Imperial Consort Lan waved his hand and firmly refused: ”No need, you don't have to worry about my safety. This is the Imperial Palace, what problems can there be?”

”But, this is the wilderness after all. Although the ferocious beasts have been driven away, we still have to be on guard against the insects …”

”When I came out, I had sprinkled on my body the powder sent by the Imperial Hospital to repel the mosquitoes. You don't have to say anymore. Being able to obtain the Star of God this time is of extraordinary importance to me.

Imperial Consort Lan's attitude was exceptionally resolute. This opportunity was extremely rare. It was related to the nurturing of the royal family, and it was also related to her future position in the heart of the Emperor.

Unable to persuade her otherwise, Begonia and Xi Yan looked at each other helplessly. They could only say: ”The Empress, by yourself, please be careful. The servants will be waiting for you at the foot of the mountain. ”

Walking up the stone stairs, passing by the suspension bridge, an hour later, Imperial Consort Lan was already standing on the small semi-circular plaza. She raised his hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead, and the back of his hand was stained with rouge that had been drenched in sweat.

”This …” Imperial Consort Lan was a little regretful that she had walked in the sun and spent her makeup to see Great Deity Official. It was really too disrespectful.

But this time, there was no time for her to go back, so she could only use the handkerchief to cover her face, revealing only a pair of eyes.

Under the blazing sun, the three-legged Golden Crow on the eaves of the palace seemed to come alive, becoming more and more majestic as it stood on the mountainside.

As he climbed the stairs, the boy called ”Sun Moon” stood in front of Star Palace. When he saw Imperial Consort Lan nod his head slightly, he did not greet him.

Imperial Consort Lan took a deep breath, then revealed the Star of God in her hands, ”Please inform Your Eminence, Imperial Consort Lan wishes to meet you.”

Sun Moon laughed: ”Greetings, Esteemed Empress Lan. Great Deity Official had long predicted that you would come today and specially ordered me to wait here. ”Quick, quickly, let's meet inside.” Pushing open a small door, he made a 'please' gesture.

”Thank you very much.” Usually, when Imperial Consort Lan walked in, he had only heard rumors of the various mystical aspects of Great Deity Official, but today, she had finally experienced it personally.

When she stepped into the room, she felt a slight resistance, but it did not hinder her entry. It was as if she had passed through an invisible membrane. Light and shadows quickly flashed before her eyes. After a strange trance, the scenery in front of him started to clear up.

What he saw was a table and a chair. The four walls were deserted.

Imperial Consort Lan walked in worriedly. This room gave off a strange feeling. It was obvious from the outside that the interior should not be so small. Especially for the four walls, they felt that they were illusory, and that a light touch might allow them to pass through the walls.

”Please don't touch it. Sit down.”

The sudden voice caused Imperial Consort Lan to retract her finger and look up. She was shocked to find that across the table, there was a muslin curtain and a vague shadow of a person sitting behind it.

”Magistrate...” ”Lord?”

was startled by the sudden appearance of the curtain and human figure. He sat down and probed as he stared at the man.

”In this Star Palace, other than me, is there anyone else?” Great Deity Official sat behind the curtain and laughed leisurely.

”It's my fault. Your Eminence, please do not blame me.” The Imperial Consort Lan lowered her head slightly, retracting her previous shocked expression and maintaining her concubine posture, she said calmly: ”It's just that the Your Eminence's here is extremely magical, there's a huge difference from what I imagined.”

”Oh? Then in the Empress's imagination, how does my Star Palace look like? ” Great Deity Official was curious.

Imperial Consort Lan did not answer, her face covered by a silk handkerchief. A smile appeared in her eyes, ”I heard that Your Eminence has a few rules. Every time you see someone with Star of God, you have to use a treasure to exchange them for an answer. But I do not know, what kind of answer will the Your Eminence give me in exchange for a question? ”

She was the Imperial Consort Lan, the favorite concubine in front of the emperor. The emperor not only liked her looks, but also her intelligence. Even if she was weak in front of the Great Deity Official, she had to seize every opportunity to turn the situation around.

With his identity as the Great Deity Official, and a person so noble that he was on par with the Emperor, if he were to display an ordinary appearance, he might even be perfunctory in taking over the Your Eminence.

She did not want to be perfunctory. She wanted the help that would definitely benefit her.

”I have long heard that the Esteemed Empress Lan is intelligent, intelligent and extraordinary. It is indeed true that I have seen it today.” The person behind the curtain laughed out loud, and extended a hand out from behind the curtain. Her palm moved up and slowly opened up in front of Imperial Consort Lan, ”How about I use this to exchange for the Empress's answer?”

Imperial Consort Lan looked down and saw that her hand was abnormally white, her fingers were thin, and were as soft as white porcelain. In his palm was a red pellet the size of an apricot core, but it was like a bloody wound on a snow porcelain.

Following the appearance of this pill, a seven-colored light seemed to fill the four walls of the sunken fighting room. A strange fragrance wafted into his nose. As he inhaled it, he felt refreshed and his whole body felt comfortable.

”This is a Small Face Preserving Pill. A single pill can save a person's looks for ten years.” I used ten years of my youth in exchange for your answer, how about it, Esteemed Empress Lan? ”
