"it is good."

Then, with steady steps, he walked up to Lin Xiang, stretched out his palm as if he held endless power.

His palm, like a burning flame, carrying a scorching heat, gently pressed above Lin Xiang's head.

Lin Xiang's eyes widened, his face filled with surprise and gratitude.

He felt a powerful surge of true energy flowing from Li Chengtian's palm, like a clear spring flowing into his body.

This inner force is warm and gentle, yet it contains boundless power.

As internal energy was injected, Lin Xiang's body gradually became lighter, as if he had been given new life.

Li Chengtian continuously channeled his internal energy into Lin Xiang's body, helping him to improve his cultivation level.

First rank, second rank... fifth rank... eighth rank... ninth rank.

Lin Xiang was incredibly excited by each breakthrough, but he also understood that it was all thanks to Li Chengtian's grace.

As Li Chengtian's internal energy gradually weakened, Lin Xiang's cultivation level had steadily remained at the ninth rank.

Li Chengtian slowly withdrew his hand, gave Lin Xiang a deep look, and then said:

"Since you have never practiced martial arts, the current limit of cultivation you can withstand is the upper ninth rank."

If I were to force you to break through to the Grandmaster realm, your body might not be able to withstand such immense pressure, and you might eventually explode and die.

However, don't worry, with your current abilities, you're more than capable of handling most situations.

Lin Xiang was so excited that he trembled all over. He immediately knelt down to express his gratitude, saying with tears of joy:

"Thank you, Your Highness. I am already very grateful for your help."

I feel incredibly energetic right now, as if I've become at least twenty years younger.

Li Chengtian smiled slightly, patted Lin Xiang on the shoulder, and comforted him:

"Haha! This is just the beginning."

Once you've stabilized your rapidly increasing cultivation level, I'll lend you a hand and help you successfully break through to the Grandmaster realm.

I believe you will be even stronger then.

A determined look flashed in Lin Xiang's eyes. He knew that all of this was hard-won and must be cherished.

He secretly resolved to work hard to consolidate his cultivation and live up to Li Chengtian's expectations of him.

At the same time, he was deeply grateful to Li Chengtian for giving him this opportunity and was determined to serve him wholeheartedly.

Before Lin Xiang could reply, Li Chengtian came to Chen Pingping and began to transfer his internal energy to him. He placed his hands on Chen Pingping's crown and a powerful stream of internal energy flowed into Chen Pingping's body.

Chen Pingping felt as if he were in a warm ocean, with all his meridians and acupoints being opened up, and his previously ruined cultivation began to improve rapidly.

Soon, Chen Pingping broke through to the upper level of the ninth rank like a bamboo shoot emerging from the ground, emanating a powerful aura.

Next, Li Chengtian came to Fan Jian and passed on his skills to him in the same way.

Fan Jian also felt that powerful force, and his cultivation level quickly broke through to the upper ninth rank.

Next up were Li Chengze and Li Yunrui. Although their strength was not as great as Chen Pingping and Fan Jian, they also successfully broke through to the upper ninth rank with the help of Li Chengtian.

The four of them were like flower buds watered with nectar, each blossoming with dazzling brilliance.

After all five of them broke through to the ninth rank, they bowed to Li Chengtian again and said:

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness."

Li Chengtian nodded slightly and said:

"This is what you deserve, get up!"

Then, Li Chengtian vanished like a ghost, and when he reappeared, he was already sitting back on the dragon throne.

He continued:

"Prime Minister Lin, Lord Fan, Dean Chen, the overall situation is now settled, but there are still many things to deal with."

Officials, the three of you must go and appease them as soon as possible, and make them understand my stance and determination.

In addition, there are some important official vacancies that need to be filled. You can select suitable candidates from the officials below and recommend them to me.

Of course, if you have other outstanding talents, you can also recommend them to me.

In short, I hope you can restore order to the court as soon as possible and get everything back on track.

"Yes, Your Highness, please rest assured!"

The three answered in unison.

