Everything the queen says is right

Zhang Ming had no choice but to follow her obediently until... outside the imperial study room.

Looking at the plaque of the Imperial Study Room shining brightly in front of him, Zhang Ming did not dare to move forward no matter what.

He originally wanted to trick the goddess today and make her the target of public criticism.

But he didn't expect that he would be tricked and taken to the royal study room.

If one of the prince's staff appeared in front of the emperor with the goddess, it would cause huge trouble for the prince. Even if he was killed, he would not dare to do such a thing.

Ah Cha saw his cowardice, sneered and walked towards the side of the imperial study.

"Don't you want to go to a secluded place? Follow me."

Do you still want to follow her?
Zhang Ming was extremely confused.

He was really afraid of what tricks the goddess would use on him again.

"What? You don't want to go to a secluded place and want to go with me to meet the emperor?"

Ah Cha's words immediately stimulated him.

Zhang Ming quickly followed her.

Ah Cha reluctantly took him to the Imperial Garden.

Yes, it’s the Royal Garden.

Zhang Ming looked left and right, and felt that this place didn't look like a secluded place, but he didn't know how to speak.

But Ah Cha's patience has reached its limit.

"You have something to say, I have other things to be busy with."

This was the last chance Ah Cha gave him.

Zhang Ming did not expect that Ah Cha was not an easy talker.

But everything came, and he was even taken into the palace.

Today, everyone outside the palace clearly saw one of the prince's staff entering the palace together with the goddess.

He had absolutely no retreat.

So he simply gritted his teeth and made his choice.

"My Lady Goddess, I would like to cooperate with you."

Cooperation?

Maybe Ah Cha would be interested if others said this word.

But when the words came out of Zhang Ming's mouth, she felt strange.

It was really inexplicable that she couldn't get interested in it in advance.

Perhaps she was too obvious, and Zhang Ming could also see her emotions.

"My Lady Goddess, I've heard that Uncle Jiang came to see you." Zhang Ming didn't want to be too pretentious and went straight to the point, "So I want to cooperate with you alone."

Acha glanced at him lightly and said from her nose, "Yeah."

"I want to cooperate with the goddess to get rid of Uncle Jiang."

As soon as his words came out, Ah Cha couldn't help but laugh.

The prince's staff are really more naive than the other.

In the past, Uncle Jiang came to surrender to him with his previously abandoned plan, and later, Zhang Ming wanted to use her hands to get rid of his political enemies.

She is like a treasure chest for the princelings, and anyone can use it.

She didn't understand. Did she just look good at talking?
As an adult, if you are polite, it will seem a bit fake.

Ah Cha didn't bother to talk nonsense to him and directly asked what he was thinking.

"So what benefits can I gain from cooperating with you?"

Good...benefits...?
Zhang Ming's eyes widened and he looked at her in disbelief.

But he reacted quickly and adjusted his attitude immediately.

"My Lady Goddess, if you can cooperate with me, I will tell you everything I know."

Just him?

Do you still know that there is nothing you can’t say without saying anything?
It would be strange if Ah Cha believed his lies.

"What I want is benefits."

The implication is to sneer at Zhang Ming's verbal promise.

Zhang Ming finally managed to survive after being dormant by the prince's side for so long. He would never allow Uncle Jiang, a potential danger, to exist.

"My Lady Goddess, as long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I will share with you any news about the Prince's Mansion in the future."

Oh, this is about to betray the Lord.

Ah Cha couldn't help but sigh.

It's not easy for the prince. He finally managed to have a few seemingly smarter staff, but in the end they were all unscrupulous people who betrayed his master.

But the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Since Zhang Ming has a mysterious identity and is Uncle Jiang's enemy, he is her ally.

Ah Cha was not interested at all in the news about the Prince's Mansion.

But she couldn't help but be interested in the civil strife in the Prince's Mansion.

She didn't even dare to think that chaos would break out inside the Prince's Mansion first, what a beautiful scene it would be.

And now is a critical period when they are preparing to build lifeboats in flood areas. If the princelings' attention is distracted by civil strife at this time.

That would be a great convenience for them.

Thinking of this, Ah Cha raised the corners of her lips slightly and looked straight at Zhang Ming.

"Okay, I promise you."

This...this is what you agreed to...?
"What? You don't want to cooperate with me anymore?"

"No, no, no! I am willing to cooperate with the goddess!" Zhang Ming even bowed greatly, "I would like to thank the goddess for your mercy."

Ah Cha fiddled with the jade pendant around her waist carelessly, without even raising her head.

"Tell me, how do we cooperate?"

This is to make it clear that the initiative must be handed over to him first.

Zhang Ming was still immersed in the joy of Ah Cha suddenly agreeing to cooperate with him, and did not react for a while.

