Prepared the carriage and headed directly to the Astronomical Observatory.

On the way, we encountered the patrol team of the Capital Guard. If ordinary people were out in the middle of the night, they would surely be captured and interrogated. Especially now, when Prince Cheng’s Heir has just been assassinated.

But seeing that it was the Crown Prince, these guards saluted and then moved aside.

At this time, the gate of the Astronomical Observatory was tightly closed. The Crown Prince asked someone to knock, but unexpectedly, before the knock could start, the door opened, and a small Daoist rubbed his eyes in surprise and said: "Master said a distinguished guest would arrive, so he sent me to open the door, and indeed, a distinguished guest has arrived!"

The Crown Prince was troubled, but upon hearing this, his heart felt reassured as if he had swallowed a calming pill. Mr. Gongyang’s predictions were infallible, and not just for a nightmare; he could surely foresee even greater matters.

Father is muddle-headed, not realizing that such a capable person is hidden in the Astronomical Observatory, only granting a mere Fourth Rank Official position. With such abilities, becoming the State Preceptor would be well-deserved!

Father adheres to the old custom of over six hundred years, not appointing a State Preceptor! Six hundred years ago the world was called Tianqian, and now it’s Nanxia; it’s still the Huangfu family’s world, but times have changed, and it’s time for a change!

However, it doesn’t matter. If not for father adhering to old practices, and not daring to make changes, leaving such talent neglected, then it’s up to him.

Luckily he’s fortunate. Upon hearing about Gongyang Puyu, he humbly and respectfully welcomed him, making Gongyang Puyu work for him.

The Stargazing Fragment is indeed indescribable!

The Daoist led the Crown Prince inside, Gongyang Puyu with fan and scarf, exuding the demeanor of a worldly high figure.

Because of the door-opening incident, the Crown Prince regarded Gongyang Puyu more highly and greeted him respectfully with a bow, saying, "Mr. Gongyang, visiting late at night, I much disturb you!"

Gongyang Puyu smiled slightly, returned the greeting, and said, "Your Highness is too kind. I know you have unresolved doubts tonight, and that’s why I haven’t gone to sleep."

Upon hearing his calm voice, the Crown Prince felt more at ease and said, "Sir, your predictions are truly divine. Now that Prince Cheng’s Heir, Huangfu Jingchen, is dead, I wish for you to help determine whether the heavenly mandate has been unified?"

Gongyang Puyu said, "Please, Your Highness!"

He led the Crown Prince to a room filled with various discs and instruments, and began manipulating them right in front of the Crown Prince.

The sound of spinning machines echoed, Gongyang Puyu stood aside with hands behind his back, saying, "Please take a seat, Your Highness; the result will require a moment!"

The Crown Prince did not sit down, his eyes fixed on the constantly moving dials and instruments, eyes glowing with fervor, although he could understand nothing. But listening to the machine and dials’ sounds, he felt it was the most beautiful music in the world!

His eyes were full of anticipation and joy, involuntarily showing a smile.

After half an hour, everything stopped, and Gongyang Puyu glanced at it, then turned to face the expectant gaze of the Crown Prince, eagerly asking, "Sir, what is the result?"

Gongyang Puyu bowed and replied joyfully, "Congratulations, Your Highness, the heavenly mandate is unified!"

The Crown Prince was overjoyed, although Gongyang Puyu had already told him that as long as Huangfu Jingchen died, the mandate would unify, receiving his confirmation now was a true reassurance!

The Crown Prince joyfully added, "Thank you, sir! Sir, I will not forget my words from the past! You will become the first State Preceptor of this dynasty!"

Gongyang Puyu smiled enigmatically, calmly indifferent, as if all this was inconsequential or perhaps what he deserved!

This enigmatic demeanor made the Crown Prince more convinced he was a worldly high figure!

However, seeing the Crown Prince so happy, he calmly added, "Your Highness, do not forget, within a month, you will encounter a small calamity. If this is overcome, everything will be smooth and prosperous!"

The Crown Prince was slightly tense, "But if..."

Gongyang Puyu made several calculations with his fingers, as if calculating something, and after a moment said, "Your life should be secure!"

The Crown Prince’s heart sank slightly, implying the life is secure, but only just?

He was about to inquire further when Gongyang Puyu smiled and said, "Your Highness, secrets of heaven must not be revealed; I’ve revealed too much already, and you mustn’t ask further!"

The Crown Prince was helpless, forcing down his doubts.

Huangfu Jingchen is already dead, the heavenly mandate is unified, where’s the small calamity? Since it’s small, it shouldn’t matter, right?

He thought of his nightmare tonight and quickly said, "Sir, I came to bother you in the middle of the night because I had a nightmare, and wish for you to interpret it!"

Seeing the Crown Prince treating him as if he were an immortal, Gongyang Puyu felt gratified, but none of it mattered, as he wasn’t truly the chosen one.

Gongyang Puyu listened to his nightmare, and casually offered some comforting interpretations. The Crown Prince was satisfied, realizing dreams are opposite, so the matter of carving out hearts didn’t exist, or maybe it was what he did to others.

A young man was indistinct? No doubt it was Huangfu Jingchen.

After all, Huangfu Jingchen shared part of the mandate, ending up dead by his hands, the spirit must be restless, disturbing his dreams, it’s possible. But the living Prince Cheng’s Heir he didn’t fear, would he fear a lonely ghost?

After seeing the Crown Prince off, Gongyang Puyu stood in the courtyard, observing the complex stars, lamenting that he only had the Stargazing Method Fragment, he could discern the star signs of the mandate, identify the destined person, but the star formations were ever-changing, what he learned was far from enough to comprehend all star signs.

He hopes the Second Young Master ascends the throne soon, then becoming the State Preceptor, he can harness Nanxia’s resources, find the entire Stargazing Method, and fill this gap!

He desires more than just being a State Preceptor.

Foreseeing destiny, knowing life and death, perhaps he could be like the founder at Bodhi Temple, Xu Yun, and understand life, shatter the void, step into the mysterious realm!

Yes, isn’t the Stargazing Method what Xu Yun left behind? The full volume must contain the secret technique to decipher life and death!

He recalled the Crown Prince’s words, Huangfu Jingchen is dead, is the mandate truly unified?

It was fake, how could the mandate be unified?

The life and death of Huangfu Jingchen, in fact, didn’t matter at all, whether alive or dead, it couldn’t be seen in the stars.

However, within a month, the Crown Prince’s small calamity will be realized, only then the Second Young Master will truly unify the mandate.
