That's what villains are like

Chapter 142 She will become a good wife in the future, I can help you get back together with him
In front of the main hall, all the ministers gathered and stood with their hands down, not daring to take a breath.

Prince Wuxuan, Prince Chong'an, Duke Zhong and many other high-ranking princes have also arrived, including Xiangguo Jiang Lintian, who is also in front at this moment.

However, compared to the other ministers, he closed his eyes slightly, as if he was taking a rest. Even if Emperor Xia broke through the eighth realm, he didn't take it too seriously.

Everyone has different moods, some are surprised and shaken, and there are also many people who are terrified.

Whether Emperor Xia breaks through the Eight Realms, or she reveals her daughter's body in front of the people of the imperial capital, this is a huge matter, and it will soon spread throughout the Great Xia, causing huge waves.

It's just that now Emperor Xia's momentum is like a rainbow, and the dragon's energy is steaming, no one dares to speak out in person, bluntly speaking of the different impacts and consequences of these two things.

After all, even Xiangguo Jiang Lintian, who had been at odds with Emperor Xia in the past, chose to pretend not to see it at this time and kept silent, and the other ministers dared not say a word.

Emperor Xia has finally become an aura, and the cultivation base of the eighth realm is enough to make her look down on everything and look down on the world.

Her attitude is even more forceful, just to tell everyone, so what if she is a woman?She is going to become the eternal empress.

"The Blood Immortal Sect is dormant in the dark, with the intention of disrupting the Great Xia Dynasty and disrupting the country and society. From now on, all counties and cities will start self-examination..."

"The imperial capital is sealed off for three days, and the remnants of the dormant Blood Immortal Sect will be strictly investigated and liquidated. No one will be spared."

"If you collude with the Blood Immortal Sect, you will be punished as treason, and you will never be forgiven lightly."

Emperor Xia's tone was cold and indifferent, his eyes swept across all the ministers, and finally fixed on the faces of Prince Wuxuan and others for a moment.

This time, something went wrong in her plan, and there must be someone from the Clan's House who interfered with it, but who it is still needs to be investigated.

It's not just the people in the Palace of Longevity who are in charge of guarding. If there is a problem, the insiders of the Blood Immortal Cult must have known the real location of the Dragon Seal in Guoqi Town, knowing that she did not hold a ceremony to move the Guoqi.

"As ordered."

All the ministers responded one after another. After such a big incident, there will definitely be liquidation afterwards.

This time, the Blood Immortal Cult's attack was really turbulent. In order to sneak into the palace, they did not hesitate to use their internal agents that had been hidden for many years.

It's just that no one knows whether the plan of the Blood Immortal Sect will succeed or not.

The generals in charge of guarding the four forbidden halls only knew that Emperor Xia personally shot down many masters of the Blood Immortal Cult.

In the end, three beings whose strength far exceeds that of the general seventh realm appeared, and only then did they entangle her.

Chongzheng, the king of Chong'an County, looked at Emperor Xia with his usual expression, many thoughts flashed, and finally he bowed his hands and retreated.

Even he doesn't know what happened to Longxi in Guoqi Town, Xiangguo Jiang Lintian's attack, coupled with Xia Huang's breakthrough, really exceeded his expectations and disrupted his plan.

From now on, we just need to wait and see the development of the situation. Once the Blood Immortal Sect succeeds, we will definitely not let go of the opportunity to publicize...

However, before leaving, he still took a deep look at Zhenbei Wang Xiaohe.

Among the four Forbidden Halls, only the Hall of Longevity that Xiao He was in charge of had problems. All the masters of the Blood Immortal Sect didn't care about the other three Forbidden Halls at all, and all the masters rushed to the Hall of Longevity.

No matter how much Emperor Xia trusted Xiao He, after this incident, he would definitely doubt whether there was a problem with Xiao He.

When the situation develops, if he speaks again, Xia Huang will definitely leave a small lump in his heart.

