Longevity Martial Arts Begins by Taking Care of the Queen

Chapter 86 The Queen Mother’s Desire [Please order first]

Changle Palace, Yongle Palace.

The empress walked in front, wearing a brocade dragon robe, with a heroic appearance. Qingluan was half a step behind, following her like a shadow. She was still wearing a light green plain skirt, but the pattern was slightly different. There were several palace maids and eunuchs further behind.

When the empress entered the Yongle Palace, all the maids and eunuchs saluted in unison and called her "Your Majesty."

The empress didn't even look at it, and went straight to the sleeping hall, Qingluan followed closely, and the other eunuchs and maids stayed in the outer hall.

Entering the bedroom, the empress glanced over and headed towards the bed.

On a soft bed covered with various gorgeous brocades, the Queen Mother was lying on her side, supporting her head with one hand. Under a phoenix quilt was a voluptuous, mature, plump and attractive body, with a pair of crystal feet exposed, which aroused people's imagination.

Even on the phoenix couch, the Queen Mother's temperament is still graceful, noble, elegant, and faintly charming, with a pair of phoenix eyes filled with autumn water, which seduces the soul.

"My son, I have met the Queen Mother." The empress bowed and said calmly.

The Queen Mother seemed to have just noticed the empress. She glanced over and nodded slightly, "Your Majesty came from Yangming Lake and worked hard all the way. Please give me a seat~"

"No, I still have official business to deal with, and I won't be here for long." The empress waved her hand in refusal.

The Queen Mother keenly noticed the change in the Empress' self-proclaimed name. She raised her eyebrows slightly and glanced at Qingluan behind her. She said quietly: "Your Majesty came to see the Ai family and brought a bodyguard with him. Do you think the Ai family will be detrimental to Your Majesty?"

The Queen Mother took this opportunity to vent her dissatisfaction, but the Empress looked indifferent and did not reply, as if she had not heard.

Seeing that the Empress did not accept the move, the Queen Mother snorted secretly and did not dwell on the matter. The Empress would take Qingluan with her wherever she went or whatever she did. She had known for a long time.

The Queen Mother stopped talking and just looked at the Empress quietly. Her eyes occasionally glanced at Qingluan, and she kept wondering about the Empress' gender.

The empress was not her biological child, and the relationship used to be relatively harmonious. After Shizong died and the empress succeeded to the throne, their relationship took a turn for the worse and became quite cold. The empress was extremely wary of the queen mother.

Just because the Queen Mother wanted to listen to politics behind the curtain and hold the highest power of the Daqian Dynasty.

Sejong was young and powerful, his strength was unfathomable, his prestige was as high as that of the founder of the country, and his lifespan was still very long, so that no force from all parties bet on the empress. After all, no one expected that Sejong would die suddenly, and no one would bet on the empress in another hundred years. It’s too late.

When Shizong died suddenly, the new emperor succeeded to the throne according to the imperial edict, and his foundation was very weak. The civil and military officials of the entire dynasty had not yet recovered, and they could not understand why Shizong died suddenly.

At that time, the Queen Mother summoned the Empress once, and vaguely revealed her idea of ​​listening to politics behind the curtain. This was the Queen Mother's best opportunity, and of course she had to seize it.

Unexpectedly, the empress flatly refused and left, causing the relationship between the two to deteriorate.

The Queen Mother was extremely dissatisfied. The Empress was so young and had no strength, prestige and power. How could she control the civil and military forces of the dynasty?How to resist the enemy's gaze?

She just wants to grasp the highest power without competing with the empress for the throne. When the empress grows up and has full wings, she will return the power to the empress and make a smooth transition.

