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

Chapter 22: Ten Thousand Pounds of Gold (Two in One)

Xu Fu's realm was so high that even though he was possessing the maid in the palace with his spiritual consciousness, it was not difficult for him to avoid Gu Fangchen's actions in advance.

However, the problem is that she is now possessed by a maid in the palace.

Even though Gu Fangchen's identity as a maid in a royal palace was already set in stone, he was still the prince after all, and it was impossible for her to escape his clutches.

So the moment Xu Fu realized Gu Fangchen's intention, he just stiffened for a moment, then controlled himself and let the young man hold his hand.

But there was still some barely perceptible anger in her heart.

Although I had vaguely heard of Gu Fangchen's bad reputation, I never expected that this guy could be so ridiculous.

Now everyone in the palace is waiting to try Gu Fangchen. Once confirmed, it may determine Gu Fangchen's life or death.

——Even if Ning Caiyong protected him, the identity of the Prince of Zhenbei represented a large amount of resources, including various elixirs to maintain the life of Gu Fangchen's battered body.

If the palace had not been able to provide these resources, Gu Fangchen would not have survived until today.

However, at this time, he actually still had the mood to tease the maid!

In any case, these rebellious lunatics must be taught a lesson...

Xu Fen lowered his head expressionlessly, looking at his hand being held by Gu Fangchen, and inevitably noticed the strange feeling coming from it.

The young man's cold fingers pressed against her palm. The touch of another person's skin was so vivid that it could not be ignored.

No matter whether she was a disciple of the "Tianming Dao" or a high and mighty national teacher, no one had ever held her hand.

Especially if it's a person of the opposite sex...

Xu Fu felt strange under the pressure, but at this moment his mind raced and he suddenly noticed something out of place.

Shouldn't...

Normally, women tend to be cold, and men's body temperature is often higher than women's, especially their hands and feet.

But the temperature of Gu Fangchen's hand was much lower than hers!
Xu Fu looked at Gu Fangchen, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and he immediately discovered the clue.

Although a cluster of soul fire appeared in the void at this moment, Gu Fangchen's spiritual consciousness was more vigorous than before in her vision.

But on the contrary, his body was emitting a withered, decayed and exhausted smell.

This is the breath of a dying person!
After Xu Fu made this judgment, he frowned in his heart.

How can it be?

Theoretically, Gu Fangchen should have five years left to live, so how could his life be burned out in an instant?
The doubt at this moment prevented Xu Fu from teaching her a lesson.

Instead, the next second, she heard Gu Fangchen's extremely blasphemous words, and her expression suddenly froze.

No matter who heard these words, they were all naked teasing, and they would only think that this fake prince was a complete bastard.

In public, he dared to speak without restraint in front of the King of Zhenbei.

But the person who listened was Xu Fu.

Taiping...

It's a pity that it's too peaceful.

Xu Fu’s destiny is “peace in the world”!

Is this a coincidence?

No, this is definitely not a coincidence.

As the leader of the "Tianming Dao", Xu Fu is the person in the world who believes least in coincidences.

Moreover, there was not a trace of lewdness in the tone of Gu Fangchen's second half of the sentence, and his sigh was full of regret.

It seems to be saying that it's a pity that peace in the world cannot be achieved.

Xu Fu raised his head and met Gu Fangchen's gaze.

Gu Fangchen raised his eyebrows, and fearlessly took her hand and rubbed it, while continuing to comment with a wicked smile:

"But peace has its advantages. You have a beautiful face. If you put a red mole between your eyebrows and dress up as a nun, you will definitely look very charming."

Xu gave him a blank look.

Gu Fangchen appeared calm on the surface, but in reality, he was sweating profusely from being stared at...

Although what he did was bold, it was definitely the most effective way. It made Xu Fu realize in front of everyone that he had recognized her.

Gu Fangchen was sure that Xu Fu would come over for clues about the Demon Cult.

Moreover, the Grand Master of the Imperial Court did not like to be present in person, but preferred to suddenly appear and possess someone out of nowhere.

This habit is little known, and it is one of Xu Fu's magical powers. Even the other second-grade masters cannot detect it.

The only characteristic of possession is the unique cold fragrance.

In addition, Gu Fangchen knew all the maids in the house very well, and he could clearly hear the changes in their fragrance...so he could make an accurate judgment.

However, teasing this great national master, even if it is just a layer of skin between them, is really stressful enough.

Fortunately, Xu Fu did not pull his hand back.

Instead, Gu Lianxian, who was standing next to him, finally couldn't stand it anymore and slapped his hand away.

A pretty face flushed angrily:
"Gu Fangchen! Do you still think you're the prince? You have to understand that you're just a fake who's taken over the palace. How can you continue to act tyrannically in the palace?"

