GUANYIN ORACLE LOT 28
Empress Li Seeks Bao Gong
The moon is covered, not gone. Wait for clarity before judging.
ORACLE VERSE
Translated verse
The moon rises in the east, bright and beautiful.
In a moment clouds cover it, and darkness remains.
At times it is full, and at times it is lacking.
Words of blame are only idle talk.
Original Chinese verse
东边月上正蝉娟，顷刻云遮亦暗存； 或有圆时还有缺，更言非者亦闲言。
ALLUSION

Bao Gong investigated the case, interrogated Guo Huai at night, found Empress Li, and revealed the truth.
