Xie Zhaozhao laughed so hard her shoulders shook when she heard Nanxing's instructions.

Zhou Shaoyu said through the curtain, "Nanxing, go and keep Yuanyuan company. You don't need to serve here. I can protect Emperor An."

Nanxing wanted to say, "This servant is eager to hear about the cases from the Dali Temple," but he didn't have the courage. He simply said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

Xie Zhaozhao didn't want Nanxing to hear it either. Based on past experience, Zhou Shaoyu would most likely talk about embarrassing cases again, and it wouldn't be good for these no-longer-young men to hear it.

However, when Emperor Chen saw her eyes blinking, he immediately knew she was overthinking things, and he couldn't help but smile.

What he really wanted to say was that he wouldn't talk about those kinds of cases anymore; they were emperors now, and they had to be serious and dignified.

Cough cough cough, he'd rather die than admit it, he's still very brave.

Bei Chen, who was riding a horse outside the carriage and trying to keep his presence low, wasn't as curious as Nan Xing, but he also wanted to hear what his Emperor Chen had to say.

Zhou Shaoyu began to tell his story—

"The Dali Temple has received a thorny case: the prime ministers of Dongli Kingdom and Liao Kingdom have accused the prime minister of Yulong Kingdom of being unethical and nearly causing them to lose their lives."

When he said this, Bei Chen was a little confused: When did the prime ministers of Dongli Kingdom and Liao Kingdom sue the prime minister of Yulong Kingdom?

The two prime ministers of Yulong Kingdom, one is the left prime minister Ling Xun and the other is the right prime minister Xie Yu. Who did they accuse?

But then he heard—

The prime ministers of Dongli Kingdom, Yulong Kingdom, and Liao Kingdom suddenly became lost in a vast desert. They walked for a long time but could not find their way out. The three thought that it was probably over and they would die in the desert.

Suddenly they met a deity who chatted with them and was pleased, saying, "I will grant each of you three wishes. Tell me."

It turns out he was trapped in the desert undergoing a tribulation, and the people he met made three wishes, which he could only fulfill before he could leave.

The prime minister of the Liao Kingdom said, "I want lots and lots of grain."

"Okay, one wish granted."

"I want lots and lots of silver."

"Okay, my second wish, may it be granted."

"I want to go back to my hometown immediately."

The deity snapped his fingers and said, "Alright, it's done!" The prime minister of Liao vanished in an instant.

Upon seeing this, the Prime Minister of Dongli Kingdom immediately exclaimed, "I want it! I want so many beautiful women!"

"Okay, one wish granted."

"I want lots and lots of weapons."

"Okay, my second wish, may it be granted."

"I want to go back to my hometown immediately."

The deity snapped his fingers and said, "Alright, it's done!" The prime minister of Dongli Kingdom vanished in an instant.

It was the Prime Minister's turn. He said, "I would like to transfer what they both want to His Majesty of the Jade Dragon Kingdom."

"Very well, the gifts from the Prime Minister of Liao and the Prime Minister of Dongli shall both be given to Yulong Kingdom."

"My second wish is for them to come back and be with me."

With a "whoosh," the prime ministers of Liao and Dongli returned.

Those two stared at each other, wondering why we're back again.

But before they could ask, they heard the Prime Minister of Yulong Kingdom say, "My third wish is for you and me to leave the desert and return to Yulong."

After saying this, the immortal and the prime minister of the Jade Dragon Kingdom left.

The prime ministers of Liao and Dongli ate grass roots and caught insects, and it took them more than half a year to walk out of the desert. Once they came out, they went to the Dali Temple to file a complaint.

...

At this point, Xie Zhaozhao was already laughing uncontrollably.

Bei Chen stood outside, grinning silently, thinking that he would have to tell Prince Qi (Xie Yu) later and ask if the prime minister was him.

Seeing Xie Zhaozhao happy, Zhou Shaoyu knew that she had overcome her inner conflict, and he was also very happy.

Xie Zhaozhao then asked, "How did the Court of Judicial Review rule?"

Zhou Shaoyu spread his hands: "The Dali Temple naturally couldn't ignore such a matter, so they sent someone to invite the deity."

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review said to the immortal, "Now that these two have complained to the Prime Minister, I feel that this matter cannot be resolved with a beating. Why don't you grant them three more wishes?"

The immortal had been drinking the Jade Dragon Kingdom's Prime Minister's wine for half a year, and feeling embarrassed to refuse, he said, "Then I will grant each of you one wish. Tell me."

Fearing that the prime minister of Yulong would sabotage their plans again, the prime ministers of Liao and Dongli said, "Let him speak first, and we'll speak later."

The Prime Minister of Yulong Kingdom said, "Alright, I'll go first—please send them both back to the desert."

With a "whoosh," the prime ministers of Liao and Dongli left again.

The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review snorted: "You're still too green to fight against our Jade Dragon Prime Minister!"

"Haha..." Bei Chen grinned silently, Dong Yue was alright, but Xi Luo started laughing loudly.

Nanxing, feeling extremely anxious, rode over on his horse and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

At this moment, Bei Chen asked earnestly, "Your Majesty, did those two prime ministers come out alive?"

"They're out," Emperor Chen said seriously. "They've been gone for another six months and are finally back. They've filed a complaint with the Dali Temple again."

"They're really persistent," Bei Chen said. "How did it go this time?"

"The prime ministers of the two countries said: The prime minister of Yulong Kingdom should make a wish first, but you must not send us to the desert again, nor to any place at the ends of the earth."

The gods agreed, and so did the prime minister of the Jade Dragon Kingdom.

At this moment, Zhou Shaoyu asked, "Bei Chen, you've been listening for so long, what wish would you make?"

Bei Chen was so honest that he couldn't possibly come up with any ingenious answer. He said, "Your Majesty, please just tell me directly."
