Guo Jing became a guest of honor of Zhao Ji and was named the Supreme Saint Hunyuan Guiyi Zhenjun. Zhao Ji listened to Guo Jing's words and did what he said.
At this moment, Guo Jing sat on the altar with his eyes closed, making a sword gesture and muttering: "Taishang Laojun, Sanqing Zhenjun Great Emperor, bless my Daojun Taishanghuang to prolong his life..."
God knows how long he talked, but he finally slowly opened his eyes and finished the ritual.
Zhao Ji hurried forward and asked happily, "Master, what happened?"
Guo Jing said slowly, "Your Majesty, just now my three souls went up to heaven and spoke with the South Pole Longevity Star. The South Pole Longevity Star said that if Your Majesty wants to live a long and healthy life, he should commit less killing and do more good deeds."
When Zhao Ji heard that he could live a hundred years, he was overjoyed and asked, "Master, could you please tell me more details?"
Guo Jing saluted with one hand, acting like a gentleman. "Your Majesty, the Xiongzhou Transport Commissioner Jiao Zifu has been arrested for breaking the law. He is also a relative of the Empress Dowager. If Your Majesty and the Empress Dowager go and ask the Emperor to spare his life, it would be considered saving a life and a great act of kindness."
Zhao Ji was overjoyed and immediately went to Yanfu Palace to find Queen Mother Zheng. The two of them went straight to Wende Hall to find Zhao Huan.
"Huan'er, Huan'er. Jiao Zifu is a relative of the empress dowager. Although he has violated the law, Huan'er should spare his life." Zhao Ji, dressed in a Taoist robe, said while sitting in the hall.
Empress Dowager Zheng nodded and said, "I am Jiao'er's aunt. Jiao'er is usually honest and obedient to me. I believe he was bewitched by others and made a mistake. Your Majesty, can you spare his life and allow him to return to the capital to serve as an official? Let him stay by my side so that I can keep an eye on him and prevent him from causing trouble again."
Zhao Huan felt helpless. The Queen Mother and his father had come to plead for mercy, so he couldn't kill Jiao Zifu again. Fortunately, the smuggled weapons had been recovered. He bowed and said, "I will obey the wishes of my father and mother."
Zhao Ji and Empress Zheng looked at each other and smiled. After chatting with Zhao Huan about home matters, they took their leave.
