Liu Yaoyao's life, ever since that sudden emotional crisis was resolved, has become even more brilliant than the peach blossoms in spring.

Every day she plays with the group of little animals in the backyard who are spoiled and have no law to obey.

Just researching some novel snacks.

He tried to conquer Ling Chenyu's picky stomach with delicious food, and at the same time conquer his heart.

As for Ling Chenyu, since the backyard has been at peace, the former dynasty seems to have become more complacent.

When he was reviewing official documents, the corners of his mouth unconsciously raised. Even the ministers were discussing privately, saying that Lord Ling might have secretly drunk some "Shunxinlu" recently.

However, as the old saying goes, life is a play, and it all depends on your acting skills, plus a few unpredictable plot twists.

Suddenly, the old emperor’s big show came to a sudden halt and he fell ill.

Moreover, he fell ill at "just right", neither too early nor too late, just when Liu Yaoyao and Ling Chenyu were enjoying their sweet life.

When Liu Yaoyao heard the news, her first reaction was.

"Oh, has the old emperor finally remembered to retire? He should have done so long ago, so that he wouldn't have to worry about state affairs every day and tire himself out."

Although she said this unintentionally, it still made the little maid beside her stunned and thought to herself.

"The princess is so generous."

The old emperor was lying on the bed, his face as pale as paper, but at this moment he remembered Ling Chenyu's "encounter with the fairy".

It is said that Ling Chenyu was seriously injured and difficult to treat, but he met a mysterious immortal in an accident.

Not only did it cure his leg disease, but it also gave him extraordinary wisdom and courage.

The old emperor was lying on the bed at this moment, breathing barely a breath, but there was a strange light flashing in his eyes.

It was as if he saw Ling Chenyu finding a god for him, allowing him to live a hundred years and unify the Yunling Continent.

So, for several days in a row, Ling Chenyu was urgently summoned into the palace.

Facing the old emperor's oppressive and expectant eyes, he simply repeated the half-true and half-false experience of "encountering the fairy" with exaggeration.

From the fairyland shrouded in clouds and mist to the immortals with chivalrous demeanor.

Then he talked about how the immortal brought the patient back to life, and finally added a few inspirational stories about how he studied sincerely and finally won the favor of the immortal.

After Liu Yaoyao learned about this, she laughed so hard that she fell backwards, and was full of admiration for Ling Chenyu's ability to make up stories.

"You're not meeting a fairy, you're just participating in a drama competition about 'How I became the emperor's confidant'!"

she teased.

Ling Chenyu looked helpless, yet looked at her with a bit of doting, thinking to himself.

"In this harem, only you can be so free and unfettered, making me happy."

As for the old emperor, after listening to Ling Chenyu's "wonderful story", he miraculously became a little more energetic.

It was as if I really saw the hope of living a long life.

As the old emperor firmly believed in Ling Chenyu's experience of "encountering the immortal", various magical legends about Ling Chenyu began to spread in the court.

Some say he can call the wind and rain, others say he can predict the fate of a nation by observing the stars at night.

What's more, some say that he can communicate with ghosts and gods and solve human problems.

Although these rumors were absurd, they invisibly cast a veil of mystery over Ling Chenyu, making his prestige among the officials grow.

When Liu Yaoyao heard these rumors, she laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back, and she teased Ling Chenyu in private.

"Brother, you are now even busier than the real gods. Not only do you have to govern the country, but you also have to deal with all kinds of gods."

Upon hearing this, Ling Chenyu just smiled bitterly and shook his head.

He knew that these rumors were nothing but the imagination of bored people.

But sometimes, these rumors can save him a lot of trouble, or at least make those with bad intentions more respectful of him.

However, the good times did not last long, and the old emperor's health deteriorated.

In the court, the air seemed to have solidified into ice chips.

Every breath was accompanied by whispers of an undercurrent. Various forces lurked around like hungry wolves, their eyes flickering with desire for the feast of power that was about to begin.

However, in the center of this storm, the old emperor seemed like an obstinate old boy.

Not only did he refuse to give up his seat, but he also started playing a game of "cat and mouse".

He summoned Ling Chenyu into the palace again and again, and even summoned Liu Yaoyao into the palace as a hostage.

Liu Yaoyao, the sudden "hostage", added a bit of drama to this game of power.

The day she entered the palace, the sun was shining and the breeze was not dry, but it just happened to stir up the dusty memories in the old emperor's heart.

"Oh my, isn't this the apple of my Ninth Emperor's eye?"

When the old emperor saw Liu Yaoyao, his eyes lit up instantly, as if he had seen some rare treasure.

Then he whispered to the old eunuch beside him.

"Li Bao, when Jiuzi came back a few years ago and presented him with the divine water, did he say it was a gift from the gods to his princess?"

Li Bao, the old eunuch who had accompanied the old emperor for decades.

Hearing this, he quickly bent down, with a hint of piety in his voice.

"Your Majesty is wise, and I remember clearly that the Ninth Prince said exactly that at the time."

The old emperor's expression immediately changed and he threatened Liu Yaoyao.

"Hand over that magical water quickly so I can have a taste!"

Liu Yaoyao stood in the center of the hall, completely confused by this sudden change.

Then he reacted and secretly complained in his heart.

"This old man is really old at heart, and he still dreams of living a long life!"

But she remained expressionless and pretended to be surprised.

"Alas, Your Majesty, you are really embarrassing me. I have already offered you the magic water. This magic water is hard to come by, and I have never met it again."

The old emperor's eyes, which had seen all the vicissitudes of life, were half-closed at this moment.

Like a cunning old fox, he glanced back and forth at Liu Yaoyao.

It was as if he wanted to see through her skin and see whether there was anything hidden deep in her soul.

After a while, a meaningful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, as if he recognized Liu Yaoyao's "sincerity".

"Puchi-"

A light laugh broke the solemnity in the hall; the old emperor's laughter was mixed with a bit of pampering and helplessness.

"Girl, your mouth is as sweet as honey, and you are always good at making excuses.

But I like your cleverness, which is much more interesting than those ministers who can only kowtow like crazy."

As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, as if he was saying.

"Forget it, forget it. I am a magnanimous person and will not bother with a little girl like you."

Then, he changed the subject and added in a serious tone.

"But you have to remember this clearly. If one day you really encounter a good thing like pie in the sky, such as getting some treasure like magic water, don't forget to leave a portion for me! Otherwise, I will not forgive you!"

Upon hearing this, Liu Yaoyao secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't show it on her face. Instead, she pouted her lips in a wronged manner.

"Your Majesty, you are wrongly accusing me.

If I were really that lucky, I would not hide it and would definitely send it to you as soon as possible.

After all, being able to make Your Majesty happy is my greatest blessing!"

As she spoke, she blinked her big eyes that seemed to be able to speak.

The innocent and flattering little look instantly made the old emperor in a good mood and he couldn't help laughing again.

"Hahaha, what a sharp-tongued mouth!

I like your personality, straightforward but tactful. Okay, you can leave and go accompany Concubine Ning.

I am a little tired today, so I won’t keep you here to accompany an old man like me.”

Upon hearing this, Liu Yaoyao bowed quickly and performed a standard court etiquette.

A triumphant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he thought to himself:.

"This old man is quite difficult to deal with. Fortunately, I am very smart and easily resolved the crisis."

Then, she turned around lightly and walked out of the hall with cheerful steps, leaving behind a string of silver bell-like laughter echoing in the empty hall.

The old emperor looked at her departing back, an imperceptible deep meaning flashed in his eyes, and he thought secretly in his heart.

"This girl is not simple. It seems that I have to pay close attention to her movements."