What's wrong with letting her act as a lubricant and a person in power during the transitional period?
The Empress Dowager felt that this was very good. It not only allowed her to step onto the stage and listen to the affairs behind the curtain, but also satisfy her desire for power. It could also stabilize the situation of the Daqian Dynasty and prevent it from being turbulent due to the sudden death of King Sejong, which would destroy thousands of years of foundation. once;
At the same time, it can also suppress the careerists of all parties in Daqian, lay the foundation for the empress to take power in the future, and create a good environment; finally, it also gives the empress time to grow up, so that she can grow up with peace of mind and cultivate her wings so that she can take over the power in the future.

This was a great thing that could be done in one fell swoop, and would make the Daqian Dynasty more glorious and prosperous in the future, but the empress refused without knowing what to do.

How can the Queen Mother not be angry?

After some thought, the Queen Mother decided to put pressure on the Empress and force her to submit.

As the newly appointed queen, the Queen Mother had a keen eye for the sky and knew the intelligence of the capital city and all parties in the world. After careful selection, she selected General Chu Yuan.

Although the Queen Mother's surname was not Chu, she and Chu Yuan were considered distant relatives. The two had some contact in the past, and General Chu Yuan was the best candidate for cooperation.

Although Chu Yuan was powerful, he did not dare to seek government and usurp the throne. That would lead to an ugly death. At most, he would be a powerful minister, which seemed to conflict with the Queen Mother's ultimate goal, but in fact it was not.

The ambitions of the three kings were the three shackles the Queen Mother put around Chu Yuan's neck. With all parties involved, the Queen Mother would be able to control the power.

Therefore, the Queen Mother summoned Chu Yuan for a secret meeting and revealed to him the information that Emperor Qian was born as a daughter. Although she only found clues, it did not prevent her from telling Chu Yuan as the truth.

After a little encouragement from her, Chu Yuan was indeed moved and left in a hurry.

The Queen Mother was very satisfied with this. The situation after that was a snipe and a clam fighting for the fisherman's profit, and the Queen Mother could adapt to changes.

If the empress cannot withstand the pressure and compromises with the Queen Mother, and the two of them cooperate, then the Queen Mother can go straight into the center, listen to politics from behind the curtain, and kick away the Chu Yuan.

If the empress remains uncompromising, the empress dowager will still have great hope of seizing the opportunity to take power once the deposed emperor succeeds in establishing a new one.

Relatively speaking, the latter has more variables and takes longer. The Queen Mother hopes to achieve the former, which is good for both of them.

From the bottom of her heart, the Queen Mother did not want to have a fierce battle with Chu Yuan and the three kings. The Queen Mother's compromise was the best choice. The Queen Mother could be in power for a period of time, and the Queen Mother could still be the Qian Emperor and regain power in the future.

As the situation developed, the empress was forced into a corner and refused to compromise with the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was secretly worried and could only prepare for the worst.

Unexpectedly, Cao Ze came to Beijing under the imperial edict and reversed the situation in a short period of time. The empress consummated the marriage with the empress, which dispelled the rumors and gradually solidified her foundation. This was extremely bad news for the empress dowager.

She would rather the empress be deposed and fight for power with Chu Yuan and the three kings than sit firmly on the throne, in which case the queen mother would have no chance.

The Queen Mother carefully looked at the Empress for the first time, looking at the Empress's cheeks, neck, chest, lower body and many other important parts from top to bottom, her eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The empress's face is extremely beautiful, and she is not as beautiful as a man, but this does not mean that the empress is a woman, because the empress has an Adam's apple and a flat chest. The empress seems to have all the characteristics of men.

The Queen Mother recalled her previous contact with the Empress and the clues she found, and she still believed that the Empress might be a daughter.

But the Queen Mother didn't know how the Empress did it. She was able to hide it from the outside world, so that she and the civil and military officials of the whole court could not find the flaw. Last night, she even consummated the marriage with the Queen and made up for the last flaw.

Thinking of this, the Queen Mother felt angry and bitter in her heart, and she made a severe note to Cao Ze, who was the main culprit of making her angry.

The empress could feel the Queen Mother's gaze. She stood still with a faint smile on her face, as if everything was under control.

