Marrying a playboy? She turned the tables and used a magical talisman to become famous throughout th

The Emperor, finding her words reasonable, pondered and said...

"The country has been relatively peaceful for the past year or two, and even the Yellow River hasn't been flooding much."

However, it is good that you can see the unusual signs and take precautions in advance; I grant your permission.

"By imperial decree, Princess Anle may freely enter and leave any palace courtyard."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Yin Liuli bowed and then left.

"Your subject takes his leave."

Gu Jinyan quickly followed behind her and asked in a deep voice, "Liuli, there are hundreds, if not thousands, of palaces in the palace. How long would it take to inspect them all one by one?"

Yin Liuli suddenly stopped in her tracks.

"You're right, it's impossible to see everything. But fortunately, it's just observing the atmosphere, so we just need to find a high place to take a look."

Gu Jinyan, where can you stand so high?

"I grew up in the palace, so you've come to the right person."

Gu Jinyan couldn't help but smile, took her hand, and shook his head. "Come on, I'll take you there."

"Um!"

Yin Liuli smiled, a sweet feeling welling up inside her.

Gu Jinyan held her hand and ran, passing through the palace gardens, attracting countless envious glances.

In the palace, everyone follows the rules and regulations, so there's no fear of making any mistakes.

The emperor's grandson and Princess Anle were running hand in hand through the palace.

They never have to care about any rules.

Who wouldn't envy such a perfect couple?

……

"Huff huff..."

Reaching the summit of Tai Sui Mountain, Yin Liuli let out a long sigh of relief and shouted excitedly.

"Gu Jinyan, we can see the entire palace from here! This is wonderful!"

"Um."

A doting smile appeared on Gu Jinyan's handsome face.

I will do everything in my power to give you what you want.

Yin Liuli took a breath and looked down at the entire palace with her clear eyes.

"Ruri, have you found anything?"

After a long silence, Gu Jinyan couldn't help but ask softly.

"Found it, it's there."

Yin Liuli stretched out her slender finger and pointed in the direction of Qianyuan Palace, and slowly said, "Gu Jinyan, do you see? Qianyuan Palace is the place where the royal family's dragon energy gathers, and now it is showing signs of disorder."

The ginkgo tree in the palace exudes a cold, somber atmosphere, concealing a turbulent undercurrent—clearly an omen of impending flood.

Ever since she left Qian Yuan Palace, she had sensed that something was wrong with the big tree.

But at the time, we were busy sending the emperor's spirit back and didn't have time to investigate in detail.

The unusual celestial signs now correspond to her suspicions, and she must eliminate the threat as soon as possible.

"Qianyuan Palace again? Let's go take a look first."

Gu Jinyan took a deep breath, his heart pounding.

Before long, the two were standing in the Qian Yuan Palace, under the ginkgo tree that had been growing for over a hundred years.

Yin Liuli frowned slightly.

She grabbed a handful of soil from under the tree roots, sniffed it lightly, and then handed it to Gu Jinyan.

"Take a look."

Gu Jinyan glanced at it, completely bewildered.

"What's wrong with the soil?"

"The soil is filled with malevolent energy. This tree has absorbed so much of that energy that it can no longer be kept."

Yin Liuli looked up at the large, leafy tree and said softly, "It grows on the dragon vein and originally used wood energy to solidify the water energy in the southeast."

However, that python spirit disrupted the feng shui of this place, causing it to absorb evil energy and become a menace, harming the dragon vein and even bringing floods to the southeast.

Gu Jinyan gasped.

"What should we do then?"

"What else can we do but cut it down?"

Yin Liuli turned to look at him and said bluntly.

"what?"

Gu Jinyan was startled.

He might be able to persuade anything else in the Qian Yuan Palace, but when it came to cutting down this big tree, his heart pounded with apprehension.

Everyone knows that this ginkgo tree represents the Holy Ancestor. Cutting it down would be disrespectful to the Holy Ancestor!

His Majesty has always valued filial piety above all else; how could he possibly agree to that!

This is going to be a bit troublesome!

……

In the Hall of Diligent Governance, the two stood before the Emperor once more.

"Anle, say it again, what are you going to do?"

His Majesty's eyes widened, and he gasped for breath.

"This humble woman wishes to cut down the hundred-year-old ginkgo tree in the Qian Yuan Palace."

Yin Liuli raised an eyebrow and said without any politeness, "Burn it on the spot to destroy its malevolent energy, bury it deep underground, and then we will have peace."

"hiss……"

The Emperor gasped, his broad, square face exuding an imposing aura even without anger.

"I didn't hear wrong, did I? That tree was planted by the Holy Ancestor himself in the year he established the Great Chang Dynasty!"

Do you know how important it is to our Great Chang Dynasty? It is equivalent to the Holy Ancestor, and you actually want to cut it down?

"Anle, you're not joking with me, are you?"

Yin Liuli blinked and nodded without ceremony.

"That tree, it can't be kept anymore."

"No!"

The emperor's expression hardened, and his tone carried a hint of anger.

"That's my lifeblood! You want me to cut it off? That's making me an unfilial descendant! You might as well just kill me!"

Gu Jinyan naturally knew the importance of that tree and hadn't dared to say a word.

Seeing that the emperor's expression was not good, he said cautiously,

"Grandfather, please don't be angry yet. This matter concerns the safety of the people, and Liuli would never lie to you."

"Yan'er, I know she is thinking of the people, but this matter also concerns the Holy Ancestor. If I say no, then no!"

That tree has been there since the founding of the Great Chang Kingdom, as if the Holy Ancestor was there before it!

"As a descendant of Da Chang, for me to kill it is tantamount to personally killing my ancestor. How can this be tolerated?"

The Emperor's face darkened, and he waved his hand, saying...

"Anle, don't you know powerful magic? Why not use some other method? Why did you have to cut down the tree planted by the Holy Ancestor?"

"That tree is indeed powerful. As a feng shui tree, it can suppress the water energy at the dragon's head."

But after the python incident, it has been corrupted by demonic energy. Not only can it not protect the peace and prosperity of the Great Chang Dynasty, but it will also deplete the dragon vein's energy. Why can't it be cut down?

Yin Liuli frowned and argued her case logically.

"That won't do either!"

The Emperor's face darkened. "Anle, there's no room for discussion on this matter. I still have these memorials to attend to. You and Yan'er should return to your residence first."

"But……"

Yin Liuli puffed out her cheeks, as if she wanted to say something.

"Your Highness, this old servant sent someone to Qian Yuan Palace to take a look. That hundred-year-old ginkgo tree is growing incredibly well!"

The eunuch beside the Emperor interrupted Yin Liuli with a smile.

"How can a tree possibly attract floods? You must be mistaken."

"Your Highness, Princess, His Majesty has been troubled by state affairs these past two days. You two should return."

As he spoke, he winked at the two of them.

If it weren't for the audacious Princess Anle, who dared to say such treasonous things in front of the Emperor, would anyone else have tried?

He had already been severely reprimanded by the Emperor and dragged out to be flogged!

As Yin Liuli emerged from the palace, her face was somber.

Gu Jinyan was also unsure of what to do, and said softly,

"Liuli, His Majesty's mind is made up, and we cannot persuade him otherwise."

"I know."

Yin Liuli snorted and raised an eyebrow arrogantly, "Then let him wait until the flood is over before he comes begging to me."
