Chapter 773 Extending His Life
Master Tiancan was not interested in her thoughts.

Anyway, it is a foregone conclusion that the prince will sit on the throne now, and there is no need for him to argue so much with Gu Chan.

Bringing the topic back to the point, Master Tiancan sneered and said, “So, you have to save the Ninth Prince?”

“Yes, I promised all the princes and princesses who left Kyoto that I would protect his life and I would never break my promise.” Gu Chan said in a firm tone.

“Okay, I can agree to light the Seven Star Lamp to extend his life, but in return, you have to promise to do something for me.” Master Tiancan said with a wry smile.

Gu Chan frowned, feeling a sense of crisis in her heart.

Master Tiancan has always stood on the side of the Queen Mother and the Crown Prince. Now that he has seized the opportunity to deal with her, he will definitely not let it go easily. So in this situation, she really needs to be more cautious.

Thinking of this, Gu Chan said cautiously, “I can promise to do something for you, but first of all, it cannot violate the principles of heaven and morality, secondly, it cannot affect my family, and finally, it cannot endanger my life.”

“Don’t worry. I, the great Imperial Master of Tiancang Nation, am not despicable enough to use this matter against you. If I ask you to do this, you will definitely be able to do it.” Master Tiancan said solemnly.

Gu Chan stared at him and couldn’t help swallowing her saliva.

Master Tiancan said in a deep voice, “Aren’t you going to Diyue Kingdom to pick the magical herb Higanbana? Then I will let you take this opportunity to cause chaos in the royal family of Diyue Kingdom and make them fall apart. This will be of great help to the crown prince in destroying Diyue Kingdom after he ascends the throne.”

“No, I just don’t understand. You are such a powerful person, why do you have to help the prince?” Gu Chan said puzzledly.

With Master Tiancan’s strength, ability, and influence, he is completely capable of dominating a region. There is no need for him to stay in Kyoto and serve as the national teacher to assist the crown prince!

This really made Gu Chan confused.

Master Tiancan said expressionlessly, “You’re asking too many questions. Don’t ask questions that you shouldn’t ask. Just tell me whether you agree or not.”

“Okay, I promise you, but I can’t guarantee that it will succeed. I can only say that I will try my best to do it.” Gu Chan said with a frown.

“Then go back and bring the Ninth Prince here. I will light the Seven-Star Lamp to prolong his life in the Imperial Master’s Mansion.” Master Tiancan ordered.

Gu Chan spread her hands and said, “Can’t you just come with me to my house and light the Seven Star Lamp to prolong his life?”

“The yin energy in your house is too strong, far less than the yang energy in my house. Even if you light the Seven Star Lamp for him in your place, it can only extend his life for three months at most. But with me, it can at least extend his life for half a year. You think about it yourself!” said Master Tiancan with a sneer.

Gu Chan nodded helplessly and could only agree, then get up and leave.

Half an hour later, she, along with the three ladies and two guards, brought the unconscious Xuanyuan Qing to the Imperial Master’s Mansion and placed him in a relatively secluded courtyard in the back.

Just as they settled Xuanyuan Qing, a disciple drove them out of the yard and asked them to wait outside the gate.

After a while, Master Tiancan came over and said to Gu Chan, “Let your three wives take the people back to the palace! As for you, don’t stay here, go to the palace and give the imperial seal to the prince.”

“No rush! Just light up the Seven-Star Lamp for him first!” Gu Chan said unhappily.

“It’s up to you. If you want to wait, just wait outside. I’ll come out after I light the Seven-Star Lamp to extend his life.” said Master Tiancan.

Gu Chan glared at him and said, “Can’t I go in with you and take a look?” “That’s definitely not possible! Your mimicry skills are so powerful that you can even imitate the Thirteenth Princess’s soul-stealing skills. If I were to place the Seven Star Lamp in front of you and you were able to secretly imitate it, I would be in big trouble.” Master Tiancan also said with caution.

Gu Chan pouted and said, “What a stingy guy! He is the Grand Master of Tiancang Nation! He is not generous at all.”

“Stop talking nonsense. If you want to wait, just wait outside. If you don’t want to wait, just do as I say. Anyway, no matter what, when I light my Seven Star Lamp, it will definitely extend his life for at least half a year.” Master Tiancan shouted coldly.

After saying that, he left Gu Chan and the others behind, walked quickly into the courtyard, closed the door and locked it from the inside.

Gu Chan stood outside the door, clenching her fists in anger, wishing she could beat up this bastard.

Ouyang Wan’er whispered in her ear, “Husband, forget it, let’s just do what the Imperial Master said! We are still counting on him to extend the life of the Ninth Prince! You should think about how to ask the Crown Prince for a fiefdom!”

“Okay! Then you go back and pack your luggage first, and bring grandpa and grandma back from the princess’s mansion to wait for them.” Gu Chan instructed.

Ouyang Wan’er nodded solemnly.

Then the three of them, along with two guards, said goodbye to Gu Chan, quickly left the Imperial Master’s Mansion, and returned to Prince Chan’s Mansion to pack their luggage.

Gu Chan suppressed her depression and rushed to the palace alone.

When she arrived at the imperial study in the palace, it was already dusk in the afternoon.

At this time, Crown Prince Xuanyuan Long was having a drink with Crown Princess Yan Li in the imperial study. They were both in a very good mood and their faces were almost broken from smiling.

Seeing Gu Chan coming, Yan Li said sarcastically, “Hey! Isn’t this Prince Chan? What brings you here?”

“Yes! Have you eaten? Do you want an extra pair of bowl and chopsticks to eat together?” Xuanyuan Long also said with a strange smile.

Gu Chan walked up to the two of them and said coldly, “No need. Seeing that you are all full, why should I eat?”

“By the way, Prince Chan, I heard that you went to the Heavenly Prison to bring the Ninth Prince back to your palace. I wonder how he is doing now?” Yan Li asked in a pretentious manner.

Gu Chan clenched her fists in hatred and glared at her viciously, wishing she could kill this bitch.

It’s a pity that now that the situation has been determined, she no longer dares to act without considering the consequences as she did before.

Swallowing the anger, Gu Chan said calmly, “He is seriously injured and is dying, but I have asked the Imperial Master to light the Seven Star Lamp to extend his life. The Imperial Master said that it can at least extend his life for half a year.”

“That’s good! I hope you can think of a way to bring him back to life within the next six months.” Yan Li said with a sinister smile.

Gu Chan didn’t want to waste any more time talking to her, so she said directly to Xuanyuan Long, “Prince, I’m here to give you the Imperial Seal today.”

“I know you too well. You won’t give me the imperial seal so easily. Just tell me! What are your conditions? I will agree to you as long as I can do it.” Xuanyuan Long suppressed the smile on his face and said seriously.

He had dealt with Gu Chan a lot during this period, so he knew that Gu Chan would not give him the imperial seal so easily.
