"How is this possible!" The steward of the Xu family stared at the sky, his face pale.
At dawn, an unusual phenomenon appeared in the skies above the capital. A bright comet suddenly flashed in the Tian Shiyuan, reminiscent of what Xu Shu had seen twenty years ago.
In the Qintian Observatory, Liu Ying was recording the changes in the stars. She knew that the appearance of this phenomenon was no coincidence.
"Miss!" A Fu rushed over, "The the Zhang Family has sent a message. They say that people from the Xu family are secretly mobilizing in the South City."
Liu Ying put down her pen. "Do you know what they are planning?"
"I heard they are transporting a batch of medicinal materials, all raw ingredients for making Fragrant Cold Powder."
Just then, Wang Zhengdao strode over. "Master Liu, the Empress Dowager summons you to the palace immediately!"
Liu Ying's heart sank. At that moment, Luo Yunzhi ran in from outside. "Wait! The Empress has ordered Master Liu to go to Kun Ning Palace for a meeting at once!"
Wang Zhengdao's expression changed. "This..."
"Lord Wang," Liu Ying said calmly, "which order should I heed first—the Empress Dowager's or the Empress's?"
At that moment, another unusual phenomenon occurred in the sky. The comet suddenly split into two—one bright and one dark—like the interplay of yin and yang.
"This is bad!" Wang Zhengdao exclaimed in shock. "This means..."
Liu Ying's gaze sharpened. "Tianshiying Xiao, Zi Wei moves. Twenty years is a cycle; today is the time of fulfillment."
"How do you know this prophecy?" Wang Zhengdao's face turned ashen.
"That's not all I know." Luo Yunzhi sneered, pulling out a secret letter from his sleeve. "Lord Wang, this is your correspondence with the Xu family. Should I take it to the Empress right now for her to review?"
Wang Zhengdao staggered back and turned to flee.
"Miss," A Fu whispered, "Lord Su sent word that Master Xu has already begun arranging personnel and is just waiting to net them."
Liu Ying nodded. "Send a message to the the Zhang Family —tonight we act."
"Wait!" Luo Yunzhi called out to her. "I heard in the palace that the Xu family has prepared two groups of people. One is openly targeting Master Xu, while the other..."
"Is targeting my father." A gentle voice interrupted as Su Jinzhi walked in, his expression grave. "They know that the Imperial Medical Institute holds evidence."
"So they have been making Fragrant Cold Powder..." Liu Ying realized suddenly.
"Not just that." Su Jinzhi lowered his voice. "I found out that the Xu family has also brought in a group of assassins from the south; it seems they are preparing to go all out."
"They want to..."
"Eliminate them." Su Jinzhi's expression darkened, "Just like twenty years ago."
Liu Ying tightened her grip on the Bronze Mirror. "We won't let them succeed." She glanced out the window. "Look, even the heavens are giving us a warning."
In the sky, two comets drew closer, their lights intertwining. In Astronomical Calculations, this phenomenon is referred to as "Tianshiying Xiao," a sign of impending change.
"Master Xu has arranged for support," Luo Yunzhi said. "The the Zhang Family's forces are also ready. We just need to wait..."
Before she could finish, hurried footsteps echoed from outside. A young servant rushed in, panic evident on his face. "It's bad! Minister of Rites lord Li has gone to the Empress Dowager's palace with the Imperial Inspector, claiming he needs to consult the Qintian Observatory!"
Everyone's expression changed drastically. Su Jinzhi exclaimed, "They’re trying to cut off our escape! Minister Li has always been close with the Xu family; this must be their trap."
"No." Liu Ying revealed a hint of a smile. "This is exactly the opportunity we've been waiting for." She turned to A Fu. "Go, fetch that secret letter."
"You mean…"
"The one left by Mr. Yu Ming." Liu Ying looked towards Tian Shiyuan. "Twenty years ago today, he hid a secret in Tianshi Market Camp Howl. And today is the day to unravel that secret."
"But what about the Xu family's people…" Luo Yunzhi expressed her concern.
"Don't worry." Liu Ying was confident. "The more anxious they are to deal with us, the easier it will be for them to slip up." She turned to Su Jinzhi. "What do you think?"
Su Jinzhi nodded. "I understand. I'll head to the Imperial Medical Institute and make arrangements."
"Remember," Liu Ying instructed, "everything must proceed according to plan. Since they've chosen today to act, we will show them that fate cannot be defied!"
At that moment, an unusual phenomenon occurred in the sky. The light of the two comets intertwined and transformed into a brilliant radiance, pointing directly towards Tianshi Market Camp Howl.
Man's calculations cannot match heaven's; this game is finally about to reveal its outcome.
