The emperor almost took the daughter of an enemy country into his household; was he tired of living?

Geriletana, having had her identity exposed, simply stopped pretending, sat down in a chair, and asked Zhou Shaoyu, "How did Emperor Chen discover my identity?"

"Tell me, where did this wooden mask come from?"

"Emperor Chen is very knowledgeable; he's already guessed it!"

Yin Jin'an didn't know what they were talking about, but he knew that the mask was no good.

Jiutian had been calculating on the side, and at this moment she said to Yin Jin'an: "Geriletana, her mother is dead, but she is Ulanbatu's favorite daughter. He even sent her to study at the Jade Dragon Kingdom Academy, and she learns martial arts and forbidden techniques at the Tianshan Taoist Temple."

"She is also the governor of the Liao Dynasty's Hidden Marquis Bureau. She has many, many people under her command, and they gather intelligence in the surrounding countries every day." Jiutian frowned. "Second Uncle, she is a spy."

Geriletana remained calm upon hearing this. Her posture, which had been somewhat ladylike, suddenly became more assertive, and she said with a smile, "This little kid is quite interesting. I've long suspected that you are extraordinary and would be my biggest obstacle in Daqi. I was right."

Yin Jin'an pulled Jiu Tian closer to his chest and said, "If I'm not mistaken, you were the one who harmed Jiu Tian in Zejin City, weren't you?"

“Yes,” Geriletana did not deny it. “I have been investigating Xixia for a long time. I knew about your situation before, but you were sent to the countryside by Minister Cui. At that time, you were still sick. You came back after half a year and were completely cured? You are no longer stupid and your illness is completely cured? I don’t believe it.”

She deliberately stayed near the camp by the Blackwater Lake that time, wanting to observe up close whether Yin Jin'an would still howl at the moon on the night of the full moon.

That day she could see clearly that the moon was about to rise, and Jiutian had been accompanying him all along, even strictly forbidding anyone from entering the military tent.

However, as the night passed, there was not a sound in the entire military tent.

She had learned some magic from her master in Tianshan. She tried to investigate, but found that it was impossible to detect; someone had cast a spell.

The entire military camp was full of rough men, and the only one who could possibly cast spells was Jiutian.

She understood immediately.

"Your Majesty always keeps a little child by your side, not because you love her so much, but because you can't live without her, because she may be your cure, or she may hold the key to saving you."

Geriletana said smugly, "I cast a forbidden spell on her. That box of little clay figures was tainted with something unclean, but it needs the blood of a loved one as a medicinal ingredient. You refused to shed blood even if it meant death. What does that mean?"

She laughed and said that on that day, Yin Jin'an asked repeatedly what would happen if the blood was not from a relative in her anxiety.

She suspected that the two were not related by blood.

“They’re not blood relatives, but she’s always by your side, which means she’s your personal healer,” Geriltana said proudly. “Am I right?”

Jiu said angrily, "You're talking nonsense. He is my second uncle. The reason he didn't bleed that day was because we knew you were a bad person, so he pretended to faint for your sake."

Upon hearing this, Yin Jin'an pursed her lips. This guy's lie was quite convincing.

“You don’t need to deny it. Didn’t you just tell my fortune? That just proves that you are a true Taoist priest. You’re keeping him by your side to cure his illness.”

Jiutian was truly speechless, and in a fit of anger, he said, "How about I stay by my second uncle's side to get treatment? You're so ugly, even if you wanted to stay by my second uncle's side, he wouldn't want you! Humph, I can tell fortunes, but you can eat."

Xie Zhaozhao smiled lovingly at the side.

Jiutian is so cute.

But what's the deal with that mask? It sounds like in Zejin City, Jiutian almost killed Geriletana, didn't he?

His face turned extremely pale in an instant.

"Geriltana, did you cast a forbidden spell on the Nine Heavens?"

"I just wanted to try it out; I didn't mean to harm anyone."

