185: Your Majesty, please make the decision for our Supervisory Office!

The Dragon Virtue Hall was vast and flat, with a floor covered in black jade, its faint dark luster appearing mysterious under the candlelight.

Nine towering black pillars stood majestically, supporting this enormous palace.

At the very center, a nine-meter-long golden jade staircase stood proudly.

Above the golden jade staircase was a five-meter-long dark black couch.

The couch was covered with a thick blanket, and in front of it, a thin black veil gently draped down, like a dream!

Through this thin black veil, one could only vaguely discern the scene within.

A woman dressed in a black flowing imperial robe sat upon this couch.

The black imperial robe was embroidered with stars, sun, moon, mountains, and plants, with nine dark black divine birds soaring and dancing in the center.

The woman wore a dark black crown, her meticulously combed black hair falling like a waterfall behind her.

This woman was none other than the Emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty, Xia Mingyue!

On Xia Mingyue's beautiful and fair face, a pair of deep, clear eyes, like a tranquil pond, seemed capable of seeing through all things in the world.

Her skin was like jade, and her pure white, flawless legs were faintly visible beneath the dark black imperial robe.

Xia Mingyue held a memorial in both hands, meticulously browsing its contents.

The content of the memorial was, surprisingly, everything about Lu Xuan's life.

From the Lu Family Pharmacy in Qingyun County, all the way to Baidao Prefecture, everything was recorded within it.

“Lu Xuan, the person Li Family values?”

“Martial Arts Aptitude is unprecedented?”

“Suspected to be an Outer Strength Grandmaster!”

“At twenty years old, has he already achieved a Breakthrough to Outer Strength Grandmaster?”

A mysterious glint appeared in Xia Mingyue's beautiful eyes, and then she handed the memorial in her hand to her right.

“Qing Qiu, have you read the contents of this memorial?”

To Xia Mingyue's right was a woman dressed in a light pink robe, embroidered with numerous plum blossom patterns.

This woman was the Lord of the Plum Blossom Guard, Man Qing Qiu!

The Plum Blossom Guard was a new surveillance organization established by Xia Mingyue since she ascended the throne.

Its purpose was to cultivate a large number of Plum Blossom Guard, to infiltrate every corner of the Great Xia Dynasty, and to keep an eye on the every move of all major and minor forces in the world.

As for the target of surveillance, the most important Blackbird Guard, naturally also had the eyes and ears of the Plum Blossom Guard.

Seeing this, Man Qing Qiu quickly bowed, respectfully taking the memorial from Xia Mingyue's hand.

“Reporting to Your Majesty, your humble servant has read it.”

Xia Mingyue spoke indifferently.

“Speak!”

Man Qing Qiu understood; Your Majesty wanted to know her opinion of this Lu Xuan.

“Your humble servant believes that if this intelligence is true, then this Lu Xuan is indeed a Prodigy.”

“Given time, this Lu Xuan will likely achieve a Breakthrough to that Realm.”

“Divine Abode True Person!”

After hearing Man Qing Qiu's deduction, Xia Mingyue made a decision in her heart.

“Divine Abode True Person, huh?”

“Send someone to notify Li Chengxing, and have this Lu Xuan come to the capital to see Me!”

“Yes, Your Majesty, your humble servant accepts the decree!”

Upon receiving the decree, Man Qing Qiu's body instantly became ethereal, then completely vanished into the world.

Before Xia Mingyue, an Outer Strength Grandmaster Martial Artist was nothing more than a slightly larger ant in her eyes.

Only a Martial Artist of the Divine Palace Realm could gain Xia Mingyue's attention.

At this moment, three ghostly figures appeared below the golden jade staircase, three women dressed in white palace attire.

Immediately after, the three palace women clasped their hands and bowed, kneeling on one knee towards Xia Mingyue on the golden jade staircase.

“Your Majesty, Surveillance Division Lord Sun Cheng, and Surveillance Division Vice Director Luo Gongli, have come to seek an audience with Your Majesty!”

After hearing these words, Xia Mingyue's face was as calm as water, without any surprise.

Because Xia Mingyue had already known the news in advance.

An Prefecture Surveillance Commissioner Inspector Luo Jin was dead, and his Luo Family Bloodline was also uprooted, leaving no one behind.

“Granted!”

A moment later, two figures walked from outside the palace gate all the way to the foot of the golden jade staircase.

Then, their movements fluid, the two clasped their hands and bowed low towards Xia Mingyue.

“Your servant, Surveillance Division Lord Sun Cheng, greets Your Majesty!”

“Your servant, Surveillance Division Vice Director Luo Gongli, greets Your Majesty!”

Xia Mingyue looked at the two of them indifferently, then spoke softly.

“My two beloved ministers, rise!”

Upon hearing this, Surveillance Division Vice Director Luo Gongli immediately spoke impatiently.

“Your Majesty, this old servant has an important matter to report, please grant permission, Your Majesty!”

Xia Mingyue: “Granted!”

“Reporting to Your Majesty, An Prefecture Surveillance Commissioner Inspector Luo Jin was assassinated by villains.”

“Besides Inspector Luo Jin, his entire Family also perished tragically.”

“Such a brazen and heinous act, please Your Majesty, you must uphold justice for our Surveillance Division.”

At this moment, Surveillance Division Lord Sun Cheng also put on a look of deep sorrow.

“Please Your Majesty, issue an order to dispatch the Mirror Division to An Prefecture to investigate thoroughly and uphold justice for Inspector Luo Jin's entire Family!”

Xia Mingyue slightly furrowed her brows, then, without showing any emotion, spoke softly.

“Then, as my two beloved ministers suggest, let the Mirror Division go to An Prefecture!”

Upon hearing this, Sun Cheng and Luo Gongli both bowed again towards Xia Mingyue.

“Your humble servant thanks Your Majesty!”

“Your humble servant thanks Your Majesty!”

With the Mirror Division involved, the culprit who killed Inspector Luo Jin would certainly not escape punishment.

The Mirror Division's Mirror Light Arts were not to be underestimated.

Thinking of this, a hint of killing intent inadvertently flashed in Luo Gongli's eyes.

Inspector Luo Jin was one of the more important collateral branches of the Luo Family, and he had a significant relationship with Prince An.

He never expected that one day, someone would dare to kill Inspector Luo Jin.

This was clearly a blatant insult to our Luo Family.

That damned scoundrel, daring to lay hands on our Luo Family, the Luo Family will absolutely not let him off.

“Your Majesty, your humble servants shall take their leave!”

“Granted!”

After the two of them left, the hall returned to its usual tranquility.

However, Xia Mingyue's expression gradually darkened.

Among the Eight Great Families, and the Dao Xu Sect and Jingxin Temple, it seems some people have begun to test Me.

As subjects of the Great Xia Dynasty, they showed no discretion just now, daring to make decisions for Me!

The Luo Family… Hmph!

When Xia Mingyue became angry, a terrifying pressure emanated within the hall.

But this pressure only appeared for a fleeting moment.

Xia Mingyue slightly turned her head, looking at another woman beside her.

The woman wore a pitch-black robe, appearing to be in her forties, but this did not diminish her astonishing charm.

And she was the leader of the Black Feather Guard, Shangguan Yuqing!

“Yuqing, how is the Black Feather Guard's investigation progressing?”