Zhenbei Wang Xiaohe had a bad expression since he learned about the situation at the Palace of Eternal Life.

Especially just now, many ministers did not know whether they looked at him intentionally or unintentionally, including the king of Chong'an County, who also looked at him with a look of scrutiny before leaving.

This made him cry secretly in his heart, but he also knew that he could not absolve himself of the blame for this matter.

After many ministers withdrew, only Xiao He stayed behind. Behind him, followed by his two sons, Xiao Ye and Xiao Wang. They knelt down with their father with a face full of remorse.

The Palace of Eternal Life fell, and if Emperor Xia hadn't acted in time, it would definitely have caused a catastrophe.

Before that, they also vowed to guarantee that there would be no mistakes in the national equipment.

Emperor Xia put his hands behind his back and looked at Xiao He with deep eyes.

Of course, she can trust this minister of the humerus, but there is a problem in the Hall of Eternal Life, even if Xiao He is fine, there is no guarantee that the people around him will be fine.

"I hope King Zhenbei can give me an explanation after the incident."

"You have been entrusted with such an important task, but the Hall of Eternal Life has become the target of public criticism. It is impossible for there to be no reason."

She just waved her hand and didn't punish King Zhenbei.

At present, only she knows about the loss of the national equipment, but after all, paper cannot contain the fire, and the Blood Immortal Sect will definitely make a big fuss about this matter before long.

If things get serious, the consequences will be very serious, not to mention affecting the hearts of the people, and her dignity will also be damaged.

However, there are still bigger troubles to come. She has sat on the throne as a woman for so long, and some stubborn old antiques have long been dissatisfied. After the Blood Immortal Sect is liquidated, she will definitely be impeached.

Among the rules and etiquette of Daxia, there has never been a single one that says that women can become emperors.

Perhaps, she still has to face the pressure from Hulongshan.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will definitely give His Majesty an explanation." Xiao He said immediately, wiping the sweat from his forehead.

Today is different from the past, and now being watched by Emperor Xia, even he, a strong man of the seventh realm, will feel great pressure in his heart.

"Go down."

Emperor Xia waved his hands lightly, then turned and returned to the palace.

All the maids and eunuchs among them have been dismissed by her, leaving only a few confidant maids.

Her eyes swept across the empty and spacious palace, and finally landed on the golden dragon chair on the first place.

"Change the dragon chair to a comfortable one..." She thought for a while and ordered.

After breaking through the eighth realm of cultivation, her mentality became more and more unrestrained and naturally unified.

In the past, her hands and feet were restrained for many reasons, and even her demeanor and behavior were similar to the ancient emperor in the history books, but now...she understood a truth.

The so-called manners are all based on strength and fists.

After today, even if she was leaning casually on the soft couch, how dare the officials say anything more?
"Yes." Several maids acted quickly.

Emperor Xia's gaze swept away, and the memorials on the copybook flew up, floating in front of her, flipping open with a clatter.

At the same time, many thoughts appeared in her mind, as if there were many psychic villains reading and correcting the memorial, multi-tasking, and the processing efficiency was far higher than before.

Now that she has just left the mortal body and touched the "Tao", she has such a mysterious method.

If one's cultivation is profound, and one is single-minded and multi-purpose, one's wisdom and ability will also be improved accordingly. According to legend, the emperor in ancient times could foresee the future and make the most correct choice every time he encountered a problem, developing the imperial court to the extreme.

"How is Jiang Lan doing now?"

Emperor Xia restrained her thoughts for a while, her cultivation base had broken through, and she still needed to be stabilized, but she had such a chance, she had to say thanks to Jiang Lan.

Now the government is speculating whether she had a secret deal with the Xiangguo Mansion and reached some kind of agreement.

"Returning to Your Majesty, after the self-destructing of the Qianyuan Cave, Mr. Jiang was affected. Although he had a protective body, his injuries were still severe and he passed out. Afterwards, the people from the Xiangguo Mansion found him and brought him back to the mansion. He should be recuperating now." Chunlan replied.

