The main hall where Su Daji lived in the Longevity Immortal Palace.
The three demons, Su Daji, Hu Ximei, and Wang Guiren, invited the Guanghan Fairy to the seat of honor.
Su Daji, Hu Ximei, and Wang Guiren stood respectfully below.
Su Daji respectfully asked, "Senior, have you come to Chaoge because Nuwa has an important instruction?"
The Guanghan Fairy said, "Correct!"
Su Daji respectfully said, "Please enlighten us, Senior Guanghan Fairy."
The Guanghan Fairy said, "Nuwa's plan is as follows..."
Then, the Guanghan Fairy roughly explained Nuwa Sage's plan to the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb.
When the Guanghan Fairy had finished, she looked at Su Daji, Hu Ximei, and Wang Guiren.
The Guanghan Fairy asked, "Su Daji, do you understand what you must do?"
Su Daji respectfully replied, "Senior Guanghan Fairy, we understand."
The Guanghan Fairy nodded. "Since you understand, proceed according to the plan!"
The three demons, Su Daji, Hu Ximei, and Wang Guiren, said, "Yes, Senior Guanghan Fairy!"
After saying that, the Guanghan Fairy vanished directly from before the three demons.
Once Su Daji and the other two demons confirmed that the Guanghan Fairy had left, they immediately went to see Di Xin.
Di Xin said, "Su Daji, explain the Guanghan Fairy's plan to me in detail."
Su Daji respectfully replied, "Yes, Master!"
Then, Su Daji carefully recounted Nuwa Sage's plan to Di Xin.
After hearing it, Di Xin pondered for a moment.
Di Xin thought, Originally, the plot of the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation was that Su Daji wanted to rise to power and framed Empress Jiang.
Then Su Daji, Fei Zhong, and You Hun colluded with one another to harm the important ministers at court!
This caused the Great Shang Dynasty's ministers to turn against it and defect to Western Qi!
Di Xin would never tolerate such things happening again.
He was about to speak.
At that moment, a system notification sounded in Di Xin's mind.
"Ding! The system has issued a mission. Host, publicly execute Fei Zhong and You Hun without arousing Nuwa Sage's suspicions!"
"Upon completing the mission, the host will receive the Enlightenment Tea Tree, the foremost of the ten supreme innate spiritual roots of the Primordial World!"
Di Xin was utterly shocked upon hearing the system's reward.
Su Daji, Hu Ximei, and Wang Guiren did not see the expression on his face.
Then Di Xin said, "Su Daji, proceed according to the plan I have laid out!"
Su Daji, Hu Ximei, and Wang Guiren respectfully answered, "Yes, Master!"
Time passed in the blink of an eye.
After the morning court session ended the next day, Fei Zhong and You Hun left the court.
Fei Zhong and You Hun encountered Gun Juan, a palace maid who served Su Daji and the other two demons.
Naturally, all of this had been arranged by Di Xin at Su Daji's direction.
Upon seeing Fei Zhong and You Hun, Gun Juan respectfully bowed to them.
"Greetings, Lord Fei and Lord You!"
Fei Zhong and You Hun said, "Rise."
Then Fei Zhong said, "Gun Juan, I have something to tell you."
Gun Juan asked, "What is it, Lord Fei?"
Fei Zhong said, "Gun Juan, this is not a place to talk. After we leave, find a way to leave the palace and come to the Fei Residence."
Gun Juan hurriedly said, "Lord Fei, you should know the rules of the Great Shang Dynasty's imperial palace!"
"The palace maids and servants of the inner palace are not allowed to leave the palace without permission!"
Fei Zhong said, "Of course I know that."
"Isn't that why I told you to find a way?"
Gun Juan's expression abruptly changed, and she said with some difficulty, "Lord Fei, what way could a mere palace maid like me possibly have?"
After hearing this, Fei Zhong and You Hun felt that Gun Juan had a point.
Fei Zhong said, "Gun Juan, how about this? If you have any opportunity to leave the palace in the next few days, come to the Fei Residence."
Gun Juan nodded. "Yes, Lord Fei."
After saying that, Gun Juan left.
