Chapter 389 Does Master Qingfeng Want to Be the Imperial Preceptor?
With some time still remaining before dawn, Yu Zhiyi set up the formation according to the guidance of "The Hundred Flowers Kill".
She didn't go in immediately, but stared at the book on formations for a while.
Fifteen minutes later, she put down her book and stepped into the illusion array.
While Yu Zhiyi was studying the formation, the Empress Dowager flew into a rage.
"Master Qingfeng, is what you're saying true? My son wasn't injured in an accident, but was murdered?"
You Bingyue was not surprised by the result. Her face was full of pity and "I knew it": "I have always found it strange that the prince's food, clothing and daily necessities are all carefully selected. Such an important means of transportation as a sedan chair must also be inspected at any time."
She shook her head, her face full of absurdity: "Not to mention that all the wood used to make the sedan chair would rot away, even if there was just a single splinter on the wood, it would be picked out and thrown away."
“After the incident, I always felt that things were too strange.”
She didn't say the rest, because someone else said it for her.
Master Qingfeng possessed an extraordinary aura; the mere sight of him sitting there would inexplicably exert immense pressure on others.
He was like a celestial being banished from heaven, coldly looking down upon all living beings.
When people see him, they will unconsciously feel convinced.
He nodded slightly: "The Carefree Prince is destined for unparalleled fortune and prosperity. According to his normal destiny, he should live to the age of eighty without illness or disaster. But now, his destiny has been altered, and if nothing unexpected happens, he will be paralyzed in bed until he dies."
The Empress Dowager swayed, shocked, furious, and heartbroken: "Who could be so vicious as to harm my son like this?"
Instead of answering, Master Qingfeng asked, "Hasn't the Empress Dowager already reached a conclusion in her heart?"
The Empress Dowager's breath hitched: "Is it really her?"
You Bingyue said, "Your Majesty, although I am also unwilling to believe that she would do such a thing, it seems that no one else in the entire Great Sheng Empire has such ability to harm a prince of high status without anyone knowing."
"That sedan chair is the biggest evidence."
The Empress Dowager slammed her hand on the table: "Outrageous! I trusted her so much, yet she dared to harm Prince Xiaoyao like this! It's truly outrageous! I will punish her severely!"
You Bingyue raised her hand: "Empress Dowager, no!"
The Empress Dowager's face darkened: "Why are you obstructing me? Do you intend to plead for that traitorous minister?"
You Bingyue said, "Your Majesty, it is not that I want to plead for Lord Yu, but that we have no evidence in this matter."
"The mystical arts are only understood by those within the Xuanmen sect. However, these cannot be used as evidence to convict us mortals. Unless Master Qingfeng has a way to prove that Lord Yu destroyed the sedan chair using mystical arts, His Majesty may not believe us."
The Empress Dowager remained silent with a cold, stern face, but she understood that what You Bingyue said was true.
The emperor greatly admired the woman's metaphysical abilities, not only granting her the exceptional right to attend court without having to take the imperial examinations, but also appointing her as an inspector.
What an honor!
Those students from impoverished backgrounds who study diligently for over a decade may never achieve the same level of success as Yu Zhiyi, who started from such a high point.
This is enough to demonstrate the emperor's trust in him.
The Empress Dowager's eyes flickered slightly, her gaze settling on Master Qingfeng: "May I ask, Master, would you like to become the Imperial Preceptor?"
***
When Yu Zhiyi emerged from the Hundred Flowers Killing Ground, it was already broad daylight.
At this time, the emperor and his court officials have probably been in court for some time.
After the court session, the officials still had to perform their respective duties and handle their assigned official business.
Yu Zhiyi remained calm and composed, standing outside the formation and summarizing what she had learned from this trip.
After breaking through to the late stage of Foundation Establishment, her spiritual power became more refined and concentrated, but she rarely had the opportunity to engage in actual combat, so she lacked both movement skills and experience.
This time, she used the yin energy within the formation to train her movement techniques, and the results were remarkable.
She had a feeling that even if she didn't succeed in breaking through, and encountered Gao Yaowen who was secretly attacking her again, she would be able to deal with him calmly with her current agility.
If she had reached her current strength earlier, she wouldn't have needed to use her strongest Heavenly Thunder Talisman to protect herself, Gao Yaowen wouldn't have died, and she wouldn't have formed a personal feud with the hidden realm expert.
Unfortunately, it was too late to say anything.
Besides, even if she didn't kill Gao Yaowen, the trouble might not necessarily end.
Does anyone know what kind of person Gao Yaowen is?
If that person likes to blame others for all their misfortunes, then the feud will still be formed.
Shaking off the jumbled thoughts, Yu Zhiyi wanted to retrieve the battle flags.
Suddenly, Li Yu floated out: "My lord, may I go in and cultivate?"
Yu Zhiyi paused.
Li Yu has already evolved to the Red Robe level, and he rarely encounters any rivals in the mortal realm.
If she were to evolve further, even Yu Zhiyi before her breakthrough might not be able to control her.
However, Yu Zhiyi doesn't have this concern now.
The enemy is too powerful, so she must strengthen herself.
Whether it's her or the people around her.
After handing the array flag to Li Yu, Yu Zhiyi gave him a few more instructions, telling him to come out immediately if he sensed anything was wrong. She also set up a two-way defensive array at the doorway.
It can prevent outsiders from entering the room and accidentally entering the formation.
It can also prevent Li Yu from being stimulated by the Yin energy and losing control, running out of the formation and going on a killing spree.
As she reached the door, she saw Xiao Qingxuan approaching and went to greet her.
Xiao Qingxuan looked at her with some anxiety: "Weren't you supposed to go to the palace to report to the Emperor this morning?"
I heard that the emperor loved beheading people the most, and would often order his men to be dragged out and beheaded.
Xiao Qingxuan originally thought that although her daughter had offended the Empress Dowager, if the Emperor was her backer, even if the Empress Dowager had objections, she would have to keep quiet.
Who would have thought that their own daughter would be so bold as to skip court!
The emperor didn't see her, so he won't punish her for deceiving the emperor, will he?
Yu Zhiyi said, "It's alright. As long as I successfully report to the Ministry of Justice later, I won't be considered late according to the procedure."
She wanted to go to the palace yesterday, just to make things look better for everyone.
But if someone doesn't want to make her look bad, then she has no choice but to cross the line and make the emperor unhappy.
The current emperor is a reasonable person. He may be unhappy, but he will not act impulsively.
If something is clearly wrong, he will investigate the truth after his anger subsides.
Therefore, the Empress Dowager's actions yesterday were completely meaningless.
oh.
It's not without meaning.
At least it confirmed for Yu Zhiyi that she had found a mystical master who was suspected to be even more powerful than herself.
I just don't know how skilled this person really is.
What kind of person is he?
The family of three, along with Han Lianqiao, had breakfast together in the dining room. While there was still time, Yu Zhiyi drew ten more Heavenly Thunder Talismans.
She gave three tickets to each of the three people, and kept one for herself.
After reporting to the Ministry of Justice, Yu Zhiyi handled three cases that day.
They took Han Lianqiao to Yiluan Charity.
Xiao Qingxuan and Jiang Liuyun were both very interested in Yiluan Charity, so Yu Zhiyi stayed with them for a while.
I also sent Hongluan a gift for her trip.
In the afternoon, Yu Zhiyi returned to her residence and immediately began a new round of cultivation.
