I, the ninth grade county magistrate, scare the empress to tears at the beginning!

Baidi looked at the eight divine weapons in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Tonight is the night of the full moon, and he plans to try again to see if he can gain the power from it.

He sat in the courtyard, with the sacred artifacts placed around him, and Baidi sitting in the middle.

He saw the finger gestures of his hands changing, and with the help of the moonlight, he felt the power of the artifact was continuously gathering towards him.

Soon, it reached the peak.

Baidi could feel a huge amount of power surging into his body.

Just as he was immersed in such a joyful moment, the power suddenly backfired, and the power that had originally entered his body was instantly sucked back.

No matter how Baidi tried to stop him and cut off the connection, it was of no use at all.

Baidi's face looked very ugly. He kept shaking his head and muttering to himself.

"How could this be possible? This is not right, there is definitely something wrong!"

He racked his brains but couldn't figure out the trick.

After thinking for a while, Baidi realized that it was because the extra power in his body could not harmonize itself that he collided with each other.

He is a pure yang body, and the divine weapon is something that is the intersection of yin and yang. Once it enters a pure yang body, it cannot achieve a balance, which is why this happens.

Thinking of this, Bai Di became more certain that Lu Yuan was not deceiving him. No wonder he had never had such an idea. So that's it.

Just to obtain such power, he would have to give up his complete body and become crippled, which he naturally was unwilling to do.

But what should he do next? He was also struggling. He hadn't made up his mind yet and didn't plan to make a rash decision. He had to wait and see!
Bai Di did not continue to stay in the imperial capital, but went to other places, intending to seek a solution. He was unwilling to give up until he reached the point where he had no other choice.

Since returning to Qinghe County, Ji Xinyue has always been melancholy and worried about Jiang Linglong.

Seeing that she looked worried, Tao Mei, the little girl beside her, spoke up.

"Madam has been worried, are you worried about His Majesty?"

Ji Xinyue nodded and answered truthfully.

"Yes, I am worried about her current situation. I even feel that I am a bit too selfish. I only think about myself and don't think about what she is facing now. Maybe I should have stayed!"

"She is still so young, and she has to face such a big trouble. I am worried that she can't handle it alone. I am too selfish as a mother!"

Seeing this, Tao Mei hurriedly tried to persuade him.

"Madam, you have your own unspeakable secrets. Being in a place like that is also a torture for you. Once His Highness knows about it, he will not let you stay any longer!"

"She is a very filial person. How could she watch you suffer in the palace? Besides, we still have Lord Lu. He will definitely help His Majesty. Madam, don't worry!"

After hearing what she said, Ji Xinyue's mood instantly improved a lot, and she was no longer as conflicted as before.

She let out a long sigh, nodded, and responded.

"Yes, with Lu Yuan here, Linglong won't be in any danger!"

While the two were talking, Lu Yuan's three wives arrived.

They also heard what Tao Mei said and planned to come over to persuade her. "With your husband here, Madam, don't worry. He can enter and exit the underworld freely, which is enough to show how strong he is. Linglong is the empress of our Great Zhou, and your husband is her brother-in-law. He will definitely not sit idly by!"

Lin'er came over, took Ji Xinyue's hand and comforted her.

"Yes, with her husband here, Linglong will be fine. Besides, she knows some Kung Fu, and she is quite capable, so there won't be any problem!"

With their constant persuasion and comfort, Ji Xinyue's mood instantly improved a lot, and she was no longer as conflicted as before.

"After all, she is my own biological daughter, so I am somewhat worried. But after you guys finish talking, I have nothing to worry about."

Before leaving, Lu Yuan specifically told them to visit Ji Xinyue often.

Jiang Linglong is now the empress of the Great Zhou. As a mother, she is naturally very worried and has no way to control the joy in her heart. It is normal for her to behave like this!
On the other side, the prince asked someone to bring Ying'er over.

Seeing that her injuries were almost healed, the prince smiled.

"Yes, you have recovered well. Now you can continue to stay by my side and serve me. I think you should know what to do next, right?"

Faced with the question, Ying'er nodded and responded.

"I understand. But if I go back like this now, I'm afraid the prince will be suspicious and think I have other intentions."

The prince has already thought of a solution to this problem.

"Don't worry about this. I've already thought of a solution. You just need to do as I say. You're the one who saved my life, so you deserve some privileges. How could my uncle doubt it?"

"You just need to control your mouth and know what to say and what not to say. That's what you need to do. Don't forget your current situation!"

The prince's words were gentle, but full of threats.

Ying'er also knows her current situation. Many things are beyond her control. She can only bow her head and accept her fate!
Helplessly, she could only nod and respond.

"I know, Your Highness, please rest assured!"

Seeing her humble and submissive appearance, the prince understood that Ying'er was also a scheming person and not as obedient and docile as she appeared to be. Otherwise, the prince's uncle would not have chosen to let her stay by his side.

Thinking of this, the prince knew that he had to do something. Threats alone were useless, and he had to put forward certain conditions. Only by seducing Ying'er would she be willing to do things for him.

He curled his lips, thought of a good idea, and hooked his finger at Ying'er.

"Come to me."

Ying'er raised her head and looked at her, not understanding what she meant, but still stood up obediently and walked over.

When she walked to the prince, he suddenly raised his hand, pinched her chin, and looked at her carefully.

"I have to admit that you are indeed very good-looking and very attractive to me, but you are from the emperor's uncle's side. No matter how much I like you, there is no way that our relationship can develop!"

Ying'er was not stupid either. When she heard this, she immediately understood what it meant.

She shook her head and spoke firmly.

"That was only before. Now I have become His Highness's man!" (End of this chapter)