Gu Fangchen leaned back carelessly and said shamelessly:

"What's wrong? The results haven't come out yet. If the imperial edict hasn't been issued, then I'm still the prince."

"Besides, even if I'm not the Crown Prince anymore, I'm still the only true disciple of the Martial Saint. Can't I be a little more arrogant?"

Gu Lianxian was immediately hit in the sore spot and gritted her teeth:
"you!"

Gu Yuye took a sip of tea, turned to look at Ning Caiyong, and said lightly:
"Look at the 'good son' you raised."

Gu Yuye's words were actually a reminder to his princess to think about the heartbreaking words he had said to her before.

How much of it is just careless talk, and how much of it is likely to come true.

Is it appropriate to let such a misbehaving "son" continue to stay in the palace?
But Ning Caiyong had already made up her mind last night. She just curled her fingers and clenched the handkerchief in her hand. She ignored her husband's mocking remarks and turned to Gu Fangchen and gently scolded him:

"Chen'er! Business is important, don't mess around!"

At this critical moment of life and death, if someone else had done what Gu Fangchen did, it would have seemed very abrupt.

But thanks to the original character, the reactions of the people present were different, but there was no surprise or doubt among them.

It can be seen how deeply Gu Fangchen's daily debauchery and immorality are deeply rooted in people's hearts!
"Oh."

Gu Fangchen sat upright with an obedient look on his face, but suddenly he heard a strange, faint female voice in his mind.

"You've never seen me."

Xu Fu often sat on the Canliao Pillar, gazing at the stars, sky and earth. Except for the emperor, no one had ever seen what she looked like.

But Gu Fangchen could tell that she had a red mole between her eyebrows.

Gu Fangchen calmly responded with his spiritual sense, smiling:

"You are wrong, Master Imperial Master. Not only have I met you, I have also had a long conversation with you all night long."

Shinto monks can communicate with each other through telepathy. Of course, as a fellow Shinto monk, Gu Youren would generally be able to sense it.

However, the person who initiated the conversation now was Xu Fu, Gu Youren’s master!

So Gu Fangchen was even more daring when it came to deceiving people.

Anyway, no one else heard it, so no one could expose his bragging.

Xu Fu: “…”

The Imperial Master fell silent.

The souls communicate with each other, and all emotions of those with lower cultivation levels cannot be hidden in front of those with higher cultivation levels.

She could easily tell that Gu Fangchen was not lying.

But this is simply impossible. How could she not remember who she had talked to?

Unless the other party's cultivation level is so high that it is unbelievable, he can see the other side of all the causes and effects in the world and travel through them at will.

But obviously... this is even more of a fantasy.

Xu Fu's true form opened his eyes and reached out to stir the water and the stars, searching for Gu Fangchen's fate. But when his slender, white hands emerged from the water, they found nothing.

The Imperial Master suddenly lost his composure.

When Emperor Yong'an came to see her before, she had made a rough deduction for Gu Fangchen, but the result she got at that time was not like this.

Gu Fangchen is indeed a fake prince who was replaced by the Demon Cult, and will die in half a year.

This was the result at that time.

But now, Gu Fangchen's fate... seems to have disappeared!

He was clearly standing in front of her, and the cause and effect lines on his body were a tangled mess, but his fate could not be deduced.

The past is so clear, why does the future disappear?

Xu Fu's expression was unpredictable.

She suddenly thought of the national destiny that was suddenly stolen without any warning and disappeared without any warning.

How similar are the two?
Such a cause and effect destiny technique must have reached the first level!
So, Gu Fangchen is Liusi Star Lord’s man?
No, that shouldn't be the case. The Six Star Lords are extremely cautious and not the type to show off or provoke others.

Is there a third person in the world who can elevate the art of cause and effect to such a high level?
Gu Fangchen asked:
"Well, did you figure anything out?"

Xu Fu raised his eyes, looked through the maid's eyes at Gu Fangchen who seemed to be expecting something, and did not answer, but said:
"Since you know who I am, you should also be aware that your life or death now depends on my thoughts."

Gu Fangchen chuckled and said:
"But hasn't the Imperial Master also seen that I don't have much time left? Threatening a dead person with death is utterly useless."

Indeed, in Gu Fangchen's situation, it can only be said that even gods cannot save him.

Even Xu Fu couldn't think of how he would survive.

Xu Fu was silent for a while.

Seeing this, Gu Fangchen knew that Xu Fu really hadn't figured out anything useful from him.

The identity of a time traveler should be beyond the rules of this world, which made Xu Fu silent.

The National Master is one of the people with the best character among all the NPCs, otherwise how could he have taught such an upright disciple like Gu Youren.

