“I wouldn't be mistaken; these are definitely two spiritual weapons.”
“Two?”
“Yes, both of these sabers are spiritual weapons.”
“This…” Li Yuzhen found it increasingly unbelievable.
She thought for a moment, “It seems the Prince Consort also has a similar saber.”
“Three spiritual weapons…” Li Miaotan said softly, “It seems we don't understand this Ninth Prince very well.”
“If they really are spiritual weapons…, then the Emperor probably didn't give them.”
“Not necessarily.”
“Prince Gan treats him very well; it's likely Prince Gan gifted them.”
“That Prince Gan, ranked fifteenth?”
“Yes, Prince Gan was also a Spirit Guard. Not long after he returned, he took the Phoenix Nirvana Pill that Your Highness gave to the Prince Consort and it saved his life.”
“The previous Demon Clan assassination attempt?”
“It was precisely the assassination of Prince Gan. Prince Gan nearly died, but the Phoenix Nirvana Pill saved him.”
“What about the Great Bright Heart-Protecting Pill?”
“It's said that the Great Bright Heart-Protecting Pill just wasn't refined in time.”
“He's quite generous; it seems this Prince Gan is his weakness.”
“...Yes.” Li Yuzhen nodded lightly, “Besides Miss Youlan, it's this Prince Gan.”
Li Miaotan said softly, “With these two flaws, his aloofness is just an act; his heart is still soft.”
“Your Highness, I think the world has misunderstood the Prince Consort.”
“Here you go again with this argument!” Li Miaotan waved her jade hand, “He's cold on the outside but warm on the inside, with a harsh exterior but a gentle and kind heart, a rare good person?”
“The Prince Consort is indeed like that.”
Li Miaotan said softly, “So what? We are destined to be opponents.”
“Your Highness, I don't think we necessarily have to be opponents,” Li Yuzhen said quickly.
Li Miaotan gave a smile that wasn't quite a smile.
Li Yuzhen said quickly, “The Prince Consort is isolated and excluded in the Jade Vista Dynasty. He's also disliked by the Emperor and has never received fatherly love since childhood. He certainly has no sense of belonging to the Jade Vista Dynasty and doesn't like it.”
“Don't forget about Imperial Concubine Hui.”
“The Prince Consort has always believed that Imperial Concubine Hui is the murderer of his mother, so he feels no gratitude towards Imperial Concubine Hui.”
“Imperial Concubine Hui didn't kill his mother.”
“But the Prince Consort may not believe it.”
“Hmm…”
“The Emperor despises him, not only not avenging his mother but also sending himself to be raised by his enemy. How could the Prince Consort not hate him?”
“Will he completely defect to our side?”
“If Your Highness treats him with sincerity and binds him with tenderness, the Prince Consort will definitely stay and never return.”
“…”
“With Your Highness's beauty, the Prince Consort will surely fall into a gentle trap, unable to extricate himself.”
“A honey trap?” Li Miaotan chuckled, “It seems you really like him.”
“The Prince Consort has extraordinary comprehension and his cultivation progresses extremely quickly, a rare genius in the world.” Li Yuzhen said, “If he can become a member of our Phoenix Dynasty, it will definitely be of great benefit to the court and a great help to Your Highness.”
“He can help me?” Li Miaotan shook her head with a smile, “Have you drunk his love potion?”
“Your Highness, don't underestimate the Prince Consort,” Li Yuzhen said quickly, “In my opinion, the Prince Consort's martial arts talent and comprehension are not inferior to Your Highness's.”
“You really have drunk his love potion.” Li Miaotan shook her head with a chuckle.
Li Yuzhen looked at her solemnly.
Seeing her like this, Li Miaotan said helplessly, “Alright then, since that's the case, I'll give it a try.”
“...Yes.” Li Yuzhen said helplessly.
Li Miaotan said, “These two spiritual weapons, are we really going to send them to the Outer Territory Battlefield?”
“According to what the Prince Consort said, just find a place and throw them away.”
“If they were ordinary treasures, throwing them away would be truly throwing them away, but these are spiritual weapons. If he has refined them, they can return on their own.”