They knew that the task Li Chengtian had given them was extremely important, as it concerned the stability and future development of the imperial court.

Therefore, they must do their utmost to complete these tasks.

After speaking, Li Chengtian narrowed his eyes slightly, then turned to look at Li Chengze and Li Yunrui again, his eyes filled with a hint of authority as he said:

"Third brother, aunt, you two can just keep things as they are for now."

As for trade with the Northern Qi, it can continue.

In addition, I also have my own forces in Northern Qi, and I will arrange for them to contact you later.

From now on, both of you need to fully cooperate with their operations. Understand?

Upon hearing this, Li Chengze and Li Yunrui immediately responded: No problem! I will definitely cooperate fully.

After hearing what the two said, Li Chengtian waved his hand, indicating that they could leave.

Lin Xiang and the other four bowed and then turned to leave the main hall.

Their footsteps gradually faded away, leaving only Li Chengtian, Mingyue Xin, Ye'er, and Li Qian and Li Kun, who were still consolidating their Grandmaster realm, inside the Chaotian Hall.

Kunning Palace.

After learning of the officials' pressure to speak, the Empress felt uneasy, as if a cat's claw was constantly scratching at her heart, making it impossible for her to calm down.

After all, the Crown Prince was her own flesh and blood. If the Crown Prince ultimately failed, she herself would definitely not fare well.

As time ticked by, the Queen grew increasingly anxious and uneasy, as if she were being roasted by a blazing fire, making her restless and unable to sit still.

Just as she was feeling troubled, her trusted maid suddenly rushed into the hall in a panic, urgently calling out:

"My Lady, something terrible has happened!"

The Empress's heart tightened, and she immediately stood up, anxiously asking:

"What happened? Tell me quickly!"

The trusted palace maid's face was ashen, her eyes filled with terror, and she spoke in a trembling voice:

"The King of Qin launched a palace coup! He... he rebelled!"

Upon hearing this news, the Empress's eyes widened, her face filled with astonishment and disbelief, and she cried out in disbelief:

"What?! Li Chengtian has rebelled? Where did he get the audacity? What kind of army does he have?"

The words of the trusted palace maid shocked the Empress. Her eyes widened, her body trembled, and she almost lost her balance.

"The Red Armor Army has sealed off the main hall, so I don't know the specifics, but Commander Yan and Gong Dian have already pledged allegiance to the King of Qin, as has Hong Sixiang."

The trusted palace maid's voice was filled with fear and unease, as if she had just experienced a terrible nightmare.

"How can this be!"

The Queen's face turned ashen; she could not accept this fact.

"Yan Xiaoyi and Gong Dian are both loyal to His Majesty. How could they betray His Majesty?"

And what about Eunuch Hong? Wasn't he always loyal?

"Not only that, I also heard that the Crown Prince was killed by the King of Qin in the Chaotian Palace."

The trusted palace maid continued, her voice growing softer and softer, as if afraid the Empress would blame her.

"what!"

This news came like a thunderbolt, leaving the Empress completely stunned.

"No...impossible, how could Li Chengtian dare to do that?"

"The Crown Prince is the heir apparent!"

The Empress's eyes were filled with shock and anger; she could not understand why Li Chengtian would do such a thing.

"Where is His Majesty? How is His Majesty?"

The Empress suddenly thought of Emperor Qing, and her heart sank as an ominous premonition welled up within her.

"His Majesty was ambushed and seriously injured by Hong Siyang, and then disappeared without a trace."

The answer from her trusted palace maid completely broke the Empress. Her face turned ashen, and she swayed as if she were about to collapse.

"His Majesty was defeated? How is that possible?"

The empress murmured to herself, her eyes vacant and lifeless, as if she had lost her soul.

She couldn't imagine that the once all-powerful and powerful Emperor Qing would be defeated by his own son.

A sense of despair welled up in the Empress's heart. She knew that if Emperor Qing were to be defeated, the entire capital would descend into chaos.
