My Evil Imperial Wife is Too Arrogant

Lou Mu Yan three returned to the inn they had booked in the Devil Capital and Lou Mu Bai and the others had been waiting for a long time.

Seeing that they returned safe and sound, they also breathed a sigh of relief.

“Yan’er, how’s it going? Have you found Shen Mu Feng?” Lou Mu Bai asked.

Lou Mu Yan nodded and said: “We not only found Shen Mu Feng, but also reached a cooperation with the Devil Lord.”

“That’s good, how is the matter with the Third Holy Maiden?” Lou Mu Bai heaved a sigh of relief.

Lou Mu Yan smiled and roughly explained what happened in the palace of the Devil Capital.

Ye Qing Han furrowed his brows subconsciously after hearing this, “Mu Yan, do you mean that the Western Sea King participated in the capture plan of the demons and devils?”

“Mm, I heard the conversation between the Third Holy Maiden and the Fox Queen, and it sounds like it.” Lou Mu Yan continued: “The Queen of the Fox Clan has been planning this for so long. If she can plant spies in the devils but didn’t do anything to the Human Realm and Sea Realm, then that wouldn’t be normal.”

“The ambition of the Western Sea King is really not small.” Ye Qing Han’s eyes turned cold, “The Western Sea has gradually declined over the years, but other sea regions have not ‘thrown stones at them who have fallen down a well’. They have always maintained such a situation among the Four Seas, but it’s them that can’t sit still any longer.”

Lou Mu Yan narrowed her eyes, thought about it, and said: “Then just let the Sea Realm be ruled by the Three Seas.”

The Western Sea used to do things secretly too, but those were matters of the Sea Realm and she wasn’t interested in intervening. However, now if the Western Sea had ambitions for the entire Guang’ling World or even harm it, then they couldn’t stand by and just watch.

The Western Sea should be prepared to be divided up after failure.

Ye Qing Han chuckled: “That’s a good idea. It saves us from having to guard against the Western Sea playing tricks. I’ll pass the news back to the Northern Sea.”

“Mm, I’ll also send a message to Lan Si to ask him to cooperate with the Northern Sea King and contact the Southern Sea King to nip the bud in the next two years. Whatever the case, the war among the Realms must not be allowed to happen.” Lou Mu Yan said.

If one wanted to be independent and have too much ambition, then they must be prepared to be punished, and the Western Sea King was an example.

She turned to look at Ming Xiu again and asked: “The Lan Clan is also involved in this matter, how are you going to deal with it?”

She only had a bad impression of the Lan Clan before, but she didn’t expect them to be so bold. This was a betrayal of the humans.

“The Lan Clan should’ve been in contact with the Queen of the Fox Clan for many years already. The death of my Empress Mother back then might have something to do with them.” Ming Xiu’s eyes turned cold.

He and Emperor Ming had pretty much finished investigating the matter of back then, and they were about to take action against the Lan Clan to begin with. Now it was even better, using the reason of rebellion will definitely make the Lan Clan unable to flip themselves over, and no one will say a single word of gossip.

“Then send a message to Emperor Ming and the Realm Master to explain in detail how the Lan Clan colluded with the devils and demons to attack the humans.” Lou Mu Yan emphasised the word ‘detail’.

As for how detailed, wasn’t it up to what they found out.

“Since the Lan Clan colluded with the Nine-Tailed Fox Queen, and they want to capture the continent in two years, under such urgency, the Lan Clan will definitely make a lot of preparations in the near future and will definitely reveal clues.”

She paused, then continued: “Ming Xiu, please ask Emperor Ming and the Realm Master to feel out the Lan Clan in secret. I just feel that the Nine-Tailed Fox Queen’s pawns in the Human Realm isn’t just the Lan Clan.”

“I also think so. In the Devil Realm, her pawn wants to seize the position of Devil Lord, and in the Sea Realm, she colluded with the Western Sea King, the forces are all rather large.”

