"Why did you summon me so suddenly?"
When heading to the fairy mountain side of the palace, Li Guanxuan asked Li Zhong with a puzzled look.
When he came back during this period, he would occasionally write letters to the empress. If he had any matters, he could explain them clearly in the letters. There was no need to suddenly summon him to the palace for an audience.
Besides, he is not an official...
"I don't know, I don't know. Maybe the Holy Master wants to see the young master."
Li Zhong followed Li Guanxuan and replied with a smile.
"Are there any rules over there at Huangshan?" Li Guanxuan asked.
After all, it was his first time to go to the Immortal Mountain of the Imperial Palace, and he understood that in the Immortal Dynasty of the Immortal Realm, the entire Immortal Mountain was the imperial palace, and it was definitely different from the imperial palace in the mortal world.
Viewed from a distance, the Imperial Mountain is surrounded by countless fairy mountains. It is the largest mountain in the sky, just like a heavenly palace standing in the clouds.
Of course, anyone looking that way would see only mist and blurry shadows.
Only people wearing official uniforms can use the magic power in the official uniforms to see the true appearance and climb the Imperial Mountain.
"It's no different from the mortal world. The only difference is that you can't fly in the air at will, otherwise you will be killed by the imperial guards."
Li Zhong smiled and said: "If the young master finds it troublesome to not be able to control the sky, he can apply to the Holy Master for permission to control the sky. In this way, the young master can freely enter and leave the Imperial Mountain."
"It's better to say goodbye. I just came back to Yongning and I don't want to walk through the city like that, so as not to attract the hatred of others." Li Guanxuan waved his hands and shook his head, looking at the imperial mountain that was gradually approaching.
Li Guanxuan discovered that many officials of the Dahengxian Dynasty took flying boats to enter the palace from the south gate, but under the leadership of Li Zhong, he could enter from the east gate.
There are also guards guarding the east mountain gate. Two rows of soldiers stand on both sides of the huge mountain gate. Their eyes are firm and cold, full of domineering momentum. Those who are a little timid may be trembling at this moment.
"Mr. Li."
When the imperial guards Qianhu saw Li Zhong, they immediately came up and clasped their fists to show respect.
"Sir, this is Qiao Ju Qianhu, who is at the Nascent Soul realm." Li Zhong bowed and introduced Li Guanxuan.
Li Guanxuan was secretly surprised that a thousand households were all Nascent Souls?
But Li Guanxuan thought about it and felt it was quite normal.
The Huangshan side is the most important place in the Daheng Immortal Dynasty. If there are no experts guarding the four mountain gates, if something happens, it will really be impossible to solve it immediately.
You can't let the emperor handle everything personally.
How could thousands of clones not be enough?
During this time, Qiao Ju had also heard of the name Li Guanxuan.
After all, the true form of the great eunuch Li Zhong has personally gone to Wuju Mountain to guard him. How could Li Guanxuan's identity not attract attention?
"Your Majesty, Qiao Ju, has met Mr. Li."
As a guard, he often hangs out here in Huangshan. How can Qiao Ju be a blind person? He immediately said hello to Li Guanxuan.
"Qiao Qianhu is welcome."
Li Guanxuan returned the gift with a smile on his face, without the slightest hint of arrogance as a member of the family.
Immediately afterwards, Li Zhong took Li Guanxuan inside and explained at the same time: "Inside the Imperial Mountain, you can travel by cloud or use the teleportation array to go to various palaces, which is very convenient.
Of course, each teleportation array will be guarded by dedicated guards. If the permission order cannot be obtained, the guards will kill them immediately. "
Li Guanxuan nodded slightly. He also saw many places guarded by imperial guards. The Imperial Mountain was extremely strict everywhere. Those who could serve as imperial guards were basically monks in the Golden Core realm.
Li Zhong seemed to know what Li Guanxuan was thinking and said with a smile: "The reason why the soldiers of the Imperial Guard are willing to serve in the Imperial Mountain is actually because of the good treatment and high salary. The Holy Emperor will prepare all the resources they need to break through.