Until the Queen Mother looked away, the Empress felt a little proud, and then she said calmly: "The Queen Mother called me here just to chat?"

The Queen Mother's beautiful eyes moved, and she said carefully: "The Ai family has lived in the palace for a long time, and they feel quite lonely. There is no one to talk to, so I want to talk to Your Majesty."

"It has been half a year since Your Majesty ascended the throne. Is everything going well? If you have any worries, you can talk to the Ai family. The Ai family may be able to give you some suggestions." There was a flash of surprise in Empress Feng's eyes. The Queen Mother's attitude was actually a bit strange. Soften, do you want to be softened?
"The Queen Mother is worried. I have observed that everything is going well. If the Queen Mother feels lonely, she can go to the lake with Princess Xiang to enjoy the flowers and take care of herself."

The empress' thoughts turned around, but she did not accept it. Her tone was calm and she firmly took the initiative.

The two exchanged notes for half a stick of incense, and then the empress took Qingluan and left in a hurry, not wanting to stay in Yongle Hall for a moment longer.

"Too deceiving!"

The Queen Mother bit her silver teeth lightly, clapped her jade hand forward, and a large, beautiful porcelain vessel a few feet away shattered.

She took the initiative to give in, but the empress didn't give her any face, and even told her to live in her old age. How could the queen mother be willing?

The Queen Mother is less than seventy years old. Compared with her 400-year lifespan, she is still in her prime. Her face is as beautiful as a young woman, her skin is as supple as a girl's, and her whole body is flawless.

"Late Emperor, you are so cruel to leave me alone."

The Queen Mother tossed and turned on the soft phoenix couch. When the Empress said this, she suddenly felt a little empty.

She still has hundreds of years to live, does she have to stay alone in her empty house for the rest of her life?

She can do it for another 300 years!

Leizhou, as one of the three states in Gyeonggi Province, is undoubtedly the core area guarding Zhongzhou.

Here there are outstanding people, abundant resources, prosperous commerce, dense population, and even more powerful rivers and lakes than other states.

In the seventeen states of the Daqian Dynasty, not every state had top Jianghu forces stationed there. Some states had only one, some states had none, and each of the three states in Gyeonggi had two.

Chunyang Palace is located in Leizhou, on the towering and dangerous Chunyang Mountain. Every year, countless people want to visit Chunyang Palace.

Chunyang Palace is not only one of the two top powers in Leizhou, but also one of the four great sects in the world. Its heritage is unfathomable and its reputation has been spread throughout the world for countless years.

Unexpectedly, Chunyang Palace was involved in the turmoil in Zhengjing City. Chunyang Palace suddenly suffered heavy losses and suffered heavy losses. When the news spread back to Chunyang Mountain, the entire Chunyang Palace was shocked. The old palace master Huolong Zhenren, who had been in seclusion for many years, was forced to Exit.

On the top of Chunyang Mountain, inside Chunyang Hall.

The Fire Dragon Master sat at the top. His beard and hair were all fiery red, and his face was red. He was wearing a Taoist robe embroidered with a fire dragon. At this moment, his anger was rising, causing the storm in the sky.

"Tell me, what's going on?" Master Huolong's cold gaze swept across the many elders in the hall, and finally landed on the great elder.

The great elder's face was quite pale. His spirit was fatally injured and he was almost killed by Cao Ze with a single blow. He had not yet recovered. Faced with the old palace master's inquiry, he had no choice but to speak out.

After hearing this, Master Huolong was so angry that his beard stood on end and he sternly rebuked: "You are confused! You are confused!"

It turned out that Chuyang Palace openly supported Chu Yuan, but secretly supported King Yan. The Lord of Chunyang Palace and the Great Elder believed that King Yan had the greatest possibility of ascending to the throne.

Chunyang Palace is a powerful force in the world. It went to get involved in the court battles, and it was almost full. Now it has not gained much benefit, and Chunyang Palace has also suffered a blood loss.

