Chapter 275 Inside Story
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Grandma, let's go into the yard and talk."
"Go in."
Concubine Rou's voice is soft and pleasant. Although her face cannot be seen, her temperament is as gentle as water, and she really deserves her title.
But Chu Zhiyuan had already seen her true appearance.
She is almost a sister to Bai Ningshuang, and time has not left many traces on her body.
Although he has no martial arts skills, he still has such a beautiful appearance, which is obviously because he has taken a miracle medicine.
It was probably the elixir that saved her life in the first place.
It is naturally not an ordinary elixir that can have such an effect. As an emperor's woman, she can naturally take the best elixir.
A group of people arrived at his new house.
Concubine Rou looked at it curiously.
Bai Ningshuang walked around with her, and finally came to Chu Zhiyuan's yard and sat in a small pavilion.
Concubine Rou waved her hand, and all the serving maids and eunuchs left. Even Huang Cheng also left.
Only Chu Zhiyuan, Rou Fei and Bai Ningshuang were left in the yard.
Chu Zhiyuan served tea personally.
Concubine Rou took off her veil, revealing a face that was either happy or angry, and she was truly magnificent.
Chu Zhiyuan couldn't help but feel sad secretly.
His father, King Chu Minghou, failed to inherit his mother's good genes, and his appearance obviously changed to that of the emperor.
Concubine Rou suddenly coughed violently.
Her face turned red, veins stood out, and she looked extremely ferocious.
Her softness was instantly destroyed.
Bai Ningshuang hurriedly took out a small jade bottle, opened it and brought it to her nose, and the pungent breath wafted out.
Chu Zhiyuan frowned.
The medicine in this jade bottle is not a good medicine, but the medicine of tiger and wolf. It seems to fight poison with poison.
If this continues, Concubine Rou will not have many days left.
When he saw this, his mood became solemn.
Concubine Rou is the backbone of Prince Qing's palace. An elder in the family is like a treasure. Without Concubine Rou, the love between father and son would soon fade away.
After all, the emperor has many sons, and it is impossible for a bowl of water to be equal, and it is impossible for each of them to be remembered.
Once there are more sons, the relationship between father and son will be divided into many parts, and it is impossible to be interested in everyone.
If there is no help from the palace, it is easy to be ignored by the emperor. After all, the emperor has so many things to do every day and is very busy. If nothing big happens, he will not have time to care about his sons' parents.
When he was with the princess, he would chat a few words and think about his son.
After Concubine Rou sniffed the jade bottle, her coughing slowly stopped.
The veins on his face also slowly receded.
She saw the solemn look on Chu Zhiyuan's face and smiled: "Don't worry, you won't die yet."
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Grandma should take care of herself. My father is very worried."
"He..." Concubine Rou wiped the sweat from her forehead with a white handkerchief and said with a smile: "My temper is too weak. I really don't know who to follow."
Bai Ningshuang smiled and said: "He is the flesh that fell from your body, empress, so naturally he will follow you."
Concubine Rou smiled and shook her head: "I am not as weak-minded as him. I really don't know what to say. It's a shame you didn't follow him, Yuan'er."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said: "Actually, I follow my father's footsteps, but I hide it well and can control it."
"This is the skill." Concubine Rou nodded lightly: "You did a good job, especially letting Ruo Ling be the saint of Yaoyue Palace."
Chu Zhiyuan glanced at Bai Ningshuang.
Bai Ningshuang hummed: "Look at what I did, I didn't object at all!"
In her heart, she disagreed with Xiao Ruoling's decision to invite the Saint of the Moon Palace, delaying her marriage and delaying her own grandson.
But Chu Zhiyuan agreed. As a mother, she couldn't say any more disappointing words, so she could only hold back her thoughts and make a sign of agreement.
Xiao Ruoling was so keen, he had known her thoughts for a long time, he just pretended not to know. Both sides are pretending to be confused.
Chu Zhiyuan could only secretly praise his good luck.
If it were another person, the situation would probably be the opposite. Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have always been enemies.
