Chapter 56: Breaking through the Innate (please order first)
"Hurry up, push hard!"
"Empress De Fei, please hold on!"
"Hurry, go get the hot water..."
Imperial Palace, Yong'an Palace.
Concubine De was giving birth, and outside the wing, Zheng Yi and a group of people were waiting.
After giving birth for the fifth time, Zheng Yi is already very familiar with it, and he is not at all nervous about becoming a father for the first time.
Duan Fei Xu Qingluan was nervous at the side, looking into the side room from time to time.
"Your Majesty! What took Sister Changle so long? Nothing will happen to her, right?"
"No, I have to go in and take a look~"
"Hey, you don't know how to have children, what are you doing?"
Zheng Yi quickly grabbed Xu Qingluan and persuaded him: "Just wait here. There are midwives and doctors inside. What are you in a hurry for?"
"I, I, I am not caring about sister Changle, hey..."
"Don't worry Luan'er, don't go in and join in the fun."
"Your Majesty, do you think sister Changle will give birth to a prince?"
"Whether you are a prince or a princess, I like them all."
Zheng Yi secretly hugged Xu Qingluan's waist and said: "Just like our little Xuan'er~"
"Your Majesty, there are many people here~"
"Who dares to look?"
The eunuchs and maids around him quickly lowered their heads and smiled secretly.
Bi Bi, Zhen Guiren, and Jie Er Yu'er were just sitting aside with envious expressions on their faces.
Nowadays, in the entire harem, the Queen Mother worships Buddha and does not care about worldly affairs. The Queen is imprisoned in Kunning Palace, and Concubine Shu is also imprisoned in Yonghe Palace.
Only Concubine Duan, Concubine De, Concubine Bi and Concubine Zhen were left.
Concubine Duan and Concubine De were on good terms, but the other two concubines were no match for Concubine Duan.
The four girls respected Concubine Duan and did not dare to say anything.
In addition, Zheng Yi doted on Concubine Duan alone and slept in Concubine Duan's palace four or five days out of ten.
The remaining Bi concubines and Zhen nobles can only divide one or two, which is really enviable.
At this moment, Zheng Yi was looking towards the east side of Yong'an Palace.
That is the palace of Yong'an Palace, where the concubine De's relatives usually live when they come.
At this time, there were two people in different rooms.
Prince Xian, Zheng Zongxian.
The leader of the Shadow Guard, Chen Liancang.
Zheng Yi arranged this to test the effect of pure yin energy.
Is it really what he thought?
Both of them are at the peak of the Grandmaster Realm, only one step away from the Innate Realm.
If Zheng Yi's guess is correct, can the two of them break through under the influence of pure Yin energy?
If they can break through, Dayu will have three Xiantian realm warriors.
And he can also confirm the role of the innate pure Yin energy!
"Old Chen, why does Your Majesty ask us to stay here where Concubine De is giving birth?"
Really bored, Prince Xian secretly sent a message and asked helplessly.
Chen Liancang said: "My lord Hui Xian, my slaves don't know, maybe it's to protect Concubine De."
"Hehehe... Now that you and the Shadow Guard are in the palace, who dares to be so presumptuous?"
Prince Xian smiled and said: "Even my sister-in-law was given by you..."
Chen Liancang said: "Prince Xian, please be careful what you say. I am only doing things for Your Majesty..."
"Besides, the Queen Mother is devoted to the Buddha and worships the Buddha in the Yuhua Pavilion all day long. Her freedom is not affected at all."
"Really? The Queen Mother is under house arrest. My nephew is so overbearing!"
Prince Xian shook his head and said: "But the clan has already had a lot of words. Please take the time to persuade Your Majesty. After all, you are the Queen Mother. Even if you do something wrong, you must look at the face of the clan."
"A few days ago, Prince Fujin entered the palace to pay his respects to the Queen Mother. He was actually stopped by the eunuch and said that the Queen Mother was unwell and should not meet guests. How bold!"
"I'm just a slave. I don't dare to get involved in royal matters. The wise prince should hire someone else."
"Hey, you old dog, you are so slippery and unaccommodating?"
"This old slave only listens to your Majesty's orders. If the wise prince can persuade your Majesty, I will do anything here."
"Well, Your Majesty? After Concubine De gives birth, I will take this good opportunity to discuss with Your Majesty. After all, I am the Queen Mother of a country."
While the two were chatting, several figures in the cabinet office next to the Hall of Supreme Harmony also looked towards the harem.
Lu Xiangqing and Cui Jinghao were silent, only a few other ministers were talking.
"Today is the day that Concubine De gives birth to a son. I wonder if I, Dayu, can give birth to a prince?"
"Your Majesty already has four daughters. If there is no prince yet..."
"Hush...shut up! How can we say this openly?"
