My Lady Always Lacks Ambition-Chapter 1052 - 1022: Ready with Sunflower Seeds to Watch Someone’s Misfortune

When returning to the city, Little Ginseng was somewhat puzzled; a woman having a child is just that, why go to such lengths to use tricks and schemes to calculate the birth of some noble child?

Teng Zhao, being originally of noble birth, although introverted before his Enlightenment, was extremely intelligent. Having lived in a prominent family’s mansion, his introversion meant that others wouldn’t avoid speaking where he could hear, since he wouldn’t divulge anything to anyone. Thus, he knew some things.

Having joined the Taoist Sect and learned various mystical arts, he understood that a person’s birth dates can form a Life Chart. Some people have poor Four Pillars and Eight Characters, born with the God of Misfortune or a Heavenly Slaughter Star and Xingke Life, which makes them disliked and live a miserable existence.

But some are naturally lucky, smooth sailing in life, and if their ancestors accumulated virtue, they would enjoy ancestral favor, leading a prosperous and worry-free life, able to turn danger into safety throughout life.

Some are born with a noble destiny; if a woman is born with phoenix destiny, she is unsurpassed in nobility, worthy of ruling the world.

And a noble child, what does noble mean, if not supremely noble.

"... If that mystical art truly works, and the Life Chart’s Five Elements are complete and mutually supportive, then the resulting energy’s Qi Fortune will be endless, ensuring life’s undertakings go as desired." Teng Zhao explained, "The Spirit Gathering Array set by our master daily relies on having all Five Elements, therefore Spiritual Energy is drawn in and circulates without dispersing. Imagine how rare a noble child with such a Life Chart is, naturally conceived it rarely happens that the Five Elements are complete and mutually supportive."

The nurturing of life should follow nature’s course. Some seek predictions from Heavenly Masters or those knowledgeable in the Five Elements Eight Diagram to calculate the birth time, but even precise calculations can’t ensure the birth of a naturally noble child. While birth timing can be calculated to produce a noble Life Chart, the process itself is uncontrollable, what if complications during delivery delay the birth time?

Therefore, the probability of precisely calculating a Life Chart with complete and supportive Five Elements is one in ten thousand, unless, like Daoist Yi Yang said, evil methods are used.

But does using such evil methods truly result in such a noble child?

Even Teng Zhao, who studied Taoism, couldn’t guarantee it, for as the saying goes, ’the best plans often change.’

Qin Liuxi nodded in approval, "Zhaozhao speaks well, despite my absence these years, you have not been slack. Very good."

Teng Zhao felt a bit pleased inwardly, but maintained a composed exterior, saying, "Far less than Master."

Little Ginseng frowned and said, "What is the Princess scheming so hard to birth a noble child for? What are they planning?"

Qin Liuxi lazily leaned against the carriage wall, his voice carrying a cold undertone, "What else? Fear of peace, they are."

Prince Xinyang, being a different surname prince, in these remote lands would want to secretly stir trouble within his domain as he pleases.

Creating a noble child with unending Qi Fortune, could he be trying to seize this opportunity to raise banners and take the throne?

Qin Liuxi pondered over where the sinister scroll for bearing noble children from Prince Xinyang Mansion came from, and who might have given or instigated it. Otherwise, after so many years of laying low, why stir trouble now?

If Prince Xinyang involves himself, the waters will become muddier and more chaotic...

Qin Liuxi sat up slightly, realizing that those scheming for the throne were not just the court’s princes, but others as well.

Who are the capable people around Prince Xinyang?

Teng Zhao broke Qin Liuxi’s train of thought, "Master, regarding that matter in the Princess Manor, how to deal with this yin fetus?"

Qin Liuxi leaned back again, "Dogs bite dogs, full of fur. People in that manor are no good, let them mess around. Bearing a noble child isn’t that easy; Princess Si Yi daring such an act is seeking her own doom."

That yin fetus was made by using the blood of five children, all a result of Karma. Without a Daoist proficient in this dark art, once karmic retribution strikes, they are doomed.

In fact, she had glanced at the Princess Manor earlier, noticing the gloomy and ominous air covering the main courtyard, suggesting misfortune and chaos soon.

So, she wasn’t going to intervene, just prepared to watch with snacks in hand.

Teng Zhao understood from her words that she wouldn’t intervene and didn’t press further, quietly meditating inside the carriage.

...

Meanwhile, Princess Si Yi was fuming because the driver she sent returned reporting that Daoist Yi Yang vanished into thin air, whereabouts unknown.

Princess Si Yi was furious, realizing that scoundrel backstabbed her and ran away.

"No wonder he always looked evasive and guilty, intending to run. Bah, I thought he was skilled in an exceptional Taoism, but he acts like a sewer rat, hiding and sneaking, truly disgraceful."

Princess Si Yi cursed incessantly, ordering someone to search his former cave.

With the noble child yin fetus in Song’s stomach over two months along, she couldn’t miss the auspicious timing, but with Daoist Yi Yang abandoning ship, what could she do now?

Princess Si Yi was in desperation, and at that time, someone from Long Yan Courtyard came, saying Aunt Song was having stomach pains and needed to call an Imperial Physician.

"Useless! Others nurture their fetus without issue, why does she have so many problems!" Princess Si Yi, furious, grabbed a Luminous tea cup by her side and hurled it at the servant: "What are you waiting for, quickly take a token to invite an Imperial Physician, if anything happens to the child, I will have your heads, all useless!"

The servant quickly bowed and went off.

The more Princess Si Yi thought about it, the more furious she got, ever since the poisonous insect woman died, nothing went smoothly. Not to mention Zuo Zongjun that money-losing son being fine, her plans thwarted, and the issue with the Song Family emerging again, that wretched woman, let her enjoy for a few months, until the yin fetus reaches full three months, then it’s payback time.

But these aren’t the main problem, major trouble is Daoist Yi Yang escaping, then who would perform the magic for her?

After much thought, Princess Si Yi decided to write to her father, requiring someone else to be dispatched to help.

She had someone bring paper and pen, and using a homing pigeon from the mansion, sent the message out. Fearing further issues with Song, she intended to check on it but as soon as she stepped out, her foot slipped, causing her to fall, her tailbone throbbing painfully, eliciting a piercing scream.

Princess Si Yi’s mind went blank with panic, not daring to move, her face pale, shouting for help: "Quick, quickly fetch an Imperial Physician."

She was supposed to birth a noble child; she couldn’t afford any bodily harm, otherwise all schemes would go down the drain. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Chaos ensues.
