Chapter 183: Inside the Palace, Behind the Screen

The most common way of communication between the Empress and Pei Qingshu is through letters.

Therefore, she is very familiar with Pei Qingshu's habit and situation of sending letters, and she also knows that Pei Qingshu has an organization that is specifically used to send letters to him.

So far, all the letters that have reached Yu Wei's hands have been sent by this organization.

There has never been a child of the Pei family to send a letter, let alone a child of the main line of the direct line.

Could something really have happened?

"Who is this direct line child?" The Empress asked lightly, her voice still a little lazy, and there was a hint of fatigue.

"He calls himself Pei Yuezhi." Yu Wei answered truthfully. She lived deep in the inner palace and didn't know who Pei Yuezhi was.

"So it's him." The Empress seemed even more confused.

She had heard of Pei Yuezhi's name. In recent months, the Naxian Hall in Linjiang County has been in full swing, attracting many martial arts masters to join the Dao Da Zhou. He

is considered to be one of the more outstanding young people in the Linjiang Pei family.

Specially letting such a direct descendant to deliver the letter...

The empress's eyebrows slightly wrinkled, and she said lightly, "Put the letter here, and then leave."

"Yes, I will take my leave." Yu Wei put the letter on the jade table and bowed and left.

After a while, the empress slowly stood up behind the screen.

She took a deep breath, as if she was adjusting her body, then walked down the bed, put a red dress on herself, and walked to the jade table where the letter was placed.

This empress looked only in her twenties, with extremely beautiful appearance, perfect facial features, crystal clear skin, and could be called a beauty of the country.

She was wearing a fiery red dress, noble and gorgeous, covering her beautiful and slender figure. Between her eyebrows was a majestic aura that looked down on the world, with the demeanor of an emperor.

However, it seemed that she had just gotten up from the bed.

Her long black hair that reached her waist was not bound up, and some of the black hair was scattered in her temples, adding a bit of lazy charm to her majesty.

This was the Supreme Phoenix Empress who had supported the entire Great Zhou Dynasty for 72 years and no longer been controlled by the Immortal Sect.

Li Mingqiong.

"Could this cripple have done something and planned to write a letter to explain his last wishes?" Li Mingqiong murmured and picked up the letter on the jade table.

But before she could remove the wax, her face suddenly changed color, and the blood color disappeared, and a somewhat morbid paleness appeared, and her whole spirit instantly became listless.

She suddenly staggered and almost fell to the ground. She had to hold on to the screen beside her to stand up.

But her breathing suddenly became rapid, and her high chest kept rising and falling.

After a long time, Li Mingqiong returned to normal, and her extremely pale face finally showed some blood color again.

But she still couldn't help rubbing her head, trying to relieve the remaining pain.

"I don't know when this old problem will be cured." Li Mingqing pressed his temples, looked at the letter from Pei Qingshu, and couldn't help but sigh, "Maybe this is the retribution for our forceful breakthrough?

" "You combined the condensation method of the blood of heaven and man to forcefully break through the realm. Although you gained power far beyond that of heaven and man, it also caused your body to age rapidly and your life span was greatly reduced.

"I tried to combine the power in my body with my soul to directly condense the Dharma image, but I went astray. My soul became extremely powerful, but my body became increasingly fragile.

"It would be great if the Immortal Venerable was here. I really want to listen to the Immortal Venerable's teachings again... I wonder if the Immortal Venerable recognizes me as a disciple..."

Thinking this in her heart, she opened the letter sent by Pei Qingshu, and was stunned after just one glance.

"If I die, please tell the Immortal Venerable after you find him that Pei Qingshu has never forgotten his kindness and has never given up looking for him. I don't ask for the title of disciple, I only ask the Immortal Venerable to remember that there was a successor like me in the world. "

Senior sister...

this cripple actually called me senior sister...

No, this is a farewell letter.

What did he do?!"

Li Mingqiong's eyes widened in surprise.

An invisible aura suddenly burst out from her body, and the sky above the Great Zhou Imperial City dimmed, with clouds rolling and gathering.

Everyone in the city felt some inexplicable depression in their hearts at this moment.

This is the power of the peak of the third realm of the fairy world.

The fluctuation of emotions is enough to cause great changes in the sky.

Although her state is a little strange, the strength of her soul is far stronger than her physical body, and she often feels weak in her physical body, but the power she possesses is not weak at all.

Enough to be comparable to Buddha.

"Could it be related to the previous strange phenomenon in the direction of Linjiang County? "Li Mingqiong's brows were tightly locked, and she said in a deep voice, "You are my junior brother and the descendant of the Immortal Lord. How

could you die without knowing why? !" "If I really meet the Immortal Lord and tell him that I, as his senior sister, failed to take good care of my junior brother and caused his death, would the Immortal Lord think that I have nothing to do with this?"

