Yaohua Palace.
In the study.
The lights are bright and the cigarettes are chirping.
Nangong Huoyue, wearing a fiery red dress, was sitting at the table, carefully reviewing the memorials in front of her.
Yuewu knelt beside him, head lowered, grinding ink quietly.
Not long.
Xiao He's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, the young master is here."
Nangong Huoyue was slightly startled when she heard this, and looked towards the door. After a pause, she said, "Let him in."
"Squeak..."
The door opened.
Luo Qingzhou walked in from outside and bowed.
Yuewu glanced at him, stood up and greeted him respectfully.
Then, he lowered his head and left the room.
The door closed gently.
Nangong Huoyue looked at the door and said, "Why are you here so late? Is there something wrong?"
Luo Qingzhou felt uneasy.
For a moment, I didn't know how to start.
He hesitated for a moment, then said, "Nothing, I just wanted to come and see Your Majesty."
Nangong Huoyue raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "Do you want to come and see me, or do you want to come and see your baby?"
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her belly unconsciously, and felt even more hesitant.
Nangong Huoyue saw that his expression seemed to be wrong, and was a little confused: "What's wrong? What happened? You are my husband, what can't you say?"
Then he asked again: "Why are you standing so far away? Are you afraid that I will eat you?"
Luo Qingzhou walked over, took a look at her chair, and didn't dare to sit on it.
He lowered his head, bent his knees, and sat down under her red skirt.
It's not that he's cowardly.
This matter is really too outrageous and too unexpected.
Until now, he felt like he was dreaming.
I can’t imagine how His Majesty would react if he knew.
Nangong Huoyue frowned when she saw him like this, and a solemn look appeared between her brows. She said, "You haven't done anything to let me down, have you? Or betrayed me? Or, do you want to leave me and go to Jiutian Yaotai?"
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head and said nothing.
There was silence in the room for a moment.
Nangong Huoyue put down the memorial, reached out and patted her chair, and said softly: "Get up and sit here. You and I are husband and wife. No matter what you have done or what you are going to do, as long as you have enough reasons, I can forgive you."
Luo Qingzhou felt more and more guilty. He slowly stood up and sat down next to her.
Nangong Huoyue said softly: "Raise your head and look at me."
Luo Qingzhou slowly raised his head and met her eyes.
Nangong Huoyue moved closer to him again and whispered, "Hold me."
Luo Qingzhou's heart softened, and he stretched out his arms again and hugged her gently.
Nangong Huoyue then said calmly: "Go ahead, it's okay, I will listen to you calmly. Even if you want to leave, even if you want to abandon me, I will listen to you calmly."
Luo Qingzhou smiled bitterly and said, "Of course not. How could I leave Your Majesty, let alone abandon Your Majesty. Unless... No, even if I die, I will never do such a thing."
Nangong Huoyue's eyes suddenly softened, and then she lowered her head, leaned gently into his arms, and said softly: "Then it's okay. I can forgive you for anything else."
Luo Qingzhou hugged her tightly, and was silent for a moment before saying, "Your Majesty, what do you think of Miss Qin? You..."
Nangong Huoyue suddenly raised her head, left his arms, looked at him and said, "Is it about her?"
Luo Qingzhou whispered: "Yes."
Nangong Huoyue narrowed her eyes and her expression gradually turned cold: "It seems that you still have feelings for her and are beginning to regret it, or maybe you are beginning to covet her beauty again, right?"
At this point, a hint of sarcasm appeared on her face again: "You may not have dared before, but now, you are different. Today, your mother-in-law has spoken personally. So, you are starting to get restless, right?"
"Your Majesty..."
"Go down!"
Nangong Huoyue said coldly.
Luo Qingzhou was stunned for a moment before he reacted. He had to let her go, stood up from the chair, and knelt down at her feet again.
"Humph, you are indeed a lecher!"
Nangong Huoyue regained the dignity and aura of an empress, looking down at him and saying, "I just told you that I was pregnant, and you started to covet your eldest sister-in-law's body. You even dared to come and ask my opinion on her? What? Do you want me to nod and agree to let you marry her? Humph, shameless, disgusting!"
