  If the old man heard the Sixth Prince's words, I wonder what he would think. Even the Second Prince, who is far-sighted and has a deep understanding of the situation, gave such a high evaluation to the Sixth Prince, who was considered a waste product. How could the Sixth Prince, who was once considered useless, have the ability to influence the throne?

  The Forbidden City's Wenyuan Pavilion, the emperor's private library.

  In the palace, there is a saying that goes like this: "Baojuan Palace, the emperor's bedroom." The meaning of this phrase is that Emperor Lie Xuefeng spent more time in Baojuan Palace than anywhere else, and it was almost his bedroom. The name Baojuan Palace means "to read extensively". In Baojuan Palace, various books from the Longxuan Continent are collected. Lie Xuefeng often spent years reading extensively in Baojuan Palace, even getting sleepy while reading books, so he would sleep right there in the palace. Therefore, this place is heavily guarded, and the palace maids and eunuchs who enter and exit are all strictly selected.

  Inside the Baoyue Palace, the lights were bright and shining, reflecting the golden splendor of the house. On the dragon chair in the palace sat a middle-aged man wearing a dragon robe, with a stern face and temples frosted with age. His right hand held a bamboo slip, but his eyes did not fall on the slip, instead gazing forward, lost in thought about something.

  He is Lie Feng Empire Emperor Lie Feng Huo, known as the Dragon String Continent's one-generation king, Lie Feng Huo.

  Lie Xue Feng had read countless books of poetry in his lifetime, and at a young age he joined the army. His military achievements were outstanding, and his name shook the Dragon String Continent. He made great contributions to the consolidation of the Lie Feng Empire, and after ascending to the throne, Lie Xue Feng's wise and powerful governance strategy led the Lie Feng Empire to become increasingly prosperous, with a tendency to become the number one country on the Dragon String Continent.

  Standing beside Lie Feng was a nearly sixty-year-old man with a ruddy complexion and a head full of white hair. This old man's name was Lu Zhanguo, and in the imperial palace, he was known as Old Man Lu. Those who harbored resentment towards him secretly referred to him as Eunuch Lu. However, if one were to mention Lu Zhanguo's name thirty years ago, it would evoke a different image - that of a great killing god from the neighboring countries surrounding Lie Feng Empire. Back then, when Lie Feng was young and first joined the military, he was the first fierce general. Who could have imagined that the once-mighty General Lu had now become an old man in his sixties, serving as a loyal and devoted servant by Lie Feng's side?

  "Your Majesty, are you thinking about the Sixth Prince again?" Lu Zhanguo asked softly, looking at Liehuo Feng who was deep in thought.

  If it were an ordinary person, they would have been beheaded for disturbing Liehuo Feng's contemplation. But Lü Zhàn Guó was an exception. Liehuo Feng let out a sigh and regained his composure, looking at Lü Zhàn Guó with concern in his eyes: "Yes, if Old Six continues to be so downcast, what can be done?" The mighty ruler who commanded the winds and clouds, Liehuo Feng, was after all just an ordinary person.

  "Eh, after the death of the previous emperor, Lao Liu seems to have changed into a different person. The old Lao Liu who was once full of confidence and vigor... now..." Lie Xue Feng sighed heavily, as if he had aged a lot in this moment.

  Lu Zhanguo's eyes flickered, and his heart was also extremely helpless. Lie Teng was someone he had watched grow up, witnessing him create miracle after miracle in the Dragon String Continent. A 16-year-old innate peak expert, this was enough to make those who claimed to be geniuses in the Dragon String Continent feel ashamed. But now, he had become a useless waste, and this contrast made Lu Zhanguo unable to accept it as well.

  "Your Majesty, the Sixth Prince became like this after the previous Emperor's ascension to heaven. Wasn't he affected by the previous Emperor's passing?" Lu Zhancheng asked in puzzlement.

  Lieutenant General nodded and sighed, "Lao Liu was brought up by the previous emperor himself, his martial arts were also personally taught by the previous emperor. Lao Liu had a very deep affection for the previous emperor. The previous emperor's passing has dealt a severe blow to Lao Liu."

