Chapter 1399 The full moon means loss

The saying "everything goes to extremes and then turns back" is most likely referring to Zhou Yiqiao who is now full of high spirits.

After getting Luo Lishang's guarantee to complete the personnel transfer within three days, Zhou Yiqiao thought he had solved Senior Wang's task.

Who would have thought that Ling'er had only been away with Yang Liuyi for less than half an hour when she ran back in a hurry.

"Princess, this is bad. Yang Liuyi was snatched away by the Sixteenth Princess!"

Ling'er rushed into the side hall, panting and looking anxious, interrupting the conversation between Zhou Yiqiao and Luo Lishang.

"what?"

Hearing this, before Luo Lishang could react, Zhou Yiqiao stood up and typed with an excited look on his face.

After he finished speaking, without waiting for Luo Lishang to react, Zhou Yiqiao directly pulled Ling'er and walked out of the side hall.

"Mr. Zhou, wait a minute!"

As Zhou Yiqiao stepped out of the side hall door, Luo Lishang stopped him.

She frowned slightly, looked at Ling'er who looked nervous, and spoke in a cold voice.

"Ling'er, what happened? Tell us exactly what happened."

Ling'er was frightened by Zhou Yiqiao's sudden aura and her face turned pale. After being rescued by Luo Lishang, she gasped and spoke slowly.

"Your Highness, the princess, I followed your instructions and took Yang Liuyi to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to transfer her position. But halfway through the journey, I met the Sixteenth Princess and a group of young ladies from the noble families in Tiansheng City."

"I have always kept in mind the princess's instructions. The moment I saw Princess Sixteen, I took Yang Liuyi on a detour to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"But the Sixteenth Princess was obviously targeting us on purpose. She actually had that group of young ladies from aristocratic families block our way."

At this point, Ling'er was already sobbing uncontrollably and continued speaking with tears in her eyes.

"I don't know where the Sixteenth Princess found out about Yang Liuyi's identity. She said that she had broken through to the middle stage of the Spiritualization several years ago, and her cultivation has been unstable ever since. She urgently needs a spiritual chef who is proficient in spiritual medicine to help her stabilize her cultivation."

"She...she wanted to pay me double the salary right then and there to snatch the person from me. I tried to stop her in every way, but I was no match for them."

"In the end, Yang Liuyi was forcibly taken away by them, and I had no choice but to return quickly to report to Her Royal Highness the Princess."

After Ling'er finished speaking, she was already sobbing and her body was shaking slightly, obviously frightened by the scene.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yiqiao's face turned gloomy and his fists clenched, making a clucking sound.

He always thought of people in the worst possible way, so he naturally concluded at the first moment that the Sixteenth Princess Luo Shanhu must have found out part of Yang Liuyi's identity, or even all of her secrets, from somewhere, and that's why she deliberately came forward to intercept her and wanted to bring Yang Liuyi under her command.

If it was the former, Luo Shanhu most likely just wanted to use Yang Liuyi to intimidate Luo Lishang. Zhou Yiqiao didn't mind spending some favors to get Luo Lishang to help him solve this problem.

But if it's the latter, things will be tricky.

Once Yang Liuyi's identity and secrets fall into Luo Shanhu's hands, it will not only disrupt his original plan, but may also bring unpredictable danger to Yang Liuyi.

"your Highness."

Zhou Yiqiao took a deep breath, tried to calm himself, and turned to Luo Lishang.

"I'm afraid I need your help in this matter. Luo Shanhu attacked openly in broad daylight, which shows that he was well prepared."

"If Yang Liuyi's secret falls into the hands of Luo Shanhu and the Sheng family behind her, the consequences will be disastrous. Not only will my plan be completely disrupted, but Yang Liuyi's safety will also be seriously threatened."

Luo Lishang looked solemn, knowing that Zhou Yiqiao's words were not an exaggeration.

Regardless of whether she had considered today's changes or not, when she agreed to Zhou Yiqiao to bring Yang Liuyi to the Immortal Emperor Palace, she had already participated in Senior Wang's instructions.

If Yang Liuyi encounters an accident in the Immortal Emperor Palace, not only will Zhou Yiqiao be punished by this peerless powerful man, but the relationship between their Daxuantian and the other party will also reach a freezing point.

Whether for Zhou Yiqiao or for Daxuantian, she must take action to solve this problem.

"Don't worry, Mr. Zhou. I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

Luo Lishang spoke in a firm tone, but at the same time tried to comfort Zhou Yiqiao as much as possible.

"But there are many people in the Immortal Emperor Palace. If Master Zhou leaves now, it won't take long for the news to spread to the ears of all the dignitaries in Tiansheng City."

"In my opinion, if Mr. Zhou wants to rescue Yang Liuyi, he must not act rashly."

Zhou Yiqiao knew Luo Lishang's reasoning, but he didn't know Luo Shanhu's character, so he didn't dare to gamble Yang Liuyi's life on an unknown possibility.

"Princess, you are right, but I cannot just sit back and do nothing."

Zhou Yiqiao's brows revealed an unquestionable determination.

"I need to go to the Sixteenth Princess's residence immediately to investigate the situation. At least I need to ensure Yang Liuyi's safety first."

After hearing this, Luo Lishang thought for a moment, then let go of the arm that had been blocking Zhou Yiqiao and said decisively.

"You have no right to go by yourself, so it would be more appropriate for you to go in my name."

