The next day.
The Emperor brought Li Shushu to the Lingxiao Palace as promised and feasted with the Emperor of Heaven.
Li Shushu was very nervous because it was her first time meeting the greatest master in heaven and earth. She lowered her head and didn't dare to look around. She didn't even want to come at first, but the Emperor said that for the future happiness of their child, it would be better for her to come.
After bowing respectfully, the Emperor of Heaven said with a genial laugh, "Young lady, there is no need to be so polite. Quickly, raise your head and let me take a look."
Li Shushu listened to the Emperor's tone and felt that he was not as harsh as she had imagined. In addition, the Emperor held her hand tightly and comforted her, so she couldn't help but feel relaxed.
Originally, the Emperor of Heaven had a good plan. He was going to think of a way to get rid of Ao Yan, and then he would do some ideological work on his "Empress" to make her consider the overall situation and leave Ao Yan.
But the moment Li Shushu raised her head as instructed, the Emperor's expression froze for a moment, then changed several times...
However, the Emperor of Heaven is not Ji Yang. After all, his scheming is much deeper. Although he was slightly distracted, he quickly reacted, "She is indeed a great beauty with a stunning beauty. No wonder our God of War is also bewitched by her, hahahaha."
Perhaps to hide his embarrassment, the Emperor laughed heartily.
This was a purely private gathering, and the Emperor did not invite anyone else.
He invited Ao Yan and Li Shushu to sit at the imperial table, and asked the fairy servants to quickly serve many delicacies. The three of them forced smiles and chatted for a long time, seemingly having a good time. However, the Emperor of Heaven never thought of sending Ao Yan away from beginning to end.
After coming out of the Lingxiao Palace, the Emperor first asked Xiao Tu to escort Li Shushu back to Chongyan Palace, while he turned around and walked towards the inner hall.
He remembered that the Emperor of Heaven seemed to have a reincarnation mirror, which might be able to peek into some things that happened a hundred thousand years ago, so he decided to go back to the Emperor of Heaven to borrow something.
When the guards saw that the emperor had just come out and turned back, they thought that he might have missed something, so they did not stop him and did not pass on the message.
Emperor Ao Yan hurried to the Lingxiao Palace again, but saw that the Emperor of Heaven was holding a bronze mirror in his hand, which was probably the Samsara Mirror.
The Emperor must have just cast a spell, activating the Samsara Mirror. A huge screen of light was projected onto the white walls of the High Heaven Palace. The Emperor followed the beam of light and saw a woman in a pink dress running across the green lawn. Her laughter was soft and joyful. As she ran, she turned back and said, "Yan, come here quickly..."
After seeing the woman's face clearly, Ao Yan staggered and leaned on the table next to him. The table was not bearing the force and made a muffled sound.
The Emperor of Heaven sensed something unusual and quickly put away the Samsara Mirror. He turned around, his expression showing a forced calm after a slight panic. "Why are you back again?"
"Who is she?" Emperor Ao Yan felt a splitting headache. He stretched out his hand and knocked his head hard, trying to ease the pain. The face of the person in the picture looked so much like Shu'er, and the voice was similar, but it was obviously not her, because she had never called him "Yan" before.
"You're mistaken. It's someone you have nothing to do with." The Emperor of Heaven said calmly, "Are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to summon a divine doctor for you?"
"No need." Ao Yan rubbed his brows and held on with all his strength, "I came back to borrow your magic weapon, the Samsara Mirror.
"But, brother, who was that pink-dressed woman just now? Why does she look so much like Shu'er?"
The Emperor of Heaven knew Ao Yan's temper very well. If he didn't give him a good explanation this time, he would definitely not be able to fool him.
After a moment of hesitation, he sorted out his thoughts, picked out what he could say, and said lightly: "That was the Lotus Fairy. Many years ago, she and you and I were friends.
Sadly, she passed away hundreds of thousands of years ago. I just saw that Miss Li looked a bit like her, so I took the Samsara Mirror to remember her."
"Brother, could you please lend me the Samsara Mirror?"
The Emperor of Heaven was obviously lying, otherwise why would the person he was commemorating call him by his name "Yan"?
But Ao Yan knew that if the Emperor of Heaven was deliberately hiding something, it would be futile to ask further questions, so he decided to change the subject.
"Why not?" The Emperor of Heaven answered calmly, but he slowly took out the Samsara Mirror from his sleeve and was about to hand it to Ao Yan. For some reason, he didn't hold it firmly, and the mirror fell to the ground with a crisp sound...
When Ao Yan wanted to pick it up again, he found that it had broken into eight pieces.
The Emperor spread his hands and said helplessly, "Look, what a coincidence, the Samsara Mirror is broken.
I'll have it sent to the weapon shop right away, and then have it sent back to you after it's repaired, okay?"
"That's all we can do. I'll have to trouble you, brother." Seeing that things had come to this point, Ao Yan had no choice but to say respectfully.
However, he knew that the more he deliberately concealed the truth, the more problems there would be, and the more doubts he would have in his heart.
After Ao Yan left, the Emperor of Heaven ordered people to clean up the debris on the ground, but did not order anyone to send the Mirror of Reincarnation to the Weapon Shop.
He took out the real Samsara Mirror from his sleeve, fumbled with the complicated handle, and secretly rejoiced: Fortunately, I was prepared.
The Emperor of Heaven has two mirrors in his hands. One is the Samsara Mirror, which can see through the past of all living beings in the six realms; the other is called the Qiankun Mirror, through which he can see the current situation of all living beings and all things in the world.
The Emperor of Heaven usually carries these two mirrors with him and uses them to gain insight into the opportunities of all things, control the political situation, and maintain stability in the six realms.
Since Ao Yan had become suspicious, he naturally wouldn't give up. He expected that the ancient artifact, the Samsara Mirror, wouldn't be so easily broken. However, since the Emperor of Heaven had seemingly broken it in front of him, he couldn't say anything openly, so he had to find another way to get it...

Xiao Tu accompanied Li Shushu from Lingxiao Palace to Chongyan Palace. The two palaces were not very far apart, but because Li Shushu was pregnant at the moment, they walked a little slower.
