From Princess in the Cold Palace to Empress in Heaven

For most cultivators, even those in the saint realm, the elixir of life is a legendary miracle drug.

Legend has it that the elixir of immortality can bring the dead back to life, and turn bones into flesh. Even a saint or a supreme being can gain infinite lifespan after taking it, and live forever with the rest of the world.

"Legend has it that the elixir of life only exists in the forbidden areas of life. One is called the Three Gods Mountain, and the other is called the Three Immortal Islands. There may be elixir of life in these two places."

Ye Ruoshui said.

Therefore, if she wants to obtain the elixir of life, she must go through the forbidden zone of life, which is an impossible task for her.

Moreover, the existence of the elixir of life in the Forbidden Zone of Life is just a legend, and it is still uncertain whether it actually exists.

Moreover, if she went to the restricted area of ​​life, given His Highness's character, he would definitely not sit idly by.

At that time, if His Highness is in danger in the life-forbidden zone, she will be to blame.

This action would cause her to lose her last two relatives in the world at the same time. How could she do such an irrational thing?

"Maybe...Grandpa's life is really over."

Xu Xiuer sighed sadly.

She was well versed in the way of fate. The moment she saw King Wu'an, she began to deduce his fate. How could she not know that her grandfather was really at the end of his rope?

The remaining life span is only a few days.

"Xiu Er..."

Ye Ruoshui wanted to say something but stopped herself. For a moment, she didn't know how to comfort her.

"I'm fine..."

Xu Xiuer wiped her tears, sorted out her thoughts, and slowly asked, "Sister Ruoshui, please tell me what you want to say."

"I..."

Ye Ruoshui pondered for a moment, but finally spoke out, because what she was about to say next might be related to the culprit that caused Prince Wu'an's current situation.

"This is what happened..."

Next, Ye Ruoshui told the princess everything about the interrogation of the Taoist priest in the princess's mansion.

"If what the Taoist said is true, under normal circumstances, King Wu'an should have at least ten more years to live, but the sudden appearance of this so-called national teacher has caused a drastic change in the situation in Daxia, causing King Wu'an's hidden injury to relapse."

Ye Ruoshui concluded.

"What is the origin of that national teacher?"

Xu Xiuer frowned.

"Actually, I came here to ask King Wu'an about the changes in the situation in recent years, but I didn't expect..."

Ye Ruoshui sighed.

"Sister Ruoshui, don't worry. I'll try to deduce it."

Xu Xiuer pondered for a while, then bit her lips lightly and said.

"Xiu'er, is your eye injury okay?"

Ye Ruoshui said worriedly.

"It's okay. I just can't see anything, but my magical powers can be used normally now."

Xu Xiuer smiled, then formed seals with her fingers, drawing mysterious patterns in the air.

After a moment, the patterns disappeared, and then her closed eyes suddenly opened, shining with a brilliant and magical light, illuminating the night sky.

In her vision, everything in the world was like water flowing backwards, constantly retreating.

She saw everything that happened in the court of Xia Kingdom the day before, and saw that King Wu'an was furious.

I saw the Daxia army swearing to go to war, and I saw countless temples and ancestral halls of Xiao Minghuang being torn down.

Seeing a Taoist priest with an immortal appearance appear in the palace of Daxia, and seeing the Emperor of Xia forcing the King of Medicine to refine a pill for him to improve his cultivation...

Everything that happened in Daxia in the past few years appeared in her pupils.

A moment.

The gold in Xu Xiuer's eyes dissipated, and her eyes closed again. Two bright red bloodstains flowed from her eye sockets, looking extremely horrifying.

Her breath suddenly became weak and even her purple palace began to shake. Tiny cracks appeared on her soul, which seemed to be a sign of collapse.

When Ye Ruoshui saw this scene, she couldn't help but exclaimed and supported her.

"Xiu'er, how are you?"

"I..."

Xu Xiuer opened her mouth, but no words came out. Her throat felt sweet and she spat out a mouthful of blood mist.

"Take this pill quickly. It can temporarily slow down the worsening of your injuries and stabilize your spirit." Ye Ruoshui said hurriedly.

As she spoke, she took out a pill and fed it into Xu Xiuer's mouth.

414. Eunuch Wang, how are you?

As the pill entered her stomach, Xu Xiuer immediately felt a warm force spreading throughout her body, repairing her damaged soul and qi sea and nourishing her weak soul.

In just half an incense stick of time, her complexion gradually recovered.

"I feel much better."

Xu Xiuer said, with a solemn look on her face, "This Taoist Siming has a complicated background. If he was just an ordinary saint, I should be able to find out a little bit, but I can't find out anything about his past."

"So, Taoist Siming should be a great sage, or a saint king?"

Ye Ruoshui frowned and said, according to the Taoist priest they captured, Taoist Siming is a saint.

If he is not an ordinary saint, then he is at least a great saint above the third level of the realm of immortality.

"I'm afraid it's more than that."

Xu Xiuer shook her head and added: "I only took a brief peek into his past, and I felt like I was on the edge of an abyss and treading on thin ice. The Great Sage or the Holy King could not give me such heavy pressure."

At this point, she paused and continued, "So, if Taoist Siming has not cultivated the Way of Fate and reached an extremely high level, then there is no doubt that he is at least a quasi-emperor!"

"Quasi Emperor?"

Xu Xiuer smiled bitterly and said, "This is just a conservative estimate."

Hearing this, Ye Ruoshui was slightly surprised.

She was not worried that Xiao Minghuang would be no match for this man. After all, in the Dongling Ancient Tomb, even the Supreme King of Burial died at the hands of His Highness. How could he be afraid of a quasi-emperor?

"...Let's just assume he's a quasi-emperor for now. Why would he come to Daxia and cause trouble?"

