I just reached the maximum level, and you want me to be a puppet emperor?

Chapter 408 Sigh, what's the point? He doesn't care about you at all! (Please subscribe and vote!)

The gates of Qiuyue Manor were already completely surrounded by the leaders of various sects and families from the west, who brought generous gifts.

Even though most of them were prominent figures in the West, they still greeted the gatekeeper of Qiuyue Manor with obsequious smiles and utmost respect.

"Young brother, please inform Patriarch Qiu that Daoist Changhe of the Shangqing Sect requests an audience."

"Young man, please inform Madam Yu that Madam Ying wishes to visit the mansion."

Even though the Qiu family could only be considered a third-rate power before, those at the gate were so-called major powers. Qiuyue Manor used to have few guests, but now that they have established a relationship with Li Chen, they are already beings that the Qiu family can only look up to.

Their purpose in coming here was naturally to establish a connection with Qiuyue Manor. It wasn't that they didn't want to meet Li Chen, but rather that they knew they weren't qualified, so they had to settle for second best.

Hong Qingshu and Xi Yushuang arrived side by side, immediately eliciting a murmur of surprise from the crowd.

After all, such stunning beauties would be the center of attention wherever they go.

In the past, many family heads and sect leaders would make way for the two beauties.

Now let them give up the hook. They came here to establish a relationship with His Majesty, so why would they give up such a great opportunity for two women?

Let alone Hong Qingshu and Xi Yushuang, even the Heavenly King himself would have to wait in line!

Seeing that the road was blocked, Hong Qingshu and Xi Yushuang did not continue to queue there, but turned around and walked out.

Xi Yushuang followed slowly behind Hong Qingshu, raising her eyebrows slightly as she asked, "Your Majesty's status is so noble, will you see us?"

"Do you still remember Yu Jing from back then? She later married Qiu Zuo of the Qiu family, who is now the head of the Qiu family. If she helps, there should be hope of meeting her." Hong Qingshu's willow-leaf eyebrows twitched slightly.

Upon hearing this, Xi Yushuang's eyes immediately lit up with excitement as she said, "Oh, it's Yu Jing's house! What are we waiting for then!"

Back then, Yu Jing was the youngest and weakest, and the two men took good care of her, so their relationship was fairly good.

Right now, it's not just the two of them asking for a favor, but the matter they're asking for is also about Jun Wu Hui. Yu Jing shouldn't refuse, both emotionally and logically.

The two quickly arrived at the back door. After knocking, a servant of the Qiu family opened the door. He was taken aback when he saw the two, but then said respectfully, "If you two fairies wish to see our master, please go to the front door and have someone announce your arrival."

This was the umpteenth person who had tried to use connections; the servants were already used to it.

Hong Qingshu smiled and said, "Your wife is our sworn sister. Go and inform her. I guarantee she won't be angry that you've bothered her; on the contrary, she'll definitely reward you."

"Please wait a moment, fairies, I will go and report to them immediately." Seeing that he spoke with such conviction, the servant hesitated for a moment before bowing and quickly leaving.

Before long, Yu Jing, who had come in person, led the two of them into the reception room.

After instructing a servant to serve tea, Yu Jing looked at the two women who had already taken their seats and said with a smile, "My two sisters have become even more beautiful after all these years. I am truly envious."

"Sister, are you making fun of your two older sisters? You are so elegant and graceful now, much prettier than us old hags who are always running around."

"Yes, my sister's hands are so tender they look like they could be squeezed for water. Unlike me and Yu Shuang, who are busy with sect and family affairs all day long, we look like haggard old women."

The girls laughed and complimented each other, and their relationship, which had become distant after not seeing each other for many years, gradually became closer again.

The women chatted about everyday things for a while, then Xi Yushuang brought up the purpose of their visit: "You know I'm a straightforward person, and the reason I've come is to ask you for a favor." "What is it? Do you two sisters need to come in person? Given our relationship, you only need to ask someone to inform them, and I would never refuse." They were all followers of Jun Wuhui back then, and now that Jun Wuhui was imprisoned, how could Yu Jing not know their intentions?
Seeing that the atmosphere had been set up this way, Hong Qingshu sighed and said, "Sister, you must have heard about the two powerful figures who fought in the Autumn Forest Mountains being imprisoned by His Majesty. To be honest, one of them is Jun Shenzi. Sister, we would like you to arrange for us to meet His Majesty!"

