Chapter 182 In the Deep Palace, Behind the Screen

The most common method of communication between the empress and Pei Qingshu is letters.

Therefore, she was very familiar with Pei Qingshu's letter-delivery habits and situation, and also knew that Pei Qingshu had an organization dedicated to delivering letters to herself.

So far, all the letters that have reached Yu Wei's hands have been sent by this organization.

No descendant of the Pei family has ever come to deliver a message, let alone a descendant of the direct lineage.

Could it be possible that something really happened?

"Who is this direct descendant?" the empress asked calmly, her voice still a little lazy and slightly tired.

"He calls himself Pei Yuezhi." Yu Wei answered truthfully. She lived deep in the inner palace and had no idea who Pei Yuezhi was.

"It turns out it's him." The empress seemed even more confused.

She had heard of Pei Yuezhi's name. In the past few months, Linjiang County's Naxian Hall had been in full swing, attracting many martial arts experts to defect to Dao Dazhou.

He can be regarded as one of the more outstanding among the younger generation of Linjiang Pei family.

I specially asked such a direct descendant to deliver the letter...

The empress' eyebrows wrinkled slightly and she said calmly, "Put the letter here and then retreat."

"Yes, I will take my leave." Yu Wei placed the letter on the jade platform and bowed before leaving.

After a while, the empress behind the screen slowly stood up.

She took a deep breath, as if adjusting her body's condition, then walked off the bed, put a red dress on herself, and walked to the jade stand where the letters were placed.

This empress looks to be only in her twenties, with extremely beautiful appearance, every feature is perfect, and her skin is crystal clear, which can be said to be the beauty of the country.

She was wearing a fiery red dress, noble and gorgeous, covering her beautiful body. There was an aura of majesty between her brows that looked down on the world, and she had the attitude of an emperor.

However, it seems to be because he just got up from the bed.

Her waist-length black hair was not tied up, and some black hair was scattered on her temples, adding a bit of lazy charm to her majesty.

This is Empress Zhi Feng, who has supported the entire Zhou Dynasty no longer under the control of the Immortal Sect for seventy-two years.

Li Mingqiong.

"This lame man must have done something. He is planning to write a letter to explain his funeral arrangements." Li Mingqiong murmured and picked up the letter on the jade platform.

But before she could remove the fire paint, her face suddenly changed. All the blood faded, and she became a bit sickly pale. Her whole spirit instantly became depressed.

She stumbled suddenly and almost fell to the ground. She managed to stand still by holding on to the screen next to her.

But her breathing suddenly became rapid, and her high chest kept rising and falling.

After a while, Li Mingqiong returned to his normal state, and some color finally appeared on his extremely pale face.

But she couldn't help but rub her head, trying to relieve the remaining pain.

"I don't know when this old problem will get better." Li Mingqing pressed his temples, looked at the letter from Pei Qingshu, and couldn't help but sigh, "Maybe this is the retribution for us forcing ourselves to break through?

“You used the method of condensing the blood of gods and humans to forcibly break through the realm. Although you gained power that far exceeded that of gods and humans, it also caused your body to age rapidly and your lifespan was greatly reduced.

"I tried to directly condense the Dharma by combining the power in my body with the soul, but I also went astray. The soul became extremely powerful, but the physical body became more and more fragile.

"It would be great if the Immortal Lord was here. I really want to listen to the Immortal Lord's teachings again... I wonder if the Immortal Lord recognizes me as a disciple..."

With this thought in her mind, she opened the letter sent by Pei Qingshu, glanced at it and was stunned.

"If I die, I ask my senior sister to tell the Immortal Lord that after she finds the Immortal Lord, Pei Qingshu has never forgotten the Immortal Lord's great kindness, and has never given up looking for the Immortal Lord. I don't ask for the status of a disciple, but I only ask the Immortal Lord to remember that there was someone in the world. I am such a descendant."

Senior sister...

This damn cripple actually calls me senior sister...

No, this is a farewell letter.

What did he do? !

Li Mingqiong's eyes suddenly widened in shock.

An invisible aura suddenly burst out from her body, and the sky above the Imperial City of the Great Zhou Dynasty dimmed, and cloud waves surged and gathered.

Everyone in the city felt a little inexplicably depressed at this moment.

This is the power at the pinnacle of the third realm of immortality.

Emotional fluctuations are enough to cause major changes in the sky.

Although her state is a bit strange, the strength of her soul is much stronger than her physical body, and she often feels weak physically, but the power she possesses is not weak at all.

Comparable to Buddha.

"Is it related to the previous vision in the direction of Linjiang County?" Li Mingqiong frowned and said in a deep voice, "You are my junior brother, the descendant of the Immortal Lord, and you died so inexplicably?!

"If I really see the Immortal Lord and tell him that I, the senior sister, failed to take care of my junior brother and caused him to lose his life, will the Immortal Lord think that I have nothing to do with it?"

