Chapter 217 Li'er, my aunt will take you home right now...
The palace was brightly lit at night, and only the young palace maids holding lamps were busy walking back and forth on the palace road. The atmosphere was quite peaceful, except for the faint chirping of insects in the corners.
This quiet scene is in stark contrast to the bustling and noisy night view of the imperial capital outside the palace.
The huge palace is comparable to a small city, divided into two palaces: an inner and outer palace.
In the outer palace, the royal family is at peace inside the building, and the imperial guardsmen responsible for guarding outside the building perform their duties and constantly patrol back and forth.
Occasionally, guards would secretly glance at the towering vermilion palace wall that separated the inner and outer palaces. Whenever this happened, their eyes would always show a hint of awe, and then they would quickly look away.
Since the new Emperor Lei Ting came to power more than ten years ago, it has not only broken the convention that the emperor has always been a male, but also created an ironclad situation where men are no longer allowed to enter the inner palace at night, and can only enter the inner palace during the day after approval.
legal situation.
Except for the empress, other royal families who used to live in the inner palace were moved to the outer palace.
As long as it is night, no matter what important matters there are, and no matter how high one's status is, one can only enter the outer palace area at most, where one has to wait patiently for the emperor to move out.
Other members of the royal family can only abide by it, but others dare not violate it.
At this moment, in a splendid hall in the harem, the most powerful person in Zhonghuangzhou and the most noble empress of the Dawu Dynasty was dealing with the remaining portion of today's memorial.
For some reason, she always felt a little uneasy.
At hand is an unfolded portrait, which vividly depicts a young man with a mean-looking little mouse on his shoulder.
After taking a look at the man in the portrait, he calmed down a little.
Although she knew very well that this was just the appearance after makeup, she still kept it with her during this period and took the trouble to look at it again and again.
The only remaining son of her late sister who was the only one who stood by her side and actively persuaded her husband to fully support her, so that she was eventually implicated, naturally held a unique and unusual weight in her heart.
In her opinion, this little nephew she had never met before was far more important than the royal family members outside the palace who only had blood ties.
It can even be said that she is the only one who will consider the possibility of being the successor to the throne.
If that doesn't work, Yun Ying, the personal maid she trained with her own hands, will be her backup choice.
Bloodline has gone through the bloody storm of seizing the throne, at least now she doesn't value it so much.
Instead of leaving the Dawu Dynasty to the hands of the descendants of the royal family who had previously stood against her, it would be better to find and train a new empress herself, and create something that the world thought was impossible.
Even though her surname is not Gu, the blood in her body is not the blood of the current royal family.
No matter how long-lived the dynasty is, it will eventually decline and be overthrown. The orphan girl Yun Ying's surname and name are all given by her, and she can completely be regarded as her willed successor.
She can only have the final say on the next emperor of Zhonghuangzhou, including the change of dynasty!
The news found by her nephew allowed her to finally sleep peacefully during this period.
But now that she had a clue and could follow her nephew for a while, she felt that it would have little impact.
If it weren't for the well-founded remarks made by the old Imperial Master that day, she would have been eager to set off to the East Dao Territory to search for it personally as early as the moment her personal maid Yun Ying sent back the first spiritual message.
Considering that my nephew's hexagram had not yet been completed, I reluctantly held back.
Three days ago, she received the second spiritual letter from Yunying, but it reported the bad news that the nephew she had longed for was being hunted down by Tianji Pavilion.
She immediately sent an order to King Dongling, who was leading his team to the Void Realm of the East Domain to investigate the cause of the destruction of the Secret Realm of Heaven, and ordered him to change his route for secret protection.
Because of the geographical location of Zhonghuangzhou, the void realm is surrounded by a circle of turbulent currents and cannot be crossed. Without a treasure like a cross-border boat, it would take an ordinary cultivator at least a month to cross the Hundred Thousand Mountains.
Generally speaking, the advantage of flying magic weapons is that it consumes less spiritual power and the speed of improvement is not very high. It mainly relies on the strength of the cultivator.
For a Nine Path Realm expert like her or King Dongling, it would take about ten days at full speed.
