Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 114 I've lost my patience!

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng felt all his strength drain away, and he almost collapsed to the ground.

The Great Zhou Emperor gradually straightened up, looking at him with a mocking gaze, as if he were looking at prey.

At this moment, a strange sound came from beneath the huge futon where the Great Zhou Emperor had just sat.

A chilling sobbing sound emanated from the space beneath the futon.

Bai Xiaosheng shuddered and lowered his head even further.

The Great Zhou Emperor simply looked at him and asked, "What did you just hear?"

"I...I...I didn't hear anything."

"Ok?"

The superior gave a soft snort, and Bai Xiaosheng immediately realized he had said the wrong thing.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, I didn't hear anything."

The Emperor of Great Zhou smiled faintly and raised his hand slightly: "Rise, Imperial Noble Consort."

After he finished speaking, he frowned slightly.

"I do not like you as you are now. Your Thousand Doors Technique is unpredictable and you are said to be able to calculate everything without fail."

"You, Bai Xiaosheng, were born at the right time, and being androgynous, you are the most talented person in the Tianji Pavilion."

"Many years ago, I promised you the title of Imperial Noble Consort, but you were proud and aloof and refused to bow your head, saying that you could defy fate for me and quickly absorb the destiny of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"And now? It seems your plans have all backfired."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaosheng dared not hesitate for a moment longer.

He reached behind his neck and removed six silver needles. In an instant, the lines of his androgynous face softened.

Before the princess's fate changes, he still has a choice.

He did not want to be trapped in the harem and become the puppet of the Great Zhou Emperor. He dreamed of traveling the world with his thousand-door technique and living a carefree life.

But now, he can only become Bai Xiaoxiao and fully accept his identity as a woman.

The Great Zhou Emperor was very pleased to see him like this, and his steps toward the prayer mat became lighter.

"Now tell me, where exactly did the problem lie?"

Bai Xiaoxiao immediately informed the Great Zhou Emperor about Chu Tiance and Hu Youniang's affair.

"Chu Tiance's fate should not be like this. With my arrangement for this person, he should have ascended to the position of the Northern Literary Emperor and then risen rapidly in the Great Zhou court."

"He will slowly absorb the cultural essence of the North, and with his high position, it will eventually be transformed into the nation's fortune for His Majesty's use."

"And that Hu Youniang..."

Hu Youniang's arrangements were actually no different from Chu Tiance's.

A fox that emerged from a blessed land possessed extraordinary talent and was destined for great fortune in cultivation.

Such a fox demon is extremely rare, appearing only once every few thousand years in the entire blessed land!

Bai Xiaoxiao searched the whole world before finding such a creature.

Hu Youniang alone could drain the last bit of cultivation opportunity left for spirits and monsters in this world.

As long as she exists, there will be no more spirits or monsters in the world that can take human form.

Heaven, in its compassion, has opened a glimmer of hope for spirits, and all of this will fall upon Hu Youniang.

Such a great opportunity, after the fate of the nation has been altered, will ultimately be used by the Great Zhou Emperor!

This arrangement was originally approved by the Great Zhou Emperor.

But now... everything has been disrupted!

Unlike Bai Xiaoxiao's anger, the Great Zhou Emperor appeared quite calm.

"The fact that Chu Tianze and Hu Youniang have fallen to such a state only proves that they are useless."

Bai Xiaoxiao looked at the Great Zhou Emperor, not expecting him to say that.

"Chu Tiance is a man of decent fortune, but lacks literary talent. If he hadn't come from the North, you wouldn't have chosen him at all."

That's true.

All people in the world are born in response to the times.

Some people are born ordinary, while others are blessed by the heavens.

However, the North is suffering from a shortage of talent, and Bai Xiaoxiao chose Chu Tiance for the same reason that Hu Youniang did.

They're all just picking the tallest among the short ones.

"I have gone to great lengths to cultivate Chu Tiance's arrogance."

"He was favored both openly and secretly, and the world believed that he was the emperor's favorite. Even court officials like Chen Wenyu treated him with great respect."

"Only in this way can he be encouraged to confront Yue Li. However... his writing skills are lacking, and he is ultimately just a mirage, not fit for any great task."

The Great Zhou Emperor spoke scathingly of Chu Tian Ce.

