Time Travel: Did My Sister-in-Law Get Slapped in the Face Today?

Even if His Majesty knew what he had done, he might not necessarily kill him...

Zhao Tanyue said helplessly, "He is engaged to Shangguan Xiaoxiao of the Taiyi Sect. Shangguan Xiaoxiao is a celestial being of the Taiyi Sect... Given His Majesty's obsession with the celestial path, he will not give up as long as there is a glimmer of hope. The celestial being engagement is his talisman."

Li Lanyi fell silent. Perhaps for the current Emperor Xianxian, as long as he could embark on the path of immortality and cultivation, he would even be willing to give up the entire empire...

For someone like Emperor Xianxian, the most luxurious wealth and power in the world had long become a daily routine he was tired of. After standing at the pinnacle of power for too long, he found no pleasure in eating dragon liver and phoenix gall, nor in having beautiful concubines. Becoming an immortal became a nightmare-like desire!

"Therefore, unless His Majesty is truly angry."

Li Lan said calmly, "The only things that can anger His Majesty are those related to immortals. If these people successfully reach the Qingtian Ceremony and cause some impact on it, then His Majesty... might really kill them."

"He would kill even his own son."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Tanyue's expression changed, and she said, "You mean, let them go to the Qingtian Grand Ceremony!?"

Li Lan nodded solemnly: "Yes."

"Let them go to the Qingtian Ceremony and arrest them in front of the Emperor. That way, we'll have a better chance of eliminating them completely."

Zhao Tanyue said, "But in that case, it would be much more dangerous."

Li Lan thought for a moment, "I've heard that the Secret Service has a special poison used to deal with martial arts masters. After the poison is administered, if one mobilizes their internal energy, the poison will take effect, causing them to almost lose all their martial arts skills?"

Zhao Tanyue's eyes lit up. "Indeed, there is. This medicine is called Nine Medicines Breaking Yuan Powder. It is a poison that His Majesty accidentally created when he was refining immortal medicine. However, the quantity of this medicine is extremely small... But it should be enough to deal with these people!"

……

The Imperial Palace, the Hall of Welcoming Immortals.

The Empress, dignified and graceful, entered the palace slowly.

"Has the Empress already composed a petition for me?"

Emperor Xianxian stood up, looking quite expectant.

Empress Xianyi of Dali was named Zhen Shu. Originally, she was just a talented woman in the palace, but she was quite talented and good at writing poems, which is why she has reached this position.

"Your Majesty, please take a look at this petition."

Empress Xianyi smiled slightly and handed over a memorial, which Emperor Xianxian immediately accepted and read carefully.

The more he read, the more delighted he became, nodding repeatedly. Even after finishing the memorial, he couldn't help but read it again and again. He closed the memorial and exclaimed with great joy, "Excellent, excellent! As expected of the Empress, she has won my heart! She has won my heart!"

"For such a grand ceremony as the Qing Tian Grand Ceremony, only the Empress's poem can be presented to the immortals!"

He burst into laughter, and his previously pale and listless expression regained some color, showing great joy!

The most important part of the Qingtian Grand Ceremony was this Qingci (a type of Buddhist prayer), but unfortunately, during this period, the Qingci written by many scholars and literati were either too narrow in scope, lacked thorough consideration, or were insufficient in talent... The general principle was that none of them could be used.

The Empress's article, however, is grand and magnificent, a rare find in literary style, and is perfectly suited for use!

"However, Your Majesty, this article is quite different from your usual writing style."

Emperor Xianxian smiled slightly.

Empress Xianyi smiled and said, "Your Majesty is wise, because this article was not written by me."

Emperor Xianxian was surprised and asked, "Then who made this?"

Empress Xianyi said, "This article was found by Tan Yue. According to her, the author is Li Lan, the son-in-law of the General of the State and the husband of Lin Ruoxue, a martial arts prodigy."

Li Lan!

A glint flashed in Emperor Xianxian's eyes: "That Li Lan, who wrote 'Spring River Flower Moon Night' and was also involved in the examination cheating case?"

Empress Xianyi nodded. "Judging from 'Spring River Flower Moon Night' and this poem, Li Lan is a man of extraordinary talent. I'm afraid there's more to the story behind the cheating scandal in the examination hall."

Emperor Xianxian was in a very good mood after receiving this wonderful article, and he was also somewhat relaxed, so he smiled and said, "Li Lan would never have cheated. I already knew that."
