Chapter 595 She is a fox demon!

Emperor Ming failed to grasp the deeper meaning in his words and his brows furrowed in displeasure.

"Princess Lisa is indeed as beautiful as an angel. It would be a real pity if you didn't get to see her."

Yuan Lingxian laughed heartily: "I am different from Emperor Ming. I am not lustful. My heart is at peace and my body is at ease. No matter how beautiful a woman is or how ugly she is, she cannot move my heart in the slightest!"

Emperor Ming snorted coldly and remained silent.

In this respect, Yuan Lingxian is indeed quite different from him.

Xuanxu frowned and looked at Emperor Ming: "Your Majesty, Yuan Lingxian is so arrogant. Should we torture him to show him our power?"

Emperor Ming took a deep breath and said patiently, "Grand Preceptor, torture cannot solve everything. Back then, Princess Ling gave Yuan Lingxian a medicine to make him vomit truth, but it still couldn't make him reveal the secret to longevity. Over the years, I have used countless tortures, both large and small, and he is no longer bothered by them."

Yuan Lingxian laughed wildly, his eyes filled with arrogance.

"As expected, Emperor Ming understands me best! As for you, you hypocritical Grand Preceptor, you should just go back to the mountain and live your wild life, so as not to embarrass yourself here!"

Hearing the disdain in Yuan Lingxian's words, Xuanxu clenched his fists in anger, his face turning cold.

"I was living in the mountains before, which was far better than you being imprisoned. Where do you get your sense of superiority to look down on me like this?"

Yuan Lingxian ignored him and looked at Emperor Ming meaningfully.

“Your Majesty, Princess Lisa is indeed a good match for you, and the Imperial Advisor is also wholeheartedly devoted to you.”

"If you intend to take her as your concubine, and with the support of the Imperial Advisor, your future rule of the country will surely be smooth sailing."

Emperor Ming's eyes flickered, and he gave a cold smile.

"Yuan Lingxian, if there is such a good thing, why would you be so kind as to tell me?"

He had imprisoned Yuan Lingxian for many years. Yuan Lingxian should hate him to the extreme. How could she possibly remind him?

Moreover, putting aside Lisa's character, just look at Xuanxu... He's clearly a wolf in sheep's clothing lurking around him, the person he hates most in his life!

Yuan Lingxian smiled mysteriously and said, "Your Majesty will know in the future. I will not lie to you about this kind of thing, just like I once told you that the Divine Reveler was up to something."

He paused, then carefully observed Emperor Ming's expression.

A decision was gradually forming in my mind.

In the past few days, he calculated the time and knew that the divine revealer would gradually show signs.

The Emperor Ming came specifically to see him, so he probably already knows who the divine revealer is...

A deep sense of disappointment and regret flashed in Yuan Lingxian's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

If Emperor Ming truly received divine revelation, the Western Regions would have no future.

Even with Princess Lisa's arrival and concerted efforts, it's unlikely she can save the Western Regions...

Yuan Lingxian looked sharply at Xuanxu, her eyes full of calculation.

Fortunately, we have Xuanxu and the Empress to rely on.

This mysterious national teacher clearly came here to escape disaster and flee from Emperor Ming.

But he had a rebellious and cunning look on his face; he was definitely not a good person.

"Where is the divine reveler? I do not yet know. He had better be making great strides, or I will surely come to hold you accountable!"

Emperor Ming took a deep breath, not daring to question Yuan Lingxian in detail in front of Xuanxu.

He said in a deep voice, "Imperial Preceptor, come with me for a walk. I'm feeling restless here."

Xuanxu glared at Yuan Lingxian and said respectfully, "Yes."

Xuan Shi accompanied Emperor Ming on a stroll in the Imperial Garden.

The autumn air is crisp and clear, with a cool breeze that is very pleasant.

Emperor Ming looked at the fallen leaves and flowers in the imperial garden, a cold smile playing on his lips.

"What exactly did the Imperial Advisor go to the Imperial Study for today?"

Xuanxu's heart skipped a beat, but he forcibly suppressed his nervousness.

"Your Majesty, didn't I just say that I went to find Yuan Lingxian, hoping to find out from him the method of longevity suitable for you? But I didn't expect that fellow to deny it to the death."

