The palace maid was also frightened and thought that the porridge was not to her liking, so His Majesty sent someone to investigate.

This porridge was not cooked by her at all. If she admits it rashly, His Majesty will punish her and she will be beheaded.

So she glanced at the inner room and saw Ran Ran behind the brocade curtain. She immediately kowtowed and said, "Your Majesty, this porridge was cooked by that little palace maid. I really don't know how to make this porridge!"

Su Yu listened with a smile, and then his eyes inadvertently glanced at the little girl who had lowered her head behind the brocade tent.

Zhou Feihua glared at the talkative cook, and then asked directly: "Your Majesty insisted on asking about this porridge, but is there anything wrong with it? If it is not done well, I will definitely punish the palace maid severely. Come, take her away and beat her with a stick!"

Ranran was not from the palace, and Zhou Feihua was worried that she would be discovered, so she wanted to take the initiative to capture her and take her away first under the pretext of beating her with a stick.

But at this moment, the gloomy-eyed Old Feng suddenly appeared at the door. When Su Yu waved his finger, Old Feng walked towards the inner room with murderous intent.

Zhou Feihua stood up in a hurry, stopped Lao Feng, and said coldly: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to let a man from outside the palace into my concubine's inner chamber?"

But Old Feng was not very polite and tried to push Zhou Feihua away with his hand. How could Zhou Feihua be a delicate person? When Old Feng attacked, she quickly counterattacked and slapped Old Feng hard, making him retreat again and again.

Su Yu looked at her with a smile on his face, and said gently, "My beloved, what are you doing? Is there something in your inner chamber that you are afraid I would know?"

Zhou Feihua was about to reply, but at this moment, Lao Feng stretched out his hand and flicked out a flying insect, which flew over with a flutter and bit Zhou Feihua's neck.

Just at this moment, Zhou Feihua's body went limp and she fell to the ground.

Ran Ran had sharp eyes, and his heart tightened when he saw the insect. That flying insect...why was it so similar to the fairy-eating insect on Tianmai Mountain?

At the moment Zhou Feihua fell, Ranran quickly glanced at the location of the window and door to estimate the possibility of his escape.

Old Feng smiled at her and said, "Girl, you should know the power of this bug. If you don't behave yourself, I have a lot of bugs here. If I don't know the right timing, I'll suck all your spiritual power away. Don't mind it!"

After estimating that the possibility of escape was almost zero, Ran Ran calmed down a bit, stood up and walked out, and answered honestly: "I did it. If Your Majesty thinks it is not to your liking, I will just make it again. Why bother with such a big fuss?"

At this time, Old Feng also saw Ran Ran and whispered to Su Yu, "Your Majesty, I have seen this girl. She has been to the Alien House with Su Yishui, who was disguised as Bao Ming. It seems that she is Su Yishui's apprentice."

Although the girl was wearing a veil at the time, Lao Feng's eyes were so sharp that he could see her face clearly through the gauze.

Su Yu stared at her closely, his smile seemed to fade a little, and after a long pause he said, "I haven't had such delicious chicken porridge for many years. I remember the last time I had it was more than 20 years ago... You are Xue Ranran, Su Yishui's apprentice, right?"

Xue Ranran never expected that the emperor would actually say her name exactly. She was stunned: "How did your majesty know my name?"

Su Yu looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and said calmly, "I also know that your mother picked you up at Juefeng Xiantai and kept you by her side until Su Yishui accepted you as his apprentice."

Ran Ran thought that Mu Qingge had sent people to investigate her and even mobilized the government, so it was not surprising that Su Yu knew all this.

But why are they both so curious about her life experience? Is she really the daughter of some powerful man?

She looked at Su Yu. He was in his thirties and could be her father. So she asked directly, "Your Majesty is so curious about my background? Could I be your illegitimate daughter who was left alone?"

After hearing this, Su Yu's reaction was the same as Su Yishui's, both felt a little unhappy.