As soon as Chunyang Palace intervened, his hand was cut off. The Great Elder almost died, the Lord of Chunyang Palace died directly, and even the Divine Sword Chunyang and the leader's token and many items were left in Cao Ze's hands.

The elders in the palace were all silent. Master Huolong glanced at them coldly, his heart filled with anger. This group of people almost pushed Chunyang Palace into the abyss.

Master Huolong glanced at a pile of Di's newspapers, and with a move of his hand, all the Di's newspapers flew into his hands. His mind quickly swept over them, and his expression gradually became solemn.

"What a Cao Shaoqing, what a Chenliu Cao family, they are so well hidden." Master Huolong looked incomprehensible.

This is the latest 20th floor newspaper, which records the latest news released on the 20th floor. Cao Ze has firmly occupied the top spot of Qianlong and Fengyun. Even the grandmaster list has risen from No.[-] to No.[-], just because Cao Ze killed the Chunyang Palace Master who was holding the Chunyang Sword in a short time.

Seeing this, Master Huolong became even more angry. He couldn't control Cao Ze's rise, but he couldn't make a name for himself by stepping on the body of their Chunyang Palace master.

"Whoo~"

Master Huolong took a long breath, calmed down, looked at the elders in the hall, and said calmly: "You don't need to worry about Cao Ze's affairs. I will find him to settle matters."

As soon as the words fell, the figure of Master Huolong disappeared from Chunyang Palace.

He has not been in the martial arts world for 20 years, and the martial arts world has forgotten his reputation as the Fire Dragon Master. He dared to kill the headmaster of Chunyang Palace without permission. This is simply too much bullying. This revenge must be avenged.

Cao Ze was hiding in Zhengjing City, accompanied by a great master of the late stage of Heavenly Man, and an army of magic swords with the same combat power, which was difficult to deal with.

If Master Huo Long breaks into Zhengjing City to seek revenge, the great masters of heaven and man in the court will join forces with Cao Ze to suppress Master Huo Long and safeguard the common interests of the court.

Therefore, Master Huolong did not go to Zhongzhou, but to Qingzhou. He planned to go to the Chenliu Cao family to ask for an explanation and make a big fuss.

In the past, there were two great masters of the Chenliu Cao Clan. Among them, the ancestor of the Cao family was in the late stage of Celestial Being. Later, Cao Ze, the middle stage Celestial Being, and Xue Ningmei, the late stage Celestial Being appeared. The outside world once again re-estimated the background of the Chenliu Cao Clan.

Now that Cao Ze and Xue Ningmei are in Zhengjing City, Chen Liu's Cao family's home base lacks top-level combat power. Even if the ancestor of the Cao family further reaches the peak of heaven and humanity, so what?

After 20 years of seclusion, Master Huolong has already reached the peak of the unity of heaven and man, and even opened two heavenly gates in one fell swoop. Therefore, he is confident that he will be able to overpower the Chenliu Cao family.

Right in the capital city,
Cao Ze and Xue Ningmei were wandering aimlessly in the outer city.

After leaving Jingyue Tower, Cao Ze and Xue Ningmei got into the carriage, but not long after they left, Cao Ze greeted Uncle Fu and asked him to drive around the inner city before returning home, while Cao Ze and Xue Ningmei stayed silent. He walked away without being noticed by anyone.

Although Cao Ze is now well-known in the capital, not many people know his appearance. Most people can't afford the Twelfth Floor Newspaper and just hear some news.

Cao Ze and Xue Ningmei also used their spiritual thoughts to interfere, making their appearance look more ordinary and less noticeable.

"What a majestic and prosperous city."

After shopping with Xue Ningmei for half an hour, the two came to a restaurant and entered the private room on the fifth floor. Cao Ze stood in front of the window and looked at the bustling street and sighed.

Suddenly, a person on the street came into his sight and attracted Cao Ze's attention.
