Tiandao glanced at the Star Lord Siming.
"You wish Wuya bad luck, don't you?"
Sima Xingjun smiled and nodded.
“I am a little selfish. Who told the demons to start a war? After losing, they still hold grudges and seek revenge?
We finally managed to gather the Empress's spirit, and now they're trying to cause trouble, so they deserve to be punished."
Tiandao drank his tea by himself.
After a long time.
Then he slowly uttered, "I only know that the Nangong family's boys and their mothers are notorious for being very protective of their children."
The Star Lord of Destiny nodded.
“I heard that Nangong Xunhuan and his wife are coming back, and they love the two younger ones the most.
It's still unclear whether he will rush to the demon world in a rage and turn the world upside down when he returns this time."
Tiandao glanced at the Star Lord Siming with displeasure.
"You're just worried about the world being in chaos, aren't you?"
Siming Xingjun was busy and servilely grinning: "With you here, how dare I act rashly?!
I am only speaking the truth. When the Empress's mother gets angry, she won't recognize any relatives."
"Hmph, I think you're very daring. Watch carefully, otherwise if something goes wrong, I'll be the first to punish you."
The Star Lord Sima Ming was not angry even after being scolded, but stared at the magic mirror with a smile.
Xizhou City.
Two days later, Liu Hao, along with Nangong Yunxue and her daughter, General Chu, and a group of guards, crossed the border and headed for Xizhou City.
When the common people along the way heard the news, they rushed to the official road and knelt to welcome him.
"Your Highness, welcome! Your Highness, welcome the Princess..."
Liu Hao stood at the edge of the carriage, waving to the people and shouting, "Go back and live a good life!"
Nangong Jiu stood on Nangong Yunxue's legs, leaned against the car window, stuck his head out of the window, and waved to the people like Liu Hao.
[Mother, the people are saying they are welcoming the princess.]
Nangong Yunxue smiled and nodded: "Well, you are the princess of Dongling, of course the people have to welcome you respectfully."
[Hehe... If they knew I was the deity who appeared to help them, would they be more enthusiastic?]
Nangong Yunxue deliberately teased the little guy.
"That's for sure! What? You don't want to keep a low profile anymore and want to reveal your identity?"
[No! Keep a low profile, you must keep a low profile!] Nangong Jiu shook his head like a rattle.
When the enthusiastic people saw Nangong Jiu, they rushed forward and offered him fruits, eggs and other food.
"Princess, Princess, this is my own home!"
Ah Bing and her sisters hurriedly stood beside the carriage to block it, fearing that something might happen.
Nangong Jiu seized the opportunity, stretched out his little hand from the gap between the people, took a fruit and stuffed it into his mouth with a smile.
This people-friendly move attracted the people to rush forward to give gifts.
"Princess, eat the grass people!"
"Princess, Princess..."
Nangong Jiu was so excited that he was twisting his little butt around, and Xiao Wang was squatting beside him with his tongue sticking out, grinning foolishly.
The carriage finally arrived at the city gate.
Liao Yongxian brought all the civil and military officials in the court and waited here respectfully. When he saw someone, he hurried forward to pay his respects.
"Your Highness, your Highness, and the Princess!"
Liu Hao got off the carriage holding Nangong Jiu.
"Get up, thank you all for your hard work!"
Liu Hao turned to the people again and gave an impromptu speech to comfort them: "Fellow villagers, from now on, we are one family.
Don't worry, you can continue to do what you need to do and it will not be affected in any way.
Dongling is a country blessed by the gods, and everyone's future will only get better and better..."
The people knelt and shouted.
"Long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, long live the Emperor, a thousand years ...
"Okay, go home!" Liu Hao waved to the people.
Liao Yongxian led the ministers in the front to lead the way, and the carriage slowly entered the city.
The people in the city stood on both sides of the street, and knelt down to pay their respects when the carriage passed by them.
"Your Highness, welcome! Your Highness, welcome the Princess..."
As Nangong Jiu smiled, his eyes began to turn red.
How could the old emperor be willing to treat such kind people like this?
Nangong Yunxue sighed, "Yes, it is said that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. The people don't really want much."
The ministers led Liu Hao and his entourage to a house in the city.
"Your Highness and the Princess will live here temporarily and move in once the mansion is completed."
Liu Hao nodded: "Okay, you've all worked hard all day, go back, we can talk tomorrow if there's anything."
Liao Yongxian and the ministers bowed and left.
General Chu and his guards searched the house carefully, and only after confirming that everything was correct did they let everyone in and settle down.
In the evening.
Nangong Jiu had nothing better to do, so he rode Xiao Wang around the house and asked with his spiritual sense, "What do you think of this house?"
Little Wang shook his big ears and said, "Not bad, almost the same as the Second Prince's house in the capital."
Nangong Jiu clapped his hands happily: "Then uncle's mansion will be built according to this house.
Tomorrow, we will go level the palace and have the Ministry of Works start construction. Uncle will have his own house to live in next year."
At the end of the next day.
The ministers came to ask to see Liu Hao.
Minister Wang of the Ministry of Revenue was holding an antique box and several books containing the palace’s treasures.
"Your Highness, all the items used in the palace have been sold at a discount. This is the list of the silver we received.
In addition, some items from the warehouses have been moved out and placed in a safe place. Here is the list and the treasury silver book."
Liu Hao took them one by one and flipped through them roughly.
"Has the palace been completely emptied?"
"It's completely emptied." Minister Wang nodded quickly and handed the box in his hands to Liu Hao with both hands.
"There's something strange about this box. I can't open it no matter what I do. I don't know what's inside. I don't know what to do with it, so I can only bring it here and let Your Highness decide."
Liu Hao took it and examined it carefully for a long time, but couldn't figure out what it was.
"Where was this found?"
“The warehouse where valuables are stored is the private vault of the late emperor.
It is not listed in the book in the private library. We have no choice but to take it out."
Liu Hao nodded: "Alright, leave it to me."
Nangong Jiu, who was peeking out from outside the door to watch the excitement, looked at the box and felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.
He hurried forward and pointed at the box: "Beep..."
Liu Hao nodded: "You want it, right? If you want, take it."
Nangong Jiu happily held the box in his arms.
Minister Wang became anxious and hurried to stop him.
"Your Highness, we don't know what's in that box yet. What if we hurt the princess?"
"Don't worry, she has the protection of the gods, no matter what's inside, it can't hurt her!
Besides, if we can't open it, maybe the spirits around her can help it open."
Nangong Jiu held the box and rode Xiao Wang back to the room like a gust of wind.
Nangong Yunxue noticed the little guy was acting mysteriously, so she picked him up curiously and glanced at the box: "Jiu'er, what treasure did you get?"
[I don't know what it is yet, but this box looks familiar to me.]
"Familiar? Could it be something you recognize?"