He leaned back slightly, a wry smile appeared on his face and he said, "Am I old enough to be your father? You used to call me 'Xiao Yu'."

Ran Ran was stunned. She was not unfamiliar with the name "Xiao Yu". Mu Qingge seemed to call him that. But when had she ever called the emperor Xiao Yu?

Could it be that the emperor is so ill that he is talking nonsense?

Seeing Ran Ran's puzzled look, Su Yu waved his hand and asked the eunuch to bring her a comfortable chair so that she could sit down and talk.

Seeing Ran Ran politely declined the teacup handed over by the eunuch, he just smiled and said, "It seems that Su Yishui hasn't told you that you are actually another spiritual fruit on the reincarnation tree."

Ran Ran was stunned when she heard this. She had never thought that she, like her immortal master Mu Qingge, had fallen from the immortal tree.

The fruits of the reincarnation tree are all reincarnations of immortal cultivators. Mu Qingge is a peerless demon cultivator, so what about her? Who is she?

She thought of Mu Ranwu who had died together with Mu Qingge. Then she remembered what her mother had said, that when she was born, there was a "Ran" on the palm of her hand. She immediately connected the two things.

Could it be that she was the reincarnation of Mu Ranwu, who killed Master Mu? If so, could she have met the emperor before?

For some reason, Ranran doesn't want to know about her own life experience.

She was very content in her life. She had parents who loved her, a master who loved her as well, and her fellow apprentices were also very nice. If she hadn't come to the capital, Ranran would have had no regrets in her life.

She didn't want to have anything to do with Mu Qingge at all, otherwise, she would have to accept a vicious sister in this life to repay the debt of her previous life...

Seeing that Ranran didn't say anything, Su Yu was certain that Su Yishui seemed to have never told her about her life experience.

He couldn't help but smile knowingly: "Fate plays tricks on me. I never expected that the flower is not a flower and the mist is not a mist. Do you want to know who you are?"

Ran Ran shook her head and looked at Su Yu and said, "Since it is reincarnation, it means that I fell from the tree and started a new life. It doesn't matter who I was before. And now I have lived so long and I have always been Xue Ran Ran. This is good. Why do I need to know who I was in my previous life?"

Su Yu didn't expect that she would just stop him from saying the next words so bluntly.

But this is her, a woman who can always take and let go, a woman who is like the wind and cannot be grasped.

In comparison, the fake person from Xigong who used the name of Mu Qingge but did some despicable things seemed so ridiculous.

Thinking of the woman living in the West Palace who had been trying her best to pretend to be Mu Qingge, Su Yu sneered.

He really thought Mu Qingge had come back to see him. Unfortunately, the woman showed her true colors the first time they met.

Su Yu couldn't tell at the time whether he was relieved or filled with disappointment.

But just now when he ate the bowl of porridge and recalled the taste of the past, he felt that it was actually not bad that Mu Qingge was alive and had forgotten everything.

Although Ran Ran wanted to end this topic, unfortunately, at this moment in the palace, he was the one who dominated the topic.

Since she didn't want to face the truth for the time being, he didn't force her, but just said calmly: "The ones who broke into Wenhu Lake at night and confused the guards were you and Concubine Jing, right?"

Ranran knew that she and Zhou Feihua must have left some clues to lead the emperor here.

At this moment, he probably doesn't know that his master's body is in the suitcase in the house, but Zhou Feihua and her have been exposed. If His Majesty searches Concubine Jing's palace, his master's body will soon be exposed.

Su Yu will definitely not show mercy to Master...

It was already daybreak, so she could only delay time to see if she could hold out until noon. When her master controlled Xiaolong to ascend to heaven, there would be chaos in the palace, and they would have a chance to escape.

Thinking of this, she nodded and asked Su Yu directly: "May I ask your Majesty, why do you want to raise a dragon in the palace?"

