At the beginning, there was a fake eunuch, holding a dragon whip and torturing the empress until she

"Uh..." Lin Chen was stunned for a moment, then said resolutely, "As long as I can help His Majesty break through to the integration stage, let alone let me die, I will have no complaints if you let me die!"

Yun Qingcang smiled happily when he heard this: "Okay, I feel relieved with your words!"

Then, he turned around and said: "We still have one way to survive, and that is to find the Holy Light Grass!"

"What, can you survive if you find the Holy Light Grass?" Lin Chen said in surprise.

"That's right!" Yun Qingcang nodded.

"How to find it?" Lin Chen asked. This Holy Light Grass was of great importance and he was unwilling to give up.

"Follow me!" Yun Qingcang pointed to the wall next to him, "There are various rune formations on this wall. As long as you find those rune marks, you may be able to open a passage to escape!"

Lin Chen carefully observed the wall and found that there were indeed several special formation patterns.

Yun Qingcang walked to the wall and pressed one of the formation marks. With a bang, the stone platform moved slowly, revealing a dark cave.

Lin Chen and Empress Yunzhi both looked happy and jumped down immediately.

Yun Qingcang jumped down after the two of them. After landing, he looked at Lin Chen and said, "What we have to do now is to first find out what kind of treasure we have."

After that, he took the lead and got into the dark cave.

Lin Chen followed closely with Empress Yunzhi.

This passage was very spacious, a thousand meters wide and a hundred feet high. But the further inside, the more surprised Lin Chen became.

What this cave eventually leads to is a huge palace!

Inside the palace, the furnishings are exquisite, elegant and extremely luxurious. The walls are inlaid with luminous pearls, jade, agate and gemstones...

Lin Chen even smelled a faint fragrance in this palace, which made two words appear in his mind: daughter's fragrance!

He couldn't help but look at Empress Yunzhi. Empress Yunzhi was wearing a long blue and purple dress, with fluttering skirts, skin as good as snow, and a charming face.

Although she is a beauty, Lin Chen still has a sense of astonishment, and can't help but sigh in her heart, she is worthy of being the queen of the Great Xia Empire!

He was about to say something complimentary, but Empress Yunzhi ignored him at all and walked towards the depths of the palace.

Only then did Lin Chen notice that there was no one in the entire palace except Empress Yunzhi and herself.

"Huh? Could it be that there are only two of us left here?" Lin Chen asked doubtfully.

"No, there are people here."

Empress Yunzhi said, "Not only one person, but several of them are the core experts of my Great Xia Empire!"

When she said the last sentence, Empress Yunzhi's tone was cold, as if she was pronouncing someone's death sentence.

Lin Chen was startled and quickly asked Empress Yunzhi: "Your Majesty, what is going on? Where are they?"

"In the secret room on the other side, I just killed all the monsters here with one move. They should all be hiding in the secret room. Go and arrest them all. They are traitors and betrayed me. He also caused his father to be seriously injured and must be severely punished!" Empress Yunzhi said coldly.

"It turned out to be a traitor." Lin Chen nodded and walked towards the secret room on the other side.

Soon, Lin Chen and Empress Yunzhi arrived at the door of the secret room.

"Click, click, click—"

Along with the sound of machinery running, the stone door opened, and Lin Chen and Empress Yunzhi walked inside.

"Haha! Yun Qingcang, I didn't expect that you didn't escape. God help me, your life belongs to me!"

A sinister voice came, which made people feel creepy.

Lin Chen followed the sound and found a tall, tall man with a beard standing in front of a huge stone bed. There were three corpses lying next to him.

"Hmph! You despicable villain, who do you think you are? Are you worthy of being called king? You are just a scum of my Daxia Empire!"

Yun Qingcang shouted coldly and stamped his right foot on the ground. There was a muffled sound and the ground shook. He rushed directly towards the bearded man.

"court death!"

The bearded man sneered and punched to meet the attack!

boom!

After the two fought for a while, the bearded man was kicked away by Yun Qingcang.

Lin Chen witnessed the contest between the two and found that Yun Qingcang's cultivation was much higher than that of the bearded man, so the winner was quickly determined.

"ah!"

The bearded man who fell to the ground screamed, holding his stomach and curling up on the ground.

Yun Qingcang walked up to him, condescendingly, and said jokingly: "Now, I will give you a choice, you can either die or tell me the whereabouts of the Holy Light Grass."

"Don't even think about it! Even if you cripple me, I will never tell you! I want to watch you die in front of me!"

The bearded man had bulging eyes and glared angrily at Yun Qingcang.

He didn't have any fear because Yun Qingcang defeated him, but was full of resentment.

Obviously, he has determined that Yun Qingcang will die here!

"Don't you shed tears without seeing the coffin? If that's the case, then don't blame me for being cruel today!"

Yun Qingcang sneered, stretched out his legs and stepped on the chest of the bearded man, crushing it hard, making a clicking sound. The chest of the bearded man was sunken, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.

boom!

Suddenly, Yun Qingcang slapped the bearded man on the forehead.

Phew!

The bearded man's head exploded and turned into powder, and his body fell limply to the ground.

Yun Qingcang took back his hand, looked at Lin Chen, and said, "Aren't you afraid?"

"What are you afraid of? Your Majesty and I are husband and wife, so what do I have to be afraid of?" Lin Chen shrugged.

Yun Qingcang nodded slightly and praised: "You are indeed very good."

Then, she frowned and said, "Do you know these people are rebellious?"

"Yeah." Lin Chen said.

"So, do you know who sent them to assassinate me?" Yun Qingcang stared at Lin Chen.