"No news yet?"
"It should be soon. If there is any news, the eunuch will pass it on..."
In the entire palace and court, countless people looked in the direction of the harem, as if waiting for something.
"Wow, wow~~!!"
Finally, amid a loud and clear cry, the nurse opened the door to the room and walked out quickly holding a baby in her arms.
"Congratulations, Your Majesty! Congratulations, Your Majesty!"
"Empress De Fei has given birth, mother and daughter are safe!"
"It's a little princess~"
"Wow! So cute~"
Mother and daughter are safe?
The expressions of the few people changed slightly, but Zheng Yi already knew it and said: "Okay, let's watch and reward!"
"Congratulations to your majesty, congratulations to your majesty..."
"Sister Changle has given birth to a daughter? Come and give me a hug!"
Xu Qingluan also excitedly picked up the child and teased it happily.
"The eyes are like sister Changle, and the nose is like His Majesty, so cute~"
Bi Bin and Zhen Guiren also came over and teased the child in a low voice.
"Ah! It's so cute. Can you let me hug you?"
"Yu'er also wants to have a baby~"
Looking at the two pretty little girls, Concubine Duan also laughed and said: "You must be Yu'er. You want to have a baby at such a young age. Who are you giving birth to?"
Yu'er raised her little head and said: "Of course it is for the emperor's brother. My sister and I are both the emperor's brother's concubines~"
The expressions of several people all changed and they looked at Zhenguiren.
Even Concubine Duan glanced at Zheng Yi and then at Zhen Guiren, mother and daughter.
"My lord Zhen, this is the harem. We can talk about some things behind closed doors, but if it gets spread..."
Zhenguiren was also startled, and quickly pulled Jie'er and Yu'er to kneel on the ground: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Duan, Concubine Duan, Jie'er and Yu'er are still young and ignorant, so I hope..."
"No problem."
Zheng Yi waved his hand and said: "Get up, Jie'er and Yu'er are so cute, I like them very much."
"Luan'er, Jie'er and Yu'er have special status, you will know it later."
Dongyunjie and Dongyunyu are the daughters of Dongyunfeng, and Dongyunfeng is the heir of the Xiuzhen family.
Although he does not have the qualifications to cultivate, there is no guarantee that Qi Jie'er and Yu'er will.
However, he is still young and does not have any cultivation techniques at hand, so he can only raise it first.
Anyway, it doesn’t take much effort for two little girls.
Moreover, Jie'er Yu'er is also very cute and lively. Every time he goes to Zhengui's room, the two girls will keep pestering him to play.
Even late at night, the two little girls would sneak in between him and Zhenguiren and sleep with their arms around his shoulders.
These two little girls have already regarded him as their father.
"This..."
The eyes of the women moved slightly, and Concubine Duan even frowned at Zhen Guiren, and said, "Get up."
"Thank you so much, Concubine Duan..."
Jie'er and Yu'er stood behind Lord Zhen, looking at His Majesty and Concubine Duan strangely.
What happened to the Emperor's brother and Duan Fei's sister?
Why are you angry?
Did the mother hold their little hands so hard?
Several people had different thoughts, but Zheng Yi felt the pure yin energy gradually dissipating from the child, and nodded secretly in his heart.
It seems that there is no such thing as civet cat for prince today.
He still has lingering fears about what the Queen Mother and the Empress did.
After the room was cleaned, Zheng Yi took Xu Qingluan and the child and walked in.
"Your Majesty~"
The concubine Li Changle had recovered a lot by now and whispered: "I am incompetent and cannot give birth to a prince for Your Majesty."
Zheng Yi comforted him and said, "My daughter also likes what my concubine says very much. Please lie down and rest quickly."
Concubine Duan also said: "Sister Changle, don't worry, time is still long anyway, you will definitely be able to give birth to a dragon son for His Majesty!"
"My sister is making fun of my sister~"
"Your Majesty, please give the child a name, she is so cute~"
Zheng Yi said the name he had thought of for a long time: "If the person who makes the instrument speaks well, he will live long and live happily."
"Leer, our daughter will be named 'Zheng Yuyang' and titled 'Princess Weiyang'!"
"Princess Weiyang, it goes well with your name."
"Weiyang, Weiyang..."
Concubine De muttered a few words and said with a smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty~!"
"Buzz...~!"
At this moment, Zheng Yi keenly felt a strange fluctuation coming from the surrounding air.
Xu Qingluan on the side reacted even more urgently. He quickly stood beside Zheng Yi and said: "Your Majesty! This aura... a warrior is breaking through!"
"Xiantian realm warrior!"
“Right inside the palace!”
Zheng Yi's heart moved and he quickly comforted him: "Have a good rest, my beloved concubine. I'll be back when I go."
"Okay Your Majesty, please be careful~!"
