    Chapter 415 Master, you can't underestimate your disciple like this.

    The Emperor of Great Wei's attitude was sincere, making people feel exceptionally comfortable.

    Jing En nodded and said, "This is why this old monk is ready to brave any danger for the Emperor of Great Wei."

    Ruo Xi Baby looked at the old monk Jing En without saying a word, but the old monk immediately felt the baby's disdain.

    "As if no one knows you're actually here for Xiao Xi'er. Alright, monk, your skill of lying with your eyes open is quite impressive!"

    Ci Xin's words made everyone laugh.

    Ruo Xi Baby searched her space and finally found a small box, which she handed to her uncle.

    "This is a pill to heal meridians. Lan Xiaoyu indeed has damaged meridians. The person who attacked him deliberately severed his meridians!"

    Xiao Yin, hearing the baby's thoughts, looked at Lan Xiaoyu and asked, "Who injured you and threw you out of the Imperial City?"

    "Zhang Wen, my deputy. He took my position and became the general of the Western Yue City Defense Camp, the Grand General!" Lan Xiaoyu said.

    "Very well! I will avenge you!" Xiao Yin nodded.

    "Your Majesty, Emperor of Great Wei, please hurry and rescue the Witch Concubine. If not, she won't last much longer. Once she dies, we maids will surely suffer!" The maidservant knelt, kowtowing repeatedly.

    Xiao Yin and the others exchanged glances. They naturally knew that these maids were of low status, thrown into the cold palace because they were out of favor and had no backing, left to fend for themselves.

    Trapped, they watched as disfavored concubines entered daily. Those with a bit of compassion might still feel for those concubines.

    Otherwise, those concubines would only be destined to suffer abuse.

    They would take out their frustrations on those concubines, especially knowing that those concubines could never leave again.

    Many neglected concubines were also bullied by their superiors, and these maids saw the mistreatment of the abandoned concubines in the cold palace every day. They could choose to ignore it, but if the abandoned concubines died, especially under suspicious circumstances, these servants would be doomed.

    The emperor's dissatisfaction, the empress's and empress dowager's displeasure, would all be vented on them.

    They would inevitably meet their end.

    Moreover, they had seen too much of the process of abandoned concubines being bullied. The noble consorts were also afraid that they might betray them later, so they would kill them to silence them.

    A lowly maid from the cold palace might not even have her name in the palace records.

    Even if they died many years ago, it would be hard for anyone to remember them.

    "Get up. From today on, be careful in serving the Witch Concubine, but don't serve her too well. Just keep her alive!" Ci Xin said, then turned around, reached into the monk's chest, and took out a bag of silver. He handed the silver to the maid, saying, "You've seen the current situation. If you don't behave, we can take your life at any time."

    "Don't worry, sir, don't worry. This servant will definitely take good care of the Witch Concubine. This servant wouldn't mistreat the concubine in the cold palace anyway. Please rest assured!" Seeing the silver, the maid naturally wouldn't cause any trouble.

    Jing En took the old maid back, while Lan Xiaoyu arranged for his aunt and then followed Xiao Yin and the others.

    The group headed towards the border of Great Wei.

    Lan Xiaoyu took the pill given by Ruo Xi Baby and after sleeping for a while on the journey, he felt much lighter.

    Jing En's disguise skills were even more impressive, of course, the disguise ointment came from his master.

    He had a bag with a mustard seed space, packed with all kinds of treasures. Jing En believed his master was a fairy, undoubtedly sent from heaven, as the mustard seed space was filled with heavenly and earthly treasures.

    When they reached the border city, they discovered the war situation had already shifted.

    With the addition of Xiaoyue and Yuan Hui, the cities that were once lost to Great Wei had been pushed back quite a bit towards Xiyue.

    "Are the Xiyue soldiers really that tough?" Ci Xin looked at the soldiers and asked curiously.

    "They seem tireless!" Jing En also said.

    "They're all on some kind of stimulant, led by the Seven Colors Palace. That General Chen is the local leader of the Seven Colors Palace." Lan Xiaoyu pointed to a man on horseback in the distance and said.

    "General Lan, this is the military token. It can mobilize all the troops at our border. Go ahead and do your job." Xiao Yin handed a military token to Lan Xiaoyu and said.

    Lan Xiaoyu took the token and then nodded solemnly to the Emperor of Great Wei, tears in his eyes.

    Ruo Xi Baby watched, amazed. She knew her uncle not only understood the strategies of governing a country but also knew how to manipulate people's hearts.

    "Aren't we going back?" Jing En asked.

    "No, we're not going back. Monk, don't you get what the emperor's up to? Honestly, what kind of enlightened monk are you?" Ci Xin looked at him with some disdain.

    Ruo Xi Baby also thought the old man was getting dumber by the day.

    When Ci Xin spoke, Monk Jing En was still somewhat unconvinced, but when he saw his master sigh, his heart was completely broken.

    "Master, I just feel that Lan Xiaoyu might still be a loose cannon. He's holding a military token for a hundred thousand soldiers. If he acts recklessly..." Jing En expressed his concern.

    Ruo Xi Baby wasn't worried about this at all.

    Her uncle was a tyrant, after all. At this moment, simply relying on a military token to subdue his hundred thousand soldiers would naturally be impossible.

    "How dumb! My uncle isn't someone you can just control," Ruo Xi Baby couldn't help but want to roll her eyes at Jing En.

    Jing En stiffened, looking pitiful.

    "Master, don't underestimate me like that!" Jing En's whining made everyone feel speechless.

    Ruo Xi Baby ignored Jing En. She looked at her uncle, knowing that he had a better plan.

    Xiao Yin nodded, "We'll wait here. Giving him this authority, he'll understand my intentions. Besides, if he holds the command of a hundred thousand soldiers and doesn't know how to counterattack, then he's just a fool and of no use!"

    "Come on, Xiao Xi'er. You haven't met your third brother yet. Let's go find him. I heard that Ze'er has already arrived in Xiyue City!" Ci Xin said.

    "Yeah, it's been ages since I've seen Consort Zhen!" Xiao Yin nodded, holding Ruo Xi Baby, and marched off in another direction.
