The next morning, Mo Beichen went to the palace to find Xuan Ming.

Xuan Ming was somewhat shocked after hearing Mo Beichen's words, "Did she really say that?"

A single punch can ward off a hundred more.

It takes immense courage to say something like that.

Once they decide to help the Holy Sky Continent, they will be completely at odds with the Void Continent and the Ghost Continent, leaving little room for maneuver.

Mo Beichen nodded, his tone full of pride, "She was always good."

Xuanming was speechless at this sudden remark.

He shook his head and couldn't help but say, "Look at you, you don't look like you've lost your memory at all."

After he finished speaking, he noticed the change in Mo Beichen's emotions and his expression froze.

He immediately changed the subject, "When are you planning to leave?"

Mo Beichen remained silent for a long while before finally saying, "The sooner the better."

He knew this battle would last a long time, and the sooner he could set off, the sooner he could return to the Sumeru Continent.

Xuanming glanced at Mo Beichen and said in a gentle tone, "I do intend to send more soldiers over, but they will depart in three days."

Mo Beichen said coldly, "Too slow." His tone was full of disdain.

Xuan Ming was speechless. "You think you can gather an army of five million in a short time? You think it's something that can be accomplished with just a few words?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Beichen was slightly surprised and raised an eyebrow. "Are you really planning to get rid of the Void Continent and the Ghost Continent?"

Xuan Ming stood up and walked towards Mo Beichen, saying as he walked, "Hmm, these two continents have big ambitions. Keeping them around will only cause trouble. Although other continents are constantly making small moves, they are at least clear-headed when it comes to important matters and know how to cherish their people. But these two continents, for their own selfish reasons, do not care at all about the people suffering in dire straits. It's better to get rid of them."

Upon hearing this, Mo Beichen looked at Xuan Ming and smiled, "Not bad."

This time, it was Xuanming's turn to be surprised.

It's so rare to hear a word of praise from him.

Just as he was about to say something, Mo Beichen brought up another matter.

"I heard you strongly encouraged those people to seek refuge in the Xuancang Continent?" This was the news that Mo Beichen received when he woke up in the morning.

Many people from the Void Continent and the Ghost Continent have already appeared on the borders of the Xuancang Continent.

Xuan Ming sighed, "Speaking of this, I'm getting angrier and angrier. The Void Continent and the Ghost Continent completely disregard the common people, and are even ruthless enough to kill them."

Mo Beichen was taken aback. "What's going on?"

Xuan Ming directly told Mo Beichen the information he had gathered: "The royal families of the Void Continent and the Ghost Continent have issued an order: any deserter will be killed without mercy. They would rather their people die in the crossfire of war than leave their homes to seek a new way of life."

Mo Beichen was shocked upon hearing this.

Xuanming then revealed something even more shocking: "At the city gates of the Void Continent and the Ghost Continent, the guards specifically kill civilians fleeing the city. Isn't that despicable?"

He was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table.

Upon hearing this, Mo Beichen felt a chill run down his spine.

He suddenly remembered his elder brother, who cherished his reputation. Although they fought each other to the death, he at least pretended to be kind to the people on the surface.

“Alright, we’ll set off in three days. I’m off.” After confirming the time, Mo Beichen turned and left.

Mu Zhi brought in two cups of tea.

"Huh? Has he already left?" Mu Zhi looked around but couldn't find Mo Beichen anywhere.

Xuanming looked at Muzhi helplessly and sighed, "I've already said that these things can be done by the palace servants."

Mu Zhi rubbed her shoulders and muttered, "I know this is beneath my dignity, but I got up early this morning and spent an hour learning palace affairs from Granny Liu, so I thought I'd stretch my legs a bit."

Xuanming smiled slightly. "That's not what I meant. You don't need to care about your status. No matter what you look like, you are the Empress of the Xuancang Dynasty, and that will never change. I just don't want you to overwork yourself."

Mu Zhi smiled and said, "Okay, I understand. I came here because I have something I want to discuss with you."

Xuanming turned his head, asking in confusion, "What is it?"

Mu Zhi said firmly, "I want to go to the city gate to provide disaster relief myself. Now that I've learned enough about palace affairs, I have some free time. Refugees from the Ghost Continent and the Void Continent have fled to the Xuancang Continent, and some border residents are also fleeing here. I want to do something about it."

Xuanming pondered for a moment, then shook his head. "Just send someone to do it. You don't need to go yourself. It's so chaotic outside right now. What if you get hurt or something happens to you? It's safer to stay in the palace."

Mu Zhi was silent for a moment, then asked in a calm tone, "If I were Yun Qingluo, with very powerful martial arts skills, would you feel at ease letting me go?"

If she is very capable, has a strong ability to protect herself, and is also very smart and decisive, then she can help him, right?

Xuanming was taken aback, not understanding why Yun Qingluo would be mentioned out of the blue.

He stood up, walked over to Mu Zhi, and explained, "I was worried about you getting hurt, not that I dislike you. Don't overthink it. Even if it were Yun Qingluo, if she insisted on going, I think Mo Beichen would be very worried about her too."

If Mo Beichen were there, he would definitely retort, "Luo Luo can go to the wilderness while pregnant. It's just a disaster relief trip at the city gate. Just consider it a way to relax. I'm not worried at all."

Mu Zhi remained silent.

Xuanming rubbed his temples, looking a bit annoyed. "I have a lot of things to do here and can't take care of you. You should take more people with you, and Fengxuan should take a few more."

Mu Zhi then revealed a smile.

“I know you’re busy, so leave these little things to me. I’ve already figured out a way to settle the refugees.” Mu Zhi smiled and pulled Xuan Ming to sit down in a chair, then massaged his shoulders.

Xuanming comfortably closed his eyes and asked softly, "What method?"

“I want to build a relief center outside the city gate. It needs to be large. One of the estates is one of my dowry estates, so we can just requisition it. As for the other estate, it’s an imperial estate. I’ve come to ask for your opinion.” Mu Zhi said while massaging Xuan Ming’s shoulders.

"It's that imperial estate left by the late emperor. We haven't been there or used it for so many years. If we were to go there, it would need extensive renovations before it could be used. If you want to requisition it, go ahead and use it; it will save you a lot of money." Xuanming opened his eyes, thought for a moment, and then answered Mu Zhi.

Mu Zhi nodded, "I don't plan to use that place to house refugees. I plan to transform it into a school for ordinary people. I've chosen a homophone for your name, which means a school for commoners."

"Also, I want to set up a girls' academy inside." Mu Zhi finished stating her ideas in one breath, but didn't receive a reply from Xuan Ming for a long time.

"What's wrong? Did I say something wrong?" Mu Zhi asked softly.
