Chapter 747: Omen of Good Fortune (Thanks to “Women’s Clothing Makes Me Stronger” for his silver alliance)

Underneath the Stargazer Building.

Sitting cross-legged in the room, quietly meditating, Zhong Li’s ears twitched as he heard the sound of disorganized footsteps.

At that moment, a footstep quickened to the door of her room and called out:

“Senior Sister Zhong, the night watchman was ordered by Xu Yinluo to escort a batch of prisoners to be held here.”

Zhong Li got up to open the door and saw a white-clad warlock standing outside.

She nodded first, then looked at the entrance to the dark corridor and saw a middle-aged man with embroidered gold gongs, along with a group of silver and copper gongs, escorting a group of prisoners.

Zhong Li greeted him and asked softly:

“What happened?”

The white-robed warlock let out an “oh” and explained in a calm tone:

“When Xu Yinluo and the eldest princess rebelled, they tried to lock up several of the Prince brothers, including Emperor Yongxing, in the Sithian prison.”

As a warlock of the Sithian Supervisor, it is a basic operation to look down on the imperial power.

Zhong Li greeted the golden gong escorting the Prince, and the latter said with an arch:

“This officer, Zhao Jin, has been ordered to escort a criminal, please arrange it with Miss Zhong.”

Jong Li then said:

“There are twenty rooms on this floor, just pick one at random.”

Song Tingfeng sniffed and casually opened an iron door at his side and pushed Xu Yuanhuai:

“Get in there!”

Xu Yuanhuai’s feet slipped and he fell hard to the ground, his head knocking against the iron door, and he grunted out in pain.

Song Tingfeng scoffed, “Waste ……..”

As soon as the words left his mouth, he suddenly slipped under his feet, leaned straight back, and knocked his head against the wall.

As an expert of the God Refining Realm, he was not injured, and only touched his head with a blank face.

Zhao Jin frowned and looked at Song Tingfeng, rebuking him:

“Gross.”

Then he fell too.

“???” Zhao Jinluo’s face was blank.

He didn’t understand why he, a fourth grade martial artist and an expert in controlling the power of transformation, would suddenly fall down without any obstacles or walking.

Zhao Jinluo whirled around and figured it out, looking at Zhong Li and guessing:

“This is the formation that traps criminals?”

The lead white-clad warlock nodded as he leaned his back against the wall:

“Consider it done.”

Then, the silver gongs and brass gongs pushed the cursing Prince and Yongxing Emperor into the room, and in the process, people on both sides fell down for no reason, either with their heads hitting the wall or their faces hitting the floor.

Zhong Li was in charge of closing each iron door, palms pressed against the door to activate the formation.

Seeing that the matter was done, the group of night watchmen, including Zhao Jinluo, put their backs against the wall and moved cautiously, leaving the underground.

The white-clad warlock leaning against the wall lamented:

“Yesterday was an emperor, today he became a prisoner, hey, it’s not bad to let these brocade-clad princes taste the taste of a prisoner, otherwise how can they know the suffering of the human world, isn’t that right Sister Zhong.”

Zhong Li froze.

She stood frozen for half a day, her eyes growing brighter and brighter as she spoke sharply:

“Go find Xu Yinluo and tell him to come to my place.”

The white warlock didn’t ask why and nodded:

“Okay, but Senior Sister Zhong, can you go back to your room first?”

He pointed to the open iron door.

The iron door could lock Sister Zhong’s doom, he didn’t want to fall three steps at a time, the warlock’s flesh was very delicate, it couldn’t withstand being tossed around.

“Oh!”

Zhong Li turned around and entered the room, the moment the iron door closed, the white-robed warlock heard a muffled sound of “snapping”, and he guessed that it was Sister Zhong who had fallen.

The white-robed warlock walked out of the ground and picked up the steps to Xu Qi’an’s temporary bedroom.

He was about to fasten the door when he was suddenly blessed with the thought:

“No, the three laws of circumventing bad luck: Sister Zhong’s words must not be listened to; Sister Zhong’s side must not be stayed in; Sister Zhong’s things must not be touched.

“I was careless and almost forgot these three laws.”

With that thought, the white-clothed warlock silently turned away.

It would be better to relay Senior Sister Zhong’s words to Senior Brother Song and let him be the cannon fodder.

