"As you command!" Granny Lu bowed and walked over to Xiahou Chengyu, her eyes filled with sorrow. She thought that Xiahou Chengyu had been killed. She didn't expect him to still be alive. She never imagined that Miao Yi would actually let Xiahou Chengyu go. He had killed Xiahou Chengyu's husband and son. How could such a ruthless person spare Xiahou Chengyu instead of eliminating him completely? It was a little hard to believe.
Seeing Granny Lu, Xiahou Chengyu slowly regained his senses. Tears streamed down his face as he murmured, "They killed Zun 'er, and I heard that they killed His Majesty as well. Why didn't the Xiahou family help me? Why didn't they help me …" Gradually, he burst into tears and knelt at Granny Lu's feet. He hugged her thigh and cried her heart out.
Granny Lu patted her head, "Don't cry, don't cry. It's good that you're alive. It's all in the past. Live well …"
The hundred or so guilty concubines who didn't leave the Green Central Garden were also deeply moved. They didn't expect Xiahou Chengyu to still be alive. They didn't expect that the Empress, who used to be arrogant and domineering in the palace, would also end up in the Green Central Garden. She was even worse off than them. Taking a step back, with their beauty, if they didn't want to stay in the Green Central Garden anymore, they might be able to find a suitable man to give them a new life. Xiahou Chengyu, on the other hand, was not good-looking, and with his status, no man would dare to provoke him. He probably wouldn't be able to leave the Green Central Garden alive, and would probably spend the rest of his life there.
In short, they all had their own regrets. They were once nobles in the magnificent Celestial Palace, but in the blink of an eye, all their glory and wealth vanished like smoke, and they were all reduced to slaves …
In the desolate Gobi Desert, in the void that was constantly being torn apart, a group of densely packed shadows suddenly flew out. Countless flying mounts were tied to chains, and it was unknown what they were dragging. Soon, a huge object squeezed out from the constantly tearing void, as if it wanted to tear the gap in the Primordial Era apart.
In the end, the huge object revealed itself, and the huge Celestial Palace forced its way into the Primordial Era.
As soon as the Heavenly Palace appeared in the Primordial Era, the flying mounts in front of them obviously sank a little. The Heavenly Palace also tilted violently. The people riding the flying mounts shouted for the flying mounts to get down, and the flying mounts tried their best to pull the mounts back. The tens of giant dragons in front of them also exerted themselves to pull the mounts back.
It wasn't until countless winged cavalry warriors appeared that the Sky Palace slowly regained its balance and floated forward.
Countless winged cavalry warriors with chains covered the sky and covered the sun as they dragged the enormous Sky Palace. After determining the direction, they gradually accelerated.
No matter how fast they sped up, it was impossible to be faster than the speed at which they were advancing through space. The people in the Heavenly Palace raised their heads to look at the countless flying mounts at the end of the chains. It was a spectacular scene.
There were also many people patrolling the area on their flying mounts.
Fu Qing and Invincible Eagle were among them, and the two of them would look back from time to time. It would have been better if they had been in space, but here, the situation before them made them realize what it meant to be a waste of money and manpower.
Invincible Eagle couldn't help but sigh, "Didn't you say you wanted to rebuild the Heavenly Palace? Why did you suddenly change your mind and spend so much manpower and resources to move the Sky Palace here? What is His Majesty trying to do? "
Fu Qing silently replied, "Maybe it's because it's more convenient to cultivate here. Or maybe His Majesty is afraid of that Divine Soul Realm White Lady, so he moved her here. Even if White Lady manages to break in, her strength will be greatly reduced, making it easier to deal with her."
Invincible Eagle asked, "What does this have to do with the Sky Palace's relocation? We can totally rebuild it in the Primordial Era. There's no need to go through so much effort. "
Fu Qing shook his head. He couldn't understand what Miao Yi was getting at either.
In reality, many people couldn't understand either. However, this matter didn't really affect everyone's interests. Furthermore, it was the first heavenly decree Miao Yi had issued to the Heavenly Court after he gained control of the world. Thus, no one would do anything to stop him …
Three years. After entering the Primordial Era, the colossus that was the Heavenly Palace flew for three whole years before finally arriving at the chosen location.
During this time, there was no need to mention the changes in personnel and mounts. As the ground trembled with a dull hum, the relocation of the Sky Palace, which had cost a huge amount of manpower and resources, officially came to an end.
The majestic base of the Sky Palace was set up between the three mountains.
For a time, the sky was filled with the dance of dragons and phoenixes. All sorts of flying mounts had been released from their chains and were flying everywhere.
When the flying mounts that had covered the sky above the Sky Palace for three whole years finally dispersed, many people went up to the tower and looked out at the new world.
Miao Yi stood on the tall tower and leaned against the railing, his face expressionless.
In the new Green Central Garden in the distance, many people were looking out at the magnificent sight of the Sky Palace.
After several years of consolidation, the evil energy that had been wreaking havoc in the Primordial Era had been suppressed. Although there was still a long time before the Primordial Era could fully recover, greenery had already begun to appear. The Green Central Garden was filled with flowers and all sorts of green plants were thriving.
The Mountain Gods, Earth Gods, and River Gods from all over the Primordial Era were already in place. They were already performing their duties in their respective territories, acting as the eyes and ears for the new Sky Palace.
"Pass down the decree. Gather the people on the list. The court assembly will be held in three months." Leaning against the railing, Miao Yi gave the order.
"Understood!" Yang Zhaoqing replied.
As soon as the news spread, all the cultivators in the world eagerly looked forward to it. This was the first official court assembly since the new Celestial Emperor took control of the world. Everyone knew what this assembly meant.
