine if she didn't say anything, but as soon as she mentioned "Master Gu", Gu Youren felt indescribable.

Once provoked by that evil seed, he made a mistake.

Now, she seemed unable to condemn Gu Fangchen with a clear conscience.

Gu Youren sighed, frowned and said softly:
"Senior Ding has a peculiar temperament, and Princess Prajna's moods are unpredictable. It's not surprising that these two would do something out of the ordinary."

"But what I'm curious about is why even Master..."

The female worshipper smiled and said sarcastically:
"Our Imperial Master is such a noble man, how could he give someone something as vulgar as gold?"

"I think this is clearly irony."

Gu Youren was stunned when he heard this, then his brows relaxed.

Yes, she over-speculated about her master's intentions.

Come to think of it, although Master has a somewhat eccentric personality, it is not necessarily the case that what he does has to have a deep meaning.

It is natural that Master could not be unaware of such a secret happening in the palace.

Maybe, he just heard about this and used it to express his mockery of Gu Fangchen, this lowly playboy.

That’s right, even Master has expressed such a clear attitude, probably because he is speaking up for Yuan Dao about this matter.

Gu Youren shook his head, his thoughts suddenly became clear, and he sighed with amusement.

It turned out that she was thinking too much.

Just wait for Master Juehui to come and expose Gu Fangchen's conspiracy, and everything will naturally return to normal.

She stood up, and the restlessness in her heart for the past few days finally calmed down.

After thinking for a while, she asked the female worshiper to play the piano. She took out Xu Fu's letter, burned incense calmly, and read it calmly, trying to understand the profound thoughts of Master.

The more I think about it, the more I feel that Xu Fu is extraordinary and otherworldly, and does not follow the crowd.

"Really? How could I have thought that Master gave Gu Fangchen ten thousand taels of gold just because he liked him? I'm really out of my mind."

Gu Youren held his forehead and raised the corners of his mouth.

But he heard a loud noise outside, and immediately frowned and said in a low voice:

"What's all the noise?"

The noise outside stopped, and then someone reported:

"My lord, there are more people from the Imperial Master outside."

Gu Youren was delighted:
"But Master is looking for me?"

With Master's abilities, he must have discovered her misunderstanding and sought help from her to resolve her emotional issues.

The person outside paused and said with difficulty:
"No... I'm here to see the prince again. This time I brought a scroll of scriptures handwritten by the Imperial Master, and also, an order from the Imperial Master's Mansion."

Gu Youren's happy expression suddenly froze, and the notepad in his hand fell to the ground with a plop.

P.S. It was so uncomfortable. I woke up this morning with chest tightness and shortness of breath, severe pain in the trachea, and wheezing sounds when I breathed. I felt uncomfortable all day. It has been like this from time to time since I had sex. It’s so painful.

I'm working hard on coding, please give me votes (╥╯^╰╥)
