She raised her eyes, looked at Qiu Tu, and asked in a questioning tone,

"This is a good idea, but... there are still many problems to solve."

"For example... how can the intelligence agents of the chaotic faction obtain such important intelligence in a 'reasonable' way?"

"For example... how can we ensure that they don't leak information and let Father Emperor know when they're transmitting it?"

"For example... if we really did leak the secret, how can we make Father Emperor think that none of this has anything to do with you or me?"

Princess Huiming's abilities were indeed outstanding; all three of her questions directly addressed the most difficult aspects of the plan.

When Qiu Tu was making this plan, he had already thought of a solution.

But... he is now the Cloud Cat God King, not Qiu Tu.

So many problems, what does it have to do with a little kitten?

Thinking this, when faced with a series of questions from Princess Huiming, Qiu Tu simply mimicked the adorable look of the Cloud Cat God King, blinking his beautiful vertical pupils in a daze and tilting his head.

That expression seemed to say: Huh? Does this kind of thing need to be considered so complicatedly?

Seeing the "Cloud Cat God King" looking as cute (and silly) as ever, Princess Huiming's sudden suspicion slowly dissipated.

The corners of her tightly closed lips involuntarily curved upwards into a barely perceptible arc, which was then quickly concealed.

Then, her voice carried a hint of helplessness, but also a hint of doting.

"Alright, I know it's useless to ask you."

"The fact that you could think of so many things already shows that you really put your heart into it."

"Just now, I even had some doubts about how these plans and ideas could possibly have come from you."

"But it seems you were just too eager to help me, so you racked your brains and came up with this idea. That's already quite an achievement."

"So... I'll take care of the rest."

As she spoke, she waved her hand, indicating that Qiu Tu could leave. Her tone was as if she were dismissing a clumsy subordinate who could only come up with ideas but was not good at executing them.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Qiu Tu bowed respectfully, then turned and left the hall without any hesitation.

As Qiu Tu walked out of the palace and headed back to the prison city, he looked up at the dark red crescent moon in the night sky before finally letting out a long breath.

A moment later, a night breeze blew by, and Qiu Tu realized that a fine layer of cold sweat had seeped out of his back.

Every confrontation with Princess Huiming was like dancing on a knife's edge.

A woman who can endure for a thousand years must have honed her mind and character to an unparalleled level.

Therefore, it's never too much to be careful around her.

Moreover... during his time with Princess Huiming, Qiu Tu also made a judgment about her: such a person is only suitable to be a friend, not an enemy.

If she's the enemy, then... you absolutely mustn't give her a chance to breathe; you have to kill her in one fell swoop.

She... is far too dangerous.

Meanwhile.

Princess Huiming sat upright before the ink-jade table, her fingers gently tapping the long table as she quietly pondered.

Just now, "Cloud Cat God King" was indeed unusually clever. She even thought of the trick of using someone else to do her dirty work before she even thought of it.

In that instant, it was as if she saw Qiu Tu standing in front of her.

That's why she deliberately revealed it to test the waters.

As it turns out... there doesn't seem to be any problem?

"Cloud Cat God King" still has those occasional flashes of inspiration, but he's unable to consider problems comprehensively.

Even so, Princess Huiming closed her eyes and reviewed all her memories from the past few days.

This includes every second she spent with "Cloud Cat God King," as well as every soul connection she had with "Cloud Cat God King."

Although "Cloud Cat God King" seemed a little strange while I was changing clothes, it could also be that it was listening to me attentively, so I can't be sure.

More importantly... she carefully checked all the soul connections she had made over the past few days and was certain that the soul connection with "Cloud Cat God King" had not been severed for even a second.

This is completely different from the situation when Qiu Tu replaced Yunmao Shenwang last time.

Unless Qiu Tu's abilities have evolved again in such a short time, to the point where they can deceive the soul perception of a high-level god-king...

But how is that possible?

'I guess I've been under too much pressure lately, and I'm being a bit paranoid...'

Thinking this, Princess Huiming couldn't help but pull herself out of her thoughts and start focusing her energy back on the important matter of using someone else to do the dirty work.

As the ruler of the "Destroyer's Court" for nearly a thousand years, Princess Radiant Fate and the Witch of Chaos have also had many encounters.

I know the other party is not a simple character.

Therefore, the thought of having to borrow her power this time always made Princess Huiming feel somewhat uneasy...

Her eyelids were lowered, exuding an air of authority.

'I have a feeling this isn't going to be simple; something bad is likely to happen...'

.........

A few hours later.

Aria, the central castle.

On the enormous throne, Jasmine leaned lazily, her bare legs swaying gently in the air, and beneath her skirt, a string of tiny crystal anklets reflected a mesmerizing light.

She was toying with a piece of intelligence she had just received, a playful smile on her innocent oval face.

Your Highness, Old Bai, dressed in a simple white robe, stood quietly, his gentle and refined demeanor completely out of place in the chaotic atmosphere of the hall.

"Mu Xin, you said..." Jasmine waved the document in her hand, her watery almond eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter, "What exactly is that little girl Hui Ming trying to do?"

"Why would she deliberately leak the information that Lu Yao was planning to betray me to us?"

"She doesn't really think I'd believe that a few incompetent fools could obtain such important information on their own, does she?"

Her voice was sweet and clear, with a touch of girlish naiveté, "Or...is she really planning to betray the 'Royal Court of Destruction' and side with me, this adorable and charming villain?"