Ming Xiu’s eyes darkened, and he continued: “If the Human Realm was just the Lan Clan, then it doesn’t make sense. Otherwise, even if war broke out, the Lan Clan wouldn’t be able to provide much help.”

Lou Mu Yan pondered for a moment, then suddenly raised her head and asked Ye Qing Han: “Qing Han, are there any special sea beasts or spirit pets in the Western Sea?”

“Yes, there’s a Sea Soul Beast. I heard that if you use rather extreme methods to raise them, their cultivation base will skyrocket, but the disadvantages will also be great. The Western Sea Royal Family should be raising many of them.” Ye Qing Han pursed his lips and said: “The formation of Sea Soul Beasts is even somewhat similar to Yin Beasts.”

The faces of the others changed when they heard his words. Thinking of the huge number of Unification Realm Yin Soul Beasts raised by the Devil Realm, they just felt that it was a thread.

“The Ancestor of the Lan Clan once obtained a secret skill to raise soul-type demonic beasts and was later heard to have lost it. I’m guessing it was just an excuse.” Ming Xiu revealed a serious expression on his face, “If this is the case, then it means that the Lan Clan has colluded with the Queen of the Fox Clan a millennium ago already.”

Lou Mu Yan furrowed her brows deeply, “Could the superiors of the Lan Clan be the same as the Third Holy Maiden? They’re actually pawns placed by the Queen of the Fox Clan among the humans, and it wasn’t that they colluded with each other later.”

She discovered that after connecting all the clues together, the Queen of the Fox Clan was more likely to have direct control on the Lan Clan, rather than it being a cooperative relationship.

“It’s very possible. It was precisely because my Empress Mother discovered some secrets back then that she was schemed against and killed. Maybe she discovered the secrets of the Lan Clan and the Queen of the Fox Clan.” Ming Xiu’s eyes revealed a bit of pain.

Lou Mu Yan asked in confusion: “Didn’t your Empress Mother die to save Emperor Ming?”

Was there something unknown behind this?

“Back then, my Emperor Father and Empress Mother were besieged by a group of mysterious people in a secret realm. What they wanted was to kill both of them together, but my Empress Mother used a spatial secret skill to save Emperor Father, while she, herself, blocked all the power of the sneak attack and died.” Ming Xiu clenched one hand tightly.

Lou Mu Yan also felt uncomfortable seeing Ming Xiu like this. She stretched out her hand to hold his fist, “Have all the identities of those mysterious people been found out? Is it that the secret your Empress Mother knew of wasn’t told in time?”

Ming Xiu held Lou Mu Yan’s warm palm, “We found out that those mysterious people were related to the Lan Clan, but we didn’t expect that there was someone behind them. But judging from the clues we have now, it’s very likely that it’s related to the Fox Clan’s Queen.”

He sighed and continued: “Empress Mother might’ve not been too certain after discovering the clues. She probably wanted to find out more before telling anyone, but she was discovered by the other party and plotted against, besieged and killed.”

Now he was more than fifty percent certain that his Empress Mother’s death may be related to the schemes of the Nine-Tailed Fox Queen.

After all, his Emperor Father was the human’s monarch. If he found that the Lan Clan and demons colluded in private, their plans in the human race might fail.

“Now might be the best time to find out the truth of that year. Since it’s related to the Lan Clan, then there should be a shadow of that woman behind it.” Lou Mu Yan also thought of what Ming Xiu was thinking about.

If it was really what they had guessed, then there would be a reason for the sudden assassination attempt of Ming Xiu’s Empress Father and Emperor Mother.

“Mm, it’s pretty certain it’s got to do with them. I will send our conjectures to Emperor Father.” There was a dark light and coldness in Ming Xiu’s eyes.

It was as if something flashed across Lou Mu Yan’s mind. Her eyes darkened and she said to Ming Xiu: “Please ask Emperor Ming and Realm Master to secretly investigate the Lan Clan, don’t let other forces know, and you can also investigate the Tamers Union while you’re at it.”

Ming Xiu’s eyes revealed some understanding, “Alright!”
