His Majesty is plotting a rebellion? Quickly, summon the Imperial Advisor!

Zhou Xiaoyou exhaled and relaxed, finally managing to get away with it.

Pretending to be an emperor was already the limit of her heart, but actually... she was secretly enjoying it a little.

We returned to Daxi City from Jingxin Villa.

The moment we entered the city.

The bustling city was filled with people standing on both sides of the street.

The soldiers were lined up neatly.

The civil and military officials bowed and knelt in worship.

As the sun rose, all she saw was gold, and the armor gleamed with a cold light. What she looked at was the point of the sword.

The dragon carriage is stable, comfortable, and spacious, allowing one to sit, lie down, or roll around. It also has a pleasant fragrance that is beneficial to the mind, body, and spirit.

How could it not be beautiful?

From the mountain villa to the imperial city, it was only along this journey that she truly understood what it meant to be an emperor on earth, and what it meant to be supremely noble.

The world is within one's grasp.

With a wave of the hand, one can see the vast landscape; with a turn of the hand, one can control the universe.

No wonder even ordinary Qi cultivators would give way to the emperor.

No wonder cultivators dare not use their immortal techniques to disrupt the imperial court.

The position of a monarch is indeed too weighty, as it directly relates to the life and death of all people.

Zhou Xiaoyou recalled their previous conversation:

Zhou Xiaoyou: "Sister Ji Yuan, what's so great about being a lousy emperor? It's not fun at all, and you can't even live forever."

Ji Yuan raised an eyebrow, picked up a grape with two fingers, put it in her mouth, rolled her eyes at her, and said leisurely, "You can't imagine how happy my sister is."

……

Zhou Xiaoyou actually felt it was a pity.

If she were the ruler.

The next day, they would first screen all the handsome men in the country, and fill the harem with all those who met their standards.

And then... hehehe.

Since there is no immortality, why not indulge in desires? Galloping on horseback, how delightful!

Zhou Xiaoyou was having a wonderful dream, but she didn't dare to get too involved, after all, she was a Qi cultivator.

After returning to her palace, Xu Bing followed her in and spoke to her about some things.

Zhou Xiaoyou also had some things to say.

She said that impersonating Senior Sister Ji was the limit of what she could do, and she would rather die than go to court.

She was merely a tool in the impersonation of Ji Yuan, and she didn't even use any magic.

But once she enters the imperial court and participates in state affairs... that's a different story. After all, even if she doesn't use magic, her status as a Qi cultivator won't change, which is considered interference in court affairs.

To her surprise, Xu Bing quickly agreed with her opinion.

He only had one requirement.

During this period, let her pretend to be sick and relinquish power; basically, just disappear and don't show up.

……

"Fatty!"

After Xu Bing left, Zhou Xiaoyou's mouth was full of insults towards Xu Bing.

There are such vicious and wicked people in the world.

Tragically, both she and Sister Ji Yuan fell into the clutches of this wicked villain, and no one knows when they will be freed.

I'm alright, but Sister Ji Yuan is in a worse situation.

Waaaaah... Zhou Xiaoyou wanted to cry but had no tears in his heart, but on the surface he still had to pretend to be aloof.

Xu Bing left the palace and manipulated a crow to land outside the palace as a spy.

Xu Bing opened the system panel, and the main changes were as follows:

[Xu Bing]

[Identity: Imperial Advisor]

[Prestige: Thirteen]

……

The word "danger" after "National Preceptor" has been removed.

Furthermore, his prestige rose to thirteen, likely because news of his entry into the palace with Ji Yuan had spread, leading to much speculation and thus increasing his prestige.

Xu Bing continued to check the system.

【Charm: 99】

【Characteristic: Mortal World Charm】

The more beautiful and experienced a person of the opposite sex is, the more easily they will be attracted to you.

……

Now that the system was open, Xu Bing took the opportunity to check Ji Yuan's attributes and the current tasks.

[Mission: Abundant Harvest]

[Mission: National Prosperity and Peace]

……

He walked and looked around.

He happened to pass by the Imperial Guard camp, so he went in and, as the Imperial Advisor, showed compassion for his subordinates and comforted Shang Shoucheng, who had just been flogged.

Due to etiquette and other factors, the bloodied and mangled Lord Shang still had to force himself to stand up, cup his hands in thanks, and express his gratitude to the Grand Preceptor.

Shang Shoucheng is a loyal and law-abiding man, so he is not a cause for concern.

Da Xi City is very quiet today.

The powerful and wealthy in the prison were filled with fear.

Now that the princess has descended the mountain, it is the perfect time to establish her authority.

Their time has come.

On the eve of a storm.

It was still early morning, but the sky was overcast, and it seemed as if something was weighing on everyone's heart.

Except for Xu Bing.

As the Imperial Preceptor, he publicly announced that His Majesty had been meditating for seven days and had caught a cold, and that the Imperial Preceptor would be in charge of governing the country.

Normally, this news would be...

There must be all sorts of impeachment voices in the court. What right does that scoundrel Xu Bing have?

