"Sister A Yuan, do you still remember Queen Wu Yuan?"
Li Baozhu replied quickly, in which she mentioned an old acquaintance.
Queen of Wuyuan, the chieftain of the Wuyuan tribe.
She was also the woman who personally cultivated the devil's flower on that land in Lingnan.
For the sake of the so-called "fairy flower" and "fairy ointment," she even caused the death of Li Baozhu's father.
It was because the Li tribe was framed by Queen Wuyuan that Li Baozhu escaped from the mountains and came to Yuezhou, where she found Helian Jue, who was then the King of Yue.
As for the "immortal ointment" and the like, Xie Yuan, a transmigrator from the future, was extremely wary of it.
Her attitude was exceptionally firm: eradicate them! These demonic flowers must be completely eradicated.
Even if the Divine Elixir itself could actually be used as a medicinal ingredient, Xie Yuan would never allow it to appear on the land of the Celestial Empire.
This harmful thing must be completely destroyed.
Because of the Divine Ointment, Xie Yuan had a rather deep impression of the Queen of Wuyuan.
However, after three or four years, Xie Yuan still felt a sense of disorientation when he saw the name again.
How did she get involved with this?
Could it be that the Yellow Sect is involved in the matter of the "Fairy Ointment"?
Sure enough, in the subsequent messages sent by Li Baozhu via carrier pigeon, there gradually became more and more information about the Yellow Sect.
Based on the clues gathered by Li Baozhu, Xie Yuan indeed discovered the Yellow Sect and the Queen of Wuyuan.
Oh no, to be precise, it's related to the "Fairy Cream".
"The original seeds of the fairy flower were actually brought by the Yellow Sect."
"The preparation of the Immortal Ointment and other ingredients were also handed over to the Wuyuan tribe by the Huang Sect."
Xie Yuan held the slips of paper, sorted through them, and came to a conclusion.
She suddenly had a bad feeling, and her heart started to race.
The Wuyuan tribe was wiped out, and all the fairy flowers on the Lingnan land were eradicated.
But what about other places?
Xie Yuanke hadn't forgotten that the Yellow Sect originated in the southwest and northern Xinjiang regions.
Apart from Yuezhou and Yongzhou, which Xie Yuan knew of, there were no other places where the fairy flower was planted.
Is the "Fairy Cream" secretly popular in other parts of China?
What good is the death of the Queen of Wuyuan?
After all, the seeds of trouble remain. As long as the Yellow Sect is not overthrown, there will be a second and a third Wuyuan tribe.
The harm caused by the "miracle cream" is far more serious than the civil unrest and rebellion caused by crooked and evil means!
Xie Yuan felt her heart pounding, and she quickly wrote a letter to Helian Jue.
Helian Jue: ...
Oh wow, Ah Yuan also found out about the Yellow Sect?
They also discovered that the Huang sect had been secretly causing all sorts of trouble.
Helian Jue had personally witnessed the terrifying nature of the "Fairy Ointment."
Therefore, he could understand A Yuan's fear.
If a person's mind and body are controlled by drugs, then that person becomes useless.
If his Great Zhou Dynasty is filled with such incompetent people, what is the difference between it and "the fall of a country"?
Helian Jue had tried Wushi Powder himself and knew how terrible that addictive, hallucinogenic drug was.
The effects of the Divine Ointment are a hundred times more potent than those of the Five-Stone Powder!
Back then, Helian Jue easily made everyone regard him as a good-for-nothing by relying on his acting skills with the Five Stone Powder.
Where is the "Miracle Cream"?
It will only create more and more useless things.
"Duofu! Send people to investigate! Not only must we find the Yellow Sect, but we must also destroy all the Immortal Flowers!"
Helian Jue immediately summoned his Jinyiwei commander, Duofu, and ordered him to investigate thoroughly.
"Yes! This servant will obey!"
Duofu realized that his emperor was truly angry, so he dared not delay and hurriedly went to make arrangements.
"This Yellow Sect is indeed a wolf in sheep's clothing!"
"According to Dugu Zhi, the Yellow Sect originally intended to use the earthquake in the southwest as an opportunity to cause trouble, but thanks to the 'prophet' and A Yuan's timely intervention, a major storm was averted!"
"...Therefore, if something happens to me, the Yellow Sect will definitely take action!"
Helian Jue has been hesitating for the past few days, unable to make up his mind.
But Xie Yuan's letter, and the Huang Sect's secret surveillance, finally gave Helian Jue a legitimate reason—
I'm not being willful; I'm just trying to lure the snake out of its hole!
...
Xie Yuan was unaware of Helian Jue's ulterior motives; she was extremely busy throughout August.
The earthquake in the southwest and the various affairs in the capital all required her, the Empress Regent, to handle them.
Following closely was this year's autumn imperial examination, with scholars from all over the country gathering in the capital. However, the powerful officials, led by the three prime ministers Wang, Zheng, and Cui, all slacked off.
Their attitude toward the imperial examination system was very clear: we are indeed powerless to stop it, but we will not cooperate with it, much less support it.
Of course, being passive and unmotivated does not mean completely giving up.
There was no way around it; Empress Xie's lady-in-waiting was like a needle hidden in cotton.
It's not usually noticeable, but if you touch it, it can be quite painful.
"If you can't do this job, then let the female official take your place!"
Tsk, that sentence would absolutely drive the entire court of officials crazy.
A true scholar and warrior.
Empress Xie's female attendants included not only a math prodigy like Nanling, who was skilled in accounting, but also a talented woman like Helian Yan, who could handle official documents, and a female warrior like Mu Jialuo, who was proficient in horseback riding and warfare!
Wow, he's truly a man of both literary and martial talents, a man of many abilities.
The key point is that these female officials were all of noble birth and wanted to use their family's power to bully the weak, while they themselves were always the "weak" ones.
Therefore, although the court officials wanted to slack off, they dared not really abandon their duties, for fear of being branded as "inferior to women."
