[Although he had lost in the battle with Chen Qianxue, his status as the Crown Prince still made many officials have a good impression of him.]
[Age 152, in the Imperial Court, there were once again several different factions. These people usually argued with each other. Chen Qianxue, who saw all of this, felt helpless, but there was nothing she could do. She could only use magic to deal with magic.]
[Chen Qianxue sighed. With this group of insects, it would be a miracle if the Great Wei Dynasty did not decline! ]
[Age 154, Chen Qianxue once again fought with the Crown Prince of Great Wei several times. This time, she had the upper hand most of the time.]
[The fight between the two could not be hidden from Chen Fengyin, the emperor of Great Wei.]
[Chen Fengyin did not intervene.]
[The relationship between this pair of siblings, whose age difference was not ordinary, deteriorated day by day.]
[Age 158, Chen Qianxue prepared a large amount of Immortal cultivation resources, preparing to break through to the second level of the Golden Core stage!]
[Success!]
[Chen Qianxue has broken through to the second level of the Golden Core stage!]
[Age 161, an overseas foreign country that does not share a border with the Great Wei Dynasty received news from God knows where that the Great Wei Dynasty and the Great Yu Dynasty had a battle with an ancient demon 30 years ago, and both dynasties suffered heavy losses.]
[The ambitious overseas foreign country is actually preparing to take advantage of this opportunity to sneak in. Thousands of foreign Immortal cultivators have sneaked into the coastal areas of the Great Wei, causing a large number of burning, killing, and pillaging incidents. The civilian population has suffered heavy casualties.]
[Chen Fengyin is furious!]
[The Crown Prince of the Great Wei has actually personally volunteered for the first time, wanting to head to the coastal areas of the Great Wei to resist the foreign invasion! At the same time, he threatened to make the foreign Immortal cultivators who invaded the Great Wei pay a heavy price.]
[Chen Fengyin is very satisfied with the attitude of the Crown Prince of the Great Wei. He has agreed to the invitation of the Crown Prince of the Great Wei.]

“Your Highness, if you allow the Crown Prince to obtain a large amount of merit in this incident, I’m afraid that all the advantages you’ve built up over the years will be for naught. Because some of the fence-sitters in the court will think that the Crown Prince is still that Crown Prince. There will definitely be many of them who will turn to the Crown Prince’s side.”
An old official said earnestly to Chen Qianxue, “Your Highness, as a woman, it is not easy for you to compete with the Crown Prince. You must not give the Crown Prince any chance to gain an advantage in the game!”
“Otherwise, the Crown Prince will turn the tables in one fell swoop. Your Highness, if you want to suppress him again, it will be as difficult as ascending to the Heavens.”
This old official was already on Chen Qianxue’s side.
This old official even firmly believed that Chen Qianxue had the chance to become the Crown Prince of the Great Wei Dynasty as a woman!
Therefore, s
he spared no expense to interfere in the game between the royal family’s disciples.
He had to stand on Chen Qianxue’s side. He had to give her advice.
“What if it’s a trap?” Chen Qianxue could not help but frown, she said, “My eldest brother might use this opportunity to let me leave the Imperial City. Without father outside the Imperial City, his sharp fangs would be exposed.”
The old official pondered for a moment and said, “Your Highness, if this is a trap, then it means… that this is a plot specially arranged by the Crown Prince! Your Highness can only take the plot head-on.”
“If Your Highness takes it head on, perhaps there is still a chance to stop the Crown Prince. If you avoid it, then the Crown Prince’s rising momentum…”
“Your Highness, I’m afraid you can’t stop it.”
Chen Qianxue was silent for a few breaths. She roughly knew that this was a scheme.
Reason told her that it was best not to move like a mountain, lest she fall into a trap.
Outside the Imperial City, once she fell into a passive situation, it would not be good.
The problem was that sometimes being cautious would only avoid trouble in front of one’s eyes, but it would cause more trouble in the future.
When the Great Wei Crown Prince was at his peak, she had used up all her tricks and cooperated with Qin Jiao and Fu Shuangni to finally take him down.
If she let him recover to his peak, she would not have Qin Jiao by her side and Fu Shuangni by her side.
How should she deal with him?
With a few courtiers on her side? And a bunch of fence-sitters?
“Whew!”
Chen Qianxue slowly let out a breath. Her beautiful eyes flashed with determination as she said in a cold tone, “When we go to court tomorrow, I will also ask father to help us deal with the foreign invaders.”
“Lord Hu, please help me contact some Immortal cultivation sects, especially the Nascent Soul stage experts in those sects.”
Chen Qianxue paused for a moment, under the puzzled gaze of this old subject.
She continued, “I have in my hand the cultivation techniques left behind by the ancient demon in the cave abode. Among them is Daoist Blood Lotus’s experience manual on breaking through to the Soul Formation stage step by step. I think they will be very interested in this manual.”
“My request is quite simple. They only need to protect me in the dark for five years. After five years, I will give this manual to them as a reward.”
The old official was dumbfounded.
Was Her Highness being overly cautious? He knew that there was a Nascent Soul Secret Guard protecting Her Highness.
Was that not enough?
How many more Nascent Soul stage cultivators did Her Highness have to invite? And she even took out the handwritten letter of the ancient demon’s experience in breaking through to the Soul Formation stage?
Hiss!
