No matter what, Uncle Wang was an elder, and he was also the younger brother of one of Chen Di's parents. He did not point out anything, although leading troops into the palace seemed like he was going to force the palace into submission, but it was just a conjecture with no solid evidence.

In her opinion, this uncle Wang was not a kind person. Although he was usually gentle and amiable, he seemed to like this position a lot, and he also knew about the matter of the imperial concubine Chaoyu. He was the one who spread the rumours about the market a few days ago, and it was no more than to force her to ascend to the throne.

Yun Duan could see through it, but she didn't have any solid evidence, so she couldn't keep him locked up like this forever.

Helpless, he could only release it.

After dealing with this matter, Yun Duan's gaze swept across the hall. She pursed her lips and said in a cold voice, "Didn't I say that I would listen to you guys one by one yesterday? Who will be the one to start first?"

Finally, his gaze landed on one of the courtiers, "You go first!"

The court official trembled as he knelt on the ground, lowering his head. "This official should not have lost track of the rumors and forced His Majesty and the late emperor to test their blood. This official deserves to die!"

"Your Majesty … "This official deserves to die …"

Before Yun Duan could say anything, everyone in the main hall suddenly kneeled down and muttered something to themselves. They all thought that they deserved to die.

Yun Duan really didn't know whether to laugh or cry. These people were really funny. They were very united when forcing her, and also when admitting their wrongs. They felt that if they were going to die, they would all die together and she wouldn't have the guts to kill them all.

Forget it, she could not find any fault with this matter. All of the ministers were extremely intelligent. Regardless of whether they were involved or not, they had all taken care of her.

However, if they were allowed to be proud for a few days, there would definitely be someone who would act first. At that time, she wouldn't be so easy to talk to.

He waved his hand and sneered: "If only you guys had come together like this in other things!"

They all wanted to make things difficult for her, but she had no real power.

The snow outside had stopped and the sky was still overcast. When they arrived at Xingyun Pavilion, they changed their clothes. When they came out, they saw Xuan Hong sitting at the table. She smiled and said, "Are you here for food?"

Xuan Hong turned to look at her with a hint of anger in his eyes.

"…"

Yun Duan was already deep in thought. It's not like she had angered him. What was he trying to do with his current appearance?

"You left the palace yesterday afternoon?"

Yun Duan nodded, "Yes!"

"With whom?"

Since they already knew she was out of the palace, did they not know who she was with?

He walked towards the table and sat down. Then, he took a glance at Xuan Hong and said, "Mist emperor!"

Xuan Su narrowed his eyes. "Are you familiar with him?"

Yun Duan thought about it for a moment. She wasn't familiar with him for two months, but it didn't seem like she was that familiar.

"Not familiar, right?" Xuan Hong answered for her coldly.

"Since you aren't familiar with him, how dare you follow him without a single follower?! Are you crazy?!"

"…"

After being scolded, Yun Duan blinked her eyes. She discovered that this person not only had a bad temper but also had no rules. Not only was he not bowing to her, but he had even confidently and confidently thrown his face at her.

However, he also cared about her, so she didn't mind. She was a magnanimous person.

"She's my husband now, someone who needs help!"

Xuan Hong frowned, "Are you sure he will help you?"

"…"

Yun Duan puffed out her eyes, "I went to beg him for two months. Since he's come to the Thousand Empire Mountain, doesn't that mean he's agreed to it?!"

"Why did he help you?"

Yun Duan didn't know about this either. It wasn't that she hadn't thought about it, she just hadn't thought about it.

"You don't know?" This kind of understanding made Xuan Su explode.

"You dare to believe him even if you don't know? What the hell is in your head? What if something happens? "

"…"

Yun Duan held her head up high. "Although I don't know why he wants to help me, do you think that I have anything that she wants? Apart from this world, do you think he wants it? If you had wanted it long ago, you wouldn't have waited till now! "

Xuan Su glanced at the clouds and asked, "What if he wants you?"

"…"

Yun Duan did not understand.

Xuan Hong was furious, and when he thought of this possibility, he got even angrier.

"If he wants you in exchange for the peace of this world, will you agree?"

Yun Duan was stunned. Is that possible? How could someone so aloof and indifferent fall for her?

She shook her head, "Xuanhong, although I feel good about myself and you may think I'm not bad, but that doesn't mean that the Misty King thinks I'm bad too. It would be weird if he would fall for me!"

It wasn't that she was looking down on herself, but that that person was simply too floating. She felt that she wasn't worthy of him.

Xuan Su swept his eyes up and down the clouds. "What did you do to him?"

He really hoped that the Misty Monarch wouldn't care about the clouds. This woman was his, she could only be his. If anyone wanted to take her, he would fight them to the death.

