Cold Moon Palace

Feng Jiuwu was the Empress. If those ministers in the imperial court could really have their fortunes calculated with absolute clarity, many secrets would probably be leaked, which would actually be a good thing for the future of the Cold Moon Kingdom.

Luo Chen shook his head.

“Miss Jiuwu, you think too highly of me!“

“With this capability of mine, I might be able to calculate things clearly for a minor ninth-grade official, but for those with high official ranks, I really cannot handle it.“

Luo Chen was truly not deceiving Feng Jiuwu when he said this.

The system had made it clear that it had to upgrade to become more powerful.

Upgrading required points!

Currently, the system was at level one, and upgrading to level two required one hundred thousand points.

The ten thousand points in Luo Chen’s hands were far from enough.

“Young master, then my father cannot have his fortune calculated either?“

“I originally wanted to have him come find you for a calculation.“

Feng Jiuwu said.

She indeed wanted to have the Retired Emperor come for a calculation; the Retired Emperor’s health was not very good.

The imperial physicians in the palace could not find the problem.

Luo Chen’s eyes lit up.

If Miss Feng Jiuwu could become his wife in the future, her father would be his father-in-law. If he won over his father-in-law, wouldn’t the probability of success be much greater? This might also make her abandon any thoughts of destroying him.

“Miss Jiuwu, having your father come over for a calculation is actually fine.“

“As long as we do not touch upon matters of the imperial court or the common people, as those heavenly secrets are too heavy and difficult to calculate, other matters can still be calculated.“

Luo Chen said with a smile.

Feng Jiuwu’s eyes lit up: “My father has an old ailment. I wonder if the cause can be calculated.“

Luo Chen thought about it and said: “Miss Jiuwu, this should be possible.“

Feng Jiuwu said: “My father does not quite believe in fortune-telling. I will try my best to persuade him to come take a look!“

“Young master, if my father comes, does he also have to arrive early to draw a stick?“

Luo Chen looked at Feng Jiuwu apologetically: “Miss Jiuwu, it indeed has to be like this.“

Feng Jiuwu had a headache.

The Retired Emperor did not believe in these things to begin with. Making him run over early in the morning to line up, she feared that if he became displeased, he would have Luo Chen’s head chopped off.

“Then this matter can only be taken slowly!“

Feng Jiuwu let out a sigh and said, “Young master, I still have matters at home, so I will head back first. You still owe me a meal, do not forget.“

After speaking, Feng Jiuwu stood up to leave.

Luo Chen hastily stood up: “Miss Jiuwu, may I ask, do you have a sweetheart?“

The surrounding men in black glared at him.

Luo Chen was too bold!

Feng Jiuwu glanced at Luo Chen, smiled, and said: “For the young master to ask this, could it be that you are interested in me? Then you will have to work harder!“

Luo Chen felt happy in his heart.

For Feng Jiuwu to say this meant she likely did not have a sweetheart, and her impression of him should also be quite good.

Only at present, they were indeed not a match in social status.

He was currently just a small fortune-teller, only possessing a bit of fame in a small place.

Feng Jiuwu’s identity and status were so high.

“Miss Jiuwu, I will work hard!“

Luo Chen nodded and said. For such a beautiful girl, he still had to find a way to marry her and bring her home.

Once he bought a good house and raised his status, especially getting his points up, Luo Chen felt his hopes were quite high.

Feng Jiuwu had a good family background, but he was a cheat who possessed the system!

Even if the system was only at level one now, it was already extremely strong!

“Young master, goodbye.“

Feng Jiuwu left, and Luo Chen saw her to the shop entrance.

Once the carriage was out of sight, Luo Chen finally withdrew his gaze.

“Old Zheng, how has business been lately?“

Luo Chen walked over to a shop nearby. This shop was quite a bit larger than the one he rented; it was a martial arts hall.

“Young master, as to whether this old man’s business is good or not, with your capability, you should be absolutely clear, right?” Old Zheng said helplessly. The martial arts hall was opened by him, and recently, not many people had been coming.