After seeing Gun Juan depart, Fei Zhong and You Hun also left the imperial palace.
By then, Di Xin's primordial spirit had long since enveloped the entire palace.
Di Xin saw the meeting between Fei Zhong, You Hun, and Gun Juan clearly.
A smile appeared on Di Xin's lips. "The fish has taken the bait."
Su Daji, Hu Ximei, and Wang Guiren asked, "Master, what fish has taken the bait?"
Di Xin said, "After court ended just now, Fei Zhong and You Hun secretly met with Gun Juan in the palace's rear garden."
"They wanted Gun Juan to secretly leave the palace and then go to Fei Zhong's residence."
Su Daji respectfully said, "Master, this servant believes you should issue an edict!"
"Allow the palace maids and female servants within the imperial palace to leave on their own to purchase personal items."
"However, the number of palace maids and servants permitted to leave each day should be limited."
After hearing this, Di Xin nodded. "I believe your suggestion is feasible."
Di Xin said, "Good. I will issue the edict at once."
"Su Daji, Hu Ximei, Wang Guiren, the three of you should immediately return to your quarters in the Longevity Immortal Palace."
"An edict will be issued shortly. Follow the plan and have Gun Juan leave the palace."
Su Daji, Hu Ximei, and Wang Guiren respectfully bowed to Di Xin. "Yes, Master."
After saying that, Su Daji, Hu Ximei, and Wang Guiren left.
Longevity Immortal Palace.
When Gun Juan saw Su Daji and the other two demons return, she hurriedly came forward to pay her respects.
At that moment, Su Daji, Hu Ximei, and Wang Guiren wore troubled expressions.
Gun Juan took note of the expressions on the three demons' faces.
Gun Juan respectfully asked, "Your Highness, is something troubling you?"
Su Daji raised her head and glanced at Gun Juan.
Su Daji nodded. "Yes."
Seeing this, Gun Juan hurriedly said, "If something is troubling Your Highness, you may tell this servant."
"Perhaps this servant can offer Your Highness some advice?"
Su Daji pondered for a moment before speaking. "Just now, we went to see His Majesty and Empress Jiang."
"Empress Jiang relied on her status as the principal empress and accused us of bewitching His Majesty and caring only for pleasure."
"She humiliated us before everyone. We swear we will not rest until this grudge is avenged."
"Gun Juan, do you have any good plan to help us avenge this grievance?"
After hearing this, Gun Juan pretended to ponder before saying, "Your Highness, this servant knows Fei Zhong, the Court Remonstrance Grandee."
"Perhaps Lord Fei, the Court Remonstrance Grandee, can help Your Highness?"
Su Daji asked in surprise, "Court Remonstrance Grandee Fei Zhong?"
"How could he possibly help me???"
Gun Juan said, "Your Highness, Lord Fei, the Court Remonstrance Grandee, is most skilled in schemes and intrigues."
"This servant believes Lord Fei can certainly help Your Highness."
After hearing this, Su Daji nodded.
"Good. In that case, Gun Juan, secretly leave the palace and make a trip to the Fei Residence."
"Tell Fei Zhong about my matter and have him come up with a good plan no matter what!"
Gun Juan said, "Your Highness, it will be somewhat difficult for this servant to leave the palace."
Su Daji said, "Leave the palace immediately. Say that I ordered you to do so."
Gun Juan said, "Your Highness, leaving the palace requires His Majesty's edict or written order."
Su Daji said, "That is easily handled. I will ask His Majesty for a written order."
Gun Juan nodded. "Yes, Your Highness."
After saying that, Su Daji was about to pretend to rise and seek Di Xin's written order.
Just then, a voice from outside carried into the Longevity Immortal Palace.
"His Majesty decrees that all Imperial Guard soldiers, palace maids, and female servants of the imperial palace may leave the palace on their own to purchase necessary items."
"However, only two people may leave the palace each day."
"The quotas for each palace and hall shall be applied for by that palace or hall, or recommended by its master."
"Anyone leaving the palace must return before the palace gates close."
"Otherwise, they shall all be convicted as deserters!"
