#1992 - This is a misunderstanding

Over the next couple of months, the journey passed through several cities, all of which were at the level of prefectural cities.

Jun Wuxie used the same method as he had in Fengchi Prefectural City against the Wu family and other forces, converting them all.

With this one trip alone, many of the Lanling Royal Mansion's wings were clipped.

However, for the Lanling Royal Mansion, which held immense power in the imperial court, this was far from enough.

Their power was too vast.

During these days, he learned a lot of information from the converted heads of various forces.

Of course, although they had been trusted aides of the Lanling Royal Mansion, they only knew a part of the Lanling Royal Mansion's vast power and how many people in the court were affiliated with it.

They didn't know everything.

Even from the part they knew, it was already shocking.

In the entire Lanling State, the Lanling Dynasty had thirty-six prefectures and hundreds of counties, of which seventy to eighty percent were under the command of the Lanling King.

It could be said that most of the Lanling Dynasty's power was in the hands of the Lanling King.

If the Lanling Emperor hadn't held the two most elite armies of the dynasty and if the Lanling Dynasty's name hadn't been illegitimate, the Lanling King would probably have already usurped the throne.

The Lanling Emperor's situation was more difficult than imagined.

After more than two months.

A magnificent and vast city appeared in sight.

Looking down from the clouds, the city was majestic and endless.

This city was very large, more than ten times the size of a prefectural city.

The city in sight was the state capital of Lanling State, the imperial capital.

The city was filled with buildings, the streets were wide and flat, and people were bustling, with carriages and horses flowing, making it prosperous and lively.

Tall city walls stretched along the edge of the city, surrounding the entire magnificent city.

The city walls were made of bluestone, covered with the mottled marks of time and the knife, axe, and sword marks left by war, recording the years and vicissitudes it had experienced.

Without a doubt, defensive runes were engraved inside the bluestone of the city walls.

It was because of these runes that the city walls could stand for eternity without falling.

Jun Wuxie and Jing Yaci parked the Divine Spirit Boat in the mountains outside the imperial city, put it away, and then changed their appearances.

He shortened his height by two inches, and his facial features became much more ordinary.

Jing Yaci was also the same, concealing her perfectly curved figure, taking off her veil, and making her facial features relatively ordinary, only fair-looking and not too outstanding.

Otherwise, if this couple entered the city, they would inevitably attract the attention of countless people along the way.

The man was handsome and refined, filled with masculine energy, and for women, he was simply walking hormones.

The woman had a fairy-like appearance, a peerless beauty that could intoxicate people at a single glance.

Such appearance, image, and temperament would inevitably bring them all kinds of trouble, making it unfavorable for their actions.

They strolled along the lively and wide streets, looking at the various shops and stores along the way.

Along the way, they obtained a lot of information.

Jun Wuxie frowned slightly.

"The Lanling Royal Mansion almost controls all the resources of the entire city.

Now it seems that the imperial family's situation is worrying.

If these problems cannot be solved, the Lanling imperial family's rule will end in this era."

The more Jun Wuxie understood, the more he realized the seriousness of the matter.

The city's resources such as salt, grain, cloth, silk, herbs, gold, stone, wood, and jade, eighty to ninety percent of them were controlled by the Lanling Royal Mansion.

This was simply covering the sky with one hand.

As long as the Lanling King gave an order, the imperial family would fall into a huge passive situation.

At that time, the two elite armies raised would probably lack even the resources to fight.

Although the Lanling Emperor must have already begun to prepare resources.

But how could the Lanling Royal Mansion let the imperial family have its way, and would definitely obstruct it in various ways.

Raising two elite armies consumed a lot of resources, and the entire military and political expenditure of the Lanling Dynasty had to be drawn from the national treasury.

Judging from the situation of the Lanling Dynasty, the national treasury's income was probably already meager, and most of it went into the Lanling King's pocket.

This meant that the Lanling Dynasty's national treasury was very likely to be in a state of deficit for many years.

"It seems that the Lanling Dynasty has produced an incompetent emperor, but I don't know which generation it was.

Otherwise, holding the imperial power, how could he have watched the Lanling Royal Mansion grow to such a point today."

"Husband, what are you going to do next?"

