Gu Immortal, Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu Gu

Hearing this, the old eunuch's eyes flashed, and he asked without hesitation: "Could this person be the King of Qin? If so, this old minister is willing to take action personally to prevent future troubles."

Jun Jiufeng smiled slightly, her stunningly beautiful face showing her confidence in her determination to win. "No, this person is Ye Tianyu, the young master of Huoyun Valley. He is indeed worth cultivating."

Having said this, Jun Jiufeng said no more. He nodded slightly to the old eunuch and left with graceful steps.

"Fire Cloud Valley? Didn't that kid just get out of jail? He's also pretty close to the King of Qin. Can he shoulder the fate of Yan? Can he be favored by the fate of Yan?"

The old eunuch was confused and felt that the times were changing too fast and it was difficult to accurately grasp the pulse of the times.

"Godfather, you keep talking about the destiny of the Yan Kingdom, but you forget that there is more than one kind of destiny force in the Feisheng Pavilion." Xiao Shunzi is good at making the final move at the critical moment.

Especially when the old eunuch was confused, he could always hit the nail on the head.

"hiss……"

After eavesdropping, the old lady couldn't help but gasp.

“You mean, the kid from Huoyun Valley is probably not favored by the destiny of Yan State, but by the destiny of the previous Chu State?” The old eunuch stared at Xiao Shunzi, as if he had an epiphany.

"Whether it is true or not still needs to be verified. I just need to say a few words casually, but you, godfather, have considered more." Xiao Shunzi held the black cat, and there was a hint of innocence in his confused little eyes.

"No, I must report this to His Majesty, otherwise I might accidentally train a traitor." The old eunuch left in a hurry.

Xiao Shunzi took a closer look, patted the black cat's head, and a smug smile appeared on his face.

"How dare a mere Ye Tianyu compete with Big Brother Li without even considering his own weight."

Xiao Shunzi smiled playfully again and looked up at the incense in the hall.

In his eyes, the smoke from the incense that was swirling and rising irregularly actually outlined two faces.

One is Li Changsheng and the other is Ye Tianyu.

The eye technique he learned from Princess Thirteen finally came in handy today.

……

Deep inside the magnificent palace, Empress Jiufeng, with the careful assistance of her maid Su Jin, carefully took off her gorgeous phoenix robe.

As the round and fragrant shoulders like white jade gradually revealed themselves, the blood-red and lifelike dragon pattern slowly appeared from under the skin, as if it was projected from another space and imprinted between the bones and flesh.

Su Jin, who had served the empress for many years, had admired her countless times for her unique beauty, her skin as white as cream, her bones as white as jade, and her natural beauty that was rarely seen in the world.

However, today, the blood-colored dragon pattern that suddenly appeared on the empress's body made her feel panicked.

"Your Majesty, what is this?" Su Jin's voice was filled with fear.

The dragon pattern was extremely evil, with a prominent horn and hollow eyes. It looked like a dragon but not a dragon. It looked more like a poisonous dragon crawling out of a bloody prison.

"Don't panic. This is the price I have to pay for choosing a shortcut." Empress Jiufeng spoke calmly, her slender fingertips lightly touching the dragon pattern, as if she had already coexisted with it.

"Your Majesty, your precious body, how can you tolerate being defiled by such evil things? Everything your Majesty does is for the welfare of the people of Yan State. Even if the heaven punishes you, your Majesty should not bear it alone." Su Jin knelt on the ground, her eyes full of panic and worry.

Every bit of the empress's care is more important than her life. If necessary, she is willing to give everything for the empress without hesitation.

Jun Jiufeng's clothes were half undressed, and the mysterious pattern of the backlash of national fortune made her look more charming and gorgeous besides being graceful.

She looked down at Su Jin who was kneeling, and her deep pupils revealed complex emotions - disgust, compassion, and helplessness.

"I know my limits. Spying on the laws of nature and manipulating the fate of the country is against the will of heaven. If you don't bear the consequences and don't feel remorse, where is the order in the world?" Jun Jiufeng said in a calm tone.

Su Jin felt even more distressed when she heard this: "Your Majesty is busy with all kinds of affairs and shoulders the livelihood of the people of Yan State. How can the blame be placed on Your Majesty? Even if there is a need to pay back, it should be shared by all the people."

Jun Jiufeng's eyes flashed with coldness: "Shut up! How selfish do you think I am?"

Su Jin looked confused, not understanding what was wrong with what she said.

If the ruler of Yan State, Empress Jiufeng, is still restricted by the rules and cannot transcend them, how can the people of Yan State have any hope?

She was just pinning her unfulfilled wishes on the empress. What was wrong with that?

The empress saw Su Jin remained silent, tears streaming down her cheeks, and she had no way to vent her anger. "Forget it, I didn't call you here for this."

Jun Jiufeng changed into another outer robe to cover the strange dragon pattern, turned to face Su Jin, and unconsciously showed a bit of fatigue in his eyes.

"I want to ask about Li Changsheng's leadership of the army. Apart from pleasure-seeking, has he ever demonstrated other talents?" Although Jun Jiufeng's question was general, it was enough to show his importance to Li Changsheng.

As the saying goes, a snake in the grass will leave traces, and the same is true for a person's life, which has a trajectory to follow.

The fact that Li Changsheng was able to establish such a large organization as the Snow Mountain Alliance on the grassland within just a few months must have proved that he had extremely high political talent and must have a large amount of resources in his hands.

Just imagine, what resources could a dandy young man, whose family has fallen into poverty and who has been exiled to the border for making a serious mistake, have at his disposal?

Even before, when they were at the border of Yan State, the advance team encountered rejection by local clans. It was only after Li Changsheng cheated and deceived people into giving them 500,000 yuan worth of stones that they were able to barely make up for the military supplies.

It is conceivable that the advance team had no surplus food and naturally could not support Li Changsheng.

Therefore, there are many suspicious points about Li Changsheng. Jun Jiufeng will never give up if he cannot dig out his background.

"When Li Changsheng was in charge of the Tiger Army, he was repeatedly wooed by powerful officials in the court and prominent clans in the society. However, he was arrogant and looked down on everyone, which led to the civil officials, military generals, and even grassroots heroes having a very low opinion of him."

Although Su Jin didn't know what the empress was asking, she could only try her best to provide a detailed answer in general terms.

"Not only did Li Changsheng not make friends with them, but he openly broke with them?" Jun Jiufeng couldn't help but show surprise when he heard this detail.

A hint of confusion unconsciously emerged on her stunningly beautiful face. She was very curious about how Li Changsheng had easily angered everyone.

This ability to offend everyone equally is something that not everyone can do.

"It's not an exaggeration to call it a breakup. Since then, colleagues in the court have been wary of Li Changsheng and have refused to discuss anything with him. There was even one time when Li Changsheng was forced to sneak into a colleague's house, but was framed by someone who intended to use it as a threat. So he fled into the inner house and captured the new concubine in the house as a shield..."

When the empress heard this, she was speechless.

Li Changsheng's behavior was indeed unusual, and he was at odds with factions in the court and was collectively excluded.

Relying on his status as the descendant of an old minister of the previous dynasty and the privileges of General Huwei, he dared to flirt with someone else's new wife. No wonder few outsiders knew about his behavior.

After all, once the situation escalates, the official will lose all face and find it difficult to gain a foothold in the court.
