"What I mean is, everyone in the world is driven by self-interest. If the Empress Dowager has such thoughts, the Empress and the Emperor probably do as well. Their relationship is already strained, so we can take advantage of this to completely divide them."

In this way, the threat from the Zhao royal family can be ignored!

After Ji Fengyao finished speaking, she carefully observed the reactions of the three men.

"no!"

"I object!"

Shang Xiye and Ji Chenhai both had dark expressions and immediately voted against it.

Ji Fengming instantly understood Ji Fengyao's plan, narrowing his clear phoenix eyes and saying, "Little sister, you're very naughty, but your brother likes it very much!"

Black Owl nodded and said, "Little Yao'er's method is indeed a brilliant delaying tactic; in this way, we can concentrate our efforts on investigating the person hiding in the palace. This person's strength is unfathomable, and he is our biggest threat at present."

“You have no idea how dirty and dark the struggles in the palace are. If you become their target, Yao Yao, you will become the target of everyone’s attacks. They might rather destroy you than let any one of them have you. I can’t let you take that risk.” Shang Xiye held Ji Fengyao’s hand tightly, as if he was about to hide her away immediately.

Ji Fengyao patted Shang Xiye's hand reassuringly with her other small hand, and said domineeringly, "Your Highness, have you forgotten? I am now a sixth-level Spirit Gathering cultivator. What emperor, empress dowager, princes? They are just small fry. I can take them down one by one, and a hundred of them will be a whole basketful."

As long as the person hiding in the palace doesn't make a move, they can't do anything to me.

"What if that person from the palace makes a move?" Ji Chenhai frowned slightly.

Ji Fengyao spread her small hands and said playfully, "If he makes a move, then I can only become his slave in exchange for everyone's safety and freedom."

Alchemists are treasures in the cultivation world, and are sought after by major cultivation families. No cultivator would be so foolish as to kill an alchemist who might be willing to serve them.

So no matter what, I am safe.

On the contrary, you must be careful and calm when facing such a formidable opponent.

Fight if you can win, run if you can't, and do everything you can to save your life if you can't escape. In the world of cultivators, only by living can you have a future and all possibilities; as for face and integrity, pick them up and put them away depending on the situation. Nothing is more important than saving your life.

"Clap clap clap!" Ji Fengming nodded repeatedly, clapping his hands in agreement: "As expected of my sister, what you said is absolutely right. I've said it before, to venture into the martial world with pride and integrity is no different from courting death."

Okay, it's settled then!

As for those bastards in the palace, you two, sister and brother-in-law, will handle them.

"Brother-in-law, send some of your men to Xiao Chen. He, my father, and I will be responsible for tracking down the person hiding in the palace. Even if we have to turn the capital and the palace upside down, we'll wipe them out!"

Upon hearing this, Shang Xiye knew that the matter was unavoidable, so he didn't object anymore. It wasn't that he wanted his wife to take the risk, but rather that he understood the true nature of those people better than anyone else.

Just as the young wife said, the Empress Dowager had already set her sights on her; the Empress, the Emperor, and those princes were all no pushovers.

Rather than letting them use underhanded tactics, it's better to have the young wife in their sights, inciting them to compete with each other.

Therefore, he had a legitimate reason to take action to "protect himself" this time.

Ji Fengyao and Ji Fengming were so engrossed in their conversation that they didn't notice the thoughts hidden beneath Shang Xiye's calm expression.