Now that everyone is dead, all the plans have come to naught.

"Where is Hu Youniang's dagger? She is dead. Did you not bring the dagger back to me?"

Bai Xiaoxiao shuddered, finding it difficult to speak.

The Great Zhou Emperor looked displeased upon seeing her like this.

"Your Highness, there's no need for such formalities. The affairs of the Great Zhou will be entrusted to you in the future, so you must not be indecisive."

Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaoxiao immediately reported, "Your Majesty, Hu Youniang's dagger has been taken by Zhou Wei, the military officer of the Princess's residence."

"This woman is truly remarkable..."

magic?

This description piqued the interest of the Great Zhou Emperor.

He had never heard Bai Xiaoxiao evaluate someone like that before.

Bai Xiaoxiao is a master of the art of a thousand gates, looking down on the world and considering everyone a pawn.

The fact that she described Zhou Wei as amazing shows that she is no ordinary person.

"Oh? What's so special about it?"

As the Great Zhou Emperor spoke, he suddenly had some recollection of Zhou Wei's name.

"Zhou Wei, is she a palace maid in Yue Li's residence? She just beat up the Third Prince not long ago?"

The Great Zhou Emperor's impression of Zhou Wei came from Empress Jian Xiyan and Consort Li Wanrong.

Both women seemed to have mentioned Zhou Wei's domineering nature, intentionally or unintentionally, in front of him.

Not only did she dare to beat up a prince, but she was also quite skilled in martial arts and had excellent medical skills!

If that's true, then it truly deserves the word "miraculous".

Bai Xiaoxiao immediately said, "Your Majesty, it is indeed this woman! Not long ago, she was just a third-class palace maid in the Princess's residence, but in just a few days, she was promoted to a fifth-rank military officer by the princess."

"This woman's cultivation is only at the first rank, yet she was able to withstand the self-destruction of the fox demon's core. It's really strange."

"The most important thing is..."

Bai Xiaoxiao paused at this point, and the Great Zhou Emperor looked at her.

"Just tell me. What strange things haven't I seen? She's just a palace maid. Do you think I'd be afraid of her?"

Bai Xiaoxiao nodded before continuing.

"Most importantly, I cannot calculate her fate..."

Upon hearing this, the Great Zhou Emperor's previously relaxed shoulders tightened, and he stared intently at Bai Xiaoxiao.

"What did you say?"

Can't you calculate Zhou Wei's destiny?

This is impossible!

Everyone has a destiny, so how could Bai Xiaoxiao not be able to calculate it?

“Your Majesty, that is indeed the case! This woman was originally destined to die by hanging, but now she is not only alive, but her fate is also shrouded in many mysteries, which I cannot fathom at all.”

"Today, after forcibly performing divination at the Temple of Agriculture, I suffered a backlash and vomited blood."

"Your Majesty's conjecture is that the Princess's fate has changed, and it is related to this woman!"

Bai Xiaoxiao's words reminded the Great Zhou Emperor of the sliver of national fortune he had failed to seize today.

In the world, besides Princess Jiang Yueli, there is no one else who can compete with him, a dignified emperor, for the nation's destiny and cultivation!

But before today, Jiang Yueli had been severely suppressed by Bai Xiaoxiao's scheme.

It is absolutely impossible to seize another country's destiny and cultivation.

After her fate changed, Jiang Yueli's suppressed abilities gradually became apparent.

This gave the Great Zhou Emperor a sense of urgency.

If Jiang Yueli's fate is completely reversed, he will no longer be able to compete with her!

The suppression by those with good fortune alone is far from enough.

The Great Zhou Emperor looked at Bai Xiaoxiao.

"Is Zhou Wei connected to the fate of the nation?"

Bai Xiaoxiao shook her head, "This woman has no luck at all, let alone the fate of the nation."

The Great Zhou Emperor finally breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as Zhou Wei has nothing to do with the fate of the nation, even if she is miraculous, it cannot affect her.

Although the eldest princess's fate has changed, it is still within a controllable range.

As long as Jiang Yueli is suppressed, she won't be able to cause any major trouble.

Thinking about cultivation, the Great Zhou Emperor secretly made a decision.

"I have run out of patience. I have almost used up the fortune I seized from Kongshan Temple. Next up is Shenyi Valley!"