…………

Szeto, inside the Floating Pagoda.

Bai Ji curled up on the futon, her voice thin and soft and delicate:

“Why hasn’t Auntie come yet, Master you let me out, it’s so boring.”

Old Monk Taling opened his eyes and slowly said:

“If the young monks are bored, they might as well join the poor monks in the enlightenment of the Dharma.”

When Bai Ji heard this, she branched out and called out:

“I’m a demon ah, I was born to fight the Buddhist sect, how can I learn Buddhism from you.”

Old Monk Taling gave his reasons:

“Understanding the enemy is the only way to defeat them. The young monk learns Buddhism from me, so that when he grows up in the future, he can find the weaknesses of the Buddhist sect.”

Bai Ji sniffed and froze for a moment, feeling that it made sense, and her little brain couldn’t think of anything to say in rebuttal.

As he was speaking, Old Monk Taling’s ears twitched, and then he laughed:

“Your master has returned.”

He flexed his finger and flicked it, a golden light shot out and bloomed in the room, then Mu Nanjian appeared.

She was dressed in a long lotus-colored dress, her face haggard, her eyes full of fatigue.

When Xu Qi’an left, he didn’t take the Floating Pagoda with him, leaving it on the table along with the Peaceful Sword to give the Flower God triple protection.

After Mu Nanjian awoke and communicated with the tower spirit, he was teleported in.

“Auntie!”

Bai Ji let out a cry of joy and turned into a white shadow and flew into Mu Nanjian’s arms.

Mu Nan gardenia caught Bai Ji, obediently sitting on the futon, hands together, devoutly said:

“Master, I have realized.”

Old Monk Taling asked rhetorically:

“What have you realized?”

Munan Gardenia was incredibly devout and enlightened:

“Color is empty!”

Old Monk Taling said with relief:

“Good!”

At the same time, he muttered inwardly: that sounded familiar.

Shirahime twitched the tip of her pink nose in bewilderment:

“Auntie, you smell funny, it’s not you …….”

“You smell wrong.”

“No no, I have a good nose.”

“Shut up, little brat and stop prying.”

Listening to their argument, Old Monk Ta Ling stretched out his finger and gently tapped it on the center of Mu Nanjian’s brow.

The Flower God’s eyes were instantly empty and lost their vigor, and his body slumped, passing out.

This turn of events startled Bai Ji.

“The poor monk is helping her to channel her qi, being depressed in the dantian will harm her body instead.” Old Monk Taling explained.

Overnight, there was an additional indigestible pound of qi in her body, which was the reason why she felt exhausted.

………..

The King’s Mansion.

Wang Zhenwen woke up at dawning, had his lunch and drank his medicine, and then refused to sleep with his eyes open, as if he was waiting for something.

As soon as it was light, he heard the faint sound of artillery fire.

It soon calmed down again.

Waiting, waiting, waiting, lunch arrived.

Wang Zhenwen did not eat a drop of rice, and finally waited for the housekeeper to report that First Minister Qian and several adults came to visit.

At this point, Chief Minister Wang was relieved and asked the butler to invite someone in.

A short while later, Qian Qingshu, Sun Shangshu, and a few other backbones of the Wang Party pushed their way in and took their seats at the round table.

Qian Qingshu moved the round stool to the edge of the bed and sat the closest.

Wang Zhenwen looked at their faces, and after a long time of contemplation, he said:

“It looks like it’s a done deal, but why are you guys looking like that?”

A few of the older partners were more silent, but not in a stony way, but in that complicated way where you don’t know where to start.

Minister of Justice Sun and a few others, their eyes met before they all turned to Qian Qingshu.

Qian Qingshu knew that he couldn’t avoid it and sighed lightly:

“It worked out, but the results were a little off.”

“Deviation?” When Wang Zhenwen saw that he was about to speak, his heart sank, thinking of a possibility, and he hurriedly said:

“Xu Qi’an, usurped the throne?

“Confused ah, the great Feng Qi not yet finished, down to the people, up to the nobles, are still recognized by the royal family, even that Yunzhou chaotic party, but also want to do everything possible to promote themselves as the orthodox, at all costs to ask for recognition of the Yongxing, and that is for this reason.

“He has managed to save up a good deal of prestige, how can he destroy his own career?”

A sharp anger and a violent coughing fit.

