In the mirror held by Little Taotie, the elegance of Jiangnan appeared.
But having relieved herself of the burden of being the mortal emperor, she was also restricted by the heavens, unable to use many spells and magical treasures.
Although this mirror was still usable, the Jiangnan appearing in its reflection was not the place she wanted to see.
She wanted to see that rumored site of the water disaster, to verify if it really occurred, and whether the affected people received what they deserved afterward.
Yet, what appeared in the mirror was just a school, a very old school, with teachers wearing layered skirts edged with lace, full of a retro vibe.
"The mirror... isn’t showing the present, is it?" Little Taotie scratched her head.
Unable to figure it out, she decided not to dwell on it.
Seeing Little Taotie’s carefree deanor, Feng Qi rubbed his forehead helplessly, "I should have been the Emperor, and you, the Empress!"
Little Taotie shook her head, "You suggested it back then too, but I said when drinking black coffee, inevitably I’d go back to the bar, why did all those friends of yours, those self-proclaid brothers, only co to you when you were well?"
Feng Qi turned his attention back to the mirror, as if he hadn’t heard what Little Taotie said.
Seeing his indifferent attitude, Feng Qi beca even more frustrated.
Little Taotie smiled brightly, "My Empress, you must manage the harem well, I’m going out to~~~ play!"
Feng Qi pouted, "I bet you’re going out to have fun!"
Feng Qi responded gloomily, "I know, I’ll handle the gifts, don’t worry."
After those people left, Little Taotie fell into deep thought.
The water disaster case was real, but the people from back then were now either in a daze or had lost their mories.
Was it intentional by soone?
Early the next morning, Little Taotie instructed one of the Hidden Guards, whose build was similar to hers and had a face sowhat like hers but more rugged.
Little Taotie had him disguise himself as her, becoming the emperor on the throne.
Initially, this person was too nervous to assu the throne, but after so threats from Little Taotie, he had no choice but to take the throne.
Once he adapted, Little Taotie finally freed herself and left the Imperial City, heading to Jiangnan.
Along the way, she saw many hungry people. When asked where they were from, each seed tight-lipped, saying only, "If we speak, we’ll be killed, we can’t say."
This phrase seed ingrained in their genes, all disaster victims saying the sa words.
Little Taotie knew there was sothing fishy, commanded arrangents for their care, and continued toward Jiangnan.
She had a premonition that all the issues stemd from Jiangnan, and once in Jiangnan, the problems could be solved.
The Elder Ge and his grandson settled in Jiangnan, and after so searching, finally found a little beggar and asked him why there were no beggars in the city. Initially, the little beggar was afraid to speak, but ultimately did so for money.
But having relieved herself of the burden of being the mortal emperor, she was also restricted by the heavens, unable to use many spells and magical treasures.
