Chapter 1925: Chapter 1863: The Amethyst Grows Dim

Just as Wufu was plotting to have his people clash with the guards of the royal mansion, Ah Jiu was in the study listening to Yuan Ye’s report.

Bang!

A thin porcelain teacup by Ah Jiu’s side was knocked to the ground by him, yet he didn’t care in the slightest, staring at Yuan Ye in shock.

"What did you say? Say it again." Did he hear wrong? He said the Imperial Brother would...

Yuan Ye was also alarmed; he hadn’t expected that such casual probing could reveal such terrifying news.

The Emperor Star was dimming, showing signs of falling.

This was the astrological observation Director Yuan had made. No wonder he wanted to resign; he was scared, once such news came out of his mouth, it would definitely lead to his death!

But who wouldn’t be afraid? Hearing this news sent chills all over him as well.

"This was observed by Director Yuan and his apprentice, the night of the Longevity Festival." Yuan Ye swallowed and said, "For this reason, Director Yuan found an excuse to dismiss that apprentice and left the Imperial City the next day."

Ah Jiu sat down on the chair, stunned for a moment, then looked up outside; it was already dark.

He stood up again, walked out, and gazed at the night sky.

However, tonight’s night sky was extraordinarily dark, without a single star, only thick clouds; the north wind was bitterly cold, chilling him to the bone.

Looking at this sky, it seemed a snowstorm was approaching.

Ah Jiu turned around silently and had just taken a step when a small white flower was blown into his sight by the wind.

He turned around, only to see the sky slowly descending snowflakes, gradually getting larger.

Snow had started to fall.

Ah Jiu strained his eyes and looked toward the direction of Amethyst Place, but saw nothing.

The clouds were too thick; he couldn’t see the Amethyst Star.

"What about this matter, my lord?" Yuan Ye cautiously asked.

Ah Jiu closed his eyes, then opened them again, saying, "Suppress it as much as possible, and ensure everyone who knows about this keeps their mouths shut."

"Yes."

"Go!" He weakly waved his hand, supporting himself with the table, rubbing his brow.

Yuan Ye opened his mouth but said nothing, retreated, and there was still much to arrange.

Ah Jiu stayed alone for a while before returning to the Hall of Joyous Union.

"I was just about to have someone call you for dinner, oh, it’s snowing?" Wufu saw him covered in snowflakes and looked outside with surprise—it was indeed snowing, so she chided, "Why didn’t you wear a hood?"

Ah Jiu suddenly reached out and hugged her, resting his chin on her neck.

Wufu was startled for a moment and asked, "What’s wrong?"

The mood was somewhat off, as if he were very sad.

"Wufu, he might die at any moment." Ah Jiu’s voice was as light as a feather, whispering in her ear.

Huh?

He? Who is he?

Wufu gently pushed him away, using her eyes to inquire whom he meant. Could it be the one she was thinking of?

Only someone of the highest status would make him so cautious.

"The ’he’ you’re talking about is..." She pointed a forefinger upwards.

Ah Jiu nodded.

Wufu was appalled.

"What do you mean?" Could it be that Empress Song is counterattacking?

Ah Jiu took her to the bedroom, lowered his voice significantly, and recounted the news Yuan Ye brought.

Wufu knew that in ancient times, people placed significant emphasis on the fate and astrological predictions calculated by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory, but to deduce that someone’s life was nearing its end just based on one Amethyst Star seemed a bit unscientific?

However, Wufu didn’t voice this; seeing Ah Jiu’s grave expression, she cautiously asked, "Ah Jiu, you don’t want him to die?"

Ah Jiu was momentarily stunned and only after a long while said, "I don’t know."
