Chapter 141: The Queen of the Ice and Snow Empire
In the bedroom of the Emperor of the Ice and Snow Empire, the Emperor, who was already over seventy years old, with a head full of white hair, lay on the bed.
The queen, who looked to be in her early twenties, sat nearby, looking at the terminally ill emperor in front of her without a trace of pity in her eyes.
At this time, a woman dressed in white and holding a long sword came in, saluted and called out, "Empress, General Ji wants to see you."
"Keep an eye on the emperor. No one is allowed to approach without my permission." The queen said coldly and left.
"Yes." The woman responded and stood beside the bed.
These are the Snow Guards of the Ice and Snow Empire. The Queen formed a team by following the example of the Queen Mother of the Qianyuan Empire.
However, the Snow-Clothed Guards are much more powerful than the Purple-Clothed Guards back then. They are all composed of female younger disciples of Jiuxuan Mountain, and each of them is a cultivator in the acquired realm.
The queen of the Ice and Snow Empire is named Zhou Jingrong, Zhou An’s fourth sister. She was sent to the Ice and Snow Empire by the late emperor for marriage. Zhou An was still young at that time, and neither side had any memory of her.
The queen walked out to the hall and saw General Ji waiting. She waved her hand to let all the maids leave before asking, "How is it?"
"Qian Yuan is very strong. If we want to defeat Qian Yuan, I'm afraid we need to ask the Nine Mysterious Lady to come out."
Ji Mufei's tone of affirmation made the queen frown, and she stood up and said, "It is not easy to ask Lady Jiuxuan to come out of the mountain. She has not come down the mountain for two hundred years. It is a great blessing to let you come down the mountain to help me."
“Without the personal assistance of Lady Jiuxuan, there is absolutely no chance of success in attacking Qianyuan. In this battle, the other side has many demon generals and devils, each of whom can fight against our Ice and Snow Empire alone.
Especially one of the evil demons who used bloody magic was so powerful that people were unable to contend with him. I'm afraid he was already on the same level as Lady Jiuxuan." Ji Mufei thought of the scene she saw at the beginning, and there was still some fear on her face.
Seeing her expression, the queen knew that she had indeed met a powerful enemy this time, so she immediately said, "Go to Jiuxuan Mountain first to inform them. I will go to see the queen after I take a bath."
"Okay." Ji Mufei turned and walked out of the hall, then a white cloud appeared under her feet and flew into the air.
Zhou Jingrong immediately called out, "Xueyi, keep an eye on the emperor until I come back. No one is allowed to get close to him, except for Imperial Doctor Chen and Imperial Doctor Zheng. No one is allowed to get close to the emperor, including the princes and princesses."
"Yes." A snow-clad guard with a white veil answered from behind, with a word on his shoulder.
The queen went to the back hall and asked people to prepare for bathing and changing clothes.
········ Jiuxuan Mountain is the highest iceberg in Bingzhou. It is covered with ice and snow all year round. The top of the mountain is too high and there is no road. If you don’t know how to fly, you can’t get up there even with the best martial arts skills.
On top of the Jiuxuan Mountain, there is a black ice pool. It is said that any creature that falls into it will be frozen forever and sink to the bottom of the water.
A blue lotus grew in the middle of the black pool, and on the snow-white lotus sat a woman dressed in black who looked no more than sixteen years old.
This person was only wearing a piece of clothing and was barefoot. If she walked, her snow-white thighs and perfect feet would definitely be exposed. She did not wear any ornaments, and even her hair was hanging casually.
Although she did not dress up, it was this natural demeanor that gave people a feeling of being natural, sacred and inviolable.
Her snow-white skin is so smooth and delicate, and it is even more prominent when paired with the black silk dress, making it the most perfect masterpiece in the world.
Zhou Jingrong, wearing a snow-white dress, was led by the disciples of Jiuxuan Mountain to the black pool, where she knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "Jingrong pays respect to the Nine Mysterious Lady."
Empress Jiuxuan opened her eyes and said calmly, "The Qianyuan Empire is now powerful, and Bingzhou alone is not enough to compete with it. Wait for the opportunity, and you will get what you want."
"Could it be that even the Queen can't defeat the Demon Emperor?" Zhou Jingrong was surprised, but she didn't dare to look up and look directly at him.
“I’m not sure. He has two powerful servant gods by his side. They are figures from the War of All Races. One of them is from the Ghost Clan and has obtained the real Red Blood Sutra. Even I can hardly say that I can defeat him.
