My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!
Chapter 527 - 346 The Empress's Choice_3

The Yin Yang School of the Sixth Realm is indeed exceptionally knowledgeable. Under Li Nuo's proactive exploration, all the insights and experiences of a lifetime flooded into his mind, making his thoughts extremely chaotic, prompting him to voluntarily stop exploring.

No wonder those who cultivate the Yin Yang School to the end go mad. Practitioners from various schools almost invariably ponder the questions of who they are, where they come from, the nature of this world, and how it operates...

Even the Sixth Realm Yin Yang practitioners don't know the answers to these questions.

Perhaps, only when one steps into the Seventh Realm can they unveil a tiny bit of this world's mysterious veil...

Li Nuo no longer thought about these questions. Rather than indulging in philosophical contemplation, he preferred playing a few rounds of Go with Yiren, where the loser would kiss the winner.

In the past, when playing with Anning, the loser would remove a piece of clothing, but he and Yiren weren't at that level of intimacy yet...

...

As time moved into June, the queues of people lining up to file complaints in front of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice, and the Zongzheng Si gradually disappeared.

In the past half month, nearly a hundred official nobles were dealt with by the court.

The officials of the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Justice have seen significant improvements in their cultivation, with more than ten officials achieving breakthroughs.

This was the first fire sparked by the Empress upon her ascension.

Her second fire was directed at medical reform.

The Empress has officially decreed to accelerate the advancement of medical reform. The first batch of state-owned Medical Halls in the Capital City is almost completed, ensuring that every citizen can afford and access medical care.

Additionally, several reforms within the court are progressing steadily.

Zhaoyang Palace.

Li Nuo looked at the numbers on the almanac. They had departed on the sixth day of the first lunar month.

Today was the ninth day of June, meaning he and Yiren had been away from home for five months.

In the past half month, many official nobles had been dealt with, resulting in a slight improvement in his cultivation. His lost lifespan had also been completely restored, with some even more to spare.

The speed of his lifespan increase was all thanks to the reforms in the Law.

He had already verified that indeed, by modifying the laws, he could extend imprisonment sentences and thus gain greater benefits.

The fact that the Law Code could be passed showed that it too believed the original sentences were too short.

Sentencing someone to thirty years of imprisonment could extend one's life by a month.

What delighted Li Nuo even more was that after he raised the upper limit of imprisonment, the upper limit of lifespan extension that capital punishment could provide had also changed.

It seemed that, in the eyes of the Law Code, capital punishment should not provide less lifespan increase than imprisonment.

When the highest imprisonment was five years, capital punishment could only increase lifespan by ten days.

When the highest imprisonment was ten years, capital punishment could increase lifespan by twenty days.

When the highest imprisonment was fifteen years, capital punishment could increase lifespan by thirty days.

After that, even if imprisonment increased, the lifespan increase from capital punishment remained unchanged.

In other words, an ordinary criminal could extend his life by at most a month.

Twelve criminals sentenced to death could extend his life by a year.

He always felt that the Law Code was too stingy, that a criminal's life could only extend his lifespan by ten days, which was too dismissive of human life. Now it seemed, it was entirely because he had not mastered the method earlier.

The abilities of the Law Code needed to be developed by oneself.

Upon returning to Daxia, the first thing he would conduct was a reform of the Law.

At first, the officials of the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Justice, and the Zongzheng Si were extremely busy.

But in recent days, there had been fewer new cases.

Li Nuo's cultivation and lifespan growth had nearly stagnated, so it was time to return.

In the Imperial Study Room.

Zhao Zhiyi was reviewing memorials to the throne, her arm trembled slightly, and a blot of ink spread across the memorial.

She stood up and asked, "Are you leaving?"

Li Nuo nodded and said, "We've been in Zhao Country for nearly half a year, it's time to go back."

Zhao Zhiyi didn't say anything more, she just asked, "When are you leaving?"

Li Nuo replied, "Tomorrow."

She lifted her head and blurted out, "So soon?"

Without waiting for Li Nuo to answer, she lowered her head again and said to herself, "You've been away from home for so long, you must be eager to go back..."

After thinking for a moment, she said, "I'll arrange for someone to send you back."

Li Nuo waved his hand and said, "No need."

Though it had been less than half a year since they came to Zhao Country, the situation was entirely different now.

Yiren was already a Fifth Realm Martial Path Grandmaster, and Li Nuo himself had Legalism Fifth Realm cultivation. As a School of Cross and Vertical practitioner, he also reached the Fourth Realm Peak, with only the Sixth Realm being able to pose a threat to them.

Unless she personally escorted them back, a few Fifth Realm guards would serve no purpose.

Thinking of their combined strength, Zhao Zhiyi said, "Then I'll escort you out of Zhao Country..."

Li Nuo originally wanted to refuse, but Zhao Zhiyi didn't give him the chance, saying, "That's settled then."

Li Nuo didn't say anything more, having her escort would save them a lot of travel time.

Since they were leaving the next day, that evening Zhao Zhiyi asked the Imperial Kitchen to prepare a sumptuous meal for their farewell in Zhaoyang Palace.

All three of them drank quite a bit. Though Li Nuo was slightly drunk, he didn't use True Qi to sober up.

A farewell night should have some atmosphere.

Yiren's cheeks were also flushed from drinking. After the farewell feast, Zhao Zhiyi held her hand and said, "Since you're leaving tomorrow, let's sleep together tonight. I have some things to tell you..."

Without hesitation, Song Yiren nodded and said, "Alright..."

Moments later, in the Empress's sleeping quarters, Zhao Zhiyi looked at Song Yiren and asked, "When do you plan to get married? I can have the Ministry of Rites prepare in advance."

Song Yiren, somewhat uncertain, asked, "Do you think the Zhao court will approve?"

Zhao Zhiyi smiled and said, "I'm the Empress; they have to listen to me. If they don't approve, I'll bestow you as a Princess. Then even if they disapprove, they have to agree..."

Song Yiren held her arm, touched, "Zhiyi, you're so good..."

Zhao Zhiyi waved the lights out and said, "Sleep early, you have a long journey tomorrow..."

As they lay in bed, with the Sixth Realm Empress by her side, Song Yiren felt very at ease and quickly fell into slumber.

As her breathing steadied, by her side, Zhao Zhiyi's closed eyes slowly opened.

The night was deep.

Zhaoyang Palace, in another room.

Within the Imperial Palace, in the Empress's sleeping quarters, Li Nuo naturally didn't worry about any assassination attempts. After returning to his room, he drifted into sleep under the influence of alcohol.

In his deep sleep, he didn't notice a figure had silently approached his bed.
