Troubled times: Start practicing spiritual practice by taking care of your sister-in-law.

As a result, Yu Wenyun became hostile towards all of Dongfang Hao's children who were not her own.

Originally, the person she was most hostile to was the Third Prince. After all, not only did his mother's family have a strong character, he also had a high talent for cultivation. Most importantly, he was also a man, and he had many ministers in Daxuan who supported him.

That’s right, although both the prince and princess of Daxuan have the opportunity to inherit the throne.

But compared to the prince, the princess still has some advantages.

But some time ago, Dongfang Hao actually intended to marry the Thirteenth Princess to the Prince of Wu.

Who is King Wu?

He is the only king of a different surname who has been enthroned in the Daxuan Dynasty in the past ten thousand years. Although he has no military power, his strength has reached the peak of the sixth realm. Some people even predict that King Wu will be the first among the current sixth-realm powerhouses in Daxuan to enter the seventh realm, and he will have a very important say in the court.

If the Thirteenth Princess was with Prince Wu, wouldn't that mean that Prince Wu was on the side of the Thirteenth Princess?

The Thirteenth Princess was born with a spiritual body. Yu Wenyun could foresee that if this marriage went through, it would be a huge threat to the eldest and second sons. How could their mother feel at ease?

Husband and wife are one, so Dongfang Hao naturally knew what Yu Wenyun was thinking, and said, "It was the Prince of Wu who took a fancy to Little Thirteen. The Prince of Wu has made outstanding contributions to Daxuan, so I intend to marry Little Thirteen to the Prince of Wu."

Yu Wenyun's expression changed when she heard this, and the slender fingers holding the spoon tightened a little. Obviously, she didn't expect there was such a connection. Her heart tightened, because if this happened, the matter would be difficult to handle.

"It seems that the Queen doesn't know yet." Dongfang Hao was also a little surprised when he saw Yu Wenyun's expression. The Queen's followers were almost all over the court, and there were things that she didn't know. He immediately said, "But Xiao Shisan rejected me, saying that she already had a lover."

After saying that, Dongfang Hao continued to drink the meat porridge.

"what?!"

Yu Wenyun was startled.

"But I haven't done what Xiao Shisan wants. I just want him to bring that person to meet me." Dongfang Hao said again.

Yu Wenyun was shocked, her mood was like a roller coaster, up and down.

Dongfang Hao said that it was not what Xiao Shisan wanted, which showed that he was still inclined to arrange a marriage with Prince Wu.

"May I ask, Your Majesty, who is Xiao Shisan's sweetheart?" Yu Wenyun couldn't help but ask.

Yu Wenyun's reaction was exactly what Dongfang Hao wanted to see. Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly sensed something, raised his head and laughed, "It just so happens that the person has arrived. Queen, please follow me to meet him."

Dongfang Hao just raised his hand, and the two of them disappeared in the queen's bedroom.

Flying is prohibited over Yujing City, so after Chen Mo and his party arrived in Yujing City, they could only walk into the city.

Yujing City is divided into four streets: Qinglong, Zhuque, Xuanwu and Baihu, and 108 markets. As soon as Chen Mo and his party stepped into Zhuque Street, they heard the morning drum. The road surface paved with red flame stone was warm. The shops on both sides of the street had just removed the green wooden gates. The four words "Talisman Divine Weapon" on the gilded plaque were still stained with night dew. The shopkeeper in cloud-patterned brocade clothes was directing the puppet men to move the newly arrived goods.

It was only daybreak, but the streets were bustling with people.

Chen Mo looked at the scene in front of him and felt that his capital was like a small mountain village compared to Yujing City, with a world of difference.

At this moment, a long sound came from behind them. Three floating ships were passing through the defense formation of Yujing City. The crystal balls embedded in the bows of the ships created ripples on the barrier. After entering the city, they flew straight towards the imperial city in the sky.

Chen Mo was stunned: "Didn't they say that flying over Yujing City is prohibited?"

"That is a treasure ship that transports goods to the palace. It has a pass." Dongfang Nishang said with a smile.

Chen Mo nodded. The novelty of Yujing City made him forget for a moment the "danger" he was about to face.

"Brother Feng Qi, let's go to Jieying Pavilion." Mu Yuanji said.

Flying is prohibited over Yujing City, except for some special existences. If you want to go to the imperial palace above Yujing City, you must go to the Jieying Pavilion in the center of the city. After confirming your identity, you will be brought into the palace by the eunuchs.

Even the ministers who attended the morning court had to go through this procedure every day.

"no need."

Feng Qi, who had been silent all the way, raised his eyebrows and smiled.

Dongfang Nishang and Mu Yuanji were stunned.

Huang Yi, however, felt something slightly.

The next second, they felt a powerful energy enveloping them and unable to move.

"Relax." Feng Qi said when he saw Huang Yi and Chen Mo fighting desperately.