A group of people filed out, and at this time, the imperial guards in the palace were also alerted. Many people ran towards this place and guarded Zheng Yi. Everyone's eyes were looking at the wing on the east side of Yong'an Palace.
In other words, the two rooms are only three to five feet apart.
Two completely different breaths came out of that wing.
One of them was eerie and cold, and several black shadows rushed out of the wing in a daze.
The few forest guards who were nearby actually felt as if they were falling into an ice cave at this moment, and their whole bodies were shaking.
From Zheng Yi's perspective, a large number of black shadows shrouded the palace, almost like ghosts.
In a daze, one could even hear waves of low neighing sounds of evil spirits.
"Is that... the wing where Chen Liancang is staying?"
Zheng Yi murmured, as expected.
He relied on the daughters given birth to by several concubines, and the pure Yin energy could indeed affect the cultivation of warriors!
This time when Concubine De gave birth to a daughter, he deliberately arranged for Chen Liancang and Prince Xian to be nearby, hoping to absorb the pure Yin energy as soon as possible.
Sure enough, it only took a stick of incense for Concubine De to give birth, but Chen Liancang had a reaction!
This breath is the movement of breaking through from the Grandmaster Realm to the Innate Realm!
The vitality of heaven and earth produces corresponding phenomena due to the warrior's cultivation and internal strength!
This strange phenomenon lasted no more than ten breaths, and there was another violent fluctuation in the side room on the other side.
"Ouch~!"
Cyan light rushed out from the wing, forcing Chen Liancang's dark shadow back.
At the same time, this cyan light actually formed a figure that looked like a giant python in the air, roaring upwards.
Prince Xian!
Zheng Zongxian!
He... also broke through!
Xiantian realm warrior!
Looking at the changes in the heavenly appearance caused by the two men's breakthroughs in innateness, we can see the difference in the techniques they practiced.
The technique that Chen Liancang practiced was the "Black Lotus Book". He cultivated inner energy that was feminine and treacherous, rich in corrosive power, and extremely fast, making his whole person's temperament become extremely sinister.
Zheng Yi didn't know the technique practiced by Prince Xian, but it should have been passed down from the royal family, and it possessed majestic power.
"Buzz..."
In mid-air, two completely different auras collided with each other, eroded each other, bit and fought with each other.
But the same breath keeps rising.
Waves of air rolled and filled the entire palace.
"Retreat! Everyone retreat!"
Zheng Yi gave an order, and the surrounding imperial guards quickly retreated, leaving a wide open space.
"Guard Yong'an Palace, no one is allowed to approach!"
"No!"
Soon, the entire Yong'an Palace was guarded by the imperial guards.
There are many shadow guards around, protecting you here.
It took most of the day for the two of them to break through.
Concubine Duan and others had already been sent back by Zheng Yi.
It wasn't until late at night that the two of them completed their breakthrough and arrived in front of Zheng Yi.
"I have seen your majesty!"
"You two love me!"
Zheng Yi raised his hand and said: "How do you feel, my dear friends? Is there a breakthrough?"
"Not bad, Your Majesty!"
Prince Xian was the first to speak: "Lao Chen and I have both broken through to the innate realm!"
"This feeling... is really mysterious."
Zheng Yi became interested: "Oh? How did you achieve the breakthrough? Can you tell me?"
Prince Xian looked at Chen Liancang. Chen Liancang thought for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, I have mentioned the changes in the vitality of heaven and earth before. Today, at the moment when Concubine De gave birth to a daughter, the changes in the vitality of heaven and earth became clearer."
"It is under the influence of the vitality of heaven and earth that this servant is lucky enough to break through."
"I think Prince Xian must have sensed it too."
Prince Xian nodded and said: "Yes, the vitality of heaven and earth in Yong'an Palace did change slightly at that time, which prompted the two of us to make a lucky breakthrough!"
"The changes in the vitality of heaven and earth...is this really the case?"
Zheng Yi whispered, already feeling certain in his heart.
"Your Majesty!"
Prince Xian suddenly said again: "Concubine De gave birth to a child, which prompted me and Lao Chen to break up. It is really a great joy. God bless me!"
"This child is my lucky star. Has Your Majesty already named him?"
"Yes, her name is Zheng Yuyang, and she is titled Princess Weiyang."
"Weiyang? Weiyang?"
Prince Xian murmured: "What a good name, Changle Weiyang, it complements the name of Empress De Fei."
"Weiyang Weiyang, the name of the main palace of the former emperor's palace is really grand!"
"It is indeed a great blessing for our court to have this grandson for Mr. Li!"
"Li Gong... Li Changfeng."
Li Changfeng, Minister of the Ministry of War, the father of Concubine De, was also one of the ministers in the court.
