The disturbance within Qin Mountain, due to the intervention of Xin Lin, quietly subsided.
Under the treatnt of the Corpse Leech King, the birds and beasts of Qin Mountain gradually rid themselves of the Sniffle Leeches.
While patrolling the mountains, Captain Yang and his team discovered that Qin Mountain was slowly recovering its forr vitality.
They lingered for five or six days and, upon confirming there were no more strange illnesses in the mountains, dismantled the checkpoint and returned to the palace to report.
Several people were lost at Huxuan Villa, and Housekeeper Chi was injured during his escape. Knowing he couldn’t handle the Rainbow Dragon Trout beneath the lake alone, he was left with no choice but to temporarily stay in Purple Cloud City.
Within the Imperial Palace, a Hidden Guard was reporting.
"What, you say the people from Huxuan Villa also failed?"
Empress Feng, lying on the noble concubine’s couch, couldn’t help but widen her beautiful eyes upon hearing this and sat up abruptly.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, Huxuan Villa suffered heavy losses, and Housekeeper Chi is still recovering from his injuries."
The Hidden Guard reported truthfully.
After President Mu’s death, the Third Prince also suffered serious injuries at Black Water Lake.
This grudge had always been a hard pill for Empress Feng to swallow.
Housekeeper Chi was able to receive news, naturally also due to Empress Feng’s influence.
"It seems there must be sothing under Black Water Lake. Those Rainbow Dragon Trouts have grown astonishingly in just over a month. If it continues, they will soon beco Level 6 Spiritual Beasts."
Empress Feng paced back and forth in Fuluan Palace.
President Mu’s death at Black Water Lake had seed peculiar to Empress Feng. In hindsight, she realized it was not a coincidence.
"Your Majesty, should I send soone to investigate?"
The Hidden Guard tentatively asked.
"Do you think you are stronger than the people from Huxuan Villa? That Housekeeper Chi himself is a Blood Realm Expert, equivalent to all of you combined. If he was injured, going down there would only spell death for you. Moreover, the area around Qin Mountain just suffered a plague, and the Emperor’s n might still be watching that area. It’s better to be cautious. I have worked painstakingly for nearly twenty years and cannot let it all go to waste."
Empress Feng pondered.
"Then what does Your Majesty suggest?"
The Hidden Guard prompted.
"Wait a little longer. Since Poison Saint’s people haven’t eliminated Chu Beiqing, it’s inevitable they will return. When Poison Saint takes action, the Rainbow Dragon Trouts in Black Water Lake will be dood."
Empress Feng sneered.
No matter how formidable the Rainbow Dragon Trouts were, with Poison Saint’s toxins, it would only be a matter of monts.
This thod of borrowing another’s knife to kill was already second nature to Empress Feng.
"Your Majesty is indeed wise."
The Hidden Guard finished speaking only to hear a palace maid respectfully announce from outside Fuluan Palace.
"Hail to the Emperor, long live His Majesty, long live, long long live."
Empress Feng’s beautiful eyes twitched, and the Hidden Guard quickly vanished.
A mont later, Emperor Longteng entered.
Empress Feng adopted a gentle and caring deanor and approached to help Emperor Longteng with his robes.
Seeing Emperor Longteng looking troubled, Empress Feng softly asked.
"Why is His Majesty troubled? Is it because of the year-end tax levies?"
"The tax levies issue, I have already arranged for. What bothers is not this matter, but sothing else."
Emperor Longteng said, rubbing his brow involuntarily.
"I am willing to relieve His Majesty’s worries."
Empress Feng commanded the eunuchs and palace maids to leave and personally massaged Emperor Longteng’s temples.
Emperor Longteng closed his eyes comfortably, like in a dream, he said.
"The Empress remains as gentle and charming as ever. If only everyone were as considerate as you. Recently, a strange incident occurred in the city: at the Taoyao Pavilion’s Four-star Spiritual Food Restaurant auction, there was an extrely bizarre occurrence where soone impersonated Mu San to deceive the new Spirit Food Association Chairman, Tu Suxia."
