Fu Lai noticed something was wrong and quickly stepped in front of the Chu Emperor, scolding him.
"How dare you! No one may approach His Majesty without being summoned."
However, Lin Xian'er remained completely unmoved by his reprimands.
He continued to climb the steps slowly and steadily.
Palace servants were already protecting Emperor Chu, but Lin Xian'er thought they were nothing but a joke.
She doesn't need any special techniques; a single thought is enough to kill these people.
The crown prince looked at her like this, but made no attempt to stop her.
In fact, I even felt a little bit of anticipation.
If he succeeds, he will definitely be the one to sit in that position.
If he loses, he can blame it all on Lin Xian'er.
Just as he was plotting his attack, Tantai Yueming, who was sitting to the right of Emperor Chu, suddenly spoke up.
"Your Highness, your wife has offended His Majesty. Don't you have anything to say?"
Nobody's a fool; everyone knows what the Crown Prince is planning by remaining silent and still.
How could we possibly let him get away with it so easily?
The Crown Prince harbored deep hatred for Tantai Yueming, secretly blaming him for meddling, while also thinking of a way to deal with him.
Suddenly, his shoulders slumped, and he fell towards the servants behind him.
He looked like he hadn't fully recovered from his old injuries, a far cry from the fierce and imposing manner he had when he scolded An Susu just moments before.
Tantai Yueming's understanding of shamelessness was also refreshed.
But after learning of his attitude, Tantai Yueming didn't put much effort into him anymore.
However, he was just a clown, and he didn't take him seriously.
While they were talking, Lin Xian'er had already climbed onto the high platform.
The eunuch tried to step forward to stop him, but Emperor Chu waved him off.
"Go down."
Fu Lai was somewhat unwilling, but he still made the eunuchs step aside.
The Chu Emperor has now begun his cultivation, and he knows in his heart that having these people stop Lin Xian'er will only result in a few more people dying in vain.
"Crown Princess, what do you intend to do?"
When there was no one else around, the Chu Emperor released the Imperial Concubine's hand, gently lifted her lower back, and escorted her to Fu Lai's side, indicating that he should take good care of her. Only then did he look at Lin Xian'er and speak.
Between sitting and standing, Lin Xian'er appeared to be superior, but in terms of imposing presence, Emperor Chu, the emperor of the mortal realm, was not lacking in any way.
Even knowing that with their current cultivation levels, Lin Xian'er could easily kill him with a wave of her hand, he remained unmoved.
The Chu Emperor also discovered something very strange: as a fellow cultivator, he could see something different about Lin Xian'er.
However, Lin Xian'er didn't seem to realize that she had already begun cultivating.
Of course, it's also possible that my cultivation level is too low, and others simply don't take me seriously.
Because when Emperor Chu began his cultivation, without Lin Jiujiu's spirit-gathering array to support him, his cultivation was merely a step-by-step process, starting from the lowest level of Qi Refining, proceeding steadily and surely.
Unlike the Lin family and others, who were personally guided by Lin Jiujiu from the very beginning and were able to break through the Qi Refining stage or even directly establish their foundation as soon as they started cultivating.
Even with the many Qi Refining stage pills given by Tantai Yueming, Emperor Chu is only at the third level of the early Qi Refining stage.
To break through the third level and enter the mid-stage of Qi Refining in this place where spiritual energy is scarce, it is not something that can be done in a short time.
Even so, with Emperor Chu's current power, he is already different from other mortals.
Lin Xian'er also saw Chu Di's actions, but she did not intend to stop him.
I just think the Chu Emperor is really ridiculous; he's almost dead.
He even treats a woman who looks old enough to be his mother like a treasure.
It must be said that the Chu Emperor was much more handsome than the Crown Prince when he was young.
If he hadn't looked like this when they first met, there would have been no chance for the Crown Prince.
Wouldn't it be better to just become his empress and share the throne with him?
Why take so many detours?
Lin Xian'er suddenly felt that perhaps she didn't have to kill the Chu Emperor.
His face is just so my type.
She has the looks of a young person, yet a calm and composed demeanor; she's damn charming.
Lin Xian'er's gaze suddenly became infatuated as she stared at Emperor Chu, giving him goosebumps.
Is the prince's eye covered in excrement?
What is this thing he's taken a fancy to? It actually has feelings for him.
The Chu Emperor felt utterly disgusted.
His tone also carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
"Princess Consort, put away your disgusting gaze. I am the Emperor, the father of your Crown Prince."
Lin Xian'er was facing away from the assembled officials, so they couldn't see what she looked like. But as soon as the Emperor of Chu said this, some clever people immediately understood.
However, some people were not surprised by this.
Although the crown prince was the son of the Chu emperor, he looked more like the empress, with more femininity than masculinity.
When he was young, Emperor Chu was famously handsome in the capital. He was listed as the most handsome man in the capital for several years by gossipy people.
It wasn't until he ascended the throne that no one dared to use him as a ranking figure anymore.
However, some old-fashioned people still cannot accept such a thing.
In particular, the people in the Censorate are the most disciplined, and each of them is a tough guy who is not afraid of death.
Even when the emperor did something that violated ancestral rules, they dared to remonstrate with him to the death in court, and this is even more true now.
Immediately, two people jumped out and started cursing at Lin Xian'er.
"Shameless! How dare you, a daughter-in-law, have designs on your father-in-law? How could the Lin family raise a woman like you?"
The Lin family is not a place for such banquets, but who can blame them when a Crown Princess comes from their family?
The Crown Princess's maternal family was naturally among those invited.
The Lin family members, having been publicly scolded by the censor, were already too ashamed to lift their heads.
They didn't want to embarrass themselves like that, and even Mrs. Lin began to regret attending the banquet.
Especially when she saw Lin Jiujiu sitting next to Baili Chenyuan with that arrogant and superior attitude.
She felt immense regret. If only she hadn't been so forceful in sending Xian'er away after bringing her back, but had instead kept her in the manor.
So now she should be the most smug person among everyone present.
After all, that was someone even the emperor dared not offend.
I heard that man is an immortal. It would be even better if he could lead his family to cultivate immortality.
But because of a wrong decision she made back then, she had to endure the scornful looks of others.
Madam Lin also harbored some resentment towards Lin Xian'er.
After all, she and the Lin family had become estranged ever since she became the Crown Prince.
Although they may seek benefits for the family, it is always the men in the family who benefit.
As the birth mother of the Crown Princess, she repeatedly asked her to help her obtain an imperial edict, but she refused each time.
She even said that her husband should earn it for her, but her husband had already applied for an imperial decree to bestow an honor upon his mother-in-law. Unless she makes another great contribution, she will only have one chance in her lifetime to apply for an honor for the female members of her family.
Mrs. Lin has always felt somewhat resentful about this matter.
Now, because Lin Xian'er was being bullied, he felt even more resentful and naturally blurted out things he shouldn't have said.
