An hour later, Qi Yuan was panting heavily.

After confirming that no one was behind him, he lay down in a valley.

"This isn't playing a game, this is escaping for my life!"

He had only killed a dozen or so Attire Demons in a remote area, but as a result, hundreds, even thousands, of Attire Demons directly surrounded him.

He kept running, using every ounce of strength he had, before finally managing to escape.

Qi Yuan sat up, a look of confusion on his face: "How did the other Attire Demons find me?"

He was very puzzled.

"Could it be that all Attire Demons share the same perception?"

Qi Yuan thought of the Zerg he had seen in anime before.

In one anime setting, the Zerg were all controlled by a single mother, using the same system.

"If that's the case, then it's troublesome!"

If that were the case, Qi Yuan's divide-and-conquer strategy would be ineffective.

He was very distressed.

This game map was even harder to grind than he had imagined.

"How about asking Jin Li for help?

Maybe she has some game walkthroughs."

Thinking this, Qi Yuan sent some messages: "There are really too many Attire Demons in the Attire Forbidden Area.

Today I saw a forest with bellybands hanging all over it, the scene was tsk tsk tsk, extremely shocking, if I took a picture with my phone and posted it online, it would definitely go viral!"

"Today, while hunting Attire Demons, I discovered some problems."

Qi Yuan described the problems he encountered and sent them out.

"Do you have any walkthroughs on your side? Send them to me, I'll use them as a reference, thank you very much!"

"Prime Minister, Her Majesty has returned to the palace." A man in a long robe said respectfully, "The people we sent are gone."

Sima Ting was playing chess. Hearing this, he smiled, ignoring the man in the long robe, and instead said to the civil official playing chess with him, "Bo Chang, are you sure you want to place it here and take one of my pieces?

My pieces are connected, with true eyes everywhere, the overall situation is set, you are already in a dead position."

Hearing this, the civil official complimented jokingly, "This humble official's chess skills are far inferior to the Prime Minister's, the general trend is gone, I'll take a piece if I can."

Sima Ting laughed heartily upon hearing this.

The current Empress Jin Li was like a black piece on the chessboard, with no way out.

A trapped beast still fights, death is only a matter of time.

And that civil official then took the opportunity to say, "In six days, when Old Madam Qin is defeated, we will attack her together, and then, Nanqian Kingdom will be the Prime Minister's world."

The power minister Sima Ting heard this, and the smile in his eyes deepened.

Although he could say that Nanqian Kingdom was already his world, how could it compare to having it legitimately?

Jin Li was in a good mood.

She had just seen Aunt Qin and gifted her the Emperor Rank medicine, Nine Flower Qi Luo.

With this Emperor Rank medicine, Aunt Qin's injuries would no longer be a problem.

Moreover, Aunt Qin might even step into the Emperor Realm!

For Jin Li, this was undoubtedly an exciting thing.

In a world where martial strength was paramount, having one more Emperor Rank expert gave her more confidence in dealing with Sima Ting.

And all of this was brought to her by Qi Yuan.

Thinking of Qi Yuan, her emotions were complex.

At this moment, the Exquisite Jade Tide flickered with light again.

She took out the Exquisite Jade Tide, her joyful emotions increasing even more. She looked at the content inside, observing it carefully, much more carefully than she looked at memorials, word by word.

When she saw that Qi Yuan had encountered danger in the Attire Forbidden Area, she felt a little frightened.

When she saw the trees in the Attire Forbidden Area were covered with dudou, a smile involuntarily appeared on her face.

"Information about the Attire Forbidden Area?"

When she saw Qi Yuan asking for her help, she immediately took it to heart.

"I'll help you find information about the Attire Forbidden Area right away.

Be careful before there are results."

"Oh, thank you for your concern."

Qi Yuan's message was replied to quickly.

"Let me tell you, the monsters in this Attire Forbidden Area are too peculiar..."

Qi Yuan spoke eloquently.

Jin Li also listened carefully.

At this moment, she did not have the identity of the Empress. In her eyes, Qi Yuan was not that mysterious and powerful expert either. The two were just old friends, old friends who could confide in each other.

