The little boy didn't come back until the evening.
The young maid tried several times to inquire about the news, but she was mercilessly stopped by the palace guards at the door of the firewood yard.
She didn't know that she was imprisoned.
That made the young maid even more frightened.
"What happened?"
"What terrible things will Chen 'er face in the palace?"
"Will the empress and the imperial concubines do something to him?"
"Why did His Majesty suddenly summon Chen 'er to the palace?"
She guessed in panic, and her tears burst out uncontrollably.
That was a mother's love for her son.
Humble but great love.
Kneeling in the courtyard, she raised her head to look at the blazing sun that was gradually setting in the sky. Looking at the silver full moon that had already risen, she shed tears and silently prayed with her life and soul.
"Chen 'er, you must come back safely."
"In the palace, you must be obedient and smart."
"Without you, I can't live."
…
…
After the barbecue and sunbathing, Li Mu took a comfortable bath.
When the night fell, Xia Jing, the Bliss Fairy, came to visit again.
"This woman just had to come at night. She really doesn't care at all."
Li Mu thought for a while and asked Yuan Hou to take Xia Jing to the living room in the front yard.
The living room was open, like a large pavilion, without walls, supported by four vermilion pillars made of divine wood. On the left and right sides, there was a white and gold hollowed screen carved from ten-thousand-year-old fragrant wood. The faint fragrance lingered all year round. The layout was elegant and secluded, which was quite in line with Li Mu's current status in the Emperor Cliff.
"Hehe, it's really hard to meet the Grand Prince."
Xia Jing sat down and looked at Li Mu with a smile.
Li Mu said, "No matter how hard it is, you've met him, haven't you? Tell me, what's the matter? "
After hearing from Yuan Hou that this woman played some secret roles in the war between the Cao Chuan Mansion and the Yuechuan Mansion, Li Mu was quite curious about this woman's identity.
That was also one of the reasons why Li Mu asked Little Nine to save her after he killed the Xuan 'ge.
"The prince is really straightforward."
Xia Jing smiled and blinked her eyes. Her alluring charm was naturally revealed. It was just a simple action, but it immediately filled the entire living room with an ambiguous atmosphere of peachy love.
Li Mu said, "I've already said that this kind of trick doesn't work on me."
Xia Jing propped her chin on the table and looked at Li Mu with her bright eyes aggrievedly. "Prince, do you hate me so much? Could it be because you saw my body and work in the Yellow Dragon Pavilion that day, so you feel that my body is dirty? "
With a poker face, Li Mu said, "You only have one chance. If you don't tell me where you come from, I'll have to see you out. I'm afraid you won't have a chance to enter the Happy House again."
Xia Jing immediately put on an expression of 'I've really been defeated by you' and said, "Sometimes, I really wonder if you're really a man … Alright, let's get down to business. I've come to visit Your Highness because I have something to discuss with you."
Li Mu seemed to be all ears.
Xia Jing said, "Do you know why the remnants of the Dongxuan Celestial Sect, the Ganlin Mountain, the Solitary Sword Sect, and the other celestial sects didn't launch a retaliatory counterattack against you?"
Li Mu was slightly stunned.
"Isn't it because they know they are no match for them?" he asked.
Xia Jing had a speechless expression on her face as she said, "The strength you displayed in the Imperial City Battle and the Dongxuan Immortal Gate Battle was indeed shocking, but it wasn't to the extent that the top sects in the prefecture would avoid a fight. Especially since your battle record was equivalent to slapping the Cao Chuan Prefecture Alliance in the face. Even if they didn't openly challenge you, they should have taken some underhanded measures to regain their dignity. This is their style of doing things, but they have been quiet for the past few days. Don't you think it's strange?"
Li Mu's expression gradually became serious.
"Interesting."
The conversation began to become more interesting.
"It's strange indeed. Why?" Li Mu said.
Xia Jing said, "That's because in the Siming Mountain between the Cao Chuan Mansion and the Yuechuan Mansion, a relic of an immortal residence from before the collapse of the immortals has been discovered. Not only the immortal sects from the two prefectures, but also the forces from other prefectures nearby have heard the news and are ready to excavate the relic."
"Oh?"
Li Mu's eyes narrowed.
The collapse of the immortals years ago plunged the entire immortal world into a disaster. Many big sects, forces, and immortal experts were destroyed in such a disaster, so many lost relics were left.
For example, the relic of the Canghai Sect that Li Mu encountered when he first arrived in the immortal world was a typical example.
These Lost Ruins of the Immortal Dimension were like numerous unknown treasure vaults that attracted countless experts and sects of the Immortal Dimension to search and explore them successively.
There were once ordinary immortals who suddenly soared to the sky and became giants in prefectures because they obtained the inheritance of the experts from before the collapse of the immortals. There were also small sects that were on the verge of extinction who obtained the inheritance of the lost immortal residence and became major sects in the world.
Today, among the top sects in the Dongsheng Continent, the Flying Sword Temple, which was famous for its immortal sword killing, had obtained the inheritance of the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect, the number one swordsmanship sect in the Dongsheng Continent before the collapse of the immortals.
