Origin System, I have a barren mountain

"What's going on? It's like Lord Cheng's health has suddenly split in two, with one side being very serious and the other being relatively stable."

Physician Zhang said.

The expressions on everyone's faces were somewhat solemn, and the old lady of the Zhang family frowned and said, "It was caused by the portal to time and space."

Everyone's gaze turned to the old lady of the Zhang family, wondering why she had brought up the portal to time and space. They were all somewhat unfamiliar with the concept of a portal to time and space.

Physician Zhang knew absolutely nothing about the Gate of Time and Space, especially since he had just returned.

"Alas, son, I think the only way to find out the specifics about the Gate of Time is to find the Imperial Advisor."

The others looked at the old lady of the Zhang family with a surprised expression. Was the old lady of the Zhang family confused?

He knew perfectly well that the imperial advisor who accompanied the emperor had died when he was a child. How could he find a dead person?

The old lady of the Yu family thought of the national advisor from the time of the retired emperor. That national advisor had not appeared for a long time, and she wondered if the old lady of the Zhang family was referring to him.

“Mother, if you are referring to the Imperial Preceptor during the reign of the Emperor Emeritus, I advise you to stay away from him. He is not a kind person.”

Physician Zhang didn't realize at first who the Imperial Preceptor his mother was talking about was.

When he saw the look in the old lady's eyes, he suddenly realized that there was such a person, and he immediately interrupted to speak.

Although Zhenying was a palace maid and didn't know much, she had never actually seen the Imperial Preceptor during her long time in the palace.

However, the Imperial Advisor and the Empress Dowager had a very good relationship, but such a person would not agree unless there were enough benefits to sway him.

When the old lady from the Zhang family saw that everyone was looking at what she had just said, her face was full of opposition.

"You guys don't think this old woman is senile, do you?"

Zhenying's eyes lit up, realizing that Old Mrs. Zhang must have an idea.

"Grandma, you must find a way to save Lord Cheng. He can't stay unconscious like this, or he might never wake up again."

Zhenying said worriedly.

“Okay, I’ll give it a try,” said the old lady from the Zhang family.

Everyone present felt that the old lady of the Zhang family had no way to directly contact the Imperial Advisor, but they had no other good options at the moment.

The old lady of the Zhang family wrote a letter to someone. Not long after, the appearance of a mysterious figure left everyone speechless with astonishment.

The person who arrived was covered in a black veil, making it impossible to see his true appearance.

"Grandma Zhang, it's been so long! You haven't contacted me in all these years. Why did you suddenly remember me today?"

The appearance of the Imperial Advisor caused a particularly noticeable commotion in the surrounding area.

It was clear that the flowers, plants and trees around the Grand Preceptor were in full bloom, and there was even a scene of a gentle breeze blowing.

Everyone present was stunned by this unexpected scene.

Even the Imperial Advisor himself did not expect such a phenomenon to occur.

"Imperial Preceptor, you should not know that after the Emperor's Imperial Preceptor died, he entrusted me with a jade pendant and something else."

No one knew how the old lady of the Zhang family planned to get the Emperor Emeritus's Imperial Advisor to agree to help Lord Cheng, but unexpectedly, the old lady of the Zhang family mentioned something that the Emperor's Imperial Advisor had once entrusted to her.

Upon hearing this, Physician Zhang became anxious. If it was the Emperor's Imperial Advisor who had instructed him to give the item to Lord Cheng, then his mother was handing it over to their enemy, which might cause them great trouble.

"Mother, you mustn't!"

Physician Zhang said.

However, the old lady of the Zhang family couldn't help but frown as she looked at her son.

Zhenying was unaware that this was the method required. Although it could wake Lord Cheng up, what about the consequences?

“You’re always so calculating in the palace. Now tell me, with Lord Cheng in this state, do you have any way to wake him up? If you don’t, then I will. Just shut up. No matter what kind of trouble happens, I, this old lady, will bear it all.”

The old lady from the Zhang family said.

No one else could do anything about it, but now they know that such an idea is not a good one.

The retired emperor's imperial advisor truly did not know that the imperial advisor of yesteryear would have the opportunity to entrust the jade pendant and another item to such an unknown old man.

The jade pendant, it seems, the jade pendant from the portal of time and space was given to the old lady of the Zhang family.

It's my own fault for not discovering it in time. Now it's too late; the jade pendant is no longer in my possession. Obviously, the other thing must also be very important.

"The old lady of the Zhang family is smart; she knows what she wants."

When the other people heard the Grand Preceptor say this, their faces turned very ugly.

The old lady of the Zhang family looked at the Imperial Advisor with undisguised seriousness in her eyes, leaning on her cane.

"Grand Preceptor, don't underestimate me just because I'm an old man. If you try to use special methods to prevent Lord Cheng from waking up and take the item away, I'm not someone to be trifled with. You won't be able to take that item away."

Zhenying was unremarkable, but when she heard the old lady of the Zhang family say these words, she couldn't help but feel relieved.

Fortunately, it's good that Lord Cheng has woken up.

The Imperial Advisor felt a chill run down his spine. After all, he was an old man who had survived in the palace, and he had taken precautions beforehand.

Although the Imperial Advisor couldn't see his face clearly, his tone was noticeably more amiable.

"It's as simple as just waking up Lord Cheng. This deal is very worthwhile. Why would I resort to such underhanded methods?"

"That's what the Imperial Advisor said."

At this moment, the old lady of the Zhang family stepped aside to let the Imperial Advisor go and take a look.

This was the first time the Imperial Advisor had seen Cheng Yunmo, and he noticed that her soul was unstable and she looked unusually strange.

For some reason, I had heard the name Cheng Yunmo from others before. Such a person shouldn't be ignored, but for some reason, this was our first meeting.

What's even stranger is that a sense of unease welled up in his heart, a feeling that he hadn't experienced in many years before, when he was about to lose his position as the Imperial Preceptor.

Although he should delay treating Cheng Yunmo, he was now very curious to know what the Emperor's Imperial Preceptor had left behind.

After ignoring this unease, he began to investigate.

Upon closer inspection, it became clear that the situation was indeed far from simple. The materials she usually refined were completely useless, and what she needed was something far more precious.

“Old lady of the Zhang family, his injury this time is not simple. I need to see what the Emperor’s Imperial Advisor left behind before I can take out the item to exchange for yours.”

The Imperial Advisor was still very cautious.