Fortunately, Zhonghuangzhou has been equipped with cross-border teleportation arrays with the other three regions except the Western Demonic Region since ancient times. It is usually in a dormant state, and it only takes three days to activate and reuse it.
Judging from the time, the dispatched team has almost reached the East Domain.
She didn't know why her nephew who was living outside was wanted by Tianji Pavilion on the grounds of colluding with the demons. Matters involving the demons became extremely sensitive, and it was not easy for her to intervene directly in her capacity.
After all, the East Dao Domain is under the control of Tianji Pavilion. Once the rules are broken, it will be very bad for both parties if there is chaos in the future.
Her personal maid is different. Her existence has not been announced to the outside world so far. Outsiders do not know the exact relationship between Yun Ying and her. It can be regarded as a private behavior. There are ways to make it a big deal and make it a small matter.
The Imperial Incarnation has the special function of instantly teleporting her body and changing the position of her incarnation. Although there is a cost in using it, she will definitely use it without hesitation when necessary.
The maid Yun Ying always had an imperial edict on her body for self-defense. Before King Dongling set out, she also gave one to prevent temporary needs.
For this reason, she will now choose to pay attention and wait for further news.
After barely concentrating on reviewing the last memorial on the imperial desk, she picked up the portrait and rolled it up carefully before getting up and going back to the palace.
Today's Dawu Dynasty is all submissive on the surface, but secretly there are still those who are unwilling to give up on the old-fashioned rules. She has to personally check all important matters, which consumes a lot of energy at the end of the day.
After all, the confidant maids she trained were just maids, and she could not bear the burden of many big things on the surface. As for those members of the courtiers' families and the royal family who were gradually conquered after she ascended the throne, she was not reassured enough about this.
What is most urgently needed right now is help that can be fully trusted.
The missing He family perfectly met the requirements and was exactly what she hoped to bring back.
As soon as she put down the red pen in Yu's hand, the empress' golden eyes suddenly moved, and then she suddenly raised them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! He stood up and looked straight towards the east, continuing to flicker slightly.
At this moment, her vision seemed to penetrate through the isolated space, and she saw everything happening somewhere in the East Domain from a distance.
When she saw the back of the young man who was being held by a demon rat on the shoulder and gradually moving away above the forest sea at night, the Emperor's heart, which had been stable for more than ten years, trembled uncontrollably.
It was as if the back of her late sister and this man were firmly overlapped at this moment.
In my heart, the feeling of indebtedness suddenly arose spontaneously, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time.
It wasn't until the back figure that she had cared about day and night disappeared into the dense forest below, and then the energy disappeared suddenly and strangely, that she calmed down a little and secretly checked the situation around her.
The real body has not really arrived, and she cannot figure out how one person and one mouse disappeared.
But she generally knew that they had indeed left this dangerous situation, and the crisis in front of her was temporarily resolved by herself, without her needing to use her special replacement ability to visit the scene in person.
After seeing Yun Ying leave and the ugly-faced Tianji Pavilion elder, sensing that the Ren Pavilion Master was about to arrive, and another imperial edict wave approaching quickly, she felt relieved and directly withdrew her vision.
As soon as her mind returned to her body, two spiritual messages from different directions came out of the cracks in the void and flew into her jade hands one after another.
After reading the old Imperial Master's report that the young master's hexagram had been resolved and the detailed report on the progress of Yun Ying's affairs, Gu Cangyue's slightly domineering and noble eyebrows relaxed.
Li'er, my aunt will take you home right now...
Her beautiful golden eyes revealed a soft smile that had not been seen in more than ten years.
Immediately, he said softly to the outside of the palace: "Send an order to King Beihe and King Nanshi, asking them to set off immediately to the border of Shiwanda Mountain in the east. Tell them that I have come to Yazhi for a while, and ask them to accompany them into the mountains for hunting."
At the entrance of the main hall, four young palace maids with good cultivation have been quietly guarding, waiting for any instructions from the emperor inside.
When I first heard this, I was very surprised.
They had never heard such a feminine and gentle tone from the empress, and they were a little unbelievable.
Not daring to neglect at all, two of them immediately left and quickly went to do it.

I feel ashamed of what happened back then and cherish my old sister Miao.
The soul disappears and the life jade is destroyed, and the anger shakes the dynasty.
