After obtaining this magical conch, Li Mu suddenly had an idea. If he could give one to Liu Hanyan, then even if the two of them were thousands of miles apart, one in Beijun and the other in Shen 'du, they would still be able to talk to each other in real time.
Making conch porridge every night was something that he could look forward to.
Instead of calling this conch a magical item, it was more like a phone that could only talk to one person.
In Changle Palace, Zhou Yi said calmly, "No."
Li Mu was a little disappointed, but he was prepared. After all, if he had three of these things, wouldn't the Empress be eavesdropping on him and Liu Hanyan when they were being sweet?
This would be too much of a shock to her.
After all, she was almost 30 years old and was still single. It was inevitable that she would be envious when she saw other couples. He couldn't let her see other people in love.
Should he ask for her conch and give it to Liu Hanyan?
This bold idea only flashed through Li Mu's mind for a moment before he extinguished it.
With the Empress's breadth of mind, she wouldn't give Li Mu a conch. She would only give him a whip.
"I'm sorry for being presumptuous. Good night, Your Majesty. I'll hang up first." Announcing to the world that the Jiujiang Prefectural Governor was innocent had already been reported to the Empress. Li Mu was about to put down the conch when the Empress's voice came again.
"Tell me about you and your fiancée."
Li Mu was stunned. He didn't expect the Empress to be so nosy. It wasn't a big deal to talk about his experience with Liu Hanyan, but it seemed a little cruel to tell an old single dog about it …
This was no longer abusing a single dog, but killing a dog.
However, this was the Empress's own request, and she didn't give Li Mu a choice.
Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "That was almost a year ago. At that time, I was still a constable in Yangqiu County. She had just moved to Yangqiu County and lived next door to me …"
As Li Mu narrated the story to the Empress, he also recalled the process of how he and Liu Hanyan met, got to know each other, and fell in love with each other.
In his two lifetimes, he had only been in a serious relationship.
From the beginning, the two of them were hostile to each other. Later on, they were inseparable. Who knew how many twists and turns they had gone through in the process.
Li Mu added: "In less than a year, she will come to the capital and we will get married there. If you have time at that time, you can come to my home for the wedding banquet. My wife admires you a lot and won't let me say anything bad about you …"
The Empress asked calmly, "Did you speak ill of me?"
Li Mu hurriedly explained, "What I mean is that she is very protective of Your Majesty, just like how I am protective of Your Majesty."
The Empress was silent for a moment and asked, "You … Why are you protecting me?"
Li Mu thought for a moment and said, "Because in my heart, Your Majesty is a wise ruler worthy of my protection. The reason why I am fearless in the capital is because I know that Your Majesty is behind me. Your Majesty is my strongest support. I am willing to be the sharp spear in Your Majesty's hand …"
The Empress didn't speak. After a long time, she said, "How is your learning of magic?"
Li Mu said honestly, "During this time, I have been busy with Cui Ming. Under Your Majesty's guidance, I only learned how to be invisible."
The Empress said, "Although you have Fu-lu and magic treasures, these are all external objects. You need to learn more magic as soon as possible to improve your strength."
Li Mu also understood what the Empress said. Cultivators could rely on Fu-lu and magic treasures, but relying on oneself was better than relying on anything else.
With the Water Repellent Talisman, one could also move in water. However, if one learned the magic to enter water, one could go to any river, lake, or sea. The Fire Sitting Technique could allow one to enter fire without burning, and there was no need to use Fu-lu magic treasures. Other than that, there were other magic that were very practical. For example, the Clothing Blocking Technique could prevent fire, rain, and dust from touching one's body. The Qi Restriction Technique could push one's physical body to the extreme, comparable to the Golden Body of Buddhism …
There was no sound from the conch, but Li Mu felt sleepy and quickly fell asleep.
In the dream, the Empress wore an ordinary white dress and said, "From today onwards, I will teach you magic in your dream. Learn seriously …"
Sure enough, flattery was useful. Having a Transcendent Tier elite teach them step by step was an opportunity that many people could only dream of. As long as Li Mu stood firmly on the Empress's side, he would be able to see Creation Tier elites waving at him.
