"Guardian, what do we do now?" Hua Qingqing touched her belly: "Guardian, where am I supposed to get them a child? What if the Heavenly Lord finds out I lied to her?"
Hua Qingqing nervously gripped her handkerchief tightly.
"What's there to be afraid of, Hua Qingqing? With me here, you will definitely give birth safely this time, and you will even give birth to a baby boy."
"What I want is for this baby boy to become the heir of the Immortal Realm, and for the Heavenly Emperor to despise Emperor Wuchen and the Heavenly Empress."
“But the child… won’t give it away?” Hua Qingqing stood in front of Li Muge, barely daring to breathe.
"No, but the Heavenly Empress doesn't intend to harm you. Why don't you play along? I, the Protector of the Celestial Realm, will send someone in to help you."
"Hua Qingqing, don't disappoint me, understand? Otherwise..."
"Rest assured, Protector." Hua Qingqing lifted her skirt and knelt on the ground: "Your subordinate will certainly not disappoint you, Protector."
"Okay, sure."
Li Muge disappeared inside the hall.
Use magic to transform yourself into an ordinary maid in the Heavenly Palace.
Just as she was about to leave, a maid suddenly grabbed her tightly.
"You must be the maidservant who serves Emperor Wuchen. Go and see him, Emperor Wuchen has a headache."
Li Muge was pulled forward.
After tens of thousands of years, she finally stepped into this familiar yet unfamiliar palace once again.
Wuchen pressed his head, the pain almost driving him mad.
Does he do this every day?
Li Muge walked up to a maid and asked her what was wrong. The maid had her hair in two buns and was so worried that she shed tears.
"Yes, for some reason, thousands of years ago, the Emperor contracted this strange disease. Every time it flares up, he suffers unbearable pain, and now he can't even see properly."
Emperor Wuchen has always treated his servants well, and he is gentle and polite to everyone.
"Why? Why should someone as good as Emperor Wuchen suffer so much?"
The maidservant choked back tears.
Li Muge silently added in her heart, "Yes, someone like Wuchen is kind to everyone and has compassion for everyone."
But only with her,
She gave everything, but still couldn't earn even a sliver of pity from him, so high and mighty.
With that thought in mind, she prepared to leave.
Unexpectedly, Wuchen, who was on the verge of a breakdown from a headache, suddenly stepped forward and hugged her tightly.
"Your Majesty, what are you doing!"
Li Muge clenched her fists. Damn it, if this weren't the Immortal Realm, she would definitely make that scumbag Wuchen taste what it means to be in excruciating pain.
"Don't go, don't leave me."
Wuchen hugged the unfamiliar woman tightly. He couldn't see her, but he guessed that she must be a maid from the Heavenly Palace.
But for some reason, as soon as he got close to her, Wuchen felt that his head was no longer hurting so much.
My heart is at peace, like a lone boat floating on the sea reaching the shore.
"Emperor Wuchen, what are you doing? Let go of me!" Li Muge, angered, pushed Wuchen away.
Wuchen fell to the ground.
The maid standing nearby exclaimed in surprise.
The guards who entered didn't care about anything else and put their knives directly to Li Muge's neck.
"How dare you! You are nothing but a maidservant of the Heavenly Palace, yet you dare to be disrespectful to Emperor Wuchen!" the guard captain shouted sternly.
"Guards, take this audacious maid to the Department of Punishments for questioning."
The Department of Punishment was a place built by the Heavenly Palace to punish palace servants and heavenly officials who made mistakes.
Basically, if a deity makes a mistake and enters that place, their fate is destined to be to lose half a day, and the other half depends on whether Yama, the King of Hell, will accept them.
"Wait, let her go," Wuchen said, and he staggered to his feet, supporting himself with his hands on the ground.
He refused the maid's offer to help him up.
"This matter was caused by my own abruptness; it has nothing to do with her."
“Your Majesty, no matter what, you are still suffering from illness, and this maid should not have laid a hand on you.”
The guard commander was indignant, as if Li Muge had killed his father.
Whether or not to go to the Department of Punishment.
Li Muge didn't care.
Anyway, even if she goes to the Department of Punishments, they can't keep her there.
"Alright, as I said, it's not her fault. Release this maid; there's no need to punish her."
"Yes." The guard captain glared at Li Muge resentfully: "You daring palace maid, hurry up and kowtow to thank Emperor Wuchen."
Li Muge stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Wuchen: "Thank you for your great kindness, Emperor Wuchen."
After she finished bowing in gratitude, she turned to leave.
"Stop." Wuchen called out to her, and Li Muge stopped in her tracks. A strange feeling crossed her mind. Could it be that Wuchen had discovered her identity?
That shouldn't be the case. Wuchen is just blind; how could she not be able to hide it from her?
"You may all leave. I wish to speak with this young lady."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The palace maids, servants, and guards inside the hall gradually withdrew.
Inside the luxurious palace, only Li Muge and Emperor Wuchen remained, facing each other.
The coldness in Li Muge's eyes hadn't faded. She no longer had any goodwill towards the blind Wuchen; only hatred remained.
But memories cannot be erased.
Li Muge was very rational.
There is a place for Wuchen in her heart.
But it is definitely not the current Emperor Wuchen.
Rather, it was the young man who treated her well when they first met, taking her horseback riding and archery, dressed in fine clothes and riding a spirited horse.
It's just a pity...
Li Muge's pupils turned slightly red from the moment she became a demon.
The boy who was with her was already dead.
"What's your name?" Wuchen asked, sitting on a chair in the hall, his words carrying a hint of authority.
“This servant’s name is… this servant’s name is…” Li Muge simply made up a name: “Your Majesty, this servant’s name is Xiaohua.”
"Little Flower, your name is quite simple. I've never heard of you in the palace before."
Li Muge composed herself and said, "Your Majesty, I am a new servant. Besides, Your Majesty is such a great person, busy with affairs every day. How could you possibly remember a nobody like me?"
"I see." Wuchen did indeed have doubts about the identity of this girl named Xiaohua, but for some reason, he felt at ease whenever he heard Xiaohua's voice.
"Xiao Hua, how about this, starting today..." Wu Chen originally wanted to transfer her to his side to serve him personally.
But his attendant rushed over in a panic: "Emperor Wuchen, please go and see! Princess Su Qing is about to destroy her own primordial spirit!"
"What?" Wuchen immediately stood up nervously.
Li Muge also went to watch the show.
"Let me die. My face is ruined like this, how can I live?"
Su Qing gathered spiritual power in his palm, threatening everyone not to come closer.
She still can't accept that the ugly, scarred woman in the mirror is herself.
"Impossible! My face! Why is my face like this? Li Muge, I'm going to kill you! Kill you!"
Anger and despair caused Su Qing to lose her mind, and she even briefly forgot to pretend, until Wu Chen's figure appeared in her eyes.
