Joy of Life: I'm really not a saint

"I want to ask you to read my face and see how my health is." He had something to ask for, and before he knew it, Li Chengqian had even changed the way he addressed himself from "Gu" to "I".

Hearing Li Chengqian's second question, Li An frowned slightly, then began to calculate with his left hand, and kept recalling the prince's life in his mind. After a moment, he had the answer in his mind.

After putting his hand down, he looked carefully at the prince's expression and found it interesting himself.

"Your Highness, I'm not saying anything, but if you are sick, go see a doctor. Why waste your time here?"

Li Chengqian looked at Li An, trying to see something from his face: "What's wrong?"

"Vegetarian disease." Li An said firmly, you, the prince, are really playing wildly!

At this moment, Li Chengqian clenched his hands tightly. The secret of being a prince of a country was revealed by the person in front of him. His self-esteem reminded him to kill this person. However, his reason still suppressed his killing intention.

Li An continued, "Your Highness, don't worry. I won't tell anyone. It's better for Your Highness to see a doctor as soon as possible."

But Li Chengqian grasped the key point: "What if someone pays for divination to inquire about this matter?"

"this····"

"You will tell me!"

“...you have to pay more!”

Li Chengqian sighed, but he thought that no one was so bored as to spend a lot of money to inquire about this matter, so he felt relieved.

"You are right, how can we cure it?"

Li An calculated the time and said, "In two years, someone will be able to cure your Highness of this disease."

Li Chengqian said anxiously, "What if I want to be cured now?"

"This question is also worth a thousand taels of gold."

"Say it!"

Li An nodded, and seeing that the deal was done, he replied: "Just find one person, the head of the Third Division of the Overwatch Council, Fei Jie!"

Li Chengqian thought to himself that it was not easy. He had wanted to cure his stubborn disease secretly. Now, after listening to Li An's answer, he thought that only Fei Jie, a master of poison, could cure him. But if he wanted to keep it secret, it would be difficult.

You should know that a master of poison is usually also a doctor who uses medicine. Of course, it does not mean that the higher the doctor's medical skills, the better the poison will be. But the more skilled the poison is, the more likely he is to be a medical expert.

As Li An said, Fei Jie is the person in charge of the third department of the Supervisory Council, and he must be busy with official business, so he probably doesn't have much time to see me. Unless I ask him privately, he can ignore me because they are from the Supervisory Council. And the royal family members are not allowed to interfere in the affairs of the Supervisory Council.

Right now, Fei Jie has left Kyoto on important matters.

It seems that I can only find another opportunity later to ask Fei Jie for medicine! Li Chengqian thought secretly.

Li An looked at Li Chengqian and saw that he had figured it out, so he smiled and said, "Relax, Your Highness, there is no need to be so nervous. Fei Jie will be back soon. Counting the days, he will be back in Beijing in less than a month."

Li Chengqian shook his head and said, "Thank you for clearing up my doubts, sir. Now that I know when Master Fei Jie will return, I am not so panicked. I just have two questions for you, sir."

"Why thank me? I was paid to answer questions. What questions does Your Highness have?"

"Sir, are you a person who is born with knowledge? At such a young age, you actually have such ability, or is this divination really as magical as the rumors say?"

"I am not someone who is born with knowledge. I guess this is just how divination works."

Yes, you guessed it right, I am "born with knowledge", not only do I know that you have syphilis, I also know when you will be finished!

"Then may I know what my second brother is asking you, sir?" Li Chengqian asked.

Ang Lee just put on a faint professional smile, which looked very fake!

Is this what you mean by asking for money? When I take full control of the inner treasury, I will definitely come and ask for a free answer! But it was not possible at the moment. Thinking about my second brother, he would only ask those questions, so there was no need to ask carefully. It didn't matter to me whether Li An answered or not.

Thinking of this, and confirming the ability of the person in front of him, Li Chengqian finally asked the third question.

"I wonder... can I succeed to the throne in the end?"

Here it comes, the fortune telling bonus is super doubled!

"This hexagram is worth ten thousand taels of gold!" Li An then opened his mouth loudly.

"So expensive!?" Li Chengqian exclaimed.

A question: Ten thousand taels of gold, who can make so much money? Although he is the crown prince of a country, the wealth in his hands may not be comparable to those ministers in the court. After all, although his aunt is his own person, the silver money she gives him every month is also limited.

And ten thousand taels of gold is equivalent to one hundred thousand taels of silver!

But this question is too crucial, is it worth ten thousand taels of gold?

value!

Li Chengqian gritted his teeth. Although he didn't have to tighten his belt this month, he still had to take out his own small treasury. After making up his mind, he no longer hesitated and said, "I agree! Please go ahead, sir!"

Li An nodded and replied solemnly: "The answer is... No! You can't!"

How could this be? Li Chengqian felt uncomfortable and his mood slowly sank to the bottom. If he could not inherit the throne, then Li Chengze must have won in the end. If this was the result, what would be his fate?