As Feng Qi finished speaking, Chen Mo felt dizzy. The prosperous and lively scene in front of him disappeared in an instant, and was replaced by a solemn and magnificent hall. They were in the hall, and two men and women who were obviously of noble status were looking at them kindly.

"I have met Your Majesty, the Queen."

"Your son greets His Majesty, Father, and Your Majesty the Queen"

Dongfang Nishang and Mu Yuanji, who were beside Chen Mo, hurriedly saluted the man and woman in front of them.

"He is Emperor Xuan!" Chen Mo's face was shocked. The man in front of him was wearing a purple and gold robe without any patterns on it. His age and appearance were similar to Dongfang Nishang. He didn't expect him to be Emperor Xuan.

What happened just now should be the teleportation technique unique to the seventh realm strongmen.

And this should be the imperial palace, right?

"Dongfang, I haven't seen you for a thousand years, but you are still as charming as ever." Feng Qi said with a smile. If he wanted, his appearance could return to that of his youth, but he didn't care about that, so he let the years leave their marks on his body.

There are many people like Feng Qi in the Tianxing Realm.

"Haha, no wonder there was a magpie singing last night. It turned out to be Brother Feng Qi. What a rare guest." Dongfang Hao laughed loudly. He was very surprised when he sensed Feng Qi's arrival.

"I'm here with two younger generations, and I'll meet some old friends." Feng Qi said with a smile.

"Oh." Dongfang Hao looked at Huang Yi and Chen Mo.

"Huang Yi of the Chiyuan Clan greets His Majesty the Emperor Xuan and His Majesty the Empress." Huang Yi bowed to Dongfang Hao, then pointed to Chen Mo standing beside her and said, "This is my disciple Chen Mo."

"My name is Chen Mo, and I am honored to meet His Majesty the Emperor Xuan and His Majesty the Empress." Chen Mo followed suit, showing a respectful expression. When his eyes swept across the brows of the two, he couldn't help but think in his heart that he was worthy of being the emperor of the Great Xuan Dynasty. His power was stronger than Feng Qi. After all, he was one of the seven major forces, so his foundation was strong.

Xuanhuang is 14000099.

The queen is 8019990.

"It turns out to be Fairy Huang Yi. I've long heard of you." Even Dongfang Hao, who had seen countless beauties, was dazzled the moment he saw Huang Yi.

As for Chen Mo, he just nodded lightly and said nothing else.

However, Yu Wenyun's gaze lingered on Chen Mo for a long time.

"It's him?"

The matter of the ancient ruins was a hot topic, and she had also heard of Chen Mo, the most prominent figure among the ancient ruins.

Is he the one Xiao Shisan loves?

No wonder Xiao Shisan helped him resolve the crisis outside the ruins. "But didn't I hear that Chen Mo was not valued by the Chiyuan tribe, and was abandoned by the Chiyuan tribe's chief elder in public? But what's going on now?" Feng Qi's previous words "accompany the two juniors here" immediately made Yu Wenyun think that Feng Qi came here to support Chen Mo and escort him.

This level of importance is different from what has been rumored.

Yu Wenyun's mood became even worse, because the Chiyuan tribe was much stronger than King Wu.

If Chen Mo and Xiao Shisan were together.

Isn't this a greater threat than granting a marriage to the Prince of King Wu?

Although she felt complicated, she did not show it openly as she was in a high position.

"Your Majesty is too kind." Huang Yi responded calmly.

Dongfang Hao smiled and said nothing more. Although he was puzzled in his heart, he only asked Xiao Shisan to bring Chen Mo to meet him, so why did Feng Qi and Huang Yi come as well? Could it be that Chen Mo's status in Chiyuan was not ordinary? However, Feng Qi was right next to him, so he couldn't ask Mu Yuanji directly, nor could he sense Huang Yi and Chen Mo openly. He just looked at Feng Qi and said, "When old friends meet again, everything should be clear."

"It should be so." Feng Qi said with a smile.

Dongfang Haolang smiled and said, "Little Thirteen, entertain Fairy Huang Yi and her disciples for me." Then he said to Feng Qi, "Brother Feng Qi, please."

Feng Qi was not polite.

"Yuan Ji, come with us." Dongfang Hao said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Mu Yuanji also followed.

"Chen Mo, Fairy Huang Yi, please follow me." After watching Dongfang Hao and the others leave, Dongfang Nishang looked at Chen Mo and Huang Yi and led them to the palace's reception tea room.

In the tea room.

"Enlightenment tea." Huang Yi took a sip of the hot tea poured by Dongfang Nishang, her eyes slightly condensed.

The so-called enlightenment tea is tea brewed with the leaves of the enlightenment tree. It is extremely precious. The background of the Daxuan royal family is indeed too powerful. Instead of keeping such a precious thing for themselves, they actually used it to entertain guests.

Of course, no matter how precious it is, at her current level, she cannot achieve enlightenment by just drinking a few sips of the enlightenment tea; she needs to drink it for a long time.

