Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 151 The Princess Cannot Cultivate!

When an emperor is enraged, thunder roars.

Bai Xiaoxiao lay on the ground trembling, but still managed to explain.

"His Majesty……"

"Shut up!" the Great Zhou Emperor roared.

"How dare you say you'd make Yue Li the Crown Princess? Don't you know her true identity?"

"She was born to carry on the nation's destiny. If she were to become the Crown Princess, wouldn't that pose a threat to me?"

"Bai Xiaoxiao, how dare you try to outsmart me!"

The Great Zhou Emperor reached out and grabbed the other person's neck. In just a moment, Bai Xiaoxiao felt difficulty breathing and her face turned red.

But she did not resist, and accepted the emperor's wrath without question.

Only after the Great Zhou Emperor released his grip did Bai Xiaoxiao collapse to the ground, gasping for breath.

The Great Zhou Emperor, who had just been furious, now had a slight smile on his face.

"The fact that he neither argued nor struggled when facing death has piqued my interest."

"Tell me, what were your original plans?"

Bai Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

The Great Zhou Emperor was eccentric and unpredictable; anyone who thought they could fathom his intentions was courting death.

Yet he felt that everything was under his control.

The more outrageous something is, the more it piques his interest, like watching a clown.

What Bai Xiaoxiao was looking for was this glimmer of hope!

She became even more respectful and humble, saying, "Your Majesty, I have no ulterior motives, but the fact that the Princess is the Crown Princess would be beneficial to Your Majesty."

The Great Zhou Emperor chuckled coldly and said mockingly, "Is that so? Then I'll listen to you."

"Your Majesty, in the past we have been trying to steal the nation's fortune by suppressing the eldest princess, but the results have been minimal."

“The fortune of a blessed land can be exploited through opportunism, but the fate of a nation is related to hundreds of millions of people and carries too much karma. The methods of plundering the fortune of a blessed land are no longer appropriate.”

"The princess was born of the right time. If we give her a status that affects the fate of the nation and then suppress her, it will be easier to steal the nation's destiny from her!"

The Great Zhou Emperor listened quietly without uttering a single word.

After Bai Xiaoxiao finished speaking, he said coldly, "What you said is all an ideal situation."

"Over the years, the people around Yue Li have all been carefully arranged by me, with the intention of suppressing her completely."

"Although this method yields very little in terms of stealing the nation's destiny, it is the safest."

"If Yue Li were to become the Crown Princess, have you ever considered that she might one day be unable to suppress the will of Heaven?"

The Great Zhou Emperor's feelings for Jiang Yueli were complicated.

Whenever the eldest princess came to see him, the Great Zhou Emperor always acted like a kind father.

But as Jiang Yueli turned to leave, the Great Zhou Emperor's gaze lingered on her retreating figure.

There was jealousy, envy, reminiscence, and also a deep-seated hatred!

The Great Zhou Emperor seemed to be looking at others through Jiang Yueli's back.

Faced with the emperor's questioning, Bai Xiaoxiao calmly explained, "Your Majesty, my purpose is to make him unable to suppress it."

Upon hearing this, the Great Zhou Emperor's eyes flickered, and he exuded a dangerous aura.

Inside Hexi Palace, the atmosphere was tense. If Bai Xiaoxiao said the wrong thing in the next second, blood would be spilled on the spot!

"The closer the eldest princess is to the fate of the Great Zhou, the more national fortune she will bear on her shoulders."

"She was born of the right time and is most suitable to be the vessel that carries the destiny of the nation."

The Great Zhou Emperor's voice came from above Bai Xiaoxiao's head: "Aren't you afraid that she, as a vessel, will use the nation's fortune to cultivate?"

"At that time, her cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds, and even I will be no match for her."

Bai Xiaoxiao looked up at the Great Zhou Emperor with a sincere expression.

"Your Majesty has forgotten that the princess's meridians have been destroyed, and she will never have the chance to cultivate again in this lifetime."