Su Yu was not surprised that she discovered the secret of Wenhu. He asked someone to serve him another bowl of porridge. While drinking, he looked at her and talked about the past: "Thinking back then, after the battle of Fan Yao, I asked Mu Qingge if I could practice Taoism with her. But she looked at my face and said that you can't have both fish and bear's paw. One cannot have both overwhelming power and supreme spiritual power, otherwise he will be envied by heaven. Being able to control the world and benefit the people is actually a kind of cultivation, but this cultivation is very difficult. For a person, a few decades is enough. If one day, I can give up power, it will be in time to find her again."

Ran Ran nodded after hearing this: "Although Master Mu is a little out of tune now, what she said is true. Being an emperor is indeed very tiring..."

Su Yu smiled and pointed at his hair: "I am two years younger than your master, but now my hair is mostly gray and my body is getting weaker. The decades of power she talked about are only twenty years for me. I, a small Yu, can be your father now in your eyes. Such overwhelming power is not as tempting as immortality."

Ran Ran listened to his words and shook her head: "But your so-called method of immortality is too ridiculous, isn't it? Have you ever thought that if it fails, all the people in the capital will be buried in the dragon's belly!"

Su Yu smiled slightly: "I have never failed in what I want to do. If Su Yishui hadn't interfered, I would have mastered the Seven Evil Transformation Spell. As long as I merge with the dragon, I will no longer be troubled by the disease, and I can benefit the people for thousands of years..."

Ran Ran felt that there was something wrong with what he said: "Your Majesty, you have been a good emperor for the past twenty years that you have ruled Da Qi. But have you ever thought about how many aliens you killed when you were raising that dragon? The dragon was supposed to be a spiritual creature that roamed freely in the sea, but you raised it to be violent and trapped it in a small deep pool, where it feeds on humans. Are you really sure that after you merge with such a dragon, you will still be the benevolent king who cares about the world? Do the people of the world... need people like you for thousands of years?"

This question was very rude. Old Feng said in a stern voice: "How dare you speak to His Majesty like this!"

Su Yu laughed out loud: "You haven't changed at all. Even if you look a little different, you still won't say anything offensive. But it's not your fault. You have forgotten the past. Now you are just a girl who just turned 18. People who accomplish great things should not be fussy about small matters. In the Battle of Fan Yao, you helped me quell the rebellion of Prince Ping. How many people died? If you only care about the lives of a few people and don't think about the long term, then the person sitting on the dragon throne now is the devil of the underworld, and all living things in the world will be charcoal!"

Ran Ran didn't understand, and didn't have time to think about the deeper meaning of his words. She was only worried about her master in the box and Zhou Feihua who was lying on the ground. She needed to delay as much as possible, so she asked softly, "The immortal insects that Master Mu used in Tianmai Mountain were given to her by His Majesty, right?"

If she guessed correctly, the one who bred the demon insect was Old Feng with the Yin-Yang Eyes.

Su Yu didn't seem to want to hide it anymore, and nodded readily, "I gave it to her, but I didn't expect you to go to Tianmai Mountain at that time. If I knew you were there, I would never give it to her. Fortunately, you are fine, otherwise... I would never let her go."

Those in high positions, apart from not being too calculating about human lives, seem to have a unique skill of passing on the blame.

In just a few words, the blame for Ran Ran's near death on Tianmai Mountain fell entirely on Mu Qingge.

But from what he said, it seemed that he was pretty nice to Ranran in his previous life.

Thinking about how Master Mu seemed to have received the emperor's favor before, his master also reminded him to be careful with Su Yu.

Ran Ran decided to be more cautious of His Majesty. She asked in confusion: "If Your Majesty only wants to live forever, why would you help Mu Qingge do such a thing? Your Majesty, do you know that the spiritual vein left by the great master of Tianmai Mountain Duntian has been destroyed and can never be activated again."

Su Yu looked at Ran Ran calmly: "If you can become an immortal and leave the human world, then I will not be in charge of you. But Tianmai Mountain is still in the human world. If someone with ill intentions is lucky enough to pass the test and gain spiritual power from the marrow washing pool that should not exist, it will be the end of all living things. Shieldtian has no attachment to the human world, so why leave behind something like this to test and tempt human nature?"

