Another half month passed in a daze. Liu Lieyu had been missing for a month, and people in Guixu were gradually becoming restless. Various forces outside the city were also eager to make their move after hearing the news.
Fei Yan has been even busier lately. Yesterday, when Zi Teng went to deliver something to Fei Yan, she didn't even get to see her. The guards said that the Heavenly Court has been provoking Gui Xu several times recently, and Fei Yan is busy dealing with it.
I secretly wondered if something had really happened to Liu Lieyu. If the Heavenly Court and Guixu were to fight, I would take advantage of the chaos to escape and find Luo. Luo is now the ruler of the Heavenly Court, and staying by Luo's side would be better than staying in Guixu.
"The Empress".
I was sitting on the sofa cracking sunflower seeds when Zifang rushed up to me and called out as soon as she entered the room.
"What's wrong?" I turned my head and saw that Zifang had secretly hidden the remote control in her left hand, otherwise Zifang would turn on Guyue's TV again.
"The Eastern Emperor is back," Zi Teng said breathlessly.
"Really?" I was startled, and the sunflower seeds in my hand fell sparsely to the ground.
Wisteria nodded emphatically, "Would I lie to you?"
"Where is he now? Where did you see him?" I craned my neck to look at the doorway, but no one came for a long time.
"Oh dear." Wisteria straightened my head. "Donghuang isn't here."
"Where is Liu Lieyu now? In the Hall of State Affairs?" Liu Lieyu must have gone to the Hall of State Affairs first since he hasn't returned for so long. The mountain of government affairs in Guixu is waiting for his decision.
“No.” Wisteria waved her hand, shook her head, and sat closer to me. “Donghuang is still on the battlefield. He’s probably almost at Mount Ling now.”
"Lingshan?"
"The Heavenly Court contacted the bald monks in the West and provoked us repeatedly while our Eastern Emperor was away, wanting to start a war. My aunt sent troops to fight back, and we were being defeated one after another. But today, the Eastern Emperor suddenly appeared on the battlefield and gave them a crushing blow! According to my aunt's people, the Eastern Emperor is really angry this time and led his troops to the bald monks' stronghold, Mount Ling."
I see. I sighed. It seems Liu Lieyu will be back soon.
Wisteria glanced at me cautiously, "Your Majesty, sigh."
I glanced at the wisteria, and I knew what it wanted to say.
I got up and walked towards the bedroom. "Wisteria, come with me."
Although the wisteria didn't understand what was going on, it still followed behind me.
"Wisteria, take all of these to your aunt later."
"So many!" Zifang looked in surprise at the huge pile of bottles and jars I had rummaged through the back of the wardrobe, all filled with my essence blood.
I nodded. "These are things I do when I have nothing else to do."
"Your Majesty, you've already asked me to deliver quite a lot to my aunt lately. How can your body handle this on top of all this?"
"I stay at home every day and have been taking so many supplements. I'll be fine."
Zifang opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she just looked at me with pity and put away all the bottles and jars I had taken out. "Okay, I'll give them to my aunt later."
Before leaving, Zi Teng said, "Your Majesty, after I'm gone, you and my aunt must be very careful."
I sat blankly on the bed. Liu Lieyu returned to say that he had found the sorcery master he was looking for.
My black hair is tangled, and I glance down at my fingertips, wondering how long I can hold on.
I roughly calculated that the essence blood I've given Fei Yan these past few days should be enough for eighty-one days. Thirty-five days have already passed, leaving one month to go.
Fei Yan can become me soon.
