“This concubine greets Your Majesty!”
Wu Liniang waited for a long time, but received no response from Emperor Liang Sheng. Her moist eyes couldn't help but glance forward.
In an instant, Wu Liniang saw Emperor Liang Sheng's piercing gaze, as if it could penetrate one's soul.
It was true, he seemed to be able to see right through her!
Wu Liniang felt as if the Shu brocade on her body had become the Emperor's New Clothes.
Wu Liniang instantly felt her blood rush, and her duck-egg-shaped cheeks were flushed red.
Emperor Liang Sheng found it amusing to watch, and also felt a little fire in his heart.
It's been a long time, old friend.
Since Emperor Liang Sheng transmigrated to the Tianlong Continent and established the Great Liang Empire, it wasn't as if he hadn't had a period of romantic escapades.
However, time makes one old, and youth doesn't last forever.
But now, Emperor Liang Sheng felt as if he had become young again.
“Your Majesty, ~”
Facing Emperor Liang Sheng's aggressive gaze, Wu Liniang felt her legs go weak, and her voice couldn't help but tremble slightly.
“Hmm, rise,” Emperor Liang Sheng nodded in satisfaction.
Although this woman, Wu Liniang, was offered to him by General Zhang Tianbao in order to gain power.
However, to keep such a beauty in the deep palace was truly a waste of natural resources.
“Come here!”
Seeing Wu Liniang stand up, her slender figure, Emperor Liang Sheng became even more satisfied.
He directly patted the dragon throne, signaling Wu Liniang to come up herself.

At the same time, Grand Eunuch Wei Zhongxian had also sent people to quietly keep an eye on Han Feiyu and others from the Red Immortal Sect at the Ministry of Rites reception area.
“Senior Brother, why were you so afraid of that Old Emperor just now?”
Wang Li had a naive, inexperienced air about her. Faced with such a foolish question, Han Feiyu frowned. He was wary of her identity, yet he couldn't refuse to answer.
“Junior Sister, it's not that Senior Brother was afraid of that Old Emperor; it's just that there was no need to be,” Han Feiyu waved his hand, dismissing the other outer disciples.
Only then did he continue, “Our descent from the mountain this time was by order of the sect, to test the Great Liang Empire, not truly to support that Zhang Tianbao!”
“Now, we have already witnessed the power of that Old Emperor, and our sect's mission is considered complete.”
“So why take the risk? Why make our junior brothers and sisters fight to the death?”
Hearing Han Feiyu say this, Wang Li immediately felt that Senior Brother Han still cared about her.
Therefore, Wang Li didn't think much more about it.
Instead, she asked why Emperor Liang Sheng seemed to know their previous sect master.
Han Feiyu glanced at Wang Li with a hint of surprise, feeling that the granddaughter of the Grand Elder shouldn't be unaware of this.
Helpless, he could only explain it again.
Wang Li was instantly shocked. “What? That Old Emperor's legend is actually true?”
“Then why would the sect master still want us to provoke him?”
After Han Feiyu's reminder, Wang Li also recalled the rumors about Emperor Liang Sheng slaughtering 50,000 imperial guards during the founding of the empire.
At this moment, she felt there was a great conspiracy within this sect mission.
“Senior Brother, could it be that Sect Master Yuwen wants to use this opportunity to eliminate dissenters?”
As soon as Wang Li's not-so-large brain started working, she immediately uttered a shocking statement.
Han Feiyu felt fortunate that he had just driven out the outer disciples.
Otherwise, if word got out when they returned to the sect, it would cause great trouble.
This Wang Li was protected by the Grand Elder, so perhaps nothing major would happen to her, but he, Han Feiyu, was different.
While Wang Li and Han Feiyu were discussing the sect's secrets, they didn't notice that this reception area in the Ministry of Rites was equipped with special sound transmission devices hidden within its decorations.
A string telephone!
Placed between the beams, it used the rafters to transmit sound.
