Originally, Su Yun and his companions were expecting to meet a living person in the imperial court, and they did not want to see a ghost in the imperial court. Now, they really saw a living person, but they were frightened out of their wits!
Even if you see a ghost, it wouldn’t be this scary!
Yingying lost her voice and asked, "How could there be a living person in the imperial court?"
Su Yun was retreating, while Song Ming and Lang Yun were rushing forward. They didn't bother to stop Shui Yinghui, and hurried to the front of the house. They leaned over to take a look, and their faces changed drastically: "There really is a living person!"
In the courtyard of the mansion, two palace maids were looking over here. One of the women was holding a purple gourd about six or seven inches long. The mouth of the purple gourd was open, collecting the fairy air in the mansion.
When the two palace maids saw Su Yun, Lang Yun and the others, they looked even more surprised than they were. They stared at them blankly with their eyes wide open and their mouths open, at a loss as to what to do.
Song Ming panicked and asked in a lost voice: "Are you humans or ghosts? Are you gods or immortals?"
The two maids came to their senses. One of them pulled out the phoenix hairpin from her hair and used it as a weapon. She said in a vigilant tone, "We are maids serving the Fairy Queen in the back palace. Who are you? How did you get into the back palace?"
"The Queen of the Court?"
Su Yun was stunned when he heard this, and he said in a lost voice: "The most blessed place in the imperial court is in the back court?"
Yingying exclaimed, "The Queen Mother of Heaven? The biological mother of King Dong?"
Song Ming and Lang Yun were also shocked and looked at each other: "Queen of Heaven? Did we encounter a ghost again?"
Lang Yun couldn't help but feel a little excited: "Last time, Emperor Su was taken in because of his good looks. Now his waist is broken, so he can't be taken in anymore, right? Is it my turn now?"
"Are the Queen Mother and these two palace maids alive or dead?" Su Yun was confused.
Judging from the contents of the Houting Notes left by the old God King of the Dong Family, he broke into the Houting and was able to see the Queen Mother, with whom he fell in love, and thus ended up having a relationship, and he spent a thousand years in the Houting.
Later, because he missed home so much, he said goodbye and left. The Queen Mother told him that there is a difference between immortals and mortals, and he will never be able to come back after he left.
The old God King insisted on leaving, and the Queen Mother did not try to keep him and sent him out of the rear court.
When the old God King walked out of the back palace, he discovered that it was filled with desolate tombs and bones. The former prosperity and glamour had disappeared, as if it were a dream.
He thought he and the Queen Mother were married, but a hundred years later, the Queen Mother sent him and her child, Dong Feng, who is now the God King Dong.
Su Yun discussed this with Yingying for a long time.
At that time, Su Yun believed that the Queen Mother was not dead. If she was dead, she would not be able to conceive and give birth to a child without a flesh-born child.
Yingying believed that the Queen must have been an extremely powerful immortal when she was alive, with great spiritual power, so it would be easy for her to give birth to a child. - Su Yun therefore suspected that Yingying had read some strange book again, which was why she had such a strange idea.
Whether the Queen is alive or dead has always been a mystery, but now, we can actually meet the maids around the Queen, and perhaps we can solve this mystery!
Shui Yinghui also heard the voice of the palace maid and stopped in her tracks: "The Queen's Court? The Queen Mother? So we are here!"
Her heart was pounding as she thought of the Immortal Emperor's instructions. She thought, "If I meet the Queen of Heaven, then I won't have to retreat."
The maid who used the hairpin as a weapon was still a little nervous and said, "The rear court is within the imperial court. This is common sense. How come you don't know this? This blessed land is the private property of the queen. Your Majesty promised it! Are you going to take it by force?"
She spoke crisply, as crisp as a cucumber.
Su Yun's heart moved slightly, and he said, "I see. I am the master of Tianshiyuan, and this imperial court also belongs to me now. So I came here to check out my land, but I didn't expect to meet the two girls."
The two maids were surprised and whispered to each other, "This rear court has always been ours. Although the current Immortal Emperor is a rebellious man, his words are as good as gold. He should not break his promise to us. Why did he give our land to others?"
Another maid said, "From what he said, he gave the imperial court to him. Although our rear court is in the imperial court, it should be independent."
The hairpin maid said, "That being said, what if he insists that the imperial court gave it to him? It would be better for Her Majesty to personally inquire about this matter, so as to avoid any more trouble."
