Traveling through another world to stir the emperor's heart

With Jiang Tianhao's departure, the ministers in the banquet hall began to leave one after another.

After a while, the originally bustling banquet hall gradually became deserted, and in the end only Feng Qingyue, the Saint, and their entourage were left.

"It seems that the Saint Lady's entry into the palace today is not just to become a concubine!"

Feng Qingyue's mouth corners slightly raised, revealing an evil smile, and her eyes looked directly at the fake saint in front of her without any hesitation.

Faced with Feng Qingyue's direct questioning, the fake saint seemed unusually calm.

She responded calmly, "Miss, please don't speak nonsense about what I am doing."

As she spoke, her eyes were as calm as water, staring straight at Feng Qingyue, as if she wanted to prove her innocence.

However, how could Feng Qingyue be easily fooled by her appearance?

She only chuckled and continued to ask, "Oh? If that's the case, then why is there one less guard beside the Saint?"

After hearing this, the fake saint hesitated for a moment before answering, "He was only responsible for escorting me into the palace. After I arrived safely, he naturally left on his own."

Hearing this, Feng Qingyue couldn't help but raise an eyebrow and said with a hint of sarcasm: "Oh, this really is free to come and go!"

Not long after, the emperor hurried back to the banquet hall with a look of anxiety on his face.

He walked straight up to Feng Qingyue and Jun Lingyuan, bowed slightly, and said in a very respectful tone: "Miss An, Pavilion Master Jun, please come with me for a while."

After saying that, he turned his gaze towards the two of them, his eyes revealing a hint of expectation and anxiety.

Feng Qingyue was filled with confusion at this moment. She couldn't help but wonder, "What on earth did that maid just present on the note? Why is the Emperor so anxious?"

At this moment, the emperor suddenly turned to look at the fake saint sitting beside him. His face darkened and he shouted sternly, "Come here! Capture her and bring her over!"

Following the emperor's order, a group of armored guards rushed in from outside the door like a tide, and instantly surrounded the fake saint and the two guards beside her.

Upon seeing this, one of the guards quickly stepped forward, blocking the fake saint and loudly demanding, "Your Majesty, what exactly do you mean by this?"

However, facing the guards' questioning, the emperor simply snorted and replied coldly: "Humph! What do you mean? Don't you know it in your heart?"

"Weren't you the ones who took the princess away? Who else could have easily bypassed those layers of heavily guarded guards?"

Feng Qingyue sighed inwardly, "He truly is worthy of being the ruler of a country!"

At this moment, Jiang Tianhao's face was gloomy. He stared at the guard in front of him with a sharp gaze and said coldly: "Evidence? Humph, you will find it in a moment!"

Upon hearing this, the guards' faces suddenly changed, but they still forced themselves to remain calm and argued, "Your Majesty, you cannot slander us without reason! Without solid evidence, this would be a great injustice to us!"

However, the emperor remained unmoved and simply waved his hand to signal the guards to take action.

At the command, many guards quickly stepped forward and surrounded the three men.

At this moment, the fake saint hurriedly looked at the two guards beside her and shouted, "Li Mu, get out of the way! They don't dare to do anything to us now!"

The fake saint thought to herself that fighting against them here was like hitting a rock with an egg. If they were outside in an open area, with the martial arts of Li Mu and the others, they might still be able to fight.

But now he is surrounded and facing a well-trained guard that is several times his size. Any resistance may result in death. There is really no need to make such a meaningless sacrifice.

Then, the fake saint turned to face the emperor and said sincerely, "Your Majesty, please allow me to go with you to rescue the princess! This was entirely my own doing and has nothing to do with them. I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and not implicate innocent people."

After saying that, the two guards also shouted in unison: "Saint..." Their voices were full of worry.

But the fake saint did not respond to them, but just stared at the emperor silently, waiting for his decision.

Finally, after a brief moment of thought, the emperor gave the order to the imperial guards: "Take them along!"

So, under the escort of the Royal Guards, everyone headed towards the direction where the princess disappeared.

"Who are you? Why are you trying to capture me? How dare you trespass into my father's bedroom?"

Princess Huayue widened her eyes, looked at the mysterious man in front of her with anger, and asked in a delicate voice.

The man had a gentle expression on his face and whispered soothingly, "Don't be afraid, Princess. I'm not a bad person. To be honest, I'm a close friend of your mother. I came here just to see her."

As he spoke, the man's gaze slowly shifted away from Hua Yue and looked into the distance, as if the person he was talking about was standing there.

"Nonsense! My mother has been dead for many years. How can you see her?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Yue became even more suspicious and raised her voice to question.

Hearing this, the man was slightly startled, and then he murmured to himself in a low voice: "Yes... She is no longer alive!"

"Stop playing tricks here! Let me go immediately, or my father will find you and make sure you're dead without a burial place!"

Hua Yue struggled to break free from the restraints, but to no avail, and could only shout at the man angrily.

However, facing Hua Yue's threat, the man only raised the corners of his mouth slightly, revealing a disdainful smile, and said:

"Oh? Really? Then I will wait here for your father to come." After saying that, he turned around and walked towards the door.

"Come back here! Let me go immediately!" Hua Yue shouted anxiously, but the man didn't even turn his head and disappeared at the door in the blink of an eye.