"Your Majesty, I..."
"Shut up! You are a scholar. Have you ever heard that a good horse never turns back? She ignored you at first, even finding someone else to take your place in the bridal chamber, and finally divorced you mercilessly. Don't you have the pride and backbone of a scholar? Now you are so shameless that you want to go back and lick her. Don't you feel ashamed?"
"Your Majesty, actually..."
"Shut up! Aren't you just coveting her beauty and figure? Humph, her face is indeed beautiful, and her figure and breasts are as beautiful as mine, but don't forget that she can never serve you as obediently as I do. Even if you marry her, she is just an ice wither. You are affectionate with her, but she lies there motionless, not even making a sound. Do you think it's interesting?"
"Your Majesty..."
Nangong Huoyue's chest heaved, she stopped talking, and suddenly covered her stomach with her hands.
Luo Qingzhou's face changed, and he stood up hurriedly and said, "Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?"
Nangong Huoyue did not answer, closed her eyes, and slowly leaned back in the chair.
After a while.
She said in a cold tone: "If you really want to ask my opinion of her, then I will tell you that I... am jealous."
Luo Qingzhou was slightly stunned.
"She was the first woman you married, and the first woman you fell in love with, right?"
Nangong Huoyue opened her eyes and looked at him.
Luo Qingzhou was silent for a moment and lowered his head, as if recalling every detail of his time as a daughter-in-law of the Qin family.
When he saw Miss Qin for the first time, he was indeed moved.
Such a beautiful person like a fairy suddenly appeared in front of him and suddenly became his wife. How could he not be moved
Seeing that he was silent, Nangong Huoyue did not say anything.
A long time passed.
She said calmly, "I have no other thoughts except jealousy. If you really want to marry her, then you can marry her again as Luo Qingzhou. When the time comes, I will let Meijiao and Xueyi go to the Qin Mansion to congratulate you on my behalf. I will not go, so as not to feel sad."
Pause.
She added, "The court officials have unanimously agreed to make you king, and your fiefdom will be in Huoyue Country, my former fiefdom. As for the title of prince, you can decide for yourself, and it will be announced to the world in two days. When you become king, you can marry Meijiao and Xueyi. I am willing to marry them both."
Luo Qingzhou had a complicated expression and said, "Your Majesty, I..."
“This is not my opinion alone.”
Nangong Huoyue looked at him expressionlessly and said, "This was jointly proposed by Dean Bai, the five major sects, other cultivation families, and the border troops. You have saved Da Yan twice and saved Da Yan, and saved all the cultivators and people in Da Yan. This is what you deserve, and I am not giving it to you out of favoritism."
"Chu Feiyang, you may not know that you now have unparalleled prestige and reputation among the practitioners of Da Yan and in the army of Da Yan. If it were someone else, I, the emperor, would probably not be able to eat or sleep well, and would have to find ways to eliminate your influence."
"Fortunately, you are my husband. And I know you. You have no interest in imperial power."
"In fact, even if you don't have these outstanding achievements, according to the rules, you can still be crowned a prince with only an empty title. Now, you are more worthy of the title. No one will question me anymore, and no one will laugh at you for being a gigolo. You got this throne by your own ability."
"Of course, I also benefited from you. Now no cultivation force dares to oppose me, and those armies and princes are also convinced by me as the emperor. After all, my husband is a great master, who dares not to obey?"
Luo Qingzhou lowered his head, his heart beating fast.
After Nangong Huoyue finished speaking, she stared at him for a while and said, "Go, I want to rest."
Luo Qingzhou glanced at her belly and said nothing more. He stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I want to go underground to practice."
Nangong Huoyue nodded and said, "It is indeed time to practice. I, my baby, and Da Yan all depend on you. If you don't practice harder, the Piaomiao Immortal Sect will come to collect compensation. If they can't collect it, they might capture me, the king of this country."
Luo Qingzhou said calmly: "Your Majesty, such a thing will never happen."
Nangong Huoyue sighed and said, "This is a desperate gamble. A year is actually very short and will pass quickly. I hope you can succeed. The fate of me and Dayan is in your hands."