I felt regretful in my heart. If I had known this would happen, I would not have come to Li Ang for fortune-telling!

Li Chengze suddenly raised his head, his eyes became sharp, and said to Li An in a deep voice: "Is there any way to remedy this? Please teach me, sir!"

Just now, between questions and answers, the atmosphere gradually became better.

But now the prince is really getting ahead of himself. Today is the first time we meet, and you want to play this trick on me, right? There is a saying called "simply talking to someone who is not very acquainted with you". Do you understand? As a prince, he is so innocent, and I don't know if he is pretending to be so.

Li An slowly changed from indifferent to indifferent, and said: "These things have nothing to do with me!"

Ang Lee’s rule is to just give the answer and ignore everything else!

Chapter 24 Threats.

Ignoring the expression of Crown Prince Li Chengqian, Li An spoke to himself, as if speaking to himself: "No matter who comes to me for advice or fortune-telling, as long as they can afford the money, I will give an accurate answer based on the size of the question they ask, but it is limited to the answer itself."

Li An reminded Li Chengqian: "As for the specific process, I won't tell you, let alone the struggle for imperial power."

Li Chengqian also knew that he was anxious, but he was dissatisfied with the man's tone, frowned and said: "It's my fault, please don't blame me. But you know, my second brother is not a good person! He has great ambitions, his mind is unpredictable, and he is tyrannical! If such a person is allowed to sit in that position, my death is a small matter, but what about the people of this world? What about the Qing Kingdom?"

Come on, you're not as good as him!

"Your Highness, you are worrying too much!" He didn't even mention whether he would help him or not, but just pretended to respond.

Li Chengqian sighed and put on a full show. He pretended to be worried and asked, "Sir, are you really so cruel that you won't help me?"

Li An was too lazy to answer. He did not grow up in this era. He was not the kind of person who would rush to join you and be loyal to you just by showing you a few tricks.

Looking at the prince who was as sticky as taffy, I felt helpless. He had said soft words and harsh words, but he still wanted to keep pestering him. Wasn't that a sign of persistence?

"I just don't want to be drawn into the vortex of the struggle for imperial power. I hope Your Highness the Crown Prince will understand."

Seeing that Li An still refused to agree, Li Chengqian asked, "Sir, have you become the disciple of the Second Emperor?"

"No, the second prince also tried to recruit me, but I didn't agree." Li An replied truthfully.

"Then sir, do you know that if you take this stance of not helping either side, no matter whether it is me or your second brother who sits on that position, your fate will not be good?" Li Chengqian's tone gradually became harder. When he failed to recruit him, he resorted to forcing.

Oh, huh? You actually dare to threaten me! I'm not a minister with a family to support, and I have to stand on your side. If you piss me off, I'll turn around and join the Northern Qi. When I grow up, I'll let you know what terror is!

Li An stared at Li Chengqian's neck, considering from which angle to attack, so that the neck would not bleed too much.

Li Chengqian was frightened by Li An's weird eyes. He felt a chill on his back and suddenly shuddered.

He secretly thought that something bad had happened. He shouldn't have entered this yard alone just to show his sincerity.

I asked stubbornly, "What do you think, sir?"

"Your Highness, I am just an ordinary citizen. I don't have the great ability that Your Highness said. Please choose someone else who is more capable!"

Li Chengqian replied: "Sir, your ability is not something that an ordinary person can possess." After thinking about it, he decided that since this was their first meeting, it might not be the right time yet and he should not push too hard: "Then can my fate still be changed?"

Has anyone ever told you that you seem very awkward when changing the subject?

"Everything depends on human effort, Your Highness."

At this time, a slight smile appeared on Li Chengqian's face.

Yes, no ending is predetermined. I will not be willing to die at the hands of Li Chengze. I must strengthen my own strength and change the so-called fate in Li An's mouth!

Li Chengqian smiled after thinking it through and said, "I have gained a lot in Wanshizhai today. It is really worth the trip! It has been a while since I came out. It is time to return to the palace."

Li An bowed slightly: "Your Highness, I am glad that you have gained something! If possible, please spread the news for me so that I can become famous in Kyoto."

"Of course. The divination fee will be delivered tomorrow. No need to send it to me, sir. I will leave now. Hahaha!" Li Chengqian said as if pretending to be bold and unrestrained. He laughed a few times, stood up from his seat and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

"Your Highness, please wait. I will take you there."

Li Chengqian walked out of the yard and ordered the servants: "Return to the palace!"

Then someone came and brought the carriage, carried up the stairs, and let the prince get on the carriage.

Afterwards, the carriage moved slowly and gradually drove out of the block where Wanshizhai was located.

Seeing that his team was already some distance away from the yard, Li Chengqian took a few deep breaths and slowly relaxed.

Just now, for a moment, Li Chengqian really thought that he would die, die in this courtyard called "Wanshizhai"!