In addition, if they fall into a bottleneck and are no longer suitable to be guards in the Imperial Mountain, the Holy Emperor will also arrange for them to serve in other places for training as appropriate. "
"Gold-plated, right?" Li Guanxuan couldn't help laughing.
No wonder so many people are willing to become guards.
First, serve as a bodyguard for the Empress. If you can perform well in front of the Empress, you might even be appreciated by the boss of Lianxu. The resources that will be given later are a great blessing. Who wouldn't be happy to be a bodyguard?
Secondly, when being released, the guards with strong cultivation will definitely be reused somewhere. Once their cultivation is broken through in the future, they will definitely be promoted and reused.
Generally speaking, the Imperial Guard is a gold-plated place, and the people who come out from here will basically not be bad.
Moreover, he will be fawned over by many people.
Li Zhong smiled in agreement, but he didn't say much.
What Li Guanxuan can say, he may not be able to say.
The two of them walked to a teleportation formation. After the guard saw clearly that it was Li Zhong, he put away his golden sword.
"This formation leads to the outside of Wuxia Palace, which is the Holy Emperor's palace."
Li Zhong explained, then looked at the teleportation array less than fifty meters away, and said: "That teleportation array leads to Ningshou Palace, which is the palace of the Supreme Emperor, and is located to the west."
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Guanxuan noticed a group of people riding on the clouds from a distance.
At the head was a man dressed in brocade clothes, with eyes like torches, like a hidden dragon and tiger. Under the seat was a ferocious black lion, all eyes fixed on Li Guanxuan.
Behind the man were some followers, all of whom were of high cultivation.
There are also many spiritual pets with soaring evil spirits, such as double-winged flying dragons, white snake elephants, etc...
When Li Zhong saw this person, he greeted him in a calm tone: "Wei Chen has met His Highness the Crown Prince."
Li Guanxuan was silent in his heart. The only person who could fight like this in Huangshan was probably Prince Daheng.
Prince Ji Zhenxiao got off the back of the black lion and slowly floated up on the clouds. He looked at Li Guanxuan with his eyes and bowed to Li Zhongzuo:
"Mr. Li, long time no see."
Li Zhong returned the gift.
"You must be Li Guanxuan, right?" Ji Zhenxiao asked with a smile on his face.
"Li Guanxuan, a common man, has met His Highness the Crown Prince." Li Guanxuan bowed.
"There is no need to be so polite. If we talk about seniority, your seniority may be higher than mine."
Ji Zhenxiao waved his hand and said with a smile: "Speaking of etiquette, I must salute you."
Li Guanxuan heard a hint of sarcasm in His Highness the Crown Prince's words and sighed inwardly.
However, before he could speak, Li Zhong said calmly from the side: "If His Highness the Crown Prince salutes, the Young Master can bear it."
Li Guanxuan: "???"
Are you helping me or hurting me?
Li Guanxuan's eyes widened. He never expected that Li Zhong would dare to touch his face and open his eyes wide!
Ji Zhenxiao's face suddenly became extremely gloomy.
"Li Zhong, how dare you humiliate His Highness the Crown Prince? Do you know your guilt?!"
Behind Ji Zhenxiao, an old man yelled angrily.
Li Zhong glanced at the old man and said indifferently: "If you say any more nonsense, I will kill you."
The old man was furious.
At this time, a voice came from the sky, sighing: "Okay, okay, stop bickering."
"Father, son..."
Hearing this, Ji Zhenxiao immediately knelt down towards the west. As soon as he said the words, he saw Li Guanxuan standing in front of him, his eyes glaring.
"Sorry, sorry..."
Li Guanxuan reacted quickly and walked around behind Li Zhong, wondering what the hell was going on!
He was standing there, but Ji Zhenxiao knelt down directly!
He didn't do anything!
