She became a god

Chapter 364 Duan Yanran

The next day, at 1:15 AM, the Pavilion Master of Canghai Pavilion arrived and boarded their small, dilapidated boat.

Unexpectedly, Wen Ning ignored Wen Xichun and Feng Hui, but stared at the little panda for a long time before asking, "Where is Her Majesty Wan Jun?"

Feng Ai said, "Senior Wan Jun travels all over the world and has temporarily entrusted Zhouzhou to my care."

Wen Ning smiled, "I was there that day too. Out of respect for Her Majesty Wan Jun, I won't touch you. You can continue to take care of this little panda. But Wen Xichun is useful to me, so I'm taking her away."

Feng Hui laughed loudly, "Please!"

The little panda tugged at Feng Rui's sleeve again, but Feng Rui's smile remained unchanged.

When the little panda looked up and met Feng Hui's eyes, it understood what she meant.

The person you invited wasn't invited by me; whether they live or die is none of my business.

The little panda was very frustrated. She had thought that the Pavilion Master of Canghai Pavilion was at most at the Nascent Soul stage and would spare Wen Xichun's life out of consideration for the Little Panda Clan behind her and the Phoenix Clan behind Feng Xiu.

But Wen Ning was too powerful. The little panda felt that Wen Ning was much stronger than its great-grandmother, who was at the Mahayana stage.

If it weren't for the bad woman's sake, Ah-e and I would probably be dead!

Wait a minute... Wen Ning seems to respect bad women quite a bit.

The little panda's eyes lit up, and it stood up, raising its paws high. "Wait a minute, you can't take Wenxichun away!"

"Oh?" Wen Ning walked step by step toward the little panda with an unstoppable air of authority. "Say it again."

The little panda swallowed nervously, steeled its resolve, and shouted, "Wanjun said you can't take Wenxichun away!"

The next second, Wen Ning picked up the little panda and looked directly into her eyes, "Little panda, is it you who doesn't want Wen Xichun to die, or Her Majesty Wan Jun who doesn't want her to die?"

Wen Ning has a pair of extremely beautiful light brown eyes. The little panda felt dizzy after just one glance at them.

Wen Ning's alluring voice rang in her ears, "Tell me, who exactly doesn't want Wen Xichun to die?"

"Yes……"

No... I can't get infected!

If Chun Chun gets infected, she's doomed!

The red panda bit her tongue, and the blood on the tip kept her mind clear for a moment.

Wen Xichun felt as if her heart was being pricked by needles, numb and painful, with a sour feeling.

Ye Qingzhou, what exactly are you thinking?

Ye Qingzhou, what kind of little panda are you exactly?

Ye Qingzhou, where exactly do you place me?

Seeing that Ye Qingzhou was putting on a brave face, Wen Ning laughed. When that laughter reached Ye Qingzhou's ears, her mind was instantly thrown into turmoil, a chaotic mess.

Seeing this, Feng Hui said loudly, "Sect Master, you are wise. Zhouzhou is young and ignorant, and has always been gentle and obedient. How dare she falsely convey Her Majesty Wan Jun's orders?"

Wen Ning scoffed, "She doesn't have the guts, but don't you?"

Feng Hui's expression hardened. If she took the initiative, Wen Ning would definitely use it as an opportunity to make trouble for her.

If they deny it, Zhouzhou might be in danger.

Isn't there a way to have the best of both worlds?

Immediately, Feng Hui bound Wen Xichun, saying, "Like the Pavilion Master, I want to get rid of Wen Xichun as soon as possible. However, before Senior Wanjun left, she did whisper to Zhouzhou for a long time. Even if what Zhouzhou said just now was exaggerated, she is still Senior Wanjun's vassal. I hope the Pavilion Master will think twice before acting."

Wen Ning knew perfectly well that Feng Hui was using Wan Jun to pressure him.

But he really didn't dare to gamble. He didn't dare to gamble on whether Wan Jun knew Wen Xi Chun's fate, or on how much Wan Jun valued Ye Qing Zhou.

Well, this time Wen Xichun just got lucky.

So Wen Ning released the little panda and left in a huff. Before leaving, she said sternly, "Once I contact Her Majesty Wan Jun, everything will be clear! At that time, no matter how many reasons there are, I will not let the little thief who dares to play tricks on me get away with it!"