"Xu Mujun was concerned about the war in Northern Xinjiang and could not be distracted, so he ordered Li Changfeng to join the cabinet."
"No!"
"Your Majesty!"
Prince Xian suddenly said again: "I have one more thing to ask for."
"Uncle, please speak."
"Now that Concubine De has given birth to a son, there are two more innately powerful people in the court. This is God's blessing for me."
"The Queen Mother and the Queen are both close relatives of His Majesty, but they can only live in seclusion in the palace. If this matter is spread, I am afraid it will be detrimental to His Majesty's reputation."
Prince Xian cupped his hands and said:
"The queen is the mother of Dayu."
"The Queen Mother is also the mother of His Majesty."
"There is nothing wrong between the two of them. I hope Your Majesty will forgive them for the Queen Mother and Queen's consideration of Your Majesty."
Zheng Yi knocked on the table with one hand, looked at Prince Xian and said: "Since it is the emperor's uncle who is begging for mercy, I will naturally consider it carefully."
"After the queen recovers, she can walk freely."
If an ordinary imperial uncle begged for mercy, Zheng Yi would naturally not agree.
But a Xiantian realm warrior gave him a lot more chips.
Moreover, he would still have something to trouble the emperor's uncle later on, so he had to give him some face.
The Queen can let it go, but the Queen Mother...
Just be patient.
"But my mother...she voluntarily went to Yuhua Pavilion to worship Buddha and prayed for the royal children. I can't refuse. What do you think, uncle?"
"This..."
Prince Xian shook his head with a wry smile and said: "In everything, follow your Majesty's orders!"
At this moment, Liu Chengen walked in quickly and whispered: "Your Majesty, Ma Jinwu is asking for an audience."
"Oh? Ma Jinwu? Wuzhou? Let him in quickly!"
Prince Xian said wisely: "Since your Majesty still has important matters, I would like to retire..."
"Wait a moment, Mr. Xian, this matter is a martial arts matter. The emperor's uncle can stay and discuss it together."
"Martial arts?"
Prince Xian was confused, but His Majesty had already said so, so he could only stay.
Soon, Ma Jinwu walked in, looking extremely excited.
Accompanying him was Xiao Guizi.
"Welcoming ministers pay homage to Your Majesty!"
"Wei Chen has met Prince Xian..."
"Get up."
Zheng Yi raised his hand and said: "What's so important that you're so anxious to see me?"
"Your Majesty, this..."
Ma Jinwu hesitated and glanced at Prince Xian.
"It doesn't matter, Prince Xian is the emperor's uncle, there is no need to avoid him in this matter."
"No!"
Ma Jinwu immediately said: "Your Majesty, intelligence came from Wuzhou that the Shenji Battalion attacked Yujian Villa in Wuzhou three days ago! More than 3,000 disciples of Yujian Villa were killed, the gate was broken, and the owner of Yujian Villa, Shen Qiyun, and others All the people were killed, and no one escaped!"
As soon as he said these words, Prince Xian on the side was shocked and said: "Your Majesty! Yujian Villa and Yujian Villa are just martial arts sects, why should..."
"I remember that there are still a few swords from Yujian Villa in the imperial uncle's residence."
Prince Xian said: "Yes, Your Majesty, these three swords, Dongren, Xiayu and Canyang, were all purchased from Yujian Villa!"
"Xiao Guizi, tell me."
"No!"
Xiao Guizi said quickly: "Your Majesty, we relied on the divine soldiers of the Shenji Battalion to attack Yujian Villa, and looted more than two hundred blacksmith workshops, weapons shops, etc. under the name of Yujian Villa."
"From his village, a total of more than 8,600 swords, more than 12,000 long knives, and more than 5,000 long spears were seized."
"There are countless axes, whips, and spears."
"In addition, we found 826 pieces of bright light armor, more than 1,200 pieces of fish scale armor, more than 5,000 pieces of ordinary leather armor, and more than 2,200 pieces of fine steel shields..."
While Xiao Guizi was still talking, the faces of Zheng Yi and Prince Xian became extremely ugly.
Just weapons.
Although the number is large, it is within their tolerance.
But... armor!
The law of Dayu stipulates that anyone who secretly hides three sets of armor will be punished for treason!
This Yujian Villa has nearly 10,000 pieces of armor secretly hidden in it!
What are they going to do?
In terms of the crime of treason, it is considered an advantage for them.
How many people did Yujian Villa have, and why did they make so many pairs of armors?
Qingzhou rebellion?
How could those mud-legged guys have so much money to buy so many armors!
"Your Majesty!"
Prince Xian immediately said: "Yujian Villa is plotting rebellion, please kill the whole sect!"
Xiao Guizi said again: "Your Majesty, I have found several secret letters in the villa."
"This matter is of great importance, I hope your Majesty..."
