"Miss! Miss Dugu!"
Helian Chen, dressed in full armor, entered excitedly from outside.
He arrived at the tent that Helian Jue had "given" to Dugu Zhi, his face full of admiration: "You are truly amazing!"
Helian Chen gave a thumbs up.
In his mind, he desperately tried to imagine the Dugu Zhi in front of him as the Empress.
Hmm, that's much better.
Just thinking about the Empress's wise appearance made him realize that the fool in front of him wasn't so stupid.
Only in this way can he express his respect from the bottom of his heart!
"General Helian, have you found the Left Wise King?"
Dugu Zhi had an air of shrewdness about her, and her rather delicate features were full of pride.
She gave three locations in total: the residence of the Turkic royal court, the residence of the Right Wise King, and the residence of the Left Wise King.
Of the three positions, the Left Wise King is closest to the North City.
Of course, this proximity is only relative.
If conventional investigative methods are used, relying solely on human search, it is still not easy to find.
But Helian Jue had Kongming lanterns and clairvoyance.
If the two are combined, and there is a more specific direction, then the Left Wise King can be identified.
The Left Wise King commanded 20,000 cavalry, one of the main forces of the Turks.
If we can completely annihilate the Left Wise King, we can cut off one of the Turks' arms.
Most importantly, Helian Chen successfully found the Left Wise King by following her guidance, which proved that her "prophecy" was true.
She is the chosen one favored by the goddess!
With her help, Helian Jue will defeat the Turks three months earlier than in his previous life.
In addition, she will assist Helian Jue in doing many more things.
She will definitely be able to replace Empress Xie and surpass her.
"That's right! We found it!"
"I need to mobilize troops as quickly as possible, so I can't talk to you any longer! Please don't be offended!"
With the Empress in his heart, Helian Chen's expression became even more sincere.
He seemed to be a huge fan of Dugu Zhi, completely admiring this goddess.
Seeing Helian Chen's appearance, Dugu Zhi became even more reserved.
"Yes! The battle is of utmost importance! General, you may proceed!"
Defeating the Turks is nothing; she can help Helian Jue even more.
Oh, right, there's something else, is it about to happen?
I... I can first remind Helian Jue to further solidify my identity as the prophetic goddess.
Having made up her mind, Dugu Zhi decided to seek an audience with Helian Jue.
In her mind, she now had the right to speak fairly with Helian Jue.
Fortunately, Helian Chen and his confidants did not know Dugu Zhi's thoughts, otherwise they would have collectively condemned her: Dugu Zhi, where do you get the nerve?
He just provided some information in a pretentious manner, and now he thinks he's as noble as Helian Jue?
The one who can truly stand shoulder to shoulder with the sage is the Empress.
Empress Xie and the Emperor were the Emperor's first wife. They shared hardships and worked together to build a vast empire in Lingnan.
Now, one of them is out there fighting for their dreams, while the other stays home guarding the household. The couple works hand in hand, striving together.
If there is truly one person in this world who can stand with the emperor and share this magnificent empire with him, that person must be Empress Xie.
This is the collective and unified understanding among the emperor and empress's confidants.
Even so, Xie Yuan was never as "arrogant" as Dugu Zhi when facing Helian Jue.
Xie Yuan always remembered that she had several identities: wife, empress, business partner, and lover.
Therefore, she would not be arrogant in front of Helian Jue, nor would she fail to recognize her own status.
She always managed to interact with Helian Jue at the most appropriate time and in the most suitable capacity.
It is said that there are couples who have gone through hardships together, but many couples turn against each other after they become rich.
This also relates to whether or not one knows how to manage a marital relationship.
Some people always feel that they have done a great job and cannot distinguish reality, which leads to rifts with their partners.
Xie Yuan, however, was never so confused; she always maintained her initial clarity of mind.
It was precisely because she knew how to manage things that her relationship with Helian Jue gradually deepened, instead of them going their separate ways.
"By the way, Miss Dugu, when the goddess entered your dream, did she offer any other guidance?"
Despite his aversion to stupidity, Helian Chen pretended to be a devoted fan, all in order to continue extracting Dugu Zhi's secrets.
He's made a sacrifice so many times, he has to make sure he gets his money's worth.
"There is something, but I would like to report it to the Sage in person!"
Although both Helian Jue and Helian Chen, the emperor and his minister, believed that Dugu Zhi was a fool.
However, Dugu Zhi still possessed some cleverness.
She knew very well that if she wanted to show off and claim credit, she had to choose the right "target".
Only when Helian Jue witnessed her amazing abilities firsthand would he believe that she could rival him.
If there were only Helian Chen in between, no matter how outstanding she was, Helian Jue wouldn't have a direct sense of it.
Helian Chen: ...You're dreaming!
How could a saint, so noble, easily meet with a fool like you?
Furthermore, Helian Chen was also worried that the emperor might not be able to control his temper.
Helian Chen knew his saint too well. He hated stupid and ugly women, and he hated even more people drooling over his appearance.
Unfortunately, Dugu Zhi accurately guessed all of the sage's taboos.
If a sage couldn't restrain himself and took action directly, cough cough, even if he didn't risk his life, just ordering someone to gouge out someone's restless, disgusting eyes wouldn't be good either!
After all, Dugu Zhi still has value to be used for the time being.
Meanwhile, Dugu Xiong's Northwest Army has not yet been completely taken back.
A small act of impatience can ruin a great plan!
Helian Jue: ...It's alright!
"Ah Yuan was so farsighted, sending this to me ahead of time!"
After much hesitation, Helian Chen went to the royal tent to discuss with Helian Jue—to be patient and uncover all of Dugu Zhi's secrets first.
Once this ordeal is over, whether to kill or exile will be decided by the sage.
As a result, no sooner had he finished stating Dugu Zhi's demands than Helian Jue took out a gold-plated, openwork mask from a box beside him.
Helian Chen looked astonished. "Your Majesty, did the Empress give this to you?"
The Empress is so amazing! She actually thought of it long ago: someone would covet the Emperor's stunning good looks.
So, if we have to say there is a goddess, then that person must be the Empress.
Look, they didn't do anything mysterious or magical; it was just a casual arrangement, yet it was so prescient!
Xie Yuan: ...It really was just a misunderstanding! I just thought of Lanling Wang and wanted my husband to cosplay it too.
However, the golden mask did indeed help Helian Jue.
Dugu Zhi was indeed somewhat dejected when she saw Helian Jue wearing a mask.
Alas, we can no longer directly admire the saint's magnificent beauty.
"A major earthquake will occur in the southwest on the fourth day of the eighth lunar month!"
Slightly disappointed, Dugu Zhi did not miss this opportunity to "meet the emperor" and uttered a "divine prophecy" that made Helian Jue's pupils constrict!
Southwest?
An earth dragon turning over?
That would be a catastrophe that could shatter the heavens and the earth.
That very evening, Xie Yuan, far away in the capital, received a message from Helian Jue via carrier pigeon…
