There were many guards and secret agents in the palace. Xiahou Yan led the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry to guard the palace, and he saw Feng Wuwei immediately.

But the moment he stepped out, he overheard the conversation between His Majesty and Feng Wuwei, and stopped in his tracks.

This is Princess Longxiang's senior brother, an acquaintance of His Majesty.

They all knew that Princess Longxiang was a young Taoist priestess with powerful magic, but since they met and spent time together every day, they gradually came to regard her as a member of the royal family.

Now that a senior disciple has appeared and wants to take Princess Longxiang away, they realize that Princess Longxiang is not a person of their Great Qi at all; she is truly a celestial child.

Having witnessed the farewell between the uncle and nephew, and with His Majesty not summoning them, they were unable to come out and stop them.

Seeing His Majesty fall off the roof, Xiahou Yan immediately came to catch him.

Yin Jin'an was completely confused. She could no longer reach the heavens and spun around in a daze.

As if realizing what had happened, he stumbled to the palace where Jiutian was resting.

Her palace, like herself, was extremely simple. She didn't take anything that had been bought for her; she only took the small bag containing talismans and the Taoist robe she was wearing.

Nine Heavens...

Yin Jin'an grasped her small robe, but could no longer hold her soft little hand; despair surged up like a tide.

In his past life, he was disliked by his mother from a young age and was framed by his elder brother. In this life, his father does not love him, and his mother turns him into a human gu to fight for the world.

In his past life, Xie Zhaozhao was like a warm sun illuminating his muddled half-life; in this life, Jiutian gave him the courage to live on.

But Xie Zhaozhao married Old Man Zhou, and Jiutian simply never saw her again.

In his past life, he had Li Yunmu and Zhou Lingyin by his side. But in this life, he is alone in the cold palace, the long nights are endless. What is there to look forward to?

。 ゜゜(′Ｏ`)゜゜.

Suddenly, a commotion erupted in the capital as countless martial arts masters surged toward the palace.

Xiahou Yan immediately separated a group of people to protect Yin Jin'an, while another group went to meet the enemy.

Yin Jin'an was somewhat dazed by Jiu Tian's departure, standing in Jiu Tian's palace, her mind wandering to the heavens.

After a long while, Xiahou Yan, standing at the door, had no choice but to report: "Your Majesty, it is the Spirit Clan. They want to see Your Majesty, saying they have a miraculous medicine to cure Your Majesty's poison."

Hehe! Yin Jin'an put down what she was holding, turned around, and asked, "Where are they?"

"Outside the palace gates."

Yin Jin'an looked at the bright moon hanging high in the sky and chuckled. "Quite good at picking your time."

"Open the palace gates, I'm going to meet these good relatives from my maternal clan."

Almost all the leaders of the Spirit Clan came out of the mountains this time.

Hundreds of people waited silently in the square outside the palace gates.

They had dismounted, and in front of them was a row of Eldar core figures, with an elderly man in the very center dressed in elaborate high priest robes.

To his right was a middle-aged couple, and to his left was a bright young girl. Upon closer inspection, the girl bore a striking resemblance to Yin Jin'an in appearance.

If you look closely at the hundreds of people behind them, you'll find that they all have the same posture: heads down, hands hanging down, and faces stiff.

They're all puppet soldiers!!

The palace gates opened, and the emperor's imperial carriage emerged, surrounded by the imperial guards.

Since Yin Jin'an became emperor, he issued an order: the palace will no longer accept eunuchs, and no matter how poor the people are, they are not allowed to castrate their offspring, otherwise they will lose their heads.

Therefore, the palace is now filled with imposing imperial guards.

High Priest Jiang Jingzong stood before the crowd, first performing a simple bow, and chanted: "May the great Shiva of the Spirit Clan bless the Emperor of Great Qi with boundless blessings."

A deafening roar of blessings erupted: "May the great Shiva bless the Emperor of Great Qi with boundless fortune!"

Yin Jin'an didn't get out of the sedan chair, and coldly said to them, "My beloved ministers of the Spirit Clan, please rise."

Jiang Jingzong was very surprised to see that Yin Jin'an refused to get out of the sedan chair, and that she did not go mad on the night of the full moon.

"High Priest Jiang Jingzong of the Spirit Clan greets His Majesty the Emperor."

"Oh, High Priests, are you serious about coming to the palace in the dead of night to see me? Who gave you the right to disturb the people at night? Who gave you the audacity to bring so many people to force me to abdicate?"

Yin Jin'an was not wronging this person. He could clearly sense that the hundreds of people behind them, although not a particularly large number, were under a restriction.

They are all puppets.

To put it bluntly, they are all at the level of human-made poison.

Yin Jin'an was unaware of how many Gu Kings the Spirit Clan had cultivated, but he was now the true Gu Emperor.

Before today, he was at best a half-finished product.

Hearing his reprimand, Jiang Jingzong was displeased and frowned, saying, "We came to help His Majesty. We have been traveling day and night and have only just entered the city. We are in a hurry to see His Majesty."

"Oh, when does the gate of my imperial city open at 9 PM?"

“We entered the city during the day…” the high priest said with dissatisfaction. “Your Majesty, we are here to help you. We have no ill intentions. We are all Your Majesty’s relatives.”

Yin Jin'an didn't want to argue with them, so he said, "Since they are my relatives, then they should all stay at the post station. I will see them again another day when I have time."

As Jiang Jingzong watched his palanquin prepare to leave, he angrily said, "Your Majesty, are you not going to invite us into the palace?"

"No invitation! How about that?"

“I am your maternal grandfather. I am the reason you are where you are today.”

Yin Jin'an patted the sedan chair again, and the imperial guards stopped.

"How dare you! How have you helped me? By sending troops? By providing provisions? Or by offering your labor?"

“You, your mother is my daughter, you are my grandson. Without me, there would be no mother, no you.”