Ye Ruoshui looked solemn as he pondered, "Although the entire southern border is now occupied by Daxia, it is just a secular dynasty in a remote borderland. The person with the highest cultivation level is only at the Spiritualization Realm. How could it attract the attention of a Quasi-Emperor?"

Xu Xiuer was also puzzled by this.

"It's hard to say... Is it possible that Taoist Siming came here for Your Highness?"

Xu Xiuer guessed.

"This..." Ye Ruoshui fell silent, and after a moment he slowly said: "At present, this should be the biggest possibility."

In a remote place like the Southern Territory, apart from Xiao Minghuang, there is nothing else worthy of the attention of a strong man like the Quasi-Emperor.

The growth of a quasi-emperor is bound to not happen overnight, and there must be a force behind him.

"In this case, we cannot let His Highness act rashly. If there is really some conspiracy behind this, it will be too dangerous!"

Xu Xiuer emphasized.

In the end, Ye Ruoshui and Xu Xiuer both thought that the situation was getting more serious, so they decided to go to the palace immediately and tell Xiao Minghuang the whole story.

Then, the two came to the palace.

In order to avoid trouble, they did not go in through the main entrance, but found a hidden corner and flew in from the air.

......

Late at night, deep in the palace.

A hunched figure walked quickly on a rarely visited path.

He only took light steps, but his speed was extremely fast, like a trail of afterimage, as he leapt from the tree-shaded path to the roof.

In the blink of an eye, they had crossed most of the imperial palace and were about to leave the palace.

However, at this moment, two slender figures suddenly appeared on the road in front of him.

A slightly chilly female voice rang out in the silent night sky.

"Eunuch Wang, how are you?"

Hearing this familiar voice, the hunchbacked old man suddenly stiffened. He looked up, and when he saw the two graceful figures clearly, his face was full of fear and shock.

"Ye... Miss Ye... Princess Xu... you... what are you doing..."

The old eunuch Wang Jin spoke tremblingly.

The two women who suddenly appeared were Ye Ruoshui and Xu Xiuer who came to the palace to find Xiao Minghuang.

As Emperor Xia went crazy, Wang Jin became more and more uneasy. Today, he heard that there was a commotion deep in the palace, and that the disciples of the Imperial Master had actually demolished the residence of Sect Leader Sheng. He became even more worried.

So, he finally made up his mind to stay away from the chaos and leave the Kingdom of Xia.

But unexpectedly, something unexpected happened on the way out.

Ye Ruoshui and Xu Xiuer had just entered the palace and had not yet had time to go deeper when they ran into an old acquaintance.

"I have to say it, Eunuch Wang, we are really destined to be together!"

Ye Ruoshui raised the corner of her mouth slightly, as if smiling.

"Ye... Miss Ye, what are you talking about? You and the princess are destined to be together for three lifetimes, a match made in heaven. You are really embarrassing me by being so polite to an old eunuch like me."

Wang Jin quickly flattered him.

However, Ye Ruoshui didn't fall for it at all. She raised her hand lightly and a red light burst out from her fingertips. It instantly condensed into a rope that locked his entire body tightly, making him unable to move.

"Stop talking nonsense and tell me the origin of the national teacher and the purpose of his coming to Daxia as soon as possible, and I may spare your life!"

Ye Ruoshui said grimly, murderous intent in her pupils.

Suddenly, Wang Jin fell to the ground as if he had been struck on the head with a stick, and blood oozed from all his seven orifices.

If Ye Ruoshui had not shown mercy after this shout, Wang Jin would probably have died on the spot.

After all, the gap between the Saint Realm and the Yuantai Realm cannot be measured at all.

Wang Jin prostrated herself on the ground, trembling with fear, "Miss Ye, I don't know the true identity of the Imperial Master, but he did bewitch the Emperor, causing the princess's ancestral temple statues to be demolished, but this has nothing to do with me!"

"I am just an old eunuch who knows nothing. I beg Miss Ye to let me go for the sake of our past friendship!"

As he spoke, Wang Jin was already in tears, looking extremely miserable.

Ye Ruoshui watched coldly, ignored him and waited for him to finish speaking.

Wang Jin turned to Xu Xiu'er for help and pleaded, "Princess Xu, please help me and plead for mercy. I have never done anything to let down the prince and the princess!"

Xu Xiuer looked calm and her beautiful eyes stared at Wang Jin, but she said nothing.

Seeing this, Wang Jin's heart skipped a beat, and he secretly sighed that he was so unlucky today. Why did he have to meet these two people?

"Miss Ye, Princess Xu, it's not that I don't want to tell the truth, but when I overheard this matter, the Imperial Master noticed it. In order to prevent me from telling anyone, the Imperial Master placed a ban on my mind. If I say even a word, my Yuantai will explode and I will die on the spot..."

Hearing this, Ye Ruoshui finally reacted, "Oh? Is this true?"

"This is absolutely true!" Wang Jin cried, "I was so busy that my life was in danger that I overheard the plan of the Imperial Master and the Emperor, but was discovered by the Imperial Master. Fortunately, the Emperor was kind and saved my life, but the Imperial Master also banned me from telling anyone about this."

Hearing this, Ye Ruoshui and Xu Xiuer both stared at him, as if to confirm whether he might be lying.

415. A scent that doesn't belong to her

The answer is obvious.

Wang Jin is 100% talking nonsense.

Just now, although Xu Xiuer had deduced many causes and effects of the past, there were still some secrets that were directly related to the national teacher and could not be figured out at all.

And Wang Jin, the old eunuch, had been in the deep palace for many years. According to Xu Xiuer's deduction, he was not abandoned by Emperor Xia. Instead, he became more and more favored. He was even ordered to contact the disciples of Taoist Siming, and his cultivation continued to improve.