Only a person who has reached the Great Perfection of the Innate Realm can defeat the other ape demon. Go back. When the time comes, I will come down the mountain to help you. "After saying this, Lady Jiuxuan closed her eyes and stopped talking.
Zhou Jingrong wanted to ask more, but seeing that Lady Jiuxuan closed her eyes, she had no choice but to bow and leave.
After leaving the Nine Mysterious Black Pool, General Ji was waiting outside. When he saw Zhou Jingrong coming out, he immediately asked, "What did the queen say?"
"I didn't expect the Demon Emperor to be so powerful. Even the Queen said she was not sure and asked me to wait for the opportunity." Zhou Jingrong was unwilling but helpless.
"Is this Demon Emperor so powerful? Junior sister, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to rescue your brothers. Zhou Di and Zhou Yang became the left and right prime ministers, and Zhou Yuan became the national marshal. The Demon Emperor allowed them to hold such important positions. I'm afraid they have also been controlled by the evil spirits, or even possessed." Ji Mufei said with a frown.
“At first, I thought that my father was cruel and forced Shangguan Chi and I to separate. I have been holding a grudge against him ever since, and I have always thought that I must make my father pay the price in my lifetime.
Later, when she won the position of Queen, she found out that her father had been bedridden for a long time and the court was controlled by the former Queen. Her eldest brother was dead and her second brother hid in the Ice Customs and was protected by Marshal Yang, so he escaped the clutches of the Queen Mother.
The third brother and the sixth brother are missing, the fifth sister married far away in the Western Regions and has not been heard from since. The seventh brother and the eighth sister are also said to be missing, it must be the old witch who did it.
Only then did I understand that my father had already noticed the Queen's ambition, but the royal family was weak and unable to compete with the Shangguan family, so he took advantage of the invasion of the Ice and Snow Empire to marry me off.
Unfortunately, I was young and hot-tempered at the time, and I could not see my father's painstaking efforts. I had been tempting the emperor to invade Qianyuan in an attempt to take revenge. Now the imperial power of the Ice and Snow Empire is in my hands. If I don't save my brother, how can I face the ancestors of the Zhou family? "Zhou Jingrong gritted her teeth and said.
Ji Mufei knew about this and sighed, "Your ninth brother must have been possessed by a demon, otherwise it would be impossible for an ordinary person like him to reach his current level of cultivation in less than two years.
After the Ten Thousand Monster King joined, and later the Six Qianyuan Monsters joined, I suspected that the one who possessed your ninth brother was most likely the Seven Illusion Monster Lord of that year. Only he could command the Six Qianyuan Monsters and make the other Qianyuan monsters submit. "
"It can only be him. Only the Seven Illusion Demon Lord can make Queen Nine Profound afraid of him." Zhou Jingrong clenched her fists tightly, her eyes full of helplessness and unwillingness.
"Junior sister, there is no need to worry too much. Since the Seven Illusionary Demons mainly control the Qianyuan Dynasty, letting your brothers take up such an important position will definitely not endanger their lives. We still have enough time." Ji Mufei said.
"Well, let's go back first. The emperor has less than a year left to live, and the princes are already restless. Let's stabilize the empire first." Zhou Jingrong took a deep breath and quickly turned back into the solemn appearance of a queen.
A few days later, in the palace of Qianyuan Empire, Zhou An was comprehending the Three Yuan True Water Fairy Method with Shu Yao and others in Kongling Fairy Mansion. Zi Xuan said outside: "Your Majesty, the Canglong Empire has sent an envoy, and Cang Ming and Zuo Xiang are also waiting in the main palace."
Zhou An finished his practice, and the real water floating around him turned into spiritual energy and dissipated. He stood up and pushed the door open to ask, "Cang Long is here to seek peace, right? Who is here?"
"This is great news. The seventh princess of the Canglong Empire, Xiao Ruying, has come to propose marriage. She is a disciple of Yulan Fairy Island and the junior sister of Master Cangming. She is so beautiful that we sisters are ashamed of ourselves. In the entire palace, only the Empress and the Hundred Flowers Lady can compare to her."
Zixuan showed a naughty smile. Since marrying Zhou An, Zixuan has become more playful and would joke with Zhou An when there are no outsiders around.
"Let's go and take a look first."
Zhou An frowned, but did not look happy at all. It was expected that the Canglong Empire would ask for peace, but he did not like the marriage. It was not that he had changed and did not like beautiful women, but the people in the harem were all worthy of his trust. How could he trust a woman who came through marriage?