  "However, Your Majesty, from the information I obtained from Lao Nu, it seems that the Sixth Prince may have seen through the vicissitudes of life for decades and has a mind to seek the path of immortality." Ruzhanguo sighed.

  "The path of immortality? The previous emperor was also seeking the path of immortality. In the past, countless generals were sent to search for the method of immortality on the Dragon String Continent, but they couldn't find the true method of immortality even after a lifetime of searching. In the end, all the methods of immortality that were deceitful and false were burned, which finally extinguished the desire for immortality. I hope Old Six can come out soon, after all, immortality is just an illusory thing.

  Liu Zhui sighed, as a generation of emperors, how could he not want to seek the method of immortality? Eternal life and invincibility? Since ancient times, how many emperors have been seeking the method of immortality? But there is no record of anyone succeeding. Immortality only exists in legend, or perhaps it doesn't exist at all, it's just a longing in the hearts of ordinary people."

  In fact, after Lie Xue Feng ascended to the throne, he also indulged in the brevity of life, just like the previous emperor, and sent generals to collect methods for cultivating immortality. However, in the end, it still ended in failure. Although many sects recorded the existence of immortals who could turn their hands into clouds and cover them with rain, no one had ever seen them personally, nor had they heard any rumors about the whereabouts of these immortals. Over time, Lie Xue Feng's desire to cultivate immortality also dissipated.

  "Perhaps... there are immortals in the world, but they just don't want us mortals to know." Lie Xuan Feng suddenly sighed, his majestic face filled with resentment towards fate. Although he was a great emperor, he could only be an emperor after all.

  Lu Zhanguo's face was stunned for a moment, and he let out a sigh.

  Deep within the palace.

  Lieteng slowly opened his eyes from meditation, a hint of fatigue on his face. He gazed blankly ahead and muttered to himself: "Still not working... Could it be that this song doesn't have any other meaning, just a simple song?" After washing up, Lieteng walked out of the courtyard, where the sun was already high in the sky. He looked up at the sky, squinting his eyes, thinking to himself: "It's been a long time since I've heard Liuying play." Immediately, Lieteng quickened his pace towards Huadu.

  As soon as they exited the palace gates, Lie Teng headed straight to Mei Xian Lou, ignoring the scornful and mocking gazes of those around him. Upon entering Mei Xian Lou, it was almost noon, and there wasn't a single empty seat inside. The young masters of the capital were all gathered together, while Mei Xian Lou's leading courtesan, Liu Ying, was already seated beside an ancient zither, her slender fingers caressing the strings. She ignored the shouts of the young masters below, not playing a note, and instead gazed intentionally at the entrance. When she saw a familiar figure, a joyful smile appeared in her charming eyes, and with a movement of her hands, a clear and melodious sound like music from the soul rang out, causing the shouting voices below to suddenly cease.

  Lie Teng glanced at Liu Ying, and directly walked to the only empty seat in the front row. Although Lie Teng had not come for a month, no one dared to take this seat. Although Lie Teng was known as a waste, he was still the sixth prince of the Lie Feng Empire. These young masters were arrogant and looked down on others, but they did not dare to offend Lie Teng openly, although they secretly ridiculed him.

  After Lie Teng sat down, he closed his eyes and listened to the music played by Liu Ying. His exhausted heart over the past few days finally relaxed a bit. As he listened, Lie Teng fell into a deep sleep. For this month, he had been studying that song, which made him mentally exhausted, but fortunately, he was a preeminent master.

  When Lie Tong woke up, he found that there was no one around him, and a beautiful woman with a charming smile was sitting beside him. Lie Tong rubbed his eyes and found that the woman was actually Liu Ying. After being stunned for a moment, Lie Tong said calmly: "Miss Liu Ying's music is like celestial music, worthy of being the flower queen of Mei Xian Lou. If I can listen to it every day, it would be a wonderful thing."
