After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

Surprisingly, the old lady did not accept the Rejuvenation Pill. She said calmly, "I know my son's intentions, but I have no more ties. This pill was hard to come by, so you should keep it for yourself."

"Mother, I am the current Holy Emperor. I will have other opportunities to obtain medicinal herbs in the future. This one won't make a difference. Please take it."

"I do not want."

After the death of the Prince of Zhenbei, the old lady had the will to die. However, since her son had not yet achieved immortal feats, she could not leave like that. Now that her son has become the Holy Emperor, she has no worries and is no longer willing to regain her youth.

Seeing her stubbornness, Chen Futu became anxious and urged, "Mother, look at my master. She is about your age, but much younger than you. If you take this pill and regain your appearance, she will be furious."

The old lady and Qingyi had never gotten along, and Chen Futu was just grasping at straws in his desperation.

The old lady said irritably, "I'm too lazy to argue with her. Besides, we just don't get along, we're not enemies. Your attempts to sow discord won't work."

"No, don't you want to see Changsheng grow up and get married? And don't forget, Zhensu is due to give birth in a few months, and I need you to help me take care of the baby."

Chen Futu made a decision: if his mother refused to take the medicine, he would secretly put it in her bowl and give it to her to extend her lifespan.

People in ancient times generally had short lifespans. I'm only in my early forties now, but fifty was considered a long life in ancient times. Unless you're a highly accomplished cultivator, it's hard to live past a hundred. But if an ordinary person takes this medicine, living to a hundred won't be a problem.

Qin Liangyu and Li Xiuning rushed over upon hearing the news. The two daughters-in-law persuaded the old lady, who hesitantly accepted the pills but refused to take them.

Just then, Qingyi suddenly arrived at the door.

Chen Futu glanced at her and thought, "Good heavens, she's already reached the Cloud-Piercing Realm after half a year of seclusion. It seems she's gained quite a bit of good fortune in Baiyujing."

"My disciple, how could you forget your master when you have something good?"

In a flash, the woman in green snatched the pill from the old lady's hand.

The old lady said angrily, "What are you doing!"

"What are you doing? What woman would complain about being too young? Such a wonderful thing is priceless. If you don't want it, it's naturally mine."

The woman in green was definitely doing it on purpose; she held the pill with great enthusiasm, making a gesture as if she was about to swallow it.

Chen Futu, Qin Liangyu, and Li Xiuning knew about her childlike nature, so they didn't point it out, but just pretended to be anxious.

The old lady immediately stepped forward to snatch it, but the woman in green turned around and dodged, saying sarcastically, "Oh my, this must be the legendary Youth-Rejuvenating Pill. If I were to take it, I would be at least ten years younger, returning to my youthful days. I can't wait to try it."

"Qingyi! Have you no shame? That was prepared for me by my son!"

"I'm practically a mother to you, so what? Too bad you can't beat me, and you can't take me away."

Qingyi's playful nature was aroused.

Chen Futu shook his head helplessly, beckoned his two wives to go out, and told them to let them make a fuss. Maybe if Qingyi made such a fuss, his mother would be willing to eat.

Leaving the inner palace, Li Xiuning muttered to herself, "Could Qingyi really have been eaten?"

"No, she did it on purpose." Qin Liangyu knew Qingyi well; that woman was a prime example of someone who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside. Who knew if she would stuff the pill into the old lady's mouth the next second.

Just then, a wicked laugh came from inside the room, "How is it? Not bad, right?"

"You bastard!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, you can't make a decision, so I'll make it for you. You're getting the benefit and then acting innocent."

Qin Liangyu guessed correctly; the old lady was indeed suddenly forced to swallow the medicine by the maid in green.

Chen Futu and his two wives waited outside the door with great curiosity. After a while, Chen Yuling also ran over and whispered, "Brother, what's going on? Has Mom eaten?"

"Who knows."

