I became an empress of the game

Chapter 73

Renshou Palace.

Eunuch Hu whispered back beside the Queen Mother. Shangguan Feiyan nodded, waved his hand and dismissed all the palace ladies.

She and Li Xingci were the only two people left in the main hall, and it was surprisingly quiet.

Li Xingci raised his head slightly. The Queen Mother was wearing a high-breasted black robe with wide sleeves and embroidered with dark red patterns. The dark patterns on the dress were made of dark ink and bright silk threads.

Every time he moved and turned, the flow patterns on his body seemed to be alive.

Her hair was rolled up with a string of fine pearls, giving it a faint halo, and the scattered hair looked like black silk.

Although she is a thousand-year-old lady, she does not look old at all.

After a long time, Li Xingci took the initiative to speak.

"I wonder what the Empress Dowager's purpose is when summoned?"

Shangguan Feiyan chuckled softly: "My will cannot be carried out by the words of the empress."

She didn't have the majesty of the Queen Mother at all, just like two old friends chatting about trivial matters.

Li Xingci swears in his heart that the empress is the empress in name, but in fact she is his wife.

If you don't listen to her, why should you listen to you, an old woman?

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shangguan Feiyan said to herself.

"I want to make a deal with you."

"trade?"

"In the Sky City, I bet you are still the leader."

Hey!
Li Xingci was shocked. Did he give up on Shangguan Yundu?
You know, the Shangguan family has always placed their hopes on Shangguan Yundu.

Although Shangguan Yundu was defeated in his own hands in the last battle, after all, there were still nearly half a year left, so he had to give up on him completely?
"The Queen Mother said so, the people are under great pressure."

"You don't have to pretend in front of me. Fairy Weisheng is willing to conquer Baihu Villa for you, isn't it because she takes a fancy to your ability."

"???" Li Xingci's face was full of question marks, "The queen mother said that the empress slaughtered Baihu Villa?"

"What, you don't know yet?" Shangguan Feiyan smiled.

"That arrogant empress is making bold promises." Shangguan Feiyan imitated the empress' tone, "So what if he slaughters all the nine provinces, no one of my people can even think of touching him!"

Li Xing was speechless, a bit like a domineering president.

"Since the Empress puts her treasure on you alone, I can't put all my eggs in one basket."

Originally Shangguan Feiyan still had a glimmer of hope for Shangguan Yundu, but after hearing about Li Xingci's performance at Baihu Villa, she became determined.

Even if Shangguan Yundu was given half a year, he might not be able to kill the saint in Luoxue Holy Land with one move.

I only have this one chance to bet, so I can't bet wrong.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it's not easy to win at both ends."

"No one has ever seen what the ascension machine is. What if it's just a pill?"

Li Xingci looked at the Queen Mother and went straight to the topic.

If there was only one chance to ascend, then he would never give it to the woman in front of him.

"I am curious. If there is really only one pill, will you take it yourself or give it to the empress?"

Li Xingci's eyes were slightly cold, he really didn't want to face this problem.

To the Empress?
After the Empress ascended, he was the first to die.

Again, without the support of the Empress, there are too many people in Kyushu who want to kill him and are capable of killing him.

If you don't give it to the empress, you can ascend by yourself?
It is all thanks to the Empress that I can get along like a fish in water in Kyushu.

Judging from the empress's collection of four high-level spiritual weapons, it was obvious that she was extremely concerned about her ascension.

Seeing Li Xingci's silence, Shangguan Feiyan did not continue to ask questions, but helped him make a choice.

"If you choose to let the Immortal Fairy Weisheng ascend, I will ensure that you are safe and sound in Kyushu."

This was her bargaining chip. If Immortal Fairy Weisheng really ascended, Li Xingci would have no support in Kyushu.

"But what good does this do to the Queen Mother?" Li Xingci asked puzzledly.

If there was only one chance, it would not be Shangguan Feiyan's turn anyway.

Moreover, there is also a dragon screen leader at the ninth level of Nascent Soul in Jiuzhou, how can she, who is at the eighth level of Nascent Soul, be able to compete with him.

It seemed that he had seen through what was in his mind.

"You don't have to worry about the head of the dragon curtain. I am firmly in the position of empress dowager. Naturally, I can rely on you."

"But what if it's not one pill, or there's more than one pill?"

"Li Xingci, I want you to swear an oath."

"If there is really a chance to ascend, besides you and the empress, the third person to ascend must be me."

Shangguan Feiyan flicked her palace sleeve, and the Queen Mother's majesty was vividly displayed.

Sounds like a fair deal.

No one loses when betting on an uncertain future.

Li Xingci's eyes flickered: "What if I choose to ascend by myself?"

"If you choose to ascend on your own, I will cooperate with the empress."

Li Xingci was stunned for a moment, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Cooperate with the Empress?
The person in front of me is not qualified to discuss cooperation with the Empress no matter how I look at it.

Shangguan Feiyan had a clear view of Li Xingci's expression.

"Do you think I'm not qualified to negotiate terms with her?"

Li Xingci lowered his head and said, "Young people don't dare."

"I married into the royal family at the age of 12. This Queen Mother is not for nothing."

"If you really ascend alone, I have what the Empress wants in my hands."

After saying that, Shangguan Feiyan showed a playful expression.

"Do you really think you have a choice?"

"If there is really only one chance to ascend, if you don't give it to Weisheng Fairy, will she let you go?"

Li Xingci suddenly looked up and saw the Queen Mother pointing her finger to the sky.

"I'm not afraid to tell you that Fairy Weisheng is not from Kyushu. She comes from the upper world."

"If you ascend alone, you will die on the day she ascends."

thump.

These words were like a heavy hammer hitting Li Xingci's heart.

No wonder the empress is so young, she already possesses the strength to control all the nine states.

My wife comes from the upper world!

He had this suspicion in his mind, but after it was confirmed, he was still shocked.

A goddess from a certain divine race in the upper world?
Wait, isn't this the protagonist's bloody plot?
He has a secret love affair with the goddess of the upper world, and his humble status is looked down upon by the other family.

30 years in Hedong, 30 years in Hexi, don't bully...

Thinking of this, Li Xingci felt agitated all over. This style of painting was wrong.

In fact, his roommate's personality about the empress has always made him very curious.

The ultimate big boss.

Although in terms of combat power, the empress from the upper realm is indeed the ceiling of Kyushu, she has always lived in Yunzhou and has no intention of dominating Kyushu.

Basically, if people don't offend me, I won't offend others. If people offend me, I will kill their whole family.

This seems a bit inconsistent with the identity of the ultimate villain.

The big villain should be the kind of demon who destroys the lives of all the people in Kyushu for his own selfish reasons.

half an hour.

Shangguan Feiyan asked: "How are you thinking about it?"

Li Xingci was pulled back from his thoughts.

"A fair deal, but I have another chip."

With that said, he took out the Netherworld Crystal Lotus.

"I don't know if I can use this thing to make the Queen protect me."

After he used the system to restore all the refined elixirs, the Netherworld Crystal Lotus naturally came back.

As far as he knew, Huo Yin went to the Hidden Forest to find the Netherworld Crystal Lotus for the Queen Mother.

That means that the current Queen Mother is in a poisoned state, but she has used some secret method to suppress the poison.

Sure enough, as he expected.

When Shangguan Feiyan saw the Nether Crystal Lotus, her eyes flooded and she almost lost her composure.

But her attitude was also very firm: "I refuse."