Ba County was a world of cultivation, but martial artists also had to make a living. There was a whole crowd of martial arts halls and academies in Qingling City!

In the past, Old Zheng’s business was passable, but a while ago, he lost in a sparring match, which ruined his reputation, and business immediately deteriorated. Many of his former students had also been snatched away.

Luo Chen smiled: “Old Zheng, I do not casually perform divinations for people, but I can also see that your current business is not doing well.“

“This place of yours is not small, and the rent should not be low. Do you want to continue holding onto this martial arts hall, or do you plan to sublease the shop?“

Hearing this, Old Zheng asked in pleasant surprise: “Young master, you want to rent it?“

He indeed wanted to sublease the martial arts hall. Losing money every day, if this continued, he would lose all his coffin money.

Luo Chen nodded: “My place is a bit small. If it is fine, I will rent this side as well, so the people who come every day won’t block the street.“

“They can also have a place to sit.“

Old Zheng hastily said: “Young master, if you want to rent it, is it alright to transfer it to you at the original price? The rent has risen slightly now.”

“Thank you, Old Zheng.”

Before long, Luo Chen signed the sublease agreement with Old Zheng. The landlord for both shops was the same person.

The landlord very readily agreed to Luo Chen’s request to connect the two shops.

“Young master, I will handle the matter of connecting them. I will get it done for you today!” the landlord said politely.

As the landlord, he had watched Luo Chen calculate fortunes for people many times and admired Luo Chen’s capability immensely. He actually did not even want to collect rent!

But Luo Chen did not want to owe this kind of personal favor. Adding the two shops together, the monthly rent was only one hundred taels of silver.

In the past, Luo Chen could not have borne it; he could not even earn one hundred taels a month. Now that he had the new business, paying this bit of rent was extremely easy.

…

Cold Moon Palace.

“Your Majesty, the captured culprit has already confessed. It was indeed Wei Zhong who instructed him to commit the murders.”

“Chen Guiyuan’s wife and child were both killed on Wei Zhong’s orders.”

Yan Yi personally reported to Feng Jiuwu. He was the commander of the Brocade Guild Guards, a nine-star Martial Emperor level expert, yet he was still trembling with fear in front of Feng Jiuwu.

The previous commander of the Brocade Guild Guards had thought Feng Jiuwu was young and a woman, and had spoken somewhat presumptuously; now, the grass on his grave was already three feet high.

“Investigate the entire Wei family thoroughly.”

“Since this kind of thing happened, there might very well be other matters.”

“Investigate it inside out for me!” Feng Jiuwu’s voice was ice-cold.

“Yes, Your Majesty!” Yan Yi took his orders and left.

Only after reaching the outside of the Imperial Study did Yan Yi let out a sigh of relief.

“For Her Majesty to do this is to fully assist Luo Chen. It also makes it easier for her to speak in front of Luo Chen.”

“Could Her Majesty really be interested in Luo Chen?” Yan Yi wondered in his heart.

Then he shook his head. Even if that were the case, he felt the possibility of Feng Jiuwu letting Luo Chen become the Imperial Consort was not high.

Luo Chen was just a minor fortune-teller.

In the eyes of a nine-star Martial Emperor level expert like Yan Yi, an ordinary person like Luo Chen was no different from an ant on the ground.

Although Feng Jiuwu was the Empress, it was also impossible for her to choose however she pleased; the matter of the Imperial Consort was not for her to decide alone.

“That kid Luo Chen actually asked if I have a sweetheart.”

“His courage is truly not small.”

The corners of Feng Jiuwu’s mouth carried a faint smile, a smile that was indeed very beautiful.

Previously, Luo Chen had asked if she was married, and now he asked if she had a sweetheart. What he was thinking in his heart, Feng Jiuwu had already seen with absolute clarity.

“Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager requests your presence.”

At this moment, a palace maid from the Empress Dowager’s palace came before Feng Jiuwu and bowed respectfully as she spoke.

Feng Jiuwu frowned slightly.
