The night was as thick as ink, and the lights were already on in the palace.
When Shi Rong was called in, she realized that Master An had already left. There was a strong fragrance in the hall, which was so strong that she felt dizzy when she first walked in.
The Queen sat on the bed with a tired look on her face.
"I'm tired."
"I'm going to pass the bath. Do you want the Queen to rest here tonight?" Shi Rong said quickly, while thinking in her mind, is Mr. An finished?
The Queen didn't seem to notice it, maybe she didn't get it in in the end... Mr. An is so brave!
She knew clearly what was going on inside, and when she looked at Tianhou, her eyes were a little different. In her mind, she could always imagine Lord An leaning on Tianhou.
The Queen said tiredly: "There is no need to pass on the bath. Is there anyone who wants to see you today?"
"Master Yao, the Minister of War, and Master Zhao, the minister under the sect, have all been here."
"Oh, I see."
Seeing this, Shi Rong went to take out the blanket from the cabinet nearby and brought it to the Queen of Heaven's bed.
When she got closer, she realized that the strong fragrance was emanating from the queen's body. She felt even more dizzy. She put down the blanket and quickly moved away.
This aroma seems to be somewhat similar to the aromatherapy essential oil that Mrs. An gave her before...
Seeing the Queen lying down, Shi Rong also quietly exited the hall.
He said to the maid waiting outside the palace: "The Queen of Heaven has fallen asleep inside."
"yes."
Looking at the boundless night, she couldn't help but sigh.
In short, this matter is over... It’s good that Mr. An was not discovered!

An Yan did not go back to the Prime Minister's Palace directly, but went to the Zilan Palace before leaving the palace.
Master Xuanyi has also been waiting for him.
When she saw An Yan arriving at this time, she already had the answer in her mind.
"Successful?" she asked calmly.
"Um."
Master Xuanyi nodded lightly: "That's good."
After thinking about it, An Yan asked, "Do you really want to open the Three Realms Gate?"
Master Xuanyi said, "You have already reached this point. Is it possible that you control the Queen just for the pleasure of being in power?"
An Yan frowned and said, "I think this matter is too risky. People outside the customs are not ordinary people. How can I control them with just you?"
Master Xuanyi said: "If it's just you and me, of course we can't do it. Although there are not many monks in Xuantang, they are quite a force when combined together. In addition, we, Xuanzhen, are enough to be managers."
"Why do we have to let them enter? Without them, I can live forever and be at ease in the world!" An Yan said.
"Sooner or later, you and I will have to break through the realm of fate, but the longer we live and the more powerful we are, the more we fear death. This is human nature. You can't feel it now because you are still young and can't see your own life. At the end of the world, when you truly transform into a seed of immortality, time will no longer be a passing day in your eyes. As long as a person embarks on the path of cultivation, he can only keep going up!"
"You see, if we really set the conditions for them to hand over their lives in order to enter the customs, monks from outside the customs will still flock to it, and no one will be tempted by the opportunity to become a god."
"What about the future?" An Yan continued to ask. "Once the monks from outside the pass enter the pass, they will inevitably set off an unstoppable wave of practice, which will even penetrate into Xuantang."
Master Xuanyi looked at him strangely: "Are you thinking about Xuantang?"
An Yan couldn't help but be startled.
Master Xuanyi continued: "The people you know now will all die in a hundred years. If monks are not allowed to enter, Xuantang will still be a country that strictly prohibits practice. Even if you are in power, you must retreat at an appropriate time, or Hidden behind the scenes forever, you will sooner or later get tired of these worldly pleasures over a long period of time."
"So your position is yours or that of the entire Xuantang?"
An Yan also understood what Xuanyi meant.
After opening the Three Realms Pass, they can step onto the stage and use his ability to control the Queen of Heaven to gain endless power among both monks and mortals, and gain endless opportunities on the road to becoming gods.
As for the impact that outside monks would have on Xuantang and the people of this country after entering the customs, she didn't care.
position……
When had I ever had such righteousness?
An Yan suddenly realized something in her heart, and then asked, "Are you sure enough about this matter?"
