She observed for a long time before finally reaching a conclusion: "Our Suisui’s mouth is perfectly fine!"
Prince Yi shook his head without a word. He tried again to reach for the chrysanthemum on his head, but halfway there, an invisible force seemed to push his hand back.
In the Imperial Study, the young Emperor finally concluded the morning court session. He summoned Ji Youzhi and also sent Eunuch Ling to fetch Ji Youze. However, Ji Youze was late, so the Emperor began discussing the case with Ji Youzhi first.
"Are you suggesting that Princess Ata, as Prince Yi claimed, is likely to have a part of her Divine Soul controlled by someone?"
Ji Youzhi nodded. "I do suspect that, but there’s no evidence. Princess Ata isn’t saying anything, so I don’t know if she’s telling the truth or not."
"Since she insists that the Second Young Master can deal with her controlled Divine Soul, summon the Second Young Master to the Palace to examine her."
As soon as the young Emperor said this, Ji Youzhi bowed and ed, "But my second brother is not in the Capital City!"
"Not in the Capital City?"
"No. According to his disciple, he left the Palace early yesterday morning. He had received a letter from my eldest brother, mounted a fast horse, and departed for the Illusion Sect."
The young Emperor fell silent upon hearing this.
"With your second brother not in the capital, this is problematic. Who else understands the arts of the Divine Soul? The National Master is a Taoist sorcerer; he should have some knowledge."
The young Emperor thought of the National Master and immediately sent Eunuch Ling to summon him to the Palace.
Ji Youzhi relayed Xiaosuisui’s words. "Suisui said my second brother cannot solve Princess Ata’s Divine Soul problem. Since she’s controlled by Witchcraft, only someone who practices Witchcraft can resolve it."
"Is the Witchcraft in Nanjiang that powerful? I didn’t expect such potent Witchcraft to still exist after the Great Wizard’s death. It seems Nanjiang is indeed a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"
Hearing the young Emperor’s exclamation, Ji Youzhi voiced his confusion. "In Nanyang Town, the Great Wizard was killed by my eldest brother! But Prince Yi said the Great Wizard of Nanjiang could control others’ Divine Souls. Princess Ata also seems to tacitly agree that her Divine Soul is controlled by the Great Wizard of Nanjiang. Does this mean Nanjiang has a new Great Wizard?"
"That’s why I say Nanjiang truly is a place of hidden dragons and crouching tigers!"
The young Emperor couldn’t help but sigh. Just as he finished speaking, a young eunuch’s voice came from outside.
"Your Majesty, the Eighth Young Master seeks an audience!"
"Let him in."
When Ji Youze entered the Imperial Study, both the young Emperor and Ji Youzhi clearly sensed the gravity on his usually expressionless face.
"Youzhi, have you made any discoveries?"
Eunuch Ling had previously told them that after Ji Youze heard about Princess Ata’s situation, he had gone straight to the Library. Later, it was discovered that Ji Youze had actually gone to the lowest level of the Library, where forbidden books were kept—a place no one could enter without the Emperor’s permission. However, Ji Youze had received the Emperor’s verbal permission several years ago, allowing him free access.
"Your Majesty! I suspect the Great Wizard of Nanjiang might not be dead!"
"What?" The young Emperor looked at him sharply.
Ji Youzhi exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible! The Great Wizard of Nanjiang was killed by my eldest brother. I saw it with my own eyes!"
Ji Youze handed a book to the young Emperor. It was an animal skin-bound book, not perfectly preserved, with only about seventy to eighty percent of its content intact.
"This... quite a bit of it is damaged. I can only understand a few of the words written here!"
The young Emperor looked chagrined. He had been learning to manage national affairs from a young age, leaving him less time than Ji Youze for scholarly pursuits. Consequently, he hadn’t had the opportunity to delve deeply into many subjects.
