Your Majesty, you don’t want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 31 Empress: Something is wrong with you [two in one chapter]

Upon hearing Li Yunshu's bet, the empress looked a little unnatural, and her toes subconsciously curled up.

Such a big bet?

At this moment, she couldn't help but doubt whether there really was a three-legged golden toad.

Although she had some doubts in her heart, she had just vowed that there was no such thing in the world. Wouldn't it show her ignorance if she changed her words now?

"What request do you want me to grant you?"

Li Yunshu glanced at Shangguan Shuangyue out of the corner of his eye, but did not speak directly.

If Shangguan Shuangyue knew about his request, he might not have a good life in Zhenyi Division in the future.

Pei Xuanji glanced at Shangguan Shuangyue who was standing aside.

"Shuangyue, please go down first."

"Yes."

Shangguan Shuangyue glanced at Li Yunshu, feeling a little curious about what conditions he wanted to put forward.

However, since the empress had spoken, she could only exit the hall obediently.

Shangguan Shuangyue exited the hall and closed the door at the same time.

In the main hall, only the empress and Li Yunshu were left.

Li Yunshu took a deep breath and wiped his finger across the ring.

Then, pairs of stockings of different colors and styles were suspended in the air.

Over-the-knee socks, high socks, shiny socks, letter socks, fishnet socks, pantyhose.

There are several pairs of high-heeled shoes placed on the ground. The one placed in the C position is a pair of black high-heeled shoes with red soles.

Pei Xuanji's curiosity was aroused, and she stood up and moved closer.

"What are these things?"

Li Yunshu was not surprised by the empress's reaction.

These things are all used by wealthy people to enhance their fun, and no one would wear them.

The Empress has never seen it before, so it’s normal.

Li Yunshu introduced.

"These are a kind of socks that I found in a clothing store. They are of fine quality and silky to the touch. They are specially presented to Your Majesty."

Pei Xuanji gently stroked her fingers on a pair of black silk stockings, which indeed felt silky smooth.

Her eyes fell on the pairs of high heels placed on the ground.

"What is this?"

"The shoes worn with socks are called high heels."

Pei Xuanji stood next to the high heels and roughly compared them.

"How did you know I wear this size?"

Li Yunshu glanced at the empress's feet. After playing with them for so long that night, how could he not know?

Of course, he couldn't say this directly.

"My eyes are rulers."

Following Li Yunshu's gaze, Pei Xuanji looked at her feet and instantly understood what this guy was thinking.

She took a step forward, lifted Li Yunshu's chin with her index finger, and made eye contact.

"So, what's your request?"

It was obviously a bet, and she didn't say what the request was, but she came up to give something first, which made her feel something was wrong.

Li Yunshu's throat rolled and he was slightly nervous.

"I want to see His Majesty wearing them up close."

Pei Xuanji narrowed her eyes.

"You're wrong."

Afraid that the empress would shrink back, Li Yunshu resorted to aggressive tactics.

"Is Your Majesty afraid?"

Ah--

Pei Xuanji snorted coldly. Although she knew it was a way to provoke the general, how could she be afraid of this guy?

"Okay, I'll bet you."

The empress grabbed Li Yunshu's shirt and stepped on his toes with her jade feet.

"If you lose, I will step in your mouth."

Li Yunshu clenched his fist tightly and doubled his bet!
Just when he was secretly happy, the empress thrust a map into his arms.

"There is a secret realm in Wumeng Mountain. Whether you can enter it or not depends on your luck."

Li Yunshu looked at the map in his hand. Wumeng Mountain is located in Yunzhou, which is the territory of Tianquan Sect.

He was a little confused now, whether to go to Wumeng Mountain or the Hidden Forest first.

However, Pei Xuanji's next words directly helped him make his decision.

"It is said that this is a secret place left by Sun Shichang. If you can find his manuscript, I will reward you greatly."

As soon as he heard this name, Li Yunshu's eyes immediately lit up.

Sun Shichang is known as Sun Miracle Doctor. It is said that before his death, he compiled what he had learned throughout his life into a notebook, but no one has seen the notebook.

If this thing were to appear in the world, it would definitely cause a sensation.

Especially the alchemist, who regarded Sun Shichang as a god.

It's a pity that even if Sun Shichang's medical skills are unparalleled, he will not be able to live forever.

Li Yunshu asked tentatively.

"Your Majesty, if I find this manuscript, is there any reward?"

A faint smile appeared on Pei Xuanji's face.

"I only want that manuscript, and everything else is yours. What reward do you want?"

Li Yunshu immediately bowed his head respectfully and did not dare to bargain any more.

"Sir, go here."

After being kicked many times, he also learned from experience that the empress's faint smile was often a precursor to going crazy.