"Cough-cough-"

"My Lady Goddess, I am going to implore you to find a suitable time to speak to the Prince."

"Just say that Uncle Jiang has evil intentions. You think the prince may be in trouble in the near future. Just ask the prince to stay away from Uncle Jiang and drive him out of the capital."

"The rest will be arranged by me."

"puff--"

Forgive Acha for not being able to hold back her laughter just after listening to Zhang Ming's words.

She said that Zhang Ming was really a good adviser to the prince.

He had just discussed with the eldest princess to entertain the prince and set up a trap for the prince.

Here Zhang Ming asked himself to find a suitable time to speak to the prince.

Opportunities are already there.

Calculating the time, their original plan was to set up a trap for the prince to make the emperor suspicious of the prince, and then build a lifeboat in the flood zone under the pretense of building a shrine.

To say that the right time, place and people are right is nothing more than that.

Zhang Ming, on the other hand, was overwhelmed by her smile.

"I wonder why the goddess is laughing?"

Ah Cha waved his hand and suppressed a smile, "It's okay, I'm just happy to get rid of Uncle Jiang."

"Then what do you think of my thoughts?"

"I agree." Ah Cha responded simply, but his eyes were still fixed on Zhang Ming's cheek.

It wasn't until Zhang Ming was so frightened by what he saw that he had the courage to ask, "May I ask the goddess if there is anything else you would like to advise me?"

advise?

"I am your cooperation, how do you think I should instruct you?"

What kind of advice?

All she wants is a little benefit.

If there is no benefit from doing a thankless thing, then it won't work.

"As long as the goddess agrees, I am willing to provide the goddess with the recent movements of the prince."

What has the prince been up to recently?

At first glance, it does seem to be very attractive news.

But Ah Cha knew in her heart that the princelings had been focusing all their attention on the court recently, and there was no movement at all.

"Then tell me."

Ah Cha threw the opportunity to him, but she really wanted to see what tusks he could spit out of his dog's mouth.

"The prince has recently been preparing to win over officials in the court to win his majesty's trust."

"anything else?"

"The...Prince, he is also planning to get rid of the Yongxian people and train new people..."

What he said was true, but there were some things he didn't dare to tell the goddess.

Otherwise, if the prince finds out, it will be very serious.

He originally thought that Ah Cha would be dissatisfied with him and continue to ask why.

But unexpectedly, Ah Cha's expression was extremely calm.

"Well, I know, you can retreat."

back off?
Can he quit now? !

Seeing him frozen in place, Ah Cha gave him a cold look.

"What? Do you want to go with me to meet the emperor?"

To see the emperor, even if he had [-] courages, he would not dare to do so.

But the goddess has not yet made a promise to him...

With his little thoughts, Ah Cha could tell the clues at a glance.

"You go back and wait for the news. I will give advice to the prince in a few days."

Her promise was enough.

Zhang Ming didn't dare to stay for long, so he nodded and bowed and saluted repeatedly.

"My Lady Goddess, I will take my leave first."

"Ah."

Looking at Zhang Ming's back that could be described as running away in a hurry, A Cha's lips raised a slight smile.

But Zuo Qiuge, who had been following her, was a little confused.

"Goddess, the conditions for cooperation mentioned in this chapter are too simple. Why do you still agree to him?"

Ah Cha smiled mysteriously and said calmly: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, you won't catch the tiger's cubs."

If she doesn't agree to a certain prince's staff, I'm afraid her area will become a base for internal fighting among their princelings.

Besides, if she doesn't agree to Zhang Ming, how can she cause the princelings to fight within themselves?
Although it was obvious that she had not gotten any useful information now, if she read it correctly, the prince's staff and the stupid prince did not take her seriously.

The eyes that looked at him were filled with natural contempt, the kind of contempt that a man could feel so arrogant and arrogant.

Maybe in their eyes, they and the eldest princess are just a generation of women, so what kind of sparks and waves can they create.

Even the tit-for-tat confrontation with the eldest princess's forces in the court is just because they are worried that the eldest princess will support a certain prince to succeed to the throne.

At that time, they will lose a prince who is easy to deceive like the prince, and their own interests will be greatly damaged.

And now the reason why they are willing to cooperate with them is because they think that they have the status of a goddess and can help them get rid of their enemies.

Acha knows their nature better than anyone else.

Employ people forward, not backward.

Once you help them get rid of their enemies, you will be useless in front of them.

Ah Cha thought this, but did not stop and walked straight towards the emperor's study room.

The emperor had long received the news that Ah Cha and the prince's staff were talking in the imperial garden.

The first thing I said when I saw Ah Cha was to question.

"I wonder what the goddess was talking to the prince's staff in the imperial garden just now?"