"This was done by my own hands, destroying her cultivation as well. Even if the Valley Master of Divine Healer Valley, Wan Fengnian, were to take action, he would not be able to heal this injury."

"His Majesty has tested these things and even invited doctors from the Divine Healer Valley to treat the princess."

"Even if the entire fate of the Great Zhou Dynasty were to revolve around her, what good would it do? In the end, she was nothing more than a vessel."

Bai Xiaoxiao's words brought a smile to the face of the Great Zhou Emperor.

It seems that he was very satisfied with the destruction of Jiang Yueli's meridians, and even after three years, he was still not satisfied.

"This matter has made me look at you in a new light and has also made me trust you. You actually thought of destroying Yue Li's meridians and turning her into a cripple."

"In this way, all her pride will be crushed, and she can only move step by step toward the ending that I have set for her."

Bai Xiaoxiao, however, showed no intention of taking credit. She simply said respectfully, "Your Majesty, now that the Eldest Princess has become the Crown Princess, she possesses a status that can influence the fate of the nation. The nation's fortunes will then flow towards her like a tide."

As Bai Xiaoxiao spoke, she took the antique jade stone off her neck.

The moment the Great Zhou Emperor saw the ancient jade, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression became somewhat intriguing.

"I will place the Heavenly Secret Jade beside her, and then all the national fortune surrounding her will enter the Heavenly Secret Jade."

The Great Zhou Emperor said, "However, your Heavenly Secret Jade is not complete."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao sighed softly, her tone tinged with regret, and said, "This piece of jade is indeed missing a corner, and its whereabouts are unknown."

"If we can obtain the complete one, it will be more beneficial for His Majesty to extract the national fortune from the princess after the Heavenly Jade has collected all the national fortune from her."

The Great Zhou Emperor's gaze remained fixed on Bai Xiaoxiao's face, sweeping from her eyebrows and eyes down to her chin.

Looking at it this way, the sense of oppression is overwhelming.

After a long while, he said, "I have heard that the Heavenly Jade is born from the creation of heaven and earth, and only one piece is produced in a blessed land every few thousand years. It is regarded as a treasure by the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion."

"The Heavenly Mystery Stones produced within blessed lands are merely rough stones, yet they can help cultivators deduce heavenly secrets. Compared to this Heavenly Mystery Jade, they are like fireflies compared to the bright moon!"

As the Great Zhou Emperor spoke, a smile played on his lips as he looked at Bai Xiaoxiao, whose eyes were lowered.

"Therefore, I believe that even an incomplete Heavenly Jade can aid my cultivation. What do you think, Imperial Noble Consort?"

Bai Xiaoxiao immediately said, "Your Majesty is absolutely right! Although the complete Heavenly Jade is more effective, it is not a big deal if a corner is missing."

"Once the Heavenly Jade has collected all the national fortune from the Eldest Princess, no one in the world will be able to compete with His Majesty."

"Your Majesty can then focus on your cultivation. Even if it's a little slower, what does it matter?"

The word "slow" struck a chord with the Great Zhou Emperor.

The path of cultivation defies the heavens, seizing every moment. If one can be fast, who would choose to be slow?

only……

He had witnessed the power of the complete Heavenly Jade.

Unforgettable!

Bai Xiaoxiao's cultivation level was simply insufficient, preventing her from unleashing the full potential of the Heavenly Jade.

But if that missing piece is truly returned to this woman, will there be a day when she is like a caged beast being released?

Bai Xiaoxiao's words, "What does it matter if we go a little slower?" echoed in the mind of the Great Zhou Emperor.

This made him somewhat uneasy!

After a long while, he was startled and his sharp gaze shot towards Bai Xiaoxiao, a thin layer of cold sweat breaking out on his back.

Without warning, a palm strike was unleashed, and Bai Xiaoxiao was instantly thrown to the ground, vomiting a mouthful of blood.

Without the slightest hesitation, she struggled to her feet, and even though her body was already swaying precariously, she knelt upright on the ground.

"Bai Xiaoxiao, how dare you use the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion's gaming techniques on me?"