Half an hour later, Jin Li looked at the books on the jade throne and frowned, "There are so few records about the Attire Forbidden Area?"

There was only a thin book in front of her, and there were very few records about the Attire Forbidden Area on it, only a few pages.

And all of these introductions were just common knowledge, which could not help Qi Yuan at all.

"Summon Grand Scholar Dong Shishun of the Wenyuan Pavilion," Jin Li said.

Grand Scholar Dong Shishun of the Wenyuan Pavilion was one of the most knowledgeable people in Nanqian Kingdom.

And Grand Scholar Dong Shishun of the Wenyuan Pavilion was also from Jin Li's faction, and she hoped to learn about the Attire Forbidden Area from Dong Shishun.

Before long, Grand Scholar Dong Shishun of the Wenyuan Pavilion appeared in the Luan Hall.

Jin Li asked directly, "Scholar Dong, do you know anything about the Attire Forbidden Area, especially about the Attire Demon?"

Dong Shishun was stunned upon hearing this.

The Attire Forbidden Area is one of the Four Forbidden Zones and One Absolute Territory of the Moon Gazing Continent.

It is tens of thousands of miles away from the capital of the Nanqian Kingdom.

Why is Her Majesty asking about this?

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I do not know," Dong Shishun answered truthfully.

The Attire Forbidden Area was too far away, and information about it was indeed scarce.

Jin Li felt a little disappointed upon hearing this.

Can't I help Qi Yuan?

Just then, Dong Shishun seemed to hesitate, but finally said, "This humble official..."

"Speak freely."

"In Duke Yu's Residence, there may be books and records about the Attire Forbidden Area.

When Duke Yu was young, he personally went to the Attire Forbidden Area." Dong Shishun knew that Duke Yu's residence had books about the Attire Forbidden Area, and they were very detailed.

The reason he hesitated was because Duke Yu's relationship with Her Majesty was very bad, even strained.

Duke Yu's daughter was the former Imperial Concubine, and the current Empress's mother was the previous Empress.

The Imperial Concubine and the Empress had a feud, and in the end, she died unexpectedly in the palace.

Duke Yu blamed this on the Empress.

And by the way, he also hated Her Majesty.

If Jin Li asked for the book, she would definitely be made difficult.

Jin Li also realized this, but she was still very happy in her heart, finally finding a clue.

She flicked her sleeves, "I will personally pay a visit to Duke Yu!"

She didn't have many people under her command. If she sent someone to ask Duke Yu for the book, she would definitely be recognized by Duke Yu, so it would be better to go herself.

Being made difficult was nothing.

As long as she could find information about the Attire Forbidden Area, it was nothing.

Late at night, Jin Li left Duke Yu's Residence with the books in her arms.

After kneeling for too long, her legs were a little uncomfortable when she walked, but her face was filled with a smile.

Imperial Guard Commander Hua Xian supported Jin Li, her beautiful eyes filled with anger, "Duke Yu is too much. He clearly knows that Your Majesty's legs were injured in her early years, yet he deliberately made things difficult for you. Your Majesty is of noble birth and extremely honorable, yet you were made to kneel before Consort Xi's spirit for a full three hours!"

Hua Xian was both angry and helpless.

During the late Emperor's reign, the imperial power had already declined, with Sima Ting seizing control.

Later, Sima Ting slaughtered the imperial family and supported a little girl to ascend the throne.

None of the officials in the court took Empress Jin Li seriously.

Seeing Her Majesty kneeling for several hours, she felt extremely distressed.

For ordinary people, kneeling on the ground for three hours is a very agonizing experience.

Those who are pampered would probably have fainted long ago.

Even ordinary adults would probably find it difficult to endure.

Only by truly kneeling for three hours, unable to move, can one understand the taste of such pain.

And although Empress Jin Li has cultivation, she is not very strong, and her legs are somewhat injured; otherwise, she would not have made a fool of herself when she ascended the throne.

Kneeling on the ground for three hours is also a difficult thing for her.

"It's alright, at least I got what I wanted." Jin Li hugged the book tightly, feeling satisfied in her heart.