"Are you still recuperating?"

Emperor Xia nodded slightly, after thinking about it, she ordered, "Go to visit in my name, and go to the treasury to get ten 3000-year-old mind-nourishing sky grasses, three bottles of Huangjilongqingdan, and a drop of Youquan earth-centered chalcedony. This time in the Qianyuan Cave, he has done a great job in escorting him, and I hereby reward him."

"Yes." Chunlan withdrew respectfully.

Emperor Xia knew that with Jiang Lan's status, he didn't need these things, but this was an attitude after all.

If she didn't do anything, the ministers in the DPRK and China would doubt Jiang Lan even more, but after she did so, they would wonder if there was any agreement between Xiangguofu and her.

It was Xiangguo's intention, not his, that Jiang Lan would help him in Qianyuan Cave.

After all, everyone knows that the relationship between Xiangguo Mansion and her is like water and fire. Now that she has broken through the eighth realm, she sent someone to visit as soon as possible. This is probably a kind of friendly attitude towards Xiangguo Mansion.

She was trying to confuse people.

At the same time, in Xiangguo's mansion.

With a pale complexion, Jiang Lan was in the courtyard, basking in the sun. Behind him was a soft couch brought out by a group of guards. It was covered with soft down of an unknown monster, and incense was lit beside it, which had the effect of calming one's mind.

He squinted his eyes slightly, opened his mouth from time to time, and bit off the spiritual fruit that You'er had peeled and brought to his mouth. He looked weak with wounds on his body and had just woken up not long ago.

"This is the decoction prescribed by the imperial doctor..."

A smell of medicine came from the air, and Li Mengning walked over with a white porcelain bowl, one of which was a pitch-black decoction that exuded an amazing smell of medicine.

Jiang Lan's consciousness was immersed in the Niwan Palace, and he came back to his senses after hearing the words.

"This soup is too bitter, I don't want to drink it." He shook his head, stretched out his hand, and You'er helped him to sit up.

"Not bitter..."

Li Mengning stared at him with her quiet eyes, as if if he was disobedient, she would just force him down.

Still looking lazy, Jiang Lan said, "Neither bitter nor drunk."

Li Mengning stared at him, her cheeks seemed to be bulging.

"How about you feed me?" Jiang Lan looked at her with a smile.

Hearing this, Li Mengning picked up the spoon and planned to feed him herself.

Seeing this, Jiang Lan immediately interrupted her, saying, "It's not this way of feeding, this way of feeding is still bitter..."

"Huh?" Li Mengning was puzzled.

You'er at the side quickly gave her an explanation.

Li Mengning was stunned for a moment, looking at the decoction in front of her, and at the smiling Jiang Lan, she suddenly couldn't make up her mind.

"..."

She pursed her delicate red lips, her ears were slightly hot and red, and she was a little hesitant.

"You lied to me……"

"This is also bitter."

She suddenly realized that Jiang Lan was trying to bully her again.

Jiang Lan said seriously, "It's really not bitter, if you don't believe me, try it..."

"Childish..." Li Mengning had already seen through his trick.

Jiang Lan was a little bored for a while, and reclined back with lost interest, saying, "Oh, Meng Ning, you have become smarter."

"..."

Li Mengning really wanted to put down the soup in her hand and give him a few punches.

After all, she personally cooked the soup, so Jiang Lan naturally lived up to her kindness.

Moreover, he is really injured now, and he has paid a huge price for capturing the Zhenlong Seal from the air.

After all, it is Daxia's national weapon, which condenses the rich dragon luck and energy of Daxia for thousands of years. It is far more difficult to ingest it from the air than other Taoist artifacts.

At that time, he almost failed and suffered a backlash. In the end, thanks to the trembling of the ancient vine, the bursts of strange absorbing power, combined with the bloody river, he was able to absorb Zhenlongxi almost again.

