Chapter 30: Empress
On the same night, a woman was walking down a stone path.
On both sides of the stone path, there were many copper figurines standing, and on top of these copper figurines, there were at least several types of spell formations that could easily kill Fourth Realm cultivators.
This woman was exceptionally beautiful.
The two attendants behind her were also stunningly beautiful, yet compared to her, they seemed to be mere green children.
This was because her beauty was not the kind that was showy or flirtatious, but the kind that was incomparably dignified, dazzling, and admirable.
Her beauty contained incomparable majesty.
On both sides of her, the shadows of the lofty and spectacular imperial palace all seemed to cower and prostrate themselves on both sides of the stone pathway, worshipping and bowing at her feet.
She was the Empress of the Qin Dynasty, the mistress of the Changling Mausoleum.
Even though her face was impeccable and perfect to the extreme, even a single hairline looked like it had been painted by the best artist in the world, yet throughout the Changling Tomb, not many people dared to look at her seriously and see her face.
At this moment, a masked cultivator wearing apricot yellow brocade robes, waiting for her at the end of the stone path, in front of her study, did not dare to raise his head to look at her at all, always incomparably respectful slightly bowing his body, hanging his head, full of respect and nervousness.
Although she did not dare to look up, however, this practitioner's mind power always followed her feet, knowing that the most honorable woman of the Qin Dynasty did not like red tape, nor did she like any nonsense, in the moment when she felt that her feet were about to come to a halt, this practitioner said in as respectful a voice as possible: "Your Highness, today, the head of the Night Division has already gone to the Divine Capital Supervisory Office to examine the corpse of the Song Divine Book, confirming that it is indeed the body of the Nine Dead Men, and that it is the corpse of the Nine Dead Women, and that it is the corpse of the Nine Dead Women. corpse and confirmed that it was indeed the Nine Death Silkworm Divine Skill, it's just that that person's cultivation was very low, at most only at the Qi Refining Realm."
The Empress' footsteps stopped.
Her every movement was noble and dignified and perfect to the extreme.
This included her movements and expression as she slightly lowered her head to look at this cultivator at the moment.
There was no change in her demeanor.
"Tell the family that the one who was able to kill Song Shenshu at the Qi Refining Realm didn't just get the Nine Death Silkworm's cultivation method as simple as that. But likewise, tell the family that there's no need to be nervous, and don't do anything special during this period of time. The current Great Qin Dynasty is no longer the Great Qin Dynasty of a decade or so ago, and there is no single person whose power can threaten the current Great Qin Dynasty, as long as my dynasty itself doesn't make any mistakes." She spoke calmly, her tone filled with supreme majesty.
"Yes." This cultivator was aghast in his heart as he continued, "Today, Marquis Xu intercepted the Head of the Night Division outside of the Divine Capital Prison, and the two of them exchanged blows in a tie."
The Empress said, "Since this is the case, don't think that you can rely on anyone from Changling to deal with her. Wasn't it the Cloud Water Palace's Bai Shan Shui who has recently shown signs of it? Have the family put all of their efforts into Bai Shan Shui, as long as we find out about Bai Shan Shui, and since Night Ce Leng has returned, she will naturally be the one responsible for this matter in the end."
This cultivator became even more austere and asked, "In today's day, the White Sheep Cave Du Qingjiao came out of the mountain and intervened in a matter of a jianghu gang, the family would like to hear your opinion, Your Highness."
"Is the family getting confused lately?" The Empress said, "Since His Holiness has already agreed that Du Qingjiao should return to his old age, and the White Sheep Cave has already paid its fair share due to its transgressions, the family will not need to consider this aspect of the matter at all. You tell those several members of the family for me that although His Holiness is bent on practicing the Way and thinking about immortality, it does not mean that he is different from before. His will represents the final result. Although the family is powerful, it is only powerful because it always stands behind the saint, never think that you can go beyond the saint to do something, don't think about changing things that have already been finalized."
Although the Empress's voice remained calm, yet this cultivator had already heard a strong threat and warning intent, and a drop of cold sweat could not help but seep out of his undershirt.
"Also, have the family warn Liang Lian that this thing he's running is too simple and rough. Being in Changling is not like fighting a war with an enemy country, it requires gentler means. The waters of Changling are deep, never think that you can easily crush anyone."
The Empress began to move her steps, walking past this cultivator and into the study.
This cultivator's clothes were all wet, feeling the scent of the Empress on his side, although the Empress in today's day did not have any changes in her speech and behavior compared to weekdays, and was still as perfect as ever, however, he always felt that this motherly Mistress of the world seemed a little bit different from usual.
......
The Empress sat down on the phoenix chair in the study.
In front of her was a living spring.