Tsk, he is still an impatient dog emperor. "Zhang Ming came here to see me on behalf of the Crown Prince and wanted to know about His Majesty's current physical condition."

Ah Cha believed that Zhang Ming was determined not to reveal the true purpose of coming to find him.

Anyway, he didn't dare to say it, so how to say it depends entirely on his own mouth.

Those who listen have a heart.

Acha's few simple words were particularly harsh in the emperor's ears.

As an emperor, his physical condition should be kept secret.

To him, anyone who wanted to inquire about his physical condition was plotting against his throne.

What's more, the prince came to inquire about his physical condition, which was even more ulterior.

Could it be that the prince has evil intentions and hopes that he will die early so that he can inherit the throne as soon as possible?
The emperor's suspicion was like a wildly growing weed, constantly taking root and sprouting.

He was silent for a long time with a gloomy expression before slowly speaking.

"Then how did the goddess tell the prince's staff?"

Ah Cha spread his hands and looked innocent.

"Since the prince has sent someone to ask, I will naturally tell the truth."

Hearing this, the emperor's face turned a little darker.

"May I ask the goddess, how is my physical condition now?"

Now that the emperor has taken the bait, she has to fight with him.

Ah Cha's expression also changed, and he deliberately showed a solemn look.

"Emperor, this is why I came to you today."

When it comes to matters of his own health, the emperor cannot tolerate any sloppiness.

As soon as he heard this, he couldn't sit still. He stood up and asked excitedly.

"Is my physical condition very bad?"

Ah Cha admired his expression and nodded heavily.

"Yes, I discovered that your lifespan is being rapidly consumed by a force."

Seeing the emperor's face getting worse and worse, Ah Cha slowly said: "If you continue to consume like this for a long time, your life span will probably be..."

The emperor even held his breath and said these words tremblingly.

"I...I'm afraid...what will happen...?"

Yes, the effect has been achieved.

Acha opened her thin lips lightly and said the second half of the sentence, "I'm afraid it won't be long before he dies suddenly."

In just a dozen words, the shock to the emperor was no less than a bolt from the blue.

life.

All he dreams about is immortality.

Now it was suddenly told to him that he might not have much time left.

Didn't this kill him?
The emperor no longer cared about his imperial majesty, and rushed down from the Golden Palace in a hurry, "I implore the goddess to save my life and give me a way to rescue me."

He knew very well that since Ah Cha dared to come to his palace to say this.

There must be a feasible way.

For the sake of his own lifespan, for the sake of immortality, so what if he sacrifices his face as an emperor?

I have to say that the emperor's attitude still made Acha very satisfied.

If the emperor had already had this awareness, would he still be able to scare him like this?

"I do have a way, but..."

Hearing her pause, the emperor's heart was in his throat, "But what?"

"It's just that this method is too complicated, will separate your flesh and blood, and consume a lot of money and manpower. I wonder if you are willing to agree?"

At this time, not to mention how complicated it can be, not to mention the separation of flesh and blood, property and manpower, as long as he can survive, he will give it to the entire country with both hands.

"The goddess said it doesn't matter. As long as I can do it, I will do my best."

Well, this is a good attitude, she likes it very much.

It was rare that the emperor was not troublesome, so she would kindly... scare the emperor a little more.

"I wonder if the emperor has been feeling weak recently, has been weak for a long time, and has been mentally depressed, etc.?"

The emperor thought carefully.

Not to mention, his symptoms really match what Ah Cha said.

"So my lifespan is really being rapidly consumed by that power?"

Tsk, only this idiot emperor would believe his own words.

The emperor indulged himself in sensuality all year round, blindly pursuing immortality, and took a lot of elixirs, and his body had long been exhausted.

And the laxative I gave him a few days ago made the Dog Emperor even more weak, and he would not recover for some time in the future.

Therefore, Ah Cha can deal with the emperor's symptoms just by talking about them without using his brain.

But since he wants to believe it, there is nothing he can do about it.

"Yes." Ah Cha nodded affirmatively, "To be precise, that power has a source."

As soon as he heard this, the emperor showed a fierce look.

He will never allow any source to threaten his lifespan!
"Where is the source?"

It's not that easy to hear the source from yourself.

"Close at hand, far away in the sky."

Ah Cha had to keep it secret to scare the dog emperor.

"So what the goddess means is that this power comes from the people around me?"

As soon as this idea came out, the emperor was so frightened that he broke into a cold sweat.

The people around him are using their power to suck away his lifespan, and are preparing to make him lose his lifespan in the long run.

Damn it!

"Yes, in fact, the emperor might as well think carefully about who among the people around him has been weak and suddenly improved."

She thought she had given such an obvious hint, and even the emperor, no matter how stupid he was, would be able to guess it.

