So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

For Luo Tan, helping to take care of others is not something she is good at.

She is the empress of Yuzhou. In the past, in addition to dealing with the affairs of the Immortal Dynasty, she spent more time practicing and studying the method of alchemy.

Asking her to take care of someone herself, especially a boy... At least to her, Mu Zhian was indeed a boy in terms of longevity.

All in all, taking care of others was not something she was good at.

Only this time, Luo Tan did not refuse directly.

Because she suddenly realized that she couldn't figure out Qingdi's thoughts.

"I know that this may be a bit difficult for Yao Huang, but I have no one I can trust in Dongzhou, so I thought about it carefully. It seems that only Yuzhou can allow my husband to practice with peace of mind for some time."

Yao Meng was holding tea and staring at the calm pool in the distance. There was a cold texture in his voice and the gentle voice unique to the fairy.

"certainly."

Yao Meng paused for a moment, with a faint smile on his pretty face, admiring the layout of the hall, and continued: "If it's not convenient for the Medicine Emperor, I can't force it."

"When the time comes, I'll ask others to help me -"

Before he finished speaking, Luo Tan suddenly said casually: "Qing Emperor and I hit it off immediately. Since we are your husband, it is appropriate for me to help take care of you for a few days. Qing Emperor does not need to be so indifferent."

Yao Meng smiled: "This is really great."

She withdrew her gaze, looked at Mu Zhian with her beautiful eyes, and said in a soft voice: "With the Medicine King taking care of me, my husband should be able to feel at ease when I am not here for a few days, right?"

...I always feel like Yao Meng is acting strangely.

Mu Zhian realized another meaning in Yao Meng's words, and even when he stared into those green eyes, he could see a trace of resentment in the eyes of the Qing Emperor sister.

Obviously, Yao Meng's so-called requesting the Medicine Emperor to take care of him for a few days was a lie, and it was true that he temporarily entrusted his husband to the Medicine Emperor.

As for what will happen during this period...it depends on what Yao Huang thinks about Mu Zhian.

Although Yao Meng has always held the idea that "as long as I don't feel that I am being cheated, then I am cheating on others", but the practice of giving his lover to other women for a few days... ultimately makes Yao Meng felt a little jealous.

That kind of resentful look that seemed like anger and jealousy appeared on such a fairy's charming face. It would be a lie to say that Mu Zhian was not moved.

But now that there were others watching, Mu Zhian had to force himself to look away, and immediately said: "Sister Qingdi can make the decision... In fact, I am also quite interested in alchemy. If I can take this opportunity to learn a little bit, that's fine. good."

This is actually not a lie. Mu Zhian is indeed interested in alchemy. In the past, when he refined the second-grade Xiaohuan Dan, he injected heavenly aura into the elixir so that the female cultivator who took the elixir could refine it. Heavenly Spiritual Energy... But the effect of the elixir on the Return to Void Realm is not that good.

If more heavenly spiritual energy can be injected into the elixir, if this elixir spreads to the outside world, the female cultivators in the Void Return Realm may be able to snatch it up like crazy.

Mu Zhian was still very interested in this alchemy technique, and wanted to learn something from Luo Tan.

Yao Meng smiled brightly, seeming to eclipse the bright scenery around him.

"Then you should practice well here first. I will come here to find you after returning from the Southern Wilderness in a few days."

At the end of the sentence, she turned her gaze to Luo Tan and said with a smile, "My husband will have to trouble the Medicine Emperor in the past few days."

Luo Tan's delicate hands on her knees subconsciously grasped the gorgeous white skirt.

For this Medicine Emperor, even when she first joined the Tao, her Tao heart had never had such ripples as it does today.

When she originally wrote to Mu Zhian, she had thought about what she would do if Emperor Qing and Mu Zhian came to Yuzhou together...

However, he did not expect that Emperor Qing would plan to go to the Southern Wilderness first in order to refine the Void Pill for Jiuding.

Moreover... he also sent his husband to her in person.