Jing Yaci asked secretly.

The situation in the imperial city was quite棘手, and it was not easy to help the imperial family solve these problems.

"Let's go to the palace and see the Lanling Emperor first.

The situation in this imperial capital is complicated, and I can't use the Scripture of Salvation at will to solve this matter.

All these industries controlled by the Lanling Emperor have been laid with rune arrays, connected to each other.

If I use the Scripture of Salvation on them, the Lanling Royal Mansion will immediately notice.

This Lanling King is very cautious, and he even has this trick.

He did this probably to prevent the imperial family from secretly dealing with the managers of these industries out of desperation.

Let's find an inn to stay first, Yanyu, you wait for me at the inn, I'll go to the palace first."

Jing Yaci nodded.

Before long, they found a relatively small inn.

Because this place did not belong to the Lanling King's industry.

They asked for a separate small courtyard, and then Jun Wuxie left.

He used the Minor Void Technique, sneaking all the way, and came near the imperial palace.

The imperial palace was majestic and exuded an aura of majesty, looking very imposing.

After successfully entering the imperial palace, through various means, he learned the location where the emperor usually stayed.

At this time, because the sky was near dusk, the emperor was in his bedroom.

At the entrance of the bedroom, there was a woman with delicate features, outstanding appearance, and a face full of heroic spirit, standing with a sword in her arms.

It seemed that she should be the emperor's guard.

Jun Wuxie was a little surprised that the Lanling Emperor actually chose a woman as his personal guard.

However, this woman's cultivation was very high, and she was actually a True God of the Absolute Heaven Realm.

She held the sword in her arms, and although the sword was in its sheath, he could still feel the sharp sword intent hidden inside.

This was a master, definitely stronger than most True Gods of the Absolute Heaven Realm.

Her Divine Forbidden Domain had reached the level of the Eighth Heaven of the Ten Directions Myth.

Such aptitude was definitely outstanding in this world.

Although this world had a large number of descendants of ancient bloodlines, after all, their realms were limited, and most of them could only stay in the True God Realm, and their potential could not be developed more.

Being able to reach the Eighth Heaven of the Ten Directions Myth in the True God Realm was already very rare.

The Lanling Emperor was in the bedroom, but how to see him was a problem.

This bedroom was covered with restrictions, which of course could not trouble him, and could be easily broken.

However, doing so would inevitably be discovered, and fluctuations would be transmitted, making it impossible to sneak in quietly.

He observed from a distance, pondering to himself.

Just then, his divine sense sensed that a eunuch was carrying a large bucket in the distance, filled with steaming water.

That was not ordinary water, it contained some divine essence.

Judging from his clothes, the eunuch had an official position, not an ordinary little eunuch.

Not far away, he met a little eunuch on the way, and a smile suddenly appeared on his solemn face.

He beckoned the little eunuch to come over.

When the little eunuch saw the bucket he was carrying, he trembled, seemingly very afraid, and stepped forward tremblingly.

"This old servant sees that you have been working diligently on weekdays, and today I am willing to give you a chance to send this Divine Spring Water to His Majesty's bedroom.

You must know that not everyone can get close to His Majesty.

You must seize the opportunity to perform well in front of His Majesty, understand?"

"Grandpa..."

The little eunuch showed a smile that was uglier than crying.

"What, are you unwilling to serve His Majesty?"

"No... no no, this little one dares not!"

The little eunuch was so frightened that he knelt on the ground.

"Alright, get up."

The eunuch said in a sharp voice: "Why aren't you going yet?"

Saying that, he put the bucket of water in front of the little eunuch.

"Yes..."

The little eunuch left tremblingly with the water.

The eunuch looked at the little eunuch's back and showed a sneer.

"Serving His Majesty is not an easy task.

His Majesty is moody, and I don't know how many eunuchs have died under his guards' swords over the years.

You can only pray for your own good fortune."

The eunuch muttered to himself, then turned and left.

Jun Wuxie knew that his chance had come.

He used the Eighty-Nine Mysterious Techniques to transform into the appearance of a little eunuch, pretending to meet the eunuch who was carrying the Divine Spring to the Lanling Emperor's bedroom.

