The Taoist priest saluted the prince and said in a deep voice: “Looking at your facial features, this poor Taoist can see that the dark qi in the hall is lingering on youI am afraid that your future for the next year will be unpredictable—”

Before he could finish his words, the prince’s entourage could not help but yell out: “Presunified prince, the crown prince of the country, how could the future be gloomy? You are so ridiculous, don’t you want to keep your head?”

As if the Taoist priest didn’t hear hiht at the prince and went on to say: “This poor Taoist is willing to help His Royal Highness solve the immediate crisis”