If it doesn't get better, I'll give it up. I'm afraid I'll fly out of the palace again soon.

After walking out of the palace, Li Yunshu looked in the direction of Yunzhou.

Last time the mistress left without saying goodbye, this time he just happened to pay a visit.

By the way, I would like to ask if there is an antidote to the 'Chastity Pill' that the empress forced him to take.

Although he had no second thoughts about the empress, Chen Hong's ladies laughed at him all day long about this matter. His uncle could bear it, but his aunt couldn't.

Doctor Sun's secret realm must have a lot of elixirs in it, and maybe it can improve his strength.

Li Yunshu looked at the map of Wumeng Mountain in his hand again. The empress probably had this intention in asking her to find this secret realm.

What's the point of not giving him the elixir directly but letting him find it on his own?
A game where I became an empress?

……

The view is clear.

Li Yunshu released Chen Hong and then spoke.

"I'm going to leave the capital for a while, and you stay at the Taoist house."

Chen Hong said sourly.

"Yes, I've been beaten into a ghost. It's a burden to follow you out."

Li Yunshu couldn't help but rolled his eyes, but still explained.

"I will leave you a part of the Yin spirit. During this time, you will supervise them to renovate the Taoist temple."

"I dare you to let me work as a coolie for you."

Li Yunshu had mentioned the renovation of the Taoist temple before, so Chen Hong only complained.

Besides, even if she wanted to quit, she couldn't make the decision herself.

People in the soul flag have to bow their heads.

She stretched out her palm towards Li Yunshu.

"Renovating a Taoist temple costs money."

Li Yunshu had already prepared for this. He took out some of the gold that the empress had previously rewarded from the ring.

"That's enough."

Chen Hong's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

"Enough, enough."

Now, I must make a fortune from it.

Previously, she had chosen several pieces of clothing at the Shangpin Shop and was too embarrassed to ask Li Yunshu to pay for them.

After this guy leaves, I have to buy some clothes first.

Looking at Chen Hong's appearance, Li Yunshu knew what she was thinking.

"Don't be lazy. They don't know how tired they are anyway. They keep working day and night, trying to finish it before I come back."

Chen Hong clicked his tongue. "The Fang family built a blessed land of spiritual energy to exploit the people, and you exploited the Yin spirits."

Li Yunshu said seriously.

"To be honest, I have so many Yin spirits under my command anyway. I plan to build the spiritual energy blessed land myself in the future, and you will be the chief engineer."

He had already had this plan in mind, but at that time he only had the Yin Lings of four members of the Fang family.

At most, renovating your own Taoist temple is not enough to build a blessed land of spiritual energy.

But the Yin Spirit in white brought him thousands of Yin Spirits, enough to build a blessed place of spiritual energy.

Anyway, if there is no one left in the Fang family, the spiritual energy blessed land under their name will probably be in ruins.

When the time comes, I will find a way to bring over the unfinished spiritual energy blessing lands of the Fang family. This will be a fulcrum to leverage the Tianquan Sect's spiritual energy blessing lands business.

However, Chen Hong refused without even thinking.

"You promised me that you would let me return to Jiangdu County in the future."

Li Yunshu explained patiently.

"I can bring Jiang Wenzheng to the capital. You don't need to stay in Jiangdu County."

Chen Hong still shook his head.

"Li Yunshu, not everyone likes to live in this prosperous capital."

thump—

Chen Hong's words were like a heavy hammer hitting Li Yunshu's chest.

He was in a daze and didn't say another word.

Yes, I used to be burdened with so much in first-tier cities and was overwhelmed by life.

Isn’t what you yearn for most the most is to go back to live in a small county and not be so tired anymore?

Now, why has it changed?
After a while, Li Yunshu's eyes became firm. He looked at Chen Hong and said slowly.

"Do you know what freedom is?"

Chen Hong replied without thinking.

"Do whatever you want."

"No, true freedom is when I don't do anything I don't want to do, and no one or anything can shake me."

Li Yunshu pointed the soul flag in his hand towards the ground and continued.

"Even if I release you back to Jiangdu County in the future, can you guarantee that you will not be taken in by others?"

This time, it was Chen Hong who fell into deep thought.

The reason why she left Jiangdu County in the first place was because Bai Lang took her into Soul Banner.

And Li Yunshu was right, even if she were allowed to return to Jiangdu County now.

With his current Yin Ling strength, he might not even be able to leave the capital, let alone see Jiang Lang.

Even if I return to Jiangdu County like this, my spirit body will gradually dissipate as time goes by.

She would never be able to absorb Jiang Lang's pure Yang energy.

