It's a sunny morning.
After having breakfast, Luo Qingzhou and Miss Qin Er continued to practice in the Exiled Immortal Residence.
Before practicing, he absorbed two drops of spiritual liquid.
During this period, he absorbed two drops of spiritual liquid every morning and evening to achieve the best effect.
The new internal energy technique "Morning Energy and Night Moon" significantly increased the speed at which he could refine energy in his body.
The surging energy transformed by the spiritual liquid into his body was quickly absorbed by his meridians and acupoints.
However, the effect of always practicing internal skills is not obvious.
If you want to advance as quickly as possible, you must practice both external and internal skills to achieve twice the result with half the effort.
He must find a secluded place where he can practice the "Vajra Exploding Fist" and other body-building boxing techniques without any worries, so that his body can reach the best condition, transform faster, and advance faster.
The city was obviously in trouble.
The martial arts gym may have been under surveillance, and as for other places, there may be spies from the Imperial Guard.
He has now reached the realm of a great martial artist, and the boxing techniques he practices are extremely fierce and domineering. If he practices with all his strength, the noise will be very loud, and it would be troublesome if it attracts people from the imperial court.
So, after much thought, he decided to go out of the city to practice.
Lingxiao Sect should be the most suitable place.
However, this time of training, the time away might be a bit long.
If he wasn't at home, wouldn't his elder brother be suspicious if he couldn't find him when he came back? It would be even worse if someone from the court came to look for him.
But if I don't go out, I will just suppress my cultivation and I don't know when I can advance.
According to the princess, there are masters in the late stage of great martial arts in the palace, and even masters who are grand masters.
Therefore, even with the help of the Hualing Pill, he still has to rely on himself and take one step further before he has a chance.
At lunch time.
He returned to Meixiang Garden and discussed the matter with Miss Qin Er.
Miss Qin frowned slightly and said, "If big brother comes back and wants to see you, Wei Mo can help you block him. If mother and others want to see you, Wei Mo can also explain it. But if it is people from the court or the princess's people, Wei Mo will have no way to deal with it."
Luo Qingzhou pondered for a while and said, "It would be great if Princess Meijiao could come and live here. She has something that can communicate with me. If she can live in the mansion, she can not only protect you, but also notify me at any time. If someone from the court comes to look for me, you can delay for a while and I can rush back."
Miss Qin Er asked, "Isn't Sister Meijiao under house arrest by the Prince?"
Luo Qingzhou said, "I'll contact her first. The Chinese New Year is only half a month away, and the exam will be held soon after the Chinese New Year. No one knows what will happen in Kyoto after the Chinese New Year and the envoys from various countries leave. So, I can't delay any longer."
Miss Qin sighed softly: "It's a pity that Wei Mo is useless and can't help you."
Luo Qingzhou comforted him softly, "Don't say that. What happens outside is the responsibility of the men of our Qin family. Don't worry, I will take care of it."
After dinner.
He returned to the Exiled Immortal Residence, thought for a while, took out the message certificate, and sent a message to Nangong Meijiao: Princess, are you still under house arrest
The message came back quickly.
Xiao Meijiao: Yes, I am so suffocated, Brother Feiyang, can you come over secretly tonight to accompany me? I want to vent.
Luo Qingzhou: Princess, where are Aunt Mu and Aunt Jiu? Can they come out? I want to go to Lingxiao Sect to practice, which may take a long time, and I am a little worried about my family. So I want to ask you for help.
Xiao Meijiao: The Chinese New Year is coming next month, and the Taikang Feast will start soon. Why are you going out at this time? What if your eldest brother comes home to look for you and you are not there
Luo Qingzhou: I am also worried about this. But I have to hurry up and practice. Now the capital is very busy, and there are many envoys from neighboring countries, so it seems calm. But I don't know when something unexpected will happen, so I have to prepare in advance.
Xiao Meijiao: What preparations are you making? What are you going to do
Luo Qingzhou: Just to protect myself. Princess, can Aunt Mu and Aunt Jiu come out
Xiao Meijiao: I don’t know either. My father and mother are watching me very closely, but Xueyi can go out as she pleases. It’s so unfair.
Luo Qingzhou: Then I'll think of another way. You stay at home. It's really dangerous outside now.
Xiao Meijiao: Come and keep me company tonight, I might be able to find a way to help you
Luo Qingzhou: No, I want to practice
Xiao Meijiao: You can practice here, and there is also the beautiful and lovely Princess Xiao Meijiao to practice with you.
Luo Qingzhou: No more talking
Xiao Meijiao: Do you miss me
Luo Qingzhou: Princess, I still need to practice, so I won’t chat anymore.
Xiao Meijiao: Don't worry, I will find a way out. If you ask me to do something, even if I can't do it, I will definitely find a way.
Luo Qingzhou: Princess, thank you
Xiao Meijiao: Call me Meijiao, tell me if you miss me
Luo Qingzhou: Meijiao, I miss you
Xiao Meijiao: I miss you too, I really miss you. Come over tonight, okay? Accompany Xiao Meijiao to sleep, Xiao Meijiao will definitely find a way to help you
Luo Qingzhou: Not in the mood
Xiao Meijiao: Awooo, bite you, bad guy
Luo Qingzhou: Princess, don't force yourself. If you really can't come out, forget it. I will find a way myself.
Xiao Meijiao: Okay, then you go ahead and be busy. Remember not to work too hard and don’t tire yourself out. Xiao Meijiao will still need your love and care in the future.
