100: About to come out
Qi Huaiyi's face showed a hint of struggle, but he still took out thirty Medium Grade xuan stones.
When he handed them over, his face still showed a pained expression; there was nothing he could do, it would take him a long time to save up that much money.
However, thinking about how Yu Xun had said last time that all investigation fees could be reimbursed, Qi Huaiyi felt a little relieved.
Sabado's face broke into a wide smile after receiving the money, and he said, "Brother Qi, don't blame me, this information is too important, it's absolutely worth the money!"
"Hurry up and tell me! What is the connection between them?!" Qi Huaiyi urged, he was indeed a bit impatient.
Actually, Yu Xun had mentioned before that an investigation could be conducted through Prince Fu, so when he saw Prince Fu earlier, he remembered this and came in to find Sabado, to see if he could get any useful information from him.
Unexpectedly, there really was something, he just didn't know if this information was reliable or not…
However, given Sabado's reputation over the years, it should still be somewhat useful.
Sabado said, "Brother Qi can first compare the appearances of Prince Fu and Longyuan before we talk…"
"Those two? The difference is too great, isn't it?" Qi Huaiyi recalled carefully and couldn't help but say.
"Brother Qi, you're wrong! Don't be fooled by their physiques.
Although Prince Fu is obviously overweight, the proportions of his forehead, eyebrows, and facial features are practically carved from the same mold as Longyuan's!!!"
"Proportions? You mean…" Qi Huaiyi was startled.
"It's the distance between the facial features and the face, as well as their size, and so on.
Look closely again, if Prince Fu's face didn't have so much excess flesh, wouldn't he look like Longyuan?"
Sabado reminded him while casting a light projection.
In the light projection, Prince Fu's face constantly changed, going from fat to thin, gradually transforming into a very close resemblance to Longyuan…
"Oh?! It really is like that!!!" Qi Huaiyi exclaimed, his eyes lighting up.
Sabado said proudly, "This is just one aspect of their connection.
Also, do you know what I saw when I divined just now?"
"An anomaly?"
"Exactly! The anomaly I saw was the same as the one I saw when I divined last time, and I also saw that hexagram…"
"What hexagram?"
"The Dao of Heaven is robust, the star's fortune is profound, a gentleman should strive for self-improvement without cease!"
"What does that mean?"
"No matter what it means, this hexagram is the same as the one that appeared when Prince Fu divined before.
Don't you think there's a strong connection between them?" Sabado smiled.
"Is that so?!" Qi Huaiyi was completely shocked.
However, the hexagram Prince Fu obtained at the cost of one supreme-grade mysterious stone was actually known by himself.
Qi Huaiyi inexplicably felt a surge of pleasure.
Was this like getting something for free?
Although Qi Huaiyi didn't know how to analyze hexagrams, he had his own very intuitive and simple view: the character 'yuan' ( deep) in this hexagram was very obvious, a very prominent eye-catcher!!!
Since there was this character 'yuan', it meant that this hexagram was truly meant for Longyuan.
The result of Prince Fu's divination actually pointed to Longyuan, which showed that these two indeed had a connection.
If combined with his and Yu Xun's previous analysis, and the fact that their facial proportions were so similar, then who Longyuan truly was was almost obvious…
He thought for a moment and asked, "Tower Master, can I check again if Prince Fu had a concubine named Long sixteen years ago?"
Upon hearing this, Sabado casually took out a crystal ball.
He cast some Spell, and a spherical blue light curtain immediately appeared on the ball, with countless information flowing rapidly across it…
The information flow suddenly paused, displaying some information about Prince Fu.
Sabado carefully browsed and checked, then finally shook his head and said, "There's no information on that for now.
If there were, it would likely be kept as a secret by the Prince Fus Mansion.
However…"
"However what?!"
"Another piece of information was mentioned above…"
"What is it?!" Qi Huaiyi asked anxiously.
Sabado glanced at Qi Huaiyi, this poor commoner, and sighed inwardly, thinking that it would be hard to squeeze any more money out of him.
He simply said generously, "Eighteen years ago, Prince Fu once visited Fengyang County for leisure…"
"Woah woah woah!!!" Qi Huaiyi shouted excitedly, his eyes shining brightly.
It matches! The timing completely matches!
He just needed to check the information from Fengyang County back then to confirm it!
After getting this information, Qi Huaiyi impatiently called Geng Yun…
Seeing this, Longyuan couldn't help but shake his head…
The identity of his previous self, Zhu Deyuan, couldn't withstand scrutiny!
Even if he hid and endured in every way, as soon as he showed his face, he would immediately attract the attention of those with ulterior motives.
He was destined to be unable to truly achieve the 'great hidden in the city' state…
It seemed Qi Huaiyi was about to chase after him.
What would he do next?
Longyuan thought about it and felt that he would definitely discuss it with Yu Xun first.
Yu Xun was a righteous person and had not yet been found to be involved in factional struggles.
After all, the current Great Ming court was quite perilous.
Apart from the Grand Secretaries who had death-exemption talismans and dared to do so, other officials probably hadn't dared to openly take sides so early.
People of the Qi Family had always guarded the borders for the country, loyal and righteous beyond compare.
It was unlikely that Qi Huaiyi would use this information for personal gain.
Therefore, after they obtained this information, they should maintain a secret observation, at most informing their own Family members, but not reporting to other princes.
That is to say, he should still be safe for now…
What about later?
It would be hard to say later, because these people's patience and actions had deadlines.
After this deadline, they would definitely take action, and what specific action they would take might depend on his performance at that time!
Why say that?
If he was as useless as Prince Fu, then in the eyes of people like Yu Xun and Qi Huaiyi, he would be worthless.
They might remain silent out of a desire to protect him, or they might turn around and sell this information to the prince who might obtain the position of Crown Prince, in which case his safety would be in question…
After all, they had paid such a high price to uncover his secret.
Only by achieving merit could they recover their costs, or earn more capital to speak in court.
There was nothing to criticize about this; even if they truly did so, Longyuan could completely understand.
Seeing Qi Huaiyi happily leave the Xuanji Tower, Longyuan concealed this light curtain and lit up another.
The person in this light curtain was Prince Fu.
He had already returned to the Prince Fus Mansion in Southern Yue City, but Longyuan chose to re-examine because he had seen it somewhat hastily during the selection camp.
At that time, he also had to prepare for surgery at Luo Family Hospital, and important matters must be reviewed several times to avoid overlooking some details, as this was related to a decision in Longyuan's heart…