But once he absorbs the pure yang energy of other mortals and alerts the government or even the people of Zhenyi Division, will he still have a peaceful life?

Thinking of this, Chen Hong's heart was shaken.

Looking at Chen Hong who was deep in thought, Li Yunshu raised his legs and walked up the steps of Sanqing Hall.

"You just have to climb up step by step and reach the highest level."

He walked to the door of Sanqing Hall, turned around and continued.

"You will be free."

He didn't say this just to let Chen Hong stay in the capital, but this was the reality.

In this world of immortality, it is even more cruel than the modern world.

If you don't advance, you will retreat. If you want to be stable, there will always be people who don't want you to be stable, just like Zhao Yi.

If it weren't for Zhao Yi's desire to occupy this Taoist temple, he would not have caused the subsequent series of incidents.

Chen Hong looked dazed and murmured.

"Just let me be quiet and think about it."

Having said all that needed to be said, Li Yunshu said no more, but turned his head and looked in the direction of the palace.

Even if he chooses to be comfortable now, Zhao Youde will not give him this opportunity.

What's more, now he relies on hugging the Empress' thigh.

No superior person would like salted fish. If the empress finds that he has no value in the future, I am afraid she will not protect him like she does now.

Weiyang Palace.

The empress stood in front of Fenglin Hall, looking in the direction of Jingmingguan.

He murmured in his heart: How did he ascend?

……

The next day.

Li Yunshu went to Zhenyisi to ask for leave early in the morning, and when he left Zhenyisi again, he had already transformed into Zhao Qian.

After all, there is Zhao Youde watching covetously in the dark.

With the empress in the capital, Zhao Youde did not dare to take action.

Once you leave the capital and shout "Empress, help me", I don't know if it will work.

So, it's better to be on the safe side.

After walking out of the city gate, Li Yunshu looked back again.

He has never left the capital yet, and this is his first time traveling far away.

……

Zhao House.

After sending the master of the method away, Zhao Youde slumped on the chair in the study room, exhausted both physically and mentally.

Li Yunshu had so many corpses thrown into his house, which made everyone in the house panic.

After cleaning up the corpses, he asked the monks from Jialan Temple to perform a ritual to drive away evil spirits and avoid evil.

He was sitting alone in the study, still immersed in the pain of losing his son and unable to extricate himself. Mrs. Zhao burst in with red eyes.

Seeing him sitting there in a daze, Mrs. Zhao burst into tears.

"Xun'er was killed by that Li Yunshu, and you're just sitting here?"

Zhao Youde had a headache when he saw his wife.

Both of his sons died in Li Yunshu's hands. Doesn't he want to take revenge?

But in the capital, the empress had already taken action for Li Yunshu twice, so what could she do?
Now the entire Zhao Mansion was in a state of panic due to Li Yunshu, and he could only break his teeth and swallow it.

Sometimes, he regretted it just thinking about it.

If Zhao Yi hadn't gone to the broken Taoist temple in Jingming Temple and provoked the evil star, there wouldn't have been so many things.

Mrs. Zhao held on to Zhao Youde's sleeves and cried as she refused to open any pot.

"It's all that little bitch you raised outside. Her son died and she still implicated my Xun'er."

She had always turned a blind eye to the fact that Zhao Youde had an extra room outside.

Zhao Yi was in charge of the business of Lingqi Blessed Land and had a relationship with Tianquan Sect. She, the principal wife, had nothing to say except sighing that her son was not living up to expectations.

I originally thought that it would be good for my son to be a wealthy son in peace and stability.

Who would have thought that Zhao Yi would drag her Xun'er with him even if he died.

Snapped!
Zhao Youde picked up the teacup on the table and threw it heavily to the ground.

"do not Cry!"

Mrs. Zhao trembled and then stopped crying.

At this time, the housekeeper walked in cautiously.

"Master, madam."

Mrs. Zhao took out a handkerchief, wiped the tears on her face, and then turned her head and looked aside.

Zhao Youde looked at the housekeeper with dark and sharp eyes.

"what's up?"

"Sir, someone from the Zhenyi Department said that Li Yunshu has taken a long leave."

"What?" As soon as he heard the news about Li Yunshu, Zhao Youde stood up immediately, "Why is he taking a long leave?"

"Li Yunshu said it was an errand ordered by His Majesty. He didn't say what it was specifically." After a pause, the housekeeper continued, "I just went to Jingming to watch, and there was no one there."

After Zhao Youde thought for a moment, he spoke.

"You mean that he might have left the capital?"

The butler nodded.

"Probably."

Zhao Youde rolled his eyes and then ordered.

"Tell Elder Cui about this and ask him to secretly contact the Night Fury's killer and put a heavy reward on Li Yunshu's head."
