Joy of Life: Starting by clinging to the eldest princess's coattails!

In the servants' quarters, Wu Feng sat cross-legged on the bed, his mind absorbed into the system.

"System, consume 4000 emotion points for four advanced lottery draws."

He silently issued the command in his mind.

[Ding~ 4000 emotion points deducted, lottery in progress...]

A pale blue light screen flashed rapidly before my eyes, and after a moment, the lottery results appeared.

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Advanced True Qi Pill x1]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the light-footwork technique "Phoenix Dance of Three Illusions"]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained the one-time skill "Shifting Stars"]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Advanced True Qi Pill x1]

After the lottery ended, he looked at the introduction to the advanced version of the True Qi Pill. It was an enhanced version of the regular True Qi Pill; the description was indeed concise…

His attention then focused primarily on the Phoenix Dance Three Illusions and the Shifting Stars.

With a thought, the introduction to the Three Illusions of Phoenix Dance appeared before my eyes.

Phoenix Dance in Three Illusions:

In The Legend of Qin, Bai Feng's signature move when she was part of the "Nightfall" Hundred Birds Assassin Group is a high-speed movement that creates three afterimages. It is mainly used for short-range confusion and surprise attacks, focusing on restraint and probing.

"Finally, I have lightness skill!" Wu Feng was overjoyed. "Luckily, it's not the higher-level Phoenix Dance Six Illusions. With my current true energy, I'm afraid I can't withstand that kind of consumption."

Then, he looked at the shifting stars.

Shifting Stars (One-Time Skill): A miraculous technique of swapping objects from a distance. The caster must first leave a specific mark on the target object, and then can swap the marked object with any inanimate object within a five-kilometer radius. Note: Only applicable to inanimate objects.

After reading the introduction, Wu Feng's breathing became slightly rapid.

He had just been thinking about taking Ye Qingmei's body away that morning, and now he had drawn the "Shifting Stars" card.

This system... is trying to incite him to cause trouble in a roundabout way.

Unfortunately, this is a one-time skill; once it's used, it's gone.

But that's enough.

Wu Feng's eyes flickered.

If done properly, Ye Qingmei's body could disappear, even right in front of Emperor Qing...

From then on, His Majesty the Emperor will probably never get a good night's sleep!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but curl a slightly cold smile at the corner of his mouth.

However, the prerequisite for using the Star Shift technique is to leave that specific "mark" on Ye Qingmei.

With another thought, a round, transparent sphere the size of a longan appeared in his palm.

These are the markers provided by the system.

"We need to find a way to put this on Ye Qingmei..." Wu Feng stroked the sphere, his brows furrowing slightly. "This is a bit troublesome."

The side hall of Changle Palace is now heavily guarded.

But Emperor Qing will need at least a few more days to return to the capital, so he still has time.

"Improve my strength first." Wu Feng calmed his mind, sat cross-legged, and took out the two advanced True Qi Pills.

The pill entered the mouth and transformed into a warm current several times more powerful than that of an ordinary Qi Pill, which then exploded out with a bang.

Wu Feng immediately focused his mind and circulated his Qi, guiding this vast true Qi to surge and refine within his meridians.

He could clearly feel his meridians being slowly widened under the influence of true qi, and his dantian was becoming increasingly full and solid.

About half an hour later, a slight sound came from inside the body.

Fourth rank!

His cultivation level naturally broke through to the fourth rank!

Wu Feng slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air, which was much longer and more profound than before.

He pondered it carefully.

The effect of one advanced True Qi Pill is about ten times that of the regular version, and nine advanced True Qi Pills are needed to break through to the fifth rank.

"It hasn't been that long since I started cultivating..." he thought to himself, clicking his tongue in amazement.

If word got out about this speed, it would definitely attract the covetous eyes of countless people.

Fortunately, he was in Guangxin Palace, living a secluded life, so as long as he didn't make a move easily, his cultivation level wouldn't be easily exposed.