No matter how high one's cultivation talent was, it was very difficult to reach the Creation Realm before the age of 30 without a great opportunity.
However, with the guidance of a Transcendent Realm master, enough spiritual jades, and enough psychokinesis, it was not impossible to complete the path that others would take decades to complete in a few years.
Shangguan Li was an example.
Speaking of Shangguan Li, she was the Empress's personal maid and also the Empress's mouthpiece in the imperial court.
This time, she did not appear in the morning court.
Cui Ming escaped from under the eyes of the inner guards, which made her very angry because the people who were watching Cui Ming were her subordinates.
In order to save face, she specially asked the Empress to personally lead people to hunt down Cui Ming. The task of passing the imperial court's decree fell on Li Mu's head.
Li Mu walked from the corner to the high platform in front of the Empress and replaced Shangguan Li's position.
In the past, Li Mu could only secretly observe from the corner of the hall because of the Empress. Now, he stood in front of the hall and looked down at the officials.
The matter of Cui Ming being a spy from the Demon Sect was of great importance and involved many people. Today's morning court only discussed this matter.
The servants of the Prince Consort's Residence were all arrested by the imperial court. After a soul search, a few more disciples of the Demon Sect were found. Cui Ming's identity was confirmed.
The current Prince Consort, a fourth-rank official of the country, was actually a spy from the Demon Sect. This was a disgrace to the imperial court and the greatest insult to the imperial court.
What's more, Cui Ming was the assistant minister of the Secretariat of the Great Zhou. He was in a high position and knew almost all of the national affairs. All of the decisions of the Great Zhou were made through the Secretariat of the Secretariat. To some extent, in the past few years, the Demon Sect had controlled the imperial court of the Great Zhou.
In the past few years, Cui Ming's actions were to control the old party and firmly support the payment of guilt. In the handling of certain matters, it seemed that he was protecting the old party and protecting the interests of the influential officials. In fact, he was consuming the people's confidence in the Great Zhou and weakening the people's mental power.
He was taking advantage of this to cause chaos in the imperial court.
The old party suffered a great blow in the matter of Cui Ming. The officials and influential officials who were in close contact with Cui Ming were all interrogated with the Soul Manipulation Technique. Even Princess Yunyang was not spared. Fortunately, they were not found to have colluded with the Demon Sect. Otherwise, if the Zhou family and the new party seized the opportunity, the crime of colluding with the Demon Sect would be enough to consign the Xiao family to eternal damnation.
Of course, even so, some of the officials of the new party took advantage of this to impeach the old party members in the imperial court. Usually, the two parties argued until their faces turned red and they wanted to fight. This time, the officials of the old party could only endure silently.
In the matter of Cui Ming, they only thought of their own interests. None of the officials in the imperial court mentioned the Jiujiang Prefectural Governor.
Li Mu looked at the magistrate and said, "His Majesty has decreed that the Jiujiang Prefectural Governor has been framed by Cui Ming and has been wronged to this day. It is to be announced to the world that he is innocent. In addition, the Ministry of Works is to send people to Jiujiang Prefectural Governor to build a temple and erect a monument for him. The Ministry of Justice, Supreme Court, and Zongzheng Temple should take this case as a warning.
Cui Ming's case was a wake-up call for the imperial court.
The Demon Sect's hands had already reached into the imperial court. More than ten years ago, they had planted spies in the imperial court and even became the emperor's son-in-law. If Cui Ming's old crimes had not been exposed, no one knew how long he would have hidden and how many state secrets he had leaked to the Demon Sect.
No one knew if there were other spies of the Demon Sect in the imperial court other than Cui Ming.
The internal guards were already investigating the officials in the imperial court. After the court, Zhang Chun and Li Mu walked side by side and asked, "If you can't search the officials' souls, how can you investigate the spies of the Demon Sect?"
Li Mu said, "The spies of the Demon Sect all have one thing in common. No matter if they are male or female, they are all very handsome. Such people are the easiest to gain the trust of others and obtain information."
Zhang Chun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then they shouldn't suspect me …"
After saying that, he seemed to have realized something. His expression became a little complicated. For a moment, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad.
