Chapter 2295: Unable to Keep Good Luck
"My lady, that doctor of the Imperial Court has returned to Chang'an. Do we need to send the guest official from Jinchang to go there again?"

There were many people who were keeping an eye on Zhang Xuezhou in the past, but as Zhang Xuezhou ran thousands of miles away, no matter how capable a person was, he could not catch up so far.

As time went by, fewer and fewer people visited Zhang's residence.

But in addition to Dong Zhongshu, who was relatively accurate in following the trajectory of divination, there were also people who made predictions and confirmations again with the help of divination.

In the Huainan Prince's Palace in Chang'an City, the long-bearded Taoist Zuo Wu pinched his beard, put down the pointed tortoise shell, and bowed in response.

"Jinchang has an extremely arrogant personality. Father has sent a message saying that he should not be suppressed by force. Just let him continue to reflect on himself!"

Another princess who was holding a flower in the main hall of Huainan Palace shook her head in response.

"There are so many important officials in the court. Why does the princess want to keep an eye on this Grand Doctor Dongfang Shuo?" Zuo Wu asked puzzledly.

"I don't understand why we should stare at him," the princess said as she plucked a petal, "but my father said that Dongfang Shuo often has incredible luck, and relying on him, we can enjoy the blessings that he has no chance of having!"

"in this way?"

"This is a very interesting person," the princess said, "I don't know how he got the position of Taizhong Doctor by chance, but my father said that he is unlikely to be able to keep the position and will definitely hand it over. I don't want to rely on his position to seek any changes in the etiquette, but I hope he will be blessed to become Taizhong Doctor!"

"Then what blessing will he bring?" Zuo Wu asked puzzledly.

"I don't know either," the princess shook her head and said, "but it doesn't hurt to do it. What if there are unexpected benefits?"

The princess smiled.

She was not familiar with Zhang Xuezhou, but King Huainan was very familiar with Zhang Xuezhou and had a very high opinion of him.

In short, the other party is a source of blessing, and you may get benefits as long as you get in touch with them.

When faced with such a situation, the princess was indeed very enthusiastic about Zhang Xuezhou and was more concerned about his movements.

"What a pity that Jinchang doesn't know the good of it," Zuo Wu sighed.

"He is a demon who relies on the shadows. He has a dark heart and is always wary of others." The princess said dissatisfiedly: "A man like him is only suitable for doing some petty things. Father really didn't miss the arrangement for him!"

"Who will the princess arrange to visit this time?" Zuo Wu asked.

"There is a horse official named Zhang Cigong in the palace. He has some connection with Dongfang Shuo. Let him send a letter to invite Dongfang Shuo to visit the palace!"

The princess reached out to make arrangements.

Inviting someone to visit is a simple matter, but it is difficult for a stranger to invite someone, even the Huainan Palace is no exception.

These things can only happen naturally if there is a certain relationship between the two parties.

More importantly, as long as she has the help of someone familiar, the princess may have the opportunity to gain the benefits that the other party has luckily sought.

This is the King of Huainan's theory of Qi in the art of movement. Although the princess does not understand these contents, there is no problem with her execution.

"Is Dongfang Shuo's good luck still there?" Zuo Wu asked worriedly.

"The left guest minister made a prediction and knew that he would be in Chang'an for only a few days, so there would be very few people who would see him." The princess smiled and said, "If someone still gets lucky in this situation, it's because we are not destined to see him!"

"I see!"

Zuo Wu suddenly realized and stopped asking questions for a while.

Zuo Wu was not a man who liked to ask questions, but his visit to Zhang Xuezhou involved Jinchang, where the previous operation had failed.

In the eyes of the Prince of Huainan, the princess and others, they are all a group of first-class guests in their own fields.

But Zuo Wu knew very well that if there were no conflicts among their group of people, it would be like they were all in the same boat and were helping each other.

Even if Jinchang does not appreciate it, it will not prevent Zuo Wu from currying favor with him in advance, so as to avoid difficulty in asking for help when needed in the future.

He obeyed the princess's instructions, then walked out of the hall, stroking his beard.