When she couldn't calculate the result using the law of cause and effect, the last resort she could think of was the death threat.

Gu Fangchen struck while the iron was hot and then sighed.

"It's a pity that I won't be able to see peace in the world in my lifetime..."

Xu Fu's only obsession is the four words "peace in the world".

If you want to impress her, you naturally have to talk to her about your ideals.

However, despite knowing that Xu Fu was not lying, he remained unmoved by his few casual words.
"In this world, there are very few people who truly want peace, and even fewer who have the ability to bring peace to the world."

Gu Fangchen has exceeded her expectations in many ways, but she believes more in what she sees.

After all, his cultivation was only at the ninth level of the Divine Way, which was still a castle in the air.

Without the support of actual cultivation, concealing one's fate may just be a trick.

Now that small bit of national destiny has disappeared without a trace, Xu Fu cannot judge whether this is related to Gu Fangchen.

Gu Fangchen curled up the corners of his mouth.

Xu Fu's words meant that she was measuring whether she could be trusted and cooperated.

If it was the original body, it would not even be in the eyes of the National Master, let alone be evaluated.

It can be said that with just a few words, Gu Fangchen has raised his own value hundreds of times.

Gu Fangchen went further and said:

"Master Imperial Master, I did use some tricks, but what if I could figure out the whereabouts of the Six Star Lords?"

Xu Fu's pupils constricted.

Even if Gu Fangchen is indeed Liusi Star Lord's man, the latter would never reveal his whereabouts. Such betrayal is absolutely not allowed.

Thinking of the strange phenomena on Gu Fangchen that were beyond common sense and even she could not understand.

Xu Fu was a little shaken.

But she still said coldly:

"Just these little tricks of yours?"

"Just these little tricks of mine."

Gu Fangchen smiled and said confidently:
"You and the Six Star Lords are both on the 'Way of Heaven', following the righteous path of cause and effect. You count me, I count you, and in the end, no one can count the other."

"But I'm different. I'm using crooked methods to exploit loopholes, so naturally, I can't be prevented."

Although he actually knew the whereabouts of the Six Star Lords very clearly, he couldn't just say it out loud.

By packaging this as one's own strength, it is obviously easier to fool the Imperial Master.

Only if you know how to paint a rosy picture can you keep people hooked.

Xu Fu was naturally extremely concerned about the Six Star Lords, who was a major concern for him.

Now that there is such an opportunity in front of her, how could she miss it?

Gu Fangchen said:

"I might as well reveal something. Just as the Imperial Master thought, I am indeed not Gu Fangchen. I am just borrowing his karma."

"Inviting the Imperial Master here is due to some unavoidable difficulties..."

Xu Fu didn't ask who he was, and said directly:
"what do you want?"

"Master Imperial Master is indeed straightforward. I originally wanted to help you gain peace, but my future is uncertain now, and I really have no idea..."

Gu Fangchen suddenly paused here.

"Speak directly if you have anything to say."

Gu Fangchen chuckled and said:
"As long as the Imperial Master gives me ten thousand taels of gold right now, I will serve you like a slave!"

Xu Fu: “……?”

The Imperial Master was stunned.

She thought about many possible requests that the other party might make, but she never expected that they would ask for the most vulgar and useless yellow and white things!
For practitioners of their level, wouldn't gold and silver be readily available?
As a result, Gu Fangchen’s request was actually this... This shocked the National Master’s heart far more than the previous visions.

It left her speechless for a long time.

It seems that this guy who pretended to be Gu Fangchen was indeed as he said, a vulgar villain who only knew how to play tricks and follow evil ways.

But there are so many strange people and things in this world that Xu Fu doesn't care about them.

She wanted to see what this guy was trying to do.

Based on her understanding of Gu Yuye, even if Gu Fangchen borrowed the title of National Master, this man would not give up his goal.

……

No matter how Gu Fangchen joked around, it eventually came to the point where Gu Youren examined his karma and destiny.

Just as Gu Youren stretched out his hand, a soldier walked in quickly and reported to Gu Yuye in a low voice.

Gu Yuye frowned:

"The alchemy boy from Canliaozhu is here? He's carrying a lot of boxes. What are he doing here..."

He waved his hand and let the person in.

Soon a childish voice was heard from outside the door:

"Everyone move in!"

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Boxes of heavy gold were brought in and placed on the ground, causing dust to fly.

Gu Yuye frowned even deeper:
"May I ask, young boy, what does the Imperial Master mean by this?"

The boy in a Taoist robe, delicate and elegant, bowed and said in a clear voice:
"The Imperial Master wants to give the Crown Prince a gift of ten thousand taels of gold."
