Upon seeing this, the old minister's heart skipped a beat. Before he could react, Wang Simeng stepped forward, grabbed his arm, and flew out of the hall into the distance.
"ah!!!!!!!"
The old minister's shouts echoed through the sky, and he vanished in the blink of an eye.
The ministers were all dumbfounded by the scene, and Emperor Yongshun was also extremely surprised.
Seeing this, Mo Beichen told Emperor Yongshun that he would be back soon, and then turned and flew away.
This surprised everyone even more!
Wang Simeng, accompanied by the old minister, flew to the edge of the imperial city and then flew back.
At first, the old minister could still shout a few words, but soon he couldn't shout anymore. His body trembled like a leaf, fearing that Wang Simeng would throw him down.
"Hmph! I heard you outside saying you wanted the Emperor to arrest me and confiscate my shops! Where did you get the audacity? Now you're questioning me? Then I'll give you a good lesson."
Wang Simeng saw that the old minister was in a panic, fearing that someone might die and that it would be troublesome to treat them.
Moreover, this old man was merely using words, and being a high-ranking official, he hadn't actually harmed her, so she didn't intend to punish him too severely. However, there couldn't be a second time; if it happened again, she wouldn't let him off the hook.
Wang Simeng led the old man on a tour of the capital before deciding to return to the palace. On their way back, they happened to run into Mo Beichen.
The two exchanged a glance, smiled slightly, and then led their people back to the main hall.
As soon as Wang Simeng entered the main hall, she put the old minister down. The old minister's legs went weak, and he sat down on the ground with a thud.
Soon, Wang Simeng sensed a change in the way the ministers looked at her. Their eyes held a newfound admiration? Respect?
Hmm? Could I have seen wrong? Turning to look at Emperor Yongshun, the emperor's gaze was even stranger.
Seeing this, Mo Beichen stepped in front of Wang Simeng and took her hand.
When Emperor Yongshun saw the two hands clasped together, his eyes lit up again.
Hey! Beichen Xing!
Emperor Yongshun's gossip-loving spirit was burning fiercely; he wished he could ask Mo Beichen right now what was going on. However, with so many ministers present, he held back.
He then coughed lightly and looked at the stunned ministers.
"Well... now that Miss Wang has explained, do any of you still have any questions?"
Yes! Yes! Yes! An immortal! It's certain that Miss Wang is an immortal, but the Regent was a mortal before! How did he become an immortal now and be able to fly? Does Miss Wang take on disciples? Everyone was filled with doubt.
Finally, one of the old ministers couldn't hold back any longer. His face flushed slightly, and he coughed lightly.
“I wonder… does Miss Wang take on apprentices? My eldest grandson is 17 years old this year. He is smart, quick-witted, physically strong, and handsome… If all else fails, he can work as your assistant.”
“Hey! Prime Minister Ji! You… Miss Wang, my youngest daughter, is 16 years old this year. She is smart and lovely, and hardworking. Miss Wang, why don’t you consider her?” another minister said.
"Oh! Miss Wang!..."
"Miss Wang, my son..."
Upon hearing their words, Mo Beichen's face darkened, and he sneered. "My lords, didn't you say before that the Emperor would punish Meng'er? Why have you changed your mind so quickly?"
Some ministers who had not said those things before suddenly felt more confident and stood up straight.
“Your Majesty, this old minister did not say such a thing. I knew that people as intelligent as Miss Wang and Your Majesty would never do such a brainless thing,” General Li said.
Some ministers, upon hearing this, exclaimed, "Wow! This old man Li really knows how to talk; he's quite the charmer, switching between praise and criticism!"
They quickly followed suit.
"Yes! I have always thought that His Highness the Regent is exceptionally intelligent and that Miss Wang is kind-hearted. It is impossible for her to do something so reckless."
"I also think..."
Wang Simeng was utterly speechless. What was supposed to be a criticism session had suddenly turned into a sales pitch? A praise session? This was just not right.
Emperor Yongshun finally couldn't hold back any longer and rolled his eyes as he lowered his head, disregarding his image.
What a shameless bunch.
He then immediately straightened his face and said seriously, "Since all my ministers are alright, you may leave now! Do not disturb Miss Wang any further."
Upon hearing the Emperor's stern voice, the crowd paused in their sales pitches and praises, and the hall fell silent.
Wang Simeng sensed the awkward atmosphere and quickly said, "Your Majesty, since everything is alright, I'll take my leave now."
"Good!" Emperor Yongshun nodded with a smile, then turned to look at Mo Beichen, who was holding Wang Simeng's hand.
Mo Beichen seemed to understand Emperor Yongshun's meaning. "Brother, I'll take Meng'er back first."
Emperor Yongshun was secretly pleased, but said without changing his expression, "Alright, go! Take good care of Miss Wang."
Bei Chen nodded, then pulled Wang Simeng away.
"Why did His Majesty look at me so strangely just now?" Wang Simeng asked, puzzled.
Mo Beichen affectionately pinched Wang Simeng's nose and said, "My brother knows we're together, and he's happy to have a sister-in-law."
Wang Simeng blushed after hearing this.
"oh!"
She had only just remembered this detail.
Mo Beichen couldn't help but smile as he looked at Wang Simeng.
His dream is so cute.
......
Overnight, the news that Miss Wang and His Highness the Regent were both immortals spread throughout the capital and even showed a tendency to spread to more distant places.
Some people believe it, and some people don't.
Another piece of news is that the Li family, the richest family in Beijing, withdrew all their businesses from the capital overnight.
Wang Simeng guessed that the Li family was the family of the woman who had deceived her and drugged her. This was confirmed by Mo Beichen.
A house in the suburbs of Beijing.
"Meng'er, these are for you!" Mo Beichen said, handing Wang Simeng a wooden box.
"Huh? What's this?"
Wang Simeng took it and opened the wooden box, puzzled.
Inside, the room was filled with shop deeds and land deeds. Wang Simeng's eyes widened in disbelief.
“These…these things…”
"Don't worry, Meng'er, this is compensation from the Li family. It will make it easier for you to open your own shop in the future. I've checked, and these shops are all quite good."
"Okay, then I'll accept it." Wang Simeng smiled and put the box into her spatial storage.
She continued, "Shall we go inside the space villa for a while? Take Xiaobai inside."
“Okay!” Mo Beichen nodded, and Wang Simeng called Xiaobai over as well. The two of them and the beast entered the space directly.
The two were startled as soon as they entered. The villa was filled with spiritual energy.
Wang Simeng quickly asked System Xiao Liu in her mind.
"Little Six! Little Six! What's going on? I can feel spiritual energy in this space, which wasn't there before."
System Xiao Liu slowly replied, "Host, this spiritual energy suddenly appeared after you returned from Qin. Xiao Liu guesses that you did something in Qin that caused spiritual energy to appear in the space."