Now Zhenlongxi is hovering in his sea of ​​consciousness, surrounded by strands of dragon luck, but there is a strange energy surge around it, which turns into a cage and seals it up.

Jiang Lan is not the Son of Heaven of Daxia, and he has not practiced the corresponding exercises, so he cannot activate Zhenlongxi, so he can only seal it temporarily.

Emperor Xia has broken through the eight realms, and he has the ability to completely refine Zhenlongxi, without his approval.

If she were allowed to control Zhen Longxi, it would be like adding wings to a tiger to her.

But this is not good news for Jiang Lan.

If Emperor Xia is too strong, her left and right arms will look a bit weak, even if they are abolished, they will not have much impact on her.

If you want to control Emperor Xia, you can't make her too strong. Now her cultivation has broken through the eighth realm, which is beyond expectations for Jiang Lan.

At that time, after ingesting the Zhenlong Seal, he immediately stayed away from the blood-colored altar. Later, because the phantom of the barbarian god blew himself up, the powerful aftermath involved him and directly made him fall into a coma. Afterwards, his father sent people to search for him, and then brought him back to the mansion to rest in peace.

This incident also taught Jiang Lan a lesson. Don't be too arrogant and confident in everything. Unexpected things always come too suddenly.

Many things in this world are no longer what he expected, and they don't develop according to the plot he knows.

Next, when he acts, he must be cautious and consider several methods and retreats.

This time, in order to absorb Zhen Longxi, he has already taken a big risk.

Of course, this is also beneficial, that is, the Dao Fruit of the Year has turned green, and is faintly changing to purple.

That is to say, the Dao Fruit of the Year has matured to the second stage.

This not only deepened Jiang Lan's understanding and manipulation of time and time, but also greatly expanded the time range he can currently expand.

He even felt that with the help of the Dao Fruit of Upper Fate, he could already manipulate the lifespan of some individuals.

For example, he can suddenly increase the lifespan of some mortals, but the premise of this is that there are other living individuals that can be used for him to extract lifespans.

If the cultivation base is strong, there will be more unknown causes and effects contained in its lifespan, and it will be more difficult to increase, but if it is extracted, it will be easy.

Although this method is as mysterious as the Creator, but for Jiang Lan at present, it is a bit tasteless.

During this period of time, he is also trying to condense his natal supernatural powers, intending to make his cultivation on the bright side break through to the six realms of supernatural powers.

The existence of the Dao Fruit of Fate and the Dao Fruit of Years also brought him a new direction of perception.

In the realm of supernatural powers, monks need to condense their own natal supernatural powers. The scope of this natal supernatural power is very large. They can master the unique knowledge in ancient books and scriptures, or they can comprehend and comprehend them to create their own.

Some extremely talented Tianjiao, when they were born, had condensed bones in their bodies, or held precious blood in their hands, and possessed innate supernatural powers.

In this state, there is no need to realize the supernatural power of life, it is innate.

And many monks have been hesitant and struggling for many years, and tried everything they can, but they couldn't condense their natal supernatural powers.

The methods of Taoism practiced are even more incapable of being thoroughly mastered and turned into one's own use.

And in Jiang Lan's sea of ​​consciousness, every leaf on that ancient vine can be transformed into a natal supernatural power for him.

For example, the sword-shaped leaf that absorbed all of Lin Fan's innate memories, the blood emerald-like leaf that was transformed after obtaining the inheritance of the Blood Immortal Sect, the Huangxu Hunyuan Scripture, the Zixia Dao Scroll, and the four four-sage leaves that were transformed after obtaining the Four Sages' Ancient Heaven Skill, and the Mengmeng leaf that represents the three-page wordless heavenly book...

Each leaf represents an extremely powerful natal supernatural power.

Not to mention the Dao Fruit of Fate and the Dao Fruit of Years.

Generally speaking, Tianjiao who are in the realm of supernatural powers will choose to refine one, and integrate a natal supernatural power, as the direction of specialization in the future.