Ranran understood this time.

She originally thought that Su Yu gave Mu Qingge the Immortal-eating Insect to help her improve her cultivation, but perhaps the result of the Tianmai Mountain spiritual vein being polluted was what Su Yu really wanted.

If the Vermillion Bird had not shown its might, these uncontrolled insects would have broken through the Tianmai Mountain and wiped out all the immortals from the three major sects at the foot of the mountain...

The kingdom of Daqi does not need powerful immortal cultivators like Wei Yan and Su Yishui. Su Yu's real goal is to destroy those holy places for building Jindan and prevent any more talented immortal cultivators from emerging.

At this moment, Ran Ran finally understood what her master had told her to be on guard against. This kind of person in a high position, who was like a god and could decide life and death with an iron fist and a steel gut, was really chilling.

Ran Ran sighed, then stood up and looked at the corona in the yard. It was almost noon, and the master should take action.

At this time, the sun's corona was moving with light and shadow, and it was exactly at noon. Ran Ran squinted his eyes and looked at the brilliant sunlight slanting down. He turned his head and glared at Su Yu and said, "Dog Emperor, a true strong man can't be suppressed by suppression."

As she finished her words, a loud explosion sounded from the direction of the Lake Wen, and a dragon with a faint golden glow rushed up from under the Lake Wen. The chains wrapped around it made a tearing sound due to the huge force pulling.

Ran Ran clapped her hands excitedly. She turned her head righteously just now at the perfect time to definitely give the dog emperor a shock!

Next is the great and glorious moment when the master displays his divine power and slaps the dog emperor in the face!

At the moment when the giant dragon was flying into the sky, it seemed to hit an invisible huge net in the clear sky. The whole sky was shining with light golden web. After the dragon hit the net, it seemed to feel endless pain, and it made a deafening dragon cry, and fell heavily into the lake again.

It took less than a blink of an eye for Ran Ran to angrily curse "Dog Emperor". The aftermath of the earthquake had not yet subsided, and Ran Ran was in a very difficult situation.

She was really irritated by Su Yu just now, so much so that she blurted out the words "dog emperor" without thinking.

Who knew that the master's glory would be so short-lived, and he was slapped back into the water like a carp. She only hoped that the master would live up to his expectations and jump out of the water again, otherwise it seemed that her and Zhou Feihua would have the same fate.

At this time, Su Yu stood up and asked calmly: "Are you waiting for Su Yishui to break out of the water? There is no need to wait any longer. He has just consumed too much spiritual power. He should have been devoured by the dragon's magic power and be trapped in the dragon's body forever."

After hearing this, Ranran turned around abruptly and looked at Su Yu.

How did he know that the master was inside the dragon's body using the beast control technique? The master just jumped into the lake, and Su Yu probably didn't know what was happening underwater!

Su Yu smiled and said, "You must be curious about who told me this, right?"

As he spoke, he walked to the window, stretched out his hand and fiddled with the string of Western Region wind chimes that he had given to Zhou Feihua before, and said with a smile: "If it weren't for you and Concubine Jing, I might not really know what Su Yishui was planning!"

When Ran Ran looked carefully, he finally saw the strange hot patterns on the floral paper that wrapped the wind chime...it was a sound transmission note!

Ranran couldn't help but look at Concubine Jing, who was bitten by insects and felt numb and couldn't get up. She also widened her eyes in disbelief.

It turned out that Su Yu had been listening to everything that happened in the house through the sound transmission note on the wind chime, but he remained calm and even pretended to recognize Ran Ran through a bowl of porridge.

But why didn't he stop them from diving into Wen Lake and let Ran Ran successfully retrieve Su Yishui's body?

At this time, on the other side of the lake, there were still waves. The giant dragon was thrashing in pain underwater, but it could not jump out of the water again because it could not break the chain.

