Xie Yin's icy fingers caressed Xi Xingxue's slender neck.
The bulging blue veins were extremely fragile.
He only needs to twist it gently.
Then the other party will be able to die.
Xi Xingxue did not notice Xie Yin's subtle movements, nor did she kiss him. She remained motionless, pretending to admire Xie Yin's stunning good looks.
What a joke! This is the Crown Prince's woman. If he were to kiss her, he'd probably fail his mission on the spot.
He needs to survive, but he also needs to complete these events.
We can only try to escape when we've finished walking.
He needs to be careful before he finishes walking.
Just as Xi Xingxue stared at Xie Yin's face for too long, Xie Yin began to have some doubts.
Finally, there was a loud banging on the door.
A shrill voice rang out from outside the door.
"Your Excellency, I have urgent news to report!"
Xi Xingxue breathed a sigh of relief. Oh! It's finally here.
He nimbly flipped off Xie Yin, then got out of bed, put on his shoes and socks, and rushed to open the door.
The magnitude and speed of the reaction could not have been greater!
Xie Yin seemed to have a network freeze; by the time he got up, Xi Xingxue had already rushed out of the room.
His gaze lingered on Xi Xingxue's retreating figure, somewhat frozen in place.
When Xi Xingxue arrived at the door, she had already reverted to her aloof personality and otherworldly appearance as the Imperial Preceptor, exuding an air of superiority.
He asked in a detached tone, "What important matter?"
The person knocking on the door was a young eunuch from the emperor's side; he often came to deliver messages.
The emperor frequently needs Xi Xingxue, and the Imperial Preceptor's residence is not yet completed, so he currently resides in the palace.
The young eunuch said, "Reporting to the Grand Preceptor, it is His Majesty who summoned you."
Xi Xingxue hummed in agreement and quickly left.
Soon, Xi Xingxue arrived at the Golden Palace.
Along the way, he encountered many officials who had just finished court, and they all looked at him as if to say, "You swindling and deceitful imperial advisor."
However, Xi Xingxue kept her eyes straight ahead and was not affected in the slightest.
As long as they don't kill him.
As soon as Xi Xingxue entered the Golden Palace, she saw a bright yellowish-brown figure.
"Greetings, Your Majesty." Xi Xingxue was about to bow to the man in the yellowish-brown color.
The next second, the emperor personally helped him up, saying, "Grand Preceptor, there's no need for such formalities."
Xi Xingxue replied indifferently, "Okay."
The more arrogant he became, the more the emperor regarded him as a superior person.
The current emperor is a mediocre ruler with no great abilities, but he has managed to live to be over forty. As people get older, they want to live forever and become emperor forever. Therefore, the emperor has great trust in Xi Xingxue, who is a "celestial being".
Xi Xingxue is using the identity of a Taoist priest who came down from Lingyun Immortal Mountain. Lingyun Immortal Mountain is real, so no one can find evidence to deal with him at the moment.
The officials all knew that there was no elixir of immortality, which was why they were dissatisfied with Xi Xingxue, but dared not speak out, otherwise the emperor would have him executed.
The emperor glanced at Xi Xingxue secretly, a glint of light flashing in his cloudy but shrewd eyes:
"Imperial Advisor, after I took the longevity pill you gave me last time, I felt full of energy. My beloved concubines all praised it highly. Why don't you refine a few more pills, so that my beloved concubines can give me a few more dragon sons?"
Xi Xingxue made the same expression as an elderly person looking at their phone on the subway.
Did this emperor value beauty more than immortality?
When you have energy, instead of doing anything productive, all you do is sleep.
Of course, Xi Xingxue dared not express anything.
His expression returned to normal in an instant: "Your Majesty, this longevity elixir requires forty-nine years to refine. The one you ate last time was refined by me forty-nine years ago, so Your Majesty will have to wait another forty-nine years for the next one."
Looking at Xi Xingxue's youthful face, the emperor couldn't help but have even more faith in her abilities.
In that case, the Imperial Advisor must be sixty years old?
He looks like he's twenty.
"Then how can I become like the Imperial Advisor, looking twenty years old?"
The emperor has started having wicked thoughts again.
Xi Xingxue had already anticipated this, and remained calm: "Your Majesty, refining elixirs is an act against the heavens, but I am powerful, so it is not difficult for me. However, if I want the best results, I will have to wait a while longer. Once I have finished refining them, I will present them to Your Majesty."
The Emperor grunted in agreement: "Then hurry up."
Xi Xingxue: "Okay."
After the conversation about the elixir ended, Xi Xingxue left the Golden Palace and went to observe the celestial phenomena.
This imperial advisor, although he couldn't concoct any elixirs at all, only knew how to rub his legs and stare at the pills from under his armpits.
However, he did have some skill in interpreting celestial phenomena. Although he was only a dabbler, he could still fool some people; otherwise, the emperor wouldn't have trusted him so much.
To get to the Star-Picking Tower, you have to go around the Imperial Garden. The Imperial Garden is very large, and by the time you get to the middle, you can no longer see any palace maids.
Xi Xingxue immediately straightened her back, picked a beautiful rose and tucked it behind her ear, humming the most dazzling ethnic tune as she walked forward, completely carefree.
However, the carefree expression didn't last long; something happened.
"Ouch~ that hurts, be gentle."
"Hiss, you little vixen, you're being stubborn again. You clearly like this kind of force."
"Yes, that's right, it feels good..."
Xi Xingxue's hair stood on end, and she darted into the bushes beside her, peeking out with only one eye.
He first saw a woman's shoulder.
A man and a woman, in broad daylight, what kind of behavior is this...?
Unification?
Xi Xingxue looked away in disappointment. Oh, so it was just a massage.
Xi Xingxue spat out the leaf that had fallen into his mouth and was about to walk out when suddenly, a large hand came from behind him and pressed down on the back of his neck.
Xi Xingxue felt a chill run down her spine again, and her whole body reacted instinctively, wanting to run out immediately.
The next second.
"Crown Prince's Consort, do you think the Crown Prince would be angry if he knew that I, a man, was secretly giving you a massage?"
"Oh, it's alright, I won't let His Highness the Crown Prince know. You can continue pressing."
The man and woman exchanged a sneaky conversation.
Xi Xingxue froze on the spot, ignoring the large hand pressing down on her neck from behind.
When it comes to matters of the heart, you can't always listen to reason.
The owner of the large hand pressing on his neck said lazily, "If you don't want to live, then get out."
Xi Xingxue asked, "Who are you?"
The man snorted but didn't say anything.
Xi Xingxue asked again, "Why are you hiding in this bush?"
The man chuckled this time and asked, "Why did you hide in here? To eavesdrop?"
Xi Xingxue raised her hand to brush away the hand on her neck and slowly turned her head to look.
A man in green clothes crouched in the grass, staring at him with a sinister gaze.
He wore a green jade crown on his head, and his clothes were also green—so green that he blended in with the grass. No wonder Xi Xingxue didn't notice him earlier.
Wait, a man who likes green?
He is... Mrs. Mrs. Mrs. Son!