Sensing Yao Meng's gentle gaze, Luo Tan also had a faint smile on his face: "It's okay~"

Yao Meng put down the teacup, stood up and walked to Mu Zhian, gently caressed the green lotus ring on his finger with her delicate hand, then raised her beautiful eyes and said with a smile: "I've been away for a few days. You have to practice hard and don’t let me down~"

As soon as her voice fell, she turned into a wisp of green figure, and the next moment, it seemed to be blown away by the wind.

"He actually left..."

Until the woman left, Luo Tan still seemed a little unbelievable and couldn't help but whisper softly.

It was clear that she and Qing Di just met by chance, could the other party trust her so much?

But that's true, she is a powerful person in the Hedao realm, and she has a noble status in Kyushu. No matter who is trying to figure it out, they probably won't think that she will be involved with this big boy.

What's more... he already has a Taoist companion, one of whom is even the Qing Emperor of the Yaochi Holy Land.

If anyone knew about her relationship with Mu Zhian... Once this matter spread, even the reputation of the Medicine King would be damaged.

Luo Tan quickly calmed down his thoughts and turned around with a smile: "Come out with me to relax."

Did it start just after Yao Meng left... Mu Zhian nodded slightly: "Okay!"

…

Luo Tanping dismissed the guards and maids, and walked side by side with Mu Zhian from the back door of the hall to the lakeside.

"I thought you would go to Yuzhou alone, but I didn't expect that it was Emperor Qing who sent you here. She really values ​​you very much."

Luo Tan stepped on snow-white jade boots, and the gorgeous white dress inlaid with gold and silver threads made her temperament more elegant and noble.

Many women look clichéd after wearing gold and silver, but from this quasi-immortal alchemy empress, it does not feel vulgar at all, but adds a bit of nobility.

On her fair jade neck, she wore a necklace carved with rubies, which was completely hidden in her full and upright chest, unfathomable.

"Sister Qingdi really treats me very well. In fact, she planned to go to the South Wilderness this time, but she was worried about leaving me alone in Dongzhou. Later, she learned that His Majesty cherished talents, so she thought of you here." Mu Zhian glanced at Luo Tan and saw that she seemed to have some doubts, so he explained the whole story in detail.

"With Qingdi's connections in Dongzhou, it stands to reason that he should not ask me for such a 'troublesome' thing..." Luo Tan's tone was always elegant, and he admired the scenery by the lake along the way, but he was still a little confused about this matter.

Mu Zhian sighed softly: "Your Majesty, you don't know that although Sister Qingdi has a wide network of contacts in Dongzhou, I didn't have a Taoist partner with her at the beginning... I think you should have heard about it."

Luo Tan nodded slightly: "I heard a little bit about it. She did something wrong in this matter."

Qingdi was not Mu Zhian's first Taoist partner, but she inserted herself in the middle. Luo Tan naturally investigated this matter clearly.

"But there is no so-called fairness in love. Although it is inappropriate, it is also human nature and understandable." Thinking of what he would do to the child next to him, Luo Tan quickly added another sentence.

She slowed down her pace a little, looked at him with a slight smile, moved her rosy little mouth, and said: "Since you are interested in alchemy, then you should get ready today. After the morning court tomorrow, you will wait for me in the bedroom. I will teach you the method of alchemy in person."

Why do you have to go to the bedroom to make alchemy...Mu Zhian nodded slightly, and glanced at the tall empress without leaving a trace.

Different from the women Mu Zhian had known before, this empress seemed to be the epitome of nobility and elegance. Although you knew her status in Yuzhou, you couldn't help but want to tease her and suppress her, and then watch her fall from her high and mighty posture to the mortal world, revealing an embarrassed and shy look.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face?" Luo Tan knew what Mu Zhian was thinking, but he didn't reveal it, but asked deliberately.

Mu Zhian calmly withdrew his gaze and said, "Speaking of which, the Liangyi Sect held an alchemy competition a few days ago. Does your majesty remember it?"

Luo Tan nodded slightly: "I invited you after that time, so I naturally remember this matter."

"I've been thinking recently that although the pills I made contain the spiritual energy of the heavenly court, the spiritual energy of the heavenly court injected into the pills is limited, and the help for the Return to Void Realm is not as great as imagined... But if more spiritual energy of the heavenly court is injected into the pills, the pills will explode."

Mu Zhian paused: "Does your majesty have any way to combine the two?"

