Jing Le was surprised that dealing with demonic energy could earn merit points, and her mood instantly improved.
In Jing Le's eyes, having merit points is equivalent to increasing strength, having money to buy things in the mall, and also a kind of secret means.
She had carefully studied the Merit Mall. Apart from the high prices, all the items inside came from the Three Thousand Great Worlds, and she could buy whatever she wanted.
Of course, this is on the premise that you have enough merit points.
After dealing with the gifts, Emperor Jing and his entourage had dinner at Xuanhua Palace and then left.
Of course, Jing Le, Duan Feibai, and the white tiger left together.
Jing Le was assigned to the room next to the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Duan Feibai found a house to stay in at random, while the white tiger diligently guarded the courtyard.
Jing Le browsed the Merit Mall in her room. She had promised to make magical artifacts for Emperor Jing and the others, so of course she had to do it well.
She has all the materials in her space, but she's missing a tool for drawing talismans. Since her strength is not what it used to be, she can only rely on external forces.
Searching for drawing tools will bring up a dazzling array of items.
"Willow Leaf Blade: 300 points, drawing effect can reach 30%, no other requirements." (Drawing effect: the percentage of the artist's own skill that the drawn talisman can bring to life.)
"Divine Brush: 1000 points, drawing effect can reach nine levels, requirement: Golden Core cultivation level".
"This thing is expensive, and it requires a certain level of strength? Unbelievable." Jing Le was extremely frustrated. If she regained her strength, she wouldn't need these things at all. Helpless, she could only continue scrolling down.
Upon seeing something, Jing Le was overjoyed and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Haha, I've finally found it, it's you!"
It was a very ordinary calligraphy brush, nothing special, except that the handle was short, about the length of a three-year-old child's palm.
It's called "Little Talisman Brush," has 800 points, and can create up to ten layers of effects. Requirements: those below the Golden Core stage can only use it three times a day, those above the Golden Core stage five times, and those above the Nascent Soul stage ten times.
Although there are many restrictions, this is the most cost-effective option. As for the number of times it can be used, that's irrelevant since she doesn't need to use it every day.
Once she becomes stronger, she won't need this at all.
Clicking "Buy" instantly depleted my merit points, leaving me with only a pitiful 30 points, and I also gained an extra pen.
"Now that we've bought the supplies, let's get to work."
...
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
Emperor Jing sat at his desk reviewing memorials, all of which had piled up and remained unprocessed that day.
Everyone wants to sit in this supreme position, but they don't know that sitting in this position means bearing the fate of everyone in the Great Yong Dynasty.
Do the common people have enough food to eat? Do they have enough clothes to keep warm? Do the soldiers on the frontier have enough weapons to defend themselves? Do they have enough medicine to treat them?
From the imperial court to the common people, there was nothing that Emperor Jing didn't have to deal with.
Of course, those incompetent rulers are an exception.
At this moment, a figure knelt on the ground: "Your Majesty, the little princess's background has been investigated and clarified. The midwife from back then has been taken to a side hall."
Emperor Jing put down his brush and looked up at the person kneeling on the ground. This was Emperor Jing's Dragon Shadow Guard, who was specifically there to protect him in secret.
These are the people who were sent out to investigate Jing Le's background.
"Bring the person in."
"yes."
A moment later, an old woman knelt on the ground, trembling, not daring to raise her head, and could only say in a trembling voice, "Your Majesty, this humble subject, this humble subject did not harm the little princess."
The midwife was found by the Empress through her family. She was supposed to be dealt with after leaving the palace, but the midwife's husband was cunning and ran away with all his belongings overnight.
Jing Le was placed at the temple gate at that time.
Those who came to handle the midwives, fearing reprimand from the family, lied and said they had completed their task, thus escaping punishment.
"If you harm the little princess, how will you have the chance to kneel here and speak to His Majesty? Hurry up and explain what happened."
"Eunuch Xu shouted sternly."
"This humble citizen says, this humble citizen will say anything, back then..."
The midwife told everything she knew, and ultimately the cause of the matter lay with the emperor.
Back then, the Empress and the Imperial Concubine met and fell in love with Emperor Jing at the same time, but Emperor Jing preferred the bright and confident Imperial Concubine and had no interest in the gentle Empress.
The Emperor and the Imperial Concubine had fallen for each other and were about to be betrothed, but the Prime Minister interfered and changed the betrothal to the Empress.
This matter troubled Emperor Jing for a long time, and in the end he still married the Consort, but she only became a concubine.
Therefore, the Empress always hated Consort Gui. She was unable to kill the Third Prince when he was born, but she did give Consort Gui a drug that would prevent her from getting pregnant. She just didn't expect that after so many years, she would still be able to get pregnant.
This led to the story of the "Prince Replaced by a Civet Cat".
"At the time, I felt sorry for the little princess, so I lied and said the baby was already dead, and took her out to deal with her... In the end, I left her at the temple gate..."
The midwife recounted the story in detail.
"Take him away."
"yes."
Emperor Jing had long suspected the truth, but if he wanted to restore Jing Le's identity, he had to get rid of the Empress, and what he lacked now was evidence.
Over the years, the inner palace was controlled by the empress, the court officials were manipulated by the prime minister, and his own reputation was ruined by him.
It's time to deal with a group of people. These old guys who draw the salary of the Great Yong Dynasty but do nothing should get out of here.
At this moment, two more shadow guards entered.
One was to pick up Duan Feibai's sister, and the other was to keep an eye on Consort Hui and the Third Prince of Tianyuan.
“Your Majesty, Princess Duan is waiting outside the gate,” Ying Shi said respectfully.
"No need, send it to Duan Feibai."
Emperor Jing was not interested in the Duan Kingdom princess; he only saved her because of Lele.