"This time, the immortal residence found in the Siming Mountain is rumored to be the residence of Xue Sannuo, the Four Bright Immortal King. He was an old immortal king before the collapse of the immortals. He once dominated the 12 eastern prefectures of the Dongsheng Continent and was invincible. In his heyday, he ruled six prefectures, including the Yuechuan Mansion, the Caochuan Mansion, and the Qingfeng Mansion. He was at the peak of the Immortal King Realm. It was rumored that he had already stepped into the Immortal Prince Realm. Later, he died in the collapse of the immortals. It is said that his immortal residence not only contained the inheritance of the past, but also a large amount of cultivation resources. There was even a bottle of 'Immortal Essence', which made countless people crazy."
Xia Jing said with a serious look.
But Li Mu didn't know the value of the Immortal Essence at all.
"So, these sects don't have the energy to deal with me at all now, and they are all preparing to reclaim the Four Bright Immortal Residence?" Li Mu asked.
Xia Jing laughed and nodded.
Li Mu rubbed his chin and said, "Then the question is, why did Fairy Xia tell me this?"
Xia Jing said, "Do you have to ask? Of course, she hopes that you will also compete for the inheritance of the Four Bright Immortal Residence."
Li Mu said with a smile, "Even if I get it, what good will it do to you, Fairy Xia?"
"Haha, men." Xia Jing smiled faintly and said, "Can't I do something that doesn't bring me any benefits?"
Li Mu didn't say anything but just looked at her quietly.
Xia Jing smiled like a young girl and said, "Well, if you really want a reason, then I'll say that I'm in love with you. Does that count?"
Li Mu laughed and said, "Then I'm more willing to believe that you're really doing something that doesn't bring you any benefits."
Xia Jing pouted and snorted coquettishly, "Your Highness, you're avoiding me like avoiding snakes and scorpions. Do I scare you so much?"
Li Mu shook his head and said, "Our paths are different."
Xia Jing said, "Then what if I say that our paths may be the same?"
Li Mu took a sip of the tea on the table and said, "Fairy Xia, what have you been doing in the past two years? Don't use the words' survival 'to brush me off. I know that many of the things you've done have other purposes. "
Xia Jing smiled and said, "I'm not trying to hide it from Your Highness. I do come from another organization. My purpose in coming to the Emperor Cliff is to stir up the water between the Yuechuan Mansion and the Caochuan Mansion and make this place chaotic."
"Oh?"
Li Mu's heart skipped a beat.
Although they didn't have the same goal, they did have the same goal.
"What organization?" Li Mu asked.
Xia Jing smiled and said, "Actually, this servant has always been deeply puzzled. Seeing that this servant has brought such important news to you, I wonder if Your Highness can dispel this servant's doubts?"
She didn't answer.
Li Mu didn't want to get to the bottom of it.
After all, everyone had their own secrets.
"Go ahead." Li Mu said.
Xia Jing asked seriously, "With your talent, strength, and ambition, even if you found your own sect, it would definitely become a top force in the Yuechuan Mansion. If you want to join an immortal sect, there are many better choices than the Emperor Cliff. Why do you have to be loyal to the Emperor Cliff?"
Li Mu thought about it carefully and said, "If the name is not right, it won't make sense."
In Xia Jing's eyes, an undetectable glint flashed across.
Although she wasn't very satisfied, she had seen some clues in this man's heart.
Xia Jing stood up and said, "Why don't you just say it? What kind of man are you to hide things … I'm leaving."
After taking a few steps, she suddenly thought of something. She turned around and said with a sweet smile, "If I told you that my body has always been pure, would you believe me?"
Li Mu was stunned.
"Hee hee …"
Xia Jing saw Li Mu's astonished expression and immediately laughed complacently.
She turned around again and walked in the direction of the gate.
When she walked to the gate, she seemed to think of something again and turned around for the second time.
"I heard that in the five continents, the rebel army in the Central Chaos has also sent people to compete for the Four Brightness Immortal Mansion this time. The leader is Fang Tianyi, one of the three pillars of the rebel army. He is the most valiant general under the command of Sword and Saber Shenhuang. He is known as the Sword God of the Fairy Realm. You are also famous for your swordsmanship. Don't you want to see the magical power of this Sword God?"
Xia Jing smiled like a flower and gave him a look.
…
In the imperial palace.
"Your Majesty, please think twice."
An old official tried his best to persuade him.
"Yes, Your Majesty, the selection of the Crown Prince is very important. You can't be too hasty."
"Prince Son, he … can't bear such a great responsibility."
"Your Majesty is now in the prime of your life. As long as you want, you can give birth to a legitimate son. Not to mention Prince Son's talent and cultivation, his mother is of humble origin and impure bloodline. How can she be the Crown Prince?"
In the hall, the officials spoke one after another.
They thought that this time, the emperor summoned the officials to discuss the important matter of conquering the Dongxuan Immortal Sect. Unexpectedly, the emperor mentioned the selection of the Crown Prince, and from his words, he seemed to have the intention of setting the Crown Prince as Prince Son.
This shocked the officials and they all objected.
