My cultivation disguise has been exposed by Xiao Sizi.

Taiji Palace, inside the Lizheng Hall.

The atmosphere became incredibly bizarre and comical at that moment.

Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty, clutching the jade belt (a Tang Dynasty version of Seven Wolves) that symbolized imperial power, was so angry that he jumped up and down in front of the dragon throne.

"You unfilial son! You are an utterly depraved and ungrateful son!"

Li Shimin's chest heaved violently, and spittle flew everywhere.

"It's one thing for him to cause trouble outside, but to harass innocent young women, take advantage of them, and even dare to use my name!"

"No wonder my eyelids have been twitching these past few days; it turns out this little brat has framed me for something terribly wrong!"

Li Shimin grew angrier the more he thought about it.

He was a great emperor throughout history, the supreme ruler of the Tang Dynasty.

He was almost mistaken for a shameless scumbag who cheated people out of their money and women! If this got back to that old scoundrel Wei Zheng, wouldn't it cause a bloodbath in the court?

"When that bastard gets back, I'll break his legs!"

Looking at the furious Li Shimin.

Jiang Qingxue and Jiang Liyue, who were standing to the side, were completely bewildered.

Only now have they truly grasped the absurd and bizarre truth.

That blue-robed man in the underground cave, spouting nonsense and possessing unfathomable strength. That madman in the Demon Realm, who dared to point his finger at a half-step Nascent Soul Demon Emperor and hurl insults.

It wasn't Li Shimin at all.

Instead, it was the sixteenth son of the emperor before him, the sixteenth prince of the Tang Dynasty, Li Chen!

"So... he lied to me..."

Jiang Liyue bit her lower lip tightly, her beautiful face flushing red and white alternately.

Upon learning the truth, she felt both ashamed and indignant at being deceived, and also a sense of relief that was hard to explain.

At least, that man wasn't really an emperor with three thousand concubines and a multitude of children.

Just as Jiang Liyue was deep in thought.

A pair of hands, warm and smooth as jade, gently covered the back of her hands.

Jiang Liyue froze and looked up.

What came into view was Empress Zhangsun's magnificent face, which was both elegant and noble, yet filled with boundless love and fervor.

"Good child, I'm so sorry to have put you through this."

Empress Zhangsun took Jiang Liyue's hand and pulled her to sit down next to her.

As the Empress of the Tang Dynasty, she was also a cultivator at the early stage of the Golden Core realm.

Empress Zhangsun's discerning eyes had long since seen through the hidden pure yang essence within Jiang Liyue's body.

That was Li Chen's aura.

What does this tell us?

This means that the peerless fairy in front of us, whose beauty is unparalleled and whose cultivation has reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, has already consummated her marriage with her beloved son!

"This unfilial son, setting aside his other skills, certainly inherited his father's talent for choosing a wife."

Empress Zhangsun secretly admired her.

She looked at Jiang Liyue with increasingly bright eyes, even more satisfied than if she were looking at a priceless treasure.

"Your name is Liyue, right?"

Empress Zhangsun's voice was so gentle it could melt water, as if it possessed a magical power to soothe the soul.

"That brat was causing trouble outside, using his father's name; it was indeed wrong of him."

"But don't worry."

Empress Zhangsun patted Jiang Liyue's hand, her tone extremely firm.

"Now that you have consummated your marriage, you are now the legitimate daughter-in-law of my Great Tang Dynasty."

"When he returns, I will personally arrange for him to marry you in a grand and lavish ceremony, carried by eight bearers!"

"If he dares to utter a single word of dissent, I'll skin him alive!"

This is a straightforward and domineering declaration, yet it is also extremely protective of its own.

Jiang Liyue's mind went completely blank after hearing this.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty...how...how did you know about us...we...?"

Jiang Liyue's cool and beautiful face instantly turned as red as a sunset, down to her ears.

She stammered, and could barely speak properly.

"I...it was an accident...I haven't agreed to marry him yet..."

"Oh, what's this about being unexpected?"

Empress Zhangsun smiled broadly, giving Jiang Liyue no chance to refute.