"How dare you! You actually have evil intentions towards me. Later, I will definitely let you know what I am doing. Li! An!" Li Chengqian gritted his teeth. Where was the warm expression he had at the beginning?

Li An watched the carriage go away and sneered. It's up to you. No matter if you pretend to be like this or if you really have a ravine in your heart, you can't even see your enemy clearly. How can you struggle if you find a crazy woman as your teammate? Go to bed quickly.

He shook his head and turned back to his own courtyard, waiting for the third guest to arrive.

Time passed slowly, but until the sun was about to set, no one came to the door.

"Did I make a mistake in my divination?" Li An asked curiously. He put down the book in his hand, straightened his back and stretched.

Seeing that it was getting late, I was about to go out and find a stall to have dinner, when someone finally came to the door.

"Brother Li, I'm here. Didn't you expect that?" Fan Xian raised the two packets of oil paper in his hand, indicating that I brought your dinner.

"Look, the tea on the table has been replaced several times. If you don't come, I'm really going out."

Li An gestured to the tea on the table. Fan Xian's face was full of surprise. He looked at Li An with the words "Are you sure?" almost written on his face.

Fan Xian walked into the room and sat down, spreading out his things before asking with a smile, "Do you have any wine?" He was here to get something for free, so he had to be polite.

"Of course there's no wine." Li An was also puzzled. It was really late at this time. Could it be that the third guest was really Fan Xian? The more he thought about it, the more wrong it seemed. He quickly counted on his fingers.

Fan Xian smiled. He knew Li An's ability in Danzhou, and knew that he had many rules, but as long as they were followed, the answers were very accurate. Sometimes the answers were vague, just metaphors, and it might take some time to figure it out.

However, it is rare to see Li An fortune-telling in person nowadays, and he usually gives the answer directly.

After a moment, Li An came to a conclusion and took the teacup from Fan Xian's hand: "No, you are not the third guest I am waiting for. How about you leave first?"

"Are you kidding me? I just arrived, and you won't even let me have a glass of water? I even brought you half a roast chicken and some stewed vegetables!" Fan Xian muttered, looking particularly sad. He came here for free this time, but he never expected that you, Li An, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, would actually give me a free meal? But he still put down the water cup and stood up.

"Okay, I know you have something to do, so I'll go back first. Do you have time tomorrow? Can I invite you to the restaurant for a meal?" Fan Xian then explained his purpose.

Li An naturally knew what was going on, because Fan Xian had never taken the initiative to invite anyone to dinner. He was the typical person who would not visit anyone unless there was something important to do, and would only ask for help when there was something to ask. He immediately joked, "You're treating?"

Fan Xian said with an unnatural look, "Hi! My brother from the Fan Mansion in Kyoto is treating us. I didn't think about it. I don't know anyone in Kyoto, so I wanted you to come along."

Li An nodded to show that he understood, but still rejected him: "I won't go this time, you can have a family gathering by yourselves, I'll treat you next time."

"No, I want to ask you for help with something." Fan Xian said anxiously.

Li An glanced at Fan Xian. "I see you're living quite well in the Fan Mansion. We've only been in Kyoto for a few days. How come you're in trouble again?"

"Just make do with it." Fan Xian emphasized, "It's really not me who caused the trouble. It's the trouble that found me. You must come tomorrow. I'll have my servants pick you up then."

Li An knew that Fan Xian would be involved in a small trouble tomorrow, and then he would be invited to attend the poetry meeting of Prince Jing. After thinking about the pros and cons, this was not in line with my ideal of making money. I could eat, but I couldn't go to the poetry meeting.

Then he agreed: "You can eat, but if there is anything else you have to do it yourself!"

Fan Xian’s face is full of question marks?

What? Can a bomb come out of your meal?

Chapter 25 Assassin!

"You have figured something out! That's why you rejected me!"

Fan Xian said with certainty, "Don't be like this all the time. You only tell half of the story. It keeps me on suspense and makes me worried."

Li An said indifferently: "Don't worry, I'll go to dinner tomorrow and see if I can give you some advice on what you mentioned. But if anything happens, you have to deal with it yourself. We are different. You have a background, but I am alone. I can't shoulder the responsibility."

Fan Xian nodded in understanding. This time when he came to Beijing, he realized that the Fan family had a very high status in Beijing. Although Fan Jian was only an assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, not even a minister, he learned from his cheap father these past two days that he had been accompanying Emperor Qing before he inherited the throne. This was definitely a merit of following the emperor! Moreover, the friendship between the two was very deep.

"Of course. When I invite you to dinner, I naturally cannot let you deal with those trivial matters. Since you agreed, see you tomorrow." Fan Xian did not stop. Just as he was about to leave through the main gate, Li An grabbed him.

"Let me tell you the truth. There are a lot of people watching you right now." Li An said meaningfully.

"I also noticed that every time I go out, someone follows me secretly. What's going on?"
