Survive, the rules of rebirth for the villain witch

"I cannot afford to offend the power of the Marquis of Wushen Mansion in Fuguang."

Gu Xi is not so crazy as to lose his self-awareness. Putting aside the strength of the Wushen Marquis Mansion, he has witnessed Youhuang's methods with his own eyes, and he is not strong enough to challenge them at the moment.

"Of course we can't do it ourselves. We can let the Empress do it." The female official stepped forward and said, "According to what the Empress said, the strength of the Marquis of Wushen Mansion has always made the royal family very wary. Now because Chu Youhuang is related to the immortals, His Majesty may not say anything on the surface, but I'm afraid he must be having trouble sleeping and eating behind the scenes."

"Your Majesty cannot touch Chu Youhuang."

Gu Xi slowly turned around, revealing a face that looked much younger and a little ghostly.

The female official suddenly met Gu Xi's deep blood-red eyes and couldn't help but gasp. She didn't expect that practicing magic could restore youth.

"It's not the point that they are in a state of turmoil. The point is to make them turn against each other." The female official's tone was a little arrogant. Gu Xi smiled coldly: "You are always used to treating national affairs as trivial matters of women in the harem fighting for favor, thinking that those in power will turn a deaf ear to such trivial matters."

"You..." The female official didn't expect to be scolded.

"Go back and tell Her Majesty that her methods are no match for her absolute strength."

"How dare you." Facing Gu Xi's contempt, the female official was a little angry: "The Empress Diji has been planning for many years, how can you question it?"

Gu Xi was not angry either, he smiled contemptuously: "Without the help of the army, no matter how many means we use, they will be short-lived. Instead, they will find an excuse to wipe out the Emperor Ji Mansion in one fell swoop."

"The poison we have carefully cultivated for many years can easily destroy the combat effectiveness of the army." The female official still maintained a condescending attitude.

"Your poison can't stand the test of fire." Gu Xi hinted that the poison had been burned by Chu Youhuang. He said calmly, "Marquis Wushen has been having people research a way to remove the poison. Success is only a matter of time. If you don't have a better way, tell the Empress Diji not to act rashly."

"You won't avenge Jun Ji and Ling Sun?"

The female official brought up the old topic again, saying that the two families were able to come together only because their family members had died in unclear circumstances.

Gu Xi smiled contemptuously: "Don't deceive yourself. The death of the two children has nothing to do with Chu Youhuang. If you don't find the enemy hiding in the dark, your plan will never succeed."

"Except Chu Youhuang, no one can kill without leaving any trace." The female official firmly believed that Empress Diji could not be wrong.

"Chu Youhuang didn't kill anyone, but she knows the murderer's method of killing." Gu Xi said with a smile: "I believe in the power of the mysterious law, but I also believe that the human heart is more mysterious than the mysterious law."

It was useless for Qing Zhiqiang to pin the blame on Chu Youhuang and make Gu Xi stand on the same front with them.

After thinking about it for a while, the female official said, "How do you explain the two murders that happened in Gongxue, the death of Captain Lu's family, and Captain Lin being almost dragged into the mercury mirror?"

When talking about the three cases, Gu Xi hesitated and said, "Unless I see Cui Xi's ghost with my own eyes, I absolutely don't believe in evil ghosts killing people. The murderer must have used some deceptive methods to make people think it was an evil ghost who committed the crime."

"After going around in circles, the key point is still Chu Youhuang." The female official sneered and said, "Okay, I've delivered the things, you should practice well."

"You should also go back and remind Empress Diji that if she wants to accomplish great things, she must have the support of the army." After saying this, Gu Xi turned around and sat back on the futon. A gust of wind blew up the curtain, inadvertently revealing a row of coffins at the back.

"I paid such a high price not to be buried with you."

"understood."

The female official snorted coldly and left. The mourning hall became more and more gloomy and terrifying.

After returning to the Princess's residence, the female official reported the situation truthfully. Princess Shude pondered for a moment and said, "No one in Fuguang can compete with the Marquis of Wushen Mansion, not even your Majesty's army. Unless the armies of the six countries join forces to attack Fuguang, but Fuguang cannot fall. If Fuguang falls, it will be detrimental to our plan. We must think of a win-win strategy."

"Notify the prince that I will send him to the palace school tomorrow."

Princess Shude had to admit that Gu Xi had considered long-term war preparations more comprehensively than herself.

"Replying to Her Majesty, the Imperial Academy will be on holiday tomorrow."

"The day after tomorrow."

------------------------------

Early spring, light breeze and drizzle.

You Huang lay on the small table with his head tilted, looking at the scenery outside listlessly.

I finally got a day off and it was drizzling. I wanted to sleep in, but I was woken up early in the morning. They said that the flower god returns to his throne on February 15th and all unmarried girls must go to worship the flower god and pray for peace and success in the new year.

"You are not a cultivator who can live without food, water or sleep. You will be listless if you go out."

Seeing her daughter's appearance, Shen Zhaojun couldn't help but scold her: "Other girls have prepared for this day long ago, but you don't take it seriously."

"They ask for something, I ask for nothing."

Youhuang poked Daji, who was curled up in Shen Zhaojun's arms and sleeping soundly.

Shen Zhaojun slapped her hand away and said, "Can't you pray to the flower god to bless your family to be free of disease and pain, and to be healthy and live long?"

"It's better to pray to myself than to pray to God." You Huang disagreed. Shen Zhaojun was speechless. His daughter was indeed more useful than the flower god. After thinking for a while, he said, "Didn't you say that you have no inspiration for painting early spring? The scenery near Xueyuan Temple is nice. Maybe you can get some inspiration by taking a walk and taking a look."

When it comes to painting assignments, Youhuang is indeed a little worried. It is not easy to highlight the word "early" with painting.

Shen Zhaojun stroked the little fox in her arms and said, "Daji, don't learn from your sister to have no desires. People only have the motivation to make progress when they have desires."

When she suddenly heard the word "sister", You Huang almost choked on her saliva. How old was she? How dare she be the sister of an eight-hundred-year-old fox? When this guy restored his true form in the future, he would probably fight her to the death.

After walking for more than an hour, the team finally arrived at their destination, Xueyuan Temple, which has a history of nearly a thousand years.

As soon as Youhuang got off his horse, he was surprised by the couplet engraved in front of the mountain gate.

First couplet: If I had a soul, I wouldn't be covered with dust and my bones wouldn't fall apart.

Second line: Stop dreaming, you must know that frugality can bring you everything, while laziness can bring you nothing.

"This couplet in front of the mountain gate can probably dissuade half of the pilgrims." Youhuang couldn't help but complain. The person who wrote the couplet has a conscience.

"Don't talk nonsense." Shen Zhaojun scolded his daughter lightly, "The abbot of Xueyuan Temple is a great monk. Your longevity lock was given to you by her."

"Who would believe that wearing a piece of gold can make me live a hundred years?" You Huang disagreed. Shen Zhaojun said helplessly: "You kid... I won't let you speak in a while, so don't say anything."

You Huang snorted and turned away, then he saw a carriage with a black background and golden phoenix pattern parked in the teahouse next to the mountain gate.

"Whose carriage is this?"

In addition to the Crown Prince, the current empress also has two princesses.

Shen Zhaojun followed his daughter's gaze and snorted, "I didn't expect she would have the courage to go out."