After the two men finished discussing, the hairpin maid said, "So you are the master of the imperial court, and we are neighbors of the harem. We dare not neglect our neighbors when they visit us. Please follow me. I think the Queen Mother of Heaven is also happy for her neighbors to visit."
Su Yun followed and walked into the mansion.
Song Ming and Lang Yun followed him in confusion, thinking, "Emperor Su Sheng does not rely on his looks to make a living. He was able to impress these two palace maids and dispel their hostility so quickly."
At this time, Shui Yinghui stepped forward and said, "I am a disciple of His Majesty the Immortal Emperor today. I am here to serve the mortal world on His Majesty's orders. I would like to see the Queen of Heaven."
The two palace maids heard this and discussed among themselves, "He is the Immortal Emperor's disciple. This is also a guest that cannot be refused. What should we do?"
"Leave these troubles to the Queen Mother of Heaven."
The two palace maids had already made up their minds and said, "The Immortal Emperor's messenger, please come with us."
Shui Yinghui followed them into the mansion.
Su Yun looked around and thought that this mansion should be built on the First Blessed Land. The purple gourds in the hands of the two palace maids were used to collect the immortal energy of the First Blessed Land. They were probably collecting the immortal energy and bringing it back for the Queen Mother to practice.
The two maids saw him looking around, and the maid next to him with a red mole on her forehead smiled and said, "This generation of the Imperial Court Master is really handsome. The immortal energy born in this first blessed land comes from this well, and it has a miraculous effect. The Imperial Court Master, please wait for a moment. We will collect the immortal energy and take you to see the Queen Mother of Heaven."
Song Ming and Lang Yun heard this and thought, "Sure enough, Emperor Su still relies on his looks to make a living."
Su Yun looked around and saw a well in the fairy air. There were wisps of purple air coming out of the well. He was surprised and said, "Could it be that the first blessed land in the legend is actually just a well?"
The fairy air here is different from that in other places. The fairy air in other places is accompanied by rosy clouds and glows with various colors, while the fairy air here is purple and there is no fairy light.
The palace maid with the red mole on his forehead saw how handsome he was and felt a desire to get close to him. She smiled and said, "Yes. Don't sit on the hand of the spirit. Stand up and look closer, and you will see the extraordinary features of this first blessed land."
Yingying said, "My scholar's waist is broken, so he can't come near."
After hearing this, the palace maid with the red mole became much colder towards Su Yun.
Su Yun tried hard to get closer and look into the well, but he saw purple air lingering in the well, a strange scene of the creation of the universe, which shocked him!
Another palace maid was putting on her hair and inserting a hairpin. Seeing that Su Yun was disabled from the waist down, she felt pity for him and explained, "Master of the Imperial Court, you don't know that the immortal energy in this well is extraordinary. If you take it, you can live forever, your beauty will never fade, and you will be free from disasters and calamities."
Su Yun was not shocked by seeing the purple air. He was shocked because he had seen this kind of purple air before and that he had this kind of purple air in his body!
The immortal energy that emerged from the first blessed land was exactly the innate Qi that he cultivated through his comprehending of the Purple Mansion!
Moreover, there are many innate Qi in the two purple palaces, all of which are refined by the purple palaces themselves!
I didn’t expect that the so-called first blessed land actually has this kind of purple air, and this kind of purple air can actually resolve the robbery disease!
Yingying also discovered that the immortal energy in the well was somewhat similar to Su Yun's innate energy, and whispered: "Scholar..."
Su Yun shook his head slightly.
Yingying understood and didn't continue.
“It’s a pity that the spiritual energy produced by this well is too little. If there was more, so many people wouldn’t have died in the imperial court.” The palace maid with the red mole shook her head and sighed.
The two of them collected the innate Qi produced in the well and led them to the rear court. The palace maid with the phoenix hairpin said, "Our rear court has not had any contact with the outside world for nearly ten thousand years. You are the first group of outsiders in the past ten thousand years."
Yingying couldn't help but ask, "I'm afraid they're not the first group of people?"
The palace maid with the phoenix hairpin was shocked and confused.
After a while, they walked out of the back door of the mansion and saw green mountains and clear waters. Palaces were hidden between the mountains and waters. Peaks were beautiful above the clouds, and bridges connected the palaces. Fairies flew like butterflies, traveling back and forth between the palaces.