A mocking smile flashed in Emperor Ming's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

He looked at Xuanxu meaningfully and asked, "Master Xuanxu, can I trust you?"

Xuanxu was startled by his unfounded words and couldn't help but feel uneasy.

He pondered for a moment, then said firmly, "Your Majesty, you are my benefactor, giving me the opportunity to display my talents. If you cannot even trust me, then who can you trust?"

Emperor Ming laughed heartily and patted Xuanxu's shoulder heavily, saying, "Come, play a couple of games of chess with me in the pavilion. But this time you must be serious and not let me win again."

Having received Emperor Ming's instructions, Xuanxu also developed a competitive spirit.

The two played several rounds of games under the pavilion, and Emperor Ming was quickly defeated.

Xuanxu laughed heartily, a smug look in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, it seems I have good luck today. I'm honored to have won."

Emperor Ming smiled slightly and looked at Xuanxu, saying, "It seems that the Imperial Advisor did indeed hide his abilities from me before, and I should not have underestimated you."

"Your Majesty is too kind. It's only today. Perhaps today is my lucky day."

Xuanxu slightly curled his lips, a cryptic look flashing in his eyes.

Xu An caught up and hurriedly reported, "Your Majesty, rumors are flying everywhere in the capital, it's quite a scene."

Emperor Ming narrowed his cold eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu An respectfully said, "Your Majesty, many people say that Princess Ling is a living goddess, but there is another group of people who hold the opposite view, saying that Princess Ling is a witch who came to bring disaster to Daqian."

As Xu An spoke, he subconsciously looked at Xuanxu.

Just now, when Eunuch Su went to fetch tea, he specifically instructed him to put on this show in front of Xuanxu.

He arrived as promised.

Emperor Ming looked surprised, as if he were hearing this for the first time.

"There's actually such a saying?"

Xuanxu raised an eyebrow, a look of seriousness flashing in his eyes.

"Your Majesty, this is no small matter. You must be careful."

Emperor Ming placed a black stone and casually asked Xuanxu, "What does the Imperial Advisor think? In your heart, is Princess Ling a demoness or a goddess?"

Xuanxu counted on his fingers, pretending to do some calculations.

"Your Majesty, there is something I have wanted to tell you for a long time, but I kept it from you out of consideration for your feelings and because I was afraid you would overthink it."

Emperor Ming raised an eyebrow, looking at him thoughtfully, and said, "Please speak freely, Grand Preceptor. When have I ever doubted you?"

Upon hearing this, Xuanxu stood up and respectfully bowed.

"Your Majesty, in fact, I had long suspected that Princess Ling was that evil star, but her sorcery was too powerful, to the point that it could even bewitch people's minds!"

I also lack a complete way to deal with her, therefore I have kept quiet.

Emperor Ming's expression turned serious, and he gripped the chess piece tightly in his large hand, hesitating to make a move.

He stared sharply at Xuanxu: "Is the Imperial Preceptor's statement true?"

Xuanxu nodded: "Your Majesty, I have no reason to lie to you! I dared not speak because I feared that Princess Ling would harm you."

Emperor Ming narrowed his tiger-like eyes dangerously.

"Is she really that powerful? What kind of monster is she?"

He wanted to see what this mysterious dog could possibly spew out!

Xuanxu took a deep breath, his expression serious.

“Your Majesty, I have observed carefully and found that Princess Ling is a fox spirit incarnate, skilled at bewitching people.”

"Women are fine, but men who fall under her spell will believe her without question."

Emperor Ming stroked his beard, his face solemn and deep in thought.

"Such a thing is actually happening..."

Seeing that Emperor Ming seemed to believe him, Xuanxu continued to embellish the story.

"If you don't believe me, just look at Prince Ling. Prince Ling used to be brave and skilled in battle, and quite opinionated. But now he's also deeply entangled in that vixen's seductive arts, and even disregards everything for her."

Eunuch Su found it amusing, but his face was full of fear.

He couldn't help but chime in, "Your Majesty, the Imperial Advisor is right. I was wondering why His Highness Prince Ling was so infatuated with Princess Ling; it turns out he was bewitched!"
