294: Entering the Queen's Chamber by Mistakenly
Lin Huaizhong said to Consort Shu, "I cannot make the decision on this matter; I must report it to the Lin Family Head first!"
"My father loves me so much! He definitely won't agree!!!"
Although she said that, Lin Yueer was filled with panic inside.
Meanwhile, the corner of the Ninth Prince's mouth curled up slightly.
"You wretch Lin Yueer, to actually insult me so; if you truly become my Dao Companion, then I will teach you what it means to be a man!"
"I will make you..."
Seeing the Ninth Prince's lecherous face, Lin Yueer felt like she was going to vomit.
At this moment, Lin Huaizhong used a Seal Formation to wrap himself within it, then took out a token to establish contact with the Lin Family Head in the Upper Domain.
"Family Head, both Lin Yu and Lin Ye will arrive in this Wu Dynasty. We have already established contact with Consort Shu and the Ninth Prince."
"They..."
Lin Huaizhong reported everything to the Lin Family Head, including the matter of establishing a marriage engagement.
The Lin Family Head on the other side of the token was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Agree to them."
Hearing this, Lin Huaizhong said helplessly, "But regarding Yue'er..."
"It doesn't matter. Tell her this is my order. Besides... so what if a marriage engagement is established? It doesn't mean she really has to marry over. Tell the people of the Wu Dynasty that Yue'er is too young right now; the engagement can be established, but it must be postponed for a few years."
"Yes! Family Head."
"Hmm..."
Hum... Following a flash of light, the token returned to calm, and Lin Huaizhong also walked out from the Seal Formation.
Lin Yueer looked at Lin Huaizhong with a nervous expression.
As a result, the next second, she heard news that almost made her collapse.
"The Family Head has agreed to your request, but my Young Miss is currently too young; it will be a few years before she can officially marry over."
"No problem!" Consort Shu nodded.
She didn't care at all when Lin Yueer married over; what she cared about was creating momentum for the Ninth Prince.
The stronger the background, the better. Clearly, being the Dao Companion of the Little Princess of the Lin Family was a very powerful background.
By then, those Ancestors would have to carefully consider, or even directly stand on the Ninth Prince's side.
After all, Consort Shu's maternal family was not a weak force either. The more trump cards in hand, the more stable the position of the Martial Saint Emperor would be.
Lin Yueer's small face turned pale, and she looked at Lin Huaizhong in disbelief.
"How could it be like this? How could it be like this? How could Father agree?!"
"Lin Yu will be here soon; let's discuss when we should make a move against them!"
No one paid any attention to Lin Yueer's despair.
After all, how could the union of two Immortal Dao Lineages care about her?
On the other side, inside the Imperial Palace, after Lin Ye walked out of the study, he hung the Martial Saint Emperor's token at his waist to avoid some unnecessary trouble.
The passing guards all bowed to Lin Ye.
It was evident that the Martial Saint Emperor was not lying; this token could truly allow him to move through the Imperial Palace without obstruction.
After asking several guards, Lin Ye quickly found the Phoenix Dance Palace.
The roof of the Phoenix Dance Palace was paved with glazed tiles, colorful and sparkling under the sunlight.
The four corners of the roof were upturned, like a Phoenix about to spread its wings and fly, giving people a feeling of lightness and agility.
Surrounded by a garden, it was filled with all kinds of exotic flowers and rare herbs, vying for beauty and stunning to behold. There was also a small stream in the garden, the water clear to the bottom, flowing murmuringly and emitting a pleasant sound.
Looking around, it was a peaceful and beautiful scene, making one feel as if they were in a fairyland.
Smelling the floral fragrance permeating the air, Lin Ye walked forward slowly.
The maidservants in front of the door saw the token at Lin Ye's waist and all lowered their heads to make way.
The Martial Saint Emperor had absolute authority within the Imperial Palace; after all, for an ambitious and arrogant emperor, even a single maid or guard had to be completely under his control.
And since Lin Ye had the Martial Saint Emperor's token, others dared not even ask, let alone stop him.
Tap, tap, tap...
Walking into the Phoenix Dance Palace, the fragrance became even more intense.
The decoration of the entire main hall looked ancient and grand. On the wall at the very front, an ancient Phoenix was carved, every single crimson feather shimmering with a red luster, as if it had come alive.
"Auntie?" Lin Ye asked softly.
But he did not receive a response.
Just at this moment, a maidservant walked over slowly. Seeing Lin Ye's appearance, she was stunned at first, and then she saw the token at his waist.
She hurriedly lowered her head to bow.
"Where is the Empress?"
Hearing Lin Ye's inquiry, the maidservant's expression showed a bit of panic.
The Empress? Why did this youth look for the Empress as soon as he arrived? But he was carrying the Martial Saint Emperor's token, what should she do?!
The maidservant was constantly struggling inside.
"Hmm?" Lin Ye frowned slightly. He did not understand why this maidservant was panicked; could it be that the Empress had encountered some danger?
Little did he know, in the maidservant's eyes, Lin Ye was clearly expressing his dissatisfaction.
Thinking of the Martial Saint Emperor's methods, the maidservant hurriedly knelt on the ground: "Empress... she is inside the palace."
"Hmm!" Lin Ye thought the Empress was in some danger, and combined with what the Martial Saint Emperor had said before, it made him inevitably feel a bit suspicious.
Could it be that they wanted to set a trap for him?! Thinking of this, Lin Ye turned into a stream of light and dashed directly into the palace.
Finally, outside a room in the deepest part, he felt the flow of a Formation!
"A Seal Formation? Could it be that the Empress has been placed under house arrest?!"
Lin Ye did not think too much. His two fingers manifested terrifying Sword Intent, and his whole body slammed into this Formation at extreme speed!
He had just sensed it; this Formation was not actually that solid.
Crack! Breaking the surface with a single point, as Sword Qi surged, the entire Formation shattered directly. Lin Ye opened the door and rushed in directly.
"Who!!!" A delicate shout rang out, accompanied by a wave of Qi blasting over.
Lin Ye did not have time to dodge; he formed a Seal with both hands and directly struck out a beam of Sword Qi.
With a boom, Lin Ye only felt a huge force slam into his body, and the sound of bones cracking instantly rang out from his arms.
At the same time, he also saw the scene before him clearly.
Seeing that the room was filled with water vapor, there was a rippling pool of water in front of him. And in this pool, there was an otherworldly figure, a voluptuous figure, skin as fair and pure as jade, a delicate body vaguely visible, and snow-white beautiful legs that tugged at one's heartstrings.
The vast expanse of spring scenery left Lin Ye stunned, so much so that he even forgot about the injuries on his body.
The person before him, who else could it be but Empress Wu?!
She was taking a bath, and he had just barged in?!
Boom! Lin Ye was directly slammed against the wall by that huge force.
And at this moment, Empress Wu also saw that the person who came was Lin Ye. At this moment, her beautiful and charming face was flushed with red, her waterfall-like hair was plastered to her body, and her brilliant eyes were filled with bashful anger as well as a trace of astonishment.
"Lin Ye, are you okay?!"
