Verdant Green Maiden's words were somewhat crude, yet Yuan Tiangang could only smile helplessly when he heard them.
He knew that Verdant Green Maiden often did things entirely according to her mood.
Yuan Tiangang watched the eunuch's back ahead of them as he followed him toward Taiji Palace, then said slowly, "No matter what happens later, Goddess, please... remain calm. Do not get agitated."
"I'm very calm."
Verdant Green Maiden replied.
Yuan Tiangang merely smiled at that.
The eunuch soon led Yuan Tiangang and Verdant Green Maiden's group to Taiji Palace. Turning back to Yuan Tiangang, he said, "daoist priest, His Majesty will only see you. Please have your two disciples wait outside the hall with me."
Disciples?
Verdant Green Maiden raised a brow.
Yuan Tiangang's body trembled. He coughed and said, "They are not this Poor Daoist's disciples. This Poor Daoist is not qualified for that! These two are both figures like immortal gods. Let them enter as well. This Poor Daoist believes His Majesty will receive them."
"This..."
The eunuch had never seen Verdant Green Maiden before and hesitated for a moment.
But Verdant Green Maiden paid him no mind.
She directly stepped forward and pushed open the hall doors. Li Yuan was leisurely drinking wine and watching the singing and dancing. The ministers in the hall were all beaming with delight, indulging in extravagance and pleasure.
Most of them were former officials of the Sui Dynasty.
For an emperor to live as comfortably as he did without having his country fall, such a thing was rare throughout all of history.
"Oh-ho—"
Verdant Green Maiden laughed and said, "Feeling quite comfortable, are you?"
Li Yuan's expression changed in shock!
He hurriedly rose to his feet and stared in astonishment at Verdant Green Maiden standing in the main door.