"As long as you are willing to help me..." Master Xuanyi looked directly into An Yan's eyes, with light waves flowing in his beautiful eyes.
"I won't hurt you."
Looking at the person in front of her, An Yan couldn't help but reach out and pick off the veil from her face.
This time, Master Xuanyi reached out and grabbed his hand. After a moment of silence, he said, "In practice, the most taboo thing is to indulge in addiction. If you focus on this every day... it won't be good."
An Yan grinned and said, "I've said it before, I don't practice to give up desire."
Master Xuanyi seemed to be avoiding him, and when An Yan saw this, he held her tender hand instead.
"Then you shouldn't...make me do the same."
"Why, are real people a little addicted too?"
"Stop talking nonsense..."
Master Xuanyi's voice stopped suddenly, and the hall became completely quiet, and then gradually there was a softer sound.

To the east of Luoyang City, on the school field.
The Queen of Heaven and all her ministers went here to watch the military parade.
Envoys from Qin and Han were also invited.
An Yan stood not far behind the Queen of Heaven, watching the queen wearing a bright red crown inspecting the troops below the martial arts viewing platform.
The soldiers undergoing review outside the field were not Xuanjiawei, but a group of troops wearing heavy iron armor and holding spears. An Yan carefully observed their equipment and found that they were not ordinary objects. The outside was hollowed out and made of fine materials. There are some precision machinery inside.
The Xuanjia Guards belong to the imperial guards directly under the emperor, and these off the field are the elite of the Xuantang army.
The army was fighting in unison, waving their spears to make the wind fly, and their momentum soared into the sky.
An Yan noticed that the foreign envoys were indifferent to this scene. Perhaps they thought it was ridiculous for mortals to show off their force in front of them.
After they left, An Yan saw a sudden roar coming from the sky, and the sound was getting closer and closer.
Looking along the sound, I saw countless black shadows rushing towards this side, with steam gushing out. They were a group of huge armored soldiers over three meters in size, each holding a two- to three-meter-long broad-bladed heavy weapon. Red flames were actually spraying out from behind, allowing them to float in the air.
An Yan had seen this thing in Wentang Pavilion's books on mechanics, but the simple drawings in the book were completely different from the experience of seeing it in person.
Is this a product of current technology?
Also surprised were the monks outside the customs.
"What the hell is this!" Some of the monks couldn't help but mutter.
Tiangongyuan's technology has been innovating and progressing. It looks the same every hundred years, and many things have changed for countless generations.
The ground suddenly began to tremble, and dull thunderous sounds continued to be heard from behind. Everyone followed the sound and then saw a huge black figure standing up from the ground.
This is a giant nearly ten meters tall. It is made of an unknown metal and emits an awe-inspiring cold light. Countless white water vapor surges out every time it moves.
There was more than one giant. Behind him, nine more stood up one after another, standing there like a giant mountain for people to look up to!
An Yanben thought that the Xuanjia Guards might be the top combat force of Xuantang, and they were already powerful enough to suppress the monks.
But there is obviously something more powerful in the Xuantang army.
When facing some more powerful monks who can fly into the sky, escape from the earth, move mountains and reclaim seas at every turn, can these Xuanjia Guards still be able to fight against them?
What was displayed in this martial arts parade was not all and the strongest combat power of Xuantang.
There is still a brass dragon hovering in the sky above Luoyang. The mysterious machine and mysterious armor technology of Xuan Tang Dynasty has been developed for thousands of years. There are more than just mechanical creations like the guardian of the divine city.
Seeing the shocked expressions of the monks outside the customs, An Yan suddenly became more confident in what Master Xuanyi was planning.
Chang'an Heavy Industry, Luoyang Iron Armor.
It is not impossible to open the Three Realms Gate and let those monks in.
An Yan doesn't need to think about long-term things. In the distant future, maybe everything about Xuantang will have nothing to do with him.
As long as what you want to do now can be done.
These things on the school field in front of him, as well as the entire Xuantang, will belong to him in the near future!