Chu Zhiyuan said: "Grandma, I asked Ruo Ling to invite Yue Gong because I saw that she is highly qualified. It is too unfair for her to stay in the house like this. Let her go out and relax while she is young, so as not to regret it when she is old."
"It's rare for you to think so." Concubine Rou said with a smile: "If Ling can follow you, it will be her blessing."
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and felt a little more at ease.
This is caused by the thoughts of the past life. It is indeed not in line with the mainstream of the current world and seems a bit strange.
Concubine Rou said: "The relationship between the four major sects and the emperor is complicated. Yao Yue Palace is the most important force and the staunchest ally that the imperial court relies on."
Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and heard the implication: "What about the other three sects? Do they all have quarrels with the emperor's grandfather?"
"The relationship between Yongling Divine Religion and the Emperor is the most tense," Concubine Rou said softly: "It has even become incompatible with each other."
Chu Zhiyuan said: "So you lead the Tayun Iron Cavalry into the pass?"
Concubine Rou shook her head and said: "This is the Yongling Divine Sect's revenge against the emperor. The Emperor has also taken action against the Yongling Divine Sect."
"Is it because of my second uncle?"
"This must be one of the root causes." Concubine Rou nodded slightly: "The emperor's ability to bear this breath is already the limit, but the Yongling Divine Sect is still unwilling to give up, and has exceeded the emperor's limit."
"What did the imperial grandfather do?"
"I used the Emperor's Sword to cut down the Yongling Sacred Tree, causing a shock to the Yongling Secret Realm and having a huge impact."
"Is this what led the Yongling Divine Sect to introduce the Tayun Iron Cavalry?"
"Yeah."
"The Imperial Grandfather took action to severely injure the leader of the Yongling Divine Religion again?"
"Yes."
"What's next?" Chu Zhiyuan asked curiously: "The Yongling Divine Sect won't give up, right?"
"According to my understanding of them, no." Concubine Rou sighed softly: "They are all stubborn. The leader of the Yongling Divine Sect and the emperor are still old friends, and no one will bow their heads."
Chu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows.
Concubine Rou said: "In addition to the Yongling Divine Sect, which is the most troubled, there is also the Jiuli Divine Sect, which is not close, and then there is the Wuyou Sect,... the Wuyou Sect is becoming more and more excessive."
"What are they going to do?" Chu Zhiyuan said, "Haven't we been in peace and harmony for so long?"
"How can we live in peace and harmony?" Concubine Rou shook her head slightly and said, "If the emperor hadn't been so strong and kept suppressing them, they would have rebelled long ago."
Chu Zhiyuan frowned in confusion: "They only have one secret place, right? How can they compete with the imperial court?"
"They have a long inheritance and wonderful mental skills. They are more likely to produce great masters. Moreover, the secret places also have their own unique charms. Unlike the secret places and caves of the imperial court, only great masters can enter, but they will not benefit as much as they do."
"So," Chu Zhiyuan said: "The imperial court has obtained more caves and secret places. Although they don't have many secret places, they are better?"
"That's almost the case." Concubine Rou nodded lightly: "At the beginning, the sect leaders of the four major sects were better than Taizu. In order to appease the four sects, Taizu could only do this."
"The four major sects have eaten more fat, and the imperial court has suffered a loss... The emperor has always been unwilling to accept it, right?" Chu Zhiyuan said.
Concubine Rou looked at him approvingly.
Chu Zhiyuan saw the fundamentals at a glance.
Speaking of which, it was not that the four major sects wanted to rebel, but that the previous Dajing emperors were dissatisfied and wanted to swallow up the four major sects.
How can the four major sects be reconciled?
So they fought back, and now the riot has become more and more violent.
Chu Zhiyuan frowned and thought: "Have the four major sects joined forces already?"
"It seems that they haven't joined forces yet, but how can the emperor not worry about them joining forces?... If one sect is really swallowed up, I'm afraid the other three sects will join forces."
"Inviting the Moon Palace..." Chu Zhiyuan frowned.
"The emperor will not touch Yao Yue Gong, Yao Yue Gong should also know this, but it is hard to say for the Yongling Divine Sect."
I'm sick, so I can only update the third update first, and the remaining three updates will be made up slowly today
