Fantasy: My Wife is the Empress, and Our Cute Kids Wreak Havoc in the Nine Provinces – Chapter 363

Chapter 363: The Empress Imprisons Mother, It’s Only Fair to Empty Her Treasury

“Why not just take action directly?”

Back in Long Province, a half-step Martial God asked with a frown.

Long Yusheng said in a deep voice, “The empire already has a new Guardian Deity. That’s a true Martial God. With just the few of us, wouldn’t attacking directly there be suicide?”

“It’s just a Martial God from the lower realm. In the God Realm, that’s equivalent to the lowest level Divine Disciple. Although our realms are suppressed to half-step Divine Disciple after descending to the lower realm due to the influence of the Heavenly Dao, in the God Realm, we are all true Celestial Gods. How can a mere Divine Disciple from the lower realm compare to us in terms of combat experience and combat power?”

“Moreover, we said that the three of us working together can even fight a Divine Disciple from the God Realm, let alone a Martial God from the lower realm.”

The other two half-step Martial Gods also said with some dissatisfaction.

“What you said applies to ordinary Martial Gods. It might be fine in other places, but not in the Imperial Capital.”

Long Yusheng shook his head and said, “That Empress has the Imperial Seal and can mobilize the power of the dragon veins and the national fortune. If she joins forces with that Guardian Deity, it will be difficult for the three of you to win even if you work together.”

Upon hearing this, the three fell silent.

They had felt the oppressive power of the Imperial Seal in the Imperial Capital’s training ground before. It was indeed very powerful.

According to the upper realm, this so-called power of the dragon veins and national fortune is equivalent to mobilizing the energy of the entire world. It is indeed very powerful.

Long Yusheng glanced at the three and said, “Focus on cultivating my son. He has great talent and will surpass me in the future. As for attacking the Middle Province and rescuing the Ancient Blood Demon, let Yun Zhou and Huo Zhou go first. Also, tell them not to be greedy for merit and advance rashly. Their mission is not to actually invade the Middle Province and rescue the Blood Demon, but to tie down the Middle Province and deplete its strength. The Ancient Secret Realm is about to open. After I break through to the Martial God realm in the Ancient Secret Realm, we will launch a full-scale attack on the Middle Province.”

“Alright!”

The three half-step Martial Gods thought for a moment and finally nodded.

If Long Yusheng could break through to the Martial God realm in the Ancient Secret Realm, their plan would have a greater chance of success.

Moreover, Long Shaotian was indeed exceptionally talented, having actually comprehended the Blood Buddha. If they could help him become a true Blood Buddha, he would be almost invincible in this lower realm. At that time, the chances of rescuing the Ancient Blood Demon Prince would be even greater.

However, before that, they had to find a way to get rid of those two brats.

“Halt. This is the Imperial Palace. Entry is forbidden without permission. If you wish to select treasures, you must have Her Majesty’s decree.”

Outside the Imperial Treasury, a Martial Emperor stopped the group.

The Imperial Treasury belonged to the empire. Even though Long Yufei was the only princess of the Nine Provinces Empire, she could not enter without authorization.

Long Yufei turned to Chu Xin and said, “Little one, take out your token.”

“Oh.”

Chu Xin nodded and took out the Golden Dragon Token.

“The Golden Dragon Token?”

The Martial Emperor guarding the Imperial Treasury looked surprised. He then bowed to Chu Xin and opened the restriction on the Imperial Treasury for everyone.

“Let’s go.”

Long Yufei smiled slightly and led Chu Xin and the others into the treasury. She said, “The Imperial Treasury has nine levels. According to the agreement between my sister and you, you can choose freely. Ye Hongxue, you can also choose a few items.”

“Yes, Your Highness.”

Ye Hongxue nodded. She wandered around the treasury for a long time and chose a close-fitting soft armor and a half-step Emperor Weapon level sword.

Chu Xin and Chu Chen wandered around the treasury, whispering to each other.

“Big Sister, the Imperial Treasury has so many treasures, even more than the Sacred Grounds.”

Chu Chen was dazzled. His big, round eyes sparkled with excitement. “Let’s empty the entire Imperial Treasury. That way, Her Majesty the Empress will definitely be very angry and might lock us up in the Imperial Prison.”

