Upon seeing Cheng Guang agree, Qiao Songshan’s face revealed a naïve smile, and he immediately got up, ready to bring Cheng Guang out of the residence.

“I’ve heard that Her Majesty, the Empress of Great Wei, will also be attending the martial arts competition.”
“It’s just a pity that the Empress of Great Wei has always been reluctant to show her face in front of others; every time she appears, her face is veiled, so even if she does come, it’s highly unlikely we’ll get to witness her grace.”
As he spoke, Qiao Songshan clicked his tongue in disappointment.
The Empress of Great Wei…
In recent days, Cheng Guang had often heard this name from the mouths of others.
He had not only heard it from Qiao Songshan but even from old Deng.
“Songshan, who is this Empress of Great Wei?”
Cheng Guang stood up and looked at Qiao Songshan.
Qiao Songshan looked slightly startled, “Big brother, you don’t know about the Empress of Great Wei?”
After speaking, he also smiled, “Well, that makes sense. You hardly leave your home, and when you do go out, it’s mostly to visit the brothel. You’re not usually concerned with affairs of the outside world.”
Motherfucker, if I didn’t know your character, I’d think you were being sarcastic.
Cheng Guang’s mouth twitched.
What does he mean by mostly going to brothels?
Wasn’t he enjoying the scenery along the way when he visited brothels?
“You tell me.”
Qiao Songshan thought for a moment, then seemed a bit conflicted, “The background of the Empress of Great Wei, simple yet complicated, which would you like to hear, the simple or the complex version?”
Suppressing the urge to punch Qiao Songshan, Cheng Guang said, “Just say what you know.”
Qiao Songshan nodded, “The Empress of Great Wei is the Empress of the Great Wei dynasty, oh, I mean, the Emperor’s woman.”
“You don’t need to elaborate that much; I’m not an idiot.”
Cheng Guang sighed, feeling anxious about Qiao Songshan’s intelligence.
How could Qiao Songshan’s dad, such a cunning man, produce such a simpleton?
Even dumber than Lin Cheng.
Unbelievable.
Qiao Songshan looked innocent.
“Isn’t that what you asked me to do, big brother?”
No more questions.
Diagnosed.
Cheng Guang said, “Continue.”
Qiao Songshan gave Cheng Guang a strange look and slowly began to speak.
He recounted all the big and small matters concerning the Empress of Great Wei; during which, Cheng Guang resisted the urge to shut him up and patiently listened to the end.
Simply put, the Empress of Great Wei was the woman currently controlling the power of Great Wei. The aging Emperor of Great Wei, three years ago, suddenly deposed the then Empress, the current Imperial Concubine Lin, and replaced her with Empress Wei, Yu Lu.
Starting from then, the Emperor of Great Wei retired behind the scenes, and the entire Court was controlled by Yu Lu; many of Great Wei’s loyal officials could not bear to see the land played by a woman and remonstrated to the point of death, but they were all crushed by Yu Lu’s iron-fisted methods.
The Court was bloodily purged, and any disobedient people or powers within and without the Court were cleanly erased.
It seems that Yu Lu isn’t very old.
Barely into her twenties.
Other people in their twenties become Empresses, possess mystical powers, suppress the Court, and dominate with one hand.
Meanwhile, at my age of twenty, I’m still playing a body double.
Motherfucker, it’s key that the Princely Heir can’t be killed yet, because if he dies now, with celestial phenomena occurring, there will be no way to explain it.
Cheng Guang still needed to think of a way to see if there was anything that could block the phenomena without anyone noticing, and quietly kill the Princely Heir.
Perhaps the reward from this system task, Nine Dragons Stealing Sky, might be able to do just that.
Powerful prohibitions are not only capable of restricting certain behaviors, but they can also isolate an area of space. The phenomena that would arise from killing the Princely Heir might be shielded as well.
Lost in thought, Cheng Guang followed Qiao Songshan out of the residence.
The banquet hosted by the Great Wei envoys was located at Thousand Taste House.
Thousand Taste House was a large estate; outside its doors were White Jade Ancient Beast Statues, one on each side.
The wide and tall gate was inlaid with ancient and exquisite copper nails and beast pattern decorations.
From its exterior alone, one could sense the grandiosity of Thousand Taste House.
At this moment, many carriages were stationed outside Thousand Taste House; many were adorned with flags bearing Wei Country’s insignia. A Jade Carriage at the head of these caught Cheng Guang’s attention.
That Jade Carriage sat there quietly.
It was made from top-quality ebony, with the body intricately carved with dragon and phoenix patterns, every detail exuding a sense of nobility and majesty.
The wheels solidly pressed against the cobblestone pathway, conveying a sense of solidity and dependability.
On the carriage’s roof, adorned with gold tassels, swayed gently in the breeze as if a Guard of Honour for a sovereign, patrolling its territory.
The six horses drawing the carriage were not ordinary steeds, but rather, they possessed a mysterious and profound aura.
With strong builds and sleek lines, their bodies were covered in a layer of black manes, like dark sprites from molten lava, wild yet mysterious.
Their hooves struck the ground, sparking flames and proving that these horses bore the bloodlines of Exotic Beasts.
In some respects,
These horses were no less powerful than his Dragon Horned Horse.
And here there were six of them at once.
Who was the owner of this foremost carriage?
Cheng Guang recalled what Qiao Songshan had mentioned in passing, that Empress Wei would also attend the event. Could the person inside this carriage be her?
Cheng Guang felt this was highly probable.
Apart from Empress Wei, no one else could command such a grand spectacle.
Cheng Guang lowered his eyelids, no longer looking towards that carriage.
“Big brother, aren’t we going inside to take a look?” Qiao Songshan, seeing Cheng Guang standing still and staring at a carriage in a daze, thought he didn’t want to go in anymore.