Walking out of the main hall of the Huainan Palace and going for more than 200 meters, to the left is the area where ordinary guests are located, which involves Zhang Cigong who was ordered by Zuo Wu to do something, and to the right is the area where senior guests are located.

Zuo Wu looked at the row of houses, then at the racecourse in the distance. He finally shook his head and took the lead to walk to the nearby high-ranking guest residence area. Although the places where the high-ranking guest officials lived in the Huainan Palace were not stand-alone courtyards, they were all small palaces with extremely luxurious decorations.

Jinchang lived in a small hall for a long time.

"A guest official from Jinchang?"

Zuo Wu walked through several corridors before stepping into a palace area and pulling the door knocker.

"The door is not locked, come in yourself!"

An unhappy voice came from the side room of the small hall, which made Zuo Wu smile and then pushed open the door.

A strong smell of medicine immediately hit his nose. Zuo Wu blinked and looked at the man who was lying on an armchair with his head tilted.

After talking for a few sentences, Zuo Wu saw that the other party's head was still tilted and not facing him, which made Zuo Wu frown.

"Visitor from Jinchang, have you contracted any new illness?" Zuo Wu asked.

"I got a stiff neck last night. My neck is numb and it hurts when I turn around." Jin Chang complained, "I'm already this old and my strength is not weak. How could I get a stiff neck?"

“Maybe you’re just too old!”

Zuo Wu comforted him and then sighed, knowing that the punishment against Jin Chang was still continuing.

This is an extremely special spell. This spell spans an extremely long distance and does not have the power of a spell. Therefore, it is impossible to find the source of the spell based on the power of the spell, and even the spell itself cannot be aware of the problem.

There is nothing wrong with this spell, after all, it is not fatal, but it has many minor problems.

For example, Jinchang almost choked while eating, lost his footing while walking, and was hit by a horse while walking absent-mindedly. All kinds of bad luck happened to him one after another, and now he has a stiff neck while recuperating from his injuries.

Jinchang was not unable to move at the moment, but did not want to move.

But the cause of this disaster in Jinchang was too simple, so simple that Zuo Wu couldn't even complain. It was just a simple message, inviting Zhang Xuezhou to visit the Huainan Palace. Not only did the other party fail to do it well, but he also made the princess angry, which led to all the subsequent consequences.

If Jinchang could put aside his rebellious nature and be willing to obey orders, and wait for the princess to send a message to the King of Huainan, everything would be over.

What the Huainan Palace wants is an obedient dog, not a rebellious wolf.

This situation will only disappear if Jinchang comes to his senses and changes his character.

As a person who has been through this, Zuo Wu had experienced similar things a long time ago, but he understood it quickly and got out of the situation early.

He looked at Jinchang, and thought of the "good luck of Dongfang Shuo" mentioned by the princess, and a trace of confusion also flashed across his eyes.

"I heard that your master's descendant Dongfang Shuo has returned to Chang'an City. If you want to see him, you can go out for a walk!"

Zuo Wu reminded.

He had limited knowledge of "Dongfang Shuo's Good Luck" and did not know whether it would have any effect on Jinchang. He just gave a brief reminder.

If Jinchang got good luck by going to Zhang's house, it was Jinchang's ability.

If Jinchang still stayed in this small palace to recuperate and continued to suffer various small painful tortures, that would also be a necessary experience in the process of training in the Huainan Palace.

Zuo Wu's mind was filled with many mixed thoughts, and his eyes were full of complexity.

Zuo Wu still hasn't figured out when he was cursed, where the curse is, or how to get rid of it from his body.

The effect of the spell on him disappeared, but Zuo Wu knew very well that the trigger of the spell still remained in his body. As long as he betrayed the Huainan Palace, endless torture would still be waiting for him.

Zuo Wu had no intention of betraying the Huainan Palace, but he undoubtedly did not like this kind of restraint.

"I will not betray the Huainan Palace, why is there such a restriction? Why do all of us important guests have to be restrained? What exactly is the king worried about?"

Some thoughts flashed through Zuo Wu's mind, but he found it difficult to figure out the key to this.

He had no choice but to wait quietly in the Huainan Palace, waiting for a change in people's hearts in the future, and to see what the reason for restraining himself was.
