Starting as a complete failure, he leads the demon race to sweep across the lower realm.

Seeing Jiang Ya like this, Li Yang understood everything. It was this couple who had Xia Lin drug and imprison her, destroying her dantian.

Ignoring the burning pain in his back, Xia Yi scrambled to his feet and shouted, "Your Majesty, nothing of the sort happened! This wretched girl went to the Silent Forest to provoke a high-level demonic beast and came back with a mess!"

Feng Mo glared at him, then lowered her head and asked softly, "Yangyang, just say it. Your father and mother will support you."

He glanced at the Bai siblings outside, whose bodies had been dented into the ground by Xiao Jin's blow. "I heard that the Bai family defied my imperial decree to marry the second young lady of the Xia family?"

Bai Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he kowtowed repeatedly. "Your Majesty, spare my life! It was all that vile woman Xia Lin who bewitched me! I know I've made a mistake, please, Yangyang, give me another chance!"

vomit……

Li Yang rolled her eyes, pursed her lips, and looked at the emperor in a deep voice, "Father, since Bai Feng and my sister are in love, I am willing to grant them their wish. I only hope that Uncle will stop keeping me locked up..."

"What are you saying, you little brat!"

Xia Yi's roar made Li Yang tremble all over. "Waaah, Yang Yang was wrong. Please don't ruin Yang Yang's dantian anymore. Yang Yang will be obedient."

Feng Mo's face was grim. "What exactly happened?!"

Xia Yi and Jiang Ya knew the truth might not be kept secret any longer, so they quickly knelt down before the emperor and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please don't listen to her nonsense! She must have been possessed by a demonic beast from Jilin. We will rid the country of this scourge!"

As he spoke, he was about to gather his spiritual power and strike Li Yang's heart.

Feng Mo waved his hand and said, "Get lost!"

He looked at Li Yang and said, "Yang Yang, just say it, and your father will decide for you."

Li Yang shrank back like a little rabbit, her voice trembling, "Father, Yangyang will take you to see."

"Hmm," Feng Mo picked up Li Yang and placed her on the sedan chair. He then took the unconscious Empress from the maid and picked her up, muttering helplessly, "She's still not well. I told you not to come."

Watching the group walk away, Xia Yi collapsed to the ground, utterly dejected. Jiang Ya, who was beside him, tried to help him up, but he kicked her away in frustration, saying, "Get out of my way! It's all over now!"

Li Yang turned to look at Xia Yi and gave him a meaningful smile.

Bai Han tugged at Bai Feng's sleeve, "Brother, what do we do now..."

“Let’s go back to find Father.”

With Xia Lin's dantian destroyed, there was no way he could marry a useless woman. He angrily flicked his sleeve, regretting that he shouldn't have been bewitched by Xia Lin in the first place. Now that Li Yang had become a royal princess, it would be difficult for him to marry her again.

Li Yang led everyone to Xia Lin's courtyard, and the emperor's divine sense quickly discovered the underground secret chamber.

Four spiritual rings encircled his wrist. The emperor raised his hand indifferently and brought it down. A bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl struck the center of the courtyard with a deafening roar. The force of the lightning shook the ground several times.

As the dust settled, a secret room was revealed beneath the courtyard.

On the ground, dried and undried bloodstains were thickly layered into a deep red. The walls were covered with splattered bloodstains. In the corner, a long table held cold instruments of torture, still covered with flesh and undried blood. In particular, a pair of shackles at the end of the table had been stained black by layers of blood.

Li Yang huddled in the corner of the sedan chair, trembling, and kept shaking her head, saying no.

The emperor's guards were stunned by the sight. A eunuch attending him stepped forward and approached the emperor, only then realizing the terrifying, murderous aura emanating from him. Nevertheless, the eunuch cautiously said, "Your Majesty, the area below is filled with the aura of Princess Lingwang. It seems..."

With the maid's comforting words, Li Yang mustered her courage and sat up straight, tears still clinging to her big eyes. "Father, my sister destroyed Yang Yang's dantian and threw Yang Yang into the Silent Forest. If it weren't for the little golden snake saving Yang Yang and making a contract with her without any disgust, Yang Yang would be a cripple now."

After saying that, Li Yang shrank back into the corner.

