The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Two more peaceful days passed.

The entire manor is adorned with flowers and brimming with life.

All the flowers belong to Murong Jiu.

This little princess doesn't like practicing martial arts, but she has a special fondness for growing flowers.

Ji Bingyan followed behind Murong Jiu, helping to water the flowers.

The two princesses have been chatting together quite a bit these past few days, and they seem to be getting along quite well.

Of course, all of this is thanks to Jia Daoshi.

Jia Daoshi, who had just gotten up, was about to go forward to help when Jia Bing suddenly rushed over.

"Master, there is a woman outside who claims to be from the Imperial City Guard. She is with a group of people and says she wants to see you!"

Jia Daoshi was taken aback: "People from the Imperial City Guard?"

After speaking, Jia Daoshi pondered for a moment and then said, "Alright, bring them in."

"Good Le!"

Jia Bing immediately turned and left.

“The people from the Imperial City Guard are most likely Meng Geluo and Tong Huang.” Jia Daoshi stroked his chin.

The Imperial City Guard consists of eight offices, and since Jia Daoshi turned against the court, no one from the Imperial City Guard has made a statement.

This is normal. The original purpose of establishing the Imperial City Guard was to consolidate the royal power. The entire Imperial City Guard was a sharp knife in the hands of the royal family.

It's clearly impossible to rebel as readily as Jia Daoshi did.

The Imperial City Guard's arrival this time is most likely because they brought what they wanted, hoping to ease the tension between themselves and the Empress.

Thinking of this, Jia Daoshi walked to Ji Bingyan's side: "The Empress has sent people; they must be here to deliver the dowry."

Ji Bingyan had just heard Jia Bing's words, and with her intelligence, she naturally guessed some of the clues.

Although she had been looking forward to this day, when it actually arrived, she suddenly felt a little disappointed for no apparent reason.

With Jia Daoshi receiving these dowries, it meant she was free!

But is this kind of freedom truly freedom?

Is this really what she wants?

The thought of leaving soon made her gaze involuntarily fall on Jia Daoshi!

Seeing Ji Bingyan's expression, Jia Daoshi simply smiled.

He was all too familiar with that look; he had seen it in both Di Qinglin and Weng Changting.

First, they were hostile towards him, and then what?

Jia Daoshi didn't think too much about these things.

Soon, Jia Bing walked in with two beautiful women, one tall and one short.

As Jia Daoshi had predicted, the visitors were indeed Mongoloid and the Child Emperor.

Since they were old acquaintances, there was no need for formalities.

This time, the Empress sought out the two of them to act as mediators.

After all, the relationship between the two sides had become somewhat strained due to previous events.

Of course, Jia Daoshi also had a temper.

"Jatis!"

"Greetings, Justus!"

Upon seeing Jia Daoshi, both Mongolo and the Child Emperor bowed in greeting.

"Chief Inspector Meng, Chief Inspector Tong, it's been a long time."

Jia Daoshi clasped his hands in a fist salute.

Jia Daoshi had a fairly good impression of these two beauties, after all, they had been through life and death together.

Both Meng Geluo and Tong Huang greatly admired Jia Daoshi.

As for the feud between the Empress and Jia Daoshi, that was a matter for the court, and had nothing to do with them.

"Lord Jia, we are here mainly to deliver some things to the Empress. The Empress said that there were many misunderstandings before, so please don't take them to heart, Lord Jia."

Without any unnecessary formalities, Meng Geluo got straight to the point.

Then he took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Jia Daoshi with both hands.

Jia Daoshi nodded. Since Ji Wuxin had already made his choice, he wouldn't pursue him relentlessly.

He casually opened the envelope, took out the letter, glanced at it, and then his expression turned somewhat surprised.

Everything listed here is exactly what he originally proposed.

However, there are many more besides these.

These are all rare and precious natural treasures, and they are quite old!

The minimum is 500 years!

For example, a thousand-year-old ginseng fruit.

There are also lotus seeds that are two thousand years old!

There were even jujubes!

When Jia Daoshi saw the words "fire dates," he was completely stunned.

Does such a thing really exist in this world?

According to Jia Daoshi's memory, these fire dates appeared in the Investiture of the Gods, which states, "The fire dates and the nectar are of extraordinary origin; Ma Zhong should be able to be reduced to dust." This means that after eating the fire dates, one can ascend to immortality.

However, this is just a legend. If eating it could really make one an immortal, the members of the Great Jing royal family would have eaten it long ago. How could it be my turn?

However, that's not the key issue!

What is the empress trying to do by giving so many good things?

Jia Daoshi frowned as he looked at the letter in his hand.

Seeing this, Meng Geluo asked with some confusion:

"Jatis, could there be discrepancies in the items on this list?"

Jia Daoshi shook his head: "I received everything I asked for. In fact, the Empress gave me quite a few extra good things."

"You gave us quite a few good things?" Upon hearing this, Meng Geluo felt relieved and smiled, "That's wonderful."

You're quite right.

Jia Daoshi nodded. Given the current situation, the Empress had no reason to harm him.

If I don't take the things on the list, I might as well.

It's perfect for cultivation.

Because he discovered that his Dragon Elephant Divine Skill seemed to have reached a bottleneck.

"Jatis, the things are all in the carriage outside. Just have someone bring them in," the Child Emperor said with a smile.

Jia Daoshi nodded, and then instructed Jia Bing to go out and bring in the carriage.

In order to vent his anger, Jia Daoshi made an outrageous demand, ripping off the Empress!

The Empress was not stingy at all and sent the gifts over directly.

After the carriage was brought in, Jia Daoshi began to take inventory.

What he urgently needs now is the rare and precious materials that can be used to refine the Three Elements Taiyi Pill.

They have the Five Lingzhi Mushrooms and the Mysterious Essence Stone; now they're all here!

As for the jujubes, he hadn't yet figured out how to use them.

Perhaps it can be eaten directly.

"Jatis, is there something wrong with the items?"

From beginning to end, Meng Geluo and Tong Huang stayed by Jia Daoshi's side.

“No problem.” Jia Daoshi nodded. “Chief Meng and Chief Tong, thank you for your hard work on this trip. Let’s have a simple meal before you leave.”

"Jatis is too kind, I'll gladly accept!" Meng Geluo said with a smile.

In fact, she was also very interested in this legendary manor and couldn't wait to stay and visit it more.

"Jia Bing, give the order to prepare a grand feast for lunch today!" Jia Daoshi laughed heartily.

Soon, the lively lunch came to an end.

Jia Daoshi looked at Ji Bingyan and said, "Your Highness, now that His Majesty has delivered everything I requested, you may leave."

Jia Daoshi's gaze fell on Ji Bingyan, and he said with a smile.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jia Daoshi released the acupoints on Ji Bingyan's body with a few fingers held in the air.

"boom!"

Ji Bingyan felt her true energy surge, and she instantly regained her previous cultivation level.