“Be at ease, be at …….. ease.” Qian Qingshu helped him sit up and patted his back, wanting to say something, said:

“Xu Qi’an didn’t usurp the throne, and with his temperament, he wouldn’t even sit in the dragon chair if it was given to him.

“You think he’s a man who’s willing to bury his head in paperwork and take care of politics?”

When Wang Zhenwen thought about it, he felt that it was reasonable, and his mind was much calmer and asked:

“Who is he going to set up?”

Qian Qingshu said quietly:

“Rapunzel Huaiqing!”

“Cough cough cough ……..” Wang Zhenwen coughed violently again, his face reddening.

Sun Shangshu busily poured a cup of hot tea and handed it over:

“Take a sip of tea and press on.”

Wang Zhenwen begrudgingly took a sip to suppress his cough, and then asked impatiently:

“You guys agree?”

Qian Qingshu said helplessly:

“We thought we would establish Prince Yan, but we realized afterward that the boy had blundered us all.

“At that time, when the arrow was on the string and the ship of thieves was already on board, how could it be reversed?”

There’s no turning back when you yell, “Please abdicate, Your Majesty.”

Moreover, Yongxing and a group of brothers are firmly controlled by the Princess, the royal party is to want to repent, but there is no suitable figure to launch.

The brothers of the late emperor and some county kings were less qualified.

Besides, at that time, looking at the performance of a group of princes and county kings, it was obvious that they pinched their noses and recognized Huaiqing, and they might not be willing to take the risk.

Wang Zhenwen became furious:

“A woman claiming to be an emperor is nonsense, nonsense!”

Sun Shangshu suddenly said:

“It’s not unacceptable; there is a precedent for a woman to claim the title of Emperor in Dayang.

“Besides, in terms of talent, vigor, and ability, the Eldest Princess is the best, and she is far better than Yongxing and the other princes when she becomes emperor.”

Wang Zhenwen said incredulously:

“What did she give you guys.”

Sun Shangshu looked toward Qian Qingshu, and the new chief minister whispered:

“It’s not much of a benefit, it’s just a promise that Yongxing promised us before, but has been slow to fulfill on the grounds of stability in the dynasty.

“Then again, the courtroom is reshuffled, and the vacant positions are divided between the Wei Party and us, so that from now on there will be no more group parties competing against each other.”

Wang Zhenwen stopped talking.

Because he knew that his opposition was ineffective, Huaiqing was giving too much, so much that the Wang Party could not refuse.

Even though they all knew that she would definitely support other parties in the future and would not allow the Wei and Wang parties to grow bigger, no one would reject the benefits that were within reach in front of them because of what would happen in the future.

It’s not about being smart, it’s about human nature.

“Good calculation, compared to Emperor Yongxing, she is more like Yuanjing.”

Wang Zhenwen let out a “heh”: “Things have come to this, I can only follow the general trend.”

What else can he do, a bedridden man?

“But the old man has a word of advice for you.”

Wang Zhenwen swept over the people in the room and said in a deep voice:

“A woman claiming the title of emperor, even if there is history to go by, is not the mainstream norm and has limited persuasive power. It won’t be that easy for her to sit firmly in the dragon chair.”

Qian Qingshu got up and arched his hand:

“Brother Wang, please.”

………..

Xu Qi’an returned to the Si Tian Supervisor and came to the door of his bedroom to see Song Qing collapsed outside the door.

“Sure enough someone came for me, good thing I made several preparations …….”

He muttered in his heart, picked up Song Qing, and slapped him a few times to forcefully wake him up.

Song Qing woke up in a daze, bewildered:

“Mr. Xu, you’re back ah ……… Huh, my face hurts.”

Not so exaggerated ah, I just lightly hit two slaps, oh, I am already a second grade martial artist ………. Xu Qi’an changed the topic:

“You came to see me about something.”

Song Qing rubbed her red, swollen face and said with less than perfect diction:

“Senior Sister Zhong sent word that there is something she wants to see you about.”

Zhong Li little poor thing looking for me ah. Xu Qi An nodded his head a little:

“If there’s no hurry, I’ll take the time to go over there.

“By the way, has Senior Brother Song stayed up late doing alchemy experiments recently and hasn’t slept for a long time?”

Song Qing froze:

“How do you know?”

