He was startled and quickly questioned. Concubine Jian, too, felt her heart pound; she hastily placed the Emperor on the bed and knelt, begging Xu Xing for mercy. Although Xu Xing's current attire wasn't that of an assassin, his actions were no different.
"Cao Xing... Yang Valley..." Xu Xing recited the magic spell to restrain Concubine Jian and the Emperor. He then used a Soul Curse to make the Emperor dispatch him, an Imperial Bodyguard, to Yang Valley on an assignment. He hadn't forgotten that his reincarnated body, "Cao Xing," had been sent by the underworld gods of this world. To leave the Imperial Palace, he needed a suitable reason, otherwise, he would easily arouse the suspicion of this world's underworld gods.
"Yes, I (the Emperor) remember," the Adolescent Emperor mumbled, his eyes dazed. He nodded and then fell into a deep sleep.
「Next.」
「Three days later.」