"What?" Upon hearing this, Yu Jing pretended to be shocked and suddenly stood up, then shook her head and sat back down, sighing.

She was there at the time, so how could she not know about it? It's just that they were in different places and didn't meet.

But if you show that you know the answer at this time, your two best friends will think: You know the answer, so why aren't you helping?
"Could it be that my sister is unaware of this matter?" Hong Qingshu raised an eyebrow slightly.

Yu Jing took another deep breath and said, "I'm just a woman, I don't care about these things anymore. You two sisters probably want His Majesty to forgive the Divine Son, right?"

Both Hong Qingshu and the other woman nodded subconsciously upon hearing this.

Yu Jing sighed and said, "Of course I want to help, but whether His Majesty is willing to see my two elder sisters is not something I can decide."

In Yu Jing's view, Li Chen is not someone you can just see whenever you want. With so many people at the door, who wouldn't want to see him?

Hong Qingshu said with a smile, "If you can help me inform him, it will already be a great help to the Divine Prince. He will definitely be grateful to you!"

The reason for mentioning Jun Wu Hui was naturally because Yu Jing's shocked performance made Hong Qing Shu feel that Yu Jing still cared a lot about Jun Zhan Tian.

Yu Jing pretended to hesitate for a moment, then gritted her teeth and said, "Alright! I just don't know how you two sisters plan to persuade His Majesty? Have you prepared any rare and precious treasures that will win His Majesty's heart? Don't let me risk the future of the entire Qiu family for nothing!"

Yu Qian's words made the two women exchange glances, and they immediately realized that they had been making some assumptions before.

Although they have some reputation in the west, they are nothing compared to a Saint Realm expert, let alone Li Chen, the Emperor who rules the entire Tian Ce Empire.

All the resources the two of them possessed combined were less than a fraction of the national treasury. What could possibly tempt Li Chen?
"Don't you two sisters have any preparations?" Yu Jing asked with a strange look.

"Does my sister know His Majesty's preferences?" Xi Yushuang frowned slightly, which was a tacit admission of Yu Jing's words.

This is exactly what Yu Jing has been waiting for!
These two are beauties who could topple kingdoms. If we could present them to His Majesty, wouldn't that be another great achievement?
Perhaps His Majesty, in a moment of goodwill, might casually bestow upon her another magical treasure!

As the saying goes, if you're going to put on an act, you have to go all the way. Yu Jing, who had served Li Chen before, knew better than anyone that it wouldn't work to make this emperor a dead fish; she had to make her two older sisters serve him willingly.

Yu Jing pretended to ponder for a while, and finally leaned close to the two women and whispered, "I've heard some rumors that His Majesty's concubines all come from commoners, and it seems that they have formed good relationships with some women from the common people. After all, His Majesty has three thousand beauties in his harem, so maybe he has a taste for this kind of woman."

"Is this true?"

"It's just a rumor, and even my sister can't guarantee she'll succeed!"

Xi Yushuang and Hong Qingshu are both intelligent people, so they can understand what Yu Jing said. It seems to be the only way to possibly rescue Jun Zhantian.

The two women already considered themselves Jun Wu Hui's women, so how could they accept being asked to give themselves to someone else?

Moreover, for ordinary people, being able to serve the current emperor is already a great honor, so why would they make demands of Li Chen?
The two women didn't dwell on the topic with Yu Jing. Instead, they absentmindedly changed the subject and chatted with Yu Jing for a while before declining her offer to stay and leaving side by side.

Yu Jing looked in the direction the two had left, shook her head helplessly, and said, "Why bother! The Divine Son has no feelings for you at all, and you both know that too."

These words seem to be a condemnation of Xi Yushuang and Hong Qingshu's deep affection, and also seem to be a farewell to one's past self from many years ago.