Luo Qingzhou didn't say anything else. He looked at her belly again, turned around and left, going straight underground.
Nangong Huoyue leaned back in her chair.
After a long time.
She took out the communication disc and sent a message to someone: Senior sister, you are really amazing. He was obsessed with his sister Yue, and now he was reluctant to let go of Miss Qin who divorced him.
Message reply: Really
Nangong Huoyue: But don't be too happy too soon. I am the legal wife. Whether you can enter the house depends on me. Even if you are your sister, you need to listen to me. So, sister, you should flatter and please me. Now, call me sister first.
The other party did not reply.
Nangong Huoyue raised the corner of her mouth slightly and put away the communication disc.
Thinking about the scene when they get married and that proud woman wears a bright red wedding gown, holds tea, walks up to her, lowers her noble head and calls her sister, she can hardly suppress her excitement and impatience.
“Hahahahahahaha…”
"Hmm? Be reserved, be reserved... I am the emperor now..."
Soon, she was in a trance.
“Hahahahahahaha…”
"I am a bootlicker now... Bah! I am Xiaoyue now, laugh whenever you want! Hahahahahaha..."
Luo Qingzhou came underground.
A pure vital energy rushed towards me.
He sat down under the Heart of the Spirit Ore, then took out the spiritual liquid and dripped two drops into his palm.
There are still twenty points to go before the late stage of Grand Master.
He planned to complete all his training during this retreat.
Otherwise, don’t go out!
As for the matters of wife and concubine, and all sorts of Shura affairs, he did not want to think about them anymore.
At worst, Luo Qingzhou is Luo Qingzhou and Chu Feiyang is Chu Feiyang.
Two identities, each with two wives.
There is no need for him to waste his time and energy on these things.
Since he had decided to go into seclusion, he naturally had to inform Sister Yue and others first.
He took out the communication disc and sent a message to Sister Yue first.
Then, he sent messages to Long Er and the princess, as well as his uncle and master, and also sent a message to Zhu Yan, asking if he was well.
Zhu Yan must have been very sad because he didn't find his beloved concubine at the border this time. He probably lost his appetite and cried every day.
Although this ancient ferocious beast has a bad temper, he is also a loyal and righteous man who has deep feelings for his beloved concubine. He deserves respect.
Zhu Yan quickly replied: Yangyang, I'm fine. Hehe, let me tell you quietly, on the way back, I had a beautiful encounter with a beautiful girl. I brought her back, and after spending a few days with her, I fell in love with her even more. As for the ugly girl who betrayed me and cheated on me, I have forgotten her! Yangyang, there are beautiful women everywhere in the world. As long as we have the ability, we can find beautiful women. Don't you agree
Luo Qingzhou: …
Soon, a picture was sent over with a sentence attached: Yangyang, this is my current beloved concubine, and also your sister-in-law. Look at her, is she beautiful
Luo Qingzhou looked at the black shadow in the picture. It was pitch black in the night and his face was completely invisible. Only two thick nostrils pointing upwards could be seen.
Beautiful! My sister-in-law is so beautiful! My brother’s vision is really extraordinary!
He flattered against his will.
Zhu Zhu: Hahahaha, thank you for your compliment, I'm fine! My vision is unmatched. I won't say any more, I'm going to favor your sister-in-law.
Luo Qingzhou deleted the photo immediately.
At this time, the princess replied: His Majesty should have told you, right? But Xueyi and I both refused. Our father passed away not long ago, so we cannot get married. We need to observe mourning for at least a year.
Luo Qingzhou: Yes, I know
Xiao Meijiao: You practice well, I will often accompany Wei Mo. Ever since our Great Yan signed those treaties with Piao Miao Xian Zong, His Majesty has been worried every day, and everyone is also worried that one day Great Yan will be gone. So, we can only rely on you.
Luo Qingzhou: Well, I will definitely protect Da Yan
Xiao Meijiao: Did His Majesty tell you
Luo Qingzhou: Is there any good news, Your Majesty
Xiao Meijiao: It seems that I have told you, congratulations
Luo Qingzhou: Princess, I'm sorry, I haven't helped you get revenge yet. But don't worry, I will definitely kill that woman.
