Chapter 62 Divination For Lady Zhao

"Help?" Yun Shang raised an eyebrow at her sister's request. 'It's rare that such an arrogant Princess would need help with her things.'

Yun Shang smiled, "Of course, sister! Just tell me. If there is anything I can do, I will try my best."

"I'm not asking you to kill or set fire. Just do me a little favor, please. You know what happened during your Coming-of-age Ceremony. Because of that sachet, Mo Jingran and I were misunderstood by people. I sent someone to ask him about the sachet. He said that one of Lady Shu's maids gave it to him. The maid told him that you wanted him to have it. He believed her. Since he was quite fond of you, he wore it all the time. I have no idea why Lady Shu had my sachet and pretended it to be yours. Since she is our father's concubine, I don't want to argue with her about it. But since that day, I have been rumored to have seduced him. People say I am a woman without virtues. I'm married and those rumors are hurtful."

"Oh... How could anyone say that? The rumors are hurtful and offensive!" Yun Shang stared at Hua Jing in wide-eyed amazement.

"I can't deal with it. Although I'm a Princess, I can't stop people from talking, " sighed Hua Jing. Then she turned to Yun Shang and smiled. "That's why I asked you to do me a little favor."

Yun Shang nodded. "What can I do for you, sister?"

Hua Jing was silent for a moment as she pretended to think. "There is a small party in a few days and I invited him too. I didn't want people to think I was hiding something by not inviting him. But it's not proper for me to associate with Mo Jingran. I hope you can accompany him at the party."

Astonishment reflected on Yun Shang's face. She took a moment to think about Hua Jing's request. Suddenly everything became clear. "Oh, I see. I thought you wanted me to do something difficult. Now you can be assured that I will do what you have asked."

Hearing that, Hua Jing's eyes filled with joy. "Thank you very much, my dear sister!"

Suddenly, a maid's voice could be hear. "Your Highnesses, It's time for lunch. Today is the first day of the N

experience, not for enjoyment. Please forgive me for not granting your request."

Hearing that, the old lady looked disappointed. Though her eyes dimmed for a moment, a smile reappeared on her face. "I see. All right then. I have heard that the monks at Ning'guo Temple are very good at divination. Master Wu Na had predicted the time of rain for Princess Hui Guo. I know you can't teach me dharma, but I have another request...can you divine for me?"

Wu Di hesitated, but finally he said, "Yes."

Lady Zhao asked a servant to bring a pen and paper. After a moment's reflection, she drew a square on the paper. "I want you to help me predict whether one member of my family will be safe in the future."

Wu Di looked at the drawing, and then drew the shape of a human inside it. "You drew a square and asked about a person from your family. This is why I have drawn a person inside the square. It seems like he's in a cage. I'm afraid the person you care about is not in very good condition."

The old lady's face turned pale. "So...how can I save my son?"

Wu Di look at the square on the paper, and spoke. "If you want to save the man, you have to remove the cage. Your son, who should be a man of great success, is trapped in the cage now. It means that he is repressed by someone whose position is higher than his. What's worse, the person repressing him now will finally bring him death."
