Starting with the Magic Absorption Technique: I swept through the fantasy world.

Upon hearing this, the three women were quick-witted, and having just tasted the tea, they did indeed taste some of its flavor.

Just as things were getting elegant, Wang Mu suddenly said, "Everyone says that tea tasting is an art, but unfortunately I don't have that artistic talent, haha."

Just like the beauty of nature, if someone suddenly barges in and shouts, the pleasant mood vanishes instantly.

Feng Ji, however, smiled and said, "You, I was just starting to feel something, but your smile has made me forget everything."

Wang Mu felt a wave of embarrassment. These words were too ambiguous. It would be fine if it were just the two of them, but right now there was also the princess and the noblewoman.

He could only chuckle a few times and say, "Have some tea, have some tea."

"Hehe, Your Majesty, do you often drink this tea in your hometown?"

Feng Ji smiled and asked. She had realized that what she had said earlier was a bit too rash, especially in front of the other two women. But then she thought that she and the Emperor were in love, so there was no need to overthink it.

"Yes, and there are many ways to drink it, but I don't know anything about tea ceremony."

After Wang Mu finished speaking, he pondered his own world, and a suppressed, melancholic longing burst forth, making the atmosphere suddenly heavy.

Feng Ji didn't know what was going on, only that her words had stirred up painful memories for the emperor, and she looked to the princess for help.

Of the three women, only Lixue knew that, judging from the boy's expression, the emperor still hadn't truly overcome that hurdle.

She said, "Your Majesty, this is my first time here. Could you please show me around?"

Wang Mu stood up. "This place is very simple. How can it compare to the princess's residence? Why don't we go for a walk in the backyard?"

Composing himself, he took the lead and headed towards the backyard.

Feng Ji expressed his gratitude to Li Xue. The three women silently went to the backyard. When they saw the boy again, they were all smiling. Each of the three women had their own thoughts, but they all kept them to themselves. The backyard had a different kind of charm.

As Wang Mu told jokes and stories, it was already dusk. Seeing that the women showed no sign of leaving, he suggested that they stay for dinner, which suited the women perfectly.

None of the three wanted to leave first, and the princess had heard the county princess talk about how she was treated by the emperor, so she was determined to have a say in it today.

Feng Ji had come to find him, and seeing that neither of his rivals was willing to leave, he naturally wouldn't leave first.

Wang Mu asked the three women to wait for him in the room, but they couldn't sit alone there, so they suggested going out to buy groceries with him, which he had no choice but to agree to.

The three women traveled with an ordinary young man, which surprised passersby. They had seen princesses and emperors together before, but now even Princess Lixue was accompanying them.

The princess was the goddess of the academy, but unexpectedly, there was another woman in the group who seemed to be no less outstanding than the princess. Before long, news of the emperor's affairs spread throughout the entire academy.

Hearing the whispers and murmurs of passersby, and seeing the three women's calm and fearless expressions, Wang Mu was greatly surprised. He wondered if they had officially stated their position, which gave him a headache.

Men love beautiful women, but too many can cause trouble. Right now, the three women are arguing and neither side can win unless he speaks up. However, the three women are surprisingly obedient to him, regardless of whether he is right or wrong.

Upon arriving at the academy gate, as soon as everyone disembarked, a carriage pulled up and stopped. After getting off, the maid Qiao Li pulled Li Yili aside.

The two women's conversation included topics such as finding someone, the emperor, sending the princess back, and being careful on the road.

Not long after, Li Yili returned. "Your Majesty, I have something to attend to and need to return to Bachen first."

She apologized to Lixue and Fengji, then turned back with Qiaoli to get into the carriage.

Wang Mu remained silent. The sun was setting and darkness was approaching, and he figured the journey back wouldn't be safe. He kept pondering whether he should escort the princess back to the capital.

However, he remembered that he had just heard about matters of the imperial court, and if he sent this message, he might get caught up in royal affairs.

Regardless, in his previous life he knew the cruelty of the imperial family from television and history, and if we're talking about his previous life as the emperor, he had a deep understanding of it.

Li Yili stepped onto the carriage. He still decided to send the princess back. After all, the princess was one of his few close friends, and their relationship was quite close. Her affection was evident, and he did not reject her. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a close female friend.

"Princess, wait a moment, I'll take you back." He called out to the princess, then turned back to look at Feng Ji and Li Xue.

The Phoenix Princess and the other princess were not jealous; on the contrary, they were secretly pleased. Perhaps this was the kind of emperor they wanted to see who was both affectionate and charming.

Feng Ji took the small vegetable basket from Wang Mu and said, "Be careful on your journey. I'll be waiting for you to come back."

Lixue also said, "Your Majesty, please be careful."

Wang Mu nodded, then came to Li Yili, looked at the happy princess, and said, "Let's go quickly."

"it is good."

Li Yili turned around and nodded slightly to Lixue and Fengji before getting into the carriage.

Seeing the young man board the carriage, Qiao Li knew that with the Emperor present, her safety on the way back was assured. She was not only grateful to the Emperor, but also to Feng Ji and the princess, who were clearly rivals of her princess.

The carriage sped towards the capital. Inside, Li Yili said, "Your Majesty, thank you."

“We are friends,” Wang Mu said. “If you feel it’s worth telling me, then tell me, and perhaps I can help.”

Li Yili was taken aback. Looking at the young man before her, she knew that the emperor rarely cared about important matters, let alone joked about them. She also knew that her own affairs were of utmost importance, as matters of the palace and the royal family were fraught with danger and death.

In fact, Wang Mu had figured it out. After he got into the carriage, he was already tied to the princess. He might have already fallen into her sights. Since that was the case, he might as well face it calmly.

"Okay." Li Yili was grateful and even more excited, which meant that the emperor cared about her.

In the end, she didn't say it. Perhaps she had her concerns, perhaps the matter was too important, and it even involved royal secrets. Perhaps she was hesitant because of the emperor's safety.

The journey to Bachen was only about twenty miles. When they were halfway there, Wang Mu immediately became alert and discovered that the killing intent around them was very strong.

"Princess, please stop the carriage."

Seeing his caution, Qiao Li stepped forward and asked, "Your Majesty, what's wrong?"

Wang Mu smiled and said, "It seems they don't want your princess to go back."

Upon hearing this, Li Yili guessed that the other party had sent assassins to intercept and kill her, and quickly said, "Your Majesty, you must be careful. Perhaps we should return to the academy and think of another way."

"It's too late now. Stay in the carriage and don't get out." Wang Mu looked the carriage over and could tell that it was no ordinary carriage; it could withstand ordinary arrows and spears.

"Your Majesty, you must be careful. If you are outmatched, leave on your own immediately. You don't need to get involved in this matter." Li Yili said nervously.

"it is good."

Wang Mu nodded in agreement, then got out of the carriage. The sky was already dark gray, with visibility of only a few meters. After letting Qiao Li into the carriage, he moved like a swallow, disappearing from sight after a few leaps.