This place is like a paradise on earth. The old God King's notes also recorded the magnificence and beauty of the back court, but the most beautiful thing in the back court is the concubines and palace maids of the Evil Emperor, who are so colorful and beauties that they dazzle the eyes!
Two palace maids, with colorful ribbons fluttering, carried the purple gourd all the way, leading them to the heavenly palace on the highest peak among the mountains.
On the way, many fairies with graceful figures were returning from picking flowers. When they saw them, they stopped to ask questions, especially Su Yun who was sitting in the palm of the spiritual power, who attracted many beautiful eyes.
Su Yun was dazzled by what he saw, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "The Evil Emperor actually married so many fairies... A real man should be like this!"
The fairies and two palace maids called Yingying over, and everyone was whispering to each other, looking secretly at Su Yun.
Only Yingying's voice could be heard coming faintly along with the wind.
"Master Di Ting... got married... but was divorced by the woman... was raped by a ghost fairy on the way... his waist was broken... and it can't be healed..."
Su Yun looked forward to it, and the female fairies in the rear court scattered like birds and beasts, and turned to inquire about the families of Lang Yun, Song Ming and others.
Su Yun met the flying little book monster with a resentful look, while Yingying pretended not to notice and landed on his shoulder.
Su Yun turned his head and continued to look at her, angrily saying: "I got married, but the woman divorced me, and my waist can't be healed... Yingying, I don't think I can expect to remarry in this life!"
Yingying couldn't hold on any longer and had to lower her voice and said, "Scholar, where do you think this place is? This is the Land of Women!"
She was worried: "You almost died because of one Qin Fei! There are probably hundreds or even thousands of people who are as hungry as Qin Fei here! If I relax my mouth a little, you will suck my marrow dry!"
Su Yun hesitated and said, "Look at what you said. I'm not a lustful person. I'm just a widow at the age where I can get married..."
Yingying looked worried and said, "I understand. I'm also helping you find a good one."
After finally reaching the top, a palace maid came over and asked, "Can the Queen of Heaven summon men from outside? If the Queen of Heaven can, then why can't my queen?"
The two maids were ashamed and angry, and shouted, "How dare you! This man is the master of the imperial court, not the man that the Queen Mother of Heaven has chosen! He is here to collect rent!"
The maid was startled. Her beautiful eyes fell on Su Yun's face and her eyes lit up. She said, "The master of the imperial court is here to collect rent? My Tianxiu Palace can't pay the rent. Can I give myself to you?"
Yingying was about to speak, but Su Yun said lazily, "My waist is broken, and I have no strength to do anything."
Yingying praised: "The scholar is finally on the right track!"
The maid was extremely disappointed, her face was cold, she turned away, and sneered: "I haven't seen a man for thousands of years, and all the pigs are handsome men! When you meet a handsome one, you would rather ask for money! Forget it, forget it, let the Queen Mother of Heaven pay the rent!"
The two palace maids breathed a sigh of relief and took them to the Weiyang Palace.
The two maids said, "The Imperial Master and the Imperial Envoy, please wait a moment. I will go and report to the Empress."
Su Yun said: "Thank you."
After a while, a gentle voice came, saying: "No outsider has come into my room for thousands of years. I didn't know that the imperial court has a master."
Su Yun looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a group of palace maids coming with ceremonial guards, some of them holding umbrellas, streamers, flags and other items. Under the umbrellas, there was a beautiful woman, tall and outstanding, elegant and graceful, with a cold look in her eyes, full of supreme majesty.
When the Queen of Heaven saw Su Yun and the others, she sized them up and then smiled. This smile was like ice and snow, which made people feel less stressed and as if they were floating like fairies.
The Queen smiled and said, "I never thought that Master Diting was so young. I heard that Master Diting had a broken waist. Someone, give Master Diting some medicine."
A palace maid came forward, holding a jade plate and red silk in her hand, holding an elixir.
The Queen of Heaven smiled and said, "The elixir here was made by the elixir immortal in the Immortal Court back then. It can stimulate the functions of the flesh and regenerate severed limbs."
Su Yun knew that his skill of fortune-making was not good enough and it would be difficult to heal his waist injury in a short time, so he thanked him and took the elixir. After a while, he felt that the broken bones in his waist were gone and the bones regenerated, which was really amazing!
Seeing this, Yingying sighed secretly and thought to herself, "The scholar's waist was broken, but he could still save his life. Now that his waist is healed, it will never heal again. Soon his vital energy will be exhausted and he will die."