Chen Futu was unsure of what to do when, just then, Qingyi suddenly opened the door and pulled out a woman in her early twenties.

This is the old lady, no…

She should be considered the Empress Dowager of this dynasty, and also the youngest Empress Dowager in history.

"mother?"

Chen Futu and Chen Yuling stared in astonishment at the young woman. Their mother, who had taken the Rejuvenation Pill, looked more than twenty years younger. If it weren't for the resemblance between the two siblings, they wouldn't have recognized her.

"Let me introduce you. This is the Empress Dowager of this dynasty, Consort Yun."

The woman in green held onto Yun Ji's hand smugly, refusing to let go. Yun Ji glared at her and forcefully pulled her hand back, saying, "Shut up!"

"I knew you were being hypocritical, getting a good deal and then acting all innocent. You look so much younger all of a sudden. If it weren't for my age-preserving skills, I wouldn't have given it to you."

Qingyi spoke sarcastically, but everyone could see that she was very happy. After all, in Daxia, only the Empress Dowager would dare to point her finger and call her a little slut. The two of them had lived together and fought for the same man. It would be a lie to say that there were no feelings between them. Otherwise, Qingyi would have killed him long ago. Now that the Prince of Zhenbei is dead, the relationship between the two of them is becoming more and more unfathomable.

Even when the two stood together, Chen Futu had a particularly strange feeling, as if Qingyi had ulterior motives towards her.

"Wow, Mom, you look so young and beautiful!"

Chen Yuling excitedly pounced on her. To be honest, she and her mother looked a bit like sisters now, but there was no comparison in terms of temperament. Chen Yuling was just a little kid who never grew up.

Yun Ji's temperament is similar to Qin Liangyu's; she is a heroine on the battlefield, and every look in her eyes is extremely dignified.

Qin Liangyu and Li Xiuning also went up to her, praising the old woman's appearance and temperament. Chen Futu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quietly withdrew from the harem.

Before leaving, Chen Futu instructed Qin Liangyu to hold an opening banquet to celebrate with everyone, and it would be best if his mother could enter Baiyujing to cultivate. Now that she has regained her former glory, her vitality should be no weaker than Qingyi's!

"System, do you have any pills that specifically enhance a person's cultivation level?"

[Yes, please spend points to draw from the card pool.]

The system is still obsessed with money, but Chen Futu really plans to save up some more points to try and get it from the card pool. If she can get it, it would be quite interesting to watch her fight against Qingyi in the future.

Moreover, even if I am no longer in the dynasty, I can rest assured that my mother will be in charge.

While Chen Futu was enjoying the revelry, the three people he had transformed into had already arrived near the Ten Thousand Mountains in Southern Xinjiang.

"Your Majesty, isn't my Southern Frontier doing quite well?"

Yan Xiaoxiao proudly introduced the local customs and culture along the way in southern Xinjiang, unaware that the person in front of her was just an avatar.

Chen Futu said, "It's somewhat different from the Central Plains, which makes it a unique experience."

Southern Xinjiang is mountainous, with endless undulations. Along the way, you can see many strange plants and flowers, and even the animals that roam through the forest are quite peculiar.

Inviting the Moon, she asked, "When will we arrive at your tribe?"

"We're almost there. The next town is Bailing. You're so beautiful, so be careful. Someone might have bad intentions towards you and try to poison you."

Yan Xiaoxiao was not exaggerating. Southern Xinjiang is known for its witchcraft and sorcery, and it is a melting pot of all sorts of people, including many despicable individuals. People from the Central Plains know this, so very few girls come to Southern Xinjiang alone. Even if they do, it's like throwing good money after bad, let alone a beautiful fairy like her.

Upon hearing this, Yaoyue sneered three times, "Trying to take advantage of me? I'll show them what hell on earth is like."

These words sent a chill down Chen Futu's spine. This woman was a female demon, with a heart of stone, even more ruthless than Dongfang Bubai. If he fell into her hands, he would probably have a hard time dying.
