"Princess?"
The Maid Xiao Xi looked at the little Princess with some surprise.
Wasn't Princess out shopping with that outsider, saying she wouldn't come to the military camp for these few days? How had she come back now?
And where was that outsider? Didn't she cling to the Princess's side all day long? Now that there was an opportunity, where had she run off to?
"Xiao Xi, come here for a moment."
The Maid Xiao Xi froze. She felt today's Princess was a bit off, but she couldn't say how. However, right now this was her Princess's order, so she approached the little Princess.
"Now, I want you to disband the army. Is that okay?"
"Disband the army!?"
Now she was even more certain her Princess was definitely not right! The little Princess couldn't possibly want to disband her own army for no reason. The little Princess before her definitely had problems!
"Yes, I said, is that okay?"
Xuan tried her best to control her tone to sound exactly like the little Princess.
"I'm sorry, Princess, but I still have to report this to His Majesty Gong first."
Even if the little Princess truly wanted to disband such a major matter, it wasn't something that could be done just by saying it verbally. It still had to be approved by the King.
"No need, I've already gotten Father the King's permission. Just disband them directly."
This way, the little Princess shouldn't be able to go to the Western Region, right?
"No, I must request instructions from His Majesty Gong."
"Then I'll go tell him myself."
Xuan said somewhat impatiently.
The Maid Xiao Xi finally discovered what was off. Her Princess was completely like a different person.
The little Princess of the past would never speak to her in this tone!
"Princess."
"What? Are you going to stop me?"
"Yes, I'm going to stop Princess. I want to ask what the Princess's reason is for wanting to disband this army."
The little Princess paid attention to the situation in the army every day, forgetting to eat and sleep, arranging and adjusting the army's grounds, then setting up specialized training. She'd used almost all her time to cultivate this army. Now she was saying the little Princess wanted to disband the army for no reason. She didn't believe it.
"There's no reason. If I say disband, then disband."
Xiao Xi reached to grip the short blade at the bottom of her skirt. She could basically confirm that the little Princess before her was definitely not her Princess. Her Princess couldn't possibly give up this army so casually!
"Princess, pardon my offense."
Xiao Xi drew her short blade. With a burst of power in her legs, she immediately pressed the short blade against the little Princess's chest.
"What's wrong? Don't dare to stab in?"
Xuan grabbed Xiao Xi's hand and flung her aside.
This was the Princess's body, but the words, actions, and personality were completely different from Princess. Was her body being controlled?
If so, then she had even more reason to definitely stop the person using her Princess's body to disband the army!
...
...
"Your Majesty!"
"What is it?"
The Empress, who was busy sanctioning the Eighteen Alliance Nations in various aspects, turned her head to look at her personal maid.
"Princess Mo seems to have a problem."
"A problem?"
The Empress frowned. At this time, if the little Princess's side had problems, it would distract her. But right now was also a good opportunity to deal with the Eighteen Alliance Nations...
She hesitated slightly and put down the scroll in her hand.
"Have Xiyan watch her."
"Xiyan has already been knocked down by Princess Mo."
"Knocked down?"
Hearing the Maid Ling's words, the Empress became extremely anxious.
She had to use magic to remotely wake Xiyan. Otherwise, if the little Princess did something foolish in a moment, that would be troublesome.
"Then Your Majesty, the Eighteen Alliance Nations' side..."
"Ignore them for now."
The Eighteen Alliance Nations no longer had Great Archmage-level combat power. They could be directly subjected to military intimidation. There was no need to worry about things going wrong.
But the little Princess's side was a different story. Her background and that puzzle-like knowledge were variables. Now with an Evil God added on top, if not handled well, the next time they met, the little Princess might no longer be the little Princess she knew.
She was the Imperial Consort she'd personally established, the partner she'd chosen. Although there was a very large gap between them, and their relationship had once fallen to freezing point, no matter what, she was the Imperial Consort she'd set her sights on.
"Um, Your Majesty, I think you'd better finish dealing with things here as quickly as possible and go to Glaze Nation. Princess Mo seems to be planning something incredible."
"What thing?"
"Not clear, but Princess Mo will very likely leave Glaze Nation afterward."
"Leave Glaze Nation?"
Then she definitely should speed up the progress here. After handling the relationship with the Eighteen Alliance Nations, she should go find her Little Imperial Consort.
The Empress tried to use magic to wake the still-unconscious Xiyan. As expected, on her fourth minute of trying, the loli maid Xiyan woke up.
"Your Majesty! I'm sorry!"
Realizing it was her Empress who had remotely woken her through magic, she immediately apologized.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't stop the Evil God residing in Princess Mo's body..."
"You mean the Evil God is controlling Mo's body!?"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I'm sorry..."
Damn it!
The Empress forcefully slapped the table.
Why would the Evil God suddenly start acting at this time? So she really had ill intentions toward Mo?
"Xiyan, immediately go stop Mo who's currently being controlled by the Evil God. Use any means necessary to knock her out for me!"
After receiving the Empress's order, Xiyan immediately used the maid contract connected to her through the little Princess to determine the little Princess's location.
"Alright, I'll go knock out Princess Mo right away!"
Ending the remote magic communication, the Empress took a deep breath.
Even for a Great Archmage, maintaining a magic channel across several days' journey was a very difficult task.
Magic power decreased with distance. The farther the distance, the higher the decay rate.
"Your Majesty, then next?"
"Leave the matter of flattening the Eighteen Alliance Nations to General Qin."
"Then Your Majesty, you plan to?"
"I will personally make a trip to Glaze Nation."
If she went by herself, she wouldn't need anyone else to accompany her. She'd fly directly using magic. A journey of several days could be compressed to within one day.
She needed to get to the little Princess's side in the shortest time possible.
However, before that, she still had to arrange things on Scarlet Phoenix Nation's side. For example, state affairs during the days she was away, and properly arranging military authority on General Qin's side.
"Ling, can you play me well?"
The Empress inquired.
The chaos had just ended. Scarlet Phoenix Nation's side couldn't be without an emperor. Scarlet Phoenix Nation had just started recovering from top to bottom. If she, the Empress, wasn't here during this period, turmoil would definitely break out domestically.
And Ling was by her side every day, making her the most suitable candidate.