But what if Yun Duan had taken a fancy to the Misty Monarch?

Yun Duan blinked and thought for a while before saying, "I don't know anything about him. After all, he is good-looking and resourceful. It is not impossible for me to fall for such an outstanding man!"

"No way!" "You can only like me!"

"…"

Yun Duan didn't really want to talk to him anymore, so she decided to wait until she liked the Misty Monarch, but she liked that one.

After all, he couldn't possibly have been interested in her.

Qin Ni and Qiongying looked at each other. They didn't know how to make this young master unhappy.

Yun Duan drank her tea expressionlessly as she looked at the imperial report. Hmph, they said they had caught the gossiper in the market, and they even said he was not willing to be taken captive and committed suicide on the spot.

What a good scapegoat, lying so well.

She had committed suicide, and there was no place for her to find it.

However, it didn't matter. She would wait for the day they revealed themselves. It was time for all the useless subjects in the Myriad Empire Palace to be cleared up.

However, since Emperor Chen had the actual power, he should first ask the Misty Monarch about it. In any case, he was her husband now, so there was no reason for him to ask.

At noon, Yun Duan woke up and Qin Ni came in to wait for him, saying that she was invited to see him by the only son.

Yun Duan's eyebrows twitched. This brother of hers had treated her quite well. At the very least, he hadn't given her any trouble behind her back.

"Why are you free today?"

Qin Ni and Qiong Ying stood to the side after Qin Ni served tea.

"Didn't His Majesty ask us to check the pattern earlier? We already have some clues!"

"Oh? What is that clue? "

"This pattern comes from an evil tribe in the desolate mountain!"

A barren mountain? Evil Tribe?

Yun Duan narrowed her eyes. She had never heard of any evil tribe in her 300 years in the Desolate Mountain. All she knew was that there were many corpses and many ghosts. That was the den of evil, but she was sure she had never heard of this evil tribe.

"So how's it going?"

"Not long after His Majesty returned from his travels, a large area of the barren mountain was suddenly annihilated. Many of the evil spirits had been wiped out, and all the animals on the mountain had died out as well!"

"…"

Yun Duan slightly tightened her fingers. It seemed that Emperor Chen was really ruthless. This was probably just a warning to her. If she failed to be an emperor, it was impossible for her to return to the desolate mountain.

"If you say it like that, then isn't the clue cut off?"

Only Changfeng sighed, "Yes, it ended here. However, we are still looking for clues. There might be other evil things in the mountains, but they haven't come out yet."

Yun Duan frowned. He was afraid that it would be impossible. If Emperor Chen were to make a move, he would definitely cut off all roots and leave no traces behind.

Or was the assassin sent by him?

After thinking about it, he felt that it was impossible. If he wanted to kill her, why would he need to go through so much trouble to do so?

So secretive that even she, who had stayed for more than three hundred years, did not know.

Only Changfeng looked at Yun Duan and asked after some thought, "Is it possible that he is a masked man?"

A masked man?

Yun Duan was stunned as a chill ran down her spine. Yes, masked man, she had seen him back in the Desolate Mountain. His cultivation was so high, and he seemed to be interacting with the outside world often.

Then, does he lead that evil tribe?

"It's possible, but there's no conclusive evidence!" Yun Duan said as he took a sip of the tea.

"That masked man's skill has reached perfection. I'm afraid there aren't many people in this world that can stop him!"

Yun Duan narrowed her eyes and thought for a while before asking, "How is the Misty Monarch?"

Only Changfeng was stunned. When he came back to his senses, his eyes suddenly lit up. "What does Your Majesty mean?"

Yun Duan chuckled, "You still don't know? The Misty King has come to the Thousand Empire Mountain, and he has promised to help me! "

"Really?" Only Changfeng was obviously shocked.

Yun Duan nodded. "It's true!"

"That's great, if we can get the help of the Misty King, his majesty won't be able to sit tight anymore!"

Yun Duan laughed. That's right, everyone thought so highly of the Misty King, so they all hoped that he wouldn't disappoint them.

As the sun set, snow began to fall from the sky. It wasn't very big. The clouds changed their clothes and took Qiongying and her clothes out of the palace.

Inside the carriage, Qiong Ying glanced at the calm and serene clouds. Her big eyes rolled around a few times as she asked, "Master, where are we going?"

Yun Duan smiled, "Look at the beauties!"

Beautiful?

Isn't there a lot of them in the palace? Is there anything more beautiful in the world than the palace?

Qiong Ying was puzzled, but when she saw the owner of the carriage closing her eyes, she did not ask any more questions. As the owner of the carriage was driving the carriage, she took one look at the clouds, then at the scenery outside.
