Imperial Palace, outside Shou'an Hall.
In the surprised eyes of the servants, the eldest princess Mu Xizi, who rarely left her residence, stepped forward. Her waist-length hair and sickly yet beautiful face were so eye-catching.
The former most beautiful woman in the royal family, even after years of baptism, her style has not diminished, and she even has a bit more mature charm.
"The eldest princess."
In front of the palace, the servants were briefly shocked, and then they all saluted respectfully, not daring to be disrespectful at all.
"No need to be polite, just go get busy."
Mu Xizi responded with a gentle expression, and immediately stepped into the palace in front.
In the Shou'an Palace, Emperor Shang, who was closing his eyes to rest, noticed someone was coming and slowly opened his eyes.
"My sister, I have met the emperor brother." Mu Xizi stepped forward, bowed respectfully, and called.
"No gift."
Emperor Shang looked at the woman in front of him and asked, "Xizi, how is your health lately?"
"much better."
Mu Xizi said softly, "Brother Huang, he seems a little tired. He needs to rest more."
"I'm fine."
Emperor Shang leaned on the bedside and said in a calm tone, "I called you here because I have something to discuss with you."
"Is it about the Li family?" Mu Xizi asked.
"good."
The Shang Emperor nodded and responded, "You should already know that I have just made a marquis for the head of the Li family, and the Li family has also become the ninth imperial merchant of Great Shang. I would like to take this opportunity to cooperate with the Li family on some matters."
Having said this, Emperor Shang paused and continued, "The Li family is also studying the underworld now. Moreover, the Li family has a soul-suppressing bead in their hands, which has a miraculous effect on manipulating the underworld. I want to find opportunities by cooperating with the Li family. Take the soul-suppressing pearl."
"What does the emperor want my sister to do?" Mu Xizi asked directly.
"You come forward to discuss cooperation with the Li family." Emperor Shang replied.
"My sister accepts the order." Mu Xizi bowed Yingying and accepted the order.
"Xizi, don't you ask anything?" Emperor Shang looked at the imperial sister in front of him and asked seriously.
"Since the imperial brother summoned the imperial sister, he must have made up his mind. My sister can just follow the orders. There is no need to ask more." Mu Xizi responded softly.
"Xizi, you still can't let him go?" Seeing this, Emperor Shang sighed lightly and asked.
"If you have never picked it up, how can you put it down."
Mu Xizi's eyes gradually turned cold and he responded, "Brother, I don't want to talk about this matter, so let's continue talking about business."
"That's all, let's not talk about this for now."
Emperor Shang nodded slightly and did not want to say anything more on this issue. He reminded, "Xizi, the Dragon Boat Festival will be in two days. At that time, the Queen will hold a banquet on the Xiangshui River. As the new nobles of the court, the Li family will definitely attend. Yes, you are always smart and should know what to do."
"My dear sister, I understand."
Mu Xizi narrowed his eyes slightly and reminded in a calm tone, "Brother, please seek skin from a tiger, be careful of raising a tiger for trouble."
"The Li family is already in serious trouble."
A cold look flashed in Emperor Shang's eyes, and he said, "That's why we need to find out the flaws of the Li family through this cooperation. Xizi, you are the person I trust most. I leave this matter to you."
"Brother Huang's trust is really heavy."
Mu Xizi said calmly, "My sister has heard about how powerful the Li family's legitimate son is. To be honest, I don't have much confidence."
"I believe in you." Shang Huang said seriously.
Mu Xizi was silent. After a moment, he bowed respectfully again and said, "My sister, I will do my best. Brother, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave first."
"Go ahead."
Emperor Shang nodded and said meaningfully, "The deceased is gone, it's time to let go."
"My sister, please retire."
Mu Xizi did not answer, responded, turned and left.
In the palace, Emperor Shang looked at Xizi's leaving figure with a complicated expression.
It's a pity that Xizi has such amazing martial arts talent.
Outside the Shou'an Palace, Mu Xizi stepped out, his face became gentle again, and he would respond gently to every chamberlain who came forward to salute.
Not long after, Mu Xizi came outside Zhengyang Palace and went straight into his bedroom.
There were almost no servants around the palace. The servants in Zhengyang Palace knew that the eldest princess liked to be quiet, so they did not dare to disturb her easily.
In the palace, Mu Xizi stopped and looked at the portrait hanging on the wall in front of him, with a deep sadness flashing in his eyes.
The man in the portrait has a handsome face and a tall figure. Even though he is just the person in the painting, he still gives people a feeling of being unattainable.
After staring for a long time, Mu Xizi gathered his mind and reached out to push the wall in front of him, and the entire wall rumbled and rotated.
Behind the wall is an endless corridor that leads to nowhere.
Mu Xizi stepped into it, walked along the stone steps on the corridor, and walked down step by step.
About half a quarter of an hour later, when the stone steps reached the end, Mu Xizi stopped and opened a stone door again.
The stone door rumbled open, and then, in the stone chamber in front of him, balls of flames burned, illuminating the dim stone chamber.
As soon as you see them, you can see a series of pale figures standing in the stone room, their eyes are closed tightly, and their breath is extremely cold.
Counting carefully, there are actually hundreds of figures in the stone chamber, and without exception, they are all from the underworld.
However, the underworld here seems to be very different from the royal ancestral hall and the underworld in the underworld. It is neither like the royal family members controlled by Taishang nor the monsters in the underworld who have completely lost their minds.
The feeling is quiet.
It is more like a dead thing without independent will and life.
Obviously, the royal family has come a long way in the research of Hades, and can even be regarded as its own lineage.
Taishang's creation of the underworld can be regarded as a work of genius that is unprecedented in history. Later generations also made no concessions and blazed their own paths one after another on the basis of the sages.
This is one of the reasons why the Li family wants to cooperate with the royal family.
It is indeed very difficult for the Li family to find a way to deal with Netherland. If they can combine the research results of the royal family and even Taishang on Netherland, this hope will be much greater.
In the stone room, Mu Xizi looked at the statue in front of him, his eyes as cold as iron, completely different from his previous gentle appearance.
Suddenly, in the stone chamber, a Netherworld figure seemed to notice something and suddenly opened his eyes.
For an instant, a look of struggle flashed in Ming Tu's eyes. The next moment, the figure rushed out suddenly and reached out to grab the throat of the woman in front of him.
However.
Just when Mingtu's right hand was about to touch Mu Xizi, his body trembled suddenly and he could not take another half step forward.
So close yet yet a foot away, Mingtu's arms stretched forward with all their strength, trying to catch the woman in front of him, but it was still difficult to get past half an inch.
Mu Xizi looked at the underworld in front of him that wanted to devour his master, his eyes became colder and colder, and after a moment, he coldly uttered two words:
"Kneel down!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Mingtu's body shook, and his knees involuntarily knelt down with a bang.