“The Prince Consort is probably waiting for them to return on their own, to first absorb the spiritual energy of the Outer Territory Battlefield.”
Li Miaotan once again used the tip of her sword to lift up an Autumn Water Divine Saber, placing it in front of her eyes to examine, keeping enough distance to be able to dodge at any time.
“Your Highness?”
“Alright.” Li Miaotan said softly, “I agree.”
“Thank you, Your Highness!” Li Yuzhen quickly clasped her fists.
Li Miaotan snorted, “Helping him, what are you thanking me for!”
Li Yuzhen said, “Your Highness is wise and generous; the Prince Consort will surely be grateful.”
“It would be good enough if he didn't satirize me or scold me; grateful? I wouldn't dare to hope!” Li Miaotan sneered, “Even if I helped him more, he wouldn't be grateful.”
“The Prince Consort only says that, but in reality, he is extremely grateful to Your Highness.”
“Alright, don't say good things for him. I know what kind of person he is… Be careful when you're by his side.”
“Yes.” Li Yuzhen said solemnly, “Your Highness must also be very careful when you go to the Outer Territory Battlefield.”
She pulled out a jade pendant from her chest.
The jade pendant was like a teardrop, crystal clear and seemingly shimmering faintly.
Li Miaotan lightly furrowed her delicate brows, “What is this for?”
Li Yuzhen stuffed the jade pendant to her, “Your Highness, this is a Soul-Protecting Pearl. I obtained it from a fortuitous encounter and it can resist the Demon Clan's soul power attacks.”
Li Miaotan said, “My swordsmanship can resist soul power attacks.”
Li Yuzhen shook her head gently, “Your Highness's Phoenix Divine Sword can block it, but Demon Clan experts always appear abruptly, making it impossible to defend against. It's impossible for Your Highness to constantly use the Phoenix Divine Sword.”
Li Miaotan hesitated for a moment.
Li Yuzhen said, “Your Highness can return it to me when you return from the Outer Territory Battlefield. I won't encounter Demon Clan experts here, so I don't need it.”
“Who knows if you'll encounter Demon Clan experts.” Li Miaotan snorted, “If the information he gave is correct, the Demon Clan will assassinate him next.”
Li Yuzhen said, “The news may not spread. Even with Prince Gan setting an ambush, it didn't attract Demon Clan experts.”
Li Miaotan shook her head, “Demon Clan experts aren't fools; how could they fall for such a trick.”
Li Yuzhen said, “Your Highness, Demon Clan experts are naturally extremely insidious and cunning, not fools but arrogant… It seems they dare not be arrogant this time, they must have suffered a great loss.”
If they hadn't suffered a great loss, they would never have developed fear. The second assassination would have already arrived.
Li Miaotan said, “The Jade Vista Dynasty found a way to suppress them, which is why they forced the Demon Clan to become angry and launch a vicious assassination attempt.”
Li Yuzhen nodded lightly.
Li Miaotan said, “Do you know what method they used?”
Li Yuzhen shook her head gently.
Li Miaotan sighed, “It's true that you couldn't possibly know; it must be a secret among secrets.”
Her cold spring-like eyes gleamed, and she said softly, “I'm afraid we'll have to pay something to find out.”
Li Yuzhen said quickly, “It's worth paying some price.”
“Yes, I'm not afraid of paying benefits, I'm just afraid of not finding a way to suppress them… Father Emperor has already sent people over to talk.”
Li Yuzhen said, “The Emperor is wise.”
Li Miaotan snorted softly, “I really didn't expect the Jade Vista Dynasty to have such abilities.”
Her bright eyes flickered with curiosity, eager to know how they suppressed the Demon Clan's invasion of the blessed land.
They had tried, but even the experts of Fengtian Palace couldn't find the Demon Clan experts in the blessed land.
Knowing that the Demon Clan experts had entered the blessed land, they were unable to find them, completely helpless.
This feeling was extremely frustrating, so they couldn't wait to go to the Jade Vista Dynasty to ask for advice.