Before she could finish speaking, Madman Chu, who had been peeking back from outside, heard her and shouted, "You vile woman, you harmed my master and you still have the nerve to say you didn't? You almost killed my master!"

"Didn't I use my own blood as a medicinal ingredient to save her life?"

“The blood isn’t yours, and you’ve left behind hidden dangers. It may look better on the surface, but you can control the relapse at any time.”

The two were arguing when Zhou Shaoyu said calmly, "Gerilletana, fifty years ago, a coffin was dug out from a large tomb in the Liao Dynasty. The skeleton belonged to a noblewoman from hundreds of years ago. It was neither decayed nor rotten, and a large clump of asafoetida grew out of the bones, right?"

Some nobles in ancient times were fond of health preservation and consumed many precious medicinal herbs during their lives. After death, a woody substance called "Ferula" would grow from their bones. It was said to be a magical medicine that could cure all diseases.

However, for healthy people or for extremely vicious forbidden arts, asafoetida is used as a catalyst.

Geriletana gave an awkward laugh: "Emperor Chen of the Jade Dragon Kingdom is indeed learned. Meeting him today, I am truly impressed!"

This mask is not entirely made of asafoetida, but rather the asafoetida used for the illustrations on both sides and the carving on the nose. In other words, those carvings are all inlaid with asafoetida.

Xie Zhaozhao was furious and said to Geriletana without any politeness, "You don't need to stay in Qi anymore. Go back and tell Ulanbatu that my Yulong Kingdom will deploy troops to Liao Dynasty next month."

Geriletana panicked immediately: "I was just joking with Princess Longxiang, why is your country about to resort to force?"

Zhou Shaoyu said calmly, "Who's joking with you?"

Now, Geriletana was truly terrified. She had originally thought that Emperor Aotian was insane, and that she could seduce him, enter the palace, and gradually infiltrate the Hidden Marquis Bureau. With that, the annexation of the Great Qi into the Liao Dynasty would be just around the corner.

As for her losing her virginity to the Aotian Emperor, what could be greater than expanding territory?

Besides, Emperor Aotian is the most handsome man in the world, so it's not certain who will come out on the losing end!

What's going on with the Jade Dragon Kingdom? Why is it about to attack the Liao Dynasty?

Yin Jin'an glanced at her indifferently: "Our Great Qi will also launch a war against the Liao Dynasty next month."

“Your Majesty, I only wanted to tell Jiutian to stay away from you. She is, after all, a girl. Boys and girls should not sit together after the age of seven. She is five years old and you are still with her…”

"roll!"

Yin Jin'an angrily said, "Xiahou Yan, throw her out, send people to drive her out of the post station, and drive her out of the border of Qi."

"Furthermore, order Wang Can to immediately send someone to inform Li Ziwei to cooperate and convey my decree: Zhao Song's family has colluded with foreign enemies, sold out the country for personal gain, and harmed the people. All the men should be killed, and the women should be reduced to slaves."

Zhao Song knows nothing? You're kidding me.

Geriletana was driven out, and Yin Jin'an ordered Wang Can to write a letter to the Liao Dynasty: "Your princess Geriletana has been plotting against the Great Qi under an assumed name, and has poisoned Princess Longxiang. The Great Qi will deploy troops to the Liao Dynasty on the tenth day of the next month."

Wang Can responded and went to compose the official letter.

"I will immediately transfer twenty cartloads of new iron mines and gunpowder packs from Yulong for you. Chu Zhongtian will stay behind, and the mine-making craftsmen will be transferred to you at the same time."

Xie Zhaozhao looked at Yin Jin'an and said, "Yulong will send troops at the same time as you. We will meet in the capital of Liao Dynasty at the end of next month."

Xiahou Yan listened with great excitement. His Majesty has such a good brother, he has no choice but to send a gift!

Harm the heavens? Both the leaders of the two countries were enraged. Liao Dynasty, just wait for your country to be destroyed!