"Okay, okay, get up. Stop being angry with Li Guanxuan. He will not pose any threat to your identity and status. Don't be too petty and be more relaxed. As long as you are a virtuous prince, your aunt will abdicate the throne sooner or later. It’s given to you, so you don’t need to waste your time trying to get it.”
The sound was extremely loud and reached everyone's ears. Everyone knelt down in fear, blocking their five senses and not daring to hear or see.
When Li Guanxuan also planned to kneel down, Li Zhong held him up and prevented him from kneeling down, so he knelt down instead.
Li Guanxuan looked confused again.
If Li Zhong doesn't let him kneel down, what does it mean to kneel down himself?
Everyone present, including spiritual pets, basically knelt down... He was the only one standing.
Does it fit?
This was not what shocked Li Guanxuan the most.
What really shocked Li Guanxuan were the words of the Supreme Emperor!
The Supreme Emperor knew what his son was going to do, so he stated it directly without fear of others hearing.
"Father, I have never had any intention of seizing the throne!" Ji Zhenxiao knelt down and bowed his head, and said loudly.
"Just lie to me and your aunt, but don't lie to yourself."
The Supreme Emperor said calmly: "Okay, okay, I won't talk to you so much anymore. Come here by yourself and don't cause trouble."
"Yes, Father."
Ji Zhenxiao responded loudly, then stood up slowly and looked at Li Guanxuan meaningfully.
Li Guanxuan came to his senses and silently bowed to each other without saying anything else.
Everything you say in this scene is wrong, so it’s better to stay silent.
Ji Zhenxiao led people into the teleportation array, and disappeared completely as the white light enveloped them.
Li Guanxuan sighed and said, "Li Zhong, you are harming me."
"The prince is always unhappy with the young master. No matter how many nice things the young master says, he won't listen."
Li Zhong smiled and said: "It's better to be more sincere and say whatever you want."
"As the saying goes, don't hit someone with a smiling face... On the contrary, your words completely put me on the opposite side of him." Li Guanxuan sighed.
"Young master, please feel at ease." Li Zhong comforted him.
Li Guanxuan shook his head helplessly and walked into the teleportation array.
As the white light passed by, when I opened my eyes again, I saw a huge palace on the left. It was quite luxurious. The floor tiles were made of jade, overflowing with spiritual energy. Mysterious runes were engraved on it, vaguely forming a terrifying palace. formation.
I have learned a lot... Li Guanxuan murmured in his heart that such a formation could probably kill a great Void Refining Master.
Li Guanxuan was walking towards the palace, and the door slowly opened. The maids guarding both sides lowered their heads and did not dare to look directly.
"Master, please, I'm waiting outside." Li Zhong bowed.
Li Guanxuan nodded slightly and then walked in.
When he stepped into the Immaculate Palace, Li Guanxuan felt a warmth wrap around his body. Many of the thoughts in his mind gradually eased. He no longer paid attention to those troubles and trivial matters, and his mood became much more stable.
"Sir, please."
A good-looking palace maid greeted Li Guanxuan with a smile and took him to the study inside.
"Your Majesty, Mr. Li has arrived." The palace maid said softly.
"Let him in."
The familiar voice of Sister Yu came from the study room. It was still so stern, full of tone that could not be disobeyed, and full of queenly style.
When Li Guanxuan stepped in, he saw the familiar and beautiful woman sitting next to the desk, reviewing memorials, her brows filled with majesty and less smiley.
What is different from a hundred years ago is that the beautiful woman is now wearing a white dragon robe.
In the past, she only wore clean white clothes and did not wear a Kowloon crown on her head. There was a hint of gentleness and considerateness in her sternness.
"Li Guanxuan, a common man, has met the Holy One."
When Li Guanxuan saw the empress again, he couldn't figure out what she was thinking, so he bowed honestly.
The empress put down her brush, glanced over, and said with a smile, "What, you're unfamiliar?"
Li Guanxuan smiled dryly and said, "It's true."
"Come here, sit next to me."
The empress waved, with a smile on her beautiful face. She patted the vacant seat next to her and motioned for Li Guanxuan to sit over.