After all, it involves the "Tao" that needs to be comprehended in the future domain, dharma, and the bridge of robbery that may be touched.

For example, Jiang Lan's father, Jiang Lintian, chose "luck", so if he wants to consolidate his foundation, he needs to start with the national luck of Daxia.

Right now, Jiang Lan is caught in a difficult choice, is he good at one thing, or good at all things?
With the existence of that ancient vine, no matter what kind of skill inheritance it is, as long as he takes a complete look at it, he can fully integrate it and master it to the point of perfection.

So he can choose to have more than a dozen natal supernatural powers, after all, he doesn't need to spend time studying and comprehending.

"There's really no other choice."

"For me, there is no difference between being good at one thing or being good at all things."

"It's... the essence of everything."

While Jiang Lan was thinking about making a decision in his heart.

The maid sent by Emperor Xia also came to the Xiangguo Mansion under the eyes of the major families in the imperial capital, and walked into the mansion under the leadership of the steward.

For a time, there were many waves and sensations in the imperial capital, and there were many speculations and discussions.

Jiang Lintian, who was dealing with some matters in the study, also came out and personally thanked Emperor Xia for the reward.

Jiang Lan, who got the news, was unable to personally thank Shengen on the grounds that she was ill.

After the envoys in the palace left, Jiang Lintian placed the items bestowed by Emperor Xia in front of Jiang Lan's eyes, and the father and son retreated all the servants to discuss the next plan.

Right now, everything that Emperor Xia did was within Jiang Lan's expectation. Next time Emperor Xia revealed his daughter, he would be impeached by important officials from various parties and many elders of the clan's mansion. In Da Xia's laws and etiquette, there has never been a matter of allowing a woman to be emperor.

As a woman, Emperor Xia pretended to be a man and sat on the throne for many years. This has violated the rules of the royal family.

"Xia Huang's move seems to be showing favor, but it is actually confusing the public, taking advantage of the power of the Prime Minister's government to drive away tigers and wolves. Although she has broken into the eighth realm, she is still alone in the court..."

Jiang Lintian drank his tea and shook his head slightly.

"However, there are advantages and disadvantages to doing so. She has a clear heart, and if there is no obstacle in the future, she will skyrocket and become an eternal empress." Jiang Lan said.

Jiang Lintian nodded approvingly and said, "Great Xia's national fortune is becoming more and more prosperous, which is also a good thing for me. Although the bridge-robbing realm is called the Dao realm, it is still far away from the feathered flying immortal. If Daxia can unify Kyushu, it would be great."

Jiang Lan is also aware of the particularity of his father's cultivation method. Back then, he would assist the late emperor and set the country at a high level. Wasn't it because of this reason?

The law of fortune itself is like the fate of the country and the fortune of the dragon, which rests on the prosperity and change of dynasties.

And doing so also has great benefits, that is, there is a dynasty behind each person as a support.

As long as Da Xia survives, he will be able to enjoy an infinite lifespan and break the shackles of the realm.

"It's a good thing for you, Lan'er, to show Emperor Xia's daughter's body."

"According to the current situation, Emperor Xia is not too wary or hostile towards you. After Nanshou's rehearsal, she sent someone to send these things. It's not a kind of concern." Jiang Lintian smiled ambiguously.

Jiang Lan swept through the spirit grass pills, and finally captured the heart essence of the Youquan drop into her palm.

"Emperor Xia is indeed a commendable emperor..."

He swallowed one gulp and said with a smile, "In the future, I'm sure she'll be a good wife too."

Jiang Lintian smiled, stood up and patted him on the shoulder, already understanding what Jiang Lan meant.

He didn't deliberately ask Jiang Lan about what happened in Qianyuan Cave. With his vision and cultivation, he could see that Jiang Lan had secrets.

But who in this world does not have secrets?

Even him.

Since Emperor Xia chose to announce his identity, his previous plan should also be put on the agenda.