Chen Mo, on the other hand, was like a cow chewing a peony. He sipped his lips and didn't feel that there was anything different about the tea.

"Tell me, what exactly are you looking for Chen Mo for?"

Huang Yi had wanted to ask this question for a long time, but she had never found the opportunity. Just now in the hall, although the atmosphere was harmonious, she always felt something was weird. Now she finally couldn't help it.

Dongfang Nishang glanced at Chen Mo, then bit her red lips. After hesitating for a moment, she took out the "Glowing Orb" tied to her hair bun, set it up in the tea room, and then began to tell Huang Yi about it.

"Snapped."

After hearing this, Huang Yi was so angry that she slammed the table, and the enlightenment tea in the cup spilled out. She said angrily: "You are harming him."

As she spoke, she stood up and said to Chen Mo, "Chen Mo, let's go."

Huang Yi was very angry. Although she had a feeling that Dongfang Nishang's search for Chen Mo was not a good thing, she kept thinking about the things Chen Mo had obtained. She never expected that the matter would be so serious.

According to the laws of Daxuan, if Chen Mo really did what Dongfang Nishang said, it would be a crime of deceiving the emperor, which is very serious.

There is also the possibility of offending King Wu.

Dongfang Nishang did not stop him. She felt uncomfortable, especially when Huang Yi said that to her face, which made her feel even more guilty towards Chen Mo.

But Chen Mo didn't move.

He sighed softly: "Teacher, I'm here now."

"Do you know the seriousness of this matter? If you are not careful, you will be deeply trapped in the quagmire of their power struggle and unable to extricate yourself." Hearing Chen Mo's words, Huang Yi was angry with Chen Mo for the first time and spoke coldly.

Chen Mo nodded: "Teacher, I know, but His Highness has done me a favor, and I have to repay him."

As soon as these words came out, Huang Yi froze instantly. She recalled what the Great Elder had done to Chen Mo outside the ancient ruins. If Dongfang Nishang hadn't helped her, she would have been...
Heartache and guilt filled her heart again. If she had been strong enough to protect Chen Mo at that time, none of the things happening now would have happened.

She sat down again and looked at Dongfang Nishang with a less kind look than before. She said, "After this incident, your kindness to Chen Mo has been fulfilled. Don't look for him again in the future."

Dongfang Nishang's identity destined her to carry too much in her life. If Chen Mo was too deeply involved with her, he would always be in danger.

"Fairy Huangyi, don't worry." Dongfang Nishang knew what to do without Huangyi telling her.

"I will go find my grandfather later and ask him to help keep it a secret. I hope Emperor Xuan won't ask him about it now." Huang Yi's face was solemn.

Dongfang Nishang was also worried.

It was unknown how much time had passed before Dongfang Nishang sensed someone approaching outside the teahouse.

After Dongfang Nishang put away the "Glowing Orb", an eunuch's voice rang out: "Your Highness the Thirteenth Prince, His Majesty has summoned you."

"Fairy Huangyi, Chen Mo, please wait here for a moment. I'll be back soon." Dongfang Nishang took a deep breath, stood up and walked outside.

About an hour later, Dongfang Nishang came back.

When she looked at Chen Mo, her pretty face flushed and she was too embarrassed to speak.

"Your Highness, what's wrong?" Chen Mo said.

"My father had a good impression of you, but he did not agree to our request immediately. Instead, he asked someone to find the Prince of Wu and ask his opinion. But the Prince of Wu did not want to give up, so he told my father that he wanted to compete with you. My father and Elder Qi also agreed." The more Dongfang Nishang spoke, the lower her voice became, and at the end, her voice was almost as loud as a mosquito.

"Grandfather didn't tell you that Chen Mo already has a wife and children?" Huang Yi asked in surprise.

"Probably not said." Dongfang Nishang said.

"In other words, your fate will be determined by victory or defeat?" Chen Mo frowned.

Dongfang Nishang nodded with a red face. Although Chen Mo's words were a bit direct, the meaning was almost the same.

Huang Yi saw that there was still a chance to turn things around, and her face lit up with joy. She said to Chen Mo, "Then you will just lose to the Prince of Wu, and this matter will be over."

Dongfang Nishang pondered for a while and agreed with what Huang Yi said. Just as she was about to speak, Chen Mo said, "If that's the case, then it would be a waste of time, and the deception has already happened."

Chen Mo shook his head and asked immediately, "What realm is the prince of Wu Wang at?"

"Quasi-Lingxu realm." Dongfang Nishang said in a deep voice.

Lingxu Realm, the realm after Linglun Realm, is the fourth realm of spiritual cultivation.

The quasi-Lingxu realm means that the prince of Wu has not fully entered the Lingxu realm, but has mastered some of the methods of the strong people in the Lingxu realm, which is much stronger than the perfection of the three realms.

Chen Mo was stunned after hearing this.

Ah, isn't this the so-and-so half-step realm that often appears in novels? (End of this chapter)