The maid kept comforting her, sighing silently in her heart.

The little princess is so pitiful. Not only did she lose her parents at a young age, but the uncle who raised her treats her like this. I don't know who this heartless person in the folklore is who says the princess is arrogant and domineering, but how could such a lovely princess be that kind of person!

Feng Mo turned back to Li Yang's side, his eyes filled with undisguised tenderness, "Yang Yang, don't be afraid, your father will take you home."

"Pass down the order: the head of the Xia family has committed a grave error and is confined to the mansion. He may not leave until he relinquishes his military power. During this period, no one is allowed to deliver food to them."

The eunuch lowered his head and replied, "Yes."

In less than half a day, the news of the Xia family's affair spread throughout the capital. Everyone cursed Xia Yi for being heartless and cruel, but no one dared to say that Li Yang was pitiful, after all, her image as a witch among the people was deeply rooted in their hearts.

Just before dinner, the Queen finally awoke.

"Yangyang!"

The maidservant quickly went to the adjacent courtyard to call Li Yang over.

Li Yang looked at the empress, who was so thin she looked almost unrecognizable, with guilt. In the original owner's memory, the empress had beautiful, watery eyes and two dimples when she smiled. Unlike now, her eyes were deeply sunken and her face was almost devoid of flesh.

They were the ones who cared about the original owner the most, but the original owner let them down.

"Yangyang, what are you thinking about? Your auntie is calling you."

Li Yang came to her senses and chuckled, "Auntie doesn't know yet, does she? Uncle Emperor has adopted Yang Yang as his daughter. From now on, Yang Yang should call her Mother Empress."

Rou Sheng was stunned for a moment, then her eyes suddenly reddened and she hugged Li Yang, "Yang Yang, you should have come back a long time ago."

Li Yang gently patted Rou Sheng's back, "Yes, Yang Yang will take good care of Father and Mother from now on."

"Haha, Father Emperor heard it too!"

Li Yang and Rou Sheng looked outside together. Feng Mo was not wearing a yellow robe, but a long robe with dark blue patterns. He was holding a scroll in his hand and leaning against the door, smiling at them.

Li Yang blinked, her face instantly turning bright red. "Father, you're so annoying!"

"Hahahaha!"

The emperor smiled and pointed outside, "Yangyang, it's time to take your mother out for a meal. She's been worried about you these past few days and hasn't eaten properly."

Li Yang pursed her lips, put on a serious face, and took Rou Sheng's hand. "Come on, Yang Yang will take Mother to dinner."

Rou Sheng didn't have much of an appetite, but seeing her cute little face, she smiled and got up, just like she was saying.

Rousheng likes to tend to the flowers and plants in the yard and loves to eat while enjoying the fragrance of the flowers and plants.

As soon as Li Yang stepped outside, she saw the exquisite dishes displayed in the small pavilion surrounded by flowers and plants, and the aroma alone was enough to whet her appetite.

"Please come, my Empress and Princess."

Feng Mo put down the book in his hand, and had only taken two steps when he was stopped by the eunuch who had rushed over.

His face darkened. "Everything has to wait until I finish this meal. If you can wait, then wait. If you can't, then tell them to get lost."

Rou Sheng sighed, holding Li Yang's hand. "Your Majesty, please go ahead if you have something to attend to. I have Yang Yang to keep me company."

Feng Mo wanted to say something more, but was pulled by the eunuch. He whispered in his ear, "The heads of the noble families probably want to talk about the royal secret realm."

The Royal Secret Realm opens once a year and is filled with treasures left by the ancestors of Fengyang Kingdom. This year's secret realm will open next month.

Because the royal family has no heir, in previous years he would send ten scions of noble families who had reached the high level of Spirit Master to participate. Now, Xia Lin of the Xia family has lost her eligibility, and Yang'er's cultivation level has also...

Feng Mo understood what those old guys were thinking after a moment's thought. He coldly flicked his sleeve and said, "Sheng'er, Yangyang, you two eat first. I want to see what kind of tricks these old guys are up to!"

When Feng Mo arrived at the main hall, fuming with anger, several ministers immediately knelt down with a thud. "Your Majesty, you've finally arrived! If you hadn't come, we would have all died right here in this hall!"