"How about this, I'll go with Master Zhou, and take this opportunity to find out what Luo Shanhu wants!"

As they talked, they walked out hand in hand and flew towards the palace where Luo Shanhu lived.

With Luo Lishang's presence, the many guards in the Immortal Emperor Palace did not dare to stop them. The two of them exerted their full strength and had a smooth journey. In a short while, they arrived at Luo Shanhu's Princess Mansion.

Luo Shanhu's princess residence is located in the core area of ​​the Immortal Emperor Palace, right next to the current queen's residence. It can be seen that due to her status as the queen's legitimate daughter, she is extremely favored in the eyes of the Immortal Emperor.

Outside the mansion, there are carved beams and painted buildings, and the golden and magnificent decoration fully demonstrates the royal style, while inside the mansion there are small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and towers, which are very elegant.

Zhou Yiqiao and Luo Lishang stood outside the princess's mansion, their eyes met, and there was a tacit understanding between them that needed no words.

Luo Lishang raised her hand lightly, signaling Zhou Yiqiao to be patient, then stepped forward and spoke to the guard at the gate.

"I am Luo Lishang, and I have come to visit my sixteenth sister. Please inform me."

Upon hearing this, the guards looked stern and saluted hurriedly. One of them quickly ran into the mansion to report.

Soon, a woman in gorgeous palace clothing and wearing pearls and jade on her head, accompanied by a group of young ladies from aristocratic families who were also dressed exquisitely, walked out of the mansion.

Today, Luo Shanhu was dressed extremely gorgeously, completely different from her plain and elegant appearance when Zhou Yiqiao first saw her in the imperial mausoleum. There was an unparalleled arrogance between her brows.

"Hey, isn't this the Second Princess? How come you have time to come and see your sister today?"

There was a hint of sarcasm in Luo Shanhu's tone, as if she didn't take Luo Lishang seriously at all.

Many noble families were present. Luo Lishang did not have the status of Luo Shanhu, so he did not dare to be as arrogant and disregard the royal family's reputation as him.

With a cold face, she stated her purpose straight away.

"Sixteenth sister, I heard that you forcibly took my people away today. Is this true?"

Hearing this, Luo Shanhu curled the corners of her mouth into a sneer and glanced at Zhou Yiqiao provocatively, as if telling him that she already knew Yang Liuyi's secret.

After fully showing off her victory, she pretended to be enlightened and replied.

"Oh? Second Princess is talking about the spiritual chef who is proficient in spiritual medicine? Yes, he was indeed taken away by me."

When Zhou Yiqiao heard this, his eyes flashed and he was about to speak, but was gently stopped by Luo Lishang.

Luo Lishang remained calm and composed, with an unquestionable dignity in his tone.

"Sixteenth sister, you know the rules of the palace. Taking away other people's guests and monks without permission is something that is expressly forbidden by the emperor. By doing this, you are challenging the emperor's majesty."

Luo Shanhu chuckled, seemingly unconcerned about Luo Lishang's threat. She slowly walked in front of the two of them, her eyes full of provocation and complacency.

"Second sister, this hat is too big for me to wear."

"The entire Tiansheng City knows that I am a dull young lady, and my cultivation talent is not even a fraction of that of my second sister. Even though I was lucky enough to break through to the middle stage of the Spiritualization Realm a few years ago, our cultivation has been up and down since then, and has not been stable."

"I invited Yang Liuyi back to the mansion because I had heard of her reputation. So I wanted her to give me some advice so that I could stabilize my realm as soon as possible. How could it be said that I was robbing her?"

"Besides, since she is not a disciple of the Second Imperial Sister, she cannot be considered as her person, right?"

Luo Lishang frowned slightly when he heard this. Although he knew that what Luo Shanhu said were all sophistry, he did not want to get too entangled with the other party in public. Instead, he followed Luo Shanhu's answer and asked questions.

"Since Sixteenth Sister only asked Yang Liuyi to help with some suggestions, there is naturally no reason for me as her elder sister to interfere."

"However, after all, I was the one who took a fancy to Yang Liuyi first, and she is of great use to me. I believe that all the suggestions have been made now. Can Sixteenth Sister return her to me?"

A playful smile appeared on Luo Shanhu's lips, and her eyes moved back and forth between Luo Lishang and Zhou Yiqiao, as if she was enjoying the pleasure of being in control of the situation.

A trace of confusion appeared on her face, but the look of triumph in her eyes did not disappear at all.

"That's going to be difficult."

"The advice given by Yang Liuyi is very different from that of the alchemist in my mansion. The servants in my mansion think that she is trying to murder this princess and are about to interrogate her thoroughly."

Luo Lishang's face darkened. She naturally understood that Luo Shanhu was deliberately looking for trouble, but the reason for murdering the princess was so serious that even if the other party was just talking nonsense, she couldn't take Yang Liuyi away with just a word.

Just when she was at a loss, Zhou Yiqiao, who was watching the current situation coldly, stepped forward.

"What a coincidence! I am also an alchemist and know a thing or two about the way of spiritual medicine. I wonder if Princess Sixteen can repeat the conflicting views of both parties so that I can make up for it?"

Hearing these words, Luo Shanhu's face first showed unexpected surprise, followed by undisguised ridicule.

"As the Taoist companion of the Second Imperial Sister, you, Zhou Yiqiao, must be on her side. How can your words be convincing?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the many young ladies from the aristocratic families behind Luo Shanhu immediately started to talk.
