Chapter 401 Return to the Palace

When Li Musheng returned to the inn, he casually tossed the jade pillow to the big black cat that had been eyeing it for a long time, letting it have a go at scratching it.

Upon seeing this scene, Master Qingyu could only sigh deeply before returning to his room.

Grand Palace Mistress Wen Yue, who had followed along, saw that Li Musheng was not paying attention to her for the time being, so she did not dare to continue asking about her sister's whereabouts and had no choice but to ask for a room in the inn as well.

And so the night passed, and the people of Taixuan City spent what seemed like a peaceful night.

The next morning, Li Musheng and the others went downstairs for breakfast as usual.

Last night, Zhao Muning, who had been treating her younger brother's injuries with two elderly women, finally made a rare trip downstairs after seeing that his condition had finally stabilized for the time being.

When she saw that Li Musheng was also there, she immediately went forward to greet him.

After all, they had relied entirely on Li Musheng's protection during this time, and they must always remember his kindness.

However, to Zhao Muning's great surprise, Li Musheng glanced at him, then pointed to Wen Yue, who was alone at another table, and said:

"If you have time today, go back to the Great Xuan Imperial Palace with her. I spoke with that old man in the Great Xuan Imperial Palace last night, and he supports you becoming the Great Xuan Emperor. Go find him."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Muning was stunned for a moment, seemingly not yet understanding the meaning behind Li Musheng's words.

It took her a while to react. Her beautiful eyes slowly widened as she looked at Li Musheng with disbelief and asked:

"Your Highness, are you saying I should become the Emperor of the Great Xuan?"

Shen Anran and Cang Yinyue, who were around Li Musheng, also learned about this matter from Li Musheng.

Everyone stared at Zhao Muning in astonishment. It was the first time a woman had ever become emperor.

They were naturally very curious about what was so special about the first female emperor of the Great Xuan Dynasty.

However, it was clear that even Zhao Muning herself had only just learned of this matter, and her shock was no less than that of everyone else present.

“I asked you about this before, and I am a very trustworthy and honest person. Since I promised to make you the emperor of the Great Xuan, I will not speak carelessly.”

Li Musheng squinted and spoke. Of course, these words were just a persona he created for himself, and a way of showing off.

His main purpose in going to the palace last night was to kill the Emperor of Da Xuan. He happened to run into the patriarch of the Da Xuan Imperial Palace and Zhao Kuang, so he took care of the matter as well.

If he didn't run into her, he would naturally pretend he never said those words, and Zhao Muning probably wouldn't say anything more to him.
Upon hearing Li Musheng's words, Cao Gaoshan and the Grand Palace Master of Yaoyue Palace all showed strange expressions and stared directly at Li Musheng.

The big black cat, in particular, with its bright green eyes darting around, immediately stretched out its paws at Li Musheng in a fawning manner, gesturing wildly.

That was clearly a shameless attempt to ask Li Musheng for the position of emperor.

However, Li Musheng remained calm and composed, reaching out to push the big black cat aside.

As for Zhao Muning's matter, it seemed like a trivial matter. Of course, for Li Musheng, it was indeed not worth mentioning.

Zhao Muning stood there stunned, her eyes fixed on Li Musheng, her expression shifting constantly. She could naturally guess what was going on.

The old man Li Musheng mentioned should be the ancestor of the Great Xuan Imperial Palace. If the other party supports her to sit on the throne of the Great Xuan, then this matter is undoubtedly very likely to succeed.

However, as a princess of the Great Xuan, she had never thought of becoming the emperor of the Great Xuan like the princes.

Upon suddenly learning of this, I was completely unprepared. "There's always a first time for everything. I hope you won't let me down."

Li Musheng seemed to see through Zhao Muning's thoughts, said something, and then waved his hand to let her leave.

Zhao Muning looked at Li Musheng with complicated eyes. She naturally knew that this must have been done by Li Musheng.

Otherwise, she was just an unknown princess, so how could she have caught the eye of the patriarch of the Great Xuan Imperial Palace, let alone been supported by him to become the emperor of Great Xuan?

Zhao Muning remained silent for a moment, then her eyes hardened, and she bowed deeply to Li Musheng, saying:
"Thank you for your high regard, Your Highness. Although I am not sure if I can be a good emperor of the Great Xuan, I will still try my best and live up to Your Highness's expectations."

Li Musheng not only protected her, but also helped her ascend to the throne of the Great Xuan Dynasty. This was something countless people longed for, so she naturally wouldn't refuse, nor would she dare to refuse his offer.

Moreover, if she wanted to avenge her brother, she and her sect alone would absolutely not be able to defeat Zhao Kuang, who was protected by the Great Xuan Imperial Palace.

Only if she becomes the emperor of the Great Xuan Dynasty and seizes the throne from Zhao Kuang will she have a chance to take revenge on Zhao Kuang.

Furthermore, if they could truly seize Zhao Kuang's throne, it would probably be even more painful for him than killing him.

Thinking of this, Zhao Muning composed herself, her expression gradually calming down, and then looked at the Grand Palace Master of Yaoyue Palace.

At this point, Wen Yue naturally understood why Li Musheng had introduced her to Zhao Muning.

Although this sounds incredibly unbelievable, if Zhao Mu Ning becomes the emperor of Da Xuan, then rescuing her sister will be no problem at all.

"I am the Grand Mistress of the Moon Palace, and I greet Your Highness."

Wen Yue didn't hesitate much and spoke to Zhao Mu Ning first.

Having witnessed the terrifying power of Li Musheng, this great demon, she did not doubt his words. After all, with his strength, slaughtering the entire Great Xuan Imperial Palace in one night would be no problem for him.

If the other party wants Zhao Mu Ning to become the Emperor of Da Xuan, although it would be going against the will of the world, it might actually succeed.

She was well aware that Li Musheng had introduced her to Zhao Muning so that she would lend him a hand.

After all, Zhao Mu Ning is just a princess of Da Xuan, with a shallow foundation, and still needs the protection of experts and powerful forces.

At this moment, Zhao Muning also gave Wen Yue a slight bow and said:
"Greetings, Grand Palace Master. Please wait a moment while I return to my room to prepare before returning to the palace with you."

Upon hearing this, Wen Yue nodded slightly, and immediately began to think more highly of the Great Xuan Princess in front of her.

The fact that the other party was able to remain calm and composed after suddenly learning the news, without acting like a timid woman, truly shows that she has the qualities to accomplish great things.

Zhao Muning returned to her room upstairs. Not long after, she came downstairs with the two old women who had been with her. She had changed into a magnificent palace dress, and her whole demeanor had changed drastically.

After bidding farewell to Li Musheng, Zhao Muning then left the inn with the Grand Palace Master of Yaoyue Palace.

Watching the departing figures of the group, Shen Anran and Cang Yinyue, sitting next to Li Musheng, exchanged a glance, both able to see the strange look in each other's eyes.

Immediately, Cang Yinyue's eyes flickered slightly, and she tentatively asked:

"Your Highness, when did you and that princess develop such a close relationship?"