The little panda blinked, tilted its head, and went to sleep.

My mind is in a mess, I feel groggy, what else can I do if I don't sleep?

Feng Sui tenderly stroked the little panda's head, frowned, and retrieved the Hun Tian Ling binding Wen Xichun. She said in a low voice, "If you have any conscience, find a suitable time to leave within three months!"

"At your age, you'd be an adult long ago in the human world. You have to bear your own burdens; you can't expect Zhouzhou to bear them for you next time, can you?"

After a long while, Feng Rui heard a soft reply, "Okay!"

On the second day of the eleventh lunar month, the winter solstice, the emperor offered sacrifices to heaven, and the people offered sacrifices to their ancestors.

In the capital of Yan, the officials and civil servants were preoccupied with the border wars and had no interest in discussing sacrificial rites.

Li Xiuning stepped forward, knelt down, and pleaded, "Your subject is willing to lead the army to the frontier to defeat the Quanrong."

The prime minister, however, objected, saying, "No, this battle is of utmost importance. His Majesty should personally lead the army, or the Crown Prince should lead the troops. At the very least, the Prince of Jin should lead the campaign. How can it be the turn of Princess Pingyang, a mere woman?"

Li Xiuning glared angrily and said, "With the country in turmoil and enemies at our side, at this critical moment of life and death, how dare you, you old fool, bring up the difference between men and women?"

"My father is old, and the Crown Prince and the Prince of Jin are born of the same father and mother as me. Why can they lead troops into battle, but I cannot!"

"Enough!" The Emperor of Yan interrupted Li Xiuning. "The Prime Minister is right. Issue my decree: the Prince of Jin shall be the commander-in-chief of the three armies, and the Crown Prince shall accompany him as a military supervisor."

"Father..."

The Crown Prince and the Prince of Jin have long been at odds, and if these two fight together, their armies will inevitably not be able to coordinate perfectly.

This is not child's play!

This is war!

The Emperor of Yan sneered, "If I don't send your two brothers, do you think I'd send you, this unfilial good-for-nothing?"

Li Xiuning's face turned pale. Her father had become increasingly cold towards her after discovering that she had failed to retrieve the spiritual fruit.

Yesterday, after learning that the divine beast had ascended to heaven and its whereabouts were unknown, the Emperor smashed all the porcelain.

Li Xiuning knew her father was very angry, but she never imagined that he would take his anger out on her so much because of this.

Unfilial?

waste?

When her father rebelled, she raised an army of women to fight for him and led troops to rescue him countless times.

Li Xiuning's self-perceived filial piety has finally shattered into pieces today.

After the court session, Li Xiuning, in a daze, was summoned by Consort Duan Yanran.

"I wonder what important matter Consort Duan wishes to discuss with me?"

Li Xiuning's birth mother died early, and after Emperor Yan ascended the throne, she was posthumously honored as Empress Wende.

Currently, the most favored person in the Yan Kingdom's palace is Consort Duan. It is said that His Majesty once wanted to make her Empress, but she politely declined.

"Doesn't Your Highness want to know why I don't want to be His Majesty's Empress?"

Li Xiuning said, "Do you think you'd tell me if I wanted to know?"

Duan Yanran nodded. "Yes, I will. The reason I don't want to be His Majesty's Empress is very simple."

At this point, Duan Yanran's voice lowered considerably, gently drifting into Li Xiuning's ears, "How can a cold-hearted person grow old together?"

Li Xiuning was struck dumb, standing frozen in place for a long time before she finally reacted, frowning as she said, "Consort Zhao, be careful what you say!"

Duan Yanran didn't take it to heart and gave Li Xiuning a deep look. "Officials in the court are vying to curry favor with the Crown Prince and the Prince of Jin in order to gain merit for their support of the new emperor."

"I also desire to serve the emperor; I wonder if Your Highness would grant my wish?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Duan Yanran could clearly hear Li Xiuning's breathing become much more rapid.

Li Xiuning left without saying a word, but Duan Yanran was not disappointed because she was certain that Li Xiuning had fallen for her.

Duan Yanran looked at the magnificent yet decaying palace and let out a soft sigh, "Why can't we have female imperial consorts and female top scholars, but we can't have female emperors and female prime ministers?"
