Chapter 889: Lu Liangwei Would Die Soon
After taking her time to finish the cup of tea, the old woman finally said, “I apologize. I was just too thirsty.”
Wanyan Luosang smiled. “No need to be so formal, Granny. If you like the tea, help yourself to more.” She picked up the teapot and poured another cup of fragrant tea for the woman.
The old woman held the cup in her hands, her fingers brushing it intently, but she did not continue drinking.
She gazed at Wanyan Luosang’s face with cloudy eyes, and it seemed as if she was trying to tell her fortune.
A while later, she withdrew her gaze and said enigmatically, “From your facial features, you’re a person of remarkable fortune, and you shall become the Empress of this kingdom in the future.”
Wanyan Luosang’s heart pounded so loudly it felt like it was bursting with joy, but she pretended to be shocked. “Don’t say such things so carelessly, Granny.”
The old woman let out a long sigh. “You don’t have to take my words seriously. You can just treat them as a joke.” Lowering her head, she moved her fingers calculatingly and murmured, “I’ve been doing this for decades, I can’t be wrong. This young lady is fated for royalty. She’s clearly the incarnation of a phoenix.”
Wanyan Luosang stared at her with wide eyes, her fists clenching nervously. This old woman said that she was the incarnation of a phoenix and that she would become the Empress. Did she mean…
“You seem frustrated for not being able to realize your dream. Are you facing some kind of trouble?” the old woman suddenly spoke, her eyes half-closed.
Wanyan Luosang’s chest tightened at her words. Recently, there was indeed one issue troubling her.
She was in love with the Emperor of Great Shang, but she did not know what to do.
It was because he already had someone he loved by his side.
She knew that she would never be able to replace Lu Liangwei, no matter what.
However, whenever she thought of the Emperor, she could not bring herself to give him up.
If only she had met him earlier – she was confident that she could make him fall in love with her.
Unfortunately, the Emperor had already married Lu Liangwei before meeting her.
Suppressing her mixed emotions, she looked at the old woman and said reverently, “To be honest, I am indeed troubled by one matter, and I have no idea how to resolve it.”
The old woman said kindly, “Fate brought us together today, so if it’s comfortable for you, you can go ahead and tell me your problems. Maybe I can help you.”
The old woman’s voice was far from pleasant, but at this moment, it sounded to Wanyan Luosang like her salvation from drowning.
After ordering her attendants to wait outside the door, she finally revealed all her concerns to the old woman.
“... The person I like is already married to a beautiful woman. I know I should forget about him, but he’s the best man I’ve ever met. Unfortunately, he loves his wife deeply and refuses to give anyone else a chance.”
The old woman cast her eyes downward and listened to her quietly, but there was an unnoticeable menacing glint in her eye.
A long moment after Wanyan Luosang had finished pouring her heart out, she finally raised her head and looked at her sympathetically.
“Poor, naive girl…”
Wanyan Luosang stared at her helplessly. “Please give me advice, Granny. What should I do?”
“Can you forget that person?” The old woman sighed, her tone woeful.
Wanyan Luosang shook her head, her expression miserable. “I tried, but I can’t.”
The old woman began to speak slowly, “From your facial features, I can tell that you were born to enjoy great blessing and fortune from the Heavens. In fact, you can relax. When the time comes, luck shall favor you. On the other hand, that man’s wife has poor luck and may not be able to receive his favor anymore. Besides, she has enjoyed too much fortune, which is causing her luck to drift away from her little by little. The only thing you lack, young lady, is an opening.”
Wanyan Luosang was stupefied.
Did the old woman mean that Lu Liangwei was going to die soon because she had used up her luck?
If Lu Liangwei died…
Her heart raced.
Even after the old woman was gone, Wanyan Luosang was still unable to collect herself. When her maidservant walked in and saw her sitting there in a daze, she could not help but worry. “Your Highness?”
Coming to her senses, Wanyan Luosang gripped the perfume satchel in her hands and replied, “I’m fine. Let’s go back.”
The maidservant followed her, and suddenly remembering something, said, “Your Highness, I find that old woman rather odd. I saw that her right sleeve was empty as if she didn’t have a right arm.”
