"Sh--"

After listening to Xiao Wenhan's account, Liang Emperor let out a heavy sigh.

"Such celestial beauty, yet I cannot meet her; what a regret!"

Xiao Wenhan's description may not be even one ten-thousandth of what actually happened, but it still captivated Liang Emperor, leaving him unable to control his emotions.

"Xiao Wenhan, you have rendered meritorious service by offering medicine to save the Emperor. I intend to restore the title of your ancestor, the Prince of Prince of Yue, which you will inherit. I will also reward you with a thousand taels of gold, five hundred bolts of Cloud Brocade, three thousand mu of fertile land, and promote you to the position of Provincial Surveillance Commissioner of Ji Province, granting you the authority to submit secret reports without the need for public announcements."

"And your only task is to help me find that Immortal and bring him back to the Capital."

Liang Emperor bowed down and, with an undeniable imperial majesty, announced the rewards and appointments bestowed upon Xiao Wenhan.

Upon hearing of the emperor's reward and appointment,

Xiao Wenhan suddenly felt dizzy again.

This time, however, it wasn't out of fear, but rather out of sheer joy and surprise.

"Thank you His Majesty your great kindness, Your Majesty. Your humble servant will go through fire and water, even unto death, to bring the Immortal back to the Capital."

Xiao Wenhan kowtowed repeatedly, tears streaming down his face, as if his soul had left his body.

Ancestors!!

Can you see it from heaven?

My grandson did it.

The Lineage's foundation and glory,

My grandson has finished.

By the way,

And Brother Huaimin,

I was so excited that I almost forgot about him.

"Your His Majesty, I was able to obtain the Immortal Elixir entirely thanks to the efforts of Zhang Huaimin, the magistrate of Heyang County. He is diligent in his duties, loves the people, is selfless, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, virtuous and upright, and truly a pillar of the nation."

"That is why the Immortals descended upon Heyang County, and Zhang Huaimin was fortunate enough to receive Immortal favor, being bestowed with Immortal Elixirs. Upon hearing that His Majesty was unwell, he even offered them up without any selfish motives."

"Your Majesty, I request that His Majesty commend Zhang Huaimin, the magistrate of Heyang County, to honor his loyalty and patriotism."

After Xiao Wenhan finished speaking, Liang Emperor showed an approving smile.

Even Eldest Princess Xiao Zhaohuang's eyes flashed with surprise.

He did not take all the credit, nor did he harbor any selfish motives.

I misjudged him before.

"Hahaha... Rewards, all rewards! Draft an imperial edict: Zhang Huaimin, the magistrate of Heyang County, is loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and has rendered meritorious service by presenting the elixir. He is hereby transferred to the position of Assistant Prefect Magistrate of Dingzhou Prefecture, and is awarded one hundred taels of gold, one hundred bolts of Cloud Brocade, and one hundred acres of fertile land. You may go to Heyang County to deliver the imperial edict and appoint him."

Liang Emperor was overjoyed.

"Thank you for your great favor, Your Majesty. Your Majesty is wise and virtuous. Your humble servant accepts the imperial decree and expresses his gratitude."

Xiao Wenhan bowed again in gratitude, tears streaming down his face.

With this series of promotions and rewards, the Imperial Eldest Grandson's faction was completely dumbfounded.

Originally, it was supposed to be a grand spectacle to witness the death of the previous emperor and the ascension of the new one.

How did you suddenly change?

It turned into a scene where the emperor lavishly rewarded the Eldest Princess's faction.

Now it's all good.

The power of the Eldest Princess's faction has grown even stronger.

However, the Imperial Eldest Grandson's faction only dared to whisper in their hearts, but dared not say it out loud, much less speak out to stop it.

I wonder if the emperor heard any of their little tricks just now.

If one dares to offend the emperor who has risen from the dead at this moment,

Once the emperor wrote his name into his little notebook,

The consequences would be unimaginable.

None of the ministers present were fools.

A fool can't climb to the position of prime minister or high-ranking official.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless and there was no way to reverse it,

The Imperial Eldest Grandson's faction could only cower and cower like quails.

Only Wang Zitao, the Ministry of Rites, was the most unwilling to accept this.

He was the tutor of the Imperial Eldest Grandson.