"Perfectly integrate the spiritual energy of the heavenly court with the pills, and even let the cultivators in the Return to Void Realm refine the spiritual energy of the heavenly court with this pill and benefit from it..."

Hearing this, Luo Tan's beautiful eyes flickered, and she couldn't help but fall into thought.

This is a field she has never touched before. After all, even if it is the combination of the Tao, it is impossible to touch the heavenly court, let alone the spiritual energy of the heavenly court.

Then, she chuckled: "This is a very interesting question. I will think about it after I go back today and give you an answer in two days."

"Do you still have the second-grade Xiao Huan Dan infused with the spiritual energy of the heavenly court?" Luo Tan asked.

Mu Zhian took out a jade bottle from the ring and handed it to Luo Tan.

Just by sniffing the fragrance from the jade bottle, Luo Tan's expression became a little more intoxicated.

After a while, she slowly opened her beautiful eyes and whispered: "In fact, even if you don't have a natural furnace, I will invite you to Yuzhou for a while."

"Alchemy is different from cultivation. Basic skills are important, but flexible application of alchemy is equally important. It is not necessary to add medicinal materials according to the recipe to make the elixir."

"And your innovation in alchemy in the past is also the reason why I invite you."

Mu Zhian smiled: "It's a pity that I grew up in Dongzhou. If I was born in Yuzhou, I would definitely find ways to serve Your Majesty and work like a cow or a horse."

Luo Tan glanced at him with a smile: "If you are willing, it's not too late now."

The words were sincere, and it was obvious that the empress really threw out an olive branch.

I just don't know whether she wants to use the public car for private purposes more or she really loves talents.

Of course, although she invited him, she didn't think Mu Zhian would agree at the beginning, and it was impossible for the Qing Emperor to agree to let Mu Zhian stay for a long time.

"By the way, when I was in Tianxuan City, I was often taken care of by a guest official in the clan. If it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't be here now. He has only been interested in alchemy in his life. I wonder if Your Majesty would..." Mu Zhian suddenly remembered this.

Luo Tan accepted it casually: "That's fine. I'll write a letter of recommendation and let him go to Zunyun Academy. There are many elders there who are devoted to studying alchemy. I think his alchemy skills will be greatly improved in the future."

Mu Zhian raised his hand and bowed: "Then Mu, on behalf of the elders of the clan, would like to thank Your Majesty first."

Luo Tan looked back casually, looking at the boy with an extremely sincere attitude, she took a half step forward, and said with a smile: "In fact, you are so polite that it makes people feel alienated."

"In the past, you kept staring at my legs in my bedroom, and you were never so restrained as today."

Mu Zhian said reservedly: "In fact, I have always respected Your Majesty in my heart. I couldn't help looking at you in the bedroom at that time. Isn't it just proved that your charm is too great?"

"Flattery." Luo Tan raised her eyebrows and said lightly.

But the corners of her mouth raised a beautiful arc.

It seems that because of the busy Sabbath during this period, Luo Tan felt tired after walking for a while. She stopped at the lakeside, and her beautiful figure was close to the fence that exuded a faint sandalwood scent by the lake. This action also made her heavy chest press on the fence.

Very big... Although not as big as Nai Xi, it may be difficult to grasp with one hand... Mu Zhian glanced at it with his peripheral vision and quickly moved his eyes away.

"Sometimes I also hope to be as free as the Green Emperor, but I can't give up this Immortal Dynasty."

The Alchemy Empress lay on the fence, her long and curvy hair trembled slightly, her eyes seemed to be tired, and it seemed that the noble and elegant eyes of the past had melted.

"After the Hedao realm, although the body will not be tired and the spirit is almost impossible to collapse, the mind will be numb over time, because day after day, it is doing the same thing."

Luo Tan sighed lightly. Although he was a great Hedao and the Emperor of Alchemy, he could refine pills to prolong his life, but repeating the same thing every day was too boring.

Mu Zhian stared at her profile silently. Until then, he felt that the empress seemed to be a little closer to him, with a little more fireworks, as if the jade beauty had come alive.

"For me, the purpose of ascending to the sky is not to be invincible in the world, but to have a goal."

