Traveling through another world to stir the emperor's heart

Feng Qingyue sat down gently, her eyes slightly gloomy, as if she was thinking about Lan Xuanming's words.

She raised her head and looked at Lan Xuanming with a determined gaze, "Ah Ming, there are many rumors about this shadow army."

Lan Xuanming frowned slightly, looking a little confused. "What do you mean...?"

Feng Qingyue said softly, "What I mean is, I want to go and see for myself whether Shadow is really as powerful as the rumors say."

She paused and continued, "After all, the Shadow Army has been sealed off for the past twenty years without any actual action."

"What's being said outside may not be accurate. What if they're already corrupted from within, or have lost their fighting capacity?"

Lan Xuanming frowned slightly, staring into the distance, as if he was thinking deeply about something.

After a moment, he said quietly, "You're right."

Then, he paused for a moment before continuing, "I'll take care of this matter. We'll go together tomorrow."

Hearing this, the two nodded in agreement.

For a moment, the courtyard fell silent again. None of the three spoke again, as if they were all immersed in their own thoughts.

At this moment, a loud announcement suddenly came from outside the door, completely breaking the silence.

A eunuch walked in quickly, bowed respectfully, and reported: "Your Majesty, the Madam of the Censor wishes to see you."

Upon hearing this, Lan Xuanming waved his hand gently, signaling the eunuch to leave, then turned to look at Feng Qingyue who was sitting beside him.

He said earnestly: "Ayue, he must not live in your palace. This is against etiquette." After saying this, he deliberately emphasized the tone.

After hearing this, Feng Qingyue first glanced at Jun Lingyuan beside her, then nodded slowly, indicating that she understood Lan Xuanming's meaning.

Jun Lingyuan, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.

He looked at Lan Xuanming expressionlessly and said calmly, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for arranging a place for me to stay."

Although his words sounded very polite, his eyes always revealed an elusive depth.

Lan Xuanming glared at Jun Lingyuan fiercely and said unhappily, "Master, please follow me!" Then he stood up and walked towards the door without looking back.

Lan Xuanming looked at Feng Qingyue and said, "Ayue, take a rest first. I'll be back soon."

Feng Qingyue nodded.

Lan Xuanming looked at her gently, then quickened his pace and left the room.

After Lan Xuanming left, Jun Lingyuan, who was originally standing there, did not leave immediately.

Instead, he stared at Feng Qingyue quietly with a strange smile on his face.

Feng Qingyue couldn't help but feel a little flustered.

Not long after, when Feng Qingyue was the only one left in the courtyard, she took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and decided to visit the empress dowager first.

So she straightened her clothes and walked towards the Queen Mother's bedroom.

……

"Pavilion Master, what is the relationship between you and A Yue?"

Lan Xuanming stared at Jun Lingyuan with his eyes wide open and anger on his face, as if his eyes were about to spit fire.

But Jun Lingyuan didn't care at all, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

He revealed an unconcealable smile, his face full of pride: "This is exactly the kind of relationship you, Your Majesty, have in mind!"

When he said this, he deliberately raised his eyebrows, as if showing off something to Lan Xuanming.

Hearing this, Lan Xuanming's face instantly turned ashen. He was so angry that his whole body was shaking. He pointed at Jun Lingyuan and roared:

"I didn't think so! Stop talking nonsense!"

Jun Lingyuan smiled lightly, and the smile became brighter and brighter, as if he didn't take Lan Xuanming's anger seriously at all.

"Really? Then what does the king think of our relationship?" Jun Lingyuan asked softly, her beautiful eyes staring at Lan Xuanming in front of her, with a hint of doubt and expectation in her eyes.

Lan Xuanming was slightly startled and opened his lips slightly: "You..." However, when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to continue.

At this moment, Lan Xuanming looked at his father-in-law Afu beside him with a gloomy expression.

He said angrily, "Afu, take him to Hening Palace!" Before he finished speaking, he walked forward angrily, leaving the two of them looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Okay, Your Majesty." Ah Fu responded quickly.

He turned around and made a gesture of invitation to Jun Lingyuan, and said respectfully: "Master, please follow me." As he said that, Ah Fu took Jun Lingyuan towards the Hening Palace.

After Lan Xuanming and his group walked away and left the Goddess Palace, they saw a figure slowly walking out from the side of the palace.

The person was wearing a blue long dress, with a graceful figure and a pretty face.

She raised the corner of her mouth slightly and said to the maid who was following closely behind her: "Lan'er, let's go back to the mansion."

The maid looked puzzled and asked quickly, "Miss, weren't we going to visit the goddess? Why are you going back so suddenly?"

The woman chuckled, a cunning look flashed in her eyes, and she whispered, "No, I won't go. I've gained a lot of information here today." After that, she turned around and left.

He took light steps and walked out of the palace.

Seeing this, the maid hurriedly followed, and the master and servant soon disappeared at the end of the Goddess Palace.

.........

Cining Palace

"Empress Dowager, the goddess is here!" A palace maid ran in hurriedly and reported the news to the Empress Dowager who was resting on a recliner with joy on her face.

Hearing the maid's words, the Queen Mother suddenly opened her eyes, a look of surprise on her face: "A Yue is here? Come in quickly!"

As she spoke, she quickly stood up from the recliner, but because she stood up too quickly, her body couldn't help but sway.

Seeing this, several palace maids nearby hurried forward to support the empress dowager and carefully helped her walk out.

After a while, a graceful figure slowly walked towards them. It was Feng Qingyue who had not been seen for a long time.

She was wearing a simple white long dress, the hem of which fluttered gently in the wind.

Walking up to the Queen Mother, Feng Qingyue knelt slightly and saluted, saying softly, "A Yue greets the Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother quickly reached out and helped Feng Qingyue up, her eyes full of kindness: "Get up, get up, my good child, you finally come to visit me, an old woman!" As she spoke, the Queen Mother actually sighed somewhat sadly.

Feng Qingyue quickly comforted her, "Don't be sad, Queen Mother. Ah Yue has been praying in the palace all this time, so she hasn't been able to come and see you. Please forgive me, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother waved her hands and scolded, "Oh, it's all that brat's fault. He insisted that you concentrate on praying for blessings and stay in the palace to see no one. Even when I wanted to visit you, he refused to agree."

Feng Qingyue smiled slightly, took the Queen Mother's hand, and said softly, "Queen Mother, Ah Yue came to visit you as soon as she came out of confinement."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother felt much better and nodded repeatedly, saying, "Okay, okay, Ah Yue still understands my heart the best."

"By the way, was it very tiring to pray this time?" His words were full of concern.

Feng Qingyue replied with a serious face, "Being able to pray for the people of the world is Ah Yue's honor and blessing. How could I feel it was hard work?"