The emperor searched carefully in his mind for a long time, and then he suddenly felt blessed.

"Is the goddess talking about Tuoba Jun?"

After all, the Dog Emperor still has some brains.

"Yes, but the secret must not be leaked, and I cannot directly mention this person's name."

"Then what's the solution?"

Since this person is Tuoba Jun, the emperor has already made up his mind to get rid of him.

He doesn't lack a son, so it doesn't matter if he kills him.

The killing intent in his eyes was so dazzling that it broke into Acha's sight.

"The emperor wants to get rid of him?"

Ah Cha narrowed her eyes slightly and her tone was an unquestionable question.

"The goddess is joking." The emperor smiled a little reluctantly, "Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds. After all, he is my son. How can I kill him?"

Tiger poison does not eat children?
Is the Dog Emperor worthy of saying this in the end?

"is it?"

Acha glanced at him coldly and withdrew his gaze.

"Emperor, don't forget that sincerity leads to spiritual success. If you have distracting thoughts in your heart, it will come back to bite you."

The emperor was so frightened by her words that he trembled all over.

Her legs and feet were weak, and if she hadn't been holding on to the table, she would have almost knelt down in front of her.

"I...I beg the goddess to give me a way to save myself..."

Okay, finally getting to the point.

"The way to rescue him is to take this person to a place far away from the capital, and then let me personally set up an altar to perform the ritual."

Hearing that there was a way, the emperor finally regained his energy.

"Where will the demand take him? Please let the goddess speak clearly."

Ah Cha raised his head slightly and said, "Emperor, please put your hands on the table. I will do the math."

"Okay, then let's go to the Goddess."

Seeing the emperor put his hand on the table, Ah Cha casually took out a handkerchief from the system and put it on the emperor's hand gracefully.

Everything taken out of the system will emit a brilliant light.

In the eyes of the emperor, it was an extremely mysterious light.

In my heart, I believed every word Ah Cha said.

As for the Dog Emperor's hands, Ah Cha didn't want to touch them even through a handkerchief.

So she pretended to do some counting.

Yes, she just used her fingers to gather, separate and gather again. After doing this for a long time, she deliberately fell silent.

After pinching and feeling that the time was almost up, she slowly spoke.

"The emperor is sitting on thousands of miles of mountains and rivers. The five elements belong to earth, and earth can overcome water. If the emperor wants to suppress the energy in this person, then take him to the water."

by the water?

The country is vast and rich in resources, and there are many places close to the water.

"May I ask which waterside the goddess is at?"

This question played right into Ah Cha's wish.

"The middle ground between the East and the North."

After all, this is also the middle ground hit by floods.

The emperor barely hesitated for a moment before making his decision.

"Okay, then I will follow what the goddess said and send the traitor here!"

He wanted to say that he was a traitor, but after meeting Acha's stern gaze, he swallowed his words.

Ah Cha saw his reactions.

She secretly felt sorry for Tuoba Jun.

He has been pitiful since birth.

The mother was deceived into falling in love with the father, and then was humiliated to death by her biological father. Even he himself was used as a tool to test poison.

But there is just such a person, who has not grown crooked in such a harsh environment, and he only cares about the common people.

She could only say that the Dog Emperor was not worthy of such a son!

"Just now I heard that the goddess said that I would personally set up an altar to perform the ritual. I wonder how the goddess plans to arrange it? I might as well send people to assist the goddess as soon as possible."

"There is a price to be paid for setting up an altar. Has the emperor thought clearly?"

There is no free lunch in the world. If she didn't take this opportunity to blackmail, she would be really sorry for herself and Tuoba Jun.

"I've thought about it clearly, but it doesn't matter what the goddess said."

Isn't that the price?

As long as it makes him immortal, he doesn't care about anything.

"The emperor needs to fast and purify himself for nine days, kowtow every three steps, kneel down every nine steps, and go from the palace to the Star Building to show his sincerity. At the same time, he will send people to follow the man to the waterside to build an altar there. , and then I will visit the place in person.”

The process is just such a process.

Ah Cha just said it to deliberately embarrass the emperor.

Sure enough, the emperor was still a little hesitant upon hearing this.

"My Lady Goddess, I can do everything else. But if you take three steps and kowtow, and nine steps and kneel down, I'm afraid..."

After all, he is the king of a country. If he goes to Zhaixinglou from the palace to kowtow and kneel in such a big way, then where can he put his face?

"Sincerity leads to success. Since the emperor is not sincere, I don't need to use up my divine power."

Ah Cha is a deliberate provocation method.

She wanted to know how far the emperor would go to achieve immortality.

After hesitating for a long time, the emperor convinced himself in his heart and made up his mind.

"Okay, then I'm willing to do it!"
