A Hexagram determines the monarchs mind - Chapter22

"Why don't you read Wang Hua's fortune?" Xu Ting looked at Wang Hua, who had just entered the room and was still breathing heavily. Then, he turned to Lord Chen and said, "Why don't you read Wang Hua's fortune?"

At this moment, he didn't care about the love of his colleagues.

"What?" Wang Hua looked confused.

"Come and sit down," Chen Jue said as he walked towards the desk. Li Xiao followed closely behind.

"What?"

Wang Hua followed Lord Chen to the desk and turned to look at Xu Ting. He mouthed to him, "What happened?"

Xu Ting didn't look at Wang Hua. Instead, he stared at the shadows in the room vigilantly.

After Wang Hua sat down, Xu Ting lit up the other three oil lamps in the room.

The lights shone on them from all four corners.

However, wherever there was light, there would be shadows. Xu Ting stood beside Lord Chen, keeping his guard up.

After Li Xiao threw the copper coins, she began her routine of touching hands … Oh, no, reading palms.

Wang Hua wasn't as repulsed as Xu Ting. Instead, he stared at Li Xiao's palm-sized face like a hooligan!

Li Xiao put away the copper coins.

Chen Jue and Xu Ting looked over, their eyes full of questions.

Li Xiao shook her head.

"Master Wang, you and your dog should cherish the rest of your days. It … will die in these two days."

She saw Wang Hwa's future, but it was roughly a few days later. He hugged the dog in pain, and he even buried the black dog seriously.

Wang Hua cried out, and a sad expression immediately appeared on his face.

Xu Ting and Chen Jue showed disdain at the same time.

"There's no indication of today's fortune in the divination." Li Xiao pursed her lips and stood up. She picked up the teapot and filled Lord Chen's cup with tea.

There was no need to be afraid of insomnia from drinking tea tonight. This was going to be a sleepless night anyway.

"Daren, Jing Beihou has already entered the palace overnight to request an audience with the Emperor. Wang Yi escorted Jing Beihou to the palace gate and will rush back." Wang Hua forcibly tidied up his sorrowful mood and stood up to continue the unfinished report.

Chen Jue nodded, wondering if he had missed anything. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a shadow moving on its own as if it had its own will.

The next moment, the situation suddenly changed!

All of a sudden, a man leaped up from the shadows under Li Xiao's feet. He held a dagger high in his hand and stabbed it toward Li Xiao's back from the top.

Li Xiao's back was facing the person in the shadow. She was still carrying the teapot and putting it on the table.

Chen Jue's mind went blank, but his body had already moved.

He scooped up the ignorant little girl into his arms with his long arms. She was so small, so it was easy for him to catch her.

Immediately, his whole body rushed to the side, holding the little girl, and threw her to the side.

The person who jumped out of the shadow was Prince Six. Chen Jue's behavior was completely out of his expectations.

He did not withdraw the dagger in his hand. He stabbed Li Xiao, the fortune-teller, but ruthlessly cut Chen Jue's right arm.

Blood spurted out, and the smell of blood filled the room.

Chen Jue wrapped Li Xiao and both fell to the ground.

He hugged the little person in his arms and wanted to roll to the side to hide, but he did not expect that his recliner and desk were right next to him. There was nowhere to hide!

Prince Six's attack did not kill anyone, so he withdrew the dagger and raised it to stab at Chen Jue again.

Chen Jue subconsciously turned over and protected Li Xiao under his body. His whole person completely covered her in his arms.

Li Xiao's eyes widened, but soon her line of sight was blocked by Chen Jue.

In that instant, he saw the Sixth King's fierce eyes and the dazzling cold light on the long dagger he raised high to stab down —

Prince Six's dagger was about to pierce Chen Jue's back. Xu Ting and Wang Hua were two steps away and could not help at all.

"Stop —" Xu Ting suddenly roared.

It was still Xu Ting's clear voice, but it sounded a little louder because of anxiety.

There was nothing strange about the voice, but the people who heard it felt their scalps tingle.

Even his heartbeat slowed down a little …

Chen Jue wanted to get up and dodge, but his whole body was numb and he could not move.

Wang Hua was rushing in the direction of Prince Six and Lord Chen. When he heard the voice, he also felt powerless. It was as if the air in the whole world had frozen, squeezing him and making him unable to move.

Prince Six's momentum of stabbing the dagger also came to an abrupt halt. He was frozen in place, motionless like a puppet, as if he had been fixed by someone.

He widened his eyes in shock, not daring to believe that such a thing could actually happen — — As Xu Ting shouted, he actually couldn't move at all.

He suddenly remembered what he said when he mentioned Xu Ting in the small pavilion today. He had always heard that Xu Ting had an unusual ability, but he had asked a few people, and none of them could give him an explanation. So he thought that it was an exaggeration.

But at this moment, he was fixed in place and could not move. He suddenly realized that it was true that Xu Ting had a supernatural ability.

He was careless and underestimated the enemy …

During the day, he was questioned by Chen Jue and the others. He relied on his ability to move in the shadows and did not pay attention to them at all.

They named Jing Beihou's daughter as being in danger, but he went straight to the Assistant Minister Fu of the Ministry of Rites that night. He wanted everyone to see!

Even if you were on guard, even if you sent several people to monitor Su King Fu and the Assistant Minister Fu of the Ministry of Rites, he could still kill under everyone's eyes!

No one could stop him.

But he never expected that when he stabbed the pregnant woman's abdomen on the bed in the Assistant Minister Fu of the Ministry of Rites, he stabbed the iron plate …

After escaping, he went straight to the House of Chen. He did not expect to be fixed in place by Xu Ting.

Xu Ting resisted the dizziness after using the 'Speech Technique'. He took two steps forward and kicked Prince Six.

Prince Six, who could not move, was kicked to the ground, unable to fight back.