Luo Qingzhou did not reply.
If it really doesn't work, he has another candidate, but the other party may not be willing, and he is too embarrassed to ask.
In fact, the stone chamber under the West Lake is a good place for cultivation, but it may be the most dangerous place now. It is very likely that people from the imperial court are guarding it day and night, so he definitely cannot go there.
Forget it, let’s wait a little longer.
Without giving it any more thought, he went to the back garden and continued to practice his boxing skills without daring to use his internal strength.
In the evening.
When he was bathing in the cold well water in the front yard, Mei'er suddenly knocked on the door outside and said breathlessly: "Son-in-law, Eunuch Li from the palace is here and said that the emperor wants you to enter the palace."
After hearing this, Luo Qingzhou paused while rubbing his hands.
He picked up the basin on the ground and poured the cold water in the basin directly on himself, then said to the outside: "Okay, you go first, I'll be there soon."
Mei'er left in a hurry.
Xiaodie said with a worried look on her face: "Sir, why did the emperor call you to the palace?"
Luo Qingzhou took the towel from her hand, wiped the water stains on his body, and said, "Don't worry, you're not going to be a eunuch anyway."
Xiaodie was stunned for a moment, pouted and said, "It's already this time, Master, you're still joking."
Luo Qingzhou dried himself, put on a clean Confucian robe, held her in his arms and walked around the courtyard for a few circles, kissed her little mouth again, and then went out, saying, "Calm yourself first, so that you won't lose control when you see bad guys later."
Xiaodie looked confused.
Luo Qingzhou walked out of the Exiled Immortal Residence, the smile on his face disappeared, and he clenched his fists in his wide sleeves, then slowly released them.
It's certainly not the right time yet.
The eldest princess has returned. His Majesty asked Li Gui to come to him at this time, but I’m afraid it’s not as simple as just talking.
He had to hold it in.
Soon, he arrived at the front hall.
In the hall, Li Gui sat arrogantly on the main chair, holding a teacup and sipping tea slowly.
Outside the door stood two rows of guards holding sword handles.
Qin Wenzhen and Song Ruyue were both standing in the hall, leaning forward, chatting along.
Li Guizheng sneered, "Master Qin, your son-in-law is so arrogant. The emperor summoned him, but he was still dawdling and refusing to come out. Last time we came, you treated him like a formidable enemy and didn't want him to leave. Is it that your Qin family still relies on the merits of your ancestors and sees that the emperor is young, so you don't take him seriously?"
As soon as he arrived, he started making all kinds of sarcastic remarks and accusing others of him, naturally in revenge for what happened that night.
He was very scared at the time, but when he thought about it afterwards, he immediately realized that the boy was deliberately trying to scare him!
He grew up with the emperor since he was a child. No one dared to humiliate or beat him, not to mention in the palace. But that night, he was slapped dozens of times by this kid from the Qin family who had no official position. How could he not hate him
If the emperor had not been somewhat interested in this kid, he would have killed him long ago.
Qin Wen Zheng hurriedly bowed his head and explained with a smile, showing his humility.
Song Ruyue was standing beside him, her face turned pale with fright and she dared not say a word.
Li Gui snorted coldly and was about to continue to intimidate them when a figure suddenly appeared outside the door and walked in.
Li Gui looked at the person who came, and suddenly a cold light flashed in his eyes. He said with a fake smile: "Mr. Luo, you finally came out. We have been waiting for you for a long time, and His Majesty and the Princess have also been waiting for you. You are so arrogant, even more so than the prince in the prince's mansion. People who don't know would think you... Hey! What are you doing?"
Luo Qingzhou walked directly in front of him, without saying anything, raised his palm, and slapped him hard in the face with a "slap" sound, instantly knocking him unconscious.
Qin Wenzhen and Song Ruyue, Mei'er and other maids, as well as housekeeper Zhou who was waiting outside, were all so frightened when they saw this scene that they trembled all over and their faces changed.
The guards standing outside rushed in immediately upon seeing this scene.
Li Gui was shocked and angry. He covered his burning cheek and immediately jumped up from the chair, angrily saying: "You...you..."
“Bang!”
Before he could finish, Luo Qingzhou slapped him hard again. Without waiting for the guards to make a move, he shouted coldly, "How dare you! You dare to offend the dignity and reputation of the royal family? The prince's son is a royal relative! He is the relative of the emperor! How dare you, a lunatic, say that my airs are bigger than the prince's! I am just a lowly bastard, a humble son-in-law, and I am still a white man. How dare you be so rebellious and say that my airs are bigger than the prince's son! Who gave you the courage to despise and insult the royal family? Who gave you the courage to compare me with the prince's son! You despise the royal family so much and humiliate the prince's son so much. You are so audacious and lawless! Let's go! I will go to the palace to see the emperor now and talk to him about your arrogant words!"
This angry and powerful rebuke immediately left Li Gui speechless, with a dazed expression on his face.
The guards nearby who were about to draw their swords looked at each other and dared not move.
"What are you still standing there for? Let's go! Let's go to the palace to see His Majesty!"
After Luo Qingzhou finished speaking angrily, he turned around and strode out the door.
Li Gui covered his burning cheeks and was stunned for a few seconds before hurriedly following.
The guards also hurriedly followed behind.
Everyone in the Qin family looked at their backs in complete silence, staring at each other in bewilderment.