Lin Chen shook his head and said: "I don't know who they are, but since they are traitors to your Daxia Empire, I will definitely kill them."

"Why?" Yun Qingcang frowned.

"Because I don't want anyone to threaten the safety of me and my lover." Lin Chen was simple and rude.

Yun Qingcang was stunned when he heard this, then nodded and said: "Indeed, I think so too."

Her face showed joy.

"You...you mean, you are willing to stay with me?" She suddenly raised her head and looked at Lin Chen.

At this time, she was wearing a black and red brocade robe, a golden crown on her head, her appearance was stunning, and she exuded the unique noble aura of the royal family.

Lin Chen glanced at her, his heartbeat quickened, and he nodded: "Yes."

Yun Qingcang was overjoyed when he heard this, with a seductive blush on his cheeks, and said excitedly: "Can you marry me? If you marry me, you can become the prince-consort of the Great Xia Empire. By then, even the princes of the Great Yan Dynasty will The emperor doesn’t dare to touch you!”

Although Yun Qingcang is domineering and not close to women, she is still young after all, and she knows more or less about the affairs between men and women.

At this moment, she was shy, but she was looking forward to Lin Chen agreeing. In that case, she would become the princess of the Great Xia Empire.

The smile on Yun Qingcang's face froze and he looked at Lin Chen in astonishment, "Aren't you from the Great Yan Empire? How could you not want to be the Prince Consort?"

"This..." Lin Chen was stunned.

How could he tell that he was a time traveler? He could only smile bitterly and said: "Maybe I'm different from you. I don't like that kind of restraint. Besides, even if I'm from the Great Yan Empire, it's hard to achieve success. To be a prince-in-law? I also have my own pride.”

Yun Qingcang nodded, "That's right, you're right, you have your own pride."

She took a deep breath and continued: "My father once told me that the luckiest thing in my life was meeting him. I want to ask, if my father were not him, would you still marry him?"

"Uh..." Lin Chen was startled for a moment, then smiled, "Well, I think I might still like His Majesty, right?"

Yun Qingcang's eyes dimmed a bit and he sighed: "Then I understand."

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this? I still don't understand." Lin Chen looked at Yun Qingcang in confusion.

Yun Qingcang shook his head and said: "It's nothing. Don't worry about this matter. In short, I will take care of it."

After saying that, she turned around and left with a vigorous pace that seemed to contain some kind of rules.

When Lin Chen saw this, he couldn't help but exclaimed, "What an amazing movement."

Then, he remembered the Holy Light Grass mentioned by Yun Qingcang just now, and quickly caught up with him and asked, "Holy Light Grass, what does it look like?"

"It usually grows on cliffs, but no one knows where it is. Moreover, even if you find the Holy Light Grass, you won't be able to pick it without anyone to guide you, because it is highly poisonous, even if you are at the ninth level of the Innate Realm. Even God can't bear the erosion of its toxicity, so I have never looked for it and can only take chances. "

Yun Qingcang paused, looked at Lin Chen and said, "As for your wish to save my mother-in-law, it will be very difficult. Unless she wakes up on her own, there is nothing I can do."

Lin Chen couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he heard what she said.

"By the way, Your Majesty, who was that person just now? Is he a disciple of Shengyuan Sect?" Lin Chen said.

"No." Yun Qingcang shook his head, "He is a deacon of Shengyuan Sect."

"Deacon?" Lin Chen frowned.

Lin Chen nodded and asked doubtfully: "Why did they want to assassinate His Majesty?"

Yun Qingcang pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Because, they want to replace me as emperor and become the emperor of the Great Xia Empire, and I am the only heir."

"I see."

Lin Chen suddenly understood. He finally understood why those people assassinated Yun Qingcang and left the note. Their feelings were to force him to submit.

However, he was dismissive.

The Great Yan Empire is what he has been looking for, and now that he has finally found it, no matter how powerful the other party is, he cannot let him give up.

Then, Lin Chen asked: "Your Majesty, is it true that Holy Light Grass can only be used as medicine when it is three hundred years old?"

Yun Qingcang shook his head and said: "It takes five thousand years for Holy Light Grass to be used as medicine. It only takes three hundred years to become very rare. As far as I know, there is only one plant in the entire Southern Xinjiang County."

Hearing this, Lin Chen looked a little ugly and murmured: "In other words, even if I find the Holy Light Grass, I may not be able to save my mother. If I want to save my mother, I must first break through to the innate realm. And , I still don’t have enough pills to help me practice the Dragon Elephant Demon Subduing Technique.”

Dragon Elephant Demon Subduing Technique is a top-level technique. It is naturally not an easy task to break through to the innate realm.

Even with the help of spirit stones, monster blood, etc., I am afraid that I will not be able to break through to the innate realm in less than half a year.

Lin Chen didn't want to waste so long.

"You want to find the Holy Light Grass?"

At this time, Yun Qingcang spoke in a serious tone.

"Not bad!" Lin Chen didn't hide it, he really wanted to collect the Holy Light Grass.

After all, if there was a way to revive his mother, he was willing to take the risk.

"I advise you not to waste your time."

Yun Qingcang shook his head, "Although I don't know who you are, since you are from the Great Yan Dynasty, you should know what kind of existence Shengyuan Sect is! The leader of Shengyuan Sect is a transcendent person at the peak of the innate realm, and only Shengyuan Sect has the Holy Light Grass. They will never allow others to get their hands on the Holy Light Grass!"

"I don't plan to rely on the Holy Light Grass to save people, I just need it to help me practice." Lin Chen smiled.

Yun Qingcang stared at Lin Chen suspiciously: "Practice? Your martial arts and swordsmanship are very good, do you still lack resources for practice?"