If your brain is smart, you will not take Zhong Li s mission, this is a very simple reasoning ……… Xu Qi an did not explain, and respectfully sent away Song Qing, whose brain is not so good.

Eyes on his back as he left, Xu Qi’an wiped the strong anesthetic off the door and pushed it open.

The room was empty, the bed was disheveled, and the sheets had dried without the first beauty of Dabong.

Xu Qi’an’s gaze naturally looked toward the Taiping Sword on the table.

The Taiping Blade raised the tip of its blade and pointed it towards the Floating Pagoda to the side.

Xu Qi’an nodded, and his figure whirled into golden light, disappearing into the interior of the pagoda.

On the empty third floor, the old monk of the tower spirit was sitting on a futon, and Munan Gardenia collapsed crookedly on another futon, unconscious.

Baiji came up to her and kept twitching the tip of her pink nose, sniffing and sniffing.

“Fox cub, what are you doing!” Xu Qi Min said, “Are you molesting my wife.

Baiji expressed her happiness at seeing him come in, then said in confusion:

“Auntie smells funny, hmmm, I always thought it was familiar.”

……… Xu Qi an was taken aback and said How can you be familiar with it, you are still a child.

Bai Ji stared at him for a moment before sudden realization dawned on him:

“I remembered, Sister Night Hime had this smell on her body every time she finished mating with you.”

It lifted its paw and slapped the futon hard, angrily:

“Did you mate with my aunt, she’s mine and you’re not allowed to take her.”

“Don’t worry, she’ll still hug you and eat and sleep with you in the future.” Xu Qi’an comforted.

Give you a comfortable cushion …….. He mentally added.

Once Shirahime was satisfied, she put up her furry fox tail.

At this time, Old Monk Taling found an opportunity and said:

“I combed her qi for her, the next person may not be able to cultivate this majestic qi for ten years.”

These were the qi that Xu Qi’an had input into her body.

After a pause, the old monk said:

“There seems to be another power awakening in her body, a very magical power, thought to be the Immortal Tree’s Spiritual Embrace.”

The Tower Spirit was also present when he exchanged words with the Underworld Silkworm that day.

Xu Qi’an nodded, picked up Mu Nanjian and left the pagoda, returning to the bedroom.

He had come back early to help her channel her qi, the Flower God was incapable of practicing cultivation and was unable to run her qi on her own, in which case the qi Xu Qi’an had crossed into her body would condense in her dantian.

Instead, it is harmful to the body over time.

Now that the Tower Spirit had offered to help, he had saved himself some effort.

Xu Qi’an placed the Flower God on the bed, took off his embroidered shoes, and stared at the white and delicate little feet for a few moments.

“Can’t fuck with the beauty.”

Silently, he tucked her in.

At that moment, he felt a knock on the back of his head, and gingerly fumbled with the shards of the earth book to see what was going on.

Fishpond One, send in a private chat.

[Three: Your Highness?]

[I: The Palace has sent someone to pacify Lin An and found that although she is not in a high mood, she is no longer in any serious trouble.]

[3: Huh? There’s such a thing? I was completely unaware of it.]

Huaiqing in the imperial study, looking at the ground book fragments, “huh” a sound.

[I: Fangcai Qian Shoufu approached this palace and mentioned a few opinions.]

Xu Qi’an didn’t say anything and waited patiently, and not long afterward, Huaiqing’s long speech was sent.

[1: A woman’s claim to the throne is a great obstacle. The Palace can suppress the dynastic princes and the army, but it may not be able to suppress the state governments, the guards, and the people’s mouths.

[Therefore, before ascending to the throne, the first and foremost thing was to control and guide public opinion, so that all the major restaurants and teahouses in the capital city would talk about the deeds of the Dayang Empress of that year, so that more people would know about this matter.

[And then the Yunzhou mission was paraded through the streets to gather the people’s hearts.

[Finally, First Counselor Qian proposes that on the day this palace ascends to the throne, if there is an auspicious omen, the hearts of the people will be set.]

Blow a wave of the empress of Dayang’s achievements in advance, so that the people have a bottom in their hearts, as far as possible to dispel the resistance to the psychological …….. Parading the Yunzhou delegation is a way to gather people’s support, well, this is a common formula in the national election of a certain “free country” in the past life, and it’s very useful.