Luo Tan slightly turned his eyes to look at Mu Zhian, and his rosy lips opened slightly: "In fact, I am very relaxed when I am with you. It's just a pity that I met you too late."

Mu Zhian reached out and held her soft little hand at the right time, staring at the beautiful eyes that seemed to be mixed with a little fatigue.

It seemed that she had just taken off the disguise of the empress and showed the posture that a woman should have.

When the two of them looked at each other, Luo Tan's beautiful eyes reflected the boy's face gradually approaching her, until finally, they seemed to be able to feel each other's breath.

For the first time in history, she felt a little shy and subconsciously turned away.

Why wasn't she so shy when she teased me before? Is she as high attack and low defense as Sister Qingdi...Mu Zhian looked at the empress's seemingly shy appearance and seductive red lips. While staring into her eyes, Mu Zhian's lips slowly approached.

But just when he was about to occupy her red lips, he stopped, and when she opened her eyes in confusion, he said "hesitantly": "If your servants see us here, it seems not good..."

The noble and elegant empress couldn't help but give Mu Zhian a contemptuous look.

Getting the advantage and still acting cute...

She took the initiative to step forward and hooked Mu Zhian's neck, and her red lips were about to occupy the boy's lips.

At this time, a faint sound of footsteps came from the distance, accompanied by an anxious voice, which instantly broke the warm atmosphere here.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The maid came trotting with her skirt lifted, and when she saw the scene in front of her, her eyes widened slightly, her mouth opened slightly, and she was a little surprised.

Luo Tan frowned slightly, pushed Mu Zhian away calmly, glanced at the maid, and said calmly: "What's the matter?"

The maid reacted, looked at Mu Zhian curiously, and then said: "The Great Peng Emperor of Yunzhou has just arrived in Yuzhou, and now he is outside the palace to see Your Majesty!"

The Great Peng Emperor...? Is he the princess's fiancé, the Lord of Yunzhou?

Mu Zhian's eyes moved slightly, and he glanced at Luo Tan, saying, "Since your majesty is still busy, I will not disturb you for now."

Luo Tan raised her eyebrows slightly, and seemed to be a little surprised. She nodded gently: "You can go back to Daochu Palace first. I have already arranged an empty room for you and your maid. Your maid should be in Daochu Palace now."

"Do you need a servant to take you there?"

Mu Zhian shook her head and smiled: "No, I still remember that road. Just take it as a way to relax."

Luo Tan nodded slightly. She seemed to know what the maid beside her was thinking, and said lightly: "You didn't see anything today, understand?"

"I understand!" The little maid knelt on the ground and answered hurriedly.

It was not until then that she realized what kind of scene she had just encountered.

This noble Majesty was actually being intimate with the husband of the Green Emperor just now... If this matter were to spread, it would probably cause a huge uproar.

"Let's go." Luo Tan said lightly.

...

Mu Zhian looked at the backs of the two people until they were completely far away, and then he leisurely withdrew his gaze.

He did not go to Daochu Palace, but walked leisurely along the garden, and admired the nearby medicinal herbs that were like blooming flowers.

After all, he was the Dan Emperor. Most of the medicinal herbs planted in Luo Tan's garden were rare, and some of them even had a glow on them, which was particularly sacred.

"Tsk tsk... What a rich sister, I haven't seen so many medicinal herbs in Liangyi Sect. I wonder if I will have the opportunity to collect some and take them back this time, and make medicinal food for Ling'er."

Mu Zhian walked along the garden all the way, with a few sighs in his heart.

If Linglong knew that Mu Zhian had not forgotten him at this moment, he would be moved by Mu Zhian's tenderness.

"This is the first time in so many years that I have seen her care so much about a man, especially a man who is already a Taoist monk."

While relaxing in the garden, Mu Zhian suddenly heard a soft voice that was as gentle as water.

Mu Zhian paused slightly and looked in the direction of the voice.

I saw a slim woman wearing a thin veil sitting under the pavilion in the distance, staring here.

princess……?

Mu Zhian was thinking about this, but he saw that the princess had raised her hand to gesture to the stone chair opposite him. Under the veil, her plump and attractive red lips were slightly opened, and she said with a smile:

"Little friend Mu, can you chat with me?"
