Origin System, I have a barren mountain

The first time Cheng Yunmo saw the Emperor in person, he was reclining in a chair, his eyes open, but he looked very unwell.

So, on a whim, she brought out a meal she had prepared herself for the Emperor on the spot.

I was originally planning to save the lunch for myself, but now I'm bringing it out for him.

Liang Yu never imagined that he would feel it was worth a try when faced with steaming hot food that he had never been able to eat before.

So he ate it.

It was a hard feeling to describe. The food was ordinary, but it felt like I was actually eating something. There seemed to be a subtle balance in the meal.

Having regained some of his energy, his gaze fell upon her face.

“You are the spirit of the desolate mountain; the people who serve me have mentioned you.”

Cheng Yunmo quickly bowed respectfully and brought up the matter of how he was not human and how his current body was not his own.

Cheng Yunmo originally thought that it was normal for the emperor to be somewhat disgusted and angry.

Surprisingly, the emperor was quite accepting of this matter.

"It doesn't matter what you are now. I just hope you can help me resolve the matter of the prime minister's son in Xicheng Kingdom."

Cheng Yunmo nodded, only realizing that she was gradually losing control of her body.

After all, half a day has already passed.

She was in a spirit form, and now her body was left in the palace, right in front of the emperor.

Cheng Yunmo felt that the head must have been left on the shoulder for too long.

Liang Yu was surprised that the body would suddenly collapse. He quickly came over and carefully helped the body up, only then realizing that the body already had a strong odor.

"..."

It was only at this moment that Cheng Yunmo noticed the distinct scent; he hadn't been able to smell it before.

Now that things have turned out this way, Cheng Yunmo is also quite embarrassed.

Liang Yu wanted to take Cheng Yunmo's body to the side hall, since it wouldn't be good if someone saw it.

He hesitated for a moment, then decided to do it himself.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Youzi, who had just come to relieve the Emperor, saw him preparing to support a person who looked dead. He was stunned for a moment, then quickly stepped forward to support the body, asking somewhat bewildered yet respectfully, "Your Majesty, this servant does not know where this person should be sent?"

Liang Yu said blankly, "Send the person to the side hall."

"Yes, I obey."

Xiao Youzi felt something was amiss, but she still followed the Emperor's orders and prepared to take the person to the side hall.

Although his expression was not particularly revealing, Liang Yu could still sense that Xiao Youzi's hair was visibly burnt.

Liang Yu did not go with them. When Xiao Youzi came out alone with the corpse, she ran into Consort Yu, who was about to see the Emperor.

Yufei's appearance surprised Xiaoyouzi a bit. He gave a simple bow and prepared to leave.

"stop."

With a hint of inquiry in her eyes, Yufei Liangyu stared intently at the person Xiaoyouzi was supporting.

Xiao Youzi dared not move, because although this Consort Yu was not of high rank, she shared the same surname as the Emperor, and since the Emperor's consort wanted him to stand, he, as a servant, could not disobey.

So he stood there obediently.

Yufei's expression changed slightly, but she didn't make things difficult for Xiaoyouzi anymore and let him leave.

"Your Highness, is there anything I can do for you?"

The Liang family was somewhat shocked to receive news from their daughter in the palace.

The reason the Liang family is living a relatively good life now is because of the power granted to them by the late emperor. The current emperor is someone they cannot understand.

Although the emperor often neglected court and sometimes didn't even seem like a normal person, the Liang family didn't dare to do anything about it.

Not long after, a pigeon flew out of the Liang family's house.

Inside a tavern in the city, Lord Liang sat in a private room, waiting anxiously. Then, a woman who was completely covered up came in.

In the palace, Lord Liang requested an audience with the Emperor.

Just as the Emperor was about to receive the guests, Consort Yu also arrived.

The head eunuch frowned slightly, sensing that something was amiss.

Consort Yu entered with a smile and said to the Emperor, "Your Majesty, please allow me to accompany you to see my father. I haven't seen him for a long time."

Liang Yu said blankly, "Okay."

Cheng Yunmo was standing not far away when he saw the emperor's concubine. He was even more surprised that this concubine, Yu Fei, seemed to be determined to see her own father. It gave him a feeling of coercing the emperor. How could he have such a misconception?

Just then, the emperor suddenly turned around and looked at the empty space around him.

Cheng Yunmo hesitated for a moment before approaching.

"Cheng Yunmo, is it? Come with me and let's go out and have a look."

They actually let her come along?

Cheng Yunmo felt something was off, so he followed.

Yu Fei seemed unfazed by this. Although she couldn't see anyone in the hall, the malice in her eyes was exceptionally clear.

Cheng Yunmo's heart skipped a beat, but he didn't say anything.

When the Emperor met Lord Liang, Lord Liang's gaze swept over his daughter's face before he said, "Your Majesty, great joy!"

"Why do you say that, my dear minister?"

Lord Liang gestured for the person outside to come in. The person who entered was a woman wearing a veil, dressed in a style that perfectly complemented her green attire.

The woman's every move was graceful, giving people a feeling of a gentle breeze. Everyone who passed by could feel the dampness in the breeze, which was just right.

"Your Majesty, I truly never expected to be so lucky as to meet Feng Yuyu's daughter, who also possesses the same abilities as her mother."

Lord Liang said excitedly.

Just then, Consort Yu invited Lord Liu in.

Lord Liu was puzzled as to why a mere concubine would address him, her subject.

Only when he heard Lord Liang mention Feng Yuyu's daughter did he realize that this was a trap.

"Lord Liu is really something. How could he bring the Desolate Mountain Spirit to the Emperor? It's said that the Desolate Mountain Spirit is a possessed monster. How could Lord Liu have the nerve to bring himself to do such a thing?"

Lord Liang's words revealed his dissatisfaction with Lord Liu.

At this moment, Lord Liu knew that unless Feng Yuyu's daughter was a fake, he would not gain anything today.

"Well, Lord Liang, it's certainly good that you brought Feng Yuyu's daughter with you, but the spirit of Huangshan is definitely not some possessed monster."

When Lord Liang heard Lord Liu still deny it, a look of disdain flashed in his eyes. He couldn't help but say, "What, Lord Liu, you dare to do it but not admit it? I have evidence!"

evidence?

Lord Liu was surprised, wondering what had gone wrong with the spirit of the desolate mountain.

"grown ups!"