Xiao Meijiao: Thank you, don't force yourself. You can practice, I won't bother you, I still have to accompany my mother. These few nights, she often had nightmares and cried.
Luo Qingzhou: Yes, say hello to the princess for me.
Then, he replied to the messages from Long Er and Master.
After Long Er came back, he practiced in seclusion under the East Lake.
The master broke through to the Grandmaster realm at the border, and after returning, he began to practice hard again, obviously not wanting to be left too far behind by his uncle.
The uncle didn't reply immediately, he must be busy.
As for Sister Yue, there was no reply either.
Luo Qingzhou waited for a while and put away the communication disc.
At this time, the spiritual fluid in the body has turned into a powerful force and is flowing within the body.
He calmed his mind, closed his eyes, and began to practice his skills.
Soon, a transparent vortex appeared above his head.
The pure energy contained in the heart of the spiritual mine began to flow into his body continuously along the vortex.
The vital energy was quickly refined into energy.
The vast energy began to rush like a tide, fiercely washing and tempering his meridians, acupoints, organs throughout the body, as well as bones, muscles, etc.
The tempering of the body will never end!
In the blink of an eye, five days passed.
During this period, Nangong Huoyue would come down every day, stand at the door every time, look at him silently for a long time, and then leave silently without disturbing him.
That night.
Luo Qingzhou felt the energy in his body overflowing and began to stir.
At the same time, all the organs in the body, bones, muscles, etc., also begin to crave something.
He woke up from his cultivation state and slowly stopped practicing his skills.
It took a while to calm the energy in my body.
He took out the body identification stone, held it in his palm, and checked his current data.
Grandmaster Late Stage: Progress 95
Initial stage of the Spiritual Transformation: Progress 90
Although he felt that his body was overflowing with energy and could no longer absorb and refine vital energy, the progress of his physical training had not yet reached one hundred.
Obviously, external stimulation and training are still needed.
He exhaled a breath, put away the body-identifying stone, then stood up and walked out of the underground.
When I arrived at the training room, I found that Her Majesty the Queen was already fast asleep on the couch.
She frowned slightly, obviously still thinking about something before going to bed.
Luo Qingzhou walked over quietly, covered her with the quilt, then reached out his hand and wanted to touch her belly, but held back.
There was a piece of paper on the table in front of the couch.
The note was unfolded, with some words densely written on it.
Luo Qingzhou hesitated for a moment, picked it up, and looked at the contents carefully.
"The Piaomiao Immortal Sect on the border has been making up stories and sending people to sneak into Linqiu City... They suspect that the massacre of the elders and disciples of the Piaomiao Immortal Sect in Mo City was related to Da Yan..."
His name was even mentioned above.
There was a cold light flashing in Luo Qingzhou's eyes.
What is coming will come sooner or later.
However, the other party has no evidence yet and should still be investigating.
Many people from Dayan in Mo City saw it that day, and I believe this matter will not be kept secret for long.
He has to seize the time and break through quickly!
otherwise…
He glanced at His Majesty's frowning brow again, then put down the note and quietly left the palace underground.
He first returned to the Qin Mansion to visit his family, and then went to Lingxiao Sect to practice and prepare for a breakthrough.
When he returned to the mansion and emerged from the ground of Meixiang Garden, he suddenly raised his head and looked up into the air.
In the dark night.
A hazy figure stood in mid-air, lowering his head and looking down.
The other party's gaze seemed to be falling on the Qin Mansion.
Luo Qingzhou's hole shrank and he went underground again.
Then, he moved quickly underground, went around behind the figure, and then came out of the ground.
In order not to reveal too much of his aura, he simply left his body and flew silently into the night sky, flying to the high sea of clouds.
Then, he took advantage of the cover of night and clouds and carefully flew above the figure.
Look down.
The figure seemed to be shrouded in a layer of smoke, still hazy and unclear.
Luo Qingzhou began to accumulate strength and quietly fell down.
