Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
The sky had already completely darkened.
Crown Princes Palace.
The palace where Xue Qinghe resided.
To prevent her identity from being discovered, everyone else was dismissed, except for the guards who had to stand watch daily and a small number of servants who attended to her daily needs.
After misleading the Old Emperor and finishing the state affairs, Xue Qinghe returned to the Cold Temporary Palace as usual.
Ever since she became the Crown Prince.
Xue Ye began handing over all the daily state affairs that needed handling, under the guise of training her.
Xue Ye himself spent his days in the Imperial Harem flirting with Concubines.
He was truly carefree.
And indeed.
A few days ago, Xue Ye favored thirty-seven Palace Maids in one day.
We don't know how the Old Emperor managed that with his Three-Second Body.
Did he take drugs?
But this was irrelevant to Xue Qinghe; she desperately wished the Old Emperor would die soon.
That way, she could ascend the throne naturally.
Directly speedrunning the undercover mission.
But fate did not comply.
Despite the Old Emperor's antics, he was still alive and well.
There was no choice; she could only continue to lie in wait.
Unlike usual, Xue Qinghe returned to the palace much faster today.
Simply because someone was waiting for her in the temporary palace.
"Who built this broken Imperial Palace? Why is the distance from the Study Palace to the Crown Princes Palace so far?"
Looking at the remaining long distance.
Xue Qinghe, disguised as Qian Renxue, complained.
Fortunately, after walking for more than ten minutes.
She finally returned to the Crown Princes Palace.
"You may all withdraw."
She instructed the accompanying Eunuchs and Palace Maids to leave.
Xue Qinghe pushed open the door and entered the palace.
She arrived at the Study Room.
Confirming that no one was watching, she turned a Mechanism.
The bookshelf, filled with books, slowly rose, revealing an Underground Tunnel.
"He must be getting impatient waiting."
A flash of golden light passed, and she removed her disguise.
She turned back into Qian Renxue.
She immediately walked down the Underground Tunnel in her high heels... Inside the Secret Chamber.
Golden Crown was lying on Qian Renxue's Boudoir Bed, eating fruit and reading a book.
"It's so late, why isn't Little Xue back yet?"
"And this Old Emperor is truly awful, enjoying himself and pushing all the work onto Little Xue."
After only a couple of complaints.
Rapid footsteps sounded from outside the door.
"She's back."
"I'll find a place to hide first, then give her a scare."
Golden Crown felt playful and scanned the room for places to hide.
He finally decided to hide behind the door.
Soon, the Stone Door of the Secret Chamber opened.
Qian Renxue quickly walked in and headed straight for the Bedroom.
"Xiao Mian, huh? Is he not here?"
Seeing no one in the Bedroom, she searched other areas.
But she couldn't find Golden Crown anywhere.
"Strange? Did Xiao Mian not arrive yet?"
"But I clearly heard movement inside?"
Just as Qian Renxue was feeling confused.
Golden Crown had secretly crept up behind her.
He shouted loudly: "Ha!"
"Ah!!!"
Qian Renxue was startled and immediately slapped him upon turning around.
*Slap!*
A crisp sound rang out.
A bright red handprint appeared on Golden Crown's face.
Qian Renxue's hand also felt a dull ache.
"Why did you scare me?"
After a moment.
Golden Crown brought a freshly brewed cup of tea to Qian Renxue's side: "Alright, don't be angry. I just wanted to play a joke, and besides, didn't you hit me too?"
"Hmph!" Qian Renxue turned her head away.
Pay attention!
When facing a Cold War, other men might try various ways to coax their women.
But next, Golden Crown will demonstrate how to turn a Cold War into World War II.
Seeing that Qian Renxue still ignored him, Golden Crown placed the tea on the table.
Then he placed his right hand in front of Qian Renxue's eyes and said, "Fine, it seems I must use my unique method of apology."
Qian Renxue felt confused by Golden Crown's actions.
What kind of novel apology method was this?
Soon, Golden Crown extended his finger, pointing up, down, and to the left.
Out of curiosity, Qian Renxue's head followed his finger's movement.
Just as she was about to turn right.
Golden Crown smirked and extended his left hand.
*Slap!*
"How about that? Are you less angry now?" Golden Crown asked with a mischievous grin.
???
Qian Renxue was completely stunned by the slap.
Her pair of stunning Phoenix Eyes blinked several times.
Her brain raced quickly.
What just happened?
Golden Crown said he would show his unique apology method.
And then I got hit?
And then this guy asked if I was less angry?!
Realizing what happened, Qian Renxue was so furious she reached her boiling point.
"Ah!!!"
"Golden Crown, This Old Lady is going to fight you today!!!"
Qian Renxue summoned her Martial Soul; four Soul Rings, two yellow and two purple, appeared.
Following this.
For a long time.
The two of them showcased various brilliant Spirit Ability displays in the small Secret Chamber.
Of course.
Throughout this process, Golden Crown remained in a Passive Defense State.
He never retaliated.
After venting all the Resentment in her heart, Qian Renxue sat back down on the bed, panting heavily.
As for Golden Crown.
Aside from his severely damaged clothes, he was completely fine.
He changed into a new set of clothes and sat next to Qian Renxue.
But Qian Renxue didn't want to see this Scoundrel of a Man at all and stood up to leave.
Golden Crown pulled her into his arms, held Qian Renxue's tender, smooth Jade Hand, and whispered softly: "Don't be angry. There was a mosquito crawling on your face just now; I was swatting the mosquito."
"Heh heh, do you think I'll believe that?" Qian Renxue looked at Golden Crown with a murderous gaze.
Golden Crown felt weak under her stare and quickly began offering various comforts.
Only after having Qian Renxue sign various Unequal Treaties did he finally quell this storm.
"I almost forgot the important business."
"Quick, look at the Immortal Herb I specially prepared for you."
After Golden Crown finished speaking, his right hand pretended to search in his storage soul tool.
In reality, his consciousness entered the System Space to search.
Soon, he found a flower with golden, feather-like petals inside.
sacred feather sky orchid!
One of the Immortal Grade Medicinal Herbs!
It contains the Light Element and is the Life Herb for the Seraphim Martial Soul.
After consuming it, it can not only strengthen the Seraphim's Light Origin but also evolve its Sacred Aura.
"Huh? Where did my two Nine-Rank Dragon Ganoderma go?"
Golden Crown said, confused.
He had planned to let Qian Renxue consume the ninth grade dragon lignum · fire.
This was because Qian Renxue's Seraphim Martial Soul possessed powerful Fire Attribute Elements in addition to the Light Attribute Element.
The Ultimate Fire element contained within the ninth grade dragon lignum · fire could elevate the Fire Attribute Element in the Seraphim.
But he searched everywhere and couldn't find them.
The ninth grade dragon lignum · fire and the Nine-Rank Dragon Ganoderma of Ice seemed to have mysteriously vanished.
What made him even stranger was that the two dragon eggs stored in the space had inexplicably doubled in size.
But he didn't dwell on it.
Instead, he found another Immortal Herb.
It was precisely the only Divine Grade Medicinal Herb among the Immortal Grade herbs in the original work.
Yearning Heartbroken Red!
After retrieving the Immortal Herb, Golden Crown's consciousness withdrew from the System Space.
And handed the Immortal Herb to Qian Renxue...
