Dual Transmigration: Starting from being captured and brought to the Hehuan Sect!

Lin Mo stopped outside the palace gate, took a deep breath, and used his transformation power to confirm that Su Meiniang's appearance was flawless before stepping onto the white jade steps.

The hall is extremely spacious, with a high dome and rows of warm-colored lamp stones embedded in the four walls, illuminating the entire hall as if it were daytime.

In the center of the hall was a huge imperial desk, behind which sat a person.

Empress.

She wore a dark black phoenix robe, with golden phoenix patterns embroidered on the hem, extending from her waist to the hem of her skirt, each feather meticulously embroidered.

Her long hair was tied up with a gold crown inlaid with pearls, which gleamed with a warm luster under the light.

Her face was extremely dignified, with exquisite and imposing features. Her eyebrows resembled distant mountains, her eyes were like deep pools, her nose was straight and elegant, and her lips were full and red.

Her skin was fair and delicate, gleaming with a soft glow under the light.

Her figure was plump yet well-proportioned, and the waist-cinching design of the phoenix robe clearly outlined the proportions of her waist and hips. When she sat there, she exuded an air of elegance and majesty as someone who had long held a high position.

Her aura was extremely restrained.

Lin Mo stood in the hall, unable to sense anything.

She sat there, just like an ordinary person, a mortal woman without any spiritual cultivation.

But Lin Mo knew it was an illusion.

A deity capable of setting up an unparalleled Heavenly Connection Array to isolate ferocious beasts must possess terrifying strength.

Her ability to conceal her aura had reached a level of simplicity and naturalness that even he couldn't fathom.

"Meiniang, you're back."

The Empress spoke, her voice not loud, but every word clearly resonated in every corner of the hall.

The voice carried a calm and confident authority, as if each word had been polished a thousand times, falling with just the right amount of force.

"Your Majesty, I have returned."

Lin Mo bowed his head in greeting.

"Tell me about the border situation."

Lin Mo presented the report box and then, following his prepared explanation, reported on the border battle situation, the unusual movements of the ferocious beasts, and the performance of various sects one by one.

He deliberately portrayed Lin Mo as a cultivator of unknown origin but with outstanding abilities, possessing the cultivation level of a peak God King, capable of controlling ferocious beasts, and brave in battle.

Only at the very end did they reveal that Lin Mo had suddenly disappeared.

"Missing?"

The Empress tapped her finger lightly on the imperial desk.

"Yes. Your Majesty, I gave General Jiang three days to search, but we found nothing."

Lin Mo, Miao Zhen, the head of Huanxi Temple, and the controlled ferocious beast vanished into thin air.

The Empress remained silent for a moment, her deep, unfathomable eyes lingering on Lin Mo's face.

Lin Mo felt that gaze was like an extremely fine needle piercing into his eyes, probing deeper and deeper, as if examining something.

"Su Meiniang, do you think Lin Mo ran away, or was he taken away by someone?"

"I believe it is more likely that they were taken away."

Since he chose to join the imperial court, he shouldn't have thought of betraying it; otherwise, after being wanted, he would only become a rat crossing the street.

There's no reason to do that!

"yes."

The Empress withdrew her gaze, her tone revealing no emotion.

"Put Lin Mo's matter aside for now. Now that you're back, stay in the palace for the time being. I have other tasks for you."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"You won't need to run around handling things outside anymore."

Lin Mo was slightly taken aback:

"Your Majesty means..."

"You're not young anymore."

The Empress picked up the teacup on the table.

"I had you running around outside before because I needed more people around me."

Now that the border is temporarily stable, you should settle down.

"Your Majesty, I don't quite understand."

"What I mean is that from this day forward, you will stay in the palace and serve me."

The Empress took a sip of tea, then set down the teacup.

"Besides, you're getting on in years; it's time for you to have children."

Lin Mo's lips twitched. Was he kidding her? Making him have a child?

Just as Lin Mo was in shock, the Empress spoke again:

"Go to the Family Planning Department tomorrow to get a bottle of holy water. After you have a child, you will take the place of my wet nurse."

Lin Mo was somewhat puzzled, wondering what it meant to replace the wet nurse, but it wasn't convenient for him to ask. He could only suppress his doubts for the time being and find out from the real Su Meiniang when he had time.

The Empress wants me to have a child, so what am I supposed to do?

We can't really have a baby, can we?

What would that look like!

This is outrageous! This is outrageous!

Lin Mo felt a chill run down his spine.

"What, you don't want to?"

Seeing that he didn't say anything, the Empress looked up at him.

"Your subject dares not."

Lin Mo quickly lowered his head.

"I was just... a little surprised."

"What's unexpected?"

"I believe Your Majesty will allow me to continue serving outside."

"Others will handle things outside."

The wet nurses around me are getting old, and the quality of their milk is becoming unstable.

"When you become a wet nurse, don't let me down!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Lin Mo dared not show the slightest change in expression, and bowed his head in agreement.

"I will go to the Family Planning Department tomorrow."

"Hmm." The Empress waved her hand.

"Go down. Rest early today. We'll receive the holy water tomorrow, and begin the day after."

"I have instructed the Imperial Medical Bureau to make arrangements for you."

"Yes."

Lin Mo bowed and left Fengming Palace, walking along the corridor towards Su Meiniang's residence.

The night wind blew in from outside the corridor railings, blowing coolly on his Su Meiniang face.

He walked along, calculating in his mind.

He had to find a way to gloss over the fact that he was receiving the divine water and having a child.

You can't really go and get a bottle of holy water and then get pregnant, can you?

Su Meiniang's residence was in a row of wing rooms on the east side of the palace, a private courtyard with several osmanthus trees and stone tables and benches under the trees.

When he pushed open the door, two palace maids were tidying up in the courtyard. They both looked up when they heard the noise.

Both of these palace maids were at the mid-stage of True God cultivation. They had delicate features and plump figures. One had a round face and almond-shaped eyes, and two dimples when she smiled.

She has an oval face, slender eyebrows and eyes, and a cool and aloof demeanor.

The two women wore matching light blue palace maid outfits, the soft, close-fitting fabric highlighting their individual curves.

"My lord, you're back."

A round-faced palace maid came forward and took the outer robe he had taken off.

A palace maid with an oval face handed him a cup of hot tea.

The two women moved swiftly and naturally, clearly indicating they were used to serving others.

Lin Mo sat down in the chair, took a sip of tea, and glanced at the two of them.

These two palace maids were close to Su Meiniang, and they saw each other every day.

He has Su Meiniang's face, but his inherent habits are definitely different from Su Meiniang's.

If it's a short time, you can fool them, but if it goes on for too long, they'll inevitably be exposed.

"You two, come here."

The two palace maids exchanged a glance and walked up to him.

Lin Mo put down his teacup and channeled his bewitching power from the depths of his consciousness, precisely penetrating the consciousness of the two people.

Their cultivation level was only at the mid-stage of True God, so the bewitching power penetrated without any resistance.

Their eyes changed from respect to confusion, and from confusion to obedience.

"You all know what's different about me from before, so don't say anything more."

"Yes, Master."

"Just call me 'sir'!"

"yes!"

That evening, the round-faced palace maid gently knocked on the doorframe and whispered a reminder:

"My lord, it's time to go to the palace to serve His Majesty and help him rest."

Lin Mo nodded and got up to go.

Su Meiniang had previously instructed him that she would use the purification law every night to dispel the Empress's fatigue from the day.

This was one of Su Meiniang's most important duties in the palace, and it was also the key to her ability to gain a foothold by the Empress's side.
