"Your Highness is not from our Great Yan Dynasty, so of course you don't know the status of the Taiyi Sect in our Great Yan Dynasty, nor do you know the weight of the Taiyi Sect in everyone's hearts. The Taiyi Sect is a sect that existed in ancient times and has been passed down to this day. I wonder if Your Highness has heard a legend?"

Ye Xianya said calmly, "Legend has it that in ancient times, the Taiyi Sect was the earliest sect to appear in this world. Even the Heavenly Emperor who governs all the gods in the Nine Heavens came from the Taiyi Sect. He was the final victor in the war between gods and demons and was the common ruler of heaven and earth."

Consort Yi was stunned after hearing her words and subconsciously glanced at the emperor beside her.

She had been married into the family for over thirty years and had some understanding of the Taiyi Sect, but she had never heard what this young girl had just said before.

“In my Great Yan Dynasty, no one has ever dared to impersonate a member of the Taiyi Sect. Since I dare to say this, I naturally have evidence. This is not something a mere concubine like you can concern yourself with.”

Consort Yi was so angry at Ye Xianya that her face turned pale. She grabbed the emperor's hand and said in a tearful voice, "Your Majesty, how dare she, a mere maid, bully me like this! You must stand up for me!"

Ye Xianya: "..."

Is this woman out of her mind?

She got goosebumps.

“My beloved consort, the Taiyi Sect is indeed the supreme existence of our Great Yan Dynasty. It is no exaggeration to say that it is above the royal family. The reason why our Great Yan Dynasty is not as plagued by demons as your Jiyuan Kingdom is because of the Taiyi Sect. Those petty villains do not dare to run wild in our Great Yan Dynasty.”

The Emperor gently patted Consort Yi's hand as he spoke: "This young girl is right. The people of the Taiyi Sect are indeed beyond our control, and they don't need to bow to us."

Consort Yi didn't believe the Emperor wasn't bothered, so she quickly took his arm and pleaded, "But Your Majesty... even if she's from the Taiyi Clan, she's still Qi Yanchang's daughter. Logically speaking, we should be her elders, yet she actually..."

Before she could finish speaking, Ye Xianya couldn't help but interrupt her: "My father has been expelled from the royal family and demoted to a commoner. This means that he and the Emperor have severed their father-son relationship. May I ask, Consort Yi, what kind of elder are you to me?"

A woman who is already 49 years old this year, and whose grandchildren are all over 16, is still hugging a man and acting coquettishly. Ye Xianya felt that her eyes were about to be blinded by the spiciness.

That's absolutely the best of the best!

Hearing Ye Xianya's rebuke of Consort Yi, Qi Jiu grinned from ear to ear, showing no restraint whatsoever.

"You...you brat!"

No sooner had Consort Yi spoken than Ye Xianya took action.

"Anyone who dares to speak disrespectfully and insult me ​​will be silenced for life if I use the profound techniques of the Taiyi Sect."

Upon hearing this, Consort Yi swallowed all the words she was about to say and immediately fell silent.

Qi Jiu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

"Qi Yanchang!" Consort Yi shouted.

If she can't deal with that brat who keeps using the Taiyi Sect to intimidate people, can't she at least deal with Qi Yanchang?

"Enough!" The emperor turned his head and glared at her. "Important matters come first."

Consort Yi suppressed her anger and turned to look at Ye Xianya: "Little girl, hand over the longevity pill you took from the bird spirit. It was a gift from my brother to His Majesty."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xianya took out the small wooden box she had kept in her cloth bag without saying a word and handed it to the eunuch standing next to her.

When Consort Yi saw that she handed over the items so readily, she couldn't help but feel uneasy.

She took the emperor's hand and said sweetly, "Your Majesty, what if the longevity pills inside have been replaced?"

"Let's open it and take a look!" the emperor said, frowning.

After the eunuch brought the wooden box over, Consort Yi hurriedly reached out to open it, but she couldn't open it at all.

"What's going on?" Consort Yi's expression changed.

"This wooden box is protected by a curse. Only the bird spirit who delivered it to you knows how to open it, but she is dead. The only way to open it is by force," Ye Xianya said calmly.

She didn't open the wooden box to read the letters inside for two reasons: firstly, it was protected by a seal, and secondly... it was also for her upcoming trip to the palace.

Didn't you hear what this woman just said? It contains a longevity pill.

That's complete nonsense!

She had already calculated that there was a letter inside, written by the emperor of Jiyuan Kingdom to the exceptional Consort Yi.

When Consort Yi heard that the letter was sealed and could not be opened, she knew that something was wrong.

This means that nothing inside has been touched.

She also tried to smear Ye Xianya, saying that what her imperial brother sent was not a letter but a longevity pill.

Now they're in a bit of a bind.

The key point is that the contents of the letter are extremely unfavorable to her, and the emperor must absolutely not see it.

"Send someone to smash it open!" the emperor said in a deep voice, pushing the wooden box forward.

"Yes!" the eunuch replied, and quickly moved the wooden box aside, letting the guard come in and chop it with his knife. However, after chopping it more than a dozen times, the wooden box was not damaged at all, and his fine knife was chipped.

"Your Majesty, this..." The guard was dumbfounded. He had used all his strength to chop, and his arm was numb from the impact.

"Your Majesty, since there are restrictions on this wooden box, let's ask someone from the Ten Great Taoist Sects to help open it another day," Consort Yi said hastily.

She would definitely ask someone she trusted for help, and then she would replace the letter with an ordinary pill to fool them for the time being.

"I can open it for you!" After Ye Xianya finished speaking, she formed a hand seal and gently pointed. The wooden box flew into her hand, and with a faint flash of silver light, the box was opened. A letter flew out and landed directly in front of the emperor.

When Consort Yi saw it, she immediately reached out to grab it, but the letter seemed to have eyes and suddenly moved to the left.

The Emperor turned to look at Consort Yi: "My dear consort, what is the meaning of this?"

"That bird spirit clearly told Jin Sui, who is by my side, that there was a longevity pill in the wooden box. How could it have turned into a letter? It must have been switched. I want to see what's written in this letter."

As Consort Yi spoke, she took the Emperor's arm again: "Your Majesty, someone is definitely trying to slander me. If you don't believe me, just take a look at this letter!"

Upon hearing this, the emperor glanced at her before reaching out to take the letter in front of him and open it.

The letter was extremely brief. The emperor of Jiyuan Kingdom told Consort Yi that the longevity elixir would probably not be ready until next summer, and that she should keep the emperor happy until then.

The emperor of Jiyuan Kingdom also said he wanted to marry a concubine's daughter to the son of Consort Yi, and asked her to facilitate this.