The moment the little eunuch saw him, a glint flashed in his eyes.

This person was unfamiliar, and judging from his clothes, he should have just entered the palace, so he should be relatively easy to fool.

He immediately stepped forward, pretending that his stomach hurt and he was uncomfortable, and asked Jun Wuxie to help him send the water to the emperor's bedroom.

He repeated what the little eunuch administrator had said, saying that this was a good opportunity to get close to the emperor and be valued, and if he hadn't been really unwell, it was impossible for him to give the opportunity to others.

Jun Wuxie pretended to be innocent and ignorant of the world, and took the water from his hand.

"Go straight ahead, pass a courtyard, turn a corner, and you will see His Majesty's bedroom.

You must not go wrong."

The little eunuch pointed in the direction, and then left with a sinister smile.

Soon, Jun Wuxie came to the front of the Lanling Emperor's bedroom with the steaming Divine Spring Water.

The female guard glanced at him, a little unfamiliar, but did not say anything, as if she was used to it.

She opened the restriction and opened a gap in the door just enough for a person to pass through, and said: "Go in.

Remember, put the water at the door of the inner room and come out immediately."

Jun Wuxie felt a little strange, making it mysterious, and only opening a gap in the door.

He walked in with the water.

The moment he stepped out, the female guard closed the door from the outside.

A female guard's voice came to his ear, "Remember what I told you."

The imperial palace was very large.

There was an outer chamber and an inner chamber.

The inner chamber was where the Lanning Emperor rested.

Carrying the water, he walked all the way to the inner chamber, but instead of leaving it at the door as the female guard had instructed, he stepped directly inside.

He surveyed the environment of the inner chamber. A dragon bed was particularly spacious, and the bed curtains were actually light pink.

How could it be so effeminate?

Jun Wuxie was a little surprised. What was going on with this Lanning Emperor? Did he have a special fetish?

When he was on the street, he had heard people secretly discussing that the Lanning Emperor was the most handsome man in the dynasty, with a jade-like appearance, so handsome that people dared not look directly at him, even more beautiful than a woman.

Now, looking at the effeminate bedroom of this Lanning Emperor, his sexual orientation was probably problematic.

Could it be that he was a man in a woman's body, treating himself as a woman?

"Impudent! Get out now!"

Not far from the dragon bed was a screen, and a low reprimand came from behind it, accompanied by a faint sound of water.

Clearly, the Lanning Emperor was bathing and discovered that someone had entered and was lingering in the inner chamber of the palace.

"It seems like another bastard sent by Lanning King to inquire about朕's privacy."

The Lanning Emperor's low voice was like a soliloquy.

After saying that, there was no more movement, only a layer of invisible true energy barrier appeared around the screen, with divine principles flowing on it.

The Lanning Emperor did not care about this little eunuch who dared to stay in his palace. Feng Ling, the commander of the Phoenix Guards outside, would naturally kill him.

Jun Wuxie carried the water directly to the screen, easily passed through the screen barrier, and said, "I think Your Majesty must have misunderstood…"

Before he could finish speaking, he had already passed through the screen and arrived in front of the bathtub. The last word was stuck in his throat, and he stared blankly at the scene in the bathtub.

The Lanning Emperor also looked back, their eyes met, and they were equally stunned.

He never expected that a small eunuch could pass through his true energy barrier.

Even if it was someone sent by the Lanning King, with good cultivation, it would be impossible to do so.

Therefore, the Lanning Emperor relaxed and lay half-reclined in the bathtub, soaking in the divine spring water.

After all, he possessed the realm of a true god, Jue Tianwei. Even if a strong person of the same Jue Tianwei level wanted to pass through, they would have to make a big commotion.

Unexpectedly, this little eunuch actually passed through the barrier easily.

"You damned slave, you're still looking! This Emperor will first gouge out your eyes and then kill you!"

The Lanning Emperor's voice was no longer as low as before, but a somewhat angry female voice, and the voice was very beautiful.

"This… this is a misunderstanding…"

Jun Wuxie was speechless for a moment. The Lanning Emperor was actually a woman!

It was outrageous that he walked in directly and saw her bathing.

I have to say, this Lanning Emperor had a perfect figure, really big.