Emperor Liang Sheng had created it.
Because it involved neither martial arts true qi nor immortal cultivation spiritual qi.
Therefore, even if it were detected by divine sense or similar means,
No abnormality would be found.
Just outside this reception area, in another room.
Three young eunuchs meticulously recorded everything they heard about the Red Immortal Sect, making three copies.
For verification!
Rewind time by a quarter of an hour.
The moment Han Feiyu drove the outer disciples of the Red Immortal Sect out of the room, one of the disciples, with thick eyebrows, large eyes, and very developed pectoral muscles—clearly a body cultivator—used the excuse of being frightened that day.
He chose a room in advance and went back to rest.
The other outer disciples didn't pay him any mind.
They just ridiculed him for being a coward.
And, at three quarters past midnight, when the night was deep and quiet,
That disciple with thick eyebrows, large eyes, and very developed pectoral muscles, concealed his tracks and flew out of the Ministry of Rites reception area.
“Factory Guard!”
After discerning the direction of the Great Liang Empire's capital, this person immediately headed straight for the East and West Factories, which were directly managed by Wei Zhongxian!
“Your Majesty, you are too much; this concubine can't take it anymore!”
In the Hall of the Son of Heaven, Wu Liniang initially endured, but soon couldn't help but begin to beg for mercy.
Emperor Liang Sheng wouldn't care about such things.
It had been decades since he had a day like this.
Now, having finally had another chance, how could Emperor Liang Sheng easily let it go?
Especially the person before him, who was truly enchanting beyond human limits!
If Emperor Liang Sheng weren't truly invincible, he might not even be a match.
Wu Liniang looked up at the coiled dragon on the ceiling of the hall, and out of the corner of her eye, she couldn't help but see the beautiful young palace maid who had entered with her.
Zhang Chunhua's cheeks were already flushed crimson.
It was clearly agreed that she would be sent out of the palace, so why did things change as soon as they entered?
Zhang Chunhua's legs were also weak now.
Wu Liniang, however, seemed to have found a lifesaver.
“Your Majesty, this concubine also has a younger sister, who is just~”
“Wait!”
Emperor Liang Sheng was currently galloping on horseback and didn't want to stop.
Outside the main hall, Wei Zhongxian, however, received two important pieces of news, one after the other.
Facing these two pieces of news, Wei Zhongxian knew the matter was of great importance.
Although it was not the right time, and he dared not disturb Emperor Liang Sheng.
But, thinking about how it concerned the Red Immortal Sect, and that Emperor Liang Sheng had specifically ordered him to keep an eye on them.
Wei Zhongxian could only bravely shout from outside the main hall.
“Your Majesty, there is news from the Red Immortal Sect.”
“Hmm?”
Emperor Liang Sheng couldn't help but frown.
It was at this moment, of all times.
Alas! Forget it!
He couldn't delay state affairs, could he?
Emperor Liang Sheng quickly finished the battle, once again sending Wu Liniang to the peak.
Then he pointed at the beautiful young palace maid who had witnessed the entire process from the side.
“Come here!”
The young palace maid, Zhang Chunhua, didn't understand why but dared not refuse, so she could only shuffle over step by step.
Immediately, while Wu Liniang's eyes were still unfocused, she was pressed by Emperor Liang Sheng to clean the stains!
After he was done, Emperor Liang Sheng ignored the young palace maid's tearful and wronged gaze and went directly to the front hall to listen to Wei Zhongxian's report.
“Mmm, mmm!”
As soon as Zhang Chunhua saw Emperor Liang Sheng leave, she could no longer hold back and immediately burst into tears!
But it was better not to cry; once she started crying, she felt even more disgusted!
Wu Liniang was also greatly enlightened at this moment, feeling utterly mortified!
Yet she had no choice but to comfort this younger sister!
At the same time, Emperor Liang Sheng also heard the two pieces of news concerning the Red Immortal Sect.
“The daughter of the previous sect master?”