Immediately, she tied her hair and wore a crown, and after dressing appropriately, she looked outside and asked, "Is Yu Wei here?"

"I'm here!" Yu Wei's voice came from outside immediately. She had been standing outside, waiting for Li Mingqiong's instructions.

"Come in." Li Mingqiong said solemnly.

"Yes!" Yu Wei hurriedly opened the door and entered with a respectful salute, "I pay my respects to Your Majesty."

"Take my golden order to find that Pei Yuezhi." Li Mingqiong took out a token from his sleeve and said, "Ask Pei Tianren clearly. If necessary, you can go to Linjiang County in person."

"I accept the order!" Yu Wei respectfully took the golden order with both hands and said solemnly, "I will live up to your majesty's trust!"

"Go." Li Mingqiong waved his hand.

After a while, she was the only one left in the palace, and her crown and red robe were taken off.

Li Mingqiong lay down on the bed behind the screen wearing a light gauze again and yawned involuntarily.

Then he closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Although she is powerful now, she gets tired very easily. On weekdays, as long as she moves a little bit, she has to sleep for two or three hours before she returns to normal.

However, it is different if you use your power against the enemy.

The last time he went to Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace and killed two earthly immortals, his energy was strong for many days and he could work without sleep.

But this situation obviously cannot happen often.

Therefore, most of the time, Li Mingqiong lay on the bed behind the screen, lazy and tired.

…

Since it was not an urgent matter to go to Linjiang County, Cui Heng and his party did not rush on their way very fast.

It is said that it is a journey, but in fact it is more like traveling around the mountains and rivers and observing the conditions of the people along the way.

However, Cui Heng's most important experience was in reading the collection of exploration information sent by Hui Shi and learning about various situations in the Tianxu world from Pei Qingshu.

Therefore, they walked for five days before finally arriving at Linjiang County.

This place is actually several times larger than Guanzhou City.

The number of people is also larger, and the streets are full of various shops, which are very prosperous.

Cui Heng walked on the streets of Linjiang County and saw the smiles on the faces of the people passing by. He could not help but nodded gently and said, "Whether it is a local county or town or this county, you have managed it very well."

"Thank you Master for the compliment. I'm just doing my job." Pei Qingshu said with a smile, "If I can't lead the people to live a good life, what's the difference between my disciple and the previous wealthy families?"

The changes in Linjiang County also started seventy years ago.

Before that, the people here were just the targets of exploitation and oppression by wealthy families, and they might not be able to have a full meal after working hard for a whole year.

But after Pei Qingshu came out, took control of the entire Linjiang Pei family, and freed the Linjiang Pei family from the control of the Immortal Sect, the lives of the people completely changed.

Now more than seventy years later, many of the original people are still alive.

They will tell their children and grandchildren about the situation back then and the tremendous changes over the years.

When Pei Qingshu was walking on the road, he would meet people saluting him almost every few steps he took.

It shows how much the people love him.

Therefore, after a while, Cui Heng and his party arrived at the Pei family's house.

——In order to avoid trouble, Pei Qingshu deliberately manipulated his body to look like he was forty or fifty years old, so that his family would not recognize him after he regained his youth.

"Master, this is the Pei family." Pei Qingshu smiled and was about to introduce the Pei family mansion and the next arrangements to Cui Heng.

At this moment, Pei Yuezhi suddenly appeared and walked out, accompanied by a girl dressed as a man. Both of them looked solemn.

But when they walked to the door, they were stunned when they saw Pei Qingshu and Cui Heng's group next to them.

"Great grandpa!!" Pei Yuezhi exclaimed with great excitement, "You, you are still alive! Bah bah bah! What am I talking about, grandpa, are you okay? Hey, Chen, Mr. Chen, what are you doing? Are you here? Grandpa..."

When he saw so many people following Pei Qingshu, he was immediately confused and a little at a loss.

After all, just now he was still thinking about how to hide the fact that his great-grandfather had passed away. Who would have thought that he would see his great-grandfather back in the blink of an eye.

"Bah!" The corner of Pei Qingshu's mouth twitched, he raised his hand and hit Pei Yue on the back of the head, and scolded with a smile, "Your great-grandfather, I just said that I might not come back, but I didn't say that I will never come back, you little bastard..."

At this time, he suddenly noticed the girl dressed in men's clothing next to him. He frowned and said in a deep voice: "This girl, if I admit it correctly, you should be... the female officer Yu Wei from the palace?"

"My subordinate is Yu Wei." Yu Wei nodded and saluted with a very respectful attitude, "Your Majesty gave me a golden order and asked me to come here to investigate the matter of my senior. Now that I see that my senior is fine, I can return to the capital to resume my life. "

"Are you here to investigate my situation under the emperor's order?" Pei Qingshu's face changed immediately after hearing this, his eyes widened, he looked at Pei Yuezhi, and gritted his teeth and said, "Little bastard, did you send that letter? !”

It’s over!

I called me Senior Sister in the letter...
