"Your Majesty, a letter has arrived from the capital."

Yang Jun handed over a letter with great respect.

He is an old guard beside the empress and has long been able to remain calm and composed. Because he always acts as the chief steward beside the empress and always has a smile on his face, he is nicknamed the smiling scholar-general.

But he was in a very excited mood these days, and instead of a fake smile, he had a more real solemnity.

No one could remain calm after seeing the Empress's laughter and thunder.

I am a mortal in the world, and I am fortunate to serve a wise ruler. Now I know that the emperor is a being comparable to a god. How can I not have my blood boiling and my soul trembling?

Admiration for the strong is an instinct engraved in the human soul.

Not only him, but also officials like Rong Qing felt the same way. Even if the emperor ordered them to die, they could still express their gratitude with a smile and commit suicide.

Xiao Li naturally felt the countless burning gazes and the strange atmosphere around her. She knew it would definitely shock them, but the aftereffects were quite strong.

The letter was written by Song Junzhan. This time, it did not begin with the political affairs of the court. The first sentence was "I miss you like the full moon, whose bright light illuminates my dreams. I do not think of you before we part, but only feel sad about the separation."

He said he missed her, and his longing was like a full moon, overflowing with brilliance.

Before he died, he thought of nothing but the regret of parting with the Empress.

Song Junzhan is restrained and reserved, like ice and snow in spring, like the bright moonlight.

He wrote so many letters, and put all his greetings after the political affairs, for fear that they would overflow and make the empress think that he was indulging in love and selfish desires and not doing his job properly.

Maybe it was because he almost died this time, and the separation of life and death made him feel terrified, so this letter was full of affection, without any disguise, it was all "I miss you, I miss you so much".

After Xiao Li finished reading Song Junzhan's letter, he saw another piece of news sent from the capital: Cen An used ghost needles to forcibly summon the soul, and the prime minister woke up.

Song Junzhan wrote a letter to her as soon as he woke up. He used the fastest Saker Falcon, and it arrived earlier than all the other messages.

Xiao Li did not save Song Junzhan under threat, but she did not feel guilty about her deep affection for him.

She is an emperor, like a towering tree. Only when she is strong can she protect the living creatures that fall on her.

For example, this time, if she compromises, she will be a threat. Song Junzhan will not live peacefully because of her compromise. On the contrary, because he is the first one who can threaten her to compromise, he will be used again and again, and eventually completely annihilated in one game after another.

One punch is enough to prevent a hundred punches from coming.

Only when she is strong enough will the wind and rain give way to her.

After reading it, Xiao Li didn't reply immediately. Instead, he stood up and walked to the door. Looking at the rosy clouds, he asked, "That day wasn't a dream of mine. It was his spirit that came, right?"

She could feel that it was not a dream.

A black shadow emerged from the darkness. He was not afraid of the light. He was the ultimate darkness, and any light would be swallowed up by him.

He glanced at Xiao Li and replied after a while: "Yes, that is his soul."

In order to make the empress even more reluctant and to increase the weight of the threat, the golden consciousness brought the soul of the dying Song Junzhan.

Because it is true, it feels "real" enough. The soul is real, the emotion is real, which makes the empress even more moved and reluctant to let go.

As it turned out, the empress was indeed moved, but her rationality had nothing to do with love. On the contrary, the more she was threatened when her emotions were fluctuating, the more cruel and crazy she became.

His red eyes looked at her, seemingly calm, but actually full of complex confusion.

He is a consciousness, and has seen the seven emotions and six desires of countless people. He believes that he already understands human beings very well, but Xiao Li refreshed his cognition.

She is extremely kind and extremely evil, cold-blooded and kind-hearted, rational and crazy, afraid of death and seeking death, but it does not affect her good life.

He looked up at the sky. After the thunderbolt struck, the clouds and fog dispersed, and the sky was filled with rosy clouds. He retreated.

Looking at Xiao Li again, deep in her soul, a golden light sprouted like a seed, slowly stretching out its roots.

Because of their threats and his thunder, the third consciousness of this world appeared.

A soul from another world was recognized by this world.

The golden consciousness had deceived Xiao Li before. He was also an invader of this world. Obviously, he succeeded, but at the same time, because he broke the eggshell of this world and came in, he also gave others the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

One gold and one white, light and darkness, they have been fighting here for countless years, and no one can win.

Although Xiao Li is a soul from another world, she gave birth to the power of the world in a human body. She is the emperor of the world and the one who gathers the great fortune of heaven and earth.

Originally, they were afraid of summoning consciousness from other worlds and therefore did not dare to kill Xiao Li. Now, it is not that they dare not kill him, but that they cannot kill him.

The most amazing thing is that Xiao Li has no idea of her changes, but she remains fearless.

"I'm tired of seeing the scenery in Yanping Prefecture. It's time to go back."

Xiao Li looked at the black consciousness with a bright smile, as if full of gratitude.

"Xiao Hei, thank you very much this time."

She had a clear distinction between gratitude and resentment, and the black consciousness also wanted her to compromise, but it was not him who hurt Song Junzhan, but it was him who protected Song Junzhan's life.

Black Awareness: ...wasn't happy with her thanks.

I don’t understand why the golden consciousness threatened Xiao Li, but in the end it was He who lost his strength to save people.

It seems like He is the only one who feels threatened from the beginning to the end?

"My name is Ying Zhong."

He is not a human, but He knows that Xiao Hei is not a good name. There are 30,000 dogs and 10,000 black cats with this name in the world.

Xiao Li was surprised: "(⊙o⊙) Wow, Xiao Hei's name is really nice."

Black consciousness: “…” As expected, like repels like, and now He wants to stab her even more.

"You want to go back?"

Xiao Li: "Go back."

Noticing his confusion, Xiao Li raised an eyebrow, "Yanping Prefecture is incredibly poor. The temporary palace is just a prince's mansion. How can it be as comfortable as an imperial palace? Besides, my Prime Minister is in the court."

Ying Zhong: "So why did you choose to die rather than return before?"

We all want to go back, so why do we have to force it?

Xiao Li discovered that this black consciousness was actually quite simple, a bit like someone who was being plotted against but still helped others count their money. Perhaps in the world consciousness, everything was either black or white, and no one's human heart was as complicated as this.

Xiao Li felt no guilt at all for bullying the world consciousness. He grinned wickedly, "Because it's fun."

It was her wish to go back, but she couldn't be forced to go back under threat of a knife.

Ultimately, it’s not about whether to go back or not, but the difference between voluntary and coercive.

But she was too lazy to explain it to this single-celled organism.

Xiao Li was no longer responsible for disaster relief. The six assistant ministers were sent out at the same time and became prefects of the six major states of Yue State.

Yanping Prefecture continues to develop as the main economic entity in the south.

Xiao Li was preparing to return to the capital. He heard that the scenery in Beicang was extremely beautiful at this time, so in order to enjoy the scenery, he took a detour and chose a route closer to Beicang.

Bei Cang, who learned about the Empress's route: "......"