Pa!

“Stupid Brother, I have this. I don’t need to anger Her Majesty the Empress.”

Chu Xin waved the Golden Dragon Token in her hand, looking proud.

“Oh, right. I almost forgot.”

Chu Chen scratched his head.

“However, that doesn’t stop us from emptying the treasury.”

Chu Xin suddenly changed the subject and said with a grin, “Her Majesty the Empress already said we can choose freely, so it’s only fair for us to empty the treasury.”

“Fair.” Chu Chen nodded in agreement.

“Moreover, Her Majesty the Empress imprisoned our mother. It’s only fair for us to empty her treasury as revenge for Mother, right?” Chu Xin added.

◈◈◈

“Very fair.” Chu Chen nodded repeatedly.

If it weren’t for Long Yufei, they would have emptied the entire Imperial Palace of all its treasures. Emptying just one treasury was already being very generous.

“Wait for me to set up an illusion formation.”

Chu Xin took out an Emperor-level illusion formation stone and threw it down. A huge illusion formation instantly enveloped the Imperial Treasury.

“Split up.”

Then, she waved her fair little hand, and the two siblings went left and right, starting to collect the treasures in the Imperial Treasury.

They waved their little hands continuously, like locusts passing through, taking all the treasures wherever they went, leaving nothing behind.

After collecting the treasures on the first level, they went up to the second and third levels.

It took them about a quarter of an hour to completely ransack all nine levels of the treasury.

“Auntie Long, we’ve finished choosing. Let’s go.”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen came to Long Yufei and said with a grin.

“Alright.”

Long Yufei nodded. After leading everyone out of the Imperial Treasury, she said, “Ai Chirou, Ai Kaorou, you are now officially my adopted daughter and son. Come and stay at my palace for now.”

She thought about letting the two children stay in the palace. After she told her sister about their identities, it would be easier for her sister to see them.

“Okay.”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen nodded in unison.

They also wanted to stay in the Imperial Palace, as it would be easier to get to the Imperial Prison.

“In that case, I’ll take my leave.”

Ye Hongxue bowed to Long Yufei and then looked at Chu Xin and Chu Chen, reminding them, “Ai Chirou, Ai Kaorou, the Imperial Palace is not like the outside world. Don’t run around.”

“We know, Auntie Ye.”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen replied obediently.

“Come with me.”

Long Yufei took the two siblings to her Yu Palace. After instructing the maids to take good care of them, she left alone to meet Long Yurou.

Thinking about revealing the children’s identities to her sister soon, she felt excited, and her steps unconsciously quickened.

However, when she arrived at Long Yurou’s bedchamber, she was told that the Empress had gone to the Martial God Mansion. She could only wait in the side hall.

Meanwhile, in Yu Palace, Chu Xin found a maid and took out her Golden Dragon Token, asking, “Pretty Big Sister, do you recognize this?”

The maid took one look and fell to her knees with a thud, saying respectfully, “The Golden Dragon Token. Seeing the token is like seeing Her Majesty. Except for Her Majesty’s bedchamber and the Martial God Mansion, you can go anywhere in the Imperial Palace.”

It really works!

Chu Xin was delighted. She said, “In that case, can Pretty Big Sister take us to the Imperial Prison?”

“Huh?”

The maid was stunned and asked in confusion, “The Imperial Prison is where the empire detains criminals. It’s dark and dirty. The Princess and the Young Master are of noble status. Why would you want to go to such a place?”

Chu Xin’s eyes darted around, and she said, “It’s our first time in the Imperial Palace, and we’ve never seen the Imperial Prison before. We want to take a look. Don’t worry, you don’t have to take us inside. Just take us to the entrance of the Imperial Prison.”

“This!”

The maid hesitated, but she remembered that the princess had instructed them not to stop the Little Princess and Little Young Master from doing anything. Thinking of this, she nodded and said, “Alright then.”

“Great, thank you, Pretty Big Sister.”

Chu Xin and Chu Chen cheered, then followed the maid out of Yu Palace and towards the Imperial Prison.
