Li Yao opened the teleportation portal and found an abandoned palace on the other side, which she guessed might be the Cold Palace.
So Li Yao teleported towards the magnificent palace, and finally saw the Hall of Diligent Governance in the distance.
The number of guards is more than double that of other palaces.
She scanned the area with her spiritual power and discovered that there was indeed a person sitting inside the hall wearing a bright yellow robe.
At the same time, Li Yao discovered that there were people hiding on the roof, in the trees, and in the nooks and crannies of the palace, who should be the secret guards of the ancient emperor.
The one on the roof was the most powerful. When Li Yao scanned him with her mental power, he seemed to sense something. He straightened up and searched for something inch by inch with his eyes.
Li Yao used [Spatial Control] to immobilize everyone, preventing them from moving or making a sound. She then teleported to the emperor and used her mental power to instill a dream in him.
Li Yao altered the story of this body's experiences from childhood to adulthood, including the situation after being locked in the cellar, to make it so that she was beaten to death for refusing to compromise.
Although the person before him was this body's biological father, he was still an emperor in a feudal society.
Li Yao couldn't guarantee that if he knew about the abuse this body had suffered since it was 12 years old, he would still love and care for the girl with a normal heart.
Li Yao used her spiritual power to make the emperor dream of this dream for three consecutive nights. On the first day, he was an observer, and on the second and third days, he experienced it firsthand.
She believed that after all that had happened, the emperor would never let the Zhao family and that fake princess go.
At the same time, Li Yao fabricated a white-bearded old man for the emperor, resembling the Taoist priest from Lao Jun Mountain in the apocalypse.
The old Taoist priest told the emperor that the real princess was a fairy who had descended to the mortal world to experience human life. He said that as long as the emperor's family found her and allowed her to be a carefree princess, he, as the fairy's master, would give him and the empress each a portion of spiritual spring water that could strengthen their bodies and cure all diseases.
Once these spiritual energies were assembled, Li Yao stuffed them all into the emperor's hands, fed him a few drops of diluted spiritual spring water, and then teleported to the empress's palace.
The guards on the roof were already on alert when they felt they were being watched. When they couldn't find anyone, they suddenly became unable to move or speak, and were terrified, fearing that the emperor might suddenly die and they would be buried with him.
Once he could move, he quickly looked at the emperor, flew over to check the emperor's breath, and thankfully, the emperor was still breathing steadily.
The guards at the gate and the chief eunuch in the main hall had also suddenly become immobilized, and immediately rushed to the emperor's side after being released from their restraints.
The group exchanged glances, understanding each other perfectly; it seemed none of them had been able to move.
The group quickly got to work: some called for the imperial physician, others took precautions, and still others searched for people.
Li Yao teleported to Kunning Palace, where she found a woman in her forties wearing a phoenix hairpin and a phoenix robe, and a beautiful woman in her twenties, also wearing a phoenix hairpin and a phoenix robe.
Li Yao controlled everyone in the palace, hypnotized the two women, and extracted their identities: they were the Empress Dowager and the Empress.
Li Yao gave the Empress a copy of the dream she had just given the Emperor, and the Empress Dowager received the same one, omitting the old Taoist priest's reward.
Li Yao then hypnotized the person at the entrance of the Empress's palace, who led her to the East Palace, the residence of the Crown Prince, who was also the body's biological brother.
When Li Yao arrived, the Crown Prince heard that the Emperor had fainted and was about to go to the Hall of Diligent Governance. Li Yao ordered the palace maid who was leading the way to return the way she came, and then teleported to a spot not far from the Crown Prince, taking control of everyone in the hall and giving the Crown Prince a version of the Empress Dowager's version as well.
After marking these locations, Li Yao returned to the [Spiritual Spring Space]. She had done enough for today; she needed to see the Emperor's family's reaction.