After the Imperial Eldest Grandson,

Then he would be the world-renowned imperial tutor.

Now it's all good.

The emperor did not die.

Not only has he lost his position as Imperial Tutor, but he's also likely to lose his position as Minister of Ministry of Rites.

The struggle for imperial power is not a dinner party.

That was a road of no return, fraught with bloodshed and danger.

It's either you die or I die.

If the emperor is resurrected and the Eldest Princess becomes powerful, then these close advisors of the Imperial Eldest Grandson will surely be dealt with and purged.

It's all that Immortal's fault.

Why would someone descend to the mortal realm and refine elixirs for no reason?

Why not just stay in heaven and play with those fairies?

They're just making trouble for themselves.

Your Highness, the Imperial Eldest Grandson, please say something.

Aba aba aba...

The Imperial Eldest Grandson, Xiao Chengchen, stated that he has now entered a state of seclusion and that no one should disturb him.

The farce of the late emperor's death and the new emperor's ascension to the throne finally came to an end with Liang Emperor's miraculous resurrection.

But nothing stays hidden forever.

The same applies to the imperial palace.

What happened in the Yangxin Hall today is destined to be publicized, and then spread throughout the Capital, and even the whole country.

The name of the Immortal

Soon in this world,

His fame spread far and wide, and his prestige resounded throughout the land.

Eldest Princess Xiao Zhaohuang returned to the State-Guarding Eldest Princess's Residence in her magnificent palanquin.

This is an extremely luxurious mansion.

The red walls stretch for hundreds of feet, topped with gilded glazed tiles.

Inside, Rare Flowers and Exotic Herbs and rare herbs bloom in profusion, and strange stones from Lingbi Mountain vie for attention.

The mansion had over a hundred servants and Maidservant, all dressed in brocade and embroidered patterns.

There is also a lake where she can board a boat and enjoy the view of the lush lotus flowers and watch the koi carp chasing the boat.

As the most noble woman in the world, and Eldest Princess also holds military power, she has reached the pinnacle in terms of status, position, and power.

Aside from the throne, Liang Emperor bestowed upon her all the best things in the world.

Upon entering the mansion, Xiao Zhaohuang did not go boating on the lake, nor did he appreciate famous paintings, nor did he summon his followers to discuss countermeasures.

She dismissed the servants.

He was accompanied only by two close Maidservant.

He changed into a close-fitting outfit in his bedchamber.

Then alone,

We arrived at the training ground.

The training ground is very large.

Swords, spears, halberds, targets, horse tracks—everything imaginable is available.

Xiao Zhaohuang first practiced with his halberd.

The heavy halberd, weighing dozens of kilograms, would be difficult for even an adult man to lift, but in her hands, it was like a child's toy, which she wielded with great force and fierce power.

Innate Divine Strength, taught by extraordinary individuals, and honed through battlefield experience—these are the hallmarks of powerful martial arts.

He exuded a fierce and ruthless aura, displaying a heroic and awe-inspiring presence.

After practicing halberd techniques,

Her face didn't flush, her heart didn't race, and even her breathing barely changed.

Next came horseback archery.

Maidservant led over a Red Hare, its entire body as red as fire, its steed body ablaze with flames.

Xiao Zhaohuang gracefully mounted his horse.

Holding a powerful bow, he rode his horse swiftly towards the shooting range with a dashing air.

He nocked an arrow and drew his bow, his phoenix eyes gleaming with a cold light.

Call out--

With three sharp, clear whistling sounds piercing the air,

All three arrows hit the bullseye with perfect accuracy.

Three arrows fired simultaneously, piercing the target's back.

After several more laps of galloping, with arrows whistling through the air,

Red Hare's speed finally slowed down.

Sweating profusely, Xiao Zhaohuang dismounted.

The Maidservant respectfully presented a handkerchief that had been prepared beforehand and soaked in warm water.

Xiao Zhaohuang took the handkerchief and gently wiped his forehead.

Warm water mixed with sweat streamed down her beautiful face, along her delicate, fair collarbone, and finally into her form-fitting outfit.

She's always like this.

He never talks to anyone about his worries or troubles.

Just one person,

In this empty training ground,

She was venting her emotions freely.
