Ween Zhiyi looked at the three sticks of incense inserted in the censer, his gaze extrely complex: “Within these candles and incense, is mixed ‘Emperor’s Sleep Grass’? It’s said after burning, Emperor’s Sleep Grass is colorless, odorless, shapeless, without substance, undetectable by Five Senses, and unknown to Divine Thought. Even the Eternal Gods, if they sll it, would be bewildered, their Spiritual Sense sinking.

Legend has it that in Ancient Tis, a Heavenly Emperor was plotted against by the Master of Thousands of Deceptions using Emperor’s Sleep Grass, leading to his death and fall. Thus, this grass is nad Emperor’s Sleep. In the Mortal World, Emperor’s Sleep Grass should have vanished, yet I’m unexpectedly fortunate enough to witness it. Zhangsun Ruoli, oh Zhangsun Ruoli, where exactly have I, Ween Zhiyi, wronged you? To make you collude with outsiders to scheming against .”

Her voice held disappointnt, confusion, heartbreak, self-mockery, desolation, and sadness.

Zhangsun Ruoli’s body trembled, her face white as a sheet, fearfully kneeling on the ground: “Mother, why say this? Ruoli does not know whether ‘Emperor’s Sleep Grass’ was mixed into those candles and incense, but those things were not from Ruoli’s hand.”

She burned those three sticks of incense, all taken from the incense table in the Quiet Room.

“You still call mother?”

Ween Zhiyi’s voice was laced with sarcasm: “The sachet you used today is Dragon Blood Fragrance, a scent you’ve never used before. This fragrance is quite intense, able to slightly confuse a person’s Five Senses Spiritual Consciousness. Dragon Blood Fragrance poses no threat to Martial Cultivators, but using it to cover Emperor’s Sleep Grass is ideal.”

Zhangsun Ruoli attempted to explain further, but Ween Zhiyi slightly shook her head: “Why bother explaining? Zhangsun Ruoli, you still dare to act recklessly as you did when you were a child?

Lately, you’ve tead with Right Minister Gui Haoyuan, replacing my City Guards’ one hundred and seventy-four officers to the frontline military, what’s the purpose? On the day of the great ceremony, nearly seventy percent of those ‘Snow Winged Sky Riders’ and ‘Flying Dragon Knights’ accompanying as guards were unfamiliar faces. Your relentless effort to remove my trusted aides, what’s your true intent?

Also, those two Scattering Priests outside the door, are they your people as well? Their aura is so strong it causes to hesitate, afraid to carelessly act. But the most crucial of all—”

Ween Zhiyi paused, turning to look at the always silent Jihai Great Elder: “Due to past experiences, Jihai Great Elder is an extrely cautious person. She rarely leaves the Zhaixin Courtyard, under normal circumstances, no one could silently remove her. Unless there was soone she trusted implicitly to aid in an ambush.”

Just as Ween Zhiyi finished speaking, hexagonal shapes like snowflakes, began to erge layer upon layer in the air, creating a Cold Ice Formation.

The ‘Jihai Great Elder’ upon witnessing this scene, was secretly alard.

This One Sword Overturning City must have noticed sothing amiss upon entering the Zhaixin Courtyard.

This woman chose not to recklessly engage, to avoid implicating the thirty million civilians participating in the ceremony.

Only now did Ween Zhiyi mobilize all Magic Prohibition forces in the city to this place and begin to act.

Zhangsun Ruoli’s pupils slightly contracted.

Once ranked thirty-two on the Heavenly List, she commanded an army of millions, quelling the five countries in He Status.

Zhangsun Ruoli composed herself quickly, coldly bowing deeply, her voice sincere: “Mother, Ruoli has no ill intentions, only wanted you to rest. To grant us a chance to draw a drop of Essence Blood from you, leave a Taiyin Divine Seal, convenient for Yin God Yue Xi to retrieve her Divine Power Origin from you later. Jihai Great Elder is also unhard, she is asleep in my house, and will awaken once the matter concludes.”

She knew her mother Ween Zhiyi had an incredibly sharp and insightful mind.

Since her arrangents had been revealed, further clever words and deceitful lies were useless; it was better to state her purpose outright, hoping for her mother’s understanding.

“Let sleep? Bewitched by Emperor’s Sleep Grass, at your rcy?”

Ween Zhiyi looked at Zhangsun Ruoli with even more disdain in her eyes: “Then what good will this do you? I’m curious, what exactly have these people promised you to make you betray ?”

Her mind then slightly stirred: “Is it for Zhangsun Bingquan?”

“Yes!”

Zhangsun Ruoli felt a pang of remorse, hearing the coldness and disdain in Ween Zhiyi’s voice.

A sharp pain clenched her heart.

Zhangsun Ruoli believes she hasn’t betrayed her mother at all, yet she isn’t understood by her.

She maintains her composure, her voice hoarse: “They promised a ‘Nine Heavens Divine Yin Pill’, enabling Bingquan to awaken Divine Yin Bloodline, swiftly becoming First Grade within a year, gaining eligibility to inherit the Tai Chu Ice Wheel, and the Taiyin Divine Sect pledged to protect my Extre East Ice City for thirty years.

Mother, we signed a Divine Contract with Taiyin Divine Sect, ensuring they won’t harm a single finger of yours beyond a Taiyin Divine Seal.”

Aside from this, there were nine ‘Primordial Withering and Flourishing Pills’ which can extend life by fifty years.

Zhangsun Ruoli didn’t dare ntion these in front of Ween Zhiyi.

She bowed deeply again: “Mother, Ruoli and the Right Minister genuinely have no intent to harm you. All our actions are for our Extre East Ice City’s future, a heartfelt oath to the heavens.

Mother, the current Extre East Ice City seems to be flourishing and glorious, yet it teeters on a precarious edge, its survival hinging entirely on you. Without strength to sustain our house, the future Ice City Lord, if unable to inherit the Tai Chu Ice Wheel, Ice City will surely face annihilation concerns.”
