At last, another best lot arrived—Lei Jun was delighted.
But the way the lot's fortune was described piqued his curiosity.
*At the moment, even though his mind wandered with curiosity, Lei Jun kept his face perfectly calm, merely reminding his fellow sect brother, Chu Kun,* "This visit from the Crown Prince to the mountain, though its timing is delicate, shouldn't bring any major trouble."
Chu Kun pondered the words, "Her Majesty the Empress currently has neither reason nor need to harm her own nephew—true enough. Even if she intended to act against the Crown Prince, she wouldn't pick this moment. But what about other people?"
Lei Jun said, "If the Crown Prince and the Emperor weren't on the same side, anyone trying to touch the Crown Prince would first have to deal with the Qingzhou Ye Clan.
If the Crown Prince and the Emperor were united, then the noble families and houses wouldn't act right now, they'd pick another time instead."