After Jiang Lintian left, Jiang Lan's consciousness sank into the Sea of ​​Consciousness. The Zhenlong Seal was carved like a fairy jade, ups and downs in it, with a strong dragon aura emanating from the surface, and there are various forms of life in the faint evolution.

He tried to mobilize a ray of dragon energy in it, but immediately attracted a fierce backlash.

The consciousness in it didn't recognize him, and it seemed that he would shatter and explode if he dared to touch it.

"Zhenlongxi, I will keep it for you first, and if I am obedient, I will consider returning it to you..."

Jiang Lan shook his head slightly. He also planned to try whether he could use Zhenlongxi to attract the national fortune of Daxia, so as to water the fruit of luck, but he failed without any surprise.

Sure enough, you still have to go through Emperor Xia to get the corresponding dragon luck.

At the same time, the imperial capital, the outer city in the east.

In a quiet courtyard full of ancient charm, red walls and green tiles, there are gurgling water, rockery pavilions, luxuriant vegetation and winding paths.

In a quiet room, Jiang Ruxian, who was dressed in plain white, suddenly opened his eyes.

Her eyes were cold and indifferent, as if she had abandoned all emotions in the world, only when she looked out of the window, she seemed to be a little more angry.

"If you think that if you break through the eighth realm, you can come to me for revenge."

"Then you can try it." Jiang Ruxian said calmly.

"I'm not that stupid. After breaking through the Bridge Tribulation Realm, I can feel the powerful gap between me and you."

"How did you practice?"

A cold and majestic voice resounded in the courtyard, and a slender figure dressed in a scarlet black imperial robe appeared there silently.

Liu Shi, who was practicing in another quiet room, did not notice any movement outside at this time.

Jiang Ruxian looked up at her, and her figure also appeared in the courtyard.

Xiahuang stood under the huge banyan tree in the middle with his hands behind his back, looked back at Jiang Ruxian, and said, "I have no malicious intentions."

"You don't dare to be malicious." Jiang Ruxian said plainly, his tone was flat and not polite.

Emperor Xia was not annoyed when he heard the words, he laughed and said, "You are not curious, why did I come to look for you suddenly?"

"I want me to help you overcome the current difficulties." Jiang Ruxian said calmly.

Although she has never left this courtyard, what happened in the imperial capital in the past few days has not been hidden from her eyes.

Whether it's the Blood Immortal Sect's rebellion, or the phantom of the barbarian god, etc., she is fully aware of it, but she is not interested in it, and she doesn't want to intervene.

Except for Jiang Lan's affairs, other things in this world can hardly cause a ripple in her heart.

"It's refreshing to talk to smart people."

"I simply say bluntly that I am alone in the court, and I am in a difficult situation. Although my cultivation has broken through the eighth realm, I will be impeached by the clan's mansion and Hulongshan next."

"I would like to ask you to help me, and help me deter them at critical times."

Xia Huang's bright eyes stared directly at Jiang Ruxian, without concealing his purpose at all.

This is also a countermeasure that she came up with after thinking for a long time. Whether it is the clan mansion or Hulong Mountain, it is an internal matter of the royal family, and the court officials have no right to intervene.

At this time, no one dares to go beyond.

She wanted those stubborn old guys to shut up. The only tough way was to let them know that there was enough power around her.

Only a strong force can shut them all up.

It just so happens that in the imperial capital, there is such a mysterious and unfathomable existence as Jiang Ruxian.

When Jiang Ruxian heard this, he just looked at him like an idiot, and didn't answer.

Why did she help Emperor Xia?Whether it is the Clan Mansion or Hulong Mountain, it is an internal matter of the royal family.

She is even less interested in this.

"Don't rush to say no."

"If you want to get back together with Jiang Lan, I might be able to help you."

Emperor Xia was not surprised by Jiang Ruxian's reaction at all, her words at the moment were full of confidence.

When Jiang Ruxian heard this, her cold eyes seemed to narrow slightly, and then she finally looked at her formally.