Old Bai had clearly read the intelligence as well. Hearing Jasmine's words, he pondered for a moment, then lowered his head and spoke softly and gently,

"Your Majesty, I feel there might be something fishy going on here."

"Oh?" Jasmine looked at him with interest. "How so?"

Old Bai, "Your cooperation with God King Lu Yao involves too many things and too many people."

"If she dares to betray you, the one who will be most affected is probably not you, but herself."

"So... I think she probably just used this as a gimmick and didn't really mean to say it."

"Besides... even if I were to betray you, your plan has little to do with 'Destroying the Royal Court'."

Old Bai analyzed calmly, "Even if she really tells the Destruction Tyrant about this, at most it will only give the Destruction Tyrant something to watch, and it will never become a bargaining chip to sway him."

"A bargaining chip that could sway the Tyrant of Destruction, yet also displease the Radiant Princess, who would even risk everything to destroy it..."

"It can only be related to the 'destruction of the royal court.'"

"Moreover, the interests of the Destroyer Tyrant and the Radiant Princess in this matter are certainly not aligned."

"Considering what has happened in the past two days, and Lu Yao's long-held obsession..."

Having finished his analysis, Lao Bai slowly raised his head, his gaze meeting Jasmine's in the air, and then said softly,

"So... I wonder, could it be related to that newly ascended God-King?"

This idea was so novel and bold that Jasmine was initially taken aback, then her clear almond-shaped eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a thoughtful expression.

She went through Lao Bai's speculation in her mind, and after a moment, a dimple slowly appeared at the corner of her mouth, revealing a smile.

That makes sense.

She gave Lao Bai an approving look, then couldn't help but laugh, her laughter as clear as silver bells. "But why is Huiming helping that new God King? Is it because he's thinking of himself back then, feeling a sense of shared fate?"

Upon hearing this, Lao Bai glanced at the intelligence report in his hand again, then calmly shook his head.

"The sentiment of 'the rabbit mourns the fox's death' should only account for a maximum of three-tenths."

"What about the other seven parts?" Jasmine leaned back on the throne, casually asking.

Old Bai's gentle gaze held a clear understanding of the world as he slowly said, "The other seven parts are naturally for her own sake."

"Princess Huiming's talent ranks among the top in the countless years of the 'Ancient Continent.' If nothing unexpected had happened, she should have been the most dazzling existence of this millennium."

“There is even a chance to ascend to that supreme position.”

"But unfortunately, she was born in the Court of Destruction, and had such a father."

"She has been a high-level god-king for a thousand years, and her lifespan has exceeded one-third. However, due to the restrictions imposed by the Destruction Tyrant, she has made almost no progress in these thousand years."

"You must understand that even with her talent, time cannot be wasted if she wants to embark on the path to the highest realm, or even attain the highest realm."

Old Bai paused, a hint of emotion in his voice, "If she doesn't find a way to break free from the shackles of the Destroyer Tyrant, her path in this life will be completely severed."

"She's actually just like Lu Yao; she can't wait any longer, she doesn't have the time."

Hearing Lao Bai's analysis, Jasmine nodded in deep agreement.

As someone who truly stands at the pinnacle of the "Ancient Continent," she knows the secrets of that time better than anyone else.

Even though the "Destroyer Tyrant" deliberately erased the traces of those three years, the tremors that occurred on the "Path to Supremacy" back then were still noticed by her and Tianyan.

It is important to know that the most crucial thing to embark on the path to the highest realm is that moment of inspiration.

Princess Huiming had clearly sensed the "Path to the Supreme," yet she remained silent for three years and never actually embarked on the "Path to the Supreme" for a thousand years, clearly suppressed by the Tyrant of Destruction.

The path to enlightenment is more precious and important than the throne.

Throughout history, countless fathers and sons, brothers, have met at Xuanwu Gate in the struggle for the throne.

Not to mention the path itself.

To be honest, she was surprised that Princess Huiming could endure for a thousand years.

Now that... with a shield like Zhao Ji to distract the "Destruction Tyrant," it's understandable that the Radiant Princess is starting to get restless and can no longer hold back.

At this moment, seeing that Jasmine agreed with his opinion, Old Bai asked with a gentle expression, "Then Your Majesty, do you intend to help her with this?"

Upon hearing this, Jasmine smiled.

She jumped down from the throne, barefoot, and walked step by step to the center of the hall on the cold castle floor tiles. Then, with a sweet smile, she began to speak.

"I'm the kind of person who... I've never liked helping others or solving their problems."

She turned around with her hands behind her back, a sly glint in her innocent almond-shaped eyes, "Especially...helping the enemy."

"However..."

She changed the subject, the smile on her lips becoming even more pronounced, "This favor involves another person, and I really can't stand idly by."

"However, simply helping out isn't my style."

She tilted her head and gave a mischievous smile.

"I think we can stir this water up even more..."

"That makes it more interesting."

"Only then can we truly do justice to these fun opponents."

Chapter 958 Chaotic Witch: Want to Do Business with Me? (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

Seeing Jasmine's mischievous and trouble-making appearance, a thoughtful look appeared on Old Bai's gentle face.

He knew that his Empress never did anything that didn't benefit her, and she certainly wouldn't help anyone for no reason. Her so-called "help" often meant an even more chaotic situation and... a more complex scheme.

As for the person His Majesty absolutely must help, that goes without saying...