After more than three years, the Sky Palace hadn't completely wiped out the remaining Azure and Buddhist forces, but at least they had been eliminated. All voices of opposition had been quelled, and the foundation for the official opening of the court was set.
After more than three years, the Sky Palace must have made all the necessary preparations. Everyone understood that the official court assembly this time would probably confirm the various positions, which would decide the fate of many people.
Many people were asking around, wanting to see who had received the Heavenly Decree to attend the court assembly. Those who could attend were naturally those who had a high chance of ranking in the court.
Of course, there were also people who were well aware of their positions. After all, there were many things that Miao Yi couldn't do as he pleased alone. He had communicated with the relevant personnel beforehand.
The official court assembly also meant that new rules would be implemented. How could it not attract attention?
In the end, everyone realized that during these three months, the Sky Palace had issued a series of decrees, bypassing the lower ranks and directly appointing the Domain Chiefs of the various galaxies. During this period, the Domain Chiefs all took up their posts. With so many Domain Chiefs being replaced, it was clear that the Sky Palace had indeed made sufficient preparations beforehand.
Three months passed by quickly.
Morning court assembly was about to begin. Miao Yi and Yun Zhiqiu, who were sharing the same bed, woke up and took a bath.
A new set of gorgeous clothes was presented to Miao Yi expressionlessly. He allowed the palace maids to help him put them on, neatly donning a dragon robe embroidered with the sun, moon, and heaven and earth dragons.
Standing in front of the mirror, Yun Zhiqiu couldn't hide the joy on her face. She looked at her dignified and charming self in the mirror as everyone helped her put on the gorgeous phoenix robe. Finally, a sparkling phoenix coronet was placed on top of her head.
After putting on their clothes, the couple walked out of the bedroom. The concubines who were lined up on both sides of the room bowed in greeting as they watched the couple walk through the crowd. Yun Zhiqiu's gorgeous dress, which trailed the ground, drew the envy of many women.
When the couple walked past, the group of concubines turned in the same direction and followed behind them in a row. Outside, a group of brightly armored soldiers escorted them. No one spoke, and the atmosphere was solemn.
When they arrived at the rear hall of the Heavenly Palace, the concubines and Yun Zhiqiu stopped in their tracks. With Yun Zhiqiu in the lead, they all half-knelt and said, "We respectfully escort Your Majesty to the morning court assembly!"
However, Miao Yi didn't follow the etiquette. Instead, he turned around and faced Yun Zhiqiu. He reached out and helped Yun Zhiqiu up, then grabbed her hand and led her towards the main entrance of the rear hall.
Yun Zhiqiu was stunned. She quickly held him back and refused to move forward. "Your Majesty, what is the meaning of this?"
Miao Yi calmly replied, "Morning court assembly with me!"
The group of people looked up in shock. Yun Zhiqiu was a little flustered. She quickly pulled her hand back and shook her head. "This is against the rules. Your concubine cannot interfere in the court assembly!"
Miao Yi reached out and grabbed her hand again. He swept an authoritative gaze across the crowd before him and officially announced, "You and I are husband and wife. I will be in charge of the external affairs, and you will be in charge of the internal affairs. We are one, and my world is yours. The new rules shall be implemented from today onwards!"
He then turned to Yun Zhiqiu and transmitted his voice over, "I promised you all those years ago that I would never let you down in this lifetime. Perhaps I didn't do a very good job, but I will always remember that promise. I will say it again. Even if I have to die by your hand, I will do so willingly. With you by my side, my life will not be in vain. Come with me to the morning court assembly!"
Yun Zhiqiu's eyes instantly brimmed with tears. She was so touched that she almost burst into tears on the spot.
No woman would be willing to see her man with so many women in his harem. She had nowhere to vent her grievances, and if she did, others would only think that she was being unreasonable. They would think that she already had so much, so why wouldn't she be satisfied? But who wouldn't be selfish when it came to relationships between men and women?
But today, at this very moment, her heart almost melted. With Miao Yi's words, she suddenly felt that all her grievances had been worth it.
Yun Zhiqiu smiled through her tears and shook her head. "Niu Er, it's enough to hear that. It's not appropriate for me to go. You should go."
Unexpectedly, Miao Yi loudly declared to the crowd again, "If you won't accompany me to the morning court assembly, then I won't be going either."
As soon as he said this, the group of concubines in the harem stared at Yun Zhiqiu with widened eyes. The envy and jealousy in their eyes were indescribable. Many of them lamented in their hearts, 'How can this woman have such a good life? She's already the Empress of the world. She already has all the glory and nobility in her hands, and she's even doted on by the supreme ruler of the world.
Yun Zhiqiu said, "Stop fooling around. This is as far as I can go."
Miao Yi stared at her and said seriously, "Who said this is as far as you can go? Too many people have already left me. Are you going to leave me as well? My world is your world. Accompany me to the end! "He squeezed her hand tightly as a gesture.
Yun Zhiqiu held back her tears and said, "Don't think that this will make me lower my bottom line." There was a deeper meaning behind her words.
"I know!" Miao Yi nodded firmly. At the same time, he tightened his grip on her hand and dragged her through the gates of the Universal Palace's rear hall.
Countless envious gazes followed them as they left.
Separated by a single wall, Yun Zhiqiu pleaded for Miao Yi to stop. She didn't want to go to the morning court assembly with tears in her eyes. Qian'Er and Xue'Er stepped forward to wipe away her tears and rearrange her makeup. Yun Zhiqiu was very nervous.
Beside her, Yang Zhaoqing nodded to indicate that everything was ready. At the same time, he asked in a low voice, "Your Majesty, do you want to use this opportunity to officially revert to your original name?"
