Above the boundless sea! A flying boat was traversing the sea at high speed.
Murong Yan leaned against one of the masts of the flying boat as she watched the divine continent leave. She felt a lump in her throat as she clenched her teeth to prevent the tears from falling.
On the other end of the flying boat stood a skinny lady in a black brocade robe. She had snow-white skin and fiery red lips. She was extremely beautiful, but there was a sinister look in the corner of her eyes. The lady in the black brocade robe looked at Murong Yan with jealousy in her eyes.
"Which part of me is not comparable to Murong Yan? Why is His Holiness so obsessed with this girl? I have done so much for His Holiness. I was the one who brought the Five Emperors together. In the end, in His Holiness's eyes, I am not comparable to this little girl? "The lady in black was indignant.
After some time, the lady in black suppressed the jealousy in her heart and slowly walked towards Murong Yan.
Murong Yan kept looking in the direction of the divine continent. She only regained her senses when she felt someone walking towards her.
"Black Emperor? Do you think my father and the rest were really killed by Long Zhanguo? Why? "Murong Yan said with tears in her eyes.
"Yan'er, don't be sad. Lord Murong has sacrificed his life for the country! They are just passers-by in your life. Don't take it to heart! "The Black Emperor consoled her gently.
"But I still can't forget that they were very good to me in the past! Why did His Holiness give them up? "Murong Yan sobbed.
"His Holiness has his own plans. Lord Murong and the rest are to blame for being too careless. His Holiness has done his best!" The Black Emperor consoled her.
"It's all my fault. It's all my fault. If I were to become Long Zhanguo's concubine, Father and the others wouldn't, wouldn't …!" Murong Yan said sadly.
"No, His Holiness said you did a good job." The Black Emperor shook his head.
"Ah?" Murong Yan looked at the Black Emperor.
The Black Emperor shook his head and said: "Even though the Lord Murong is dead, his death is valuable. They contributed to the common people, so in the future, the common people will be grateful to them!"
"I don't understand!" Murong Yan said with tears in her eyes.
"You don't need to understand. All you need to know is that His Holiness's arrangement for you is the right one. Other than Long Zhanguo, there is one more person! As long as you can touch his heart, His Holiness will take you back! "The Black Emperor consoled her.
"But I don't want to do it anymore. I'm so sad!" Murong Yan cried.
The Black Emperor frowned slightly. In the end, he persuaded her gently: "Yan 'er, I know you like His Holiness, right?"
Murong Yan nodded while sobbing. She was not guarded against the Black Emperor at all.
"Now, the entire Dayan Dynasty is busy with His Holiness's matter. Out of all the links, this is the only one that His Holiness is powerless. However, you can help His Holiness. Only you can help His Holiness!" The Black Emperor advised gently.
"Me?" Murong Yan's eyes were red.
"This is the jade bracelet that His Holiness gave you!" The Black Emperor took out a blood-red jade bracelet.
"This is?" Murong Yan was confused.
The Black Emperor's eyes flashed with envy: "This is the Phoenix Blood Bracelet. When the Empress was still alive, His Holiness gave one to her!"
The Black Emperor slowly put it on Murong Yan.
"Phoenix Blood Bracelet? Empress? "Murong Yan's mouth was wide open.
"I can't accept it. It's too precious!" Murong Yan wanted to take off the bracelet.
"Think carefully. His Holiness gave you the Phoenix Blood Bracelet for a reason!" The Black Emperor laughed.
Murong Yan's hands paused. Reason?
"How could His Holiness not see your feelings for His Holiness? His Holiness gave you the Phoenix Blood Bracelet, which explains everything. Can't you guess? "The Black Emperor laughed.
Murong Yan looked at the Phoenix Blood Bracelet, her heart beating wildly.
He only gave the Empress the Phoenix Blood Bracelet. Wasn't he hinting at her?
"I won't tease you anymore. His Holiness said that if you don't want to go to the Thousand Islands Sea, he won't force you. He will let me take you back to the Imperial Palace! As long as you are willing, His Holiness will immediately confer you the title of Imperial Concubine! "The Black Emperor said with a trace of envy.
"I …!" Murong Yan immediately panicked. A great joy instantly washed away the sadness in her heart.
"However, you have to know that His Holiness made so many preparations for all of this. He was just one step away from success. At this step, no one can help His Holiness. That Old Man Guanqi's heart is already like an ancient well without ripples. He won't be moved by anything. Only you have an innate aura that makes others feel close to you. Any man who gets close to you for a long time will be attracted by your aura! That Old Man Guanqi will definitely be moved by you. As long as he is moved by you, His Holiness will have no regrets. "The Black Emperor sighed.
"I, I'm not that good!" Murong Yan said bitterly.
"You are. Isn't His Holiness attracted by you? Do you know how successful your trip to the Da Qian Celestial Empire was this time? His Holiness can't bear to see you suffer outside and wanted to bring you back for a long time. Now, His Holiness can ignore the thousands of years of arrangements for you. Many court officials reject you as an Imperial Concubine because they think that you don't contribute enough to Dayan. However, His Holiness likes you. His Holiness must take you as an Imperial Concubine. Even if all the court officials object, His Holiness will not hesitate. For you, His Holiness can disregard the country! "The Black Emperor said with envy.
