Traveling through another world to stir the emperor's heart

In the solemn and dignified imperial study of the Lan Kingdom Palace, the surroundings were quiet and the atmosphere was heavy.

Lan Xuanming was wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and sitting on the dragon throne that symbolized supremacy, holding in his hand a letter that had been carefully investigated by the secret guards.

His brows were slightly furrowed, his eyes were deep, and he stared at the words on the letter.

The letter clearly stated: A Yue had stayed in Beiyan for a whole year, and then she went to Xingli with a man.

And this man was none other than Pavilion Master Jun who entered the palace with her.

Thinking of the fact that the Pavilion Master had personally entered the palace to look for A Yue, Lan Xuanming was filled with doubts.

What is the relationship between Pavilion Master Jun and A Yue? Have they known each other for a long time?

But why didn’t A Yue tell him? Didn’t she believe him?

Is Ah Yue still hiding something from him? These questions flooded into Lan Xuanming's mind like a tide, and he couldn't help but feel heavy-hearted.

Just as he was lost in thought, Ah Fu's respectful voice came from outside the palace: "Your Majesty, the Imperial Preceptor wishes to see you."

Upon hearing this, Lan Xuanming quickly closed the letter and put it into his sleeve.

His expression changed, then he took a deep breath, regained his composure, and said in a deep voice, "Let him in."

A moment later, an old man with white hair and a kind face walked into the hall.

He saluted Lan Xuanming and said in a steady voice, "This old minister greets the king."

Lan Xuanming waved his hand, signaling him to stand up. "What brings you here today, my dear?"

The Imperial Preceptor stood up straight, his face solemn. "Your Majesty, the situation on the border has become critical recently. After careful consideration, I have come up with a plan."

A hint of interest flashed in Lan Xuanming's eyes, and he asked, "Oh? Tell me about it."

The Imperial Preceptor coughed lightly and continued, "During the reign of the late Emperor, there was an elite division called the 'Shadow', which was invincible. If we could mobilize this army to attack the border, we would surely be able to turn the tide of the war."

Lan Xuanming raised his eyebrows and replied with a hint of displeasure, "My dear, you should know that 'Shadow' is a relic given to my elder sister by the late emperor and is not under my jurisdiction. What is your intention in making this proposal?"

The Imperial Preceptor quickly bowed and explained, "Your Majesty, please calm down. I mean no offense. The Lan Kingdom is facing a huge threat. As the ruler of a nation, what is yours?"

You should be in control of everything. The eldest princess has long been dead, and her only daughter is missing.

Now we should put the country first and resolve the current crisis as soon as possible.

If Shadow goes out to fight, the border war will be quickly quelled.

Lan Xuanming was silent for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Although what you say makes sense, 'Shadow' is, after all, an item left to my elder sister by my father. How can I use it so easily?"

Furthermore, while the border conflict is urgent, the general is currently commanding the front lines, so there's no need to deploy the power of shadows for the time being. If there are no other important matters, please withdraw, my dear.

After hearing this, the Imperial Master was displeased, but he still bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty, I will take my leave."

He turned and left, muttering under his breath, "This brat is really making me mad! If I didn't know Shadow's location, why would I have to look for him in person?"

"Really? Should the shadow belong to me too?" Lan Xuanming muttered to himself as he looked at the Imperial Master's back.

Not long after, the imperial teacher returned to the palace.

As soon as he entered the door, Liu Xuer came up to him and asked with concern, "Father, what's wrong with you? What happened at the court this morning? Why are you so angry?"

The Imperial Master's face was still brimming with anger. "Don't even mention it! That brat is truly despicable! I threatened him with the border war, yet he refused to send the Shadow troops."

Liu Xu'er rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Don't worry, Father. Doesn't the leader still have the jade pendant in his hand? If the time comes, just show him the jade pendant, and Shadow will surely obey your orders."

The Imperial Master frowned slightly. "That being said, the leader once said that we must first confirm the location of the shadow before taking any action."

Liu Xuer smiled slightly, with a cunning glint in her eyes: "Father, you might as well think about it again. What will happen to the king if something happens to the goddess?" There was something meaningful in her eyes.

The Imperial Master hesitated slightly: "Is this...is this method feasible?"

Liu Xuer patted her chest confidently: "Don't worry, father, I understand the king's character. If anything happens to the goddess, the king will definitely send out the shadow." There was a confident smile in her words.

The Imperial Master looked at his daughter's smile and was stunned for a moment. Suddenly, he felt something was wrong and asked with concern, "Xu'er, what's wrong today? Why do you look different?"

Liu Xu'er immediately stopped smiling and said coquettishly, "Father, I just thought of something interesting."

After saying that, she turned lightly, her skirt swaying gently with her steps, and walked towards the door gracefully.

The Imperial Master was still immersed in his thoughts, and it took a long time for him to come back to his senses. He looked at Liu Xu'er's back and thought to himself, "Why is Xu'er so different today?"

Meanwhile, in another room, two deep voices were talking.

"How's it going?" one of the deep voices asked.

"Are you still not confident in my ability to do things?" another voice answered confidently.

"What was the goddess's expression at that time?" the low voice continued to ask.

"Hehe, it was so exciting! Especially when she saw five or six grown men suddenly burst in, her expression was so hilarious."

If you saw it with your own eyes, you would definitely laugh out loud, the previous voice described it with a smug tone.

"Haha, you still understand my thoughts best." The low voice laughed with satisfaction.

"In that case, shouldn't you fulfill your promise to me?" The other party took the opportunity to make a request.

"What's the rush?" A deep voice replied in a calm tone.

"Wait for me here tonight."

"Okay, I'll wait here. You must come tonight." The other party said softly.

Only light footsteps were heard, followed by the sound of the door closing. The woman had quietly left.

After she walked out of the room, she had a mocking smile on her face: "Even a toad wants to eat swan meat."

And at this time on the vast grassland.

A team is marching slowly across this vast grassland. The sound of horse hooves and wheels rolling are intertwined to form a unique melody.

Inside the luxurious carriage, the atmosphere was somewhat tense.

Feng Qingyue opened her beautiful eyes wide and glared fiercely at Jun Lingyuan opposite her, with flames of anger burning in her eyes.

"Okay, Qingyue, aren't you tired of staring at me like this all the way? Why don't you take a break? Don't worry, I won't run away." Jun Lingyuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a half-smile.

"Get out! You liar!" Feng Qingyue roared angrily.

"I clearly told you last night, but you didn't listen. You insisted on pestering me and even threatened me that if I didn't satisfy you, you would find another man." Jun Lingyuan explained with an innocent look on his face.

"Nonsense! I didn't hear you say anything last night!" Feng Qingyue's face turned red with anger.

"I really said it. If you don't believe me, I can swear to heaven." Jun Lingyuan raised his right hand and pretended to swear.

"Hmph!" Feng Qingyue snorted coldly, turned her head abruptly, no longer looking at him, and looked at the scenery outside the car window, with mixed feelings in her heart.

Seeing that Feng Qingyue was still angry, Jun Lingyuan sighed softly, then stood up, walked to her side, and held her in his arms.

"Okay, don't be angry." Jun Lingyuan said softly.

"Go away!" Feng Qingyue struggled to push him away, but Jun Lingyuan held her tightly and refused to let go.

"I won't leave. I want you to hold me." Jun Lingyuan said in a naughty manner.