Then, after she tied her hair and put on a crown and dressed appropriately, she looked outside, "Is Yu Wei here?"

"I'm here!" Yu Wei's voice came from outside immediately. She had been standing outside, waiting for Li Mingqiong's instructions.

"Come in." Li Mingqiong said in a deep voice.

"Yes!" Yu Wei hurriedly pushed the door open and bowed respectfully, saying, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"Take my golden order and go find Pei Yuezhi." Li Mingqiong took out a token from his sleeve, "Ask about Pei Tianren. If necessary, you can go to Linjiang County in person."

"Your Majesty, I obey your order!" Yu Wei took the golden order with both hands respectfully, and said solemnly, "I will definitely live up to your Majesty's trust!"

"Go." Li Mingqiong waved his hand.

After a while, she was the only one left in the bedroom, and she took off her crown and red robe.

Li Mingqiong lay down on the bed behind the screen in a light gauze again, and yawned involuntarily.

Then she closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Although she was very powerful now, she was easily fatigued. On weekdays, she would need to sleep for two or three hours to recover after just a little movement.

However, it was different when she used her power against the enemy.

The last time he went to Xuanhuang Tiangong, he killed two earth immortals, and his spirits were high for many days, and he could work without sleep.

But this situation obviously cannot happen all the time.

Therefore, most of the time, Li Mingqiong was lying on the bed behind the screen, lazy and tired.

...

Since going to Linjiang County City was not an urgent matter, Cui Heng and his group did not rush.

It was said to be a rush, but it was more like sightseeing and observing the situation of the people along the way.

However, Cui Heng's main experience was to read the collection of exploration information sent by Hui Shi, and to learn about the various situations of Tianxu Realm from Pei Qingshu.

Therefore, they walked for five days before finally arriving at Linjiang County City.

This place is actually several times larger than Guanzhou City.

There are more people, and the streets are full of all kinds of shops, which are very prosperous.

Cui Heng walked on the streets of Linjiang County City, looking at the smiling faces of the people passing by, and nodded gently, "Whether it is the local county town or this county city, you have governed very well."

"Thank you for the compliment, Master. I am just doing my job." Pei Qingshu smiled, "If I can't lead the people to live a good life, what is the difference between me and the previous nobles and wealthy families?"

The changes in Linjiang County City also started seventy years ago.

Before that, the people here were also just the objects of exploitation and oppression by the nobles and wealthy families. They worked hard for a whole year and might not be able to have a full meal.

When Pei Qingshu suddenly appeared, took control of the entire Linjiang Pei family, and freed the Linjiang Pei family from the control of the immortal gate, the lives of the people changed completely.

Now, more than seventy years have passed, and there are still many people from that time who are alive.

They will tell their children and grandchildren about the situation back then and the earth-shaking changes in these years.

When Pei Qingshu was walking on the road, he would meet people who saluted him almost every few steps.

It can be seen how much the people love him.

Therefore, it took a long time before Cui Heng and his party arrived at the Pei family's house.

- In order to avoid trouble, Pei Qingshu deliberately manipulated his body and turned himself into a man in his forties or fifties, so that his family would not recognize him after he regained his youth.

"Master, this is the Pei family." Pei Qingshu smiled and was about to introduce the Pei family mansion and the next arrangements to Cui Heng.

At this moment, Pei Yuezhi suddenly appeared and walked out from inside, followed by a girl dressed as a man. Both of them looked very solemn.

But when they walked to the door, they saw Pei Qingshu and Cui Heng and his group next to him, and they were stunned.

"Grandpa!!" Pei Yuezhi exclaimed in great excitement, "You, you are still alive! Bah! What am I talking about, Grandpa, are you okay? Hey, Mr. Chen, why are you here too? Grandpa..."

He saw so many people following Pei Qingshu, and was stunned and at a loss.

After all, he was just thinking about how to hide the fact that Grandpa had passed away, but who would have thought that he would see Grandpa coming back in the blink of an eye.

"Bah!" Pei Qingshu's mouth twitched, he raised his hand and hit Pei Yue on the back of the head, and said with a smile, "Your grandfather just said that he might not be able to come back, but he didn't say that he would definitely not come back, you little bastard..."

At this time, he suddenly noticed the girl in men's clothing next to him, frowned immediately, and said in a deep voice: "This girl, if I recognize you correctly, you should be... the female official Yu Wei in the palace?"

"Your humble servant is Yu Wei." Yu Wei nodded and saluted, and said respectfully, "Your Majesty gave me a golden order to let me come here to investigate the affairs of my predecessor. Now that I see that my predecessor is safe, I can also return to the capital to report."

"You are here to investigate my situation on the orders of the Emperor?" Pei Qingshu's face changed immediately upon hearing this. His eyes widened as he looked at Pei Yuezhi and gritted his teeth and said, "You little bastard, did you deliver the letter?!"

It's over!

The letter called me Senior Sister...
