Myriad God Palace, main hall.
The empress, who had returned, was wearing a bright yellow phoenix robe. She stood in front of the phoenix throne and looked down from above.
Her eyes were filled with disdain, her temperament was arrogant, and her beauty was peerless.
Below the dragon throne, Shangguan Wan 'er prostrated on the ground, trembling with fear.
"Why are there so many rumors about me and Pu Qianye in Chang 'an?”
"Shangguan Wan 'er, zhen needs your explanation!”
The empress felt that the rumors spreading among the people were a sign that Shangguan Wan 'er was not doing things cleanly.
If you don't do things cleanly, you're not capable enough.
She had to reevaluate Shangguan Wan 'er's identity.
"Your Majesty, I have been tight-lipped and have never revealed a single secret…"
Shangguan Wan 'er gritted her teeth.
Facing this result, she was terrified, but she also felt a little wronged.
Previously, when Shangguan Wan 'er wanted to kidnap Pu Qianye into the palace, she had done a good job of keeping it a secret. There were almost no witnesses.
She could not be blamed for the rumors.
"Are you saying that Pu Qianye was the one who spread those rumors?”
The empress narrowed her eyes and asked in a deep voice. The demonic aura that suddenly surged around her betrayed her feelings.
She was very dissatisfied with Shangguan Wan 'er's answer!
The empress needed a credible investigation result and not Shangguan Wan 'er's shirking of responsibility.
One had to know that since this matter was organized by Shangguan Wan 'er, no matter what the reason was, the responsibility could be placed on her head!
There was no point in shirking responsibility.
"Your Majesty…"
"This lowly subject did not mean that!"
Shangguan Wan 'er was still clear-headed. She knew that the empress had been hiding her identity and accompanying Pu Qianye for the past few days. How could she dare to push the blame to Pu Qianye?
Besides, based on Shangguan Wan 'er's understanding of Pu Qianye's character, she believed that Pu Qianye would not do such a thing!
"Then what do you mean?"
"Give me an explanation!"
The empress was running out of patience.
"Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I will definitely investigate this matter and find the mastermind behind the rumors! Arrest him!"
Shangguan Wan 'er finally understood what the empress wanted.
As expected…
Upon hearing Shangguan Wan 'er's words, the empress's expression eased a little."
"Hmph, you can't do anything but spoil things!”
This comment was definitely not pleasant to hear, but Shangguan Wan 'er heaved a sigh of relief.
She knew that since the empress was willing to scold her, it meant that she had passed this hurdle for the time being.
If the empress really wanted to punish her, she wouldn't have said a single word to her.
"Your Majesty is wise, I know my sins!"
Shangguan Wan 'er didn't even dare to raise her head.
At this moment, the empress asked again,
"Did something big happen when Zhen wasn't in the palace these few days?”
Shangguan Wan 'er replied in a deep voice,"
"Your Majesty, the memorials for the past few days have all been placed on the imperial table…"
"I'm too lazy to look!"
The empress waved her hand and said domineeringly,"Pick the important ones…"
Shangguan Wan 'er nodded her head. She knew that the empress was not interested in the ordinary government affairs handled by the civil officials. However, there were some things that the empress was more concerned about.
For example, the story of the Peony Fang Shi Ming Shiyin, who was proficient in divination…
Another example was the visit of the Japanese diplomatic mission…
Another example was the latest battle of the Great Wall Guards…
Shangguan Wan 'er told the empress the news that she had prepared beforehand. As expected, the empress was very interested.
"Is that peony necromancer really good at divination?”
"Does he know how to read fortunes?"
the empress asked subconsciously.
When Shangguan Wan 'er heard this, she was completely stunned.
What the hell, His Majesty actually wanted to ask an alchemist about marriage?
Did His Majesty really fall in love with Pu Qianye and was preparing to have a passionate relationship?
Thinking of this, Shangguan Wan 'er was almost speechless.
Fortunately, Shangguan Wan 'er quickly regained her senses."
"Your Majesty, that Peony Necromancer is proficient in all divination techniques. It shouldn't be difficult for him to calculate marriage!”
"In that case, summon him into the palace!”
"I want to see what divine divination is.”
The empress revealed an eager expression.
"Your humble subject obeys."
Shangguan Wan 'er knew with a glance that the empress was really moved!
At this moment, the empress said indifferently,"
"Since Zhen has returned to the palace, I have to find something to do…"
"I see that the Japanese diplomatic mission doesn't come with good intentions, so arrange for them to meet with me!”
……
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wan 'er only wanted to shout out that His Majesty was wise.
Originally, it wasn't a big deal to stand up the Japanese diplomatic mission.
Most importantly, the empress was currently plagued by scandals. Those rumors even indicated that the empress didn't want to appear in public because she was hurt in love.
Since His Majesty had the intention to refute the rumors, he had to find an opportunity to show himself.
It would be even better if he had the opportunity to display that terrifying demonic power!
Thus, it was a good choice to summon the Japanese diplomatic team as soon as possible.
"Your Majesty, don't worry. This lowly subject will definitely settle this matter!”
Shangguan Wan 'er received the edict and left.
……
The news quickly spread from the Imperial Palace through spies.
In Chang Le Lane, Peony Fang Shi Ming Shiyin looked at the note that the pigeon had brought."
His Majesty is going to summon the Japanese diplomatic mission tomorrow and invite Master Ming to a banquet…
After reading this short line of words, Mingshi Yin laughed.
"As expected!"
"The empress's way of thinking is too simple!”
"Disciple Yi Xing, remember, after we enter the palace, you will become famous in Chang 'an!”
"Young national champion!"
"In the future, your name will be recorded in the annals of the Great Tang!”