He has neither family background nor ability. He knows immortal magic? What use is immortal magic? What does governing a country have to do with immortal magic?

but now…

Some speculate that the Emperor's intention is that Xu Bing is merely a tool to help her carry out her dirty deeds.

After all, some members of the rebellious group had backgrounds with immortals, and some had been found to have immortal talents and went to immortal mountains to learn arts.

His Majesty did not want to get involved personally, so he instead pushed Xu Bing forward, which is reasonable and appropriate.

Everyone agreed.

……

After leaving the palace, Xu Bing used his invisibility technique to head towards Jingxin Villa.

Suddenly, he paused slightly, his expression revealing a profound meaning.

Since leaving Jingxin Villa, he has kept a crow by his side, always following Yu Jin, the Left Wing Guard of the Imperial Guard.

Upon discovering this young man, they removed their armor, changed into civilian clothes, and quietly made their way to the Tranquil Mountain Villa.

The purpose is self-evident.

"Since that's the case, why not use someone else to do the dirty work?" Xu Bingxin devised a plan.

He wrote a letter and arranged for a crow to deliver it to Gong Zhonghou, then continued walking towards Jingxin Villa.

His vital energy was inexhaustible, allowing him to remain almost invisible and move unimpeded, easily overtaking the soldiers guarding the manor.

It is worth mentioning that.

Jingxin Villa is an important place.

There are guards all year round, but the guards are even more stringent during the Tranquil Festival.

He came to the Tranquil Heart Hall again, naturally to find Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan lifted the tablecloth, closed her eyes to rest, her long golden hair was a bit messy because it hadn't been washed for many days, and a few strands of gold hair stuck to her cheeks due to the sweat.

Her face was beautiful, not "delicate" but "alluring".

Unbeknownst to her, the Empress of Da Xi had been sitting there for nearly two hours.

"Your Majesty Ji Yuan, your Imperial Preceptor has come to fetch you," Xu Bing said with a smile.

He lifted Ji Yuan up; with his current strength, this amount of effort was nothing.

To Ji Yuan's surprise...

Xu Bing carried her out of the Jingxin Palace.

"Another invisibility spell?" Ji Yuan looked indignant, then shook her head.

She had come into contact with the invisibility technique before; she had seen her senior brothers use it. The technique was extremely useless, and it made it difficult to move freely.

It makes it even harder for others to become invisible as well.

嗏

"Xu Bing, who exactly are you? How many things are you hiding?" Ji Yuan sighed, never expecting that this mistake would have such serious consequences.

Despite being a Qi cultivator, he recklessly uses magic on himself, unaffected by dragon energy or national fortune.

She just couldn't understand it.

at this time.

Out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a furtive figure and secretly slipped into Jingxin Villa as well.

It seemed to be searching for something everywhere.

"Yu Jin?" Ji Yuan recognized the figure.

The Left Wing Guard of the Imperial Guard, his own cousin.

The Imperial Guard is an army that maintains the stability of Da Xi City and protects the safety of the emperor. Every member of the army is carefully arranged by Ji Yuan.

She was either a relative of the emperor or a commoner. She had long been at odds with powerful families, and if she were surrounded by their people, she would have died from poisoning or illness long ago.

Why did he sneak up here? What is he looking for? Could it be...? Ji Yuan wondered.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you some good news," Xu Bing said in a low voice, "He already knows you're trapped and can't get out."

"He came up here secretly to look for clues; in other words, he came to save you."

Ji Yuan craned her neck toward Yu Jin, trying to make a sound, but it was all in vain.

Realizing this, Ji Yuan sighed and stopped struggling, only praying that Yu Jin would notice something was wrong and save her.

Even though the two of them were standing right next to Yu Jin, the latter didn't notice them at all.

Ji Yuan watched as Yu Jin passed by him, then pushed open the door to the Tranquil Heart Hall, slipped inside, and lifted the tablecloth to observe…

It was just a hair's breadth away again.

Xu Bing added, "The bad news is that I already knew. I even wrote to the Right Wing Guard, Gong Zhonghou, in advance, telling him... if we search Jingxin Manor, something interesting might happen."

The voice just fell.

The sound of footsteps approached from afar.

Zhonghou, the Right Wing Guard of the Imperial Guard, ordered his men to surround the mountain villa and personally led a troop into the mountain to search for it.

Jingxin Villa is a restricted area; anyone who trespasses will be sentenced to death.

"Damn it!"

How did they get up here?

Yu Jin's young and handsome face instantly turned extremely ugly. He cursed under his breath a few times and hurriedly ran away.

"Alright, we should go now. Your cousin might be in for a tough time."

Xu Bing carried Ji Yuan and leisurely walked down the mountain.

The two, shrouded in invisibility, mingled with the Imperial Guards led by Gong Zhonghou.

Ji Yuan's pupils were about to burst, but she couldn't even utter a sound.

"A thief has been spotted!"

"Chase me!"

"Capture him alive!"

Gong Zhonghou spotted Yu Jin and shouted.