Auspicious signs, to put it bluntly is Liu Bang beheading the white snake uprising that set, to give themselves a name, and this is precisely the most important, can never underestimate the “people’s hearts” four words.

Xu Qi’an analyzed a wave in his mind and transmitted the message:

[First Counselor Qian has the talent to rule the country.]

[I: This is the meaning of Wang Zhenwen, the former chief minister.]

[Three: Your Highness said this with me?]

[I: Auspicious Omen ………. The Palace has thought about it for a long time, but there is not a single suitable idea.]

You can’t ask me about this, I’m just a crude martial artist ………. Xu Qi’an mentally spat out a sentence and made a suggestion:

[Let the Spirit Dragon carry Your Highness and fly over the capital?]

[I: The people of the capital do not know the Spirit Dragon, and they throw winks to the blind.]

[3: I am well versed in the ways of the beasts, and I can attract a hundred birds to the sky.]

No sooner had he finished speaking than he self-denied the suggestion.

The capital is not the south, and there are hardly any birds in the winter, and this year’s winter was exceptionally cold, and many hardy birds froze to death.

Even if he was exhausted, the number of birds he could summon was limited, and a small fight was meaningless and did not emphasize the ceremonial nature of the empress’s ascension to the throne.

[3: You hold the Zhenguo sword and fly around on the Spirit Dragon?]

[1: Anyone of royal bloodline can hold the Zhen Guo Sword. Moreover, the people’s eyesight is limited, so flying too high to see it, and flying too low to circle the capital would appear to be claptrap for the Palace.]

Waiking thought about that scene and felt so ashamed.

Then you go to the warlocks and Confucians, they are the ones who are fancy, I am just a crude martial artist ………. Xu Qi An frowned:

[I’m sorry, I can’t.]

[I: It’s just!

In the imperial study, Huaiqing put down the pieces of the ground book and sighed softly.

Qian Qingshu at the bottom of the hall immediately said:

“Your Highness, does Xu Yinluo have an idea?”

He didn’t recognize the fragment of the Earth Book, and just thought it was a magic weapon used for contact in the Divine Council.

Huaiqing shook his head slightly.

Liu Hong, the left imperial historian, said:

“If it’s not possible, we can have Zhao Shou manifest the dragon and phoenix and chorus visions when His Highness ascends to the throne.”

There was no way for them, the civil officials, to resort to transcendental experts for this kind of operation of auspicious omens. Xu Qi’an couldn’t do anything about it, so he could only look for Zhao Shou.

Qian Qingshu pondered for a moment and said:

“This is a fair method, but the scene is slightly lacking and not deep enough.”

Zhang Xingying made a rare move to echo the words of the king’s party bigwigs:

“Your Highness ascended to the throne, the opening of our dynasty has never been a feat, extraordinary, this auspicious omen, since the more grand the better.”

They want the kind of auspiciousness that shocks the capital.

The civil officials searched the history books and studied the operation of the previous generation, and found out a total of three ways, the dragon and the phoenix and the song is considered the best, but Huaiqing is still not too satisfied.

Of course, if one is born with a vision, then there are more ways to do it, except that a vision does not mean it is auspicious.

In fact, most birth visions on a grand scale symbolize catastrophe.

Like the earth moving, like lightning and thunder, like blood rushing through the sky ………

………..

The best omen of good fortune, is not I carry you around the capital, I am the most famous beast in Dafeng ah ………. Xu Qi An spat while putting down the pieces of the ground book.

Suddenly, he smelled a burst of flowers, and the fresh scent of grass.

Stunned look around, indoor has long changed a look, Mu Nanjian lying in a flower bush, colorful flowers, bright green grass, from the bed grow out, from the quilt grow out.

It grows out of the tub, out of the coffee table, out of the risers, out of all wooden furniture.

For a moment, Xu Qi’an suspected that she wasn’t sitting in her bedroom, but in a flower room.

This, this is simply outrageous ………. Xu Qi’an was stupefied.

To be honest, this kind of ability was rare even in the Transcendent Realm, and the Flower God Spirit Embodiment was as terrifying as it was.

He was agonizing over how to clean up a room full of flowers and plants when he suddenly had a thought in his mind and once again took out a fragment of the Earth Book and initiated a private chat with Huai Qing:

[Your Highness, I have a note that will make your ascension to the throne a heavenly blessing, the kind that goes down in history.]

……….
