Chapter 518 What a load of rubbish! You're really good at bragging.

Si Shi looked distressed: "Your Highness is truly wronged. I was so worried about His Majesty that I couldn't eat or drink. His Majesty never mentioned to me that he was leaving the palace."

"Oh?" the Regent said. "Tangtang, it seems the Imperial Advisor is truly unaware of this matter."

Xiao Tang let out a sound of surprise.

She looked at Di Jingling with feigned surprise.

"My husband is right. I just don't understand why the Imperial Advisor is talking so much today. We haven't even come to any conclusions yet,"

The man didn't answer, but simply took her small hand with a half-smile.

Si Shi lowered his eyes, so others couldn't see the sharpness in them.

If you saw it, you would definitely be horrified by the coldness in his eyes.

In the past, the ministers perceived the Grand Preceptor as an sycophant who only knew how to say nice things and make the young emperor happy.

Now……

That doesn't seem like the case anymore.

"Since the Imperial Advisor knows the Emperor so well, why don't you offer some advice? It's not good for the Emperor to always be out there exposed to the elements," Xiao Tang continued.

She dedicated herself to digging holes.

She wouldn't give up until the national advisor jumped into the pit.

Si Shi lowered his voice: "Your Highness, in my opinion, we can use the method of spiritual communication. In that case, we can track the Emperor's location."

"Really?" Xiao Tang feigned surprise. "If I remember correctly, this method of communicating with spirits is a forbidden technique among mystical arts. Could it be that the Imperial Preceptor also knows such a forbidden technique?"

She covered her mouth.

[This is indeed a forbidden technique that is not worth recommending.]

This kind of psychic communication involves evil spirits; it uses evil spirits floating in the human world to search for the person they are looking for.

[How cunning! If that evil spirit kills the target, or even possesses them, wouldn't that be...]

It can only be said that Si Shi really lost his composure and tried to reveal his true colors so quickly.

【Heh, tui~!】

【I'll play along!】

Could this method of communicating with spirits also be used on Di Jingling?

Thinking about it this way, Xiao Tang seemed to have figured things out.

She seemed to understand the reason behind the whole thing.

Of course, this is just my own speculation.

"The Imperial Preceptor's method is inappropriate; I, the Princess Consort, have never heard of it before."

[I've heard of it, but I've also said I haven't. You can act like that, so can I.]

Si Shi indeed took it seriously, thinking that Xiao Tang really didn't know about this spiritual communication technique, and he laughed.

A hint of smugness was clearly hidden in his eyes.

His smugness was practically overflowing from his eyes.

Xiao Tang was speechless.

[Speechless. I was just being polite to this guy, and he actually took it seriously?]

"Your Highness, this technique is a forbidden art and cannot be passed on to outsiders. It is normal that you have not heard of it, and besides, even the Divine Calculation Mountain does not know this method."

It sounds like they're deliberately targeting Shensuan Mountain.

It means that they think Shensuan Mountain isn't very good.

They don't even understand this ancient forbidden technique.

That's terrible.

Xiao Tang rolled her eyes. "That's true. The Imperial Advisor is really learned and versatile. He knows everything."

"You're a complete liar! You're really good at bragging."

"Your Highness is too kind. It is all my duty."

[Give you a little sunshine and you're all smiles; your skin is thicker than a city wall.]

Xiao Tang really thought it was outrageous.

That's outrageous.

"Then, according to the Imperial Preceptor, what should be done?" Emperor Jingling asked in a deep voice.

His tone was displeased.

Because his wife kept nagging at this damned imperial advisor, she ignored him.

"Your Highness and Your Highness, if you trust me, I will summon a spirit tonight and use this spiritual technique to find the Emperor's whereabouts."

Before Di Jingling could speak, Xiao Tang quickly grasped Di Jingling's hand.

The gesture seemed to be telling Di Jingling, "Don't speak, leave it to me."

Di Jingling pursed her lips.

In the end, they remained silent.

Xiao Tang said, "Of course we can trust you. The Imperial Advisor is so capable and knowledgeable, so the Prince and I naturally trust you."

Her voice was very sweet and charming.

It sounds like they genuinely believed in his abilities.

Si Shi smiled and nodded, "Your subject will certainly not fail the trust of the Prince and Princess."

The morning court session thus came to an end.

As Xiao Tang and Di Jingling were about to leave, Yang Defu caught up with them.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, what happened today... did we really let that Imperial Advisor act recklessly?" Yang Defu felt guilty when he thought of his foolish younger brother.

He has now locked his mentally challenged brother in his room.

That brat is not allowed to cause any more trouble.

But……

This imperial advisor is clearly no good.

Seeing his intense gaze and heavy heart, Xiao Tang comforted him, "You can rest assured, even if this person acts recklessly, I will nip him in the bud before he does."

Yang Defu was stunned.

Di Jingling also raised an eyebrow and turned her head to look at her.

A murderous glint appeared in the woman's eyes.

She was quite different from her usual delicate image.

Yang Defu had already experienced the princess's prowess, not only in terms of her magical abilities, but also in her fierce and ruthless nature.

He dared not say anything more, and secretly glanced at Di Jingling's expression.

Goodness.

The Regent's eyes seemed to gleam with light as he looked at the Queen.

That soft light could practically drown you.

Really...

This couple is constantly telling everyone how much they love each other.

Moreover, the Regent's eyes held an expression of pride in the Queen, leaving one speechless.

Seeing that Yang Defu was still standing there, Di Jingling found him somewhat annoying and asked, "Is there anything else you need?"