"Those who cultivate immortality value fate. If you can cultivate each other's lives at the critical moment of life and death, then that is a preordained fate."

"From now on, don't call me 'Your Majesty' anymore; it sounds too formal."

Empress Zhangsun leaned closer and whispered, "Call me Mother, just like Chen'er."

A cry of "Mother Empress".

Like a thunderbolt, it struck Jiang Liyue so hard she was stunned and embarrassed, wishing she could disappear into the ground on the spot.

Standing to the side, Jiang Qingxue looked at her younger sister's shy and helpless appearance, and her heart was filled with mixed feelings.

She looked around at the magnificent hall.

Feeling the unfathomable cultivation of this royal family, as well as the strong family affection and warmth of everyday life.

Jiang Qingxue knew that if her younger sister could marry into such a family, it would be an absolute blessing.

but.

The thought of the man in blue robes whose fate was unknown instantly dimmed Jiang Qingxue's eyes.

"Your Majesty, the Empress."

Jiang Qingxue took a deep breath, stepped forward, and respectfully performed a deep bow.

"To cover our escape from the Demon King's pursuit, Young Master Li single-handedly blocked the raging void storm and demonic fire."

Jiang Qingxue's voice was choked with sobs.

"He exhausted all his true essence and spatial laws, and was eventually swept into an unknown spatial turbulence, his whereabouts unknown."

"Your Majesty, please intervene and save Young Master Li!"

Upon hearing this...

The atmosphere inside the Lizheng Hall instantly became heavy.

The jade belt in Li Shimin's hand froze in mid-air, and his originally angry face was instantly filled with deep worry and anxiety.

Spatial turbulence? Loss of coordinates?

Li Shimin gasped.

Although he had been cultivating immortality for about a year, he had learned from the many books he had acquired how vast and dangerous the void was.

Lost in the endless starry sky without coordinates, it's a million times more desperate than finding a needle in a haystack!

"Guards! Summon Yuan Tiangang and Li Chunfeng!" Li Shimin roared.

"Immediately determine Chen'er's whereabouts for me!"

"Father, wait!"

At this extremely anxious moment.

King Li Tai (Qingque), who had been standing silently to the side, suddenly stepped forward with his round belly and a confident expression.

"Father, there's no need to look for anyone. They can't calculate this kind of cross-disciplinary deduction."

Li Tai stood tall and proud, his small eyes sparkling with intelligence.

"The sixteenth brother is lost in the void, without any coordinates, truly like a rootless duckweed, facing a life-or-death situation."

"but……"

Li Tai deliberately kept everyone in suspense, a proud smile playing on his lips.

"But I have a way to get him back!"

"What's the solution? Tell me quickly!" Li Shimin urged impatiently.

Li Tai cleared his throat and extended a chubby finger.

"During this time, your son has been studying the various arts of cultivation day and night, and has gained considerable insight into formations. Your son is capable of creating an unprecedented bloodline-guiding formation!"

"This formation does not require external coordinates."

Li Tai pointed at Li Shimin.

"All we need is the vast and boundless imperial fortune of our Great Tang Dynasty as its foundation, supplemented by the lifeblood of our Father Emperor!"

"The bloodline flowing through the veins of the sixteenth brother is the same as yours."

"Once the formation is activated, the fortune and bloodline power of the Tang Dynasty will transform into the most dazzling beacon in the starry sky."

"No matter which small world the sixteenth brother gets lost in, he can feel this powerful calling!"

Hearing this brilliant idea.

Everyone's eyes lit up.

"Excellent! What a magnificent bloodline-guiding array!"

Li Shimin was so excited that he slapped his thigh and rolled up his sleeves without hesitation.

"Don't even mention a drop of my essence; even if you drain half my blood, as long as I can find that rebellious son, I won't bat an eye!"

Li Shimin waved his hand.

"Qingque, whatever materials you need, just take them from the national treasury! As for manpower, I'll mobilize a million troops for you! You have three days to build this formation for me!"

"Your subject obeys the decree!" Li Tai excitedly accepted the order and left.

Empress Zhangsun turned her head and gently took Jiang Liyue's hand.