"System, learn Phoenix Dance Three Illusions," he murmured again.

In an instant, a flood of information about movement techniques, the use of internal energy, and the creation of afterimages rushed into his mind, as if it were an innate instinct, deeply imprinted in the depths of his consciousness.

He felt his body become lighter, as if he could float away at any moment.

Looking at the remaining 220 emotion points on the system panel, Wu Feng smiled helplessly.

"The revolution is not yet complete, we still need to cling to the powerful figures..."

After meditating and regulating his breathing for about an hour, feeling the newly added true energy in his body gradually stabilize and the soreness in his body relieved by most, Wu Feng got up and left the servants' quarters, heading towards the sleeping quarters.

He needs to go check if Li Yunrui has woken up yet.

It wasn't until past mid-Shenshi (3-5 PM) that a faint sound came from inside the sleeping quarters.

Li Yunrui slept very soundly and peacefully, without even having a dream.

When I woke up, I felt completely refreshed, and the pent-up frustration and irritability that had been building up in my heart for days seemed to have dissipated considerably.

Their skin had a radiant glow, as if they had just had a good night's sleep.

"Your Highness, you're awake?" Chunmei, who had been keeping watch by the bedside, immediately stepped forward and carefully helped her sit up.

"Hmm..." Li Yunrui responded lazily. Her gaze swept around the hall. "Where's Xiao Wuzi?"

"He's waiting outside the hall," Chunmei replied softly, walking to the side and picking up a clean set of clothes that had been prepared beforehand. "Should I call him in?"

"Help me with my hair and makeup first," Li Yunrui said, her voice returning to its usual gentle tone.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Chunmei quickly dressed her in palace attire, then helped her sit at the dressing table, combed her hair, tied it up, put on pearl hairpins, and applied a light layer of makeup.

Throughout the entire process, Li Yunrui kept her eyes closed and remained calm, as if the out-of-control madness of the morning had never happened.

About fifteen minutes later, after the makeup was finished, the door to the bedchamber was gently opened.

Wu Feng, who had been waiting outside, immediately stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Highness."

Li Yunrui then lifted her eyelids and glanced at him indifferently, her gaze calm and unwavering, revealing no sign of anything amiss.

She gave a soft "Mmm" in her voice: "I'm hungry."

"The meal has been prepared. Please, Your Highness, proceed to the flower hall." Wu Feng quickly stepped aside to lead the way.

Chunmei stepped forward and gently supported Li Yunrui's arm.

Wu Feng followed behind the two, watching Li Yunrui's steady steps and dignified demeanor, and couldn't help but mutter to himself:

"Walking so steadily? This crazy woman... is she in such good physical condition?"

Upon arriving at the flower hall, a selection of delicate and light dishes were already laid out on the table.

Li Yunrui ate some porridge and steamed fish, and seemed to have a good appetite.

After finishing her meal, she took the hot tea that Chunmei offered, took a small sip, and then asked, "What's the situation outside...?"

Chunmei lowered her voice and replied:

"Your Highness, the capital is in complete chaos. The Censorate has mobilized all its forces and is investigating the Taihei Villa incident with all its might."

"I believe it won't be long before Dean Chen Pingping leads the Black Riders back to the capital, traveling day and night. His Majesty and Fan Jian's carriages should be arriving soon as well."

Upon hearing this, Li Yunrui's lips slowly curved into a charming smile, but a hint of interest flashed in her eyes.

"Hmm...this is so much fun." She drew out her voice, with a unique softness and charm. "Ye Qingmei is my good sister...the people in the Surveillance Bureau are working hard investigating cases, we can't let them investigate for too long and delay our important business."

"This servant understands." Chunmei immediately bowed and replied, getting the message across.

Wu Feng listened from the side and understood.

Li Yunrui was planning to "help" the Censorate by secretly revealing some clues pointing to the Empress Dowager, the Empress, and even those old nobles.