Su Yu listened to the sound of the lake surging in the distance, as if listening to the soothing music, which made people feel relaxed and happy: "In the past, I did have the idea of ​​merging with the dragon. But this dragon is really out of control, and its evil nature is getting stronger... After seeing the water demon sent by Wangxiang Pass, I really can't imagine that I will be possessed by scales in the future, half demon and half ghost. So, after Tianmai Mountain, I heard that Su Yishui was possessed by the white tiger, and I had a new idea..."

When she heard this, Ran Ran's blood ran cold. She had already vaguely guessed Su Yu's thoughts. However, only the disciples of Xishan knew that the master was possessed by the white tiger. Why did the emperor also know about it?

At this time, Lao Feng had already opened the suitcase containing Su Yishui. Su Yu walked to the suitcase, lowered his head and carefully observed the comatose Su Yishui, and said with satisfaction: "Look, he is obviously older than me, but he still looks like an 18-year-old boy. The eternal youth that ordinary people desire is so easy for him..."

Ran Ran wanted to fly and grab the master's body, but was held down by several strange men who surrounded him.

She shouted, "You...want to take it away?"

Su Yu wants to live forever, but doesn't want to become a half-demon, half-ghost. Could it be that his real goal is... his master's body?

Su Yu laughed loudly after hearing this: "Seize the house? There must be someone in the house! Since he has already vacated the position, how can I be considered to have seized the house?"

Since the Tianmai Mountain, the Su Yu had been making careful plans. When Su Yishui set out for the capital, all the plans began.

Including the recent unusually heavy rains in the capital and the sudden appearance of a dragon shadow in the inner river, Su Yu deliberately let Su Yishui notice them.

He knew Su Yishui too well. He was a natural genius, deep-minded, and at the same time... overconfident.

In order to protect Mu Qingge, the mother of this dragon egg was stabbed to death by the Jiuyun Dragon-Slaying Arrow in the battle of Fan Yao, and gave birth to this dragon egg before her death.

Mu Qingge promised the mother dragon with tears in her eyes that she would definitely hatch her child and send it back to the Dragon Island in the East China Sea. Unfortunately, Mu Qingge failed to complete the task and was surrounded and suppressed by the three major sects.

Su Yishui has always felt that he owes Mu Qingge, so he will definitely fulfill Mu Qingge's promise and find a way to rescue the dragon trapped in the palace.

Even if Su Yishui didn't want to fulfill his promise, he would never allow himself to merge with the dragon...

Now, everything went according to his plan. Su Yishui's soul was trapped in the dragon's body, and this youthful body came into his hands intact.

Su Yu's smile deepened, and he looked at the motionless Su Yishui with a little greed - this healthy body without a soul but with blood relationship with him was a godsend and a curtain from heaven to him!

Ran Ran gritted his teeth and said, "Are you going to give up the throne for the sake of immortality?" How could Su Yu continue to be the emperor while holding Su Yishui's hand?

Su Yu had obviously thought about it long ago, and said softly: "When I was young, I looked a lot like Su Yishui. At that time, you often stared at my face in a trance... So if I say that I took the elixir made by the monks, not only did the medicine cure my illness, but I also regained my youth, it would be natural. I haven't shown my face in front of the court officials for a long time. Do you think that when they kneeled in the court and looked at the dragon throne, they would really notice that my appearance had changed?"

His meaning was very clear. As long as he said that he had taken an elixir to regain youth and then revealed his true appearance bit by bit, people would slowly forget his original face and remember his current appearance.

At this moment, Zhou Feihua, who was unable to move, was finally able to speak. She glared and said, "Your Majesty! How did you become like this? Please think twice! You knew that he was... How could you use the body of this evil creature?"

Su Yu smiled at his beloved concubine and said in a cold tone: "My beloved concubine, you have changed so much that I can't recognize you. You knew that I needed the dragon to survive, but you still helped others release the dragon. It seems that you are not as loyal to me as you said..."