In the bubbles that kept rising from the spring, a large amount of milky white aura that was visible to the naked eye and had an amazing nourishing effect on the five qi in the cultivator's body was emanating.
In the dense spiritual qi, several white and flawless lotus flowers that were as near-perfect as she was bloomed.
Above the spiritual spring was a patio.
Under the refraction of some crystals on the roof, it seemed as if the starlight for miles around was refracted, substantially spilling into this spiritual spring.
"When wood is good, the wind will destroy it. Those who are too outstanding and go to extremes will be more prone to heavenly jealousy."
The Empress quietly looked at the spiritual spring in front of her and said softly, "Only knowing what you want and not knowing what others want, this side is the greatest sin. I don't know what you were thinking before you died, whether you had any awakening, but since you have been dead for so many years, can't you still have peace of mind?"
She slowly raised her head, and her gaze seemed to spread out through the starlight that dangled in front of her, spreading out infinitely along the flat and straight road of the Changling.
Her expression gradually became imperfect, becoming somewhat excessively cold, while an ethereal flame surfaced in her eyes.
"Even if something is left behind, it should be properly hidden so that you won't be completely obliterated, so that you can leave a little trace in this great world, so that the people of future generations, will know that your footprints once existed in this dynasty."
"After all, it was because of you that we were able to exterminate the Han Dynasty, that we were able to exterminate Zhao, that we were able to exterminate Wei, that we were able to have the Great Qin Dynasty at this time, and that we were able to have such a Changling."
Dazzling beauty, otherworldly majesty, and eyebrows that were as cold and overly perfect as those of the gods and Buddhas in the temples made her at this moment not at all like a woman on earth, but like a legendary deity.
However, she used an even cooler tone and whispered to herself, ''You should understand that in this world, there are no gods, and that any person is flesh and blood and has seven emotions and six desires. Those who don't live for themselves, that's what's truly abhorrent."
Then, on her flawless and beautiful face, it was an even more abhorrent figure that surfaced, even exuding a strong hatred and resentment, "And you actually have a heir... your Nine Death Silkworms even stayed behind, your Nine Death Silkworms, your Sword Intent, if you want to pass it on, you should pass it on to me, you even passed it on to someone else, and didn't pass it on to me! "
......
As usual, Ding Ning woke up at sunrise, looking at the back of the groomed Changsun Shaxue.
He then quickly finished washing up and helped Changsun Shaxue start boiling the millet porridge.
He waited until the fire was almost ready, then he slowly simmered it over a small flame, carrying his own special coarse porcelain bowl to the store he frequented to buy noodles.
The reason why this was so was because Changsun Shaxue had a cleanliness fetish and didn't like to eat things from outside, and in her longtime cultivation, she had gotten used to this kind of light and simple diet.
Other than making the wine, all the chores of the wine store, eating and living, it was Ding Ning who took care of Changsun Shaxue.
However, Ding Ning did it very meticulously and willingly, and even when he helped Changsun Shaxue simmer the porridge delicately like this, watching the fire gobble, and looking at Changsun Shaxue's silhouette as she walked not far away from him, he would feel very warm and happy.
Because there are some things that are best not to be remembered, and there are some people that must be cherished.
The dead one didn't see Changsun Shaxue clearly, didn't even have enough time to see her, yet he finally did.
After finishing a large bowl of red soup and fat intestines noodles, Ding Ning washed the bowl with the residual heat while looking at Changsun Shaxue who was drinking congee in small bites, and said softly and earnestly, ''Immediately, Wang Taixu's people will come to pick me up and take me to the White Sheep Cave...I promise that as long as I am able to come out, I will definitely come back to cultivate with you so you must not be in a hurry. You should understand that the situation like that last time was very dangerous."
Changsun Shaxue glanced at him and did not reply, only remaining to take small bites of congee.
Looking at her eye color, but Ding Ning couldn't help but smile.
Because he knew that she had already agreed.
There was the sound of a carriage resounding in the silent alleyway in the early morning, eventually stopping in front of the door of this wine store.
That should be the carriage that Wang Taixu had sent to transport Ding Ning.
However, Ding Ning sat sluggishly, only waiting quietly.
Changsun Shaxue frowned slightly, and finally couldn't help but look up at him and ask, "Since you've already decided to go, and since you've already come, why don't you go."
"I'll wait for you to finish eating and help you wash the dishes before I go."
Ding Ning looked at her deeply and said softly, "Usually you don't do these jobs."
(Every book a little bit of achievement, the book review area will always be mocked, said I'm not as good as this, not as good as that, in fact, I want to understand, you take other people and I compare, even if really than the win, you have what to be proud... If you have the guts to compare yourself with me... And I'm really proud of the fact that I don't think I'm better than anyone else in terms of writing speed, quality, and purely writing books... (En En, lastly, I sincerely ask for favorites and votes)
