Chapter 993 -992: Mother Gets Younger and More Beautiful_1
She went over to Heidou, bent down to grab his pants leg, and with a strong tug, pulled down his cotton pants.
“Hehe, thank you Brother Yixuan.”
Heidou chuckled foolishly twice, deftly put on his cotton pants and, facing Li Xiu’e’s back, pulled a funny face.
You! Go wash your face quickly.”
Lin Qingluo happened to see it and flicked her finger on his brow.
“Hehe, I’m going.”
Heidou touched his forehead awkwardly and scurried out of the living room in a flash.
Li Xiu’e laughed in exasperation: “He’s only seven or eight years old, but he acts like a naughty little brat.”
Lin Qingluo joked with a smile: “Having younger brothers and sisters to accompany Mother, you laugh every day and seem to be getting younger.”
“You, with your clever tongue, you are always able to cheer people up.”
Li Xiu’e was delighted and her eyebrows curved in a smile.

With the company of his childhood friends, Lin Yixuan’s mood had improved significantly. He no longer secretly wiped away tears whenever he thought of the Empress, and his face gradually showed a smile.
Lin Qingluo felt somewhat relieved, went to her room alone, sat cross-legged on the bed, spread her consciousness, and gradually enveloped the entire Imperial Palace within it.
Imperial Palace, Hall of Peaceful Harmony.
Princess Duanhui, dressed in mourning clothes, was kneeling on the left side of the Empress’s coffin in a proper manner.
The civil and military officials who came to pay their respects entered the hall one after another, kowtowed three times in front of the coffin, and quietly exited the hall.
Lu Gui and Lu Fu stood outside the hall, looking down at the civil and military officials who were climbing the steps. They seemed sorrowful but were actually smug. The contempt in their eyes was obvious.
“A nobody has come to power.”
Standing on the other side of the hall were the Three Great Commanders of the Imperial Court. Xu Ruyun snorted dismissively through her nostrils.
Mu Fangyun’s face was dark: “The Imperial Succession Jade Seal is missing. Without the decree for succession, even if the Crown Princess ascends the throne, her position would not be legitimate. So, what do they have to be so smug about?”
Xiao Wei’s thoughts were different, her eyebrows furrowed: “Since the Empress passed away, the accumulated memorials have piled up like a small mountain. Disasters are happening everywhere, people are struggling to survive and desperately in need of the government’s relief. Without the jade seal, it will be impossible to issue an order. What should we do?”
“The Crown Princess is young, and the court is in the hands of treacherous ministers.” 𝓃𝓸𝓋𝓹𝓾𝓫.𝒸ℴ𝓶
Xu Ruyun cast a sidelong glance at Lu Gui and Lu Fu, implying: “Even if the jade seal hadn’t been lost, the disaster victims wouldn’t have received relief. The jade seal would only become a tool for unscrupulous villains to seize power, eliminate dissidents, and benefit themselves.”
“Sigh.”
Xiao Wei’s heart sank as she took a deep breath: “The Crown Princess is young, treacherous ministers are in control, the kingdom is in disarray, and the Fengqi is in danger.”

“Master, the birds have found a very suspicious person.”
Little Kingfisher flew back from outside, interrupting her Master’s spiritual investigation.
“Who is it?”
Lin Qingluo withdrew her consciousness, opened her eyes, and looked affectionately at her little pet.
“A cultivator.”
Little Kingfisher was a little excited: “He might be the Beiqi State Preceptor hiding in the Capital City.”
“Where is he?”
Lin Qingluo’s eyes darkened, anger surging up.
“Drunken Fragrance Pavilion.”
Little Kingfisher answered honestly and added an explanation: “Capital City’s most famous nightlife spot.”
“Ahem.”
Lin Qingluo coughed awkwardly, feeling extremely frustrated.
“Master, don’t miss this opportunity because it might not come again.”
Little Kingfisher rolled its eyes and slyly urged: “This person is good at hiding his figure, and it was not easy for the birds to find his whereabouts. If we miss this chance, it will be difficult to find him again.”
Lin Qingluo pondered with a furrowed brow: “Think of a way to lure him out.”
“Alright.”
Little Kingfisher quickly agreed: “Yin’er will set a fire and burn down the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion.”