"I …!"
"Go to Old Man Guanqi. Perhaps in a month, you will be able to help His Holiness. You will be able to make a great contribution to His Holiness's plan and shut the mouths of the court officials. However, His Holiness can't bear to part with you. If you don't want to, I'll take you back. His Holiness is looking forward to seeing you in Divine Farmer City! With His Holiness there, no one can stop you from becoming an Imperial Concubine. "The Black Emperor said solemnly.
Murong Yan's eyes changed. She touched the Phoenix Blood Bracelet on her wrist and finally gritted her teeth. "I'll go!"
"What?"
"I'll go to the Thousand Islands Sea. Don't worry, I'll do it!" Murong Yan said with certainty.
"But, His Holiness …!" The Black Emperor said 'worriedly'.
"You said that I'm willing, so I'm willing!" Murong Yan said resolutely.
"Alright, I'll talk to His Holiness. Yan 'er, His Holiness is blessed to have such a sensible confidant like you!" The Black Emperor praised.
Murong Yan bit her lip and didn't say anything.
The Black Emperor was satisfied and slowly walked to the bow of the ship with a cold smile on his face.
After flying for ten days, they arrived at an island.
It was a huge valley.
The Black Emperor brought Murong Yan to see an old man in a white robe, Old Man Guanqi.
Seeing the expressionless Old Man Guanqi in front of her, Murong Yan frowned. This old man?
"Mr. Guanqi, this is Lord Murong's daughter, Murong Yan. Lord Murong was exterminated by the Long Zhanguo, and only Murong Yan managed to escape. His Holiness naturally wouldn't let the descendants of his meritorious subjects suffer grievances. However, the relationship between Da Qian and the Dayan is currently tense. It's not convenient to bring Murong Yan back to the Dayan Dynasty, so I'll hide her here for a while. Thank you for your trouble! "The Black Emperor said Solemnly.
Old Man Guanqi glanced at Murong Yan.
"Jiang Lianshan lent me Lianshan Yi to comprehend, so this little girl will stay in my Sky Chess Pavilion for a while. Consider it as returning the favor! Don't worry, with me here, no one can hurt her! "Old Man Guanqi said calmly.
"To prevent any accidents, please take care of her personally!" The Black Emperor said Solemnly.
"Got it!" Old Man Guanqi said calmly.
"Thank you!" The Black Emperor bowed Solemnly.
"Little girl, the west wing is your residence. You can stay there and tidy up yourself!" Old Man Guanqi said calmly. He turned his head and ignored the two of them, walking back to the main hall, 'Guanqi Hall'.
The Black Emperor looked at Murong Yan and said, "Yan 'er, you can stay here for a while!"
"Okay!" Murong Yan nodded.
The Black Emperor said goodbye and quickly left on the flying boat.
Murong Yan was left alone. Looking at the flying boat leaving, she felt melancholy. She really wanted to go back with the Black Emperor so that she could see His Holiness, but …
Murong Yan smiled bitterly and turned her head to look at the main hall that Old Man Guanqi stepped into.
"Guanqi Hall? What an arrogant old man. Using his own name to name a hall. What an egomaniac! "Murong Yan scolded in a low voice.
After saying that, Murong Yan walked towards the west wing.
In Guanqi Hall.
Old Man Guanqi sat on a chessboard and placed a piece by himself. Although he was engrossed in the chessboard, he was very aware of the outside world.
"Egomaniac? Ha, little girl? "Old Man Guanqi laughed lightly and ignored her.
Shennong City. Upper Study.
The Black Emperor looked respectfully at Jiang Lianshan behind the desk.
"Yan 'er doesn't want to come back?" Jiang Lianshan frowned.
"She said that she wanted to help His Holiness tug at Old Man Guanqi's heartstrings! She wants to stay! It seems that Yan 'er was born to do this …! "The Black Emperor laughed.
"Yan 'er is not that kind of person. Did you convey my words?"
"I did, but she said that her parents just died and she is very sad. She doesn't want to come back so early!" The Black Emperor looked up at Jiang Lianshan and whispered.
"Sigh!" Jiang Lianshan sighed softly.
"His Holiness, this is a good thing. If that Old Man Guanqi can also like Yan 'er, it will greatly help you." It will be of great help to your grand plan! "Black Emperor advised.
"But I, I don't need her to do that! I am a little worried about her. "Jiang Lianshan sighed softly.
The Black Emperor's face twitched and he felt uncomfortable, but he still said carefully, "She managed to tug at Long Zhanguo's heart. She also managed to tug at Old Man Guanqi's heart. She did it once, she did it twice. His Holiness shouldn't take it to heart. Moreover, this was what Yan 'er wanted!"
"Forget it, you can leave. I want to be alone!" Jiang Lianshan sighed softly.
"Yes!" The Black Emperor slowly left the Upper Study.
As he left, the Black Emperor looked at Jiang Lianshan with a trace of possessiveness.
After leaving the Upper Study, the Black Emperor's eyes flashed with a cold determination. "Yan 'er must not come back. Empress, only I am fit to be His Holiness's Empress!"
